The next brother also . rail
road engineer, received the ring and
placed it upon his finger, where he
had worn it but . few months
when no, too, was killed by sn &C
cident that wrecked the trsia upoa
wAich he was employed. The ring
then descended TO the youngest
and only surviving brother, and
was cherished by him as an almost
sacred relic. He never suffered its
removal from his finger even for .
moment. When he was killed by
tho explosion Of his engine last
week, the fatal ring was upon his
finger. Thus it had been worn by
all three Of the brothers, and had
beeu upon the finger of all Of thom
at the moment they all met q trag
ic death.
And now tho fatal ring has at
last reached the poor, heart broken
mother of these threo young men.
She will no doubt regard Il 40 q
sad memcnto Of her desolatioa,
being . widow. In nee'ly circum-
stances, and bereft OF her last sup
port. In turn the three brothers
had shared their wages with her
and her two daughters. They were
all young men Of noble nature and
| excellent character. The mothers
and sisters reside at York, Pa
where the bodies Of the three
brothers now lie entombed.

Grants Confirmation - Brigadier-0snsrai
in 1861. 4

The seventh annual meeting Of
the New Hampshire Veterans Un-
ion was held in Manchester on
Tuesday, Gen. A. Stevens, the
President in the chair. At the
close Of the business meeting the
members and their lady friends sat
down 10 dinner,at the conclusion
of which responses we're made to
various toasts. the first being, The
President Of tho United States.
To this Hon. Daniel Clark, formerly
United States Senator, and now
Judge Of the United States District
Court, responded. After some pre-
liminary remarks, Judge Clark said
that during the extra session Of the
summer OF 1861 the name Of Col.
q. S. Grant was sent In for confirm.
alton as Brigadier General. A few
Senators only seemed to have ever
heard OF him before, and the inqui
~ was. Who is Col. Grant,? It
was said that he was q former Cap.
tain in the regular army, who had
resigned his commission, and had
lately been appointed a Colonel of
an Illinois regiment, and was then
in command at Cairo The nom
ination was thereupon referred to
the Committee Of Military Affairs
Of the Senate. Soon after this il
was said that Col. Grant had at
some time during his life been ad-
dicted to the use Of ardent spirit
After some delay the nomination
was reported back to the Senate
from tho Committee on Military
Affairs, Without any recommends
tion whatever that it should either
be confirmed or rejected. There
upon some inquiry was made as to
the habits Of Col Grant, and tho
nomination was referred back to
the committee for further invests
cation and inquiry. After some
delay one of the Scnators from
Illinois read letter from ]. D.
Webster, who was then upon the
staff Of Col. Grant, stating that he
(Col. Grant, was not only addicted
TO the frequent uss Of ardent spir-
its, but that he did not use liquor
at all. Judge Clark said that when
the name OF J. d. Webster was
. read as the writer Of tho letter, 1,
t occurred to him that possibly he
. might have known him, and he in.
. quired if it was Joseph D. Web

said he then arose and declared

THE HOLLY, LAUREL AND YEH


The white rime sits on the silver'd bough,
The red-berried holly, the green spiked yew-
The shining laurel is frosted now,
And the hours Of daylight are short and few.
But kind he arts beat BY the bright fireside,
And soft eyes sparkle BY candle light
And we draw the curtains at evensids.
Shut out the shadows, and welcome night.
The snow-Aakes fall through the darken'd air,
But never q mOrsel for that we care
And, it may be, we have silver to spare,
And can give to the homeless penny fee.
All! brighter than shines the homestead fire,
And dearer see m the dear faces all,
