Gets a Check from Uncle Sam.

Albany, N. Y., June 5. - After more than thirty years, Richard W. Allen of this city has effected a settlement with the United States navy department. During the late civil war he served in the navy as landsman, and the final settlement disclosed the fact that Uncle Sam was indebted to him to the amount of 35 cents, which he received yesterday by check from the navy pay office at Washington.
