Col. G. II. SMITH, who was detailed by
the War Department to attend the annual
encampment OF the Michigan State
militia at Goguac Lake, has made his re-

NAV be considered excellent. The drills
were comprehensive, and embraced the
moro important battalion and brigade
movements, as the improvement in ac-

movements by companies and by regi-

of Michigan may well be proud of her

her troops,b says Col. Smith, in conclus-
ion. "To-day the force compares favor
ably with her glorious military record in
the war;"

woman fought hard to repcl the on

pulled out by the enragcd mother.
