A circular has just been issued from the
adjutant generals Office in the War depart
ment at Washington as follows: "There be-
ing now pending in this department great
numbers of volunteer pension claims which
cannot be satisfactorily verified for want of
information which missing records of discon-
tinued volunteer commands would afford, and
it having transpired in many instances that
officers of the late volunteer forces have still
in their possession or under their control
books and other records pertaining to their
corps, divisions, brigades, regiments and
companies, their attention is called to the
fact that all such books and records should
be deposited in this Office, and they are earn
estly requested to cause the same to be for
warded without delay to the adjutant general
of the army, at Washington. No expense,
other than postage or proper express charges
(when packages exceed four pounds, the limit
for mail parcels), can be paid by the govern
ment.

to his people in behalf of the American
Home Missionary society and a collection
was taken, amounting in cash to about $780,
This will probably be used to establish a
fund which will probably be placed at the
disposal of Mr.. Thrall's brother, to be used
in the far West in his missionary work, of
which he gave a most interesting account be-

The remains of man about so years old,
with greyish hair, closely cropped sandy
moustache and beard of few days

Tuesday evening, and the man had evidently
died peacefully, as he was lying on his back,
in bed of leaves, with one arm over his
breast, and one stretched out at his side. At
first sight he seemed to be sleeping. On the
box was tin plate on which was engraved
the words civilian Monroe, Bridgeport,

AS for my good man and myself, we

looked tor in the other world, accord
ing to the epitaph:
"Here lies poor woman, who always was tired,
For she lived in house where help was not
hired.
Her last words were Friends, fare we WELL
am going
To place where there is nothing of washing
or sewing.
Then weep not my friends, when death shall
us sever,
For I'll have a nice time doing nothing for
ever,
For everything there is exact to my wishes, .
For where they don't eat there's no washing of
dishes.
The courts with sweet music are constantly
ringing,
But having no voice shall get clear of singing
She folded her hands with her latest endeavor
And whispered, %, nothing, sweet nothing
forever"
