A Letter from Mrs. Eliza Garfield !


On Wednesday of last week Mrs Hannah
Butler died at Buxton, in her Goth year. A few
days before her death she sent letter OF SYM
pathy to Mrs. Eliza Garfield, with minia-
ture quilt of the log cabin pattern. She said
she had thought to take black and white for
the squares, but she thought of the scripture,
"When bring cloud over the earth, my bow
shall be seen in the cloud" and so she took
colors, though she modestly says she would not
compare her work with the rainbow.
A few days after Mrs Butler S death the fol-
lowing letter was received by her son in Bos-
ton from Mrs. Garfield.
SoLoN October %
MY DEAR Mrs. BUTLER-I received your
yery good letter of coincidence, and also the log
cabin block. 1t is very nice, | could not do
such nice work any way. thank you very
much for your remembrance of mein my hea-
w affection. I would write a long letter, but
can't collect my thoughts to write. Many
thanks. Yours sincerely,
ELIZA BALLOU GARFIELD.

The Ninth Massachusetts Regiment.

Mr. G. T. Barker of Lewiston, agent of the
Bates Mills, who was ia Richmond at the time
the Ninth Massachusetts regiment was there
says it is no use to attempt to whitewash their
actions, because they were simply scandalous;
some of the men of the Ninth captured horses
as soon as they arrived in the city, and gallop-
ed through the town defying the police; they
insulted women grossly in public, and in some
instances went so far as to tear clothing from
young women on the street they were evident
ly drunk and disgrace to their name and
State. Mr.. Barker says some of the Massa-
chusetts people in his party were SO mortified
that they expressed a dislike to register from
Massachusetts, at the hotels.
