Hot.diers Reunion.—The reunion of 1 the surviving members of the 83d, 111th, 145th and 211th Pennsylvania Regiments at Waterford, Erie County, last Tuesday was a complete and pleasant success. Over 4,500 were present. Col. McCoy, of the83d, made an address. A table over 900 feet long was spread in a grove by the cit- | izens of Waterford for the veterans and all were abundantly supplied. A beautiful monument of flowers and evergreens some 10 feet high was formally dedicatedto the honor of the living and the memoryof the dead belonging to the regiments there represented. One of the incidents of the occasion was the exhibition of thewar horse of Col. McLean, which was afterwards owned by Gen. Strong Vincent, and was ridden by him when he waskilled at the battle of Gettysburg. This famous horse, saddled and bearing the boots which Gen. Vincent wore at Gettysburg, roused the martial fires in the boysand they cheered lustily.
