Letter from Camp Thomas.

The following letter is written by c. G.
Norris, who enlisted from Lyndonville in
Company D. Mr.. Norris is treasurer Of
the Dairy Association at Lyndonville and
as his letter touches upon the provision
question so largely we feel sure it will in

intended for publication, but was ad-

CAMP THOMAS. June IL, 1898.
DEAR BOYS: - Your letter came last
night announcing the shipment of good
things from home friends. The box sent
by Landlord Webb came in good condi-
ton and you would have been moved by
the almost childish delight of the recipi.
ents. But to be honest, boys. it is better
that we do not get these things from
home. 1t does much to magnify our de-
privations. The thoughtfulness and ef-
fort you have shown could not be more
truly appreciated, but you will see my
point. The government has been so as
sailed for their abuse Of the army, we are
promised better treatment. The Journal
received by some Of the boys, states the
plan to reproduce the "Milkmaids" for
our benefit. I earnestly hope they will
appropriate the proceeds to some more
needy object. Our deprivations would
not have been counted hardships by SOL
diers of other wars. We are lot of
children and 1 am ashamed. We have
been hungry and thirsty, but what Of it !?
/ have related facts in writing you, but
1 have never intended to complain. l
mailed you a package OF letters yester-
day; please preserve them, also the bull
let's. We get our pay the first of July.
Camp life is uninterrupted by any event
of Importance. The routine OF camp
duty keeps us busy and each day goes by
very quickly, and yet the whole time
since we came to camp seems very long.
The general conditions of the war, its
probable length, ETC., are as well known
to you as to us, and perhaps better. The
Chattanooga Times is quite up-to-date
and we can get the New York Journal
the day following its publication. Ihave
enjoyed our officers and received many
courtesies. 1t is one Of the strict orders
that no private shall 60 near the officers
quarters, but to the LIST sergeant for any
thing wanted. They often invite me to
spend the evening at their quarters aud
a large part of Sundays, when the major
usually comes down. We hold some very
pleasant hours and usually profitable,
in the discussion Of many topics in gen.
eral. Of course the war question is Of
first Importance. We are having a
heavy rain today, the first since we left
Vermont. l earnestly hope it will inn
prove the water. Do all you can, boys,
to prevent sending US more supplies. Since
I began this we have had dinner, and it
was very good, viz, fresh beef, onions,
potatoes, bread and rice. Our quarter
master says our starvation days are over.
Very truly,
c. G. NORRIS.

Another Dewey Anecdote.

The Cleveland Plane Dealer publishes
the following excellent story about one
of Admiral Dewey's ancestors:
One of the several thousand gentlemen
in this city who went to school with
Cousin George Dewey of Montpelier and
Manila tells us that Cousin George is
descended from the Rev. Jedediah Dewey,
who preached in the Congregational
meeting house during the revolutionary
war, says the Chicago Post. This
reminds us that we have read in that
vastly diverting and accurate volume,
Jennings History of Vermont" pleas
ing story ofCousin Georges cody ances-
tor. 1t seems that the Rev. Jedediah
was holding services in honor OF the
victory at Bennington, and, as was
right and proper, was giving Providence
all the credit for the triumph of the
American arms. Ethan Allen, who was
present, chafed under this neglect of his
own part in the battle, and rising in his
pew in the very middle Of the "long
prayer" as it is called, said: "Parson
Dewey, Parson Dewey, Parson Dewey"
The clergyman stopped and opened his
eyes. The intrepid Allen went on
"Please mention to the Lord about my
being there" Not daunted by this out
rageous interruption the holy man
Numbered: "Sit down, thou bold bias.

FIBROID TUMOR
Expelled by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.

MRS. B. A. LOMBARD, Box II, West
dale, Mass, writes: ~ have reason to
think that Jwould not be here now If
it had not been for Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. 1t cured me Of
fibroid tumor in my womb.
doctors could donothing forme, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
will tell you about It.:
81 had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, I flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but It did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped If possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
"Upon examination, he found there
was fbroid tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
said she owed her life to 1t. / said I
would try it, and did. Soon after the
flow became more natural and regular.
I still continued taking the Compound
for some time. Then the doctor made an
examination again, and found every
thing all right. The tumor hadpassed
away, and that dull ache was gone"
1t can be truthfully stated that
such result can be accomplished by no
other remedy upon the market, and
forcibly proves the peculiar virtue of

(From our Regular Correspondent
DEAR CALIFORNIAN:
Little has occurred in the past few

The mysterious case Of Miss 7. E.
Osborne puzzled not only her friends, bot
likewise every one OF the doctors who
attempted to cure her.
For six years she was not able TO walk.
Most Of the time she was entirely helpless.
No one knew what allied her.
Miss Osborne lives at I26 North Seven
tenth Street, Richmond, Ind. Her father,
William Osborne, is one Of the best known
horsemen In eastern Indiana.
The young woman, when called Upon
recently to tell her story, was picture Of
good health. She said;

The crying need now, as at first, is for
pure water for drinking purposes, and
this defect seems in fair way to be
remedied. Just in front OF the camp, and
but few rods from the company street,
an artesian well is being sunk, its progress
from day to day eagerly watched by
crowds of thirsty men, to whom the
memory of the mountain streams and
hillside springs of Vermont seem some.
thing very vague aud far away. Seventy
five feet of solid ledge have been passed
and an abundant supply of water is
promised in the near future.
A large Y. M. c. A. tent for the use of
the brigade has been located near camp,
and supplied with the latest magazines
and papers and free supply of station
cry, proves valuable acquisition, afford
ing profitable and enjoyable way OF
spending the leisure hours.
Tomorrow we participate in our
second sham battle. Reveille will sound
at 400, and 6 O'Clock will see the column
well under way. The men look eagerly
forward to diversion OF this kind, for
though the battle is bloodless, and
though different spirit is in their hearts
than that which animated their fathers
in sterner strife on these same hillsides,
yet as they rally to the charge, the same
Yankee cheer and southern yell ring out
upon the ar-the thrill of battle gets
into the blood and for the moment the
young soldier forgets that this is only
preparation for, and not war itself.
Several of the companies are away on
forced marches of three and four days
duration, and our turn comes next week.
Each man will be equipped with Sibley
tent, blanket and gun, and though hard
and calculated to try the endurance Of
the men, these excursions are looked
upon as something of lark, and give
the men taste OF actual campaigning
which may be of service in the future.
The matter of securing the service OF
an experienced cook has been under con-
sideration for some time, and steps are
now being taken to secure one.
Each day brings us nearer the crisis
which either sends us homt or to the
front, and while many chafe at the mo-
notonous routine, and are impatient Of
the delay which keeps us from doing the
duty which as Vermonters we feel
belongs to us, yet these things, no less
than the discipline of an actual campaign
prove the temper and test the metal Of
Of the true soldier, and though we may
not be called to severer things thar
come to us here, yet lessons will be
learned which will be of value to us all
and our summer will be by no mean:
wasted.
