OLD SEVENTIES CAMP.
A Reminder of the War Story of Drum
mer and Surgeon.

John H. Fogg, Esq, has in his Office and
interesting lthograph.L 1t represents the
camp of the Seventh Maine Regiment OF
Infantry on Murray's Hill. Baltimore, in
7 1851. The regiment is in front of its tents,
deployed for dress parade. Tie officers are
in line in front of the men and Col. r.. H.
Marshall. sits on his horse in the fore
ground By his side is a soldier on foot.
This is Mr.. Fogg, who was adjutant at the
time. Colonel Marshall died of fever in
regiment, marching to take the cars
was in front OF his house. The men
halted. uncovered and reversed arms.
Mr.. Fogg tells a funny story which is
called to his memory by one of the tents in
the foreground. The drummer was a tall
six-foot-two Aroostook patriot, who was
then upwards of fifty years old, but full of
humor. He was always on duty at guard
mounting, at which time The sick call
sounds. Being unable, therefore, to answer
the sick call one morning when he felt ill,
from approaching measles, Drummer Adams
presented himself at the surgeons tent
quite late and asked for medicine.
''Clear out,' said Surgeon Baker. an
abrupt Bangorean. You should have been
here at sick CALL
II could not, for was on duty" replied
Adams.
To this the surgeon relied: What are
you out mere for; you are too old. Are Won
not the identical fellow who beat the
reveille in Noah's Ark?''
