Attention Soldiers

There is large class of ex-volunteer officers and
soldiers principally OF the cavalry ofthe service
who after the fall of Richmond, were with their
ordered to the plains to fight Indians,
or to the Rio Grande, as army Of observation.
These men were mostly veteran volunteers, and had
enlisted for during the war" or for one two, or
three years, unless sooner discharged . by reason
Of the close of the la aiicaSes the understand
ing both on the part Of the Government and the
soldier, was that when the rebellion should have
been put down they would be discharged; but when
the Government violated It's contract with these
brave and ordered them to the plains, large
numbers of then, having served the Government
faithfully according TO the terms of their enlistment,
left for their homes, and were marked on the rolls
as deserters, thus forfeting all pay, bounty, and
other allowances, ercept pens5oa All survivors Of
this class and the heirs Of such as have died are
requested to send to this paper their full names
with rank company, regiment and post-ofice ad-
dress. BY so doing they may reap unexpected
benefit

Horses Lost in tho Service.

The law granting pay for horses lost in the
United States service, from incident to the
wa expired by limitation, December 81, 1875.
Quite number of bills have been introduced since
to extend the time within which such claims may
be fled and audited, and while there has been no
particular opposition to so just a measure, yet the
bills have failed through lack of interest on the
part of Senators and Representatives having them
in charge, and other reasons Several bills Of this
nature were introduced in the last Congress- which
expired March 4 1881, and one Of them passed the
Senate but so late in the session as to render it's
passage by the House of Representatives mpracti-
cable. There is every reason however to hope
that the bill will become law during the present
session of Congress, and all having claims of this
character should bring them before the proper
department through an experienced claims attorney
without delay, they will be taken up in the order
Of their fling. (See advertisement on last page.)

can endure everything, 90 without feed
all day and half the night, and be off on
journey on bad travelling time after
time. When they get home they put
them in an old dark pit-pen, throw in a
forkful of hay, the first they come to,
and "let them rip They never rub
or clean them, and never take any pains
to protect them from cold or dampness.
