rhe.Ennmetn. Erta


HTst regiment nave at last arrived. 1neY ar
rived yesterday, and appear to be of poor
quality. The coats are dark blue and the
trousers Of a sky blue color The overcoats,
which were sent on Saturday, have been con-
demned as unfit for use, and are to be sent
back. They are miserably poor, and ought
never to have been sent to good soldiers like
the men Of the ftly-irst.
The stormy days prevent company drills,
and the men enjoy themselves in variety of
ways indoors Last night Il space was
cleared in the barracks and grand dance to
the music of merry tunes, lghtened and
cheered the hearts Of the soldiers. The men
in camp seem to know how to enjoy them
selves.
Lieut.. j. Martin Gorham, Of the Barre COM
pany, fifty-fourth regiment, was on Saturday
afternoon, presented with handsome sword
and belt by the members of his company; the
presentation speech being made by Lieut.
Geo. P. Sanger, and responded to by Lieut.
Gorham. Lieut.. Sanger wears the sword
used by the late Lieut.. Nelson Bartholomew;
it being presented to him by intimate personal
friends.
The mustcring-in officers will visit both
regiments to-day.
The annual drill OF the fire department will
be on the 22d. They will parade through the
principal streets with band of music in the
forenoon; and in the afternoon there will be
a practical exhibition of their skill and ability
as firemen, on the common.
