II here appears that Lieut. ROBINSON received
rom nanr inyNrnmnnd MONEY conruerst'on
for his pay accom-, fol- the month OF September
1869. From that time forth, Lieut. ROBINSON
had no claim on the Government for his pay Tor
that month. Nor had be any interest IN the pay
account nor anything whatever to do with II.
Neither was II In accordance with custom for
the bank TO advise him Of the fact OF its

can any argument or sophstry convince us that
such conduct is proper aud oficer-lke.

Fortunately this idea does not prevail in the

FALSE PRETENCES.

The vast and continually increasing
sales of Hostetter's Stomach Bltters have
provoked the envy ola certain class Of
dealers in varions parts Of the country,
who are trying to Substitute their utterly
worthless local nost-umB for the most
popular proprietary medicine In the world.
These impcsters hope by their false state
ments to obtain from the millions who
patronize the great American Tonic,
sufficient number of customers to make
their speculations upon the health Of their
neighbors profitable. As the demand for
Hostetter's Bitters IL noH SO large and
urgent AZ to tax to their fullest extent the
facilities for its manufacture, these petty
attempts to wiring In the merest trash by
false Representations, are Of little conse-
quence to its proprietors. They are, how
ever, serious evil to the victimized. II,
