The Susanville (Lassen county
CALI Advocate tells of strange noises
that have been heard for nearly two
weeks in the mountains west OF town.
They resemble cannonading or the
caring of distant thunder, and no
one has yet been able to account for
them.

on is mystery. But they do grow fat
with their increasing years. They are

Mexican Veterans.

Officer Holleman, of the CIarks-
vile police force, called our atten-
ton to an error which occurred in
the CHRONICLE last week. The
error was in the statement that there
are 49, 900 Mexican veterans in the
South who will receive pensions if
the bill now before the Congress for
that purpose becomes a law. We
clipped the paragraph in which it
occurred from one of our daily ex-
changes without stopping to con-
slider the accuracy of the statement.
A little thought on the subject
would have led us to see that it is
an exaggeration.
There were only seventy-nine
thousand, rank and file, of the
United States troops in Mexico, in
Guiding volunteers, regulars and
marines. OF the volunteers, A, 223
came from the Southern States, in
Guiding Maryland, District of Co
lumbIa and Missouri. Taking into
consideration that quite a number
of these soldiers were killed in the
war, and that great many of them
have died since, the inaccuracy of
the statement made last week can
be readily seen.
Officer Holleman is one of the
old Tennessee volunteers who did
such noble service i'm the war, and
we hope he will soon be drawing
the pension that he and his COM
rades ought to have been drawing
for years past.

DIR. II. M. AGREE has recently
placed in his Office new dental
chair, which is at once a thing of
beauty, and a very complete piece
of mechanism. 1t is called the
Improved WiIkerson chair, and is
the combination of one or two pat
ents that make it as near perfect as
possible. The chair is made of
walnut and crimson plush. with
metallic. appurtenanees. 1t is ex-
ceedingly neat and strikingly con-
trast with the bulky and cumber-
some chairs of the old style. But
what is really wonderful about this
piece of furniture is its mechanical
arrangement. We can't go into
minute description of all Its
workings, but will state that it can
be lowered, hoisted, turned and
shifted into any position.desired, by
a simple process, and without any
inconvenience to the person occu-
plying it. 1t can be adapted to the
size of any one, from a small child
to large man. The head rest is
something marvellous in itself. IL
you like to see a pretty piece OF
furniture or a complete piece OF

Judge w. p. Keesee died az his
home In this city Sunday morning
at 5 o'clock, aged 60 years. He had
been an invalid for three years and
his death was consequently not un-
expected. He was a native of this
county and moved to DeKalb, Mis-
sissippi, when quite young and re-
sided in that State until 1876, when
he returned to GAINESVILLE. He
studied law under N. H. Allen,
Esq, member of the GAINESVILLE
bar, and engaged for a few years In
the practice of his profession. He
at one time filed the Office of Pro-
bate Judge in DeKalb, Mississippi.
The greater portion of his life,
however, was spent in business pur-
suits, and on his return TO Clarks-
vile he went into partnership with
his brother, Mr.. B. .. Reese, in
hardware store: He was for many
years a member of the Baptist
church and a consistent Christian.
He was a kind hearted man, of ge-
NAL temperament and was much
liked and esteemed by large num-
Der of friends.
The remains were inferred in
Cemetery Monday, with
services by Dr.. A. d. Sears. The
lodges of Masons and knights of
Honor in this city, OF which organ
izatiOns the deceased was a men,
Der, accompanied the remains to
the grave aud performed their usual
rites.

DIR. j. Berien Lindsey was in
GAINESVILLE Thursday in the interest
of his book. "The Military Annals
of Tennessee" which is now ready
for publication. He met a number
of gentlemen in the library room at
the Court House and addressed
them concerning the nature of his
great work and its Importance as a
chronicle of Tennessee history. The
book will furnish a sketch of every
Tennessee regiment that served in
the Confederate army, with list of
commissioned officers and the SOL
diers who were killed and MORALLY
wounded. The articles for the book
have been prepared by soldiers from
the rank of private to that of Major
General. DIR. Lindsey very aptly
says that Tennessee played no sec
ond part in the great civil war, and
her sons were conspicuous among
those Southern soldiers who fought
for four years without pay, and of.
ten without bread, as soldiers never
fought before. Dr. Lindsey is not
able to publish the book without
first securing sufficient subscrip-
ton list, and it is for that purpose
that he is making a canvass of the
State. Polk G. Johnson, Esq, is
his agent here, authorized to solicit
and receipt for subscriptions. A
copy Of the book should be placed
IN every intelligent household in
Tennessee and we hope will be.
