III LIE VII. VllCs
We are all getting little more to
eat then we did the first week. At
first we were served with bareback,
salt pork, coffee and tomatoes three
times day, 1t became rather mono
tonous. We have not had any potatoes
issued us yet but we have been able to
buy some for each company with the
profits from the cancen and also to get
soft crackers by swapping bareback with
the Tennessee troops.
For two or three days now wo have
drawn Il little fresh beef and soft bread
so we have been able to have soups,
stcwS etc
The boys of course have more or less
sport in Camp yesterday l saw big
box go down our street and disappear
in one Of the tents, little later two men
were looking in every street and claim
ed they had lost crate of broiled chick
en-. They didn't ask me, however if |
had seen them. This morning our salt
pork had funny taste, for salt pork
and found several small bones in it, |
can swear it was salt pork all the same.
They don't always come out as well
though.
Some of the boys went out the other
night to capture fine fat veal calf which
was not many miles away in an old barn.
They were not very foxy as the old man
was in waiting with double barrel
shotgun and one of the boys got pepper
ed little.
They came in and got me out about
midnight with the information that one
Of the boys had been shot and was bleed
ING to death. | dressed and got down
to see him as soon as possible. lie was
up walking around and was far from
death. The DR.. got two shots out the
back OF his head. There were three or
four more slight wounds but it was bird
shot so did not amount to anything. The
wounds are all healed up and it may be
a good lesson to some of Them Tho
DR., said all the harm done was in their
not getting the calf, so they could paw
him with nice veal pie for being up
half the night.
we have not received any part of our
uniforms or equipments vet. Some
four or five of our buys are barefoot and
as it is rough and rocky around here we
cannot have them do any duty whatever.

Malthewson, is thinking very strongly
Of fitting up the old Bacon residence at
the north end, owned by Mrs. Ann e..
Bannistcr of Pottsdam, N. Y, so that it
can be used this fall for school build
ING. Mr.. Matthewson visited the place
last week and the matter will probably
he discussed more fully at this evenings
meeting Of the school commissioners,
Next fall there will be u large in
crease of scholars in the public schools
and the city will have to provide Il suit
able place. No more church vestrics
are available. If the new school build
ING is started soon it will not be ready
for occupancy until next spring.
The plans of Mr.. Matthewson are
that the residence can be rcmodelcd n
little, suitable for u school building this
fall. The residence will not have to be
moved as the new building will set
some distance back from the street.
