numerous homes made up the aggregate. We will give such as we remember: David Taylor, $5,
Mrs. J. L. More $2, Mrs. A. P. Lyman $2, Mrs. J. O. Thayer $1, Mr. J. H. Mead, and Mr. Geo.
End contributed liberally of vinegar. Mr. Rufus H. Bartlett, of Greenbush, sent $1 to the vinegar
fund, which however, was applied to a more personal use. Mrs. Ira Bliss filled a good sized box
for Co. E. Mr. A. F. Wheeler gave several papers of corn starch, farina, and bottles of flavoring
extract. Mr. John Christian, a jar of fine butter and a quantity of onions. A German lady, name
unknown, sent in halfa dozen or more heads of nice cabbage, but before it could be attended to,
some one was mean enough to steal them.

That most generous of draymen, John Klein, assisted by Mr. Miller, took all these barrels
and boxes to the pier free of charge. By the way, Mr. Klein has done nearly all the draying for the
society since its organization, and always gratuitously, thus evincing considerably more patriotism
than many others.

Mrs. H.N. Ross, Sec'y.’”

AT HOME. Capt. JOSEPH RANKIN, of the 27th Regiment, arrived home from Little
Rock, Ark., on Tuesday last, on a brief furlough.

Capt. RANKIN has been absent about two years, and has won high distinction as an
officer in the army. He has had charge of the Regiment some time during the summer, and
commanded it with credit. He will remain here two weeks, and recruit those wishing to join his
forces. The 27th Regiment is a lucky one, having been in only one engagement, and is now
stationed at Little Rock.

MICHAEL MAGUIRE, Commissary Sergeant of the Regiment, and Sergt. ALONZO C.
PIERCE, also returned home with Captain R.*” |

HOME ON RECRUITING SERVICE. Sergt. Irving Bliss, of Co. E, 27th Regiment,
arrived home Wednesday night, on recruiting service for his regiment. He looks healthy and is
in good spirits. He left Little Rock about the time Col. Krez left Sheboygan on his return, and
supposes that they passed each other on the river, as he did not chance to meet him.

His arrival on this particular service just now is very opportune for those who desire to
escape the draft and secure the government bounty of $100, $200, or $300 for a one, two, or
three years enlistment, and at the same time go among their friends and acquaintances. The 27th
has for a long time been stationed at Little Rock, and it is thought will before the coming winter,
at least. A liberal bounty, $16 per month pay -- board and clothes thrown in -- and a pleasant
service in garrison, is better than working at ordinary wages here, or at starvation prices among
cowardly sneaks in Canada.

Sergt. Bliss! office is at Blackstock's Drugstore.”
