speaking, music and a campfire in the
evening. Capt. Atherton of Nashua N.

very Instructive, interesting and eloquent
| address, covering a great deal that had to
do with the country's history and her
welfare. The campfire in the evening
called out a large number of citizens and
many soldiers. Several short addresses
were made. Capt. Lull of Montpelier
made one of his characteristic speeches,
and there was no 'Elull' in the interest or
the Emusic" while he kept his feet. Capt.
A. w. Davis of White River Junction
made good speech and kept the audi
ence in the happiest mood by relating
ludicrous and laughable incidents connect
ed with his army life. Capt. E. Fl. Nye,
president of the meeting, and Capt. 0. Fl.
Austin each contributed to the interest of
the occasion by speeches and anecdotes
At the business meeting Daniel Skinner
