We say 70 the Manito-pdlkers, We will
not be backward here, in Sheboygan, in
doing our share, for the road is Of vital in

addition to the land donated for the same

SOLDIERs' NAMEs.-In answer to a
request in this paper short time ago.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Mark, of Attica, one Of the
"Old Settlers" and staunch Republi-
cans of Indiana Township, has pre-
pared and handed US a full list, as
complete as he could make it, Of all
men who enlisted as soldiers from
that Township during the late war.
The list numbers one hundred and
three names. Six of these patriots
viz: Smith Banta, Lieut.. VIM. Cath
cart, G. A. Feagin, Alex. May, James
Nicholas and Jesse Sherwood-were
killed in battle. Twenty-Five others
died from wounds or sickness. The
remaining seventy-five are, as we un-
derstand the list, at home now.
In making the request in the paper,
we asked only the number Of soldiers
from each TIP. But Mr.. Mark has
furnished more: he has taken the
pains to furnish full list Of their
names. arranged in alphabetical order.
We thank him very much for this
kindness; and shall file away the list
carefully for future reference. If each
Township in the County would pre-
pare a similar list, and add the COM
pany and Regiment to which each
soldier belonged, with his rank, pro-
motions, term of service, wounds or
incidents, &C., it would form valua-
bic document. Carefully prepared, it
could be printed in pamphlet form
and distributed in each Township.
What do you think Of it. comrades?-
We may add that it is difficult print
a great many names in a newspaper
at one time, on account Of the extra
number Of Capital letters. &C., re-
quired to have them all in type at
once.

last Monday, was pretty well attend
ed, and very pleasant and sociable.
There was a bountiful dinner, graced

that the ladies generally did not
look anywhere near SO old as one
would have expected in gathering

Of this County for twenty years.
Long may they, and all the others.

have by right acquired that title,
according to the rules of the Associa-
ton, we obtained the following
