all the circumstances OF their
gathering. Here he heard the
same rallying songs that were
heard all over the United States,
and he was happy to meet Under
the flags of the two republics.
This camp fire was different from
those they surrounded more than
thirty years ago. Their comman-
der would say: "Now, don't de-
stroy these peoples property.
Don't break down their fences;
just take off the top rail" The
consequence was that their fires
were not quite so large as this
one. Then they did not have
their wives and daughters beside
them as was the case that night.
Thpir wives and sisters and
daughters we're by the hearth
stones, and too much could not be
said of the patriotic work done
about the hearth stones III that
troublous time. In conclusion he
again expressed his pleasure at
being present. He hoped to fur
nish a recruit for the local Camp
of Sons of Veterans in the person

blanket in a Maine camp, and
concluded with tribute to the
usefulness Of the war correspon-

of the struggle to people then liv'
ing but producing a valuable
record for posterity.
Prof. Cook-whose profession
of music gave point to the inter.
lude-protested, in reference to
the Commanders remarks, that
the band was the leading factor in
the conflict.
A vote Of thanks to Comrade
and Mrs. Wright for their hospi-
tally was passed with hearty &C
clamation, and the proceedings
closed by the singing of "Amer-
ica."
AS the veterans arrived, Com.
rade Wright asked them to enter
their names OF a roster, giving
age, rank, command, and State in
whose troops they served. Some
of them coming late did not enter
but those who did are given below
with age and State only, as few
omitted to give their rank. 1t may
be stated here that an omission
