Gen. Thomas furnishes the Montpelier
Watchman with the annexed notice of PEN
sion matters within his district:
This district consists of windham. Wind
sor, Orange, Caledonia, Washington, Or
leans, and Essex Counties, and has con-
siderably larger roll OF pensioners than the
district which is composed of the remain
der of the State.
The annual disbursements for this dis
district amount to about 5000
Ofrevolutionary pensioners there are now
on the rolls of the office, eleven widows.
The number three years ago was twenty
two, just one half having died during this
short period. There are no surviving PEN
sioners Of this war. In order to be en-
titled to pension, the soldier must have
served six months, and have been honor
ably discharged.
The act OF February, Ia, 1871, provides
that every soldier who served sixty days
in the war Of 1872, their widows, provided
they were married prior to February II,
1881 or children, shall be entitled to PEN
sion. Under this provision two hundred
and three surviving pensioners have been
enrolled, of which number thirty two have
since died. There have been fifty widow
ed pensioners Of this class, of whom eleven
have died during the past two years.
Ofthe soldiers Of the Mexican War, only
those who were wounded, or the heirs of
of those who were killed or wounded or in
capactated while in the service, can draw
pension. or this clas. there are only three
survivinp penaionarc. and ooI,, .,,.o 81 A..
eight widows who drew pensions three
years ago, are now living.
1t is impossible to give the exact number
Of pensioners Of the late war who are paid
through this Office, but the number will
not vary much from 1000, and the decrease
in the number of this class of pensioners
per year Is, OF course, much less marked
than in that Of the older classes. During
the past six months 81 names have been
droped from the roll for the reason of re-
covery, marriage or death, and as many
more have not drawn their pensions, and
are probably not entitled to them, although
not so officially reported at the office. Tho
number of new pensioners is very small
in comparison with the number dropped.
The smallest pension paid is S1.OO per
month, and there are but two of this grade
paid here. The largest pension is ss1.25
per month.
ALL For LOVE; OR, THE OUTLAWS
BRIDE, is the title of Miss Eliza A. Dupuv,s
new Novel, now in press, and to be pub
lished in few days by T. B. Peterson &
Brothers, Philadelphia, Pa. 1t is a graphic
story of Corsican life, in which the wild
passions of that tameless race are yiyidly
depicted. The magnificent caverns de-
scribed in its pages actually exist in that
island, and they have been used as places
of concealment by the unfortunates banned
by the blood vengeance which is the curse
Of that gem Of the Mediterranean. The
grand mountain scenery also receives JUS
tice at the authors hands. The story itself
is deeply interesting from the first page TO
the last; the action is rapid, and the interest
never flags. Miss Dupuy is one of the
most successful of American novelists.
