The recorder yesterday had nothing
tn excite him. His levss was we'll attend
ed by the fashionable bssux who usually
dance attendance, and many danced up to
five dollars, and, having footed their bills,
were footed cut, to be footed in again
whenever they get on a bender, which is
sure 10 tFing them up straight before His
Honor. His Honor breaches good morals,
and snforces his mRxims OF PiSty with a
vim that Ia deeply felt. Many consciences
are csrrisd about In hreechss pockets.
We've heard preachers say sH much, while
all the recorders ermons sre based Ggon

agement and substantial help they have

The following reached us yesterday,
addressed from the sherins oEice, OAld-
well, Noble county, Ohio, and is Of inter-
est TO the soldiers of b war Of 1872, or
their widows: "By SGT February Il, 1871,
congress pensiOned all the soldiers of the
war OF 1872, and their widows, where a
of sixty days could be proven, but
excepted from the provisions Of that act
those who could not swear that they had
not aided rebellion etc. Hence none, or
Of the soldies Of 1872, or their widows, |
who hve south, get pensions. This is
wrong. Few Of tbem-none OF the widows
lever fought us IN the Confederate ar
mies, and If the mere 'sympsshiEing with
rebellion will disqualify them, hen
many OF thsSs old people north will get no
pensionl Itis a fact that when land war
were granted before the war, no Sec
tiOnsl distinction Wss made, but all got
Congress should change the
and pension all alike. In February
shall present 70 congress q petition ssk-
this change, and all the old heroes,
Or their widows, who desire is, address,
