They are Of the opinion. however, that
despite the regular army regulations as to
age, they are as good for active service as
the younger boys. The sharpshooters
agree to equip themselves throughout with
guns. uniforms, ammunition, etc. Save
for this proviso, 1t Is probable that the roll
would be more than double what It is.
Colonel Banbury was elected captain. A

GRAFTON of guns and uniforms, etc. Rev.
J.. p. Crawford presided, and about forty

composed of Captain Banbury, chairman;
G. d. Daggett, j. Ellis, Captain Wakeley

witnesses and spectators, were on hand.
Judge Shaw, however, continued the case
until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The
rumor that Mr.. Hoag, If declared elected,
will resign, is declared by that gentleman
himself to be an invention, and far from
the truth. Mr.. Hoag stated this evening
that he would hold his seat unless the re-
count proved that he had no right to 1t.

chose the windward side of the tent, and
did not pull the flaps close about him.
When found this morning he was some
what dazed, but was able to walk Off.
