In God's Land Again.
Pennsylvania Soldiers Returned to Their
Native Heath.
Camp M ea ie, Mf ddeeto wn, Pa.
Sept. f, 1898.
Editor Wagenseller. The thought
of being again on Pennsylvania soil,
God s own soil and among God's
own people, is a welcome contempla
tion. -A more unhealthy place than
Camp Alger could not lie found.
The news of our anticipated removal
from that sicklv camp to our own
state made us all feel letter, even
the patients in the hospital were
more licnelited by the news than by
taking a half dozen doses of medi
cine.
Since we are nearer home, we see
more Snvdi r County tieople. 1 Ion.
(j. Alfred Schoch and Attorney E.
h. Pawling, Esq., of vour place and
the highly esteemed Commissioner
Isaac SjMitts ot Meiscrville were vis
itors to Camp last week. We were
somcwhatdisappointcd in heiugtaken
so far awav from the railroad, being
a distance of 3 A miles. Our location
is a beautiful one, however, upon a
large magnificent grass field upon
the one side ot which stands a most
inviting forest, under the shade ot
whose foilage many a wearv soldier
seeks rest and comfort.
It was about 2:15 Tuesdiiv a. m.
when we. were backed in on theswitch
where we remained until morning.
We unloaded at 7 o'clock and soon
we were marched to our camp. This
was a great disappointment to every
one of us as we were under the im
pression that it was only a short dis
tance from the Susquehanna. The
followir.g is the scale of our camp
and vicinity : To Harrisburg 7 miles,
to Middletow"! 3 mile.-, to Ilighspire
3 miles, to Oliei lin 3 miles, to a
bathing creek I mile.
We have had less sickness since
we arc here and all the boys say
they feel I letter. There have been
1 " deaths in our regiment since we
lelt home. The surroundings are
beautiful and. the country inviting,
so we hope for more healthy men.
At -1:20 p. m. last Monday we left
Dunn lionng. It took nearly two
hours to reach Washington, a dis
tance of 1 2 A miles. While in Wash
ington we were treated better in one
half hour than we had liccu the

ginia. lhe lied Cross Siciety in

served a fine lunch. We appreci

much.

father and his son, Joseph, drove.
XearXippino Park, 'near Williams
port, there is a steep hill and in rid
ing down Dr. dinger's bicycle ran
away with him. He tried to control
it, but it ran faster and faster, and
striking some obstruction in the road
the Doctor was violently thrown for
ward and struck on his head. The
bicycle was broken intosiimll pieces.
The Doctor never recovered con
sciousness, but died a short time af
ter the accident. His tather soon
arrived on the scene. The Doctor
was 20 years of age, and graduated
last year at the University of Penn
sylvania. From thence he went to
Lancaster and entered the hospital
at that place as otieof the physicians.
He had letl the hospital a short time

1st, for the purpose of cll'ecting an
organization. The following ollicers
were unanimously elected to serve
as ollicers for tin- Snyder County
branch of "The Magistrates Associ
ation of IYnua." for the period ol
one year : 1'n-s. J. C.Gauglcr, Ksq.,
of Shamokin Run ; Vice Pres., W.
F. Howell, Ksq., of McClure ; Sec

er, Ksq., of Middleburg. Charles
(). Booth, Ksq., one of the promi
nent Alderman of Lebanon, Pa., was
present and assisted in the organiza
tion, after which he gave an interest
ing and wholesome address. Mr.
l&ooth is the committing magistrate
of the city of libation, but while
with us hi! committed no one, and in
fact is a most perfect and atlablcgcn
tleman, to whom our latch string al
ways hangs on the outside. (Jtutc
a iiuihImt of justices were present
and expressed themselves asdelight
ed with the movement. There will
lie anot her meeting of the association
held at the office of M. I. Potter,
Esq., in Middleburgh on Tuesday,
Oct. 1, 1898, at 1 o'clock, P. M.
All the Justices ol Snyder ('ounty
are urged, to attend. We realize
that there must lie concerted action
in all trades, professions and occu
pations. And we firmly believe that
in u united association of our justices
there will lie feelings of friendship
developed, we will lie drawn closer
together, and by that union we will
all grasp the idea that we belong to
one brotherhood, who are all striv
ing for the liettcrinent of mankind.
It is the intention at each stated
meeting to take up such . topics as
any incmlier may introduce and dis
cuss it in all its branches, to the end
that our meetings may prove to be a
help to one and all; and many of
the pcrplexinjr. questions that so
often come before the Justice will
disappear as clouds of summer..
