Military.

The following we clip from the
Philadelphia Sunday Times in refer
ence to the recent inspection at Erie:
1.-THE Seventeenth, Fifteenth and
Sixteenth Regiments were then in
spected in the order named in the
beautiful public park in the centre of
the city. The men of the Seventeenth
Regiment presented fine appearance
what there was of them. The turn
out was lamentably-I was about to
say isgracefully-small, with only
two exceptions; Captain Curtis of Co.
b, had out nearly fifty magnificent
soldiers. This is a crack company
which need not fear comparison with
the best in the State. Company II,
from Ridgway, turned out. forty two
good men, and is one of the best rural
companies in the National Guard.
The rest of the companies of the regl-
ment did not average thirty men each,
and some fell much below that figure.
| There is this to be said in extenuation,
however: a large proportion of the
men are employed in the different iron
works which Just now have rush of
that the men could not get away with
out endangering the bread of their
families.
| A COMPANY FROM WAMPUM.
The fifteenth Regimen turned out
about 35 men to a company. The APP
pearance and behavior of the men and
officers was good with some exceptions,
Company B, from Wampum, was one
of the exceptions. The captain is
utterly incompetent and the men are
by consequence undrilled, inefficient
and useless. 1 hope to see this COM
pany disbanded and a better one
take its place. The officers of Co.
A, a good company, were not properly
uniformed. They all wore faded.
double-breasted frock coats without
shoulder straps. Colonel Carpenter
needs to read his tactics. He made
nearly as many mistakes as he gave
commands in forming his regiment
for inspection. The Colonel is an ad
mirable citizen and / have no doubt 9
plucky officer, but it won't do for him
to order his regiment to present arms
on the approach of theinspecting officer
when it is in column of companies
The Sixteenth Regiment made a gOod
turnout and good appearance. Some
OF the companies are superb in the
physique of the men. Between the
inspection in the forenoon and the re
view in the afternoon, the beer saloons
of the city were filled with men anG
officers in full uniform hOb-nObbing
together, privates and captains bump
ing glasses most socially. I do not say
that it is crime for private or cap
tain to drink glass of beer after hav
ing been under arms for half day
but they should not drink in company
while In uniform. 1t looks bad anG
has demoralizing tendency. In the
afternoon there was a review at Sixth
and Parade streets. 1t was witnessed
by many thousands of persons ant
was very handsome ceremony, ex
cept that the officers, of course, did no
salute properly. The marching wa
good and the men carried themselves
well, The Fifth Brigade, in spite o
its faults, is good one, and it will
I fight when the time comes. Its poor
est regiment is better than some or
gsnizations in Philadelphia.

Pete Converts Best.
TClarion Republican


All of our older citizens remember
the late Pete Conver of the Forest
Press, and many of them can recall
the time when he started from this
place for Tionesta, to establish that
paper, with all his printing material
packed in one-horse sled. His eccen-
tricities and contempt for convention
allty, made him famous, but of all the
stories we ever heard concerning him,
we think the following from the Pitts
burgh Leader of recent date is the
best:
A gentleman of this city relates a
rather amusing incident of Pete Con-
yer, now dead, but in his prime the
brainy Democratic editor of the Forest
Press, published at Tionesta, this
State. 1t was in the days of "Bleed-
ing Kansas" when Pete was the edi-
tor of Democratic sheet in Wyan-
dotte, Kansas. His office was in the
secon story of little slab shanty,
and across the hall the opposition Re-
publican sheet was printed. Conver
and his political opponent published
each week articles against each other
of astounding virulence, even for
those troublesome times, and readers
of the respective papers confidently
expected that sooner or later hostile
meeting would take place in which
one, and possibly both, beligerents
would be made to bite the dust, as they
were known to be practiced shots
One day Conver's journalistic opponent
was called away on business
and no one could be found to write the
editorials. Some one had to be foun(
who could answer very bitter, sarcas
tic article which had appeared tha
day in Converts paper. High ant
low hunted the editor for a man will
pen of fire and Demosthenic brain
but none such could he find. At las
in despair he spoke to COnver of hi
trouble, when than versatile geniu
agree himself to write an answer t
his own article. Accordingly h
crossed the hallway and wrote a
artical which in bitter personalitie
had never been surpassed. 1t wa
duly published, and Conver, who dc
lighted to tell the story on himsel
said that it took him many weeks
put himself right before the public
giving as reason that he knew hin
! self far better than his opponent.

Chairman Stone of the Republi
can State Committee of Massachusetts,
calling on his party to meet in mass
meeting at Worcester on the evening
of Wednesday, the 18th of September,
refers triumphantly to that party as
the one (which in twenty-five years
has abolished slavery, has subdued
gigantic rebellion, has added to our ma
tional family six young states, has en-
forced apology and reparation from
Great Britain, has compelled foreign
governments to abandon the doctrine
of perpetual allegiance, has preserved
the public faith inviolate, has paid
seven hundred millions of public debt,
has made the national currency equal
in value to gold the world over, has
re-established and assured the pros
perity of labor, commerce, agriculture
and manufactures, and has exhibited
for generation in our own state
model of wise, honest, humane and
economical government"

Bird shooting among the reeds
along the marshy shores of the Della
ware is perilous to the hunters, in con-
sequence Of careless craftsmanship.
The Philadelphia Times says that a
Philadelphian accidentally put few
shot into the arm of a Jerseyman a
few days ago. The angry Jerseyman,
seeing wreath of smoke rising out of
the marsh, returned the fire. With
ont getting any nearer to each other
the two gunners padded out into a
small clearing. where the reeds did not
obstruct the view. Then they quar-
relied, and finally the Jerseyman put
up his gun to fire again. His oppo-
nent followed suit, and they both
pulled triggers at the same moment.
The duellists were then about forty
rods apart, distance at which great
deal of pain could be inflicted, with
no danger of fatal results. They fired
away until both were extensively
punctured, when they stopped by mu'
tual consent. They at once stripped
off their clothing. They were dotted
with blood and little purple black
spots, where the shot had entered.
Benjamin Roe. farmer of Osa

Except ye become as little children

converts in his neighborhood. Dun

meeting in the woods, with religion
exercises like those of similar gather
ings. But afterward greybeards ant
grandams whip out their tops an,
marbles, play tag and kissing games
eat candy and play with dolls, for al

ten years old. Strange as it may az
