THE OLD FIFTEENTH c. V.

Remembered.
 The twenty-fourth annual reunion of the Fifteenth resiment, Veteran associa- ton, which was held at Stewards pavilion. Savin Rock, yesterday, was notably suc-7 cessful and highly enjoyed by all who par ticipated. The veterans assembled on the old green, this city, near the town pump, between g and 10 in the morning and at 10 o'clock took the horse cars for the shore. At the shore meeting was called in the pavilion, with President s. F. Linsley of North Haven in the chair. Walter H. Lord, the very efficient secretary and treas urer of the association, was called upon for his report. It was lengthy and very complete and interesting one. He also read the mortuary record, giving the names of those who have died since the muster out of the regiment, when they died, and where, and of what disease. The regiment waa mustered out in July, 1865
 The next business was the election of officers for the ensuing year. Charles 5. Barnes of Southington was chosen presi- dent, George M. Minor, Westfeld, Mass, vice-president; Walter H. Lord,t New Ha- ven, secretary and treasurer; Rev. Dr. D. H. Miller, Mystic, chaplain; Colonel George M. White, historian They were unanimously elected. Then the subject of the place of holding the next years re- union was preached. This brought Cap tain M. A. Butricks to his feet He in a rousing speech proposed the place as Washington, D. O., as next year will be the regimnet's silver anniversary. Chap Jas UTbifa 0tha rc made speeches on the subject.
 All the veterans were unanimous in de- ciding in choosing Washington as the place. The national encampment, G. A. R., will be held in that city the same week, and the vets proposed to hold their reunion on Camp Chase, where they pitched their tents twenty nine years ago, on their first arrival in Virginia. Colone George M. White, New Haven; Captain M. A. Butrick, New Haven; William s. Beecher, Westville; William R. Mckay, Meriden; Walter H. Lord, New Haven, were the executive committee for next years reunion.
 Colonel White, the historian of Yer mont for number of years, reported that his history would be completed in about ing one, containing over three hundred pages. A collection was taken and the amount raised was enough to cover all ex- penses.
 The secretary read letters from absent members. Comrade Beckley of New Ha. ven showed to the boys a relic-an army hardtack cracker which he brought home from the army in 1865. It was sample of the original hard tack that was issued to the boys.
 The dinner call was sounded at 1 o'clock and the vets needed no second call. The table was soon surrounded by one hundred and sixty of the vets, who tried hard tc vanquinh the good things that Caterer Stewart had prepared for them. The din ner was perfect success.
 After dinner there was an lmpromptu gathering of the vets and vote of thanks was rendered to the committee, Walter H Lord, James A. Church, John Leonard Oscar Ives and Thomas Sherman for theil untiring efforts to make the reunion z success.
 During the day the sum of $50 wal quickly collected to be sent to Chaplain Doolittle, now of Dakota, in honor of his silver wedding anniversary.
 The veterans entered enthusiastically in to the project of reuniting next year or the soil of old Virginia on the site where the regiments first camp ground was, af ter leaving home to go to the war. Among the letters read was the follow ing from Judge Bissen of the court of ap .peals of Colorado, who was the first ser geant major of this regiment:
