THE REUNION, Twenty two years after the close of the war, and twenty five years after its organization ss a regiment the 148th again assembled, in a body and per- fected a regimental association. The different trains from Wednesday eve- ning until Friday morning brought little knots of veterans into town and the committee of arrangements prompt- ly took charge of the visitors and made them comfortable. Gregg Post No. 95, threw open its hospitable doors und the rooms soon became the headquart- ers of the members of the 148th, The post presented to each member of the regiment a beautiful white silk badge with the legend ‘‘First annual re- union of the 148th Reg't P. V. Belle- fonte Ps, Oct, 27 and 28. Presented by Gregg Post No. 95.” Io the centre in red was the second corps badge the trefoil. Thursday morning snd afternoon were taken up in social chat and greetings, the boys hunting up comrades they had not seen since the war. Stories and anecdotes flew among them as did bui- lets in the “sixties” but sith no fatali- ties. Little knots of gray haired, maim- ed and battle scarred “boys” could be seen any place on our streets and from each little gathering rang out the cherry laugh se some comrade told of the ridiculous side of the great contest. The “boys” of the 148th had captured the town and the old “vets” of other regiments stood by interested and amused spectators of their comrades’ jollity.

Be- tween us and any nation that can wage war with us stretches the broad Atlan- tie, no trouble can come unless we fight among ourselves, There is no disposition to engage in war. The south is peaceful and quiet, its people have accepted in good faith the arbi- tration of the sword, The results that have followed that great struggle have been a great blessing to all sec tions. The great army that disbanded in 65 melted into the people as does snow before the sun, and soon bescme absorbed in the peaceful avocations of life.

D Haxren, Commitiee, R.B Lye | Jon A, MiLeer, | The consideration of tue erection of markers or monuments on the battle field of Gettysburg was next in order. Gov, Beaver offered some suggestions ond read from the pamphlet laws the act providing for the erection of monu. ments to Pennsylvania regiments. Maj. Foster gave a description oi the part taken by the 148th in that battle which was supplemented by Comrade John Howard. Fourteen names were proposed from which was to be select- ed a committee of five to co-operate with the commission appointed by the Governor to select the site for the pro- posed tablets. On motion of D. F. Foriney a committee of three was ap- pointed to select from the fourteen gentlemen named the committee, The members of the Memorial committee, as finally selected, are Major R. Forster, 8. J. Marlin, Wm, McFarlane, R. A. Patterson and William Lucas. From the discussion of the members many facts with reference to the losses sustained by the regiment came out. Of the 117 enrolled as present on a rising count being taken fifty five bad been wounded during the war, At the time the count was made there were not one hundred in the room. Bates history has long been noted for its in accuracies, and while it reports 400 as the member of wounded in the regi- ment the sctusl is at least ROO. Afver some discussion as to the best plan to aid number the historian the meeting m. AFTERNOON BESBION. The first business was to fix to the soldier and spoke of the obser- vance of memorial day.

The choir rendered a song composed’ in honor of General Hancock, The music was sweet, Comrade R. R. Kyle, of Company I, praised that company ss the best in the regiment, The members always told the truth and never took anything which they could not carry away. His narrative wes sbout fitting on his uni’ form the first time. Of course, it did not fit very well. Comrade Swineford hoped that all would meet next year at Gettysburg. Asron Williams, a six months eavalryman, was too modest to say much, Comrade Fortney gave his experience in preparing the program, He bad been in this town twenty years and bad enjoyed the past twenty-four hours as much as any part of that lohg period, The boys left their schools, pleasant employments aod best girls and went off to war, When they reached the front they did not feel bad—not so much as the old folks at home. There was but liltle responsibility for the pri- vate soldiers, They bad only to obey orders and put in their time as best they could. Hancock is ssid to have stated that if he ever go! near Rich- mond he would have the 148th steal the city, sas they bad learced to stesl everything.

Curtin The Caplain was not a member of the 148th, but he de- longed to a regimeat which gave the 148th its colonel. He spoke of the de light which it afforded old soldiers to en- gage in such reunions, He reverted to the custom so often indulged in by some people of making light of such gather- ings. Such people have no right to citizenship in a country that is worth saviog. More than 600 soldiers die an. nually in Pennsylvania from the effects of wounds received in the service. The soldiers will not live long, aad their pathway in this life should be made plessant. As a soldier said to Thomas Stewart, of Philadelphia—*"Give me teo cents now; don't wait until you oan strew flowers on my grave.” Major Marlin, a former captain of company I, spoke very briefly: “The Union forever; hurrah, boys, hurrah!" was sang by the choir, Col.
