at the Depot, who bid them farewell with
twice three cheers for the success Of the com

ny On Wednesday evening there was a
very interesting service at the Village Hall,
on the presentation Of the material supplies
handsomely provided by the ladies, and tes-
tameut to each man for his spiritual instruo-
tion and comfort. Rev. Isaac McAnn, Of the
Methodist Church, delivered an eloquent ad-
dress, and Capt Randall responded. Hon
Daniel Baldwin gave gold dollar to each
man Of the company May the national coin
prove a constant reminder to each man Of the
national service 10 which he is engaged. It
was handsome present and happy thought.
But let not one point in Capt. Randalls re-
ply be forgotten take good care of the fami-
