NAUGATUCK COLUMN
An Appeal i'm Behalf of the Fifteenth
 Connecticut Volunteers.

In behalf of the old veterans of this town we publish the following:
 ''On August 25, 1862, the Fifteenth Con- necticut volunteers were mustered into service with one thousand and forty men. The regiment went to the front and for n. arly three years braved the storm of battles and the more insidious, but none the less destructive dan gers of camp and disease. Of that 1.140 there remains but a small battalion. Company H of this regiment was recruited in Naugatuck, and it's mem- bers, trusting to the well known hopitality and generosity of our citizens, have invited the remainder of the old regiment to cele- brate the thirty third anniversary of mus ter-in by a reunion in Naugatuck at our expense. We want to give the veterans a reception that will be remembered until the light goes out in the tent of the last survivor. In order that proper arrange ments may be made, we invite all citizens. without regard to sex, to meet with us at the court room, town hall, on the evening of July 24, at o'clock, to appoint commit tees and do other preliminary work All who feel like contributing cash for the purpose of defraying the cost of music, etc, can leave the same with either of the un dersigned.
