went to the Garrison green last
Tuesday afternoon to witness the an
nual inspection Of the Jasper Light
Infantry. There were fifty three men
in the company, and they made quite
a creditable showing. The inspection

ler of the United States army, was
strictly thorough. The colonel went
so far as to look into the butts OF
the rifles to find whether ramrods

articles and had left them at the
| p
plain. The colonel asked several me1

oped that the men were either above
