fresh CLANS from the town of Scarboro. and
more particularly from the immediate vcin-

the care of the Bros. Newcomb, who by the
way are fine soldiers, and by them placed in
the hands OF the mysterious company cook.
1t was no niggardly donation, there being
ten gallons of the nicely cleansed clans in two
large tin cans. Could the good folks at Blue
Point have seen the gusto with which "the
boys" dipped into clam soup, they would have
felt amply repaid for their kinkness. mag

mon ration, that they were thinking of kind
friends in the dear "Pine Tree State.' Sol
dies find time to think even as they eat.

this Intrusion. All quiet along the lines of
