"A great many of the chief men and wo-
men OF our county VIII be here
We Offer these rewards not because the
boys and girls Of America need any other in

elusively entrusted N T. X he
was taken fromthe nest in Chippeway CO.,
Niseofsin, July, 1861, by a Chippew2Iy In5
dian, and by him presented to farmer near
by He was subsequently bought by a citi-
zen of Eau Claire, who presented him to
company Z, Sth regiment. The present
excellent commander of that company, Capt.
Wolf, gave him the name ABE, the name
by which heis uniformly known among us,
and to which he only deigns to answer
When the rpgiment. marched into Camp
Randall, the instant. theamen began to cheer

stant they did so, it was impossible to keep
MIN on his perch. He insisted on being
protected as well as they, and when liberia

there remained till the men arose, when
with outspread wings he resumed his place
Of peril, and held it to the close Of the
contest. .sl-s a-sEr
AT the battle Of Corinth, the rebel Gen,
Price having discovered him, ordered his

not kill him, adding that he would rather
get, that bird than tn whole brigade. Up-
on the whole he isa magnificent bird, and, Il
