An Incident of Gettysburgh.

Washington correspondent of the Boston transcript

General Barlow of New York, commander of the first
division, fell dangerously, and it thought mortay,
wounded. He was shot directly through the body. Two

do good save yourself if you can Gordon's
brigade of Georgians in it's wild charge swept him,
and he found by General Gordon himself lying with
upurned face in the hot July nearly parayzed and
apparently dying General Gordon dsmounted from his
horse gave him drink of water from his canteen, and
inquired of General Barlow his and wishes. Cen

Gordon, and he did. Then directing General Barlow to

How much of beauty and pathos and patriotism,

Government would have prevented the breaking up of
many pleasant home.
Here in Colorado, many OF that class whoare
and always have been justly entitled to receive pensions,
but who under the dscouragng surrounding OF an app
cation, could not undertake it.
s'Some who did undertake it, after the five years mita
ton act had expired gave up the effort in despair and

disease contracted in the army in the line OF duya bur
