PREStDENT,HARRiSON
TO Pass Through Richmond En- Route
10 Washington.


The telegraph dispatches announcing the
duckng tOur of President Harrison to the
waters Of the James. have gotten facts wo-
fully mixed up. They report that he visited
the home of his grandfather ut Lower Bran
don, and that he saw the many portraits OF
his ancestors.
President William Henry lIarrison.gra
father of the present President, had nothing
10 do with either upper or lower BRANDON
in fact, il is a moOted question whether or
not he belongs at all 10 the brandon branch
of the Harrison family. He was born al
Berkeley, in Charles City county. on the OPP
posite side of the river from the Brandon's,
and it is a singular coincidence that
it was the same county in which President
TYLER. who was elected rs Nice-President
on the same ticket with General Harrison
and succeeded him as President. was born.
Charles City is the only county IN the
United States which has ever given to the
country two Presidents.
The dispatches state that Nr. Harrison
and party will return 90 Washington via
Richmond, in which case our citizens may
have an opportunity to see another live
President.
