parade with seventy.fve men. They have made
extensive arrangements for the celebration of
their anniversary on Friday next, and all who
know of what material the old Blues are composed
need not be told that they will have most
glorious entertainment. We understand that an
invitation has been extended to all their honora:
ry members to participate with them, and that
they have accepted the invitation, and will turn
out In full force, under the command of One of
their old captains; and that q number Of dstin-
