VETERANS BANQUETING.
THE RE.TNION OF THE NINETY.
NINTH PENNhYLVANIA
REGIMENT.

The surviving mem bsrs of the Nine
|ty.ninth Pennsylvari Veteran keei
ment held their second annual 70. uniOi
last Saturday at Captain Abram oetley't
hotel in New Holland, Lancaster Coun,
ty, Penna. One year ago the survivors
formed an association, and Peter
Ayers, of this city, was chosen chair,
man.
There are 1856 members of the regi-
ment yet living, and of the " present
on Saturday all but one has baen
wounded. The regiment was organized
, early in July, 1861; and mustered in for
three years, and at the expiration Of
their term of service the members re-
enlisted, and served to the end of the
war.
The last of the veterans that attend.
ed the re union did not arrive at New
Holland until about Z o'clock in the
evening, and were met at the station
by q large delegation of citizens, head
cd by the New Holland Band, and es-
corted TO Captain Setley's hotel.
The time until o'clock was spent
in conversation, when the veterans
received the order, " Forward, march "
to the banqueting room, where taste
fully arranged table, laden with a
bounteous supply of substantials and
|delicacies, end ornamented with beau
tiful growing plants and bouquets
greeted them.
After being seated they were well
coined by Captain Setley, who ex-
pressed the hope that the occasion
might prove one Of enjoyment to all
present. After ample justice had been
done to the many good things. Major
Fasnach,, of Lancaster, chairman Of
the Committee of Arrangements, called
upon Lieutenant Peter Ayers, of this
lcity, who responded by expressing his
qualification that the association was
enabled once more to meet and recount
the events of their military career.
A number of toasts were proposed
and responded to, and just before mid
night the President declared the meet
| ing adjourned. The reunion proved a
happy occasion to all present and
served to cement still closer the bonds
formed between these men on the
bloody fields of Fredericksburg, Chan
cellorsvillG, Bull Run aud Gettysburg.
There are three of the survivors re-
siding in this city: Peter Ayers, the
well-known letter. carrier, William
Tay lor, q boss painter at jackson &
Sharp's, and Andrew Morris, engineer
at Pusey's mills, and each one of the
three has been wounded.
Mr.. Ayers passed through all the
hard fought battles in which this gal.
liant regiment participated, and escaped
with slight wound in the shoulder,
but on April 9th, 1865, in the last battle
in which the regiment engaged, while
he was acting adjutant, and bravery
leading his men in charge on rebel
battery, he had an arm so badly mutt
lated that it had to be amputatod. AT
that time he had served nearly four
years and never missed single en-.
gagement in which his regiment par
ticipsted.
