A rich story is told of the boys in the "a
regiment 1t seems that the men OF the 2oth
New JERSEY regiment had repeatedly stolen
the fresh meat from the Vermont boys in the
NIGHT. and appropriated it to their own use
Some of the Vermont boys thereupon killed
dog. dressed it neatly, and hung up the quar-,
ters in the Quartermaster's department. 1he
ssJerseys'' mistaking it for mutton, stole IT as
usnal and bore it off in triumph. The YER
! monters were on the watch, and ascertaIned
| that it was served up the next day upon the
table of some of the officers. The joke soon
became public and the ss.Jerseys" are greeted,
] when they visit the camps Of the Vermonters,
with a ssbow-wow-wow, by way of friendly
salutation. Burlington Free Press.
