a tavern in the sitty NV BuffeIlO, pen

A Card.

I can make no adequate spoken or writ

of st. Clairsville for their sympathy and
kindness while | lay wounded and suf-

into my wounds shall have crossed the
"Beautiful River" I trust that they may
stand In the presence of THE KING-upon
the right-and that In answer He may
say" Inasmuch as ys did 1t unto the
least of one of these, my children, ye did
