Carver and Henderson, and from the
latter place he will strike across the
country. He will make light marches
and reach this place about noon Tues

Capt Halbert, commanding the Luz
verne Guards, writes Col Bobleter
that he is coming to camp with every
man in the company, The company
will be temporarily assigned to the Sec
ond regiment and will do duty the
same as other troops. AS this company
will not receive the per diem paid other
troops, their determination to be pres
ent at and do duty in camp is to be
4 commended.
Those of our citizens who have sub.
scribcd to the encampment fund and
have not yet paid in are respectfully
requested to do so between now and
another trip,as it has its hands full with
other matters. If the committee has
failed to call on anyonesswho is DESTROYS
of contributing something towards de-
fraying encampment ex2enses-and
they will be heavy-their contributions,
however small, will be thankfully re-
ceived by either Henry Crone or Col.
Bobleter.
Henry Frenzel and Anton Brey
/ have been awarded the sutler privileges
- for the encampment. They have also
taken the contract for the officers mess.
They will erect u building 25x100 feet
pear the guard tents at the main en-
trance and visitors at the camp can al
ways refresh themselves with q cool
glass of lemonade. Lemon beer, cider,
carbonated waters of all kinds, cigars,
tobacco, ice cream, oranges, ETC., will
: also be kept for sale. The boys say
they will have the best the land affords
and their prices will be moderate.
Rock County Herald:-The Lu-
verne Guards have received an invita-
ton from COL Bobleter to attend the
encampmcnt of the Minnesota National
N Guards at New U!m from the Esd to the
3Oth inst. and the probability is that the
invitation will be accepted. Free trans
portation to and IRON the encampment
will be furnished and tents etc., will be
provided for the boys at the encamp-
ment, together with ''wood, water, ice
and straw" The only expense the
bows will incur will be the cost Of their
provisions while in camp. Most OF the
boys have signitied their desire to go
and Capt. Halbert has informed the
Colonel to this effect. The End regi-
) ment, the St. Paul Cavalry and the Fl.
Smelling battery will join in the encamp-
mcnt.
