To Cleveland Division No. 31:

I send you by the hands of a mutual friend for your acceptance a picture of my deceased and deeply lamented husband. Be pleased to give it a place among those of others of the Brotherhood, that hang upon the walls of your Lodge. It will serve to keep in remembrance one; who in the prime of life has passed from this "vale of tears," to recall to your minds the estimation in which while on earth you,were collectively and individually held by him, the high honor he felt in belonging to so noble a band of Brothers, and the necessity of preparing for that great change from life to death, which sooner or later awaits us all. Permit me, also, to avail myself of this opportunity, to express to you on behalf of myself and fatherless child, the deep gratitude I feel for the many favors received from you during the time of his severe and painful sickness-a period of nearly two years duration. You not only furnished us with the means of living comfortably, but also provided for him everything we hoped would conduce to his restoration to health. Not only this, but many of you and your warm hearted wives, visited and sympathized with us in our home of trouble and distress,and poured the balm of consolation into our aching hearts. But all was of no avail to save him; the inexorable fiat had gone forth, and poor Will "sleeps the sleep that knows no waking," has gone to that "bourne from whence no traveler returns." Rest assured however, all these acts of goodness, of genuine kindness, respect and esteem, have sunk deep in my heart, will be treasured up in my memory, and endure till life's warm pulses cease to beat.

Before I conclude, let me say though I have not at present the means of reimbursing you, I propose when the insurance money is paid you should deduct from it all the expenses of his funeral incurred by you.

Again returning my warmest thanks, permit me to subrscribe myself your grateful friend and well wisher, MRS. JOSIE T. WALSH.

Bro. WM. C. WALSH, of Cleveland Division, No. 31, died Feb. 22, 1873, aged 30 years.

Bro. WALSH had long been a member of Division No. 31, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He suffered for two years with spinal complaint, and nearly one year was confined to his house and bed, Bro. WALSH bore up with good courage and was hopeful to the last, and thought he was to get well, and again engage in his favorite occupation of running a locomotive.

Bro. GEORGE COLE, of Rochester Division, No. 18, died Feb. 23, of erysipelas, aged 39 years and II months.

Bro. COLE had always been regarded as having a strong constitution and good health, which enabled him to endure any amount of hardship; but death has no respect of persons-the strong die as well as the weak, and thereby admonish us all to be ready.

He commenced running on the Cheshire Railroad at Keene, N, H.; then run for a time upon the Illinois Central Railroad. He came to Rochester in 1854, and has run on the New York Central Railroad since that time.

Bro. COLE had many warm friends, and his death will be sincercly lamented by many that have wit nessed and shared his liberal generosity.

Mrs MARY ISABEL, beloved wife of Bro. AUGUSTUS Bullard, of Division 43, died at Syracuse, N. Y., recently, leaving an infant daughter.

WILL YOU obtain one subscription for the JOURNAL? We have back numbers to fill all orders. Whatever you do for the JOURNAL is so much help for the widow and orphan.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for any articles from our correspondents, and we hope that none will feel aggrieved if their communications are rejected. We are acting for the good of the Brotherhood, and have no personal aims to promote. All communications should be accompanied with the post-office address in full of the writer, but the real signature need not appear in the JOURNAL if so desired. All communications of this character will receive prompt attention, and a reply will be returned if rejected.

The price of subscription will be One Dollar per copy; but we offer as an inducement to all that send a list of ten or more, ten per cent. discount. This rule will apply to all our friends, as well as to members of the Brotherhood.

In addition to the above, we will give a nicely bound copy of the JOURNAL for 1872, to any of our lady friends who send us a list of ten or more subscribers, obtained outside of the Brotherhood.

To be fairly entitled to the ten per cent., the JOURNALS should be ordered sent to one address without any names being written upon them. It is but a trifle for each agent to keep a list and write the names upon each JOURNAL, but to be obliged to write the names for several thousand, it is quite a task.

In sending subscriptions for the JOURNAL, be sure and write names distinct. and give full directions as to WHERE and HOW they wish them sent. Subscribers wishing a change made in the direction of the JOURNAL, will please state where it was sent before. It is almost impossible to find the name without much waste of time, when they simply say, send my JOURNAL to such a place, and not give the present address.

All orders for JOURNALS to be sent by Express, should give residence, or some particular place to have the package left, so as not to cause any delay in the delivery, or unnecessary trouble to the express companies.

We have plenty of bound JOURNALS, volumes First, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth, which we will furnish at One Dollar for the year 1867, and One Dollar and Fifty Cents each for the years 1870 71 and 72. We have plenty of back numbers of the JOURNAL for the years 1871-2.

Great complaint is made that it is impossible to obtain replies to correspondents between some of the Sub-Divisions. We hope some Brother will be selected in each Division, whose special duty it shall be to answer all correspondents promptly. And it is very important that each Division

should have a particular Post-Office address that can be reached at any time, without a possibility of failure. The Division addresses, should, in all cases, appear in the meeting notices in the JOURNAL.

It is much the safest and cheapest way to send money by Post-Office order or Drafts. Registered Letters are no safeguard to the money.

Brothers calling, will find our office readily by following walk in rear of depot, up Bank street, opposite rear of Weddell House, then turn to the left on Frankfort street, when the sign of Messrs. Nevins' Printing House will be visible.
