During Friday morning the various companies held company reunions in the Court House and affected separate company or__ _____ __ Company ___, as follows: Co. A- John M. H__; Co. B-Capt. B. H. Keir, Co. C. Wm. S. Pendleberry; Co. D- William Shore, Co. E-R. P. Douglas, Co. F-W. M. Birch, Co. G-W. F. Collner, Co. H.- Capt. D. E. Lyon; Co. I-John C. Sias; Co. K.-W. B. Ramsey, Arrangements were made for this regimental committee to hold two meetings each year. In accordance with the program, at 2 o'clock Friday, the program, at 2 o'clock Friday, the procession was formed in front of the Court House. When the boys of the 155th had been formed, F. M. Lewis, the photographer, took a picture of the regiment. Through some misinformation it was announced that the picture was not a good one, but the fact is, it is a splendid photograph, and those who desire to preserve a lasting memento of this occasion should secure a copy of it. The procession, composed of Capt. J. B. Loomis Post, G. A. R. , Co. D. 15th Regt. N. G. P., Clarion Fire Department, Veterans Survivors of the war, and civilian friends, led by Huling's Cornet Band, and the Sligo Martial Band, escorted the old veterans to Normal Hall where the Regimental Reunion was to be held. Hulings Band opened the exercises of the reunion with tow fine selections., The "Reveille" and another, introducing "Auld Lang Syne." Col. S. W. Hill had been chosen to preside and was introduced by Comrade W. F. Collner. After brief remarks, Col. Hill, called upon Rev. John A. Kribbs, a brother of Hon. Geo. G. Kribbs, one of the best officers in the regiment during its stormy experiences in war, to invoke the divine blessing upon the veterans, the assembled audience, and the re-union exercises. It was a most fervent and touching appeal. Burgess W. H. Ross was then introduced and bade the veterans a most cordial and hearty welcome and presented them the freedom of our town and the key to our hearts. A. A. Geary Esq. stirred the hearts of the gallant survivors of the war and the audience by his eloquent and appropriate address of welcome, in which he touched upon a few of the most striking points of the regiment service in battle and then passed on to picture the union of the states preserved, the freedom of the slaves, secured, and the peaceful disbandment of the army, leaving the arts of war for those of peace. It was masterful effort, forcefully and eloquently delivered. In his response Col. John Ewing was very happy. He cited numerous instances of courage and fidelity displayed by the regiment and spoke especially of its characteristic of always being at the front, referring to the fact that it was through the ranks of the 155th came the message which preceded the surrender at Appomattox. To. Maj. B. J. Reid was assigned the subject, "Fifty Army Corps." This famous body of troops , in which the 155th Regt. was a principal factor, was taken from its organization to its baptism of fire and then on through many heroic deeds. So accurate and so vivid was Mr. Reid's portrayal of the salient points in the history of the corps, that Col. Hill with great feeling arose and in the name of the 155th thanked Maj. Reed for his able effort. S. H. Morrow, of the 17th Regt. then sang one of his popular songs, which captivated the audience and it was settled at once that his voice would form a prominent feature of the reunion, and he responded several times during the afternoon and evening. It was a matter of regret to all that Maj. Geo. M. McLaughlin could not be present to talk on "Five Forks", but he sent his paper on that subject which H. F. Weaver, Regimental Secretary, read. Miss Eva. Morgan, the accomplished daughter of Thos. E. Morgan, of Co. E. whose home is at Carnegie, Pa., captivated the hearts of the "boys in Blue" as well as the audience by her recitation of "The Jiners" to which she added a piece on the "old grand army boys," and a storm of applause and cheers gave ample evidence of approval. Miss Morgan possesses a rich, full, round voice, and by careful training has brought it under complete control. She established herself so strongly in the hearts of the veterans by her masterful effort that it won her adoption as "daughter of the regiment." The regimental reunion exercises were then closed by a splendid recitation by Col. J. M. Hays of "Sheridan's Ride" and the regiment went into its formal.
BUSINESS MEETING
At this meeting the officers of the Regimental Executive committee were elected including the Company representatives named above and the following officers were chosen: pres. -Col. S. W. Hill; Secy. -Henry F. Weaver; Treas.- Henry M. Curry; Field and Staff - Col. John Ewing, John F. Hunter, Chas F. McKenna, John H. Kerr, Col. Saml. Kilgore.

THE CAMP FIRE
This was the general round-up of the reunion and was a splendid meeting, lasting until a late hour and every minute of it was enjoyable. The exercises started off with a lively song by Comrade Morow entitled "You Can't Change It." Col. Edward J. Allen could not be present but sent a letter to his comrade Chas. F. McKenna. We are pleased to present the letter and poem below. The following letter and poem, by Comrade E. J. Allen, Colonel of the 155th, who was unable to be present, were read by Comrade C. F. McKenna, Esq., of Pittsburg.
BEACH HAVEN N.J. JULY, 1896
My old comrades and friends of the 155th Regiment Penn'a Vols.:
It is with great regret I find myself unable to attend the reunion of the Regiment at Clarion. The very name sounds like a bugle call, as indeed it will be, to all the hospitalities of the good old town, and as the boys gather round the banquet table they will recall many of Virginian town in which their welcome was of a different order and they will be thankful for the peaceful days which valor won, and still more thankful that they are sons of the good old common wealth, which in all its length and breadth was loyal to the old flag and today honors the boys who were the blue. Nowhere within its limits was there more fervent patriotism than in the region about Clarion, and the 155th Regiment remembers with affectionate pride the men who joined us at Harrisburg, and throughout all the bright history of the Regiment were brave men and good comrades. Young buoyant and hopeful they marched from their homes in 1861. some sleep in Virginia. Some after much privation and suffering came home to rest in the old burial grounds and the remnant look back over the thirty-five years that have slipped away, and with clasped hands renew their old comradeship and friends. It is pleasant to be where such men meet. It is an honor to be admitted to their companionship. To the present generation the War of the Rebellion is already "as a tale that is told;" but to the old comrades it is of yesterday. and in their renewal of old memories they forget for a time their gray heads and are again on the march, or camped under the quiet stars, or in the battle front, shoulder to shoulder, amid the rattle of musketry, the booming of cannon, with the glorious old flag overhead. O flag, that the sorrowful years set on high, For the hope of today, for the world's prophecy, May the stars in the blue of the heavenly doom, See they stars shining still, in the ages to come. Only those who have lived such lives can know the meaning of the word "Comrade." To drink from the same canteen, to sleep under the same blanket, stand side by side in a tempest of bullets, to give and receive soldierly aid creates friendships that are lifelong, and which no lapse of time or absence can destroy. Because of this affectionate comradeship the 155th Regiment assembles to day, reviving the old friendships, pledging anew the old affection and keeping alive their patriotism and love of country. I wish I could be in your midst, feeling the warm clasp of the hand, and hearing the hearty words of welcome form the Clarion boys and surrounded by the men of my old command. But as that I cannot be, I send from the seaside affectionate regard, and all kind wishes to my comrades and friends.
Sincerely, Edward Jay Allen
"FALL IN!" COMRADES
Here are the old boys together again, the Boys in Blue.
God bless you all, comrades, old friends, here's both hands to you.
I seem to hear the bugle call, and martial music sweet.
And see, the flash of the gun, and hear the tramp of marching feet.
It is but a moment's glow, We are old, we Boys in Blue.
We close up our lines with stout hearts, but our numbers grow few.
We feel that the years speed away, and our marches are done,
We dream of the past, and live in the days that are gone.
When we furled the old flag and broke ranks we Boys in Blue.
The new paths we trod led away from the old friends we knew.
For life's struggles are single, each must bear his won brunt.
The combat is not as in war, with a company front.
And the buying and selling we do, is but selfish at best.
The care for our own, leaves small time for a thought of the rest.
And there often comes to us all, a memory of simpler ways.
The kindly deed, the generous trust, of good old soldierly days.
When our chosen comrade, in the days we wore Blue
Made the seant for one, with cheer, a large, content for two,
When one blanket covered both, and in the campfire's _ful gleams
We talked of home and friends till words apsed pleasant dreams.
And the silent stars looked down upon the quiet camp s__
Where the tented ___ lay__________________....
We never forgot those ___ days ____ ___comrades staunch and true.
And ever within our heart of hearts, we held with joy and pride,
Friendship for comrades who lived, love for the comrades who died.
The wisdom of years has brought to those who loved the Boys in Blue
A deeper sense of the heroes, to whom their love was due,
And they know the honor of station and __seem but small,
To the worth of those who fought for the flag that floats over us all.
O glorious flag of the fairest land, that ever the son shone on.
That gleams in the golden air, with the ___ victories won,
With its silken folds cacarassing, the war worn honored scars
That won the stain from its stripes, and gave the hope to its stars.
With God's light in thy stars, O flag of the free,
May the winds won thy folds upon land and sea.
Till the glad years to come, with thy stripes __ the van
All nations shall join the Republic of Man
And over the earth bright freedom shall shine
And might be o'er mastered and right be diviner
And the people shall rise to grand self-control,
And justice, and truth, rule and govern the whole.
When the nations qt peace, all as brothers shall be,
An no bounds set a bar to the feet of the free,
And each flag that floats, shall but tell us again
Of peace upon earth, and good will unto men.
O, flag, that the sorrowful years set on high
For the hope of today, for the world's prophecy,
May the stars in the blue of the heavenly dome
see the stars shining still in the ages to come.
O comrades who fought, O brave boys of the Blue,
Let the whole world bring tribute of love unto you.
Who suffered through all the passion spent years
With their grief, and their wound - their blood and their tears.
o comrades, dear comrades, O Boys of the Blue,

We are gray, ware old, bur here's both hands to you,
"Fall in!", "Dress the line!" for the final review,
When their bugle calls, "Forward!" the tears of the man of the Blue.

The soldier, was the subject of the address delivered by L. E. McPherson, of Co. C. and by common consent it was admitted to be the finest production of the occasion and was delivered a most impressive manner. It was not only a splendid tribute to "The Soldier," but was beautiful in language, strong and elevating in sentiment. Miss Morgan again favored the audience with a recitation of "Women's Rights," and when encored gave the pieces which met with such favor in the afternoon meeting. Maj. Geo. H. Morgan started the reliabilities of the audience by his remarks, "On Everything." and then gave half of his time to Rev. John A. Kribbs, remarking that he and the Reverend Lieutenant were both willing soldiers - Mr. Kribbs was will to do the work and he was willing to let him do it. Rev. Kribbs made some very impressive remarks on the justness of the result of the war. Dr. T. C. Lawton's address on the "Flag of the 155th Regt., " was appropriate and very interesting . "The history of the flag and that of the regiment are inseparable, said he. He then gave a brief outline of the history of the flag. Mr. Lawson became color bearer, at Fredericksburg, when all the color guard were either killed or wounded, the flag staff shot in two and the silken folds of the flag were perforated by 15 balls, and he grasped the banner and bore it from the field. He carried the colors form Fredricksburg to Gettysburg where 32 balls passed through it . But through all its history no rebel hand was ever laid upon the flag it was never......................
