I Regiment has invited Major General John
i. Organ, commanding the national
guard to review the regiment on Wednes-
day night. January %. and the general
has accepted. There will be somewhat OF
a family party at the regiment, as Colo
mel Appleton has invited number of
graduates from the eth Regiment to be
present During the standing review all
these graduates will make up an honorary
staff for General Organ. Decorations for
long and faithful service will be presented
during the evening. The cost of the pro-
posed trip of the regiment to Washington
to take part in the Inauguration parade
in March next being much greater than
was at first expected, 1t is not unlikely

opinion that trip to Gettysburg would
be preferable.
