We hear from Middletown, that some time since, a number of
respectable senior gentlemen, near 60, formed themselves
into a company for attaining the military art--- they have
met every monday since, and have got to a great degree of
perfection in the art, and are resolute and determined to
preserve the liberty of their country at the hazard of their
lives.  What is still more remarkable, their drummer is
upwards of 80 years of age, and as much engaged, and alert,
as any young lad.
