MISS HANcock's ARMY RECORD,
As the story:is Told in Fosters "Nev

Miss sCornelia Hancock, who was a
sojourner in our village for several
weeks, making friends Of all with whom
she became acquainted, departed few
days ago on her homeward journey to
Philadelphia. Miss Hancock is mem
Der OF the w. R. G.. She attended the
national encampment> at Minneapolis
and then decided to visit the North
Shore, Of which she had heard great
deal, before returning home. Thus it
was that Grand Marais enjoyed an ex-
tended visit faom her.
Miss Hancock was an army nurse and
accompanied the army of the Potomac
IN all OF Its campaigns, ministering, as is
recorded in John Y. Fosters ''4ew Jer.
sey and the, Rebellion" with unrelenting
care to the wants OF the sick and wound
ed. She FIRST visited the fold as nurse
in July, 1853, when she vas the first
woman who reached, and ministered to-,
the Second Army Corps, ON the bloody
field OF Gettysburg. Her. iabors here
were of the most exhau sting nd valu-
able charac ter and were highly appre-
ciated by the men. She remained in the
field hospital until the establish
ment of general hospital at Camp Let
terman, where she assisted in the care OF
the wounded for several weeks
longer, the soldiers of the Third Division
voting her Silver medal as an expires.
sion Of their appreciation OF her ser.
vices" The medal afterwards served
her as passport and placed her in favor
with subordinate officers. She was later
at Brandy Station-where the men built
log house for her-at Belle Plain, and
was the first woman from the north to
enter Fredericksburg. Upremittine in
her attentions to the sick and the wound
ed she was always found where her SER
vices were most needed, being Frequent

of the enemy. And "were any dying"
says an army surgeon writing the N. Y.
Tribune, ''she sat by to soothe their last
moments, to receive the dylux messages
to friends At home, and. when it was over
to convey by letter the sad intelligence -
In one instance cannon ball passed
between her and another female nurse,
and shell, at another time, struck the
carriage she was in. "After the fall OF
Richmond she visited that city, and &C.
tive operations having ceased, she pro.
ceeded to Alexandria,, where hospital
was established; for those soldiers who
might be exhausted on the homeward
march. Here she remained fortnight,
when, her services being no longer need.

to forget the fearful scenes which it had
been her lot to witness, and happy in
reflection that she had done what she

experts in the country. is authority.
According to Mr.. Staats. piece of yellow
pine land. held ten years ago at price of
$751; 900, is to- day unObtainable at $750OOO. An
other tract in West Virginia covered with
spruce and hemlock. and purchased five years

are in way remarkable. Hundreds of others

The question naturally arises to how much
timber land Weyerhaeuser owns. He won't tell.

Washington alone-;i2. 100000 acres. Pretty
much everything outside Of the government for

may not own it, his name may not appear

Such is true of Oregon's great forest lands also.

reigned for years undispUted. 1t is estimated
by those who have studied WeyeThaeuser's

every bee in it seems TO be struggling to get

pull open the door. Only a few hundred rush

feet from the hive. and at once return. Only a
few circle above and then fly straight for the
distant fields. In less than five minutes the
