The Captain is a musJ excellent @ ,arter-
master for the Seventh Regiment, and if
his becoming q benedict will In any wa
interfere With his duties in that depart
nent The boys hope he will remain as he
is and only become a Congressman.
The Seventh Regiment is now divided
into Two bat: al ons, with John A. Boss
Sergeant Major OF the FIR t Battalion,

of the Second. They are botn perform
ing their duties we'll aud ne efficient
officers.
There is a well trodden and well known
path leading from the Camp TO the Squan
House, which is utilized quite often by

charge, says that members Of the Sscoud
Brigade are the most orderly aud best dis
ciplinsd of the whole state Guard.
