welcome by the people who depend
upon his regular visits for the pur-
chase of the nccessaries, ard some Of
the luxuries, Of life.
Mr. Harrington is veteran OF the
= war, and out OF this circumstance
grew the train Of facts that make up
the remarkable experience which lie

to the Transcript office recently. His
story, telling of the evils Of which
the Civil War was but the beginning
in his own, and in thousands OF other
cases, was as follows:

My friends suggested great
