at S25 each, on conditi ~ that, during the com
ing week other citizens Of Worcester would sub
scribe enough to make up the number to one hun
dred rifles.
several gentlemen subscribed for rife. and
sent their names to the chair, and before the au
dience left the hall twenty three rifles, equivalent
to the sum of 1878, were subscribed for. Mr..
Thayer's generous proposal was received with

securing the material aid necessary"

iihes is at least equal TO his love If peace.
