CAVALRY wITI REORGANIZE.

Members OF the disbanded Cavalry Troop
A have decided to reorganize the company
on differcnt lines from that of the old one.
To that end a committee was appointed
at the meeting held "a few days since to
Jraft a constitution and by-la ws.
1t Will be remembered that the defunct
troop went out Of existence bec2use OF the
great expense involved in hiring and car
ing for the horses used bythein, and which
Gen. Ordway deemed too great.
The members Of the new troop propose to
obviate this objection. Each man will be
required to purchase his own horse, which
he must keep solely for troop duty. The
only expense which the Government will
need to bear is that of forage. The troop
will be incorporated and will adopt a uni
