A Nephew of his Uncle.

An interesting item of news that came hear escaping the Logansport press, Was the appointment some time since by Congressman Tom Wood ol a nephew of his from Crown Point as a cadet to West Point. The youngster appears to havo been cut and made from the same quality of goods as his more or less illustrious uncle, inas- % much as his career of military glory was limited to two weeks. The officials down at the Point found that the young man was not made of the material from which wo get our Sheridans and Hancocks, and so shipped him back to Crown Point. This reminds us. why is the appointment to which the Teflth District is entitled in the national military school not filled?—[Logansport Journal.
