Martin Kei.i.ogo.Tliisisa letter which might be cn 11-1 extraordinary. The writer is evi-n l\ still possessed of all Ins mentalcult ies and his physical seem to be reserved astonishingly. As a writer,Atlw(JI)Nii0, he is something beyond common, is sentences being as well finished id punctuated as those of a writer in gular practice of the pen, also his ards are perfectly spelled, while his ammar is as good as need be. This a hundred years old, when the cmories of others of that age have nerallv become a blank and their cullies useless, is worthy ol especial ention. The Bocal is indebted to ichael Bipsitt, of Sandusky, for the vorof the veteran’s letter. iIEWhi41 A* CA NO I l'A SIN UN OH IMOn
