News from the Vermont Boys.

We are indebted to the Burlington
Free Press for the following interesting
facts which our special correspondent
did not have time to gather.
A dispatch from Washington says: The
first regiment to be mustered out proba-
bly, will be the First Vermont, and Off
GERS who will have the mastering out de-
tails to attend to are getting ready to
proceed to Vermont.
The men feel very much disappointed
that they did not 60 to the front, many Of
them preferring to do even garrison duty
to being mustered out without any &C.
tive service. Some of the officers and men
have in fact applied to be transferred to
other regiments, colored, immune, or any
thing to bring them duty in Cuba or Porto
Rico. 1t now seems certain that the regi-
ment will soon be mustered out, but just
when it is difficult to tell. Capt. Hovey,
who is in charge at the Fort, said: "Un-
til Maj. Jocelyn returns nothing authori-
tative can be known about the time when
the regiment will be mustered out. He
mustered the men in and will probably
muster them out" The major was not
expected until Tuesday night or Wednes-
day.
Following is the list OF the members Of
Company D, who are sick: Robert T.
Reagan, John McAuley, John Chalmers,
G. c. Newton. L. c. Fuller, Benjamin
Heath, Harry Hutchinson, Fred Chal-
mers, R. w. Gilbtaith, Isaac Fraser,
Mark Virgins, Charles Gleed, Patrick
Demarsb, S. L. Nelson, Hamilton Nor
rill, G. l. McGregor, Fred Ripley (corpo.
raD, V. G. Brooks (musician), Harley
Smith, Eben Cook (sergeant), William
Patterson, w. E. Smith, Grin Jameson.
OF those who are sick many have been
granted furloughs and arrived here Mon.
day night and Tuesday afternoon. The
furloughs were granted for 10 days, but
may e extended at the end of that time
on he order of local physician. Fol-
lowing is a partial list of those who
came home; L. c. Fuller, John McAuley,
G. c. Newton, Fred Chalmers, 6. l. Nc
Gregor, Fred Ripley, Harley Smith, S. L.
Nelson, Robert Regain, Benjamin Heath,
K. w. Gilbraith, Charles Gleed, Hamil-
ton Morrill,, V. G. Brooks.
Mrs. Charles Bonnette, wife OF Maj.
Bonnette, has arrived in Burlington
from Chattanooga, where she has been
staying, and will remain there for the
present.
Company D celebrated the announce
ment Of the return OF the regiment with
a banquet just before leaving Camp
Thomas. The menu was we'll gotten up
and would do credit to many hotels with
good facilities at hand.
Six more boys reached here last night
from Camp Olympia, being home on a
Through. They are 1t. Lougee of Com
pany L. who went to his home in ST..
Johnsbury Center; George Newton of
Lyndonville; Harry Hudson Of West
Concord; McGaffey Of St. Johnsbury
East; William Patterson of this village
and one other. The boys that came
home are badly used up and they bring
word from their comrades, that the regi.
ment will probably be mustered out
within week.

Foresters in Session.

The annual gathering Of the Catholic
Order OF Foresters is being held here this
week in Pythian Hall. Delegates from
60 courts in the state are here besides
the 10 members of the State Court.
Secret sessions were held yesterday and
will continue through today. The gath.
ering closes tonight with ball in the
Armory.
There was large gathering Of Forest
ers last evening when the new ritual was
worked by members of the State Court.
Six candidates were put through the new
ritual, which was very much enjoyed by
the brothers present. At the conclusion
Of the initiation, the State Court, Catho.
lie Order of Foresters, iii regular conven-
ton assembled, proceeded to the bust
ness of the convention.
The convention adjourned at o'clock
at the request of Bro. F. G. Laundry and
in the name of Sherman Court, No. 627,
and St. Johnsbury Court, No. 800, Mr..
Laundry invited all present to partici-
pate in the banquet which was prepared
by S. D. Atwood. After the brothers
had provided for the inner man, the
tables were raped to order by Toast.
master F. G. Laundry, who in a pleas
ant manner called as the first speaker
Rev. w. ]. O'Sulivan OF Montpelier. He
called the attention of the brothers to
the death of Lieut.. Curtin of Brattle-
boro, respected Forester and esteemed
young gentleman, who had responded
to the call of his country and eventual
ly had given up his life while so engaged.
FIR. OSullivan said that although the
Vermont regiment did not take an active
part in the war, they were entitled to
the same honor, for the spirit of the Yer
mont boys was at the front, and it was
not their fault that they did not take an
active part.
The next speaker called upon was
State Chief Ranger ]. ]. Eagan Of Mont
pelier, who gave very interesting and
instructive talk. The POSTMASTER then
called upon Father Coffey OF Rutland,
who in his inimitable manner told few
humorous stories which completely cap.
tured the audience. State Vice Chief
Ranger McCarmou of Boston offered a
few remarks, as also did other brothers
present. At the conclusion of the speak.
ing several solos were given by members
present, and at late hour the boys said
good night" each voting the evening
one long to be remembered.
