On this side we hav Compnny F, and this company bids fair to become the "crnck" of the regiment. To begin with, they hnve one of the best captains In the whole regiment, or the Third brigade for that matter. They nre drilling twice each week, one regular and one extra drill. Once a week n squad drill Is held and also an ollicers1 school. The attendance for the past three or four weeks was perfect, every member, Including tlio out-of-town men, IioIhe present. If the boys should be called away, we might tnke some pildo In the fact that b. virtue of the seniority of ser a Ice of Captain Fellows, he and his company lead the First battatlun of the leading reclment of the Third brigade. Thus, although one of the last com panies to be formed and composed of a larger percentage of younger men, Company F would lend the van. At present the company's roster Is full, that is, they have sixty-three men sixty prlvntes and throe ollicers all that is allowed In time of peace. Hut If F was put on n war footing of 100 men, thut extra number could be easily raised amoni: ex-members who reside on this side, many of whom have ex pressed an Intention of re-enllstlng In such ,u case, and there la no lack of applicants otherwise. I!y an arrangement recently put Into effect, little. If any, time will be lost In summoning the men should n hurry call come, which Is hardly likely. So perfect Is this arrangement that the ollicers claim they can get the men out quicker than they did the morning of t lie I.attimer trip. Kuch man thorough ly understands what is expected of him to facilitate matters. His clothes, ac coutrements, etc.. ate In readiness for intnnt use. Tlie company's membership com prises men ranking from eighteen years upward and representing nil the trades and professions. The height of the men ranges fiom the necessary height of live feet live Inches up to six feet, the aveiuge being about live feet seven Inches. Out of the sixteen commis sioned and iion-conmilssloiicd ollicers, seven are married. Of the remaining forty-seven men. eighteen are married. The members of the company have seen service from the innn with four en listments to Ills credit down to the man who has only been In for a few months. The company uieinbeis ate reserved, bill lull of enthusiasm. Only one man has sought his discharge since the first likelihood of actual service presented itself. There iP no doubt but that Com pany F from Its captain down to the uiwest recruit would give a good ac count of himself should It be necessary. Following is the roster of the com pany, as the membeis would bo called out In squads: Captain, K. I. Fellows; llrsl lieutenant, 11. P. Decker: second lieutenant. David .T. Davis; Ilrst ser geant. W.

All Incident ot Decatur's Captuie nl the I'lisate .laccdonian. I-'roin the Sun. This Is the slorv ot a young sailor who lived two generations before young Dan Wnllingfoid, who gave his com plete fortune of -IS cents to build a new battleship to replace the Maine. Ills Ilrst name was Hill and his last name is withheld. The Incident occurred in tlie eventful year of 1S12. on hoard our frigate t'nited Suites. when, under Cap tain DecaturVs skilful command, she captured, after "long shot" action, the Hrltlsh frlgute Macedonian, bringing her a prize to New York. Decatur got 11 gold medal from congress in recog nition of the capture, and this Is what n Vermont newspaper, printed In the year of Waterloo, tells of Hill's part In this sea light: "On board Deontur's ship was a little boy about 9 years old. He was not considered one of the regular crew, but he slinrod the mess of a generous sutler w ho hud two years before taken him from his widow ed mother. The spirit of his father, who had nlso been it seu muii. had lony,' since gone nloft, und left his widow and little oms on the shoals of poverty. When the Muce donian hove lu sight nnd nil hands were clearing ship for action the little felhuv stepped UP to Commodore De cntur. " 'And tt pleuse you. Cnptnln.' he said. 'I wish my name might bo put down on the roll.' "And what fur, my lud?' Inquired the coinmundcr. " 'So that I can draw 11 share of the prize money, sir,' answered he. "Pleased with the spirit and confi dent courage of the little hero, his name was ordered on the list; but the inotnent was too important to e-ay inoie. After the prize was tnken Decatur thought of the Utile sailor boy und culled 111 111 up. " 'Well, Hill,' said ho, 'wo have taken her, and your share of the prize, if we get her safe In, will bo about $200. What will you die with It?' " iil send one-half of It to my mother, sir, and the other half shall send me to school.' " 'That's noble,' cried the commo dore. "Delighted with the spirit of the Ind, he took him under his Immediate pro tection, mid obtained for him the berth of a mldshlpmnn. Every attention Is given to his education, and ho gives great promise of mnkliig nil nccoin. pushed ofllcur." Ile.jeiMllce. LttUj Hoy-'ien't fathers mieer?"
