the battle of Sailors Creek.
After his honorable discharge June 4, 1865,
Mr.. Scace returned to Albany and settled
down once again to his business and social in.

and happiness would have been uninterrupted.
Such was not to be the case for four years
ago, while engaged in experimenting the rails

Electric power house, the lever of loosened
wndlass struck him heavy blow across the
back. The effect of the blow was not at first
apparent, he being able TO leave his bed in a
few days. But the worst was to follow, for
without warning he was seized with sciatic
rheumatism in all its virulence. Untold agony
followed.
Said Mr.. Scace, az could not sleep for tho
