2446 - L. Dec. 8:4/3 - Rev. J. S. C. Abbott spoke last night at Brain- -
ard's hall on "Our War and General Grant." He related the incident of Gen-
eral Grant's firing a pistol at the age of two; also of the drubbing he
gave an English boy for calling Washington a traitor. He gave a summary
of events which occurred in the private and public life of General Grant
and closed his remarks by alluding to the peace-and-armistice element, in
a delightful and comprehensive manner. (8)
