A Man Who Looks Like Gen. tsrant-
Funny Incident.

The Buffalo Commercial IdrcrtiscI' says:
We sympathize with our tcflowioWns-
man Colonel Strong, who on the occaS-
ion of the Presidents funeral iii fllila-
delphia. found himself more auSpicinus
than was pleasant. 1t seems that, III
company with three officers. he. was nd
ing i'm a barouchc about ten rods in rear
of the funeral car, when the crowd took
him for General Grant, and kept calling
ont. "Therc's Grant there's Grant, The
women lifted w their childrcn I" see
him; men ran up to the carriage t" look
him in the face, and it became such a
nuisance that the Colonel kept telling
them that "it wasn't Grant; Grant was
not there" They replied to him, "You
can't fool us, General" One fellow said,
II have seen u too often at the frnnt.'
The Colonel having OH Il cape which con-
cealed his uniform, threw it off, 50 that
the crowd could see the eagles, aud be
convinced that he was not Grant, then
they shouted, HE has got on a Colonel's
coat to fool us
One respectable-looking man rnshcd
up to the carriage, looked him square i'll
the face, and then sung out:
1T is him-there is Nc mistake about
it, Ihave seen him often"
Colonel Strong told him he was mis-
taken, and got for an answer:
You can't deceive me, General; You
will have to put on something besides n
Colonels coat to do that"
Col. Strong then told that he was a
wounded officer; but it vas of no use.
They crowded around the carriage, hung
on it and the people along the street III
the civic procession that faced the curb
stone, took Off their hats; and finally
after it had spread down, down, down the
line in front that Grant IL coming in
a carriage, (the other officers except
those in command of troops were on foot.
the Colonel and company being in a car
rage, which gave a little consistency to
the report, it became such a nuisance,
and was creating such q disturbance, as
some unthinking fellows several times
started Three times three for General
Grant" that it was very embarrassing.
One of the marshals of the day rode
up to the carriage. and, touching the
Colonel on the shoulder. said: "Genrr-
al, come to the Continental rs q u rs
You are through" The matter became
so bad, finally, that Colonel ; ordered
the driver to turn out and leave the pro-
cession, and he tried several times. and
could not on account of the crowd
Finally, he called several policemen,
who cleared the way, and drove from the
procession. hundreds following the ear
riage and crying, There he goes! there
he goes" Gle is i'll that carriage"
The carriage was again stopped. and the
Colonel told them he was not Grant, and
they must go away. as he did not want
to create snch Il disturbance.
One fellow stepped M and said, well,
General shake hands with me, and | viii
60 away. I have seen yon at the front
too often, and you can't disguise y"nr-
self"
This incident occurred exactly as
above.

a spirit Of Cancellation.

The Union voters of the first election
district of Anne Arundel county. Md,
held a meeting on the 9th instant. and
adopted the following preamble and reso-
l~utionS:
Whereas we have noticed with deep
rerret that in different counties OF the
State. meetings have been held, passing
resolutions Directing to the return OF pa
rolled Confederate soldiers into their
midst: and whereas we look upon all
srch resolutions as in direct conflict with
the intention of the government OF the
United States and the terms agreed upon
hy Gen. Grant; therefore,
ReSOlred, That we, the Union men OF

del county. deem it of the highest I'M
portance that, i'll this day of our tri-
umph. to cNltlvate feelings of fraternity
towards all, and that self-iuterest, as well
as humanity, require from us every ex-
crtion To discontinue all harsh and bitter
feeling towards those who have been
brought back ny the power of the gov

ResoIrcd. That any ultra measures pro

RcSoIred. That our opinion OF General

that of his ~magnanimity as Il victor. and
that we cannot better prove our respect

An Alarming Feat Of n SomnnmbnIist.

The st. Louis Democrat of Tuesday
has the following. The Democrat states
that it has every reason to believe it to be
perfectly true:
Last night two brothers named Corby.
recently from Ireland, were sleeping in
room at a boarding house. One of them
arose from his he'd in his sleep. raised the
window, and Notwithstanding the efforts
of his brother to restrain him, leaped
from the third story, striking against
the railing twenty or thirty feet below,
and breaking it to pieces. He lit on his
feet and ran at a furious pacc-and leaped
over a t~en-foot fence, when he vas over
taken by his friends. He appeared to be
in n terrible state OF alarm. and imagin-
ed that he was in a boat on the ocean,
and cried out: "The boat is on fire, and
thew are after me-" He was at length
aroused from his sleep, and was aston
ished to find that he was on the street,
with only his shirt and drawers on. The
strange part of the affair is that he was
not injured in the slightest degree by the
fall. 1t is supposed that Corby was
dreaming of the burning of tue illfated
Sultana. and imagined that he was on
board!'

SINGULAR INSTANCE OF BIRD AFFECTION
The Bath, Steuben CO., Advocate, relates
an instance of bird affection which transpir-
ed in that village OIL thursday morning last,
A robin had built her nest in one of the
shade trees directly in front of the dwelling
of ex-Sheritf Seymour. While the house
was in flames, the robin was noticed to fly
from its nest, and in the most persuasive
language, endeavor to call her little brood,
who were lying unconscious Of danger i'll
the nest, unable to fly. The bird flew back
and forth few moments, then finding her
efforts unavaiIing, calmly took her place up
on the nest, where mother and little ones
perished in the flames.
