Said to be still the rage at. the Aleaver
counly. Pour at the expense
of the tax-payers.--Loca/.
- The :Lewd, as well as the whole
bernocratic partY; have seemingiy,
dropped the , discussion of politic - a
subjects entirely; and settled down to
the work .of abasing the Directors "of
the Poor' I:louse andlts Steward.— ,
This being the,Case, *43),wish to" invite
theh attention ton fe*figures,and beg
for them a candid consideration.
, Mr. A.. , W. Douthitt, a Democrat,
was Steward of the Poor House in
1357. Tti - e expenses for that year were,
as' reported ttie papers, 83,202,15.
.The &vet age nuiltber, of. paupers for
• that time amounted -to .20. Now di. ,
side this sum of money by the-number
of persons kept., aid' you will ascer:
taro that under Mr. Dotithitt's admin
• istration,it cost the cotintYjust 3160,00
to support each pauper for that year.
And beart in mind, too, that at thiii
timemuslin was selling, at 8 cents per'
yard, Calico at 6 canto; catvccr ei.,ee
per pair, and every otherartiele need
ed by the paupers o i i n the sam4ro
portion. During, this 3.61 r, there
were so few insane paupers.whoim
condition required • t`beir-being kept at
Harrislyarg or Dixniont, as to cost the
county but e 4.14,00. This sum is in..
eluded in the above - aggregate.
During tbeFyear 1865 the expendi
tures for the' support of the. Poor
&Ilse, less the 8938,85 on hand, fig
motinted 0.88,265,01. Take from this
minCs2oo,oo paid on,tbe land as par
chase money, 8205,00 paid tor Mowing
machine and bay rake f as.recommt.nd.
• ed lart4lol.-Grand Suryi 8100,00 for a
yoke of oxen, and 81,819,78, the sum
.paid for keepiP,6 the - county's' insane
- at Harrisburg and Dixmont, over and
above what it Cost in Mr. Donthitt's
year, and you find the net expense of
supporting ,the . Poor House . ' and its 1
paupers to be 85,9 : 1.1:423. Now divide
ft-hia'sura by 55, the average number
of paupers let 1865, and , you will as
, certain , that under Republican rule it
cost the county but 8108,00 per pan"
per for that year;_ and this, tob,,when
muslin' was 50 coati per yard instead,
of 8, calico 35 instead of 6, and shoes
83,50 - instead of 81,25'.
Hence, instead of sweeping aster
. Cons, aPd" . .ona 'talk about "hounds and
Guinea pigs!' being,kept on the 'oor
House farm, we wish these figures t l y
*,'be , \ met anti: disposed of in a business
I like way.

Now for ourself. -,, We were a mom= l
ber of the 120th • Ohio Vols. The
emppany with which we were connect;
ed participated in , thirteen battles
during our connection with the army,
In eleven of -these we , took - a 'part,
and Vhen the remaining two occurred
.we were at home woucded., In four
of these eleven we 'commanded Co. F,

in five others of them WO cominapded
the two right companies of ;the regi-i
meat, and'r in the remaining two we 1
were; the regimental commander.—'
These battles were as follows; Mar:.

Wild,KnelisiSpottsylvs.nia, Po River,
,Ratover C IL, Coal Harbor, retire
-
burg, Monocaey, and "whirling Early
up • the -Shenandoah.", Our company
in these several battles lost 13 men in
killed-and bad 20 wounded and 5 cap
tured- in battle. When these' battles
began, the company had been t i e re. -
deeed by disease and disabilities that
it riumbeied only 45 men present far
duty. Remembenng, then, that•fig of
these had either been killed, wounded
or captured iunattle,it will not require
much guessing to. ascertain whether it
was a "fe,ather-bed" company or not.
I Cold. Harbor we "got'a crack" which
kept us in the Field Hospital 'ten days;
