information was nnaIIy Tecelfeu on hon-
day evening that our pioneer company
would return in the early train on Tuesday,
and the town at once became enEvened
by the news and preparation made for their
reception. At three o'clock in the morn
ing the bells were rung, and in short
time the ladies', the Lewistown Band, the
Slemmer Guards, most Of our citizens, with
hundreds of children, congregated on the
public square and from thence proceeded
to the railway station. On the arrival of
the train, they were warmly greeted, and
escorted into town iu the following order:
Chief Marshal-Band and Music-Com-
mittee Of Arrangements, Orator and Cler-
gy-S!emmer Guards-34 young ladies
dressed in white, with tri-color rosettes
and badges representing the States in the
Union, headed by young lady dressed in
red, white and blue, representing the god

charter Of American liberty, reviled, broken
and thrust aside; its proud capitol menaccd by
armed rebellion, and threatened with instant
ruin, when, on that memorable dav YOU left
our midst, counting not your own lives as
dear, to defend that nations honor its flag,
its Constitutions, its capitol, there were anx-
iGus. aching hearts that followed, and went
along with you. The mother parted with
her son, imprinting 4 mothers kiss, with rlis-
tening tear in her eye, her heart yearning af
ter him, whom, as a living son, she might
never see again: SO the wife husband sis
ters brother, children father. All hearts
were moved, patriot hearts that beat in uni
son with your own-Christian hearts which
sent up to the Great Father in Heaven an
earnest praver for your safe return.
