written and interesting, though brief, his
tory of the company. Colonies Stephen e.
Pingree and George w. Hooker spoke for a
short time of the battle of Antietam. A
very touching letter from Captain j. w.
Clark of Montpelier was read. After par
taking of u supper furnished by the ladies'
about two hours We're spent in social con-
versation and in recalling some OF the many
incidents of the war. In the evening a
campfire was held, at which letters from
Colonies Whitney and Walbrdge and
many others were read. Colonel George
w. Hooker responded to " Vermont in the
war " in a feeling mannec, as did Captain
II. j. Colfey to "The Grand Army of the
Republic" Mrs il. II. Hayward spoke for
" Woman and her work in the late war"
Colonel S. r. Pingree spoke for "The Sixth
Corps and eloquently portrayed some OF
its many achievements. The glee-club sang
stirring war song and the boys adjourned,
hoping that they might all be present at the
next reunion of the old company. But the
four years service has told its story upon
the persons of many of them, and before the
next reunion here many will have gone to
meet the comrades mustered out. Colonel
Hooker, who has very warm place in his
heart for the private soldier, said to the
people present at the reunion: " Treasure
up the records of the boys, for soon they
will all be gone" and those who looked
upon the few faces present at the re-
union could but see that soon there would
be none left of those who offered their lives
and all they held dear as a sacrifice for
their COuntrys safety.

The Brainerd Case.

A st. Adams dispatch, September 18th,
says: Lawrence Brainerd's bondsmen and
their attorney are very reticent in regard to
him. They intimate, however, that they
take little stock in the report that he is in
Hamilton Canada. They have received no
authoritative confirmation of his presence in
Canada, and though they seem to have sus-
picions as to his actual whereabouts, they
say they do not know with certainty where
he is. Every move is being made to appre-
bend the fugitive and bring him to justice.
All the correspondence in regard to it is
conducted by cipher, and the movements of
those interested are kept as secret as posi-
BILE. Mr.. E. G. Smith, the bondsmen's at
torney, said that they We're bound to get
Branerd and would have him sure at last.
He disagreed decidedly with Senator Ed
munds' opinion in regard to the right of the
bondsmen to take Brainerd ont of Canada.
He said the senator's view was given as if
the action had been by the government.
The right of bondsman to take his bail
was clear. This was the ground that the
bondsmen would take if the question was
brought to law. 1t is evident that the
bondsmen have some knowledge of Brain
erd which they are unwilling to divulge."

Death of Jumbo.

Jumbo, the $500 900 elephant, was killed
on the Grand Trunk Air Line track, half a
mile east of St. Thomas, Ont, Tuesday night
the 18th. His keeper was leading him along
the track to load him, when freight train
came up behind, unnoticed, and ran him
down. He was injured so badly that he died
in thirty minutes. The trick elephant, Tom
Thumb, was also injured, his leg being
broken. Jumbos measurement after death
was: Circumference of forearm, five feet six
inches around front foot five feet six
inches height, eleven feet length of trunk,
seven feet four inches: around his tusk, one
foot three and-one half inches; length of fore
leg, six feet. Jumbo was caught by party
of Arabs in Africa, when very small calf,
and was purchased for the Jdrdin DIES PldnteS,
in Paris. In some exchanges of animals with
the London Geological Gardens, the young
elephant became the property of the latter.
AS he grew he developed extraordinary size,
and when he reached eleven feet Mr.. Bar
mum marked him for his own. Some appre-
henson had been expressed in the London
papers lest he should become ill-tempered
and dangerous as he grew Older, and the dl-
rectors of the gardens accepted an offer of
SIC, 900 from Mr.. Barnum's agent. II is es-
timated that he has been seen and admired
by fourteen millions of people. He was sup
posed to be about twenty-five years old.
1.-THE death of jumbo" said Mr.. Barnum
to New York reporter, " Will make neces-
Sary complete change in our plans. All
Europe was waiting TO see Jumbo. His
death robs us of our main attraction and
we shall not go to Europe now. | tele-
graphed at first to give Jumbo's skeleton to

ton and the skin to my museum at Tufts
College. That will be the the ultimate dis
position of them, but my wife suggests that
/ have Jumbo mounted and continue to eX'
hibit him in the show for the present. That
is what shall do. If | can't have Jumbo
living I'll have Jumbo dead, and Jumbo
dead is worth a small herd of ordinary ele
plants" Mr.. Barnum is quoted as saying
shortly after the news of Jumbo's death was
reported to him, that he was not sure bu
that he should present claim for damages
against the Grand Trunk. A Montreal dis
patch reports Manager Hickson as saying
that the official report sent to him shows
that the showmen had cut down fences ant
were driving Jumbo across the track whei
he was killed. Had they taken the trouble
| to go around short distance by the regula
crossing, a signal man would have warne,
them of the approaching train and the acct
| dent would have been averted Mr. Hick
son says the company can in no way be hel'
responsible.
