observation-disclosures evening yer.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES evening very
pleasant occurrence took place at Camp Ber-
~. The members of the Veteran Reserve
Corps, Co. D, by permission OF Major Rollins,
took possession of their mess-room, and hav.
ing procured Chandler, Krebs and others to
give them some music, had pleasant and fes-
tive dance, in which they were joined by their
wives and many blooming ladies'.
At II o'clock the company was called to Or
der, and Mr.. Frederick Packard, the clerk,
with few neat and appropriate remarks, pre-
sented Capt. John A. Mcdonnell, their Com
mander and Executive Officer at this post,
splendid sword, sash and belt, in behalf Oh
Major Rollins and the members of Co. u, as a
token of their esteem for him both as an Of
flcer and man. The scabbard OF the sword
bears an inscription to the purport OF the
above.
Capt Mcdonnell was utterly surprised. He
had not had any limitations that such a
presentation was to be made, and it confound-
ed him not little But the gallant Captain
soon rallied and made suitable response-one
THAI brought warm plaudits from all assem-
bled, and at its close three hearty cheers were
given him. s
Major Rollins was now called out and vo-
eiferous cheers were given him. He excused
himself from making speech by saying that
he was not accustomed to it, he couldn't and
he wouldn't. @
After three cheers for Major Rollins, Capt
Mcdonnell, and the other officers at this post
and three more for the glorious old flag, the
company marched into the mess room of the
camp, where a fine collation. was served up.
1t was truly pleasant occasion. Every
one was happy, and the ladies entered into the
spirit of the thing as much as did the sol
dlers. When we left, preparations were going
on for another dance, which, no doubt was en-
ioyed.
We were informed by Major Rollins that for
three months there had been but one man de-
serted from this post. The number present in
camp that evening was about 700, including
the company OF Veteran Reserves, and The
company OF substitutes detached for guard
duty. A detachment of 261, it was expected,
would be forwarded to the front by the steam
er, Wednesday evening.
Every attention is paid to the comfort of
the soldiers, and the sanitary condition of the
camp, by Major Rollins; and better, more
comfortable and cleaner quarters cannot be
found anywhere. Capt. Mcdonnell is pro-
nounced one of the best of Executive officers,
and every way worthy of such a tribute as
was bestowed upon him Tuesday evening. n

lAtnual Report of the Board Of Mana
gers Of the Iosca County Bible Society,
In coming before you with the report Of our
work since the last annual meeting, we are
constrained to make confession of great lack
in coming up to the measure Of the trust
committed to our hands.
From causes which It is not necessary mere
10 recitc there was no annual meeting held
for 1864 1t will at once recur to your minds
that at the usual season for holding that meet
ing the public mind was in state of fever
ish excitement in regard to the result Of the
great conflict in which our country was en-
gagged.
As We this night are convened to present
an account of the condition of this society,
as well as the results accomplished since our
last meeting, it cannot be inappropriate to
distinctly recognize the hand Of the God Of
the Bible, in restoring peace to our beloved
country, and that this consideration 81 ould
stimulate all the friends of the Bible to re
ncwcd efforts 10 give the Gospel of the Prince
Of Peace to all the destitute within our
bounds.
The trcasurers account exhibits to you the
financial condition Of the society, from which
you will perceive that we have realized from
sales 3446, ST; from donations S297,02, out
of which sums, we have paid for freight on
books, county agents wages and expenses,
and expense of depository, S22O, 63--leaving
S. :, G3 to apply to the payment Of our debt
to the parent society and the purchase of
books.
We have books Oh hand in depository, say
| 1928 AZ, and in the branch societies about
! $129 90, making in al $s57,43 Deducting
/ this latter amount from our indebtedness to
! the parent society, viii reduce our dcbt to
about SI23-whereas but a few years ago We
were indebted to the parent society beyond
our assets some $500.
You viii see from the above exhibit that
our stewardship has not been entirely unfruit
| full We cherish the hope that it may be
the privilege Of those who succeed US in tho
management of the society to report at the
next annual meeting that it IS entirely cut O
debt, and that the destitute within our bounds
have all been supplied with the Word o
Life.
The eight branch societies have all beer
visited and elections for officers held, and
general canvass Of the County made for 1864
also for the present year. There is muct
difficulty in obtaining proper persons at al
the points where we have branches to conduc
She business in a satisfactory manner.
This city has been cauvasscd, with the ex
ccption Of one district, pretty thoroughly
aud from the result it is evident that the peo-
PIE only need to be reminded of their duty t,
this good cause, and the interests of perish
Ing world, to respond to these claims.
Respectfully submitted.
