WAR RECORDS.
Hundreds Of Letters Of Inquiry Received at
the Capitol.

Correspondence accumulated very
rapidly at the adjutant generals office,
during the annual encampment of the
Maine troops. 1t was not, however, as
one might expect in relation to the
National Guard, but was almost EN-
tirely made up of letters from people
who are looking up the war records or
something in connection with the do
ings of men during the war Of the re-
bellion.
These letters come to the Office by
the hundred. Some of them are anxious
inquiries from persons who are inter-
ested in securing pensions for them
selves, their friends or clients. There
are many. however, from people who
are collecting material for histories OF
families, cities towns or counties.

Hon. p. o. Vickery was seen last
evening. after he had concluded for the
day his work ON the canvass for sub
scriptions to the shoe factory. He ex-
pressed himself as much pleased with
the result, which Is given below. He
has all along felt that there would not
be the slightest trouble to raise the full
amount but he wishes to have the stock
taken as generally as possible for in
that way greater interest is felt in the
enterprise. Owing to call upon his
time at the hospital, he was unable to
conclude the canvass, yesterday. but
will do so today, and return to Ocean
Point Friday morning. He said: Il find

building figured very prominently in
the deliberations of the House of Rep
resentatives last winter Everyone
who had never been to the farm thought
surely that the schoolhouse existed on
ly in Mr.. Hamilton's peculiar style of
oratory. But there it is right in the
picture which was reproduced from q
photograph. The photograph was
brought along by Mr.. Hamilton and
presented to Mr.. Wiggin. This school
house was mentioned by Mr.. Hamilton
in a speech in which he opposed an APP
preparation for one of the academies.
He informed the House that he had a
schoolhouse and that he had for a long
time regretted that he had not followed
the example of other promoters of edu-
cation and got it Incorporated as an
academy so that he could get an annual
appropriation.

BEN HAMIL TONS FARM and SCHOOLHOUSE,

Representative Ben Hamilton of
Biddeford, could not convince some
people, who were about the State
House. last winter, that he was a farm
er. In fact many members supposed
that Mr.. Hamilton's reference to him
self as a farmer and his tales about
farming operations were both made in
a joking way.
In the committee on the judiciary OF
which the giant from Biddeford, was
a member there were many ocular re-
marks made about Mr. Hamilton's
farming experiences. When any pro-
posed measures affecting the farmers
was under discussion the practical side
of the matter was referred to him. He
was earnestly requested to inform his
colleagues whether crossing tomcods
and potatoes would produce an edible
fish hash.
Some thought that Mr.. Hamilton
might own a farm but someone else did
