to Discharged Soldiers!

BELIEVING that the soldiers who enlisted
u early in the war, who first sprang to arms
at the coHntry's call, and first placed them
selves in tie front, should receive at least all
equal amount of. bounty with those who en-
listed after December "a, 1863, l A. HUTCH
INsoN, of Columbus, Ohio, General Agent tor
the collection of Military Claims, offers his
services. and with the assistance of the SOL
diers themselves, will undertake to secure it.
He accordingly invites all soldiers who enlis-
ted in the army prior to the oath of Deem
Der, 1868, and were hunorably discharged
therefrom, receiving only 500 or less, boun-
ty. no matter what the CAUSE of the discharge
or length of time served, to forward their dis
charge papers to him Immediately, that a
prompt and decisive effort may be made to
secure what would seem to be so justly due.
Upon receiving the discharges, receipts for
them will be promptly returned, accompanied
by the necessary papers in each particular
case, with full information,
This is a matter that must receive imme-
date attention, for, unless it is attended to at
once. and supported by a sufficient lumber
of interested names and applications to in
duce the necessary %action,it will doubtless be
postponed, and may be finally dropped.
Ey"See to it then without delay. Already
quite a number of cases are on file, and if any
soldier thinks me has not already received
what is properly due, let him send his dis
charge, with a clear statement of what he
claims, and an early reply will be given.
The heirs or legal representatives of SOL
diers who enlisted prior to the Oath of Deem
Der, 1868, and died in the service, or in Rebel
prisons. will also be equally entitled to the
benefits contemplated in this movement, and
they are requested to lose no tim in commu-
n~icating with him on the subject.
ONCE MORE, attention will be called to the
Importance Of acting at once in this matter.
If successful, a moderate compensation will
be asked; if uns uccessful no fee will be called
for.
All classes of Military Claims entrusted to
him are prosecuted to speedy settlement.
Address all communications plainly, /. A.
HUTCHINSON, P. o. box 81, Columbus, o.
Soldiers are particularly cautioned against
selling their discharges. If they are pur-
chased for any honest purpose, it must be al
a price far below the real worth to the SOL
dier himself.

To many of the citizens of Monroe
County, the deceased was we'll and favor
ably known; and although nearly four
years have elapsed since his death, but
few Of those who knew him, when a res
ident cf this place, had heard of his de-
cease. The writer of this humble tribute
to his memory knew him intimately and
we'll. Many pleasant years were passed
with him iii the same persuits, and his
memory is fondly cherished. He entered
the Office of the first paper established in
this county, as an apprentice, and follow
ed that occupation, either as a journey
man printer or an editor, till the close Of
his earthly career. At one time he edi-
ted and published a paper in this place,
but shortly afterwards removed to Ten
nessee. At the breaking out of the re-
bellion he was a resident of Arkansas,
where he died. The recent troubles pre-
vented his old friends and acquaintance
from receiving earlier intelligence of his
death. That he was a fond and affection
ate husband and father no one who knew
him can for a moment doubt. "May he
)rest in peace"

MrWe received a letter last week for
publication complaining Of the injustice
done parties purchasing the homestead
claims for which Nathan Hollister is at
torney or agent. The writer is highly
indignant. So much SO that he has not
written his letter in proper temper for
publication.
He states that he purchased aclaim on
the representation that he was to have
good farming land-better than much Of
the lands here-hut that upon going to
it, he found it a mere stony desert, wholly
worthless.
Three names we're signed to the letter,
but We hope the signefs will be satisfied
with this statement, insteadof publishing
their strong language which, in a more
pleasant mood, they might regret.

OBIT A H Y .

DiED.-fn Des Are, Ark, on the Both
of March, 1862, Mr.. JOHN C. MORRILL,,
late editor Of the Des Arc Citizen, in the
.42d year of his age.
The subject of this obituary was born
in the State Of Maine, and,a an early age
moved 70 the State Of Ohio, where he re-
sided for several years, from thence to-
Memphis, Tennessee, where he resided
until about eight years previous to his
death, when he moved to this county
He left behind him a number of warm
and true friends. He was truly one of
the "noblest works of God, IN honest
man." he was quiet and u%nassuming in his
manners, and esteemed and beloved by a
large circle of acquaintance and friends.
He has left behind him fond friends and
dear relations to mourn over his depart
ure and cherish his memory.
Death, under any circumstances, SO far
as it refers to the separation of those ties
of affection and friendship which bind the
members of a family to each other, can
not but be regarded as an occasion for
lamentation. That which renders the
death of the subject of this notice pecu-
liarly affective, is the removal of the stay
and hope of his family. That tender pa
rental regard which was evidenced by the
provision he had made for them-his
daily watchfulness and attention to the
wants of those who stood in this near re-
lationship, causes them to feel this af-
Biction most severely. But like David,
who, while his sons life was prolonged,
wept. refusing to be comforted, now that
Death has performed its Office, they find
consolation in the reflection that Though
he cannot return to us we shall soon go to
him"
A wife, fond and devoted, bereft of him
who had long been her companion, who,
when dependency and gloom as a dark
cloud rested over his earthly prospects,
dispelled that cloud by words as gentle
and kind as they were encouraging and
hopeful, deeply deplores and laments her
loss, which she cannot but regard as his
gain. A wife sheds the bitter tears which
the remembrance of a husbands love, a
husbands preceptan and a husbands exam
pie can alone wiring from the heart Of
woman when the grave closes over the
mortal remains of the loved and lost, and
sewers her from the warm embrace OF a
devoted husband. The grave of our be-
loved Brother will long be believed with
the tears of a wife's affection and love.
Sad as this dispensation appears, it is
a source of consolation, indeed, the only
source, that He who gave h. taken away,
and that with those nearest related. who
knew his hopes, his friends are permitted
to say, Blessed be the name of the Lord.
"Weep not for those
Who sink within the arms of death
Ere yet the chilling wintry breath
OF sorrow Ger them blows.
But weep for them who here remain,
The mournful heritors of pain,
Condemned to see each bright joy fade,
And mark grief's melancholy shade
Flung DER Hopes fairest rose.
Weep not for him who dieth-
For he sleeps and is at rest;
And the couch wherein he lieth
Is the green earth's quiet breast"

MOB LAW IN MICHIGAN.-One Per
Kins, who kept disorderly house in
Saranac, Michigan, was recently wait
ed upon by some thirty OF forty Cit
zens, who threatened to demolish his
residence, giving him fifteen minutes
to remove his family and effect. This
he refused to do, when the crowd pro,
ceeded to business. The house was
soon cleared of its contents, and a
general assault commenced. A dozen
or more stout men with axes soon cut
off the standards, and with the assist
ance of six or eight yoke of oxen, the
structure soon fell to the ground
The occupants had been warned sever.
al times previous to this to leave.
