Reunion of the Ninth.

The famous old Ninth Indiana vol unteers, of which Rensselaer has a number of members, are holding their annual reunion this year at Mishawaka, today and tomorrow. The citi zens of that place are giving the veterans an enthusiastic reception. The reunion marks the 40th anniversary of the day on which the regiment went into its first battle at Green Briar, Va., and is of especial interest ou that account. The souvenir buttons contain the pictures of tbo gallant Gen. R. H. MUroy, first colonel of the Ninth. The present officers of the association are: Gen. I. C. B. Human, Valparaiso, president; Alex. L. Whitehall, Chicago, and Lieutenant J. M. Helmick, Wheatfield, secretaries; Lieut. John Banta, Logansport, treasurer. Today will be devoted to the business sessions of the association, while a banquet at noon will be a feature of the second day. In the evening a public campfire is to be held. About a hundred members of the noted regiment are expected, many coming from a distance.
