VOLUNTEER COMPANY.-An effort is now making in Burlington to form
a volunteer company of uniformed infantry. We hope it may be
successful. It would, in case of any Indian disturbances, be
extremely useful, and at any time creditable to our town. We
trust that the young men in Burlington, without an exception,
will step forward and second this enterprise; and those in the
country who live at convenient distances, will not let slip this
occasion to do so likewise.
GENTLEMEN, desirous of forming a uniformed Volunteer Company of
Infantry, will please call and leave their names at this office,
at J. B. Newhall’s store, at Webber & Remey’s, and
at the Exchange. As soon as forty names shall be subscribed, a
meeting will be called to elect officers, select a uniform,
&c., &c. Gentlemen in the country are particularly
requested to join the Company.
