The Second Division of the National Guard of Pennsylvania is composed of the military in Berks, Bucks, Lehigh, Northampton and Montgomery counties. As yet Bucks has no representation in the Division. It is commanded by Maj-Gen. William J. Bolton, of Norristown, with Maj.

M. M. Missimer, as Assistant Adjutant-General. The 5th Brigade of the Division, to which the Berks companies are attached, is commanded by: Brig-Gen. Frank Reeder, of Easton, with Capt.

At 10:30 o'clock, the remaining companies of the 4th regiment from Hamburg, Emaus, Allentown and Easton arrived, and shortly after the 16th regiment from Norristown arrived.

Edward Schall, of Norristown, and yesterday it paraded 380 muskets. Of the 4th Regiment it is unnecessary to speak, The Easton Greys still retains its superiority as the crack company of the regiment.

The inspection was conducted by AdjuGenaral Latta in person. The Governor and his staff also assisted, closely scanning the men on parade, and were favorably impressed with their appearance and discipline.

At the close of the inspection, the 16th Regiment marched to Penn Square, and s'acked arms, and shortly after the 4th Regiment followed and did the same thing. Breaking ranks, the members of the companies proceeded to the hotels and saloons in the neighborhood to take lunch. Subsequently the Norristown Band took position on the balcony of the Key. stone House and discoursed a number of excellent airs. The same Band also serenaded Governor Hartranft at the Mansion House.
