Verltable charger" beauty ON dress
parade and playful as kitten. Tommy
Ryan was hostler, and would ride the
sleek animal anywhere, attracting much
attention. There was in the Regiment
young officer named Stevens-Sergeant
Major, we believe, who wanted to cut
military swell in town one day, and bor-
rowed the Colonel's horse, as 1T was too
muddy to walk" the half-mile Arrayed
in stunning pair of buckskin gauntlets
that reached nearly to his elbows, with
boots highly polished, he mounted the
glossy black and pranced out of camp.
But no sooner was the horse outside the
guard-line than he felt free from the re-
straint of military discipline, and tossed
the young man off in the mud.
The officer got up, placed the bride rein
over his arm, and walked to town, and
back to within few rods of camp when
he mounted and rode in, the wonder and
admiration of the camp. 1t was long
time before the boys got done laughing at
that officer, who could not walk to town
because of the mud, but could walk in the
middle of the road and lead horse

From the above 1t will be that the Fiftythird
Regiment is complete in its organization and that it
has at this time 965 men; (almost maximum regi-
ment.) Recruitsng is still going on, and in a very
short time the Eifty-third will number 1000 men.
They are physically, perhaps, the best Regiment of
men Ohio has ever sent to the field.
Owing to the temperate habits and cleanliness of
person of the men, they have enjoyed an immunity
from disease hitherto almost unknown in camps. But
during the last few days, measles have made their
appearance in some of the companies which has
dered 80 or 60 men unfit for duty but we hope soon
again to report all for duty and rations Tomorrow
expect the remainder of arms when we will
be ready to march for DiIie. More anon.s
