Short Career Of a Gentlsman

FULTON, Illinois, Jan. 10Th, 1862
EDITOR Rock ISLAND ARGUS, Sir.-The
refined modesty of the usually quiet town of
Fulton has suffered a shock from which |
fear il cannot soon recover. Late last fall,
the Illinois Soldiers College was honored,
or vice versa, by the presence of a modern
Cupid, aged perhaps twenty-five years. His
past career is unknown to US, except that
he halls from Galesburg, in this state, and
the two front letters of his name read-"Jo.
seph T. Hart" His feminine features and
raven locks were q passport to the good gra
ces of our fair damses, and his visits were
viewed with pleasure by fond and indulgent
msmnas. He, Of course, wore the finest
of clothes, sported gold watch, diamond
ring, and sundry articles Of jewelry, which
soon caused him to be looked upon as cen.
tral sun, around which many "Grecian ben
dersn were wont to float in ecstacy. During
the remainder of the Collegiate year. he re.

time, but on seeing that it could be proved
against him, he acknowledged the corn,
