Aprons of every description at the Presbyterian ladies’ bazaar.

A letter came to the local poStoffice a few days ago addressed to Joshua Healey, who died on Jan. 2, 1880. The address was not legibly written and the letter was first opened by Lon Healy, the postoffice clerk and then turned over to the editor of The Republican, who is a son of Joshua Healey. It proved to be from a man named George M. Bowden, who is now in the soldiers’ home at Milwaukee, Wis., and who desires evidence that he at one time belonged to the 9th Indiana regiment. He recounts that while he was with the 9th at Cheat Mountain his mother came there with a note from President LincoTn ordering him released in order that he might return home with her. He later, in 1864, enlisted in the Bth Illinois cavalry. In making application for penson increase information is needed about his service in the 9th Indiana and he would like to have any person who knew of his service there to write him.
