MIR. Garfield hoped the same fraternsl feel
ing could follow the forty manned Union
soldiers who had recently left their places
around the House. s--,,,.....r
a discussion ensued on this point, which
developed the following figures: Of one
hundred and fifty-three subordinate posi-
lions in the last House eighteen were filed
by Union soldiers; and Of eighty-hve posi-
tons in the present House twenty.six are
filled by Union soldiers. This was from the
Democratic side. The Republican side
claimed that in the House post-ofhee nine
Union soldiers were dismissed and their
places filled by Confederates.
Mr.. Garfield proceeded to discuss Inc ex'
change of prisoners, and gave detailed MS
tory of the causes OF the suspension Of the
exchange. He claimed that the central point
of the difficulty was the determination Of the
Confederate Government and people 10 ex-
clude from the common rules Of war officers
and men of negro regiments. He said the
object of the outrageous treatment OF pri'
soners at AndersonYiIle had been to make
Union soldiers SO that when exchanged theI

We are indebted to Thomas Lodge
ESQ.,, for a report of the railroad meet
ing held on Saturday evening at Cos
sett's school house. Messrs. Baggs anG
Alexander were present and addressed
the audience. There were no new de-
velopments of further interest than
what has been already noted. Mr.
Lodge has been warm friend of the
enterprise, and we have assurance thai
he is capable of givinga correct view o
the situation. He states that with very
little extra contribution along the line
the matter will be reduced to a Ger.
tainty and the work in progress ere
long.
We had the pleasure ofattending the
Sabbath School held at Crab Apple
Church, under the supervision of Mr..
Henderson Hays and Mr.. David Lyle,
1t numbered 110 members, and seemed
to be in a prosperous condition. There
was quite an active corps of tenchers
whose names we did not learn.
PERsoNAL.-Mr. VIM. III. Denny.
formerly of the Uniontown Mills, is
nov employed as foreman of the Eureka
FIGURING Mills at Dennison, Ohio, on a
good salary. Mr.. Denny has rs a
miller first class reputation.
Miss Matte Estep who has been at
tending school at Hopedale, Ohio, has
returned home and is quite i'll.
We omitted mention the name of
Mr.. George A. Mckee in giving the
names Of the gentlemen who got up the
fishing party, on Saturday week. To
his efforts in connection with those of
the other gentlemen already referred to
the success of the party is due.
