MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

CHEERFUL UNDER DIFFIcULTIEs.-AtC Can
terbury, N. H., lives Lyman b. Foster, who
was brought home at the close of the war ON
a lounge, from which he has not risen SINCE
He was wounded in the left thigh; the ball
remains there still, and he can neither sit up
or lie down, but reclines, as he has done
through all these years, at an angle midway
between the horizontal and perpendicular
He now busies himself by teaching classes who
come to his room, and by this means and his
pension supports himself well. He has also
organized a literary society in the town, which
is flourishing rapidly. He is continually cheer
full and says he doesn't regret going to war.
What is more, he will be carried OH his couch
election day, three miles away to the Town
Hall, to vote for Grant
Mr. Greeley insulted the soldiers in his
speech at Pittsburg, because he knew they are
against him. For the same reason he insulted
the colored people in a speech at Louisville.
He there said of them, sThere is no other peo-
pie, as class, who insist so thoroughly on
misapprehending and misrepresenting us"
He accounted for this by saying, "They are
ignorant they think we cannot succeed, and
they want to be on the winning SIDE" And
they will be, he might have truthfully added.
Five Cinnamon visited Hackettstown few
days ago, and rented premises in which to
carry on the washing and dyeing business,

near Pleasant Plains, Sangamon County, ILL.,,

New York. a few days since, in a terrible rage.
1t appears that the Greeley National Commit
tee has failed to come to time in the matter
of the Generals compensation at the rate of
5000 per speech, and the prospect of receiving
his dues at any time in future being very du-
bious, he was full to the brim of oaths and
invectives.

Hon. Carrot Davis, United States Senator
from Kentucky, died at his residence in that
State Monday, aged II years. He was a
thorough representative of the true Kentucky

in all his personal life plain, good man of
ordinary ability.
