These emDsnkments were thrown mp in

neighboIhood where Gerera. Grant lives,
gave way yesterday t. the quietness

and Dxious inquiry as to the Generals con-
dition. Under the present state OF affairs
his body is not nourished sufficiently
to replace til enormous waste that is
taking place constantly. Though he
takes SEINE nourishment daily in the shape
of concentrated food; yet, on account of the
depret sed state of his digestive organs, it is
not properly sssimilate5, and much OF the
strength that should be derived from the
food is lost.
From the World to-day: "a rumor is
current that the Generals ailment is q COM

The President at Gettysburg.

The president and his party arrived en the
Gettysburg Battle Field upon q special train at
noon on Monday last Among those who ac-
companied him were Vice President Hendricks,
Secretary of War Endicott, wife and daughter,
Secretary Whitney, Postmaster General Villas,
Gen. Frye, the Swiss minister, and Commits
sioner Black and wife. A salute Of artillery
greeted the party on their arrival.
When the presidents train was near Mount
Hope station, Md, returning from Gettysburg,
three pistol shots were heard in quick sue
~cession, as from q revolver, and the fash of
the weapon was seen within two or three feet
of the moving train. tits probable that some
enthusiast had devised this method of celebra-
ting the passage of the president and
that the demonstration was only ntended as a
salute. 1t created some amusement and gave
rise to some jocular comment among the
passengers, but since rumors have spread
through the city that the president was shot at.
The president expressed himself, however, rs
having passeda pleasant day and having been
very much interested by what he had seen and
heard upon the battle field of Gettysburg.
