Pennsylvania Volunteers, to be held during the
early part Of September at West Newton. The
committee having the affair in hand had some
little difficulty in securing the grounds in
which the encampment is to be held owing. IL
Is said, TO one of the school directors not being
willing to allow the use Of the grounds for the
purpose, and stating that he did not see why
they should have the grounds as those who
stayed at home during the war did as much for
the country as those who were drawing pay for
fighting.

The General "Grand Army Day" Com
mittee met yesterday afternoon to hear re-
ports of the various subcommittee relative
to the arrangements for their grand re-
union on the 18th Of September at Rock
Point, on the Erie and Pittsburg Railroad.
The different committees report everything
progressing nicely, and from general indica-
tions the grove will be taxed nearer to its
capacity than ever before. Arrangements
have been made with the Pennsylvania
Company to sell round-trip excursion
tickets on that day at the rate of 80 cents for
the round trip, and other roads will offer a
correspoLdingly low rate. The committee
on subsistence reported that they were about
completing arrangements with the Ladies
of the G. A. R. and Woman's Relief Corps
to furnish meals and other refreshments.
The following invitation from the commit
tee in charge of that part of the work will
be sent out during the early part OF the
coming week.
DEAR SIR AND CoMRADE-We extend to
you, and each and every member Of your post
and families, a fraternal an cordial invitation
to attend the reunion and basket picnic by the
posts throughout this county. on September II,
1890, at Rock Point. on the Erie and Pittsburg
railroad, being an observance OF "Grand Army
Day, 1890" in preference to the former weari-
some and trying march. By this reunion we
expect to bring together comrades who have
not met for years. and thus enable them to re-
vive and renew the old fellowship and create
family intimacy Dancing and other entertain
ments are provided for. A full brass and two
string bands will enliven the occasion. Ample
arrangements are in progress by the Ladies of
the g. A. r. and Woman's Relief Corps to fur
nish meals at 25 cents each to those who do not
wish to bring their own lunches Comrades
and their families, who desire to remain over
can have the opportunity of visiting Western
Pennsylvania's splendid Exposition. Please
present this invitation to your post and advise
US of its action.
The secretary of the General Committee was
instructed to send formal invitation to each
camp of Sons of Veterans in this county to par
ticipate in the reunion. Some opposition was
made to the motion, inviting the Sons of Vet
Grams as an organization, owing to the fear that
others might think that they were the only
ones invited outside of the members of the @.
A. R. The committee wishes it understood
that all members of the G. A. r. and the men,
bers of their families are most cordially invited
to be present
The committee will meet on next Saturday
afternoon at $50 to hear final reports of COM
mittee, and make all final and necessary ar
rangements.

The latest thing in society is the mosquito
party. It's generally an impI'omptu afiair
and often partakes of the nature OF sur
prise and the guests themselves are not al
ways cognlzant of the fact that they are
going to attend one until the very last mo-
ment. They are prevalent at the mountain
resorts and at the seashore, and one at At
lantic City last week was great success.
Rev. DR.. Shipman and Mrs. Shfpman,
Hon. John Rose and Mrs. Rose, with MIR.
and Mrs. Jim Walters, of Johnstown, were
the originators, and it was held at 2:9O A.
NJ, the party starting from the Hotel Al
bion. Everything was favorable to Its In
ception; il had rained dreadfully hard In
the afternoon, and it then became out
rageously warm. with land breeze.
The festive mosquito was there in manifold,
and true to Emerson's theory that every mo-
ton must have reaction, was doing its best
to counteract the happiness gained by the
temporary residents of that resort during its
sleeping hours and their waking hours, by
unusual efforts during its waking hours and
their sleeping hours.

The success of the efforts reflects great
credit upon the energy and ambition of the
female gen der OF the mosquito family, as it
is said all the suffering imposed upon suf-
fering humanity By this tiny insect is due
to the perseverance of the young maiden
mosquito, old maid mosquito, matronly
mosquito and grandma mosquito. In the
case of mosquito versus humanity, how
ever, mans usual gallantry deserts him.
and woman's usual jealousy of any success
attained by one of her own sex asserts itself,
and they unite in uttering maledictions
upon the head of the frisky little songstress
that serenades at the most unearthly hours,
and not infrequently compels the complete
surrender of the serenaded party who in
desperation leaves the field to the foe, as in
this special case, when the Doctor of Di-
vinity and the Doctor of Law were igno-
miniously defeated.
1t certainly was q dreadful night for
mosquitoes and from 11'o'clock,,until 2:3Oithe
sound of numerous hands as they came in
contact with or without the desired corpss
between them, together with the muttered
exclamations that accompanied was contin-
ually to be heard. Every one was awake
aud contemplating vengance on the mosquito
or self destruction when the opening of
doors attracted the attention and a "Hellol
John, you up?" echoed through the hall
Not Alone in Their Misery.
''Yes, you bet 1 am up and up for good,
too, was the emphatic answer.
$50 am 1; where shall we go?'
Lets go down and see what the wild
waves are saying, jim"
The speakers were the two eminent attor-
news of Johnstown, who were for once in
their lives most successfully routed. but in
their defeat they were not alone. Quite q
delegation escorted them to the boardwalk,
including their wives, and number
of Pittsburg people. In the pavilions they
found preceding delegations from other
hotels already ensconced in the chairs re-
lating their tales of woe. And the smile of
cOmmiserstion and the sympathetic
greeting with which each new conner
was greeted proved that great
sorrow levels atl caste. But the mosquito
stories told that evening would make the
most colossal fish story teller blush for
shame, and the wishes expressed for home
and its comforts would make the weary
stay-at-home more contented with mis- lot
could they be heard by him.
