rowing tale of restitution and

city several days ago carrying a

Moore, who resided some time
ago at Newell's Run. She says
that her husband died at Chat
tanooga several months ago,
leaving her destitute in that city,
and that she started north on
foot to find her relatives. Her
trip, in midwinter, can be better
imagined than described. No

Seed distribution.

The seeds distributed gratui-
tously by the government during
the present fiscal year weighed
100000 tons and occupied 80 mail
cars in transit. The cost of car.
rying them through the mails
was over 500 Enough seed
was sent tout gratuitously to plant
lis square miles of garden. Each
Congressman received enough to
plant 1853! acres. For the cur
rent year, at present prices, the
amount required by Congress to
be expended in the purchase of
seed will make each Congress-
mans quota double what it was
last year. The secretary of ag-
riculture sincerely regrets this
unnecessary and wasteful expen-
diture of public moneys and
hopes Congress may in good
time put a stop thereto.
