CAMP RUMORS.

ddJ IIOIlI 1SCI IulIIllS OIlCCIS III huIldnl
county, by Mag. Salisbury, Battalion
Commander, showing very enthusiastic
appreciation of the occasion, and enter
tainment expected.
The town of Rutland has one COM
pany for the reunion fully organized,
with full ranks, one hundred strong, and
another Company is started, with every
prospect of being full in a short time.
Cambridge, Lamoille county, and
Chittenden, Rutland county, each report
twenty men already enlisted, and give
assurance that they will each be repre-
sented at the Reunion by quarter of
hundred men.
Governor Converse and wife will be
the guests of Charles Clement, Esq, on
the visit of the executive to Rutland to
attend the Reunion.
Hon 'Trenor w. Park, Of Benning-
ton, and Lieut.. Gov. Russell S. Taft, of
Burlington have accepted the invitation
of the Committee to be present during
the Reunion
The Commander-in-C Chief desires us
to say that all bands of music attending
the Reunion will he carried free upon
the cars both to and from Rutland.
The Freeman, in lengthy editorial
on the Reunion, relates many pleasant
stories of the service, goes gently for
the adiutant of the fifteenth rs mathe-
matician, and then pays its respects to
the major of the twelfth as follows:
That major is going to provide the ra-
/ tions for this little party at Rutland, and
/ ii there isn't good time it will not be
/ his fault The major missed it, though,
/ that he did not take a commission in the
cavalry. Well do we remember cross
! inc stream in the midst of which stood
/ a stccd on which that majestic form,
like sweetness, sat enthroncd. We the
more distinctly remember the scene
4 from the fact that, as the stecd drank,
/ the Quartermastcr asked Us il we
wouldn't take something. As quarter
master lie had charge of lots of things
/, that were handy to take on a march.
Col A s. Tracy and Col. L. f.
Knapp, of Middlebury, will at once
make a tour of inspection of Addison
county, where it is reported that great
enthusiasm prevails. We shall expect
glowing article in next weeks Register.
The major of the twelfth feels that
the Ouartemaster of his old regiment
did not get his share Of the eulogy we
quoted Yesterday from the Montpelier
Freeman. The item quoted would un-
doubtedly apply equally to either of
them, and we apologize to the Q. NJ. for
omitting the paragraph where he was
declared to be the better horseman.
One of the most pleasant features
of the Reunion will be the Regimental
reunions. The 10th already has an or
ganization, and will hold their annual
meeting during the Reunion, and it is
expected that the other regiments will
form organizations of their Reunion
Societies upon this occasion.
The Brattleboro Pb0enir says, GA
meeting of old soldiers was held at the
town hall last Tuesday evening in fur
| therance of the movement for a reunion
at Rutland. About fifty have thus far
signifed their intention to be present by
appending their names to the roll of the
Brattleboro company. The movement
awakens considerable enthusiasm in
some localities, and the attendance bids
fair to be large"
Gen. Charles Devens, Jr., of Wor-
cester Mass, has written that he will
be present and speak at the Reunion.
Gen. Devens and Gen. Hawley will be
the principal speakers, and both stand at
the head of American orators. The
former delivered the address on General
Meade at the reunion of the army of the
Potomac at New Haven in May, and it
was pronounced on all hands as one OF
the most eloquent and able productions
of the kind that any audience ever list
ened to- He is now the Grand Com
mander of the G. A. r. of the United
States, and will be accompanied in his
visit to Rutland, by Col. Atwood, his
Adi't. General, and by Gen. Sprague,
Quarter Master General.
A FEARFUL LESSON FOR JUVENILE
sNoKERs.-A young lad of about twelve
summers was seen from the window OF
a Glens Falls newspaper office the other
dav. cutting up antics seldom witnessed
outside the walls of a gymnasium. he
was smoking piece of grapevine when,
by mistake, he dropped the ''darned
thing" right into the open breast OF his
shirt. The warmth generated by thai
smouldering stub plus the natural tenn
perature of his body was too much fol
even barefooted canaller. He claspeC
his straightened fingers over his abdo
men Quicker than we tell it and doubled
himself into position for the game Of
sEleap frog" instanter, at the same time
opening to the breeze that portion OF
his under garment usually kept concealed
His yelps were more from terror at wha
might happen than from actual pain
for that hot stub seemed to be in clever
different places at once. Slap went thu
left hand on the right leg, followed
quickly by the right hand on the lief
! leo. and then both hands together oil
each LEG successiyely, till at last tina
boy with his extinguished stub, extend
ed undershirt, open mouth and protrud
ing eyeballs lay sprawling in the neares
!, mud-puddle. He don't smoke grape
vine now.
