once in awhile In this work-a-day world you learn
OF an actthat In purest chivary would do honor to
the nobest knight who ever lived in the dead days
Of romance and beauty. II Ia such deed AZ this /
that wish all the world might know. Nearly two |

one Of the New York regiments OF infantry for |
nearly four years during the late war wrote to
prominent virginan to say that he, the writer, |
was entitled to pension from the United States |
Government because OF two wounds received in |
action on virginia soil; that he was comfortable in
fortune without II and that he desired to transfer his
pension to some wounded ex-Confederatc soldier
whose circumstances were not so fortunate az his
own. The matter came 10 the knowledge OF Gen.
stith Boiling, OF Petersburg. Va, a prominent ex-
Confederate oficer, who recommended suitable
person, and the pension has accordingly been
transferred.
Gen. Boiling gives in substance the following
history OF the matters "Somc time in December last

ex-Unon of1cer living at watertown, N V, desired
that the pension which had Just been granted him
should he bestowed upon some ex.Confederate
whose wounds made II impossible for him to undergo
the hardshps and labor Of a well man. suggested

person who met the requirements. and the pension
