ade turned out in fine style, and all passed of
well. We noticed corps composed of the sur
viving veterans of the war with Great Britain in
1912, 10 and IA, who served in the defence Of
this City and our country in that eventful period,
who within the past five days have been re6rgan-
lied in the command Of Col Nicholas Haights
They numbered over $50, and all showing the
marks of 36 years Of time, this day, since their
last parade. Their presence speaks in stronger
language than words can express to the present
and rising generation, that their country and her
institutions to be protected by citizen soldiers
instead of standing armies.
