Increase of Pension.

Congressman Frank Plurnley has as
surance that the bill for increase of PEN
sion of Abial Cheney of Concord, to $40
a month will pass the House. MIR.
Cheney, who is 81 years old. and helpless
because of the burden of years, is now a
resident of Concord, although he served
in a New Hampshire regiment during
the civil war He has the distinction of
being the first man to enlist in New
Hampshire when the call for volunteers
was made. He saw more than four
years of active service. In the Senate,
Mr. Plunley had the hearty cooperation
of Senator Page and the bill passed
that body last Monday. Its passage
by the House will insure the venerable
soldier an income which will provide him
with more of the comforts of life as it
draws to its worthy close.
