WEBB, Deer Island, Boston Harbor. WAR RECORD, Sixteen years ago, civil war burst upon our land, the country was shaken from centre to circumference, and our school was summoned to do its duty. With the first months of the spring of 1861, many had left for the field, and ere the first blossoms had appeared we received news of the fall of some of our fellow students. The "East Maine Conference Seminary" wa§ taking position for participation in the bloody drama, and its- luminous record began with the death of Sergeant Smart at the head of his company, in the swamps of the Chickahominy. All through those summer and autumn months, our student ranks were depleting to swell the soldier ranks. Those who daily went to and fro on the hill, who declaimed " Spartacus," or " Bingen on the I^ine" from the chapel platform, or labo- riously conned Greek tenses and anathematized quadratics, followed each other from the school without a day's intervention ; and in reply to inquiries about their empty seats, "gone to the war" was heard. As they stepped over the threshold, their paths diverged, extending in a hundred directions, from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. It is with most filial regard that I offer you a meagre account of their war-life. History it is not, — each had his own, which is most truthfully written in the hearts and affections of those who loved him. Our honor to the living can add nothing to their renown; our tribute to. the dead can add nothing to their honor. Adelbert Ames.

May 30. Lieutenant Bailey was a graduate of Tufts College, class of '59, and gave promise of a speedy rise in the scholarly world In the service he immediately attracted the attention ot his superior officers, and his death ended what promised to be a brilliant military career. The following is an extract from his diary : " Sunday, October 19, 1862.-To-day is the anniversary of the birth of my little boy, now four years old. It seems but a few days since I lay upon the sofa, just recovering from a fever and heard his first salutation as he made his dehui upon this s'tage of life. Four years ! What a change has that time made in my condition, and that of the nation ! Then dwellmg in the sunshine of domestic happiness, peace all around ; now in the din of tumultuous war, deprived of the dear coir>forts of home. May He who holds all. nations in the hollow ot His hand bring us safely through the great trial." Charles A. Bailey. Ser-eant Bailey became a member of the Thirtieth Maine, February 3, 1864 ; was shortly after made Regimental Quarter- master-Sergeant ; and was mustered out, August 20, 1865. In a letter, Mr. Bailey says: "My 'record' is something I h-ive never considered of sufficient importance to make a note of I was o-hid at the time to be able to serve the country, in a very humble capacity even, and did so. Having tried to discharge my duty to the country, I settled down after the war, upon the consciousness of having done what I could. Neither the country nor my fellow-men owe me anything for that service, and I make no claims for recognition as a soldier. Mr. Bailey is now practising law at Oldtown, Maine. John L. Blake.

Geo. H. M. Barrett. Mr. Barrett was a member of the original District of Columbia Cavalry, enlisting, January 19, 1864, and being appointed Sergeant ; he was transferred to the First Maine Cavalry, in September, following, and was discharged, August 12, 1865 ; now practising law at Rockport, Maine. William B. Baker. Sergeant Baker became a member of the First Maine Cavalry, October 1, 1861 ; he was made Commissary Sergeant of Jiis Company, and was constantly with the regiment until May 11, 1864; in the fight of that date at Goodall's Tavern, one of the most spirited cavalry engagements of the war, he was wounded in the left leg, just below the knee, the bone being completely shattered ; he was in the act of mounting, and rode nearly a mile, when the suffering became so intense that he was obliged to dismount. Having no ambulances, it was necessary to leave him, and it was with many misgivings that I secured a mattress from a house, and left him on the piazza under the lindens. This house was the residence of Dr. Canthorn, who, though he had an only son in the Confederate service, was too much of a gentleman, and too true a physician, to fail to do all in his power for the ''blue jacket ;" and his wife and daugliters vied in their attentions. The neighbors for miles around came 11 to cqn verse with the Yankee soldier at Dr. Canthorn's, and went away with a different impression of that species of. the human race. Six weeks he w^as watched and nursed by the family, and every page of his diary attests their unwearied kindness. One of the neighbors, deeply embittered against northern soldiers, went to Richmond and reported that "Dr. Canthorn, out at Chickahominy, had a Yankee soldier, giving him the best the house afforded, and he would get well if he was not moved." Libby Prison authorities sent for the soldier. The good doctor accompanied him all the way, after tearful farewells from the family. June 22 he was received into the hospital; gangrene soon attacked his wound, and he died August 10. Dr. Canthorn's family have since been visited by Sergeant Baker's sister, and that acquaintance, with subsequent correspondence, has woven at least one strong thread towards reuniting the embittered sections of a common country. A. B. Baker. Mr. Baker became a member of the gallant Third Maine Battery, in November, 1861, and took an active part in that lively campaign in the Shenandoah Valley. Promoted to Corporal, and dischai'ged on account of disability, January 1, 1863. Grocer, 204 Broadway Square, Chelsea, Mass. Joseph A. Baker.

It is with a deep personal feeling that I speak of '' Gus," as we used to call him. He was a room-mate of mine, and I soon learned that beneath that outspoken, square-cornered exterior lay a true soul. Those who knew him will testify to his manliness, and his remarkable tenacity for doing what he thought was duty, regardless of consequences to himself. This trait was the cause of his early death. He became a member of the Third Maine Battery, in November, 1861. He was Company Clerk, and the business being left entirely to him, when he was almost prostrated with the " swamp fever," he would not give up the position, being fearful that others' ignorance of his duties would cause injustice to his comrades. He was not ordered to report 15 to the Surgeon, and when, as he was barely able to wield a pen. General McDowell came to inspect the Battery, he ordered him home peremptorily. Of him, as of so many others, it was said "too late," he living but twelve days after his arrival. He died on the fourth of April, 1862.

GiNN, Sixth Maine Infantry. S. D. GiDDiNGS, Tvy^enty-fourth Maine Infantry. Fred C. Howes. General U. S. Grant having been appointed Commander-in- Chief of the United States Armies, came to Virginia in April, 1864, to make his headquarters with the old Army of the Potomac. Having, as did Napoleon I., a decided ftiith in "strong battalions," he sent to the front many regiments doing garrison duty around Washington ; among these, was the First Maine Heavy Artillery, afterw^ards known as the Eighteenth Maine Infantry, to which Captain Hoaves belonged. The career of this regiment was destined to be short, bloody, and glorious. Having full ranks, it was nearly as large as some of the decimated brigades, and the officers and men being new to field warfare, were ignorant of the little subterfuges and expedients, by which many wounds are avoided and lives saved. At Spottsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbor, and the siege of Petersburg, it suffered severely. Captain Howes became a member of this gallant regiment, in July, 1862, was soon promoted to First Lieutenant, and in February, 1863, was commissioned as Captain. He at once evinced qualities of head and heart which secured to him the confidence of his superiors, and the respect of those under his command. Ardent, ambitious, and content with no inferior stand, he labored untiringly to make his company one of the best in the 25 regiment. He well sustained the character of an excellent and brave officer, till he fell, in the line of duty, in that fearful assault before Petersburg. Left without support, he, and hundreds of his comrades, fell where they fought. "Their's not to make reply, Their's not to reason why, Their's but to do and die : Though some one had blundered." He was shot dead before Petersburg, June 18, 1864. In a brief month of active duty was concentrated the work and blood of a war, Mrs. Howes writes: "After that time — his being ordered to the front in May — I received only three short notes, written in pencil, but all were so cheerful and hopeful of the final success of the Union Army. In the 'journal ' that came to us after his death, we learned something of the weary marches and the heart-sickenino- scenes that war brino;s." H. E. Hall. Joined the Second Maine Battery, August 12, 1862, and was through all the campaigns and battles of the Army of the Potomac. AVas promoted to Corporal, February 8, 1864, and mustered out of service, June 17, 1865. Agent of Howe Sewing Machine Company, Roseville, Illinois. James E. Hall. Lieut.

All those at work with him were killed, and he worked on alone, seeming to bear a charmed life. He was successful, and was ordered to the rear, that service excusing him from duty for the rest of the day.

Sergeant Knowles became a member of the First Maine Cavalry, September, 1861. He was one of those men who seemed by especial traits adapted to a military life, and his ser- vice warranted the belief. He was soon promoted in the ranks, and, but for a long imprisonment, would have risen higher. He was taken prisoner at Aldie, and was at Libby Prison and Belle Isle with myself, being released at the same time. Being taunted in a most insulting manner by Lieutenant Latouche, the Adjutant of the prison, he knocked him down a flight of stairs, at the head of which he happened to be standing. For this, Knowles was bucked and gagged, and stood up near a faucet of running water for seven hours. The running water just without reach, aggravated his terrible thirst, and he became so weak that he fell over on the floor, all the while being the recipient of the ribald jests of the officers of the prison. When released he was bastinadoed until insensible, and then put in a cell for the night. He was again captured in April, 1864, and was in Andersonville Prison fourteen months, dying shortly after being released. 31 Jabez W. King.

By general order the regiment is entitled to have inscribed upon its banners the names of more engagements than any other organization of the armies of the United States. Captain Montgomery was emphatically a fighting soldier, always volunteering, always on forlorn hopes, ever taking active part in extra duty.
