This elegant strQctureisnow complete.
In beauty Of design it surpasses any
thing Of it's kind in the State Con-
structed of brick and dark marble it is
as permanent as it is charming. The
English architects have adorned it, in
subdued colors, which please without

edgement of the distinction they con-
ferred upon him in taking his name,

present year to the number of $50, as follows:
Invslids. 29S; widows, 2S7 Mothers l46; fathers,

allowed, 257 have been to invalid soldiers; pa,
widows; 100, mothers; l3 fathers; 4, sisters, and
49, guardians of orphan children and adults
amounting to the sum of So, $4,000. 1t is thought
the total number of claims will not exceed 800 at
close of the year, and the total amount expended
between twenty three or four thousand dollars. A
larger number of new cases have been received
this year than for several years, owing to the hard
times and the fact that many Of the applicants are
growing old, and that the disabilities from disease
and wounds increase rather than diminish with
added wears. There is no doubt that the small
amount expended annually among so many OF our
deserving soldiers, and the widows and dependent
mothers and fathers, and to the wards of those
who fell in our holy cause, saves great deal Of
suffering.
