The boys In blue >" are congratulating
themselves this winter upon their we'll
stocked cellars. Vegetables in abundance,
all of home production. Potatoes are is.
sued gratuitously at the rate of ! Il pounds
daily TO each man, and each company>il
the garrison has loads of picklcs1of all
varieties cabbage, onions, &c., and
"we'uns" appreciate the bad lands at any
rate.
Amuscments this winter are plentiful.
Under the present commanding officer, Col.
o. II. Moore, legitimate amusements meet
with every encouragement, and though you
| Bismarckers may consider US on the out
side of Auerica., stiitttt with OUT minstrel
troupe, our German :heater comique, and
our weekly concerts by the band, we con.
| sidef ourselves quite comfortably situated
for the winter.
The Buford minstrels have been running
all winter and meet itth contnuet succrss
The German thcatcr comique opened Dec
9th toa large and appreciative audience.
Their entertainment was very good, and
will soon be repeated.
We are fortunate in possessing at this
post q good regimental band, that of the
9th infantry, and we are indebted to its
leader, Chief Musician Stigler, for some
very fine music.
Col. Moore has introduced this winter q
new feature at the weekly concerts, and
that is an orchestra, composed of about
i eighteen members of the band Its instru-
/ mentation being yioiins, clarioncts. flutes,
comets, tr1...ecnes, tr1..:.eecnes violincello aud doaLia
bass; and occasionally you need only to
shut your eyes to imagine yourself In God 8
country waiting for them to ring up on the
first act. Verify music hath charms.

cares, but smiling and contented Mr..

WHO find him always accommodating and

out transgressing the necessary discipline
Of the post.
| The Indians arc all quiet in this vicinity,
though reports sometimes reach us of in
tended raids and contemplated midnight
bont1rcs. 1t is thought. however, that they
will count the cash and not the "coos.''
McGarvcy and johnson, mail carriers
from this pointto Bismarck, are doing the
work better than it was ever performed be-
fore, and give general satisfaction along the
route. What we need now is a semi.weck-
ly mail, and then we could rest contented.
