The Band Banquet,

An impromptu yet very pleasant af-
fair was the banquet given TO the Ros-
common band Thursday night by the
members OF the Gaylord City Band.
Ice-crealn, lemonade and cake was
served, s. w. b. cigars smoked, and a
right royal good tine enjoyed. 1t was
a merry occasion and strongly cement
ed the boys of the two organizations
into bond of friendship hitherto I'M
known. The time was very pleasantly
passed in feasting and social converse
close. Mr.. John Mason, of The Roscom-
mon band, arose in neat little speech
in behalf of his band rendered hearty
thanks to the Gaylord boys for the
kind and courteous treatment and hos
pitality shown, and assured the Gay
lord band that like considerate treat
ment should be measured out to them
whenever they visited the''Commons,
which they hope would be soon. Three
| rousing cheers were then proposed and
glve;, with "a will for each of the bands,
and the company broke up in mutual
good wishes and good nights. --Otsegc

\ SAD STORY.


Joseph Laplant of this city, who was Il
private in Co. VI LIST VT. cavalry, was cap
tured by the rebels early in the war and
was kept prisoner until peace was dejj
clared, being among the first Union
prisoners confined in the Andersonville
prison pen. He endured all the horrors
of slow starvation and was among the
last to be taken away from that prison at
the close of the war. He never saw Il well
hour from that time on and for two years
he lived mostly on scraped onions and
milk owing to the scurVy contracted
while in prison. In August, 1883, he made
application for pension and the testi-
mOny was completed within six months
from the time of the filing of the applca-
ton but for some reason his claim await
ed action in the pension office until De
cember 10 last when he was granted a
pension of 81 IL month from lSG5 to No
vember 1850, and 81 a month from that
time ON. Ii was too late, however, for the
