The New York Herald of recent date
says:
A brave pensioner Of Searsport lived I'M
married and was considered woman Halter
until he was tifty-six years Of age, when
GOlHrdue uleu, anu since InaC blue ue has
made his home with the widow.
Another Searsport Grand Army man, a
friend OF the deceased and also friend Of
the man who consoles the widow, learning
that veterans We're in great demand in the
matrimonial market, advertised for wife in
New York paper, stating his age and the
amount of his pension. The advertisement
ran one week. The day after the paper was
Issued he received fourteen letters, over half
OF which came from New England. At the
end of two weeks he had been accepted by
nearly two hundred women and had receiv-
ed personal visits from SIX, one of whom
came all the way from Philadelphia. When
he learned that women were making a per-
sonal canvass for soldier husbands-an idea
that was new to him-he packed up his
yalise and made prutracted visit to Ban
gOr.
We are at loss where to locate these
parties.
