MISSING MAN REApPEARs.
Linn J. Noble Return. to HIS Home In
Lie Grand After IL aIysterious Alb
sence of Three Years.

lie Grand society was thrown into
rather whirl of excitement by the ap-
pearance of Linn j. Noble, husband Of
Mrs. Matte Richards-Noble, of that
place, who has been missing for three
years. The appearance of Mr.. Noble
is just about as mysterious as his dis
appearance, the cause of which was
never known. No one excepting his
wife was expecting him, and not even
she has heard from him since he has
been away. Mrs. Noble has had con-
fidence that some day he would return,
however, and now there is not hap
pier wife in LIE Grand.
The first heard of Mr.. Noble was from
Fiftieth Iowa soldier, who had seen
him sick in camp, he having enlisted at
tlbg beginning of the war. His wife
wrote him when she heard of his where
abouts and arrangements were made
for them to meet each other in MARSHALL
town, which was done. Mr.. Noble is a
printer, and at present is employed at
North English. Mrs. Noble is daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrus Richards, of
LIE Grand.

In an editorial in the PLAIN DEALER
to-day, we place the cost of our army
as asked for by the President at $780,
600, 900. Since that article was written
we have been favored with the report
of Secretary Alger, in which he asks
for $166, 726, ,599.71 for the support of
the army for the ensuing year which
fixes the cost of each enlisted man at
81. .667 .26 year. The monthly pay of
the private soldier is $13 month,
1856 year. How the government is
to get $1667 year expense of his
salary, food and raiment is one of the
mysteries, only understood by admin
istration jueglery.

the tracks west of high trestle and
passed over the trestle, which was so
feet long, with seven coaches off the
rails and humping along the ties. The
trestle was so feet high, and it is con-
sidered phenomenal that the train was
not hurled off into the creek, in which
event the slaughter of life would have
been awful. The rear car had just left
the trestle when spreading of the
rails ahead of the baggage car piled the
seven cars into heap. The baggage
car and smoker We're ground almost
into splinters and all of the cars were
badly wrecked. There were about so
passengers on the train and not wom-
an or child in the list. The train was
in charge of Conductor j. A. Mitchell,
of this city, and it is claimed was run
ming at nearly 60 miles an hour to make
up lost time. 7. NJ. Wells, of Arcola,
