cordially greeted. There were in all some one
hundred and ten present, who had been con.
nected with the regiment. They were fine,
hardy looking set Of men.
Mr.. Lewis Selling of this city, who has been
active in arranging for the reunion, called the
regiment to order, and stated the objects OF the
meeting. As the regiment had been united in the
field, it was thought proper that its remnants
should be gathered up and a permanent associa-
ton formed for the purpose of holding annual re-
unions.
Capt. George S. Fuller of lIallowcll, was called
to preside temporarily. He took the stand. thank
ing his old comrades for the honor, and remarking
that he was much pleased to meet with them.
Lieut. II. A. Johnson, of Lynn, Mass, was
made Secretary. Lieut. johnson is the gentleman
who has been honored by rebel officer with re-
turn of his sword captured in battle. As he came
forward upon the platform he was greeted with
applause. He bowed his Acknowledgements.
On motion Of Mr.. Selling, the following COM
mittee was raised to ascertain the number present
from each company: Company A-John II. Rey-
nolds; B-R. Y. Crockett; CD. c. Morrison; d
Col. Sampson; E-A. F. Murch; F-C. n.
Maxwell; G-Charles Arnold; Holm H. Ba-
con; IL. II. Livermore; KS. A. Thurston ;
Field and Staff-Geo. E. Brickett; Banda s.
Bangs.
On motion of Mr.. Selling, Col. Moses b. Lake
man was made permanent chairman, by acclama-
ton. When Col. Lakeman came forward he was
received with three rousing cheers, rounding of
with "tiger." The Colonel said he wished he
could make q speech, but that was impossible.

derness when the fortunes of threw me into the
hands of the enemy, and this sword was taken
and it was not without q struggle both physical
and mental that gave it up.
The history of this sword since that hour is not
known to u.s. only this, that it fell into the hands Of
brave southern soldier and gentleman, and the
respect | have for Capt. j. c. b. Smith, Co. X,
18th South Carolina Infantry, is such as one true
soldier bears to another; for had he not been all |
have represented, there would have been no OPP
portunity for this second presentation. Very
likely this sword has been worn by my captor, and
used against our cause during the last few months
of the rebellion, but such are the tickle chances Of
war.
But comrades, the war is over and an event OF
the past, but its scenes and incidents will always
live fresh in our memories, and think 1t Is well
that they should, for it was struggle for princi-
pie, not glory justice not possession, and we have
a sacred right to cherish and keep fresh in our
minds all the fruits and results Of that contest.
We had a duty to perform then, and there is still
work and duty to be done now and in the future,
for if we wish to make our republic strong, one
section cannot alone do it; we must have the aid
and assistance of our southern brethren, and we
cannot work together harmoniously without we
understand and trust one another, and forgive and
forget past differences. We are all, l trust,
brothers of one common country, and one flag
protects us all, and the question OF more than one
government in our land, is think, forever set
tied, and more occasion for difference OF opin-
ion on that subject that war will be the medium Of
settlement There is no bloody chasm to be filled,
it having been bridged long ago by the better
Judgment of both sections of our country, and now
we must see that our restored southern brothers
have all the protection under the constitution that
any law abiding people entitled to, and must not
forget that it is human to er, aad that it Is harder
to shake hands with your victors, than II the case
was reversed
We know from dear bought experience that the
armies we faced in the field were made up Of as
brave men as ever shouldered musket, and we
also know brave people are usually consistent ;
know again that the masses of the south have &C
copied the situation and are trying to do their
part in ccmenting our country into a stronger and
more perfect whole. This is true, for the times
are ripe with incidents similar to the returning OF
this sword, and does not such acts, although
seemingly small in themselves, go farther in show

Making Il Warm for Him.

The Burlington Hawkeye says the
other night a man who lives out in Col
umbia street was kept down town by
business until a very late hour, and lis
wife, Knowing how cold he would be when
be cot home, put an iron on the stove,
aud when she heard him open the gate,
iumpel up and hurriedly wrapping the
iron in piece Of flannel chueked it into
bed for him TO warm his great ugly feet
by. The man was cold aud tacitufn sld
cross. He erawled into bed with = groWl,
and shaddered with cold as he stretched
himself out. Then he gave yell that
lifted to roof off the house, and jammed
his head through the head board, and
screamed fire, and Waited ont on the floor
and around the room in the dark, striding
rOcking-chairs and breaking his shins on
bureau corners, and knocking down brack-
cts with his shoulders, and upsetting one
or two things, and filling the darkness
with weird, fantastic profanity. When
his wife lighted the lamp they discovered
a beautiful photograph of fat-iron on
the bottom of that mans foot, and it was
found that the flannel had somehow got
of the foot-warmer. The man says that
hereafter, if he must sleep with hard
ware store, be wants il put in cold.

that the order Of a school is as much in

same IN the school room. And sgain,

Hay.

The hay crop Of the whole country is
about the same as last year. In all the
New England States, except Maine, there
was an increased yield, and in all of them
an improved quality. In some parts Of
Maine an increase Of swale hay Is noted.
In Berkshire, Massachusetts,, il is stated
that, though the crop is clean and nice, it
! less nutritious than last year. In the
middle States, except Pennsylvania, the
yield Is largely increased, and nearly al
the counties report an improvement in
quality. OF the South Atlantic States,
Maryland and Virginia show smaller
yield, but without any appreciable decline
IN quality. North and South Carolina
equal or exceed last years crop, with a
considerable Improvement. Iu the latter
State peayiue hay Is cured n increasing
quantities. Georgia. through drought,
loses 10 per cent, but maintains her
standard Of quality. Alabama loses 10
per cent, but the other Gulf States fully
e4ual last years yield, Texas showing an
Increase of Is per cent In quality,
these States show a decline Of about
) per cent. Drought, 20 injurious 10
other crops Of the inland Southern States,
has been felt severely by the hay-tarmers.
Arkansas declines 81 per eeut. Tennes-
zee, % per cent. West Virginia ~ per
cent, and kentucky, IS per cent, from
last years crop, while all show a very
serious decline in quality. German mil
Jet is successful crop in Tennessee. All
rhe States north Of the Ohio show declin-
ing yields, but nearly or quite maintain
the quality Of the crop. West Of the
Mississippi, Iowa alone equals her last
years crop. The quality is maintained,
except in Kansas and Nebraska. The
Pacific coast raised superior crop, equal
70 last years in Oregon and one-third
greater in California. In Kern County
Of the latter State, alfalfa has yielded
