National Veteran Reform AssOCia-
ton.
"VVith Charity for all with NAL
ice Toward NOne."

The National Union Veteran Re
form Association was organized in
August in indianapolis, and subse-
quently extended throughout the
country, for the purpose OF enforcing
honesty and economy in public adj
ministration, by an association OF
those who protected the country
against secession. AT the convention
subsequently held in Albany, an ex.
ecutive committee was appointed for
the purpose of perfectlng permanent
national organization, charged with
the duty of giving practical form and
expression to the views Of National
Union Veterans, who believe in cor
rect principles OF government, and
place devotion to law and submission
to the duly expressed will of the peo-
pie above partisan ties and obliga'
tions. The love for the unity OF the
country shown in the fierce conflict OF
battle, and the peaceful contest at the
polls. must still find expression in con-
tinued efforts for union and reform,
until governmental methods and sys-
tens are restored to the simplicity and
purity Of the earlier and better days
OF the Republic, The permanence OF
the Union depends upon the virtue
and manhood of its citizens and ifthey
are powerless to redeem its govern
ment from the deadly influence Of
corruption, then their heroic sacrifices
in preserving it from the holder ap-
proach of hostile bayonets will have
been in vain. 1t is proper, therefore,
that those who have borne arms in the
nations cause, when the armed inter
yention of the citizen was necessary
to its support, should not tail on pro-
per occasions to give due expression
to their opinions in favor of perfect
union and practical administrative re-
form
The n. U. V. Il. A. numbers
among its members many Of the most
distinguished generals of the late war.
The Executive Committee OF the New
York State Branch Association con-
sists of the following named gentle
men: Generals Hooker, Slocum
Sigel, "Baldy" Smith, McQuade, Nc
Mahon, and Col. Tracey. Local Or
carnations are being formed through
out the land. The work should be
carried on in the most speedy and ct
tecIiyc manner possible.
The National Association already
has a membership of 125, 1000, and the
number is increasing every day. Over
100 names have been enrolled by the
Secretary at Burlington.
Ex-Union soldiers and sailors who
approve Of the principles upon which
tins Association is formed, and who
desire to have their names enrolled as
members, are urgently requested to

Important Letter
FROM
nIe. GEORE r.. DAVIS.

Windsor, w., Aug. -, 1879.
DIR. ). w. SMYTH, Burlington, Vt.
Dear Sir-In answer to your inquiries
concerning my deafness, am happy to
say that | have very much improved since
placing myself under your care. Last
June, when | came to you, it was almost
impossible to make me hear at all. 1 had
been under the care, too, of one of the
best aurists in New York City, DR.. Ag-
new, and while his treatment of my case
was similar to yours, L experienced no
relief whatever until you took hold of my
case. The thoroughness of your treat
ment think is the secret Of your success
at least it seems so i'll my case. My
throat, which has been inhamcd for
long time, and, doubtless, was the start
ing point Of my deafness, caused by diph-
iberia some years ago, has quite passed
away, and | can hear fifty per cent, better
than when came to you in June.
Hoping you may find it to your advant-
age to return to Windor again soon, and
with kindcst regards and best wishes for
your welfare, am
Sincerely your friend,
GEO. +. DAVIS.

Restoration Of Sight.
STATEMENT OF
MR.. PETER JARVIS,
OF WINDSOR, VT.
OF WINDSOR, VT.

To THE PUBLIC
My daughter Flora has been a great
sufferer for five or six years with granu-
lated eye-lids and white spots on the
CLASSY part of the eye. Her sight was
very much impaired, and worse when she
you'd have the least cold. Last June
placed her under the care of DR.. Smyth,
who treated her case with the best re-
suits. Her sight is fully restored, and
although she had severe cold this fall,
she experienced no trouble whatever with
her eyes. Thanking DR.. Smyth for his
kind and successful treatment of my
daughters case, cheerfuly recommend
him to the public.

About l o'clock, A. NJ, last Fri
day morning, the lower r. r. wood
shed was discovered to be on fire, and
before help could be aroused the whole
mass of wood, some ten or eleven
hundred cords, was covered with
flames. The heat was so intense, that
the large piles Of dry pine lumber in
G. E. Abbotts mill yard soon caught
fire, and the destruction of the steam
mill seemed inevitable, but an hundred
men attacked the burning piles, and
soon extlnguished the fire, and moved
them to a place of safety. The en-
CINE company were promptly on hand,
though not a minute too soon, for the
heat had already blackened the clap
boards on the new barn Of Mr.. H. G.

.JUDGE PRESCOTT.

We publish this week two communica
tons from Judge Prescott, and also The
proceedings of the Judicial convention
at Ellsworth. 1t will be seen by the
latter that an opportunity was given to
those who had charges to make against
Judge Prescott to present them, which
being done, Judge Prescott met them
and clearly exposed their fimsiness and
rcfuted them, after which be was re-
nominated for District Judge.
With reference to the charges in COLI
nectiou with the Schuster estate, OF
which he was administrator, we refer
our readers to his correspondence else
where. AS to the money he now holds
as proceeds from the estate, it does not
belong to the county school fund. 1t
either belongs TO the heirs or 10 the
state. The Judge has enjoyed the en-
tire confidence Of bis fello w-ctzens in
this community since his residence here
"a period Of about eleven years. He
has always been regarded as an honest,
upright man. People in investigating
charges made against his good character
should do so in a careful manner, and
not jump to hasty conclusions. Hear
all the Judge has to say.

be competent for the executor or admin
istrator of the estate, or one OF the heirs
to file the necessary papers to complete
the same, but the entry in such cases
shall be made in favor ofthe heirs of the
deceased pre-emptor, and the patent
thereon shall cause the title to lnure tc
such heirs, as if their names had been
specially mentioned"
By this you see the land belonged tc
the heirs pcremptorily, and IN no Wise
does it or any balance from its sale &c
the school fund. By furnishing the
money and proving up | made some
$500 or more for the heirs, which other

aid said this belonged to the school fund

AB0UF Thar REPRESENTATION.

The McClintick ring has made great
blow about the unequal representation
of Saline and Mcpherson counties in the
late Senatorial convention at Lindsborg.
1t was terrible that Mcpherson county
only had Ii delegates while Saline had
Is. Last week Wednesday the conven-
ton of the 14th Judicial District was
held at Ellsworth. The counties of Sa-
line and Mcpherson, belonging to the
district, went into convention. Nc
Pherson county was represented by
Seren delegates and Saline by ten-ac-
cording to the call. Those seven dele
gates took an active part in the conven-
ton and never claimed or asked for an
equal representation with Saline. Nc
Pherson county had two delegates less
in representation than she had in the
Senatorial convention at Lindsborg.
The Mcpherson delegates did not bolt
but seemed perfectly satisfied with their
county's representation. The McClin-
tick ring does not attempt to explain
this inconsistency and cannot. What q
pure set of fellows they are !
