PRACTICAL as we'll as patriotic and entirely
In line with the very excellent and valu-

by our sister society Of the war of 1872
The effect Of Cassin's victory cannot be
underestimated and It is hoped that
means may be derived whereby a men,
orial commemorate with the Importance

There seems to he very little exact or

the matter and believe that the docu-
