SOLDIERS' AND SEAMEN'S HOME.
On motion of Mr. KERCHEVAL, the bill [S. 246] to amend sections 4, 13 and 15 of the act of March 17, 1867, to establish the Soldiers' Home, and supplementary to said act, was taken up.
Mr. JOHNSON, of Marshall, stated that the changes from the act of 1867 were to propose to raise the allowance to $2 50 a week for each child in the institution, and to give the trustees power to bind out those over fourteen years of age.
The bill was read the second time and ordered to the engrossment.
