You are respectfully invited to attend a Special Public Encamp­ment of the 159th Regt. N. Y . State Volunteers Veteran Association, Monday evening, Apri l 9th, in the Council Chamber, Borough H a l l , at 8 P. M .

By request, Gen. Horatio C. K i n g has kindly consented to repeat his address, "The Campaign of 1864 in the Shenandoah Valley," recently delivered before the Military Order of the L o y a l Legion.

Hon. M a r k D. Wilber, Q. M . , 159th N. Y . S. V. , Staff of Gen. Molineux, wi l l deliver an address on the "Bat t l e of Irish Bend," and relate the incident connected with our flag at Port Hudson, and wi l l also refer to his recent trip to Cuba.
