Col Began, who died in Boston with a
prayer on his lips that the government
would send his boys home before they
all died with the disease he died with.

officers.

MILITARY NOTES.
The state militia will probably be
again doing duty for the common
wealth before Christmas day Capt. e.
G. Barrett of A company, M v. NJ,
was given the rolls for making up the
three Worcester companies, at Spring
field, Wednesday.
Capt. Barrett is the authority for the
statement that 81 men who went to
Cuba with A company will immediately
sign the new rolls. He says that he has
more than the required number of men
and Will keep all over that number on
the waiting list, and as soon as there
IS a vacancy, mus er them into tina
company in place of raw recruits
G and Fl companies will probably also
be ready when called upon But some
people are afraid that when the men
are asked to do duty for the state
under men who did not fight in Cuba,
VIII refuse to be mustered into the SER

an excellent chance for argument upon
