It is proposed to send a box to our imprisoned soldiers at -Richmond, and all persons desiring to contribute can do so by leaving such articles as they may desire to give, at Mrs. P. J. Hoff man's, Mrs. Lawrence's or Mrs. 11. J. Walters. Proposals are invited for building a parsonage house .at Reed.sville, a con venience long since wanted there. Wells Covcrly, Esq., a brother-in-law of C. S. McCoy, Esq., of this place, died on Sunday last at Harrisburg. lie was well and favorably known by almost everybody. .There are prospects of an extensive bed of iron ore on Mr. Henry Ort's farm in Perry township. Some 12 or 15 tons were taken out in a few days last week from a bed showing a thick ness of seven feet, and of a very supe rior quality. Col. Irwin has we understand leased it, and is making arrangements to mine on a large scale. A boy fell into the 7'iver through the ice last week, but was drawn out by his companions. The wonder is that more accidents do not occur, as there seems to he a perfect reckless ness in going on the ice over deep wa ter. Robert Horning raised a "gentleman cow," which he sold last week, weigh ing 1800 lbs. LOGAN GUARDS FLAG— The old flag presented by the Ladies of Lewistown to the Logan Guards several years ago, turned up in the Governor's room at llarrisburg recently and was brought here by Col. Mathews. When the company left in April, 1861, in re sponse to the call of the President, it was carried through the Baltimore mob by \\ m. Mitchell, for a long time aid to Gen. Hancock, and who, we are pleased to learn, has been pro moted to the rank of Major. Col. Irwin was a private at the time in the company, then commanded by Capt. Selheimer, Col. Hulings a subordinate officer and Col. Mathews preceded it in entering the capital at Washington. On the discharge of the Logan Guards after the three months service and the re-organization of the company, the flag found its way into the Governor's room, banners not being carried in regimental organizations. It. was in no conflict in the service, but is some what the worse for wear. That com pany, which, despite all the histories written by lleadley and otners, was undoubtedly one of the first to enter Washington, has turned out officers enough to command a brigade. BSjrXhe following gentlemen were elected officers of the Henderson Hose, Hook and Ladder Company for the ensuing year: President—\\ m. 3. Hoffman. V . President—Jos. A. Stauber. Jtee. Secretary—S. G. McLaughlin Assistant—\V. Irvin. Treasuer—l. W. McCord, Chief Eng.—James May. Ist Assistant—Charles Stratford. 2d —W. Fetzor. 3d " —George Smithers. Chiel Ladder )\ agon—J. Godard. Ist Assistant—C. May. SfcD™ There must bo a set of very patriotic young men in Milton. Al though not serving their Uncle Samuel, they perform guard duty every Sundav evening. The Aliltoniun says '■ they stand in rows on both sides of the pavements leading from the churches, sometimes the length of half a square. They take their position and watch as if performing guard duty, and are, no doubt, as some religious papers term them, the Devil's pickets!" This suits some places besides Milton. A WELL DESERVED TRIBUTE. —The New Orleans rimes of the 3d inst., says that among the happy incidents connected with New Year's Day we may mention that Capt. C. K. Mark, A. Q. M., was presented by his clerks with a magnificent regulation sword. We notice this with pleasure, as it is an expression of the esteem in which the Captain is held; as he is known to be one ot the most valuable and ef ficient officers in this Department. THE W EATHER. —Wednesday windy, cloudy, cold. Thursday morning cold, a light snow; evening cloudy, cold, b riday clear and pleasant, night moon light. Saturday ditto.

We still be lieve that our proposition of §SO sub scriptions (or if' necessary §100) would be the surest and speediest way of re alizing the sum desired. In the mean time a large number have already left the county and enlisted for a bounty of SloO. Men of family ought to remember that by leaving the county, they forfeit all claim on the relief fund. fiSr.Tust opened at E.Swain's Fancy Store, one of the hirgrst <tinf select ed assortments of Perfumery, Extracts and Toilet Articles ever offered for sale in this town. Any lady or gentleman who wishes a genuine article of that kind will find just the thing they want. Some weeks ago we notified our read ers that Swain's was the place to find the best assortment of French and American Stationery to he met with this side of our eastern cities, and now we will inform the young folks who delight in paying their respects to each other at this season of the year, that they will find some of the handsomest \ alentines ever seen. Just give him a call and satisfy yourselves of the truth of what we say. Hon t forget the place—between Blymyer's and Ritz s stores, Last Market street, south side. g Destructive Fire at Bellefonte A destructive tiro broke out at Belle fonte on \\ eunosday morning last, about half past one o'clock, the par ticulars of which we copy from the Press of that place : A strong West wind blew at the time and the cold was so intense that few felt inclined at first to give the alarm credit, taking the cries to be the yells of a party of intoxicated young men staggering on their road home. Some listened to the cry and looked for the light but could dis cover none, and again took to their heds. My this time the alarm was more vigorous ly given, whi-h established the fears that fire existed somewhere, and immediately the fliuies burst from the windows of the second story of the Pennsylvania Hotel, occupied by Mr John Copenh.ver. It niuit be remembered that Brokerhoff's en ti;e block was covered with a substantial slate roof, which concealed the flames until the fire had made serious headway inside tiie building; in fact, the second aud third stories of the south end of the building were a perfect mass of fire inside before the rafters, which supported the slate roof gave way with a loud and tremendous crash, and thus gave vent to the long caged up flames. The wind blowing strong from the west, together with the untiring efforts of C ipt. Stewart, Mac. Kephart, Cyrus Strickland and others on the roof, the large brick residence of Mrs. Benner was rescued although joining the burning hotel. By this time the wind drifted heaps of sparks under the wood work on the roof ct the .Arcade, which took fire and burned for some time in.->ide before it was believed to be in danger. All efforts were made to extinguish the flames, but alas, the fire hail too much start, and soon the flames struck high and lashed the walls of Gafman's Hotel with all their fury. The scene at this period became most intensely exciting and fearful to contemplate, as it was thought utterly impossible to save this Hotel, the Court House and all the buildings east to the Episcopal Cbucb. Resolute men how ver, famong which we must again mention Kephart) W in. Wolf, Evan Blanchard, H. N. McAllister, and others, applied pail af ter pail of water upon the roof and side of the house until the fury of the Arcade fire somewhat -on-ided and sunk below the reach of (fir nan's Hotel roof. Durum -ill i his danger the Conrad House adjoining r tie Arcade, was for a long time in a most ideal situation, and ODIJ through the superhuman efforts of some of the cit izens saved Irom total ruin. The Diamond and the ground in the rear of the Court House was literally covered with household ( goods and presented a strange scene. We mention the fact in surprise and shame that in Reilefonte or vicinity there are so many who w.mld embrace an opportunity of tins nature to rob the di.Miessed inmate* ot these buildings of their little valuables in goods. Shame. The entire loss and damage is estimated as follows : if. Brokerhoff, $28,000, no insurance. J. Copen haver, 3.500, " " J. Harris, Drugstore 3,500, partly insured, W. McClellan, i.500, " " Geo.

As J have a few leisure moments I'll endeavor to give you a line, for the purpose of letting your readers know that wo tiro yet iiving. Wo are still camped on the south side of the Rap pahannock, and by the aspect of af fairs here, I think we will remain in this place during the winter season. All however depends on the move ments of Lee's rebel army. I think lie will be content in his present po sition, to act on the defensive with the half fed and poorly clad soldiers which compose it. Should he come and try to drive us from our position, .Meade would punish him more sever' ly than ever; consequently we feel safe under our veteran commander. There is quite a large number of our regi ment enlisted for veterans, who have received thirty-live days furlough; they left here on the sth of this month I hope they may have a happy time in the old Keystone State, the land of their nativity. They have been from home more than two vears. and as cur regiment has always been in front, if any soldiers has seen hard service, we have have no small share. The old organization numbers between two and three hundred men. When we left Camp Curt in we numbered eight hundred and ninety effectives. There fore you can form an idea of the ser vice we had to perform; yet we have not lost many in battle, but while we were on the Peninsula, with it* swamps and marshes, and fetid wat r, diseases were contracted which car ried to the tomb so many of our brave comrades. \Y e have three new com panies, composed of oonscriptsand sub stitutes. The majority are conscripts, and hail from Blair, Union, and Snyder counties, and a finer looking set of men never shouldered a musket. The offi cers are busily engaged in drilling and learning them the duties of a soldier. The weather has been of a milder na lure for the last two or three days, and by all appearance we will have a fall of rain. The roads are in an al most impassible condition, in conse quence of the mud, which is from six inches to a foot deep. ROMEO. &-■jf* Mrs. Douglas, the widow of Sena tor Douglas, is at present in Washington, engaged by Secretary Chase as a clerk in the Treasury Department. fr-£f'fhe Montreal Witness says that a French Canadian land owner to all appear ances died suddenly a few days ago, and was taken to the church for it: torment. As the service was proceeding, noises were heard coming from the coffin, the lid was taken off, and the man was found to he alive. On the following day he was able to move about. B&=Dy a vote of 51 to 15, the Legisla ture of Maryland have recognized the over whelming sentiment of the people of that State, and have declared their purpose to call a convention to amend the State Con stitution so as to eifect as soon as practica ble, the abolition of slavery. Thus, hope and prediction # are again justified, and an other step in progress is taken towards re union. &ir* Sometime ago we noticed in a news paragraph that there was a giant girl out somewhere in Nova Scotia. Durmun has got her already in his museum. She is 17 years old, eight feet high, has a foot sixteen inches long, and sleeps in a nine foot bed ; she can't be got in an ordinary carriage; and, in short, tor length and breadth, not to men tion good looks, she is decidedly tbe biggest thing Barnum has ever brought out. Late advices from New Orleans in form us that arrangements are now being made for the holding of an election for State officers and delegates to represent the ditlerent parishes in a State Convention, to alter and amend the Constitution. The elections are to take place early in the coming month, and we shall be disappoint ed it the State of Louisiana is not in the L nion as a free State, before the adjourn merit of the present session ot Congress. fits?"* John.Ten Broeck is a member of the LI Is worth Regiment, lie arrived in New \ ork on Saturday morning.

He came to just as the dirt was about being shoveled into the grave. His escape from death forms one of the exciting incidents of the war. Death of ' California Damsel.' —The famous trotting mare, ' California Damsel,' recently purchased by Senator Sprague, of llhode Island, tor ssll,Odd, as a present for his bride, lias died from the bursting of a blood vessel. She was let out of the sta ble in the morning, in apparent good health, and commenced frisking about when the blood suddenly flowed from her mouth, and she soon died. Address by Gen. Eurnside to the .<o'- dtcrs. —BOSTON, Jan. 20. —At the reeep tioti of the old Massachusetts Regiment to day. Gen. Burnside made some soldierly re marks, in the course of which lie said: I, like you, comrades, have come home to see my friends, and I have been ordered to recruit the ranks of the regiments I have the honor of commanding to the number ot fifty thousand men. This I propose to try to do; and, like you, I propose to return at the proper time to fight strain. [Cheers.] Let us go determined to MIS tain, support, and fight for that grand oid flag—pointing to the regimental flag—that grand flag, until we shall be able to wave it over every inch of territory that belongs to the Government of the United States.
