GENERAL TAYLOR AND THE

While the President was in Harrisburg'
he was waited in bv the Jin vet and Clergy

the Rer. Mr. Coit, of the Episcopal Church,
who, slter presenting tht dilurent grmle.

ing effect: ;. ,

The party stopped to dine in , a small
roadside tavern in the mountains, and, afte?
dinner, it appears General Taylor entered
into conversation with a red hot I,ocofoco,
which is thus reported: -
