A DRILL.-The National and the En-

morrow evening, at Armory Hall, to
which the public are invited to attend, in
consequence Of which the ball for the ben

week. Since the war the ranks of these
companies have been diminished, by the
members not taking that interest in them
which prevailed during that time. Now,
we hope to see a revival of interest in our
home troop. as it is not only a muscular
exercise, but one which may be Of use at
some future day. We hope that our stall
wart young men will join these compa-
MES, and fill up their ranks.

"Takes Care of the Children
Lait paster Nv the Church Nv the n
pensashun.

The fortieth annual report of the American
Sunday School Union proves it to be taking
care of the children, having reached over a
quarter of a million by organizing and aiding
nearly 5000 Sunday Schools, mostly in desti-
tute settlements in a single year. It's Mis-
sionaries are looking closely after the little
folk in our own State.
We notice that in six months this society
organized $50 new Sunday Schools in Wis.
conSin and Minnesota, and picked up and
brought into them over 5000 scholars and
teachers, distributing quantities of testaments
and Sunday School books among the poor
We learn the urgent need for such labor
from the facts stated in the report and circu-
lar, :" that there are 275, 900 children in Wis
consin and Minnesota, and over tOur millions
in our country growing us without moral Gull
ture or bible instruction" These multitudes
will be crowding criminal courts and
prisons very soon, if not reached by some
such reformatory agency as the Sunday
School
This National Society, protesting TO be un-
sectarian in character, is one of the great
agencies well fitted to bring about the need
ed reform. We hope it may have abundant
success.

To the WOOl- Growers of Wisconsin.

The undersigned, committee on Wool for
the Soldiers Home Fair, to be held in Mil
waukee, commencing on the 2Sth day of June
next, desire to invite the Wool-Growers of
the State to assist in making the Fair sue
cess, by contributing from the coming clip
such a number of fieeces as each one, ac-
cording to his means or the number of his
hocks can afford. 1t is intended to exhibit
in a separate department all the wool donat-
ed, and we feel confident that your liDerality
will make it one of the most inter esting fea-
lures of the Fair.
The proceeds of this Fair are to be used
exclusively in establishing permanent Sol
diers' Home for sick and disabled soldier, who
have no homes where they can be properly
cared for In making this special appeal to
Wool. Growers, we feel that little need be
said Can the people of the State do less for
these brave but unfortunate men, who have
lost their health and strength to save and
preserve us a country, than to provide an
asylum where these war-worn heroes may in
quiet and comfort spend the remainder of
their allotted days? Will the present or
coming generation have more pleasing duty
to perform than this, in the return for the
much they have done for us?
The prospect for success in this enterprise
is very favorable, and the several committees
nave DeeU UleI ON from
all parts of the State, and we are confident
that you will not be behind the merchant,
the mechanic the farmer, or the wives and
daughters of the State.
Will one or two whele-sootled men in each
town take it upon themselves to see their
neighbors and urge them to join them IN
sending in their feeces?
We are especially DESTROYS of getting
heeces for exhibition from the best breeders
in the State, and will, during the Fair, give
our personal attention to such donations, and
see that they are properly noticed and appre-
ciated Wool should be in good condition,
but if not in good order do not be deferred
from sending.
Let us hear from you by towns, neighbor-
hoods, and individually, as to what we may
expect, at as early day as possible. Single
feeces should be put up in paper, that it may
be received as clean as may be. All packag-
es should be plainly marked with the names
of the donor, and sent to Soldiers Home
Fair, care of II. 7. Thompson, Milwaukee.
1t is important that each fleece or package
be plainly marked with the donors name, as
the committee intend to prepare handsomely
executed certificates, and send to each
donor
Station agents on the several railroads will
receive and forward packages free of ex-
pense In conclusion, wes urge that you re-
member the Soldiers Home, in washing and
shearing time, and in Fair time, by your pres
ence; give it your approval.
