The Walking Skeleton of Anderson- ville is the title of which James-Mc­ Laughlin, a Delaware and Hudson c&- nalboat captain la proud. Ho relates that he served a longer term of lot- That "Heavy Borden."' Who is bearing the "heavy borden" of supporting needy veterans which the soldter-hatiug papers harp on? Nobody Is bearing Cj soldiers1 «f every very large in proportion to its mem­ bership, and this does not begin to tell the story. Every comrade is con­ tinually called upon to put bis hand in his pocket for the relief of needy vet­ erans and their dependent ones, and.to give equally liberally of his time and services. No class of meu in the couutry do a tithe of the amount for the benefit of those who need help, la the community that the ex-soldiers are constantly doing for those who were associated with them in the great work of saving the nation. It Is not right that they should be com­ pelled to bear the whole of this enor­ mous and constantly increasing bur­ den. The country which owes every­ thing to these men should da its full share. The adoption of the recom- ineudalions of the National G. A. R. Pension Committee will lift a large portion of this great lead ofl the shoulders of the comrades and place it where it rightfully belongs--on the treasury of the United States.--Nat, Tribune. of March 3,1885, 0; Order Oct. 7, 1885, 8; Act of Aug. 4,18S6,3; Supplemental 'spoke to one of Lanphears--now of ( Night Hawk's Tarns Without rations at Cumberland Gap; and rebel armies to our'right and toll and in our front and rear. That our condition, and we bad been short rations for weeks. We had cap# tured a few supplies now and thoil^ but^ihe soldier population was UN thick for the resources of that pari ol the country, and when October we were In a condition to starve, ear* render, or retreat. General G. Morgan was actually considering texlUP of surrender with rebel General Palm--^ er when Col. DeCourcy formed his brigade into a hollow sqaaro and ad-*, dressed them: "Soldiers, you are aware that We are in a tight place,, that we are destitute of food and clothing, that we are two hundred and fifty miles from our base of supplies, and that we are surrounded by sixty- nine thousand hostile soldiers, while we are but eight thousand seven hun­ dred, and our commander is even now negotiating our surrender. Now, be-, fore he returns I wish to know if jou are willing to- surrender. If you. choose rather' to attempt a forced march to Greenupsburg, I will under­ take to lead you. All In favor of the attempt say Ay?* And what an ay was that! It echoed and re echoed among the hills. We did not sniten* der. Our disabled soldiers were left In camp and we struck out for Manches­ ter, where we arrived the next day, when we secured rations for two or three days. ' At this place occurred an army e±e- cution--just but sudden. Lewis Sti­ vers shot a comrade. He was placed under arrest, tried by court martial and sentenced to be snot. His *gravo was dug, and the next day, one mile from camp, he was shot kneeling upon his coffin. He looked, while alive aol well, upon hif^own coffin, and down into bis own grave. A sadder procea* sion I never saw move than that car­ rying a living subject for burial. The uext day, after we ha^ camped, I saw an old woman milking a cow, and 1 Chicago--mm, and said: "Come, let us go and buy some milk of the old lady." We went, I approached upon jclie side of the cow where the old lady was milking. He came up on the oth­ er aide. I acked her to sell me some milk, and she replied that she couldn't, as a ld| ©t%fficors were going to sup us ink pbout war, ami asked: do ye low thar'll be enhy flghtta' here to-night?' '"Yes," I answered, *1 think there will. Don't you see that battery down the river there?" She left ofl milking and looked for the battbry. Comrade B{ily improved this opportunity to become possessor of the milk, Presently she resumed • tier milking, and discovering her loss arose and saw him going away, and ttxclaimed:" Wal, I'll be dogoned ef you chaps ain't the beatineot onman- uered scamps I ever heord tell on.'* Wehad to o(ten our road from this place to Greenupsburg, but ve fot there. Morgan's Aaid Again. Dupont, Ind.,"was in the line of Mor­ gan's raid, and they found little aid or comfort there. When the war be­ gan almost every able-bodied man in Dupont volunteered. When Vloks- burg surrendered,, we celebrated the victory in earnest, everybody taking a band. While tbe anvils were being fired as fast as tbey could be loaded, some one threw a burning fire cracker into tbe coflee pot with which tliey were loading, and the explosion iu- jured two men badly. While these lay recovering from t*ie ellects of this ac­ cident, wrapped in cotton, Morgan's men came. They visited the hospital and taking them for cases of small-pox lit out lively. During the maroh through Dupont of the raiders a good old Baptist brother ran through the town very much excited. He had lived hero for many years--a quiet, God-fearing life, beloved by everybody, and never be­ fore known by speech or act to bend or even twist one of the commandments. But this proved too much for him. The sight of the rebel llag and its ac­ companying paraphernalia of war in our hitherto peaceful and proverbially patriotic town was too much foi him. It brought the war home to us as nev­ er before, and the old man started running with ail his might through the streets, shouting, "Morgan's damn reb­ els are here! Morgan's damn rebels are here!" as loud and as fast as he could proclaim it. Some one met him and expostulated with him, !reminding him that as an eld member of the church he should not use such language. "I cannot help It," said the old man; "Morgan's damn rebels are In Dupout." C. L. RANDALL. Dupont, Jeflerson Co., Ind. The Verdict Unanimous- W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind. testifies: "I can recommenl ElectrW Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold lias given relief in every case. One man took 6ix bottles, aud w%s cured of Rheumatism of 10 years' standing." Abraham Hare, druggist. Bellville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years' experience, Is Electric Bitter-j." Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure ati diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood.
