Mr.. Jewett was not prominent as a debater,
but was working member, and always In his
place at the al OF the roll, and was on impor-
tant committees. IL was during this session
that his brother, Joseph Scott Jewett, was
elected Major General OF the 9th Division OF
the militia (succeeding Gen. Saml Fessenden)
which at the time created quite commotion
in military circles, as he had been a long time
out OF military life, but was known to be an
excellent officer as Colonel of the I'd Regiment.
This was supposed to have been brought about
mainly by his influence, chiefly and unwisely,
as was then felt, ON political grounds, Gen

Will Civis inform your readers how many

have received their training in the p. II. s.
also how many women have been trained to
make good wives to men who are struggling to
rise In the world?
If it has been the means Of educating
