Many persons have the impression that
Congress at its receu. session passed bill
giving bounty ofIand to all soldiers who
served in the late civil war. This is not
so. An amendment was passed to the
Homestead law by which every discharged
soldier who desires to acquire a home on
government lands, and will become an ac-
tual settler thereon, may have the entire
period of his service in the army deducted
from the Eve years residence which the
law requires Of other settlers before q clear
title to tue land is given them.

Go Home. Bows.

Boys, don't hang around the corners
of the streets. If you have anything
to do, do it promptly, right off, then go
home. Home is the place for boys.
About the street corners and at the
stables they learn to talk slang, and
they learn to swear, to smoke tobacco,
and to do many other things they ought
not to do. 'c-- .-.- i.
Do your business and then go home.
If your business is play, play and make
business of it. 1 like to see boys play
good, earnest, healthy games. If I was
the town would give the boys a good,
spacious playground. It should have
plenty Of soft, green grass, and trees,
and fountains, and broad space to run
and jump and play suitable games. 1
would make it as pleasant aud rs lovely
as it could be, and when the play was
ended would tell them to go home.
For when boys hang around street
corners and the stables theyg get slouchy
and listless. Of all things 1 dislike a
listless boy or girl. l would have .
hundred boys like a hundred yachts,
every spar straight and every rope taut,
the decks and sides clean, the rigging
all in order, and everything ready to
clip the cable, and fly before the wind
when the wind comes.
But this cannot be if you lounge
about the streets, and loaf about the
corners, idle away your time at the
stables and the saloons. ~
When you are away from home have
some business; attend to your business,
and then go home.

Stamp the Doennlents.


We have before mentioned that an act
of Congress goes into effect October 1st,
by which stamps will be no longer re-
quired except on bank checks. There
are great many documents, doubtless
now in existence that are not legal
through neglect of affixing stamps by
the party executing them. The above
act provides that, 5et,1eeR f,oU and Oct.
lst, the holder of any instrument in
writing Of whatever kind or descrip-
ton, which has been made or issued
without being duly stamped, may make
application TO any collector of Internal
Revenue, who is directed thereupOn to
affix the stamps prorided by such holder
upon such instrument of writing as re-
quired by law, subject to the provisions
of the Internal Revenue laws. All
holders of promissory notes, deeds,
bonds and other instruments in writing
required by law to be stamped, accord
ing to the. provisions of the law above
stated, may avail themselves of this op-
portunity to render them legal and val

"BOunce Him Out.o

Last Friday the town was flooded with
bills announcing that an Operatic
Troupe would perform in Town Hall
that evening, giving a long list of
names, characters, with name of piece
to be performed, &c. There were to be
lS first-class actors. All to conclude
with the laughable farce of "Bounce
Him Out" The hour having arrived,
quite a number of theatre-loving per-
sons, both ladies and gentlemen met inthe
Hall, awaiting the rising of the curtain
(there were no curtains to rise), when
one of the gents stepped out and said
that it was not often that they were dis
appointed, or were obliged to disap-
point their audience, but that they were
of necessity compelled to announce that
their performers had not arrived, and
that they would be obliged to ask the
indulgence Of the audience present, and
that they would do the best they could
to entertain them. Accordingly Prof
So-and-So was announced to give solo
with guitar accompaniments. Such
singing and playing our citizens had
never heard before. Then some other
Professor was announced. BY this time
the audience began to ''smell o MICE"
and commenced going out, until finally
there was general stampede. The po-
lice arrived just in time to prevent
row. The professors" were obliged
to shell ont the money they had taken
in, until they had paid out more than
they had received, some having got a
dollar, and others fifty cents who had
not given a cent. The Farce-"Bounce
him Out" was admirably played.

Bell Ringers Again.

The Leavitt Bell Ringers were in
Millersburg some months ago, and gave
our citizens one of their fine entertain
ments. Everybody was pleased with
them then; and will be glad to know
that they purpose returning and giving
two more musical entertainments
Thursday and Friday night of this week.
All who heard them last spring will
want to hear them again, and all who
did not go to hear them then should not
miss the opportunity now offered. The
music of the Swiss Bells is among the
sweetest that can be made, so rich and
pure in tone and quality. Such con-
certs have a tendency to elevate the
moral standard in community. Go,
then, one and all, old and young, and
listen to the enchanting strains of pure,
good music.
