1t is noticeable that OF 104 pensioners
drawing $50 or more month who are paid
from the Concord, n H., agency, which
pays the pensioners from the three states
of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont,
more than half are Vermonters,-an addi-
tional evidence, if any is needed, of the
severity of the service to which the MEM
bers of our Vermont reg ments were ex-
posed in the war.
The Sun does not propose to publish the
entire pension roll, since it would fill over
six hundred pages of that paper. That, it
SAYS, should be done by the government.
OF the 1868 names thus printed it says:
eff any part of the list will Withstand
the severest scrutiny this part will. Here
are the surviving patriots and heroes who
suffered most for their flag and country.
| Let the list be studied with admiration and
gratitude in every state, city and town.
