fought some of the most important and
decisive battles for national existence: a
state that offered the first support to the
national government ia its hour of peril
and put in the field two hundred and fif-
teen full regiments, besides a large number
of independent organizations, comprising
neerly half million of men-has been hon
ored this year by the location, in old pa
triotic Pittsburg, of the twenty-eighth an
nual reunion OF the Grand Army of the
Republic. This great gathering OF the
''Boys who wore the blue" continues from
September 10th to 18TH inclusive, and will
undoubtedly be most enjoyable to Penn
BylvanHUs.
A perfect system of regimental reunions
has been arranged for, and the local COM
mIttee will have printed guides for distri-
button on the Santa FEES special Pennsyl-
wanna tram, giving exact information AS to
location of regimental headquarters time
