alluded to, repaired to the dining hall where a
most tempting feast was spread to which ample
justice was done. Too much praise cannot be

to the haps and mishaps of the 10th, and causing
deep emotion by its recognition Of the fallen.

enlivening music that soon came from tie hall
above, indicated that the Re-Union, though al
iourned, was not at an end b.
