personal property, and his disappear
arce has caused no little commotion

tended to Lyman d. Culver, Eilenboro,
and Philip Brother, Bloomington, who
were original members OF Gen Calls,

the Union loving ladies' of Lam
caster presented beautiful banner,
upon whose folds were inscribed, I'VE
are called, we have come, and we pledge
our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor" Many of those brave boys kept
that pledge with their lives, upon some
of the most closely contested and blood
lest battlefields known in the history of
the world Others in hospitals sickened,
suffered and died, while the records of
Andersonvile, whose foul domain is
now consecrated by patriot dust, bears
on its list and beneath its sod, but few
thank God Yet all too many of those
heroes, who with stout hearts, strong
arms and buoyant steps, went forth TO
battle for the nations life Fletcher S.

While crossing stream between
Bloomington and Patch Grove, Monday,
undersheriff McGonigal and W. j. Dyer
met with an accident that both will
remember The bridge had been brok
en- necessitating fording the stream,
which, with high banks and deep snow,
made an uncertain proceeding. The
descent was made all right but as soon
as the cold water was struck the horses
made dash for the other shore, bring
ing the cutter against it with such force
as to break one runner and the double
tree. Dyer was thrown over the dash
board onto his shoulder with such force
as to daze him, while McGonigal was
tipped back into the stream, getting as
ne expressed it "The coolest bath he
ever had" A buggy had TO be pro-
Cured for tho remainder of the journey,
and by the time they returned to Lam
caster, Dyer was almost laid up for
day or two from the severe shake-up be
received, while McGonigal's hands
showed the effects of being wet end
almost frozen with his gloves.
