The pic ture is from the National capitol and is taken from the original drawing by Thomas O'Dea, late private of Company F, Sixteenth regiment Maine infantry volunteers. The main illustration gives a view of the prison and its inmates, showing thousands of boys in blue who were unfortunate enough to be confined within the In closure. The sentry boxes on the high fence are shown as well as the dead line within the stockade. Out side of the main picture is series of illustrations showing the details attending the incarceration of Union | men within the Confederate lines their efforts to escape, hunting fugi. tives with hounds, the carting away of the dead, and score more histori. cal scenes. This picture will decorate the walls of the assembly hall of the Sons of Veterans in the Rubin block and the members feel justly elated ir its possession. not only for its his @pric worth. but from the fact that this treasure has been awarded tt the representatives of small Dor ough like Naugatuck over the many places of greater importance in the | state.
