Soldiers Fair at springfield.

The Young Mems Christian Commits
sion Of Springfield, Mass, propose to
hold fair for the benefit OF sick and
wounded soldiers, on the 18th, goth,
DIST and ODD days Of Dee, 1864 Mr. G..
f. Nutting, on behalf OF this Commits
sion, has visited ST. Adams and vicini-
ty with the view of bringing this matter
to the attention of Our benevolent peo-
pie, and has met with a cordial recep-
ton. 1t will be remembered Athat
Springfield has received and cared for
at the Soldiers Rest in that city nine
thousand two hundred and forty three
men, mostly sick and wounded-re-
turning from the hospitals at the
Front TO those Of Vermont and New
Hampshire, Five thousand Of these
were from Vermont. Immediate DO
nations to this Fair, either of money
or produce or other articles will be ac-
ceptablc If the latter they can be
transmitted by railroad without ex-
pense addressed to the Soldiers
Fair, Springfield, Mass
We trust this Fair will be cordial,
and promptly encouraged by liberia
donations, especially when it is consid
cred how much has been already don
for our own soldiers there. and hoy
much will be done hereafter for then
by the benevolent citizens of Spring
field.

B2y- The ST Adams Messenger trum-
pets to the world that it has received
new subscriber, in the person of
Bennett II. Young, the bank robber
who led the gang Of thieves and muir
derers on their raid into St Adams,
October 10th The Messenger is SO
much delighted with The fact and the
money the young thief sent, that il
prints the letter and pockets the in
suits and the money the letter con-
tanned. Our contemporary is perhaps
not wise in pocketing either the insult
or money. With regard too the i'm
pudent letter published by the Hes
senger, it ought never to have been
noticed at all, and as regards the mon
ey, it ought to have been sent back at
once to the robber, with an intilnation
that money obtained by blood and
robbery can never be received by al
honorable printer, and that a partakel
is always as bad as the thief.

The last call Of the President for

OF the 100000 asked, Indiana was re-
ouired to furnish 1905. She was, how
ever. credited with an excess under the
cail for 500, 900 Of 1859. which was ex-
elusive Of ss-enlisted veterans, and in
clraed ouly such recruits "a were mus
tered into service prior 70 March /, 1864,
leaving still to be raised by The State
3 o6a men. As stated before, 4,97T
~ere mustered in during last mouth,
which gives the State an excess of l,9ue
over its quota, without counting vet
erans
