quent, and fraught with good results. Such
meetings serve to keep the events of the
past fresh in their memories, and to knit
still closer the ties of friendship. The re-
union of the 10Th Ohio Volunteer Infantry,
according to previous announcement, took
place in this city yesterday. Although the
attendance was not large-regrets being ex-
pressed that there were not more of the en-
listed men present-still the regiment was
fairly represented. The meeting was held
in the afternoon at the Weddell House, and
those present had an interesting season.
1t was the anniversary of the muster-out of
the regiment. The next reunion will take
place at the West House, sandusky, August
18th, 1867, to which the ladies are invited,
and a general good time is anticipated.
The following is the roster of the COM
missioned officers of the regiment:
