PHILADELPHIA papers in their report of the
Posts G.. A. X. that joined in the Joyous re-
ception to General Grant on his return to
Philadelphia after his trip around the world,
makes the following historic mention OF the
Post from this place: '.Out of sixty mem
b-rs that turned out with Post 1874, OF Mif-
hin, Juniata county, Pa, twenty-five of the
comrades were wounded during the war"
ISIS. wilson, who has in Official capacity
put many people to Jail, will himself be
jailed on the lst of January, 1880. How
ever, his case is not such a hopeless one
when it is understood that he goes TO jail as
Deputy Sheriff. Going to Jail depends en-
tirely upon how and what one goes for.
Sheriff Walls expects to vacate the premi-
ses, and will move TO his farm in Tusca-
rors Valley. He was a faithful officer,
aud in 1877, when Communism was show
ing itself in fourteen States, he was not the
least bit nervous, but considered himself
ready to act whenever the State should call
on him.
The Philadelphia Times addresses itself
AS follows, to the endurance that the small
boy displayed during the Grant demonstr--
lion last Tuesday The hardness ef the
small boy was matter of general comment.
The boy, not having funds to pay for seat
climbed up lamp posts and sat on the cross
pieces, or wormed his way up slippery iron
awning columns and straddled himself on
the horizontal bars. To sit in such posi-
ton for an hour would have exhausted a
grown man and chilled him 10 his :nnermost
marrow. The small boy conten ed'y sat
thus from ten in the morning till the pro-
csssion had passed and never uttered
murmur.
The Lewistown Gazette of last week says.
