The Lewistown Gazette OF last week pub
lished the following: Between one and two
O'Clock Sunday morning two persons enter
ed by the back window the Lutheran par
sonage, occupied by Rev. C. W. Heisler,
and going down into hecellar took nearly
a whole ham. all their bread, a roll of butter
and some fruit. Then they came up and
took three coats and an oyer-cOat, hat and
pair of shoes of Mr.. Heisler's, and some
silver ware, and then went up stairs and
into Mr.Bingham's room, brother of Mrs.
Heisler. from Iowa, who Just came on sat
urday last on his way to the General snyod,
which meets this week at Harrisburg and
had stopped of 10 see his sister. There
they took all his clothing splended new
suit, hat, pants, coat, vest, fine shirt, shoes,
and the money he had in his pockets was
all taken. He had draft on a New YORK
bank for some forty dollars which was also
taken but it could not do the thieves any
good as he had not endorsed it. Mr.. Bing
ham was awakened by the time they had ta-
what they wanted by seeing light in his
room and thinking it was Mr.. Heisler asked
him wha, he wanted. Then the fellow left
in a hurry. Mr.. Heisler was called and im-
mediately arose and after exploring the
premises the neighbors were aroused and
pursuit instituted. The thieves were track

pension.

There has been no statute law en-
acted providing that a soldier accepted
into the United States military service
should not be required to show his prior
soundness in prosecuting claim for a
pension. Separate bills have passed
each house of congress declaring that
soldiers acceptance into the service
should be primd tdcie evidence of
soundness, but as the same bill did not
pass both the senate and house of rep
resentatives no law was made. The
secretary of the interior, Hon. H. NJ.
Teller, the day before he retired from
the department of the interior, rem
dered decision which ought to be ac-
cepted as law on this subject. This
decision was rendered in the case of
Daniel c. Ashly of Foxboro, Mass,
whose claim had been rejected on the
ground that the soldier was discharged
for disease that existed prior to enlist
ment, as appeared by a surgeons GER
tiicate. Secretary Teller, in his opinion,
said: " | have found, in other cases,
that your Office 1.-THE pension Office was
disposed to treat a surgeons certificate
as entitled to great weight. do not
so consider this class of evidence. 1t
is not of high order and ought not to
be allowed alone to rebut the presump-
ton of soundness raised by the enlist
ment of the soldier. IT is not a record
that of itself imparts verify, and is
made without the approval of the dis
charged soldier. Itcan have no greater
weight than that of an affidavit and, in

Stray Shots.

JAMEsnP. CURRAN, Esq, a special
examiner of the pension Office, has been
off duty for the last two weeks on ac-
count of sickness.
LIEUTENANT JOIN s. DRENAN has
decided not to accept the Office of COM
mander of the Union Veteran Army,
Department of Vermont, on account of
i'll health, not considering himself sufli-
GENTLY strong to perform the duties of
such an office in addition to the de-
mands,of his private business.
NATHANIEL ROBINSON of Marsh
field who died very suddenly week be-
fore last, was drawing pension for
wound in the right hand. The wound
had always been very troublesome for
one that appeared so slight. The hand
was examined by surgeons after his
death and a mimic ball removed from
near his knuckles that had remained
there since the early part of the war.
Had the presence of the ball been
known, it might have been removed,
and great benefit and relief given the
sufferer.
THREE dependent mothers in Yer
mont have been granted pensions, each
of whom furnished seven sons for the
army. Esther Shontell of Mortified is
one of them, and the father is also liv-
ing with her. Her sons were all very
tall, two of them being six feet eight
inches in height. The united height of
her seven sons was forty-three feet
eight inches. A dependent mother in
the state of Iowa was granted a pen
sion, by a special act of congress, who
had furnished eleven sons for soldiers
in the rebellion. Such mothers ought
tohave more than eight dollars month
pension.

most cases, will be found not to be en-
titled to so much weight as that of
sworn witness. No general rule can
be laid down as to the weight to be
given to statements that are made by
the surgeon as to the origin of the dis
ease for which the soldier is discharged.
In this case, there being no evidence
that the claimant was unsound at the
time of enlistment, save that of the sur
geon, as given at his discharge, and the
improbability of the surgeon having ac-
curate and reliable information as to
the existence of the disease prior to en-
listment, and the long service of the
claimant, am of the opinion that the
presumption of prior soundness was
not rebutted by such statement. \
| wish, in this case, to lay down as a
general rule for the government of the
pension Office in matters of the kind:
First, that there must be presumption
of soundness at the time of enlistment
that can only be disposed of by evil
dence on the part of the government;
secondly, that the statement made by
the discharging surgeon is not a record,
but is the very lowest class of evidence,
and its value must be determined by
the opportunity Of the surgeon and the
nature and character of the disease
which he certifes to-"

For warfare oft my first is made,
For combat far or near,
For sports beneath the sylvan shade,
For hunting of the deer.

With anxious cares perpleXed,
Amid the wild connection
Longs to behold my next.

When beauty to the victor gave
The crown he longed to wear,
Knights in the lists did often strive
For me; the bravest knights alive.

Is One-Tenth Enough !

Bishop Penick, while off Cape Pal
mas, Africa, wrote to an inquiring friend
on the grace and duty of giving, thus:
" You want to know what | think of
one-tenth as constituting the amount a
Christian is required to give? | answer,
the question is raised by those who are
holding back when they should be press
ing forward; those who want to know
how little they must do, instead of how
much they may do; and any spirit that
seeks such exemption from the fullest
service of the Lord, instead of the full
est participation in all his plans, works,
purposes and joys, is passing away from
Jesus instead of deeper and deeper into
the unsearchable riches of his love. |
confess it is matter incomprehensibl
to me how Christians with the New
Testament open before them cantor
one mOment-go back to the system of
One-tenth. For the kingdom of heaven
is set forth in the parable of the talents
and the pounds. Did the Lord require
one-tenth when he came back Oh,
no! principal and interest brought forth
the Well-dOne, good and faithful SER
want; thou hast been faithful over few
things, | will make thee ruler over
many things; enter thou into the Joy of
thy Lord Yes, good as well as
faithful; the heart-work and Joy of par
ticipation, as well as the hand-work of
material increase. Would the widows
mite ever have resounded through
lost and ransomed world if it had only
been one-tenth? Would Jesus have
ever said, Having food and raiment,
Herewith be content if he intended
they should lavish nine-tenths of trust
fund on themselves? Again, Thy
will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Do you think any spiritin our Fathers
house up there would be chained to
one-tenth? No, no; the whole idea is a
terrible misconception of the very
character of a Christian and of God.
God loveth "A cheerful giver,' not reg
ular taxpayer, 1t is "A sad mistake to
imagine for one instant that it is the
amount of money God is after; no, it is
the loving cooperation of his children's
spirits with his that is the joy of giving
with him. | want to be here as near as
possible what | strive to be in heaven.
/ want no metes and bounds placed
between me and my Fathers and MY
Savior's love, but to pray for grace to
manifest to the fullest my grateful love-
lay my life-and no one-tenth--at the
cross of my Lord, and count all but loss
for his overwhelming love for me. ~

Popular Poisoning.

Every day the libraries are dissemin-
ating, throughout the length and breadth
of the land, literature which cannot fail
to injure its readers, perhaps not for
life only, but for eternity. Go where
you will, the evidence of the evil is
only too apparent; from the Grand
boy who fingers on his way to devour
some penny-worth of trashy reading,
and the factory girl enviously following
the story of fashionable tragedy and
shame, to the government office clerk
with his novel on his desk where his
work ought to be, and the languid but
terhy of society absorbed with the fic-
ton of the boudoir, high and low, vul-
gar and refined, this poison of bad story

Lamb of God. all pure and spotless,
Thou didst die our souls to win
Pouring out thy soul in anguish,
willing offering for our sin.
Thou didst pass through Deaths dark portals,
Thou didst slumber in the grave,
That, in thee, we sinful mortals
Life, eternal life, might have.
Now our souls to thee we offer,
By thy sacrifice set free;
Take and make them thine forever,
Saved and sanctihed for thee.
Thy triumphant resurrection
Rescues us from death and hell;
Pledges us thy sure protection,
Till we rise with thee to dwell.
Now. in heaven our nature wearing,
Thou dost bear us on thy heart.
Then. thy perfect image sharing,
We shall see thee as thouart;
And with countless saints and angels,
white-robed, in that holy throng,
We our jubiant hosannahs

Questions Answered.

j. NJ. N, RANDOLPH.-Neither the
guardian nor the minor children of
deceased soldier are required to reside
upon the homestead, but the same
must be cultivated and improved for
the period Of time during which the
father would have been required to re-
side upon it.
w. H., ADMINISTRATION are
granted for rank actually held at the
time the disability originated. Suisse
quent promotion does not entitle pen
sioner to pension for that rank. You
were probably an enlisted man when
you received your wound. hence you
can be pensioned only as such, and not
as a lieutenant
G.. w. H., GREENSBORO are
two reasons why the Washington claim
agents are not advertising for business
in eastern newspapers, as heretofore:
First, they have been exposed, and SOL
diers have learned that Washington
claim agents do not perform all they
advertise they can do Second, large
number of the claim agents who adver-
tised extensively for business have been
prohibited from prosecuting claims be-
fore the pension office.
Mrs. O. w. c., PoTsDAM, n. Y.-If
the wound for which your husband
was pensioned in any way caused his
death, you would be entitled to a pen
sion as his widow. He becoming para
lyzed in the side that was wounded
might have been caused by the wound.
The physician who attended him in his
last illness should be consulted, and if
he is of the opinion that the wound
might have caused the death of your
husband, you should apply for pen
sion.
ANSWERS to several correspondents
are necessarily deferred until next week.
