-Mrs. CHORKEY, mother of Mrs. A. BELMORE, of Beaver Creek, is 79 years of age, and has been entirely blind for nine years, but in that time has braided and made a large number of floor rugs, and knit innumerable stockings. She threads her own needle, and full arranges her own work, she is always apparently happy, and spends her time largely singing in her native tongue. (29 Oct 1896)-FROM MANILA.
We make the following extract from a letter received from George A. BELMORE, of Co. G, 30th U. S. V., by his father, Augustus BELMORE, of Beaver Creek, dated in February, at Lucktan. He says, "it is a town of about 25,000 inhabitants, though so many are gone that only about 18,000 are present. Our regiment is in good health, except in two companies, who have hardly enough men on duty for the guard. There are two of our company in hospital, and three sick in quarters, all the rest being fit for duty.
This is Easter Sunday, and the churches are full of people. They have large churches and all are catholic. They have five or six bells in each church, which they ring all at time, making a terrific noise. We get some awful stories about where we ought to go and what we are going to have, but cannot believe anything we hear, though by what we can learn there is no need of any more soldiers on the island.
It is getting so hot we can hardly stand it, and they say it will be worse next month, which, if true, will compel us all to lie in the shade. I send you a roll of oil paintings that I took from a house where we were quartered, but do not know if it will reach you or not, as I had but two postage stamps to put on them, as stamps are hard to get.
By the time you get this it will be nearly time to pick huckle berries, but I guess I wont pick any this year, though I hope I may. I would like to be back there for a dance, though I would not understand the calls, unless it should be fours right, or fours left, or column halt, or charge, though I might learn gain. I must close, and go on guard. With respects to all old neighbors and friends, as ever.
