The 23d of August is the old corps' noted day, but as that falls on Sunday, Monday next, the 24th, will be cele brated. The company is well launched upon its second century, but gathering years have not diminished its vigor and efficiency or its patriotism, nor dimned the ardor of our people's affection for it. Steady, boys ! and remember the old fellows who have gone before you, your fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers.
