The column of counties in grand STYLE with the
name Of Harrison and Tyler nj mast head. In
he language OF their brave old General, they ex-
claimed" Here are the Green Mountain Boys,
there is the enemy, aud either lie strikes his flag

" INDIAN COUNTY, was well represented by
her hardy yronianry, and her determined spirit
was fully expressed Ivy spirited mottos and in.

is nislaid.
RUTLAND County, was largely represented -

ADDISON COUNTY came next, with very large
array OF frccmen, displaying great variety OF the
emblcms of rural life accompanied 10y numerous
significant notices. log cabin ON wheels, drawn
