REUNION,

OF the 18th Ohio Independent Battery
ss- ut this place.
The annual reunion of this battery in
Wellington on the ninth inst, was one
of the important events OF last week.
Many visitors were in town and all to-
gether, our little city presented quite a
gala day appearance, more especially
about the G. A. R. headquarters.
The 18th Ohio Independent battery
went out in June, 1861, as Co. D., OF the
25th Ohio infantry. About a year later
was organized into battery OF artillery.
They served in West Virginia until the
fall Of 1863, taking part in many engage
ments and many times receiving the COM
pliments of their brigade and division
commanders for the character OF their
work. During its first two years SER
vice in West Virginia, the battery was al
most continually fighting and marching.
This battery was given the honor Of fir
ing the first cannon shot at the second
battle of Bull Run, and took active part
in the three days Of that battle. Previous
to this the battery had been fighting for
eight consecutive days, using from 200
to 600 shots daily, entirely using up
their guns, so that they had to be aban-
doned. Late in 1868 the battery was
transferred from West Virginia to Nash
vile, Tenn, and had no more fighting to
do except taking part in the battle Of
Murfreesboro during Hoods invasion Of
Tennessee, and his disastrous defeat at
Nashville. The battery was ordered from
Chattanooga, Tenn, to Camp Chase, o.,
about July /, 1865, and was mustered
out Of service on July 10 Of that year.
For twelve years past the battery has
held annual reunions at various points.
Forty-two Of the members is the largest
number ever convened at one time in
any of those years, and these out of a
possible three hundred. The boys are
scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and the wonder Is that so many can
meet together. One comrade came SOC
miles to attend this reunion, and went
home feeling that 'it was good to be
here"
, The exercises were held in the G. A. R
} hall dinner and supper being served the
soldiers wives, ladies Of the Relief
! Corps and other ladies of Wellington

JUDGE WAS LENlENT
And Nineteen Year Old Murderer Got Off
With Three Years.

Dover. Maine, February 2s.-Judge L.
A. Emery in the Supreme judicial court
In session here this afternoon, sentenced
W. Demond, the nineteen year old muir
derer OF John Roderick, to three years
with hard labor in the States prison. The
crime was committed ON September
18th, 1895, in the vicinity of Chesuncook
Lake, during drunken quarrel, over a
drink. In answer to the Indictment,
Demond pleaded guilty and his counsel.
U. W. Brown, made statement of the
case showing that beyond doubt
Demond was so intoxicat when he fired
the fatal shot, thatYhe was entirely OBJ
livlous of what he was doing. In con-
sideration of this fact, and that Demond
had always borne an excellent reputati
and was peaoeable and quiet fellow,
and of his youth, Counsel Brown prayed
that the mercy of the court be extended
to the prisoner as far as was consistent
with the requirements of justice.
