SOLDIERS CLAIMS.

The people are beginning to consider
what is due TO the men who fought our
battles for us and saved the nation.
Under the anspicies of the Grand Army
of the Republic there is a petition in cir
culn!ion Of this kind:
Whereas, the Government OF the United
States failed to pay the men who fought,
in '6l IN gold or Ils equivalent, recording
TO agreement. bat paid them in currency
deprecated more than one half IN value,
and
Whereas, the bounty and pension acts
have restrictions which prevent a large
number of the aforesaid soldiers from any
benefit lherefrom,
Therefore, We. the citizens Of the United
States, earnestly petition Congress to enact
law to put each OF the aforesaid Soldiers
who received M honorable discharge from
the union army on the retired list, with
half pay. wit, eight dollars per monil,
and also that your honorable body viii 30
amend the bounty act as TO give these
Soldiers each land wnrrant and war
rantee of q hundred and sixty acres of
government land deed, free from all in
cumbrance.
We think yonr petitioners cannot he
charged with asking too much since we
merely ask ior the payment OF an amount
which the government promi'ed 10 induce
men to volunteer. The payment of debt
which justice M well M gratitude and
honor demand.
Your peiilioners'are the more earnest IN
the above plea since the ilus'rious leader
and many of the brave men who fought
under his command have passed away.
! Let The survivors receive these tokens oi
justice, from country their sacrifices aud
val0r saved,
Let OHIO, that sent 105 900 men to the
front, circulate the above or similar
petition and let Congress see that the peo-
pie are in earnest. Nj.

FADING AWAY.
BY MABEL Z. HASTINGS.

Over the naples the shadows,
Are slowly deepening down!
Over the hills and the meadows
Is resting n radiant crown;
Over the hills and the lowlands,
Over the trees lofty sway,
Over them written in garlands;
We slowly are fading away!''
Over the hillside Is creeping
The dreamicst golden in hue;
Over the lowlands there sleeping
Appeareth the golden" in view;
Down over the hazel brush thicket,
You see, too, the rich russet ray;
You hear in the hum OF the cricket,
1.-THE Summer is passing away"
Over the woodlands deep MOSES,
Over the ferns glossy head;
And see how the thistle down tosses
Over the landscapes wide spread.
Over the maize in ripe splendOr,
A mantle of rare golden ray;
And over the vines still SO tender
Is written, Were fading away"
Over the summer days swectly
Cometh dreaming OF rest;
Over all nature completely,
Fall weaveth glorious crest;
Down low DER the suns sultry glowing
Softning the suns lurrid ray:
Shorter the days, too, are growing
Summer is fading away"
Gladly we hail the sweet coming,
OF Autman in rich guarnents rare;
We listen enrnpt to the humming
OF crickets and bees everywhere.
Over there low down in the grasses
Hidden far from the suns beaming ray
Gladly we list as time passes
For Summer is passing away"

Since man ceased to roam ms a naked,

lation took place. Ard there il no doubt

of equality. The perveision of this true
principle has been the source of the evils

Our Lewis County letter.

WEsToN, Aug. Weare now hav-
ing much rain fall and cooler weather,
which adds greatly to the comfort
and general health of inmates of
asylum. The very warm spell had a
marked bad effect upon the spirits as
well as health of many, resulting in
much sickness, which the change is
greatly improving. We have had two
deaths of lady patients this week,
both being aged; one from Barbour
county, and the other from Braxton
county. They viii be inferred in
asylum cemetery. The general health
of inmates is fairly good at this time
and many indicating signs of return
to sanity, which we hope will be per-
manent- The great difficulty in near
ly all cases is that they become recur-
rant, every prospect of full return of
mind and reason will frequently be
dispelled within day or two, and
patient to-day in fair condition may
tomorrow be raving maniac or in a
low depressed condition, from which
case it seems hard to arouse them.
The physicians are constant in atten-
ton to all, making particular exam
nation of each as they come in con
tact with them. / am sure, from OBJ
servation, that those having charge of
this institution cannot be surpassed
for care and attention as well as deep
personal sympathy With the afflicted,
and the use of every legitimate means
at their disposal or control for the
benefit of all inmates of the asylum.
suppose your drought has been
relieved by rain since my return from
home, and ] hope the crop outlook
has been improved. Here and through
out this region we have an exception
al good crop of corn, fair crop of oats,
light grass and fair prospect for buck
wheat. Vegetables of all kinds are
plentiful and in full supply for use of
inmates, Berry crop has been light
and not many brought in. Last sea
son the crop was large Of all kinds
straw, rasp and black berries furn-
ished in large quantities were much
appreciated by inmates. Butter sup
ply for asylum has been getting lin
tied, owing to scarcity Of pasture,
but since the late refreshing showers
starting grass will give us ample sup
plies.
The Board of Directors at their
meeting in July arranged for re-
draft, specifications and dimensions
of new asylum building to be erected
here, and advertise for bids accord
ingly to be presented for examination
before them on the 21st, at which
time the contract will be awarded.
The building will be 200 feet long,
three stories in height, brick material.
/ would specially call the attention of
your mechanics to this subject, and
would be pleased to have some one
from your section of the State sub
nit proposition for contract. There
is money in the business, and from
former failures of securing bids, I
think an opportunity is afforded of
securing the contract to any one max
ing fair and valid bid according to
specifications, copies of which can be
procured by application to Supt. DR..
