Letter From George Olelan
v am i AuiKit, June 27, '1)8.
Friend Geore: I will en
deavorto drop you a few lines to let
you know that I am living yet and
enjoy myself as much as ever and
am haying a good time. Well for
one thing it is very hot down here at
present, hut we can stand it all the
same. There are quite a few jht-
sonsthat drop over on the field still,
I.. i i
uu i ii ii. wiiu ui our comiHiny Das
dropped yet, so you can know that
we have a good, stout company.
Well, we started out on Thursday
morning for a 2U-mile walk to take
a bath, but when we cume Imck,
we were much dirtier than when we
left; but the boys enjoyed it and the
liest was the 'calvary from New
York made n charge on us; but they
were left. We captured six of their
men ami they did not get one of ns.
They said that the Pcnna.lovs were
the liest that tliey ever attempted to
catch. Tliey cauirht some of the
New Jersey hoys the other day and
took the whole wagon train, but they
were bitterly disapitoiutcd w hen they
left us. Thev did not catch any of
us. Well it takes Ix Ucr loys to do
that than the New Jersey loys.
Water is worth money down here
at present, but we get enough to
eat and drink.
Getienil (iobiu is here and says
that his brigade expects to see a
Imttle. 1 Ie also says that if they do
not expect to send them to the front,
they will send them home, for he is
not going to have them guard black
berry bushes and candy shops any
lunger. If they do not want to send
us to the front, we would like to go
home; for we are getting tired of
this place. I do not lielieve that
we will ever see a battle. For my
part 1 would like to get in one to
see what we can do. Well, (Jeorge,
everything i-, going on smoothly
here and there are not many sick
just now. We all wish it would
rain so that it might be cool for a
while. Amandus Shambach is here
and says that he enjoys military life
ever so much. I hope he does. I
suppose you saw Harry Speeht m
Middlcburg this week and he had
much to say nloiit military life. I
did' not get last wtrk's paper.
Kindly send nie one, for 1 would
like to know all that has transpired
in Snyder County.
Well I guess I must close for this
time, hoping to hear from you soon.
Yours very truly,
Gkorgk M. CjKi.an.
He Paid the Full Amount.
The Philadelphia lle'cwd tells the
following joke on Judge Buchcr:
While on a visit to this city a few
days ago ex-Judge Joseph Buchcr,
of Union county, stepped into a
large department store to do sonic
shopping. The Judge is well groom
ed, and a very paticular, albiet a
very quiet dresser. There wasn't a
speck of dust upon his black suit,
and his white lawn tie was immaculate
upon this occasion. His 'purchases
made, the Judge asked the amount
of his bill. The saleswoman said it
would lie something like $7.00, "al
lowing you the regular ten iiercent.
discount." " Whatdiscount?" asked
the Judge, with some surprise.
"Why" said theyoung woman, "we
always allow ten per cent, oft to
clergymen." The Judge looked up
in astonishment, "The devil you
do?" Whereupon the young wo
man collected the full amount of the
bill.

is the proud owner of a freak ot
nature in the shape of a little chick
with four distinct and perfectly

wonder of the community. He
proposes to try to raise it for its
commercial value to Museum managers.
