in the battles at Cedar Creek, Win
chester, etc., of which Gen. Stephen
Thomas is taking leading part. His
regiment will hold camp fire on
Fishers Hill. Gen. Thomas has
tickets for sale, round trip, from
Fitchburgh or Boston, Mass, for
$50 or $40 after Sept. LIST. The
tickets pay board until parties start
to return. The excursion will be of
great interest to all soldiers who par

valley. Address Gen. S. Thomas at
Washington, VT, for information,
tickets, etc.

the north end of the lake next Fri
day. Suitable preparations will be
made for the grove meeting, boats
will be provided for boat-riding, sta
BILE room furnished and everything
done for the pleasure and accommo-
dation of those who attend. Quite a
large number will accept the invita-
ton and a meeting, to which all are
invited, will be held at the Brick
church at o'clock, Tuesday evening
to perfect arrangements. 1t is ex-
pected that all, who cannot provide
means themselves, will have oppor-

in the schools and all others who wish
to enjoy day at Willoughby ought to
accept this opportunity, going them
selves, and helping others to spend a
day most pleasantly.

where he bought valise and other
articles of Fred Cheney, paying out

Fred surveyed him quite carefully,
and noticed that he wore a narrow

mixed clothes, and that he was a
