Volunteering.

Tbs Greytown Bifle Volunteers met for drill last night, and there wu a good mu*ter considering the bad weather. Captain Cameron and Lient Porritt were on parade and Lient Pe ritt drilled the company at, some length in some very essential company drill. Drill Instructor Bezar put the men through the bayonet exercise at great length, and the new members stewed tbemselree ▼ery apt pnpils in this branch of drill. If the Company should be challenged by any other corps daring the coming summer season at a bayont tournament, they will be able to pat a very strong team forward to compete. Captain Cameron announced last night thafat the next inspection parade on September 7th the Greytown Volunteers would be measured for their fall drees uniforms, We have no doubt that the lull dress uniforms will give the Greytown Bifles a still more soldierly appearance.

Alter parade the Soiree (Committee met and mads further arrangements for the foitheeoming event which will be a “ big affair," and contributions to the refreshments by the ladies are coming in very satisfactorily. The General Committee also met and approved of the amendments in the by laws, which will be submitted to a general meeting of members to be bell on September 7, .after inspection. A meeting of the Shooting Committee wilt be held at the office of the Company on Saturday night at 8 o’clock.
