murder the poor, burn the churches and schoolhouses, try us severely.

following October. It was suggested that the company join the Lawrence Rifles, but the Light Guard positively refused to do so, and chose the following officers: Capt., I. F. R. Hosea; 1st Lieut., J. Henry Eames; 2d Lieut., Henry A. Ireland, Jr. In May, 1866, the 5th Regiment was inspected at the race course (Mystic Park). Co. E had three officers, fifty-seven men, and fifty-five guns. Fully two-thirds of the company were veterans; about thirty had served with the three years men. In June, 1866, the company began to fit up rooms in Usher's Building. The drill hall was shared with the Lawrence Rifles. At this time, when the Light Guard is about to take possession of an elegant building, a few items of the simple furnishings of the armory of 1866 are interesting. The woodwork was painted white; a black walnut picture moulding was put up; battle mottoes decorated the walls. Three pictures of battle scenes were donated, also a life size photograph of Mr. Daniel Lawrence. Milton

In making use of this expression the writer was necessarily unaware of events which have recently transpired, and I am, therefore, instructed to ask of you the favor to allow me to state that the arrangements of the directors as to new capital are now completed, that several hundred miles of the core, or interior portion of the cable, are completed, andthat the Great Eastern is chartered to go to sea in June, 1866, for the double purpose of laying an entirely new cable and of raising the broken end of the one thousand one hundred miles of cable laid this year, so as to splice additional cable thereto, and thus, if successful, furnish to the public a second means of communication. This one thousand one hundred miles of submerged cable is ascertained to be in the most perfect order by daily tests taken from the time it broke, and still continued daily. The buoys at the end of it are washed away,
