resented that portion of the city which is in
Bloomingdale.
When in Otsego the other day we missed

We. with several other comrades and the
band, attended the unwilling of the soldiers
monument at Otsego on Saturday, the 29th.
The pedestal was crowned by the statute of
a soldier in full uniform. and cut from Ital
ian marble the whole being twenty feet
high. The programme was carried ont as
follows, and under the immediate command
of Acting Commander Mix. Decorating the
graves, then repairing TO the hall where a
boun.iful repast was spread by the Otsego
ladies to which all soldiers were invited to
pdrtake while the ladies stood 10y and antici-
pated every want. After the inner man was
satisfied (which by the way occupied about
two hours we repaired TO the Opera Hall
where ten little girls presented us with but
ton hole bouquets. We then marched to the
grove at the school house where seats were
erected for our accommodation. The acting
commander introduced the speaker of the
day, Capt +. NJ Allen of Ypsilanti, who
made very good speech, followed by music
by the Gobleville band and singing by the
choir. BY the way the band had eaten so
much that il was with difficulty they could
play nevertheless they acquitted them
selves TO the satisfaction of those who were
equally well filled. After the speaking the
parade was formed and marched TO the GEM
etery where the unwilling was performed
with impressive ceremonies. Marching
back to the city we were again urged to
:" fill up" which we proceeded TO do. espec-
tally the band. Otsego is a nice little city,
we'll located, with as good water power,
probably, as there is in the state, and the
inhabitants and particularly the ladies are
noted for their whole-souled generosity and
hospitality. and the Gobeville Post wishes
in this public manner to express their
thanks for favors received. The turn out
was not as large as was expected, only about
100 soldiers taking part in the exercises.
We estimated the people at twelve hundred.
