THERE will be "Soldiers' and
Sailors Reunion" at Platteville on
the 4th of July next. The men who
did battle in the late war, whether
upon land or on the sea, together
with their ladies, are invited to lend
their presence on that occasion,
when there will be a display of the
colors of the 3d, 7th, 10th, 25th,
33d and 43d regiments. The Shulls-
burg Brass Band, which is composed
mostly of Gen. w. II. Sherman's
Headquarter Band during the war,
will revive the martial stratus so
long forgotten in the peaceful pur-
suits of civil life. A grand Torch
Light Procession and Fire Works
will close the exercises of the day.
The old Boys in Blue will be ad-
dressed by Hon. G. G. Hazelton and
others. The compliments of COL
II. Ii. Virgin, President of the asso-
citation, to be with them at their au-
spicious gathering, is acknowledged
by the fighting editor of the TRIBUNE.
No more imposing or better con-
Quoted procession ever paraded our
streets than that Of the st. Joseph
Society on Monday, under the mar
shalship of General Graber, and his
efficient aids. The costumes were
tasty and gracefully worn. The per-
