The first Annual Encampment of the McHenry County Soldiers and Sailors* Veteran Association, took plaoo last week at Crystal Lake, For three days the old veterans met In large numbers to talk over old times and scenes of long ago, and to know that they en­ joyed the occasion to the fullest ox tent, no one who saw theaa oould for a moment doubt. We have been unable to get a list of all the speakers, but the one which seems to have caused the most comment was that of Bishop Falles, "the Fighting Chaplain," on Thursday afternoon. His remarks were able and patriotic, and were lis tened to with the closest attention by all. The court-martial on Thursday foienoon was a feature of the encamp­ ment, which the old vets entered into with a zeal and realness that was a de­ light to the large crowd in attendance, and farce though it was, it reminded one oif some of the justices courts i>t the present day, where equally as ri­ diculous farces are enaoted every week. We are sorry that we are unable to give a full and complete account of the entire three days, but not being able to be present we are unable to do so. ,By| tMs we ca.n sajr, the first enoamp­ ment of the McHenry Counvy Soldier! and Sailors'Veteran Association is a success, and will long bo remembered with pleasure by those who participate ed. < Here's a "Season." It is amazing with what wretohsd sophistry the soldier-hating papers try to deceive their readers. The Philadelphia Jtecord, which Is ssvsge- iy fighting the Dependent Pension Bill--or any farther pension leglsla-l t Ion--says: - ' As time passes the ranks of ths vet­ erans are becoming rapidly thinned by death, and the element composed of conscripts and substitutes grows in influence. It is a notorious fact that some Grand Army Pests are formed almost exclusively of this element. { many of whose members never saw active service, and who, as Gen. Grant §atd, only began to get real mad when the. war was over. Is not this quite too absurd? That is that the Moonscripts and substitutes" ar.s healthier sturdier men than the genuine soldiers and are outliving them! The editor of the Record should be given the red ribbon as the best and most thoroughbred ass ln the jonrnalistlc exhibition,--Nai. Trib. The Department of Connecticut has made a splendid record on the Depend­ ent Pension Bill. Returns have been received from 46 of the 64 Posts in the Department. Of these tiftt one--M. A. Tainter, of Colchester--voted against the proposed bill. Of the remainder 36 Posts voted unanimously in fa^er of the bill, and in the other nine there was but a vote apiece against the bill, making, with the 18 adverse votes cast by Tainter Post, but 26 votes against the bill altogether. Among the Posts which votod unanimously for the bill were Nathaniel Lyon and Robert O. Tyler Posts, of Hartford; Admiral Foots, Henry C. Merwln and General Von Stelnwehr, of New ilaven; Ellas Howe, Jr., of Bridgeport; Sedgwick, of Norwich; Merriam, of Meriden; Wadhams, of Waterbury; Stanley of New Britain, and Buck in ;ham Post, of Norwalk, Mansfield Post, of Middle- town, has not reported. E. D. Picket Post, of Kidgefield, of which Lonns- berry Is a member, also voted unani­ mously for the bill advised by the National Encampment. The Posts which have not voted are, with the exception of the Mansfield Post, in the country towns. It is calculated thai there are 10,000 veteran soldiers living la the State. Of that number upwards of 7 039 are mem berg of. Grand Army Posts.--National Tribune. The annual meeting of the National Association of Prisoners of War will be held in this city, Sept. 22 and 23.

Being a Yankee boy, he de­ termined to skirmish for * afpan meal; so, going just oat of asaip, to the house of Mrs. Soott, cnllodGlaf^ mont, he charmed the good loaftlag girls by playing dosens of tuM« an en old banjo, singing a few sMCS^aad flattering the best-looking girls (SMM were very comely), sad pleaslqg Mrs. SoottjB little girl, who insisted ha should see her ma, and he was lad by hor to tho reception room, in whloh stood a "Chlckariag,*' Tho yooag officer began to play aad siag to tho little girl, and soon tho ^sutmaut*1 ap­ peared.
