RETURN OF VOLUNTEERS TO JoHNsTowN.-
We learn from the Johnstown Tribune, that
the ''Johnstown Infantry" Captain Lapsley,
"Citizen Guards" Captain Linton, .'Iou-
ave Cadets" Captain Suter, of the third regi-
ment Pennsylvania volunteers, arrived at
home on last Wednesday, the term of their
enlistment having expired, and they having
been honoraby discharged They met
at the station by the German Home Guards.
and an immense couconrse of people, of every
age sex and condition in life; and escorted
through the principle streets of the town.
They were then dismissed, mingled with the
crowd, and received the congratulations of
their friends The Tribune in closing its re-
port says:
"We cannot refrain from referring to fact con-
cerning the return of our volunteers which strikes
us as being rather remarkable at the same time
that it is certainly gratifying. OF the three hun
dred and odd men composing the four companies
that left Jnhnstown, all but ttCO returned Gtire,
after three months severe service, with but one
MANNED, but very few on the sick list, while
the great majority really in improved health.
One member of Captain LintOn's comprny was
buried at Hagerstown, and member OF Captain
Lapsly's company left at Harrisburg in a
dying condition. This exemption from disease
and death, we venture to say, Is uneXampled In
the history of any equal number of man from
any one place in the service. We, in common
with the Immediate friends of the soldiers, re-
joice in the fact. May they live long to enjoy
the comforts of their homes and the respect and
and esteem of their fellow citizens, to which their
patriotic alacrity and zeal in the cause of their
country family entitle them"
