SOLDIER’S AID SOCIETY – “We take much pleasure in publishing the following correspondence, as it is highly honorable to the Directors of the corporation, who gave the entire receipts upon their road for one day to so sacred a purpose as aiding our maimed and disabled soldiers.  This generous act proves that there are notable exceptions to the old saying, that ‘Corporations have no souls.’
    We can give them the fullest assurance that their liberal bounty will be faithfully applied to the excellent object for which it was bestowed:  Salem & So. Danvers Railroad Office, Salem, June 13, 1864, Mrs. Henry Cook, - I take pleasure in handing you as the representative of the South Danvers branch of the Sanitary Commission, a check on the Salem Bank for $108, being one third of the receipts (both cash and tickets) taken by the South Danvers and Salem Railroad Company on Wednesday last, for the purposes of said commission.
    The above sum includes, also, the wages of the employees of the road for that day, which were cheerfully contributed by them for this object, which lies so near every heart.” Signed “Very respectfully yours, Geo. D. Phippen, Treas. S & S D R R”

YANKEE GROWTH AND PLUCK – “Among the members of the Fourth Massachusetts Battery which arrived at Boston week before last, was Mr. Jacob Curtis, of this town, whose age is twenty-seven, and who measures six feet, seven and a half inches in height in his stockings.  The Boston Transcript says he is a genuine ‘son of Anak’, and all his companions literally look up  to him.  He went out with his battery in November, 1861, and has been in all its dangers and exploits from the time he landed at Ship Island, below New Orleans, until they came home.  The battery inscribes upon its banner the names of six battles – one of them the severe and unequal contest at Baton Rouge, under General Butler, and many sharp skirmishes.  It lay under fire fifty-two days at Port Hudson.  The men went out one hundred and fifty strong, received sixteen recruits, returned with ninety-one soldiers, all of whom, except one, have re-enlisted.  Very good for old Essex County.”
