Comrade Dealy made few remarks
to the children, and was followed by
Comrade Winton, who delivered the
address Of the day. Mr.. Winton said
that as he listened to the touching
recitations and patriotic songs, he had
been deeply moved by the sorrowful
scenes which they had brought to his
mind. He portrayed vividly to the pu-
pills the dreadful calamlties of war, re-
lating some good stories Of Mr. Lin
coin, and took occasion to eulogize him
as the best and greatest man that
America has ever produced. Mr.. Win
ton lnterspersed his talk with great
many stimulating questions put to the
War; the number of slaves freed, the
notable generals on either side of the
struggle, ETC., all of which were enter
tanning and instructive.
Mayor Crosby followed Mr.. Winton
with a short, but appropriate address,
in the course of which he contrasted
the former warlike mode of settling
disputes between nations with the
peaceful arbitration of the present day.

ing incidents Of his experiences in the
Indian wars in Southern Oregon. The

pared by the school in expectation of

character, suitable to the cultivation of
love for the "old flag" and Of re-
spect and honor for its brave defend
ers. A detail of two comrades, each
came from Cushing and Farragut Gil
A. r. posts, and every one addressed
the school and many visiting friends

ferings endured by the prisoners of

when presented by the pupils with
