The GREELEY GUARDs.-The Biddeford
Times says that when it was learned that the
Portland Greeley Guards proposed to visit that
city on Tuesday evening, a despatch was sent
telling them not to come, but they came at
half-past six in the express What in the
ID they came for, seemed to puzzle most of
the Greeley men, and the only attempt at an
answer to this enigma we heard was that of a
cynical old Republican, growing on the out
skirts of the crowd, who said he guessed "the
boys wanted to see the country little, as they
were all small, and hadn't probably been far
from home before" They passed the time in
marching and counter marching, and late in
the evening they lunched at the Greeley and
Brown headquarters in City Building. With
the exception of the general extreme youthful
ness of the battalion, they made quitea cred
table appearance The memhars of the com
r--'e-, a very gouslonrarify-
for the most part, but few hangers-on, sew
eral of whom spent the night in the Police
Station, behaved disgracefully.
