Another Victim of the war.-Mr


Levi Roth, who was member of the 135;h
Penn. Volunteers, has had two amputa-
tions of the right leg performed within two
weeks. He was taken down will, small
pox in the Mcclellan Campaign, in 1862,
and sent to the hospital. The first day af-
ter he was sent to his regiment and report
ed for duty he was put on picket and soak
ed with drenching rain. From the ef-
fects of this he had relapse and cold set
tied in the riglt leg and he has suffered in
tense pain for several years past The first
amputalion was performed about two
weeks ago, by Dr's. Rheinfrank and
Forbes, when the entire bone from the an
kle to three or four inches above the knee
was found to be honeycombed and decayed.
The first amputation did not reach the
sonnd bone, but the patient was so exhaust
ed by the operation that it was postponed
until Wednesday when the second ampu-
tation took place and Mr.. Roth ia doing
as we'll as could be expected under his
pro,racted sufferings.

Another Bridge wanted.-The peo.


Pile on both sides of the river at the upper
portion of Toledo, and especially the farm
era on the Wood county side, are agitating
the question OF another bridge to span
the river at or near the water works, the
expense Of same to be met by the two coun-
ties. 1t is claimed and instances are cited
in the Toledo papers, that it is not an un.
common thing for farmers on the Wood
county side TO be detained two or three
hours at some OF the numerous railroads TO
be crossed before Il ey can reach Cherry
street bridge and the city. While delays
are dangerous it would be fatal to attempt
to expidite matters with the numerous
switching and moving trains on the rail
roads The necessity for bridge at this
point is conceded, and ms it is only qnes-
lion of time when it will be constructed,
it wonld seem to us that it would be just
as well to build it now as at future date.

What it Costs.

\ gentleman was walking in Regents
Park, in London he met n man whose
only home was in the poor-house! He
had come out TO take the air and excl
ted the gentleman's interested attention,
swell, my FRIEND" said the gentle
man, "lTs a pity that man like you
should be situated where you are. Now
may / ask how old YOU are?n
The man said he was eighty years oil
age.
Had you trade before you became
pennilessY''
Yes, l was carpenter"
"Did you use intoxicating drink ?''
'.No, oh, no; l only took my beer
never anything stronger; nothing but
my beer"
allow much did your beer come to a
day =
sob, a siXpence a day, l suppose
"FOr how long q timer"
"Well, l suppose Tor sixty years"
The gentleman had taken ont his
note book, and he continued figuring
with his pencil while he went on talk
ing with the man.
''Now let me tell you," said he, as be
finished his calculations, how much
that beer cost you, my man." And the
gentleman demonstrated that the money,
a sixpence q day for sixty years, ex-
pended in beer, would, il il had been
saved and placed al interest, have yield
Ell him nearly eight hundred dollars a
J ear, or al income of fifteen dollars a
week for self-suppOrt.

Mutilated Silver.

Gen. Edwards, the Assistant
United States Treasurer at St
Louis. in speaking OF mutilated
silver said:
The department at Washington
is becoming more exacting in hand
ling silver every day. We must ex-
ercise the greatest care in receiving
coin, and have 8 man in our employ
who does nothing but sort and pick
out those pieces which are defGced
in the slightest manner. Money
that would pass current in trade
we often, and in fact invariably, re-
ject." Some time ago the various
bankers of st. Louis that brought
coin To the sub-tressury complained
loudly and criticised me quite
severely for being too exacting.
They claimed that, in sorting. | re
jected coin which, under no circum-
stances, would be placed under the
head OF defaced. | superintendent
the sorting 100000 in silver pieces
very carefully and then sent it on
to the national treasury. The men
vino thought | was exacting were
surpri6ed when they ascertained
that $50 OF the sum forwarded was
sent back to me as mutllated coin.
Come with me-" he continued, as be
arose from his seat and led the way
into the business de pa rtment of the
sub treasury, ''and l Will show you
what tue government considers mu
tItated COIN" He walked up to the
desk presided over by young man
who had a large pile of bali dollars,
quarters, teh-cent pieces and dollars
IN front of him, which he picked up,
one after another, and inspected |
very carefully. Each individual
piece had 10 go through the routine
and be Judged according TO a well !
rule. He continued this
operation until he finally struck a |
hslidollar which had q slight |
scratch on it, hardly noticeable, ex
tending across the goddess OF lib |
erty. As he picked up this coin |
and tossed 1t into corner with . |
o. other coins, Gen. Ed
wards, who was watching his move
ments, turned to the reporter and
said: There is one of the bad ones
which scarcely one man in q thous-
and would think could fail TO pass
muster any place; yet the treasury
would never receive it under any
circumstances as anything else than
bullion"

Prof. King, accompanied by one
of the employees of the signal service
at Washington, went up in balloon
from Chicago last week and nothing
has been heard from them since.
Some suppose the news is delayed
as an advertisement for the firm who
sent up the bolloOn, but by many
great anxiety is felt for the aeron-
aughts. The opinion is pretty
general that the balloon has met a
disaster. Mrs King is said to have
gone east because annoyed by the
visits of newspaper men and by the
cries of newsboys about the lost
balloon. She has the utmost conf
dence in her husband and believes
that he is in the forests of Wiscon-
sin, Northern Michigan, Minnesota
or Dakota. The chief cause of
is the fact that the balloon
took only "a hours supplies.
