VERY CLOSE TO GETTYSBURG.

a few days ago an old soldier I'm
Ohio, who was at GETTYSBURG nfty
years ago, received his TRANSPORTATION
TO attend the celebration now in prog
ress upon that world famed field OF
battle. He returned 1T to the GOV
ernor OF Ohio with the information
that, although he was at Gettysburg
on the day Of the fight, he took no
part IN II, because he was a paroled
prisoner He was noncombatant,
and so with strict and scrupulous r,
gard for truth. he felt that he could
not honorably accept what he thought
the state meant for combatants alone

fellows letter, he immediately re-
turned tho transportation, and invited
the old soldier to accompany the Ohio
contingent as tho guest of tho State

Tho conscienti6usness OF this VEN
