The Secretary of the National Asso
citation of Veterans of the Mexican War
has issued circular calling the attention
of those interested to the fact that an OBJ
stacle has been thrown in the way of
obtaining pensions for the surviving vet
Grams of the Mexican War by the probably
extravagant estimate made by the Com
missioner of Pensions of the number of
such survivors. The circular calls for
thorough canvass Of every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, through the instru-
mentality of the town, county and State
organizations of the Association, and the
enrolment as soon as possible of the
name of every known survivor, or widow
of veteran of Mexico, the postoffce
address, his rank, the company, regiment,
commanding officer of each; term of
service, when and where enlisted and
discharged, and that the same be for
warded to the First Secretary of the Ma
tional Association Of Veterans of the
Mexican War address, A. M. Kenaday,
Lock Box No. 81, Washington, d. c., to
enable him to prepare the rolls for the
inspection of the committees of Congress
before the close of the present session, if
possible. The Secretary says: In this
way only can areliable estimate be arrived
at for an appropriation; and it is conf
IDENTIFY hoped, if our case is to be fairly
considered and public sentiment regarded,
that Congress will promptly vote an
amount sufficient TO cover the applications
thus presented"

The death of the entire Birmingham
family, consisting of Henry Birmingham
his wife, and three daughters Mary. AGED
eighteen, Title fourteen, and Carrie eigbt
will create wide gap In the social life
of Williamsburg. The circumstances
connected with their case are painful in
the extreme. Mary was teacher in one
of the Northampton schools, and, as was
her custom, had come home to spend
Saturday and Sunday. When the alarm
of the approaching flood vas sounded She
was at work assisting her mother
in her household duties. Her sister
Lille had but just got up, while Carrie
in her bed. Mr.. Birmingham, who was
Superintendent Of the James wooden
mill, had gone to his work, and did not
discover the approaching wave until it
had neared his residence, situated but a
short distance above the factory. Had he
remained in the building his life woald
have been saved, but with the fierce deter
mination Characteristic of the man, he
made dash for his house, intent on saw
ing his family if possible, but as he neared
the doorway the torrent was upon him,
swooping away the house with its in
mates.
George Roberts, bright lad of fifteen,
the only surviving member of the family
of Alexander Roberts, engineer on the
New Haven e. Northampton Railroad,
was carried some distance with the rest
of the family in their house, and when
that broke chung to some debris, and was
carried with the torrent nearly a mile,
when he was rescued by James Forsythe.
The facts connected with his escape which
he can clearly recall are that he fioated
very near to the embankment, but before
he could make landing he was carried
into the current. When finally taken from
the water he was stupefed by exhaustion,
but soon recovered, and is now in his
usual health.

Tie sweeping away of four generations
in me fanaily was among the uncommon !
inc idcnts Of the hood at Leeds, as follows:
M Is. Dunlea, q woman nearly eighty
W ars of age; her daughter, Mrs. Robert
F fitzgerald, ss,ed forty-five years; Mrs.
J iitxgcrald'sson, a youth of twenty.cne,
and four yU1ng children of tho Same
woman, and, finally, the two little children
Of John Clancy, grandchildren of Mrs
Fitzgerald and great-grandchildrcn OF
Mrs. Duniea. Mrs. Clancy, by the way,
died a yeur ago Of consumption, &c ens@
! Clancy'ts now bereft of his whole family.
As marvellous an experience as any
yauntef was that of the women Of Select
man Cuigley's family, who were cleaning
up their breakfastta table when the water
4 burst,in at the cellar door. Mrs. Quig.ey,
4 her two handsome, sprightly daughters
and a schoolma'am visiting them
rushed upstairs TO the second story OF
the L part in which they were, and thence
4 watched the tremendous spectacle. They
Il had hardly reached their harSorage when
Ethe front part of the house was vrenched
& off as swiftly and easily as one would
tear paper, and the floor gaped wide
beneath them with the fierce strain.
They saw the great brick mill
tremble and collapse like child's
house of blocks, and the chapel
rise and sail like boat around the point
i Just below, there strike and fall to pieces.
They saw neighbor floating past on a
roof, extended their hands from a win.
/ dow, and aided him to escape to their
refuge. What emotions they felt in that
, hour Of waiting they can never very
, clearly tell, except that they thought the
I next moment they too would go. They
did not talk very much, nor did they
| sing, and their prayers were not uttered
. aloud; II was season OF mute ex-
/ pectancy, and mot so much resig
, nation as stunned and deadened ac-
' ceptance of fate The fate, however,
! passed them by; the wave that so lightly
! tore away the heavier main portion of
E the house and dashed into splinters their
!. great barns with all the contents spared
4 their slighter structure and left them safe.

General News Summary.


A Washington special Of the 18th says Pres
ident Grant, In a recent conversation with
Judge Hoar, stated that he had requested
Secretary Richardson no less than three times
within week or two to tender his resignation,
but that the Secretary had each time begged
off on one prctext OF another.
Gen. Sherman's army headquarters are TO
be moved from Washington TO st. Louis In
October next. A Washington dispatch says
Gen. Sherman thinks there are several ad
vantages In the proposed removal, among
which Is mentioned the fact that the bulk OF
the army Is stationed west Of the Mississippi,
and In case OF an Indian war or other trouble
In that section army operations could be bet
ter directed from st. Louis than from Wash
ington.
A recent Washington Associated Press tele-
gram says: "President Grant approves OF
decorating the graves Of the Union and Con-
fedora te dead alike. He believes the time
has come when every feeling of fraternity
should be encouraged, and advantage taken
of every opportunity TO remove any remain
ing animosity occasioned by the war"
Considerable excitement has been caused In
Washington by the discovery that printed
copies OF the questions prepared for the sew
eral civil-seryice examinations have become
a matter OF merchandise, and an investigation
has been begun to ascertain the persons who
are engaged In furnishing this kind OF litera-
ture.
Gen. A. B. Dyer, Of the United States Army,
died in Washington on the 10th.

Considering the question why women
teachers are paid less than men, the
Springfield (Mass.) Union says that Pro-
fessions are paid with considerable refer
encc to the cost Of the training which Is
required to At people to exercise them.
The doctor, lawyer, minister invest in
their education an amount OF capital on
which they not unreasonably expect to
vel q fair interest In fees or salary. Ap-
Flying this rule 10 the question OF the
comparative salaries of women and men
teachers we find it goes part way at
least to Justify tire difference. AS rule
men cant get SCHOOLS unless they can
show a college faploma Women teach
ers on the,contr~ry are not required TO be
college graduates, but go at once from the
academy or comparatively inexpensive
normal schoe, to their charges. A col
lege course In these days costs from
$4,000 to $4,000. Thus at once we see
that the wren who takes to school-tesch
ing has get TO get q salary which will bt
| a return en- q much larger Investment fol
educsticn than his lady assistant or col
league,sas made"

The Gazette says: One man in De-
cature, it is said, lately killed over 50
pike under the ice or Jacks creek, and
a number of others followed in the
same business, many Of them being
quite small. 1t is singular that any
set of men who have thoughts about
them should engage in such wholesale
destruction of fish, many of them too
small to be of any value for food, and
that to at the very time when efforts
are being made to stock the interior
streams. We would blame no man for
even in this way killing a. many fair
sized pike as would make few messes,
but to destroy big and little, or for the
sake of seeing how many he could kill,
is as selfish as it is unreasonable. We
sadly need a game and Gsh association
to make examples Of those who are de-
populating our streams by unlawful net
or other fishing.
To these pike killers we commend
the following section of the act OF 1878,
under which it would prove no fun:
SECTION "a. No person shall, at any
time, catch or kIil IN any of the waters
oil this State, save Only with hook aud
line or scroll, and to person shall catch
or expose tor sale, or have III his or her
possession, after the same has been
killed, any black bass, pike or plekerel,
between the first day OF march aEi the
frs: day of June, except alive for
stocking other waters. under a penalty
of twenty FIVE dollars Tor each offence.
