dred and Eleven In the Combined
Excursion Party.
GETTYSBURG, Oct. 21.-The joint excur-
sion of the Seventeenth and Twenty-seventh
G. v. regiments arrived here safely at p. m.
to-day. The party numbered 211, about
equally divided between the two regiments.
The weather was dubious at 2 q. M, but the
rain ceased in about an hour, and after
leaving Jersey City the sun peeped at
intervals from among the clouds, and on
leaving Philadelphia at twenty-five minutes
to two it burst forth, bathing the magnia-
cent, ever varying autumnal landscape In a
flood of mellow light. At Jersey City
special train of Eve oars was in waiting to
convey the party direct to Gettysburg. A
stop of twenty minutes was made at Phila-
delphia, and the next stopping place of any
length was Harrisburg. We left Harrisburg
at 5:25 p. m. Two gentlemen were left be-
hind at Philadelphia. After leaving Philadel-
is one of unfagging interest, the scenery is
changing in character and so different from
Connecticut. It is no wonder that those
who came before wished to come again. An
amusing instance of the different modes of
travel was seen before reaching Harrisburg.
On the left of our swiftly moving train, lay
the beautiful winding Susquehanna river,
with here and there q row boat and a busy
steam tug plying its way across, and on the
left was a sluggish canal with jaded horse
on the bank slowly dragging ponderoas
boat.
