From last week’s Waukon Democrat,we got the following items that were news twenty years ago:—At the county clerk’s office last Monday morning three pensioners of the war of 1812 met. They were Peter Goodrich, aged 87 years; John Dunday, 86 years; and Mrs. Woods, mother of Dr. Barnes, 74 years old. They all happened to be in there together to have their vouchers approved, and it was a meeting- likely never to occur again.
