Green of this city, but their action is not

the file of the Fifteenth Maine Regi-
ment. He was mustered in as it's lieu
tenant colonel December 10Th, 1861.
During the three months schooling of
the regiment at Augusta, the work of
drilling fell upon him. The Fifteenth
Maine was destined to see its first SER
vice, not in Virginia with the Army of
the Potomac, but in Louisiana, under
Generals Butler and Banks. At the be-
ginning of the service, Colonel McClus-
key resigned, and Colonel Dyer was pro-
noted to command of the regiment, his
commission dating from August 26, 1862.
The regiment went first to Ship Island,
thence to Louisiana, and thence to Pen
sacola. On January "a, 1862, Colonel
Dyer succeeded General Neal Dow in
command of the district of West Flori-
da, remaining there until June, 1868,
when he was ordered to the Opelousas
country in Louisiana. In the autumn and
winter months of 1868, the Fifteenth
Maine went with Banks's expedition to
the coast of Texas, remaining in that
state until FEBRUARY, 1864, when it re-
turned to participate in the Red River
expedition. In this campaign, Colonel
Dyer saw some hard fighting, especially
in two pitched battles at Sabine Cross
Roads and Pleasant Hill, in both of
which the Fifteenth Maine and its colon
ell distinguished themselves.
Returning from the Red River expedi-
ton, the regiment, with the Nineteenth
Army Corps, came north to Virginia, for
service along the Potomac. Colonel Dy-
er commanded for time the second bri-
gade of the first division of his corps,
but saw no severe fighting.
After the surrender, the regiment par
ticipated in the grand review, when the
Army of the Potomac and Sherman's ar
my marched down Pennsylvania avenue
for two days, in the grandest review ever
seen on this continent.
After the review, Colonel Dyer, with
his men, was sent to South Carolina,
where he became commander of the
Eastern Military District Of that state.
He was mustered out September 10, 1865,
having served nearly four years as a field
officer of the Maine Fifteenth. The rank
of general was conferred upon him as
mark of his faithful service.
Since the war, Colonel Dyer has lived
in Slowhegan. For a number of years
he was engaged in business as drug
gist, but some years ago retired in pos
session of a competency.
General Dyeris a prominent member
of the Methodist church; also promi-
nent Mason. He has been commander
of DeMolay Commandery and Grand
Generalissimo of the Grand Command

Since the first fire at Louis Wasser-

the place has been closed, but he has
been running another store on Fore
street. A few days ago keeper was
put into the Fore street establishment by
his creditors. At 8 a. m. yesterday Off

He did not dare to take them away in
the daytime for fear the keeper would
object So he attempted to remove
them secretly at night. He is now in

The mother had told the children God
was everywhere, and as mother said SO,
that was sufficient for the children. One
morning grandma happened to hear this

The younger, whom we will call Susie,
said to the elder, whom we will callMary.

ANDOVER, IMdSS,, Oec, z, 1901.
A. L. MURDOCH:
Dear Sir--I would like to tell you of our ex
perience with your Liquid Food, for I feel very
sure that in the mercy of God it saved my hus-
bands life.
Two years ago, my husband worn outwith eX-
cessive watching and anxiety by reason of a
severe illness of mine, together with the
pressure of his duties as principal of a high
school, broke down completely, nervous ex-
haustion, severe rhematism, amounting almost
to rheumatic fever, and complete arrangement
of the digestive system, so that he could not
keep milk on his stomach, or the simplest nour-
.ishment, brought him down very low.
Our physician, nearly in despair, tried one
thing after another, but all to no good. At last
he hit on your Liquid Food; the effect was mag
ical The very first dose made itself felt like a
thrill of new life; his Improvement was very
rapid, his appetite ravenous, and he gained flesh
very fast His rheumatism, too, which had
troubled him exceedingly for several years, was
very much relieved, and, in short, he seemed
and felt like a new man. To all who knew him
and his former condition, he was a walking
advertisement of Murdock's Liquid Food. Since
that time, when he becomes debilitated through
overwork OF indigestion, LITTLE of the Liquid
Food will soon set him right again.
Feeling that we both owe you large debt of
gratitude, and this acknowledgement OF the
benefit received, am,
Yours respectfully,
MRS. PERCIVAL F. MARSTON,
jan11M, W&Fu Andoyer, Mass.
