A TRIBUTE TO GEN. srANNARD.


Senator Edmunds Asks for "A Pension for
the widow of "A Hero of Gettysburg.
Senator Edmunds in presenting me-
mortal in the Senate Saturday afternoon
for pension to the widow of Gen. Stan
nard of Vermont, said "Mr. Pres-
dent, present the memorial of myself as
citizen of Vermont praying Congress to
pass "a bill granting pension Of 800
month to Mrs. Emily J. Stannard, the
widow Of the late Gen. George J. stan
nard, brevet maior-general and full
brigadier general Of volunteers, whose
conspicuous strategy and gallantry ut
Gettysburg turned the fortunes Of war at
that time and who afterward at
Fort Harrison, in the operations
before or toward Richmond lost
an arm at the shoulder from
shot of the enemy, and who, after he came
home drew pension at the rate OF S4S a
month. He was entirely broken up by
his war service, and his widow and
two grown up daughters are left in
very necessitous circumstances, the
widow having been for many years a help

sions, therefore, to give this matter very
early consideration, for ! think that
among the volunteer soldiers Of the war
or among any soldiers Of the war there
was no man who did more for his country
than General Stannard did, and notably
on this occasion at Gettysburg, where, |

The month of May has been one of the
most eventful probably, in the history of
the Young Mems Christian association,
since during this period steps have been
taken which provide permanent build
ing for the association. The usual work
has progressed in pleasing manner. The
reading room has had a liberal patronage
for the summer months. The final enter
tainment of the course has been given.
Three meetings of the board have been
held, and special meeting of the asso-
citation. The executive committee
have been in session once. The
attendance at the gospel service, Sun
day afternoons has been 1884, and at the
young melr's Bible class 80. The Friday
and Saturday evening services were not
so uniform as during the winter months.
At the Sunday and Tuesday evening ser
vices at South Burlington the attendance
has been large and the results excellent
There is promise of better work than the
association has done recently.
