1t is not generally known, perhaps,
that we have one of Lord Wellington's
"old veterans" in our county. He is
an Englishman, named Thos. Burten-
shaw, ana has resided on his farm
near Cannonsburg tor the last thirty
five or forty years. He was engaged
in the memorable battle Of Waterloo,
in the division Of Lord Picton; was
wounded once or twice during the en-
gagment. He is still an active. robust

pattle. Nothing pleases him more
