Independent Light Guard There will be a meeting of the above corps, to take into consideration its re-organization, in accordance with the recommendation of our state executive. To all gentlemen who may desire to enter a first-class military organization, an excellent opportunity is here afforded them. The corps has been in existence for some time, and has been duly organized under the militia laws of the state. The members will have the benefit of the instruction of Mr. Benjamin F. Weeks, the captain of the company, whose long experience in military matters renders him the most competent drill instructor now in the city of Philadelphia. We extend to all gentlemen an invitation to meet with us, at the south-east corner of Thirteenth and Market Streets, (up stairs, entrance on 13th Street,) on Wednesday next, October 1st, at 8 o'clock, p.m., where all information with respect to the corps, will be gladly afforded them
