Around the Campfire.

An election to fill the office of cap
tain in Company G, LIST regiment Yer
mont National Guard, which has be-
come vacant by the retirement of Bvt
Major j. w. Symons, and such Other
vacancies as may occur, will be held
in Brandon on the evening OF Oct. 81
1t has been reported in these col,
umns that the next G. A. X. encamp-
ment would be held in Bennington III
February. A change in the constitu-
ton makes the meeting come in june
and the location has not been fully de-
cided upon.
Col. Rush C.IIawkins of New York
and Comrade John G. liichberg OF
Chicago have subscribed $3.50 towards
the erection OF soldiers monument
at Woodstock. A committee has been
appointed by Geo. G. Randall post and
has taken the matter in charge TO
raise "a sufficient amount for Il good
monument.
AT the national encampment of the
Grand Army Of the Republic held in
ST. Paul, there were registered at
Vermont headquarters 2l0 comrades,
representing every Vermont regiment
and every separate company except
the First Battery. There were also
registered 20 comrades who are ma
tives of Vermont but who served in
commands from other states.
When the ''Union generals reached
South Bend, Mich, on their stump
ing tour something dramatic happened
A man came forward to see Gen. Sick
les, who recognized him as the soldier
who carried him wounded from the
field Of Gettysburg 30 years ago and
he had not met him since that event.
full day. After the rally the veteran
carried Sickles to his carriage, and
both became completely unneryed by
the memories which the act aroused.
II has been decided to hold the an
nual reunion OF the Vermont Cavalry
society at Montpelier on Nov. 18th.
These meetings have usually been
held the day before the officers reun-
ion, but owing to the crowded eondi-
tion of the Montpelier hotels during
ladies week it is thought best to
make a change this year. The society
is the oldest regimental association in
the state, having been organized in
October, 1872, and is the only one
which has met every year. 1t is in
flourishing financial condition and
its meetings are generally well at
tended. The present officers are:
Lieut.. Jacob Trussell, president; Ser
geant Seymour II. Wood, secretary,
and Lieut.. William l.. Greenleaf,
treasurer.

ance and generous appropriations can

Vermont wishes to fall behind other
states in the education of its young.
Before the days of normal schools in
that state bright pupils often knew
more than their teachers. TO abolish
fitting schools for teachers, where a
training is compulsory in order to
teach, is to invite return to this old
order of things. We do not believe
the Vermont legislature will be unwise
enough to do any such thing"
