Anecdotes of the War.

Very stringent regulations were
adopted finally, and with every noti-
lication of failure in correctness came
also the notification that "your name
has been reported to the War Depart
mcnt in order that your pay may be
stopped" or "your name has been
reported to the President, in order
that il may be stricken from the ar
my list" One in this latter form was
received by old Capt. who had puz-
zled over his account in vain until he
was nearly frantic. On receiving
the notification, he ceased from his
labors and waited patiently. Final
ly, hearing nothing Of it, he sat down
and anxiously wrote-''Dear Sir:
What dtd the President say? Yours
truly"
We have never seen the story in
print, but it was known throughout
the army, and "what did the Presi-
dent say p was the popular reply to
all threats Of whatever sort from the

STAGING IN THE SToRM.--Stage men and stage
drivers have had rough time of during the past
week. The stage from Quincy to 0roville was
caught in the snow storm on Walkers Plains, and
could neither continue the trip nor retrace their
steps. The soft snow falling to the depth of four
five feet completely checked the progress of the
team and the stage due in OroviIle on Tuesday af-
ternoon, was still out in the merciless storm on
Thursday. When it was found impossible to make
any further progress with the team, some of the
men made their way in to the Buckeye House leav-
ing of their number in exhausted condition
on their way. A party Immediately started to the
rescue snow shoes and fortunately found and
rescued the exhausted passenger. The party did
not continue their trip to the point where the team
eye, with the intention of carrying in feed, with
the hope of keeping them alive until the snow har.

Garland, the proprietor of the line, left for the

FAMILY MEpIcISE.-Davis' Pain Killer is a
purely vegetable compound and while it is most
efficient remedy for pain, it is perfectly safe med
icine even in the most unskilful hands. For sum-
msr complaint or any other form of bowel disease
in children or adults, it is an almost certain cure,
and has, without doubt, been more successful in
curing the various kinds of cholera than any other
known remedy, or the most skiltul physician. In
India, Africa, and China, where this dreadful dis
ease is ever more or less prevalent the Pain Killer
is considered by the natives as well as European
residents in those climates, sure remedy. Sold
