A HORSE raised In Norwich, but used for fam
lily purposes in Manchester, New Hampshire, for
several years, was recently sold to party In Or
ford, New Hampshire. In taking him from the
wagon one evening he slipped away from his
owner and disappeared, going at a high rate of
speed. diligent search in the morning on all
roads for circuit Of several miles failed to re-
veal any trace of the animal, but by means Of
the telegraph 1t was ascertained that he was at
his old home In Norwich where he arrived about
three o'clock in the morning, having in six hours
crossed the Connecticut Riyera and travelled twenty
seven miles In the darkness over a road he had
not seen since he was three old colt. To
make this distance in the time mentioned he must
have avoided all crossroads and without delay
gone by the regular route.

paid in pensions, from the first, $500, 100000,
of which ss0,00O,000 was before the rebel
lion. There are now living over 5000 pen
sioners of the war of 1912 and about five
thousand of those who served in the Mex
lean war. The total number of the surviv-
ors of the last named war is estimated at
$4,000 or 10000. The Union survivors of
the war of the rebellion are estimated at
100000 to 100000. There were about
26S,0OO pensioners on the roll July LIST, and
there are 270, 900 applications on file, of which
about two-thirds will probably be granted.
