The SOldiars' and Sailors, Ro7,1,ioy,

Inc SOlQ10rS and Sailors Reunion.
Mr.. EDIToR:-An article in last nights Ad-
vertiser favors holding the August encamp.
ment of the Soldiers and Sailors Association
on Cushing's Island, on the ground that the
Casco Bay Steamboat Co. urge that place as
matter of necessity. They claim the location
is unsurpassed, that they will transport the
veterans free and, to accommodate passengers,
hire large steamer besides their own.
1t seems to me that Cushing's Island would
be good spot for an ordinary affair, but this
is special occasion. The city has contributed
$500, and one OF the points brought forw ard
to influence the appropriation was that the en-.
campment could be held in behring's Oaks, a
location easily reached by the great throng OF
visitors to the city, and without expense. Oh
course every one who went to the island would
have to pay his steamboat fare, sum that
would amount to something if he went sew.
eral times during the four days encampment
1t is true the veterans would go free but they
will form only a small portion of those who
visit us on that occasion.
Again, is it at ali probable that such boats
as we have in our harbor, even with the addi
ton of a boat like the John Brooks, could &C
commodate the vast throng, besides veterans,
who will wish to visit the island? Or would il
be possible for q large boat to make landing
| convenient to where the encampment will be
| held? Are there not many, espe cially womeI
| and children, who would prefer to stay al
home rather than go on a crowded boat, or, i
not overloaded, compelled to wait until late
| hour before getting back to the city? If the en-
| campment. however, is in the town proper
than the crowd can go or come at any hour, ani
| be subject to no inconvenience. At any ratt
will it not be well to weigh the whole subiec
! carefully before deciding on so important .
| matter. TAXPAYER

town during the vacation, and being unem-
ployed the time hangs heavily on their hands.
To help just such boys the Boston summer
'whittling SCHOOL, was established, and now
has been in successful operation for few
years. A competent carpenter was engaged,
the boys taught the use of tools, and some
commenced to make boxes, brackets, book
shelves, &c. When these articles were sold
the boys received one-half of the proceeds.
A prominent carpenter upon reading the no.
tice this morning said, "Now that is just the
thing. Often times boys come to me to learn
the trade or to get work whom would be glad
to help if they only had some knowledge of the
use of tools that capt take time to teach
them" Benevolent people find great difficulty
in obtaining work for Door men and boys be-
cause they have never been taught any special
branch of employment An opportunity is
now afforded, which / trust will be fully ap-
preciated, SO that the Portland fraternity will
be encouraged to go on with this practical
charity, A.

On the 18th of August 1864, Mr.. j. P.
Whitehouse of Augusta, during an engage
ment with the rebels on the Weldon railroad
in Virginia, was struck in the right side, near
the eleventh rib, by a bullet which passed
entirely through his body, penetrating the
liver, and coming out near the spine. 1t was
thought that he must succumb to the wound
but he rallied, and in March, 1865, came back
to Augusta from the hospital Mr.. White
house grew rapidly stronger, and was soon
able to resume business. He is now employed
in E. G. Caswell's grocery store in Granite
block, Augusta, and enjoys good health. He
reads all the news from Washington with
avidity, and is sanguine that President Gar
