cJled out by Gov; Curtin last summer, has been
completed, and unless the number, 5,000 men, are
gpecdilv forthcoming, the wheel will bo set in mo
. „ "T, is now ckarlv understood, says the
tion. *• „
Harrisburg Telegraph, that ail volunteers tor the
first five regiments of the State Gnard will, if em
braced in any of the future drafts, be furloughed
br the War Department for the time they actually
remain in the State service. And when this time
is jerved out, it wiH be regarded as the expiration
of this furlough, the man thereafter to be ordered
into the United States array, there to complete the
time for which he was drafted. All such volun
teer* will also be credited on any future droits
which the War Department may make for their
full term of service to the State, thus ; If a volun
teer in the State Gur-d serves one year, and he
should after the expiration of his time be drafted
by the United States, for.two or more years, he
will receive a credit on such a draft of the year
devoted to the State. These are important facts,
and will no doubt induce the speedy filling up of
the first five regiments of the State Gnard.
' -Immediately after the election, the publi-,
cation of the Johnstown Democrat was attended
and the office offered for sale. This week it again
made its appearance, with the announcement that
after ths Ist of January the terms would be ¥3.00
per annum, in advance, or ¥3,50 if not paid till
the expiration of the year.* It is still published h\
jas, F. Campbell, who, we hope, will lake it as
kindly as we give it, when we say that wc think
his anathemas against the administration should he
better tempered, now that the election is over and
the majority against his side loots up to mfar naif
a million. ’ Take the joke good naturedly, friend
Campbell, hopeing that it may be your turn to
rejoice in ’G3. There is a bright as well ns a dark
side to the picture at which you are looking.
Take Weis has got himself into trouble

tea pots, sugar bowls, plates, knives and forks, cups
and all the paraphernalia coming. before and fol

quence is that the children all crowd in there.
He has also a choice selection of confectioneries

A wedding transpired in Pittsburgh, on
Sunday evening week, and the bride ran away
with another man in two days after —Standard.
■ A slight mistake, Mr. Standard, as to locality.
The fellow that was married two days was hitched
up by Esquire Spellman, of this place. After being
“sacked" by his companion he came back to the
Squire to get his harness taken off.” but the Squire
could not find a statute in Purdon, on any other
code of laws, which provided for the case, and the
unhappily hitched individual must wear the har
ness until Judge Taylor, or our soloms at Harris
burg. unbuckle the haanes.
The deer have had to suffer lately.—
Gre»''numbers of them have bgen brought into
itiSs place, and they are being shipped East daily
from the different stations between this place and
Huntingdon. Three of the limiters from this
place returned on Monday last, bringing in seven
deer and a very large bear. The latter they sold
readily for $75. It weighed in the neighborhood
of 40U pounds. The hunters were Messrs. R. B.
Taylor, Shannon Taylor igul A. Roush. They
are now out on another hunt.

Will They Hear of this at Home?” THE GREAT ENGLISH REMEDY
By Maloen Valentine.
Written after the fight at lierrvvilie, Va„ where
the I fit It Pa. Cavalry .lost their color bearer, and
had their Colonel severely wounded, in o daring
charge on the enemy..
Smoke shrouded was the shell plowed field.
Charge followed charge through fire and flame.
Once more our stubborn line of steel
Stoou.as the dark squares onward came.
Our Coronel, faint mid smitten sore,
Spurred down through gusts of leaded rain
•‘Close up, dear boys, our flag liefore
lias never called on us in vain.”
His voice dosed up our much thinned ranks,
Twin cheers aiid'vdlieys rent the vale
Our standard bearer, pressing on
Foil in the answering hail;
A stripling caught hi* dear bequest.
As to I lieir midst lie hewed his way,
Flung out our banner-'o'er their crest.
And held a score at bav.
Loud rang our tribute to his deed.
Fast in jiis steps our siibres pressed
And reached him, staining with his gore
The standard on his breast.
As soft we .raised him—for the day
Was won—his white lips flecked .with foam.
Faint mannered, as he strove to pray,
“ O, will they hear of this at home/'
Coi’.iiscxtox. —M G made a blunder, or a mistake
in a figure, in the closing sentence of our nonce of
the Philharmonic entertainment, in*our last issue.
Wo should have said that the concert .for the bene
fit of the Soldier's Monument Fund, will be given
on Monday evening, December 2(ith. The concert
will be worth the money and the object worthy of
double the admittur.ee fee. We will be able to
give particulars in our next issue.
Sajy*We learn from the Ehensburg Alleahcnum.
that a few days since, while two soldiers were riding
on horseback, in the vicinity of Hoppcls Mill, in
Cambria County, they were tired upon by some
per-on in umlmsh, and one of them wounded in the
ankle by a bullet. The woods of Cumbria do not
appear to he a healthy place for Union soldiers.
We do nut envy the county the reputation of it is
acquiring.

Mr. Johnson '.—Dear Sir: My wife bad been afflicted
with neuralgia for a long time. It commenced on her in
1859 She was bo bad with it that she waa obliged to lie
in bed about;four days in the week. She tried everything
that we heard of that was recommended for that dbease'
but she got no relief; then we tried medical advice but it
done no good. At last I thought she must die, as 1
thought there was no cure. But in »he spring of 1863,1
believe in March, a daughter of Mr. Dickey’s, who lives in
the Court with me, eaid, “Why dont you get Johnson’s
Rheumatic Compound and Blood Purifier. It cured juy
father of the rheimmtisip when ho was a cripple, and the
doctor could.do nothing for him.” So 1 got a bottle of
your medicine, and before my wife had the hall of it used,
„j K . was cured. It is now more than a year since, and she
has not been troubled with it sinew. This 1 can tostify to,
on oath. Yours,
