says an officer. in the United States
service, young graduate from West
Polut was sent to the West and de-
tailed for special duty with n squad of
indian scouts. So long as he was with
his party he, of course, was able to
Keep his bearings, but one day, return
ing from an expedition into the mount
nlns, the party stopped for dinner, and.
after dining, he directed the Indians to
go on to the post, while he would fol-
low an hour or two later. Net ac-
customed to the mountains, he lost his
way. The Indians came to the post
without him and reported that he had
not ovcrtallen them, but as thcy were
directed to GO on they obeycd orders
and did not return to search for him.
DAY or two passed, and as no news
came OF the missing officer, his friends,
who esteemed him highly, sent out the
INDIANS to trace him up and find him.
Ihcy followed his trail for two hun
dred miles and repeatedly had news of
him, as he was seen by miners and
prospectors, but could get no informa-
tlon from them as to the direction he
had taken, as he was supposed to be a
descrtcr from the army, and no one
would aid the soldiers to run him down.
lie was found ut last, after over q
weeks wandering, almost dead and out
OF his head with hunger, thirst and cx-
posurc, all of which he owe, to the gen
eral sympathy for dcscrters, for had the
civilians aided the scouts he might have
been overtalScn in few hours.

Several local carpenters go from here
each day to the Warwick Asylum for the
Poor, TO work at their trade. Important
changes are being made on the house,
which will double its size The addition
is on the rear, in the shape of a two and
half story wing of 3Ox4O feet, with hip
roof In the addition will be twenty
sleeping rooms, kitchen and laundry
and other apartments. For reasons of
sentiment only need any person dread
being an inmate Of the Warwick Poor
house. Probably a more nearly perfect
establishment does not exist in any State
to-day. The inmates have each room,
which is heated with steam and well fur
nished. Those who are helpless or i'll, are
in very large, airy room, with southern
exposure. The men have been lodged at
smaller house on the farm, but the new
addition will give quarters to all. There
are at this institution some very pitiful
old people, as well as some very unique
ones One old man, who looks like any
thing but person who would desire COM
miseration is Valentine" commonly
known as Volly, who was born sixty
the place Of his birth being the Warwick
Asylum, so that his life of nearly three
score and ten has known no other scenes
but such as pauper may realize. He has
propensity for breaking window lights,
and he requires nothing but his fists for
the act of shattering them. There were
an old couple here awhile since, whose
history would cause the hardest heart to
ache. The man was between so and 80,
and had been contractor and builder,
who put up some of the largest factory
buildings. hereabouts, Through his gen
erous nature he helped others, till his
own comfortable fortune suddenly be-
came enguifed in another's financial
downfall. Then his health left him,
and, deserted by both these necessary
adjuncts to living, the poor old
couple took their aching hearts to the
poor house. Some one with whom they
were connected by the ties of kinship,
offered the cold comforts of a home TO the
old lady, but she said, when her husband
urged her acceptance, Husband, we have
stood by each other fifty years, we will
not be parted now" They were not, till
one cold day, when the snow lay piled in
drifts. they carried the old man out, and
the old lady sat in her room alone. IL was
not long separation, because she simply
grieved her life away.
On Monday when the NEWS reporter
was at the asylum an old lady, who once
was a cherished wife, and loving mother,
sat sewing strips for braided rag mat,
with oh, such sad, and thoughtful face.

cause it keeps me from thinking of otheg.

There could be no kinder friends to the
inmates than Mr.. and Mrs. Slocum. the
superintendent and his wife. To every in
mate they give their personal attention,
and see that every want and reasonable
fancy is answered.
