stand that several women who partook of the
public dinner given in honor ofthe volunteers,
last Monday, emptied sugar bowls, cake bas-
kets and everything else of that description
within reach into their handkerchiefs and
pockets. Some people seem never to have
heard of such thing as meum ct teum, or had
an acquaintance with even the rudiments of
good manners.
"CouLDN'T SEE THE END OF ia half
drunken and half crazy Irishman, who re-
peatedly declared he couldn't see the end of
it." caused considerable amusement on Chest
nut street Wednesday by his antics. Several
dogs finally attacked him and tore his unmen-
tionables-an end which he appeared in no
wise pleased to see. A friend took him in
charge and saved him from further derision
by marching him off.
AF1GHr.-Pat. Donnel!y, one of the returned
volunteers, Wednesday imbibed too much
patriotism in liquid form, and pitched into a
German near the old Post Office stand whom
he understood to declare himself in favor
of disunion. After some hard blows on both
sides, the matter was explained and there
appearing no cause for hostilities both of the
combatants seemed satisfied. The Germans
reply was-"I goes in for dis Union -

HARRY O'CoNNoR. This distinguished
gentleman who served as private in compa-
ny A, LIST regiment, fought valiantly at the
battle Of Springfield, and escaped unhurt
We learn from one of his fellow soldiers that
his gun "kcked" furiously every time he
fired it. The rebound would turn him com
plately about face, when he would load up
and fire again. O'Connor has proved himself
every inch soldier. We expect him home
soon to receive the congratulations of his
friends.
Two BROTHERS IN OPPOSING ARMIES
Charles Deming, member of company A, in
the LIST Iowa regiment, fought at the battle of
Springfield against his own brother H. j..
Deming, who was with the rebel army. The
latter will be remembered by many of our citi-
zens as partner of the firm of Deming Smith
& Co., in the stove trade in this place some

understand that the brothers did not see each
other. but that Charles Deming learned of his
