STONEWALL JACKSON'S SCOUT.
He Was Wounded Sixty-seven Times
and Decorated By the Gear.

New Haven Comm Register: Major
Lamar Fontaine, who arrived in the
city yesterday morning, is probably
one of the most interesting veterans
of the confederacy. He is the only rep
resentative of Camp Sam Cammack of
Koohoma county, Mississippi, and dur
ing his stay in the city will be the
guest of Captain John Milledge on
Trinity avenue.
Major Fontaine has been a soldier
nearly all his life. and the story of his
adventures in all parts of the world
sounds like fiction.
He served in the Russian army dur
ing the Crimean war, and at the siege
of Sebastopol was decorated by Gear
Nicholas with the iron cross of honor
for daring bravery during the battle.
AT the time of the memorable charge
of the light brigade at Balaklava, Ma
jor Fontaine was 16 miles away, but
could hear the guns and see the smoke
of that famous battle.
After leaving the Russian army he
Travelled about the world in company
with an uncle, burt was living in the
south at the opening of the civil war,
and enlisted as private in the Tenth
Mississippi rifles, but was later trans
ferred TO company X, Eighteenth Mis-
regiment. While member of
this regiment, in August, 1861, he wrote
the well-known poem, ''All Quiet Along
the Potomac" which has since been
widely copied all over the world.
He began his war work with the con-

The entertainment furnished the rep

of any state as hosts. The people of
Boston and vicinity, irrespective of
membership in the order, welcomed all

were closed on the afternoon of the

Grand Sire Carleton said, in part:
Expansion is now the national cry

choose, by the sovereign grand lodge.
Not a year passes that its pure white
