ARcIic OF the War OF 1872.

Since the passage OF the Pension Bill
il has become matter OF Interest TO
learn who among the brave men OF the
war of 1872 are still in the land OF the
living. a reporter OF the REGISTER had
a conversation yesterday with one OF
them, Mr.. William Coen, gentleman
residing with his grandson, Thomas
Bickerton, on Boggs' Run, near this city.
MIR. Coen Is in his ssh year, and while
he feels he is fast travelling to meet the
partner of his joys ard sorrows, who was
laid 10 the grave mary years ago, yet rs
he recounts the services he has rendered
his country in the hour OF her need, his
eye hts up with some OF the fire which
distinguished his youth, and he almost
lives his boy ood days over again.
The declaration of war between our
own and the mother country found Mr,
Coen, a young man of twenty-one years.
Almost at the first tap OF the drum he
repaired to the Office IN this city where
Lieut.. Russell Harrison, nephew OF
General, afterwards President Harrison,
was enrolling recruits, and placed his
name upon the roll OF honor. lie Wa; AS
signed to Capt. Thomas z. Moore's com.
psny OF Clsrksburg, w. Va, and attach
ed to the 18th U. S. Regiment, Col. Robert
Nichols, OF Ky, commanding. Alter
being stationed for short time at Clarks-
burg and Winchester, Va, and Sacketts
Hsrbor n. Y, he with his regiment was
sent to reinforce Gen. Scott IN Canada.
After participating in several minor en-
gsgements his regiment was transferred
10 the army at New Orleans, in which
battle he Lobly performed The duties
assigned him. Peace at length came to
our troubled land, the soldiers were dis.
charged, and Mr.. Coen became his OWE
man again al Pass Christian, 60 miles
below New Orleans. 1t must be recol.
Jected that this was GO years ago, when
there were no railroads and but very few
s cam boats or even stage coaches. Moth
ing discouraged he started for Wheeling
and footed it the whole way. The
monotony OF the long journey was re.
lieved by the kindness he received At the
Indian settlements along the route.
Days and years rolled by. Wheeling
had grown from q village with no man
uiactures, to large city filled with
workshops and factories OF nearly every
kind. Again the tocsln of war sounded;
this time not against q foreign foe, but
for war OF brother against brother.
Now nearly seventy years OF age, Mr..
Coen could not march TO battle, bu. AS
soon as call was made for Home Guards
he claimed the privilege Of carrying gun
in defense Of his country's honor, ard
was accepted IS a member. lie faith
fully fulfilled every duty, and not until
ordered by his superior officer did no lay
down that gun it had always been his
pleasure to carry.
His life work is almost done. The in
frmites of age are fastening themselves
surely and steadily upon him, and he too
before long will be summoned to appear
at the general roll-call, where we trust
he will receive reward commensurate
with his services.

Seibke's friends assembled at his resi.
dence on Sixteenth street, above Eofi

OF what was going on at home. Shortly
after the company bad assembled Christ

that he was wanted at home immediate.
". But few moments after he
had received the word he
was at home, where he expected to find
some one OF his family seriously Ill, but

Yesterday at one o'clock granger dele
gates from Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel and
Tyler counties, this State, Washington
and Green counties, Penn, and Jen'
erson county, Ohio, met at this hotel Tor
the purpose of thoroughly organizing.
From what we could ascertain, their OBJ
iect 10 banding together, Is the establish
ment OF supply and produce house IN
this city. Owing TO the fact that the
grsngers are q secret society, 1t Is hard
for US to definitely ascertain the work
ings of the order or their full intentionsi
one thing we do know, however, that II
is their intention to endesvor TO appoint
their own agents in this city, to buy and
sell for them, or in other words, they eX-
pecL 10 sell their produce directly to the
consumer through their agents, and to
have said agents to purchase
all farm supplies to direct
from the manufacturers at their head.
quarters. The Changers are moving
slowly, bu: surely along. AID have fully
decided to know what they can do before
riskiny their money. They are tired OF
the profits of middle men, and well they
may be, for this class of tradesmen
greatly impose upon both the producer
and consumer. The following committee
was appointed to prepare constitution
and bylaws, to be submitted at the next
meeting: The committee are j. &. Faris,
of Ohio county, West Vsr and I. j.
McCleary, of Washington county, Pa.
The meeting then adjourned to meet at
the same place on May 22d.

An Eye-Sore 10 EYcrxoue.

Probably. with all due respect, there
is not. in all the city, mere disgusting
mudhole than that in the middle of Eoi
street, at the intersection of Fourteenth.
This mud-hole WAS small about one yesr
ago, but like children, it has ou,grown
itself and is at present q full fedged st-
fair. aud it is the largest and
most disagreeable eye-sore in our city,
aud 1t is on one OF our most prominent
streets. 1t is q great pity that Cour Gil
does not do something with it. Il should
either be repaired or condemned; snd In
the lstter case, there should be notice
posted in the center of the mud-hole,
warning tesmsters to beware. If any of
the children who attend the schools in
the immediate neighborhood OF this place
should at any time be missed by their
parents, We would direct them to this
plsce-still, it is one of our most fire.
