AMONG THE BOYS IN BLUE.

Comrade S. G.. Lewis of Mobeetie, Texas
formerly First Lieutenant, Company +,
74th U. S. /. desires the addresses of Cap
tain Hawley OF that regiment and former
ly from st. Johnsbury, VT, also of Cap
tain and Lieut.. Noyes, brothers, and OF
the same regiment, on duty at Ship Island
Miss, in 1864 and formerly members OF
the 9TH or Sth Vermont and from the town
of Newbury.
1t has been decided, in view OF the many
celebrations occurring this summer which
might interfere with the proposed regi-
mental reunion of the 18th Vermont Vol
unteers, to postpone the latter until next
year. II will probably be held Oct. A,
1892, which viii be 80 years from the mus
tering in of the regiment.
Henry Post G. A. r. at Chester, through
its commander A. Il. Seonaw and adju
tant George III. Waldron have issued the
following circular letter:
At meeting OF Henry Post, No. "a,
Dep. of Vt, G. A. r., it was voted that as
Windsor county never had department
commander of the G. A. X. we propose to
present one at the next eneampment in
the person of comrade Hugh Henry of
Chester, VT, of Henry Post No. "a. Judge
Henry's record as a comrade needs no
special endorsement and the work for the
benefit of the veterans in aiding in estab-
fishing and perfecting the best Soldiers
Home in the United States, is worthy of
recognition. He does not seek the office
and will write no letters asking support,
but if elected will discharge his duties,
we believe, acceptably aud to the advance
ment OF the organization.
Pensions have recently been granted to
Vermonters as follows: Original, Daniel
Mack, George w Cobb, Augustus d Bur-
CESS, Alonzo Pigeon, Lorenzo Shaffner,
Francis P Taylor, Eldoph Labardie, Hen
ry B Road, Wesley B Smith, John w Ow-
ems, John Leahy. Widows, Judith Miles,

some excellent work. Amelia b. Edwards

American navigator says the scheme is inn
possible. We shall know better in two or

interesting manner. The Review main

less in politics than some but it may be
