Comrade w. C. Dove, Eaton, Ohio, writes us

is in a Furnishing condition. 1t started April
LIST with forty-two members, and now musters
seventy-six, with six applications on file. He

Comrade w. c. Dove, S. NJ, and correspond
ent of Mulharem-O Cain Post, No. 8, Eaton, O.,
writes us as follows: The officers and comrades
of our Post with District NJ. o. Flenner, went
to West Manchester, o., on the 10Th ult., and
mustered a new Post at that place, with twenty
two charter members. 1t is expected that two
or three more Posts will be established in this
county.
Comrade o. n Bartholomew, Springfield, O.,
who sends us six new subscribers, writes that
at the last meeting of Mitchell Post, No. 10, of
that place, he was appointed agent and CORE
spondent for THE TRIBUNE. He adds: 1.-THE
paper is very much appreciated by the boys
here, and they say they cannot do without it.
They are determined TO stand by it because it
is doing so much to secure right and Justice for
the old veterans. Commander VIM. I'll. Grant
has written to ex-President Rutherford b.
Hayes requesting him to deliver the Memorial
Day Grafton on May 80, 1884, at Springfield,
and has received a favorable answer"
Comrade c. J. Madden, Urbana, Ohio, writes
us as follows: w. A. Brand Post, of this place,
has received and distributed badges to all of its
members, and now an effort is being made to
procure uniforms. To make a financial start
in this direction, we held an ice cream and
strawberry festival on the evening of the 22d
ult Notwithstanding the fact that there was
a good deal going on to attract people to other
entertainments. we were well patronized Our
tables were crowded during the evening with
the best citizens of our city. The 'old vets'
had a good solid time, and cleared about $50
for the Post treasury. Since this public ex-
preston of the feeling towards us on the part
of our people, we feel that in this section, at
least, the soldier is mot played out" In our
county the soldiers have but little to complain
of Our county officers have nearly always
been filled by MANNED and disabled soldiers,
and this is so to-day, the last appointment
being S. B. Price, a one-legged vet of the Sixty
sixth o. V. l., to the Office of postmaster. He
takes the place of an ex-soldier who filed the
position for fourteen years. In my last COM
municati0n you have me signed as Post Com
mander; this is mistake. Capt. Hamilton, of
the Sixty sixth o. V. l., is Commander.
