A pension of 911,741.13 was granted Aug. 30 1886. to Marcus D. Richardson, of Milton, Trimble Co., N. Y.. late private, Co. E. 63d Ind., at 972 per month for total bllnJness as result o. prison life. He was reported as miss­ ing In action at Atlanta, Ga., July 22, 1864; was captured and centlned In Andersonvllle until Sept. 18, 1864 This man was a County charge. All cases involving large amounts ean onh be examined and passed upon by the Commissioner or Acting Commission­ er. This case wae passed upou by Col. McLean, Asting Commtsioner, The Spoils of War, Some time ago Acting Secretarj Falrchild instruote 1 .Mr. Krltes^Chiuf of the Division of Abandoned Proper­ ly, to carry into effect the provision* -of the act of Congress authorizing th* Secretary of the Treasury to delivei to the rightful owners certain article* of Jewelry, etc., captured by iht United States army during the wai and deposited in the Treasury Depart ment, Mr. Krlteshas accordingly pre pared rules and regulations which will govern the restoration of all suci< articles on deposit. They are con­ tained In two boxes and consist oi *ilverware. jewelry, watches, por i raits etc. One of the boxes container nearly 600 watches, gold, silver ano brass, and a number of jack-ltiilves. pocket books, letters, eto. These wer» mainly taken from; prisoners Jof wai who died in hospitals around Wash­ ington, Cape Lookout and Elmlraauu were deposited In the Treasury bt Gen. Ketchara. Some of them, how­ ever, belonged toJUnlon soldiers wlu< died during tbtf war near the placer designated. The other box container a lot of articles captured by General Sherman's troops at Camden, 8. C., Ii> the early part of 1865. They consist ol family plate, jewelry, eto., whlcli nad been deposited In a bauk at Cam­ den by Mr. McRae and other wealth) residents of that section. An inveuto ry has been made and it is thought th articles can be easily identified bj their owners. They will be restored upon application, accompanied bj satisfactory evidence of ownership The two baxes referred to oontala ai< the property of the character 'de­ scribed now In the United States Treasury, except possibly the presen­ tation swords belonging to Genera Twiggs, and oaptured by Oea, Butlei In New Orleans.

Stonewall Jacksoals ; Flank Attn ok at Chancellorsvllle. From Gen. O. O. Howard's article li the September Century, we quote a* follows: "SomeboJy's guns thundered away for a few snort minutes, and then came the fitful rattle of musket­ ry; and before I could again get into the saddle there arose the ceaseless roar of the terrible storm. *•1 sent out my Chiei of Staff, Col. Asmussen, who was the first Ulcer to mount--'The firing Is In front of Devena, go and see if all is In order on the extreme right.' He Instantly turned and galloped away. I mounted and set off for a prominent place In rear of Scburz's line, so as to change front to the northwest of every brig ade southeast of the point of attack, il the attack extended beyond Deven's right flank; for It was divined at once that the enemy was now west of blm. I could see numbers of our men--not the few stragglers that always iy like the chalf at the first breeze, but scores of them--rushing Into the epeofng, some with arms and some without, running or falling before they got behind the Cover of Devon's reserves and before Gen. Scburs's waiting masses could deploy or charge. The noise and the smoke filled the air with excitement, aud to add to it Dick- mannas guns and caissons, with batterymen scattered, rolled aad tumbled like runaway wagons and carts in a thronged city. Tho guns and the masses of the right brigade struck the second line o£ Deven's before Mc­ Lean's front had given way, and, quicker than It could be told, with all the fury of the wildest hailstorm, everything, every sort or organization that lay in the path of tthe mad cur­ rent *of panic-stricken men, had to give way and be broken Into frag­ ments. "My own bora? seemed to catch the fury; he sprang, he rose high on his hind legs and fell over, throwing me to the ground. My Aid-de-Camp Dessauer, was struck by a shot and killed, and for a few moments I was as helpless as any of the men who were speeding without arms to the rear. But faithful Orderlies helped^me to remount. **I rode quickly to tha reserve batteries. A staff officer of Gen. Hooker, Lleut.«Col. Dlckiuson, joined me there; my own staff gathered around me, I was eager to flU the trenches which Barlow would have held. Buschbeck's second line was ordered to change front there. His men kept their ranks, but at flrst they appeared slow, •rtTIU they ^never get there P' "Dickinson said, *Oh, General' tee those men ooming from that hill way off to the right, and there's tho enemy titer them. Fire, oh. Are at them; ?uu may stop the flight!' '•No, Colonel,' I said,' I will never fire on my own ment" Not being able to attend the He- Union el the 95th. which was held at Jftarengo on the 4th, we take pleasure n copying the following from the Mareugo Republican In relation there- is The eighteenth annual ^e-union of the survivors oi the 95th III.

Death of Comrade Kddy' * The readers of the PLAINDEALKR nave read In last weeks Issue the par­ ticulars of the sudden and sad death oi Comrade Eddy, which occurraed a< Viarengo on the 4th Inst., and there fore we need not particularize here, hut can only add our sympathy with others to bis bereaved family. A brave soldier has falleu, and as has been truly said, '"not upon the field of battle, but amid the victories of peace, and anong his old comrades in arms-- tbe very place of all others, we believe tie would have chosen." Capt.,Eddy as a soldier was brave and loyal; as a friend true as steel, and his name will ever be held in high esteem by all where be was known. The following sketch of his life we clip from the Marengo Repubttoan of Friday last: Capt. Eddy came to Illinois tn 1837, and was therefore one ol the old settlers, having lived here 49 years. He bad filled the office of Justice of tbe Peace. Supervisor, and a term as Sheriff of this County. He was natur­ ally a leader, and possessed that mag­ netic influence that bound men to him in strong friendship. Hence he was honored ana respected wherever known, vas enthusiastic In whatever he undertook, prominent in poli­ tics, an unwavering Republican, marked ability and pleasing ad­ dress. He enlisted in Auguat, 1862. and waa made Capt. of Co, E. 96th, 111. Vols. He wus mustered into the U. S. I service with the regiment at Camp Fuller, Rockford, Sept. 4th, 1882, aa&' M1. vV died on tbo 24th anniversary ot muster-In, aged 66 years. Capt. Eddy was a brave soldier* participating In numerous engage­ ments during the war. and was warmly . esteemed by the officers and me* <| the regiment, as he was also amoac?' his large circle of friends at hodl*«. Surviving him are the Wilis, oa#'; daughter. Mrs. Susan Osborne, of Roefc- ford, and three sons; T. V. ncnt lawyer at Watertowo« Robt., L. also of WatertOWa, Henry Ii. who lives on tbe f home. All of the children were i at the funeral. A brother, California, a sister, Mrs, E. R. of this village, and tbe aged L survives of his father's family. Morris was present; and the bowed with the weight of mora ninety years, followed tbe body ofl dear sen to its last resting plane, " family have the earnest sympathy «f neighbors, comrades and the ontlro community. At the request of Mrs. Eddy, the funeral was conducted iby Harley Wayne Pecs, G. A, R., of which orgaa* ^ izttion Capt. Eddy was a membec* It was also deemed appropriate the servioes be held in the Para wherO be died, an«l arrangements were ac­ cordingly thus made, the funeral ser­ vices being held on luesday afternoon, the 7th, Comrades being present from Woodstock, Capron, Nunda, and other" places. 1 The Butterlne Bill. ..: ^ As the new Oleomargarine law gfegi ^ Into effect at the close of next moftt^.' ^ the following salient points In the hwr -i||f furnished us by Andrew Welch, collect* or of Internal reveuce, will bo of Inter- est to every butter dealer and dtania* er in this neighborhood.
