Fourth Delaware Reunion.

The reunion of the Fourth Delaware
Regiment in Dover on Wednesday af-
ternoon was in every way success.
The old vets were there, many of them
having the unmistakable badge of the
battlefield in missing limbs and more
the bent and haggard look of the
prison pen that continues to the grave.

in goOdly numbers to greet them. The
exercises opened at the Opera House
with music by a select choir composed
OF Messrs. H. Y. Stout and B. F. Harris
Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Ollie Evans.
Misses Brown and Hairgrove. Rev.
p. E. Williams offered prayer and
James PeDnewill, Esq, welcomed the
veterans to Dover. Joseph Killgore
responded, and with speech.
and music the reunion was made a
remarkable one. The members of the
old Fourth have reason to be proud of
their record, and Col. \. H. Grimshaw.

commander ever led a braver set on
more hOtly contested fields than did he

Fourth.
