Bloody Ninth Will Next Meet In Reunion At Lafayette.

John H. Thornton and A. J. Galbraith, were the only Rensselaer survivors of the “bloody ninth” regiment who attended the annual reunion at Elkhart last week. The next annual meeting will be held at Lafayette. The ranks of this famous regiment are fast thinning, but they had a good reunion and a fair attendance.
