Personal NOTES.

w hiioh u. DdniCiS, lOIlHeI Snep-
herdstoWn boy, who has been in the
United States Navy for the past. three
years and live months, arrived home
lew days ago, having received his honor
able discharge when the term for which
he had enlisted expired. Mr.. Daniels
was a flrSt-claSS petty officer on the San
FRANCISCO, and was in the fight with the
MexlcanS at Vera Cruz few weeks ago.
he was IN the party that went ashore and
drove the Mexican soldiers from Vera
Cruz, and he says that the lighting was
very spirited for an hour or two. The
most trouble, however, was from the
''SniperS," MeXicanS who concealed
themselves in houses and public buildings
and took pot shots at the Americans.
Billy says that il wasn't entirely funny to
know that any moment you might get in
the way OF Mexican bullet. One of his
most intimate chumS was shot and badly
hurt. AT Tampico Billy saw Douglas
Frazier, also OF ShepherdStown, and he
says Doug was trifle nervous. When
his time was up MIR. Daniels decided not
to re-enliSt and came to New York on
the ship Montana, which carried the
bodies OF those who were killed at Vera
Cruz and the most OF those who were
wounded in that fight. He came from
New York to Shepherdstowno on a motor
cycle. He will spend few months with
