Town Hall would no doubt have been
filled by our people in the evening, but the
hour for this public social meeting came during
a terrific thunder tempest, with the rain falling
in torrents AS it was only about half of the
comrades were present, and only few of our
citizens.
Captain Boutelle, Of the Bangor Wing, was
first called up. Ills address was devoted
largely to a very gratifying exhibit Of the
patriotism of Maine as shown by the number
of soldiers furnished during the late war-one
10 fourteen of its inhabitants, and one in every
four and a half of the male population. He
felt confident that no other State had done SO
well, but if it could be shown that any one had,
the veterans of Maine would be the first TO
throw up their hats for it,
After Captain Boutelle the following were
called: General Hill, of Forest Port, n. y,
formerly of Exeter; Colonel c. w. Tilden,
Sixteenth Maine, Secretary of Maine Senate
Lieutenant-Colonel l.. B. Farnham, Sixteenth
Maine Department Commander Of G. A. X.
of Maine, postmaster at Bangor; Colonel Bis
bee, Sixteenth Maine, U. S. Marshal Of Maine
