detachments Of the enemy and in mar
assing their march, whether when ad-
vancing or retreating.
Many instances are related of the as
tonishing speed with which the skie-
lobere have forwarded intelligence
from one part Of the country to an
other. One in particular has been re-
corded. When the Swedish monarch
Charles XII, Was shot during the
siege of FrederiksnaId, in Norway. and
messengers were TO be sent with the
intelligence to different parts of the
kingdom, some skielobere. which were
in the army, volunteered to run on
skies to Durntheim, distance of more
than 400 English miles, and they
reached that place twelve hours before
a messenger, dispatched at the same
time. and who used the greatest posi-
BILE expedition.
Some idea may thus be formed of the
difficulty, nay, even impossibility, Of
making any effectual impression By
arms upon a country like Norway, pos
sessing a force of this description,
when her impossible mountains are
considered, and the mistaken spirit
which has always animated every class
of her inhabitants when called upon
20 support their independence. In the
year 1719, 1900 Swedes, who intended
to attack Drontheim, persisted in the
snow on the Mountain of Ruben or
Tydel, which separates Jempteland, in
Sweden, from the diocese of Dron-
theim.
A company of 200 Of the skielobere,
under Maj. Emahus, found them all
frozen to death on the ridge of The
mountain, where they had been sur
prised by storm, accompanied by
snow, hail and extreme cold. Some of
those unhappy victims appeared sit
ting, some lying and some kneeling in
posture of praying. They had cut in
pieces their muskets and burned The
little wood they afforded The Gems.
Labarre and Zoega lost their lives;
and of the whole corps, consisting
originally of 10000, no more than
$500 survived this dreadful catas-
trophe.

which will greatly facilitate the labor
of love-
When all the mounds of dead union
soldiers were decorated the veterans re-
paired to the lot where las soldiers of
the confederacy lie buried and the re-
naming flowers were placed upon
these mounds. The members of the
Grand Army wish it understood that
they have not lost sight of the dis
tlnction between the caVse for which
they fought and the cause for which
the confederates gave up their lives.
None know better than they the diff
ference, and none are more careful to
maintain the distinction. But none
but the men of the Grand Army of
the Republic so we'll know the courage
Of the men against whom they fought,
and none can so tenderly feel the
power Of that sentiment which makes
the heart ache for home and friends.
Their sympathies go out to the moth
erS wives and sisters of these men.
who would, if they could, lay flowers
on the graves of their loved ones. The
confederate lot at Forest Hill is as
neatly kept and as nicely fenced as
that of the union lot. Soon after the
war, as early as 1871, Mrs. Alice Whit
ing Waterman, a native of Louisiana,
found this confederate lot at the ceme-
terry mass of weeds and underground,
with the head-boards of the graves
broken and displaced. She commenced
the work of repair and did what she
could with limited strength and means.
The late Gen. Lucius Fairchild, then
governor, ordered a fence built about
the grounds. This, falling to de-
cay, was replaced some four years ago,
by a solid granite coping, the sole ex-
pense of Mrs. Waterman. Gen. G. G.
Washburn, for whom the local post is
named, was the first to place flowers
upon the graves of his defeated foe
men. Since that time members of the
post have continued the custom.
