VOL. LXXXII. PROPOSE RISTURY OF REGIMENT 43, The Washington A tevolalion of the Bar. vivors of the Regimsat Have Matters in Charge, The 45th Regiment Pa. Vol. Inf., al. though not entirely a Centre Ceunty Regiment, was composed very largely of men from this county. Companies A. D and E were practically entirely 0. E was largely so. No other county in the state, therefore, was or is so greatly in- terested in this Regiment ae Centre, Its number was the first after the Pennsyl- vania Reserve Corps. Authority for its recruiting was given both by the Secretary of War and the governor of the state before the three months’ men were mustered out of ser. vice, To a very considerable extent, men who had been in service for the three months re-enlisted in the 45th. Its colonel, Thomas Welsh, was Lieu- tenant Colonel of the 2nd Regiment in the three months’ service, the arrange- ment for the organization of the 45th having been made by him and Lieut. Beaver of H Company in that Regiment, who became the Par Colonel of the 45th. Col. Welsh, being placed in command of Camp Curtin by Gov. Curtin, was prevented from. giving his personal attention to the recruiting of the Regiment, but as commander of Camp Curtin he had special advantages in the selection of companies to compose it. To this circumstance is no doubt largely due the exceptional character of the make up of the Regiment as to its personnel. The Regiment had a re- markable career in many respects, particularly in the territorial extent of its service, the number and variety of its campaigns and the brilliant record which it made in all of them An effort is now being made by the Washington, D. C., Association of the Survivors of the 45th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry to prepare and have ublished a history of the Regiment. Vith commendable energy, care and diligence, this little Association, com- psed of less than a half dozen survivors, pe R. C. Cheeseman and Nelson Lucas, of this county being of the num- ber (vajor Cheeseman being the Presi- dent of the Association), has prepared a complete roster of the survivors as a oreliminary to the preparation of the Pe itself. This roster, of course, is not perfect. The names of men who are dead are included therein and a number who are living are 1 luded for various reasons. The Association, however, is revising the list and will ublish a new edition in the sSOIne re inaoia near future. I'he surprising thing about the roster is that it gives the names of nearly 500 survivors out of 1960 men who were “at different times in the Regiment. How ing for the inclusion of men who no longer living and the exclusion of men who ought to be included in this roster, there are doubtless 450 surv much as the state of Per 400 copies of each regime history certified by the governor, the Adjutant General and Auditor Geperal as being worthy of the name, at a price not ex- ceeding $2.00 per volume, it is easy to see that there will be no difficulty in publishing and disposing of an edition of at least 1000. Several of the comrades have already sub-cribed for a number of volumes each, running from two to twelve. The character of the volume is not yet determined, If a suitable person can be secured to write the history from the material which will be furnished by the survivors, that plan may be adopted, or a general editor may be chosen who will revise the manuscripts submitted by the survivors, so as to preserve the characteristics of the different writers. There will probably be a reunion of the survivors in the month of Septem ber and the Washington Association ex- pects to have its plans in such shape that they may be submitted to the sur. vivors at this reunion for definite adop- tion, and it is hoped that a committee will there be named who will give im- mediate and careful attention to the de- tails of the preparation of the history. We very heartily commend to the survivors of the Regiment this enter- prise, which ought to appeal to everyone who was in any way connected with or interested in it. From the interest which has been manifested by the sur- vivors in Centre county, there is no doubt whatever as to doing their full share in the preparation of the material for the history and of taking the num- ber of copies when published which would seem to be their proportion of the edition, whatever it may be. We hope the splendid beginning made by the Washington Association will be continued and will find hearty encour- agement and co-operation on the part of all the survivers of the Regiment.

ANOTHER SUICIDE, Merrill Hoy Ends His Life With a Ballet at Pera Station, During the quiet hours of Friday morning Merrill Hoy ended his life by a shot from a revolver whilesitting ina buggy at Peru Station, west of Pleasant Gap. He was found early in the morning by Farmer W. E. Crust, who lives nearby. Mr. Crust saw a ‘horse hitohed to a buggy grazing near the station, and a form he took to be that of a man sitting in the buggy. The peculiar conditions aroused his curiosity, and suspecting something was wroog, he set out to investigate He was, however, shocked to find that the occupant of the buggy was dead, and that it was the son of his neigh- bor, Harvey Hoy. It only required =» bit of investigation to reveal that either a murder had been committed, or the man nad taken his own life, as the wound on the right side of his head sbove the ear was plainly visible The man was leaning his head between the buggy top.
