The dining hall was tastefuIIy decorated
with eyergreens and the National Banner
stretched across the room, surrounded on all
sides by ingenious represen t9tionS of State
arms and patriotic sentiments. The table
groaned beneath the weight OF turkeys,
chickens, and other delicacies provided for the
occasion, by the munificent hheraiity of Bos-
ton and its Mayor. The Chaplain of the Hos
pital made an appropriate prayer, to which
all present responded and after which, the
sacrifice OF turkeys and chickens was turned
to an indescriminate slaughter, and could only
be compared TO the destruction of rebel hosts
in the Valley Of Virginia, with the exception
that our soldiers in the Valley did not eat their
foes, while IL hospital, they did devour the
Bostonian's turkey.
