Conrad Schatfer,
CO Capt. Conn's company, from Moscow,
came in the train Tuesday evening, destined for
Camp Strong. A company from Mechanics
vile, Cedar county, came through in wagons,
arriving here at six O'clock They were pre-
ceeded by two brass bands Each of these
companies have fine set of men. They are
for the 35th.
- We visited camp Sunday afternoon,
and had the pleasure of taking supper with
Capt. Johns company. TWAS first rate meal,
far beyond our expectations. We also wit
messed the German Drill, and heard the per-
Torrance by the Brass band' of this compa-
to us. They occupy the first of the series of
barracks erected for the 35th. Keller has
the last one south, and Capt. Hill the next.
Doran and Bermester are near the center
The barracks are all finished and present quite
fine appearance. The camp is beginning to
assume quite military appearance, guards
being stationed by the oath.
FLAG PREsENTATIoN-The German ladies'
of this city presented Capt Burmeister's COM
pany with an excellent flag, Monday NOR
ming, at fremont Hall. The presentation
speech was made by Mrs. Eicholz, in few
neat and pertinent remarks, after which, Eli
choff's band performed the Star Spangled
Banner. The response was made by Capt.
Burmeister, in feeling manner, after which,
Henry Funk, Esq, sang the good old national
tune, the Star Spangled Banner being joined
in the chorus by the entire assemblage. The
flag is splendid one and with this company
to bear it aloft, will never be disgraced.
tyY There is great excitement in the North
Western part of this State, over reported
Indian invasion. The people Of that section
of country have cried ''wolf" so much that
credit is hardly give1 to this version. Our
authorities, however, seem to consider it wor-
thy of attention, Gen. Baker having sent am
munition and arms to Fort Dodge for the use
of company raising there, to proceed against
them. Would it not be a good plan to enroll
the "crippled brigade, send them there with
wagons, and furnish each man an arm chair,
or if it would suit him better, rocking chair,
and armed with gongs and tin pans and fight
them after the Chinese fashion. We would
at least have the advantage of numbers
HIGH OLD TIME-Dr. Hershe still rms -
Yesterday his office was as much crowded as
any day since he began enlisting his ''bri-
gade." What motley crew he will have
The halt, the lame and blind. The buglecyed
sprung kneed, hollop'-chested, crooked legged
handy shanked, weak-baclscd, crooke armed
sprain- ankled, acknowledgement, bone-shat
tered, sunken-shouldered, and other diseases
too numerous to mention. Some didn't know
what "ailed' them exactly, but there was
something carrying them off fast. Diseases
of all kinds and character-some that had
others that had never, been heard of in medl
cal colleges. One man, having read veteri
nary surgeons work, told the Doctor he hat
the poleevl! He was exempted on accoun
of something being the matter with his head
1t is amusing to one not interested to watcf
them; and yet to see the anxiety some mel
who are able to 60 have to evade the draft
and the frivolous excuses they offer, is dis
gusting.-Daily, 3d.
