TAL%NT NOT X.I , I4I.I:CIATED. —A. strolling 'band of 'Minstrels appeared in toynmp Thursday last, and with n great .floiatrish of trunmets,they thought "to ,take The town." They call themselves " New comb and Arlington's Minstrels," and ad yOrtise 23 Ca/cated performers,but we sup pose some of the lesser lights they count twice as there were only 10 or 12 perform ers.. They :advertise themselves "of the first order of talent," but our people could not see it in that light, consequently they had a slim audience. What a pity that men horn with such extraordinary talent could not be better appreciated. They will attempt to entertain the citizens of Lancaster on Saturday and Monday evenings; The people should send their Omission fee to the " Children's Honig," and give the "talented" Minstrels the cold shoulder and compel them to return to the vocation they deserted. ,Pe.rbaps it Was grubbing.

Some of you have already contributed freely of your means, for which we feel grateful, and know you will not turn a deaf ear to our appeal in this our time of need. We earnestly invite all the friends of this instution to visit it, and see forthemselves how it is conducted. We wish them to feel that the Home be longs to the people of Lancaster County. From our country friends we particularly solicit potatoes. We require a great many, and as yet have had no adequate supply for the winter." GEN. J. W. FISRER—A DESERVED PROMOTIOX.—At this We day we are pleased to chronicle the fact that our fel low-townsman has received a " star" for meritorious services. The claims of Gen. Fisher wore,no doubt, overlooked or this appointment would have been made years ago. Isro man has performed his duty more faithrally,or lets given his whole time to the crushing of the rebellion more willingly, and 'tis but just that a star should decorate his shoulder. tlendoisber left Columbia in (then)Capt. Welsh's company, in the Spring of 431, aq, a Private, and on his arrival in Camp Cur tin, at the request of Gov. Curtin, he re turned and recruited a company. Willi his company he went Otto camp intendinA to enter the three month's service, but was disappointed. The requisition was run, and no more troops would be taken Mrless than three years. The Legislature priced a bill authorizing the Governor to arm mid equip a Reserve Corps, and Capt. Fisher's company entered the sth Regt. P. V. R. C. On the organization being completed,Cnpt. F. was chosen Lieut. Col. The regimmt was ordered into the U. S. service on the 21st of June, 1801. The first year was spent in drilling and disciplining the rezi ment,but the commencement of the second year found the Reserves on the Peninsula, engaged in the "seven day's ti4ltt." Th ro 4 - out the whole time the conduct of Lieut. Col. Fisher was well worthy of praise and emulation. In the battle of White O.tk Swamp, C.d. S. G. Simmons, the lamented commander of the Fifth, fell mortally wounded, and the command devob , ed upon Lient.Cal. F. During the latter part ofjuly, 1802, he:was unanimously elected (the Field Officers in the Reserves were elected by the commis sioned &Beers and the line officers by the enlisted men,) to fill the vaeaneyoecasion cd by the death of Col. Simmons. lie re tained immediate command of the regi ment until after the .Battle of Fredericks burg, at which place, Gen. Jackson was killed, and as senior officer in the Brigade, Cal. Fisher assumed command. As Bri gade Commander he passed through the battles of Gettysburg, (at which place he for the nonce relinquished his brigade command. and led the nasault at the head of his own regiment, on Round Top. 13e fore starting he exclaimed, " I sent word to Gen. Sykes that I could take that hill, and by thunder I will take it," and take it he did,) Wapping Reights, Rappahanock Station, Mine Run. Wilderness, Spottsyl vania, North Anna mind Bethesda Chur h. This closed his career in the Reserves, and he returned to his home but only to remain a short time. The rebels had again crossed the border and lie could not re main asilent; spe•tater, Ile was commis sioned Colone/ of a hundred day reaiment and sent to proteet the Ralto. & Ohio R. R. which was not, by any menus, a very de sirable position. On the expiration of the hundred daysdie twain returned home,but soon after obtained permission from the War Dept. to recruit and reorganize the 19:ith Rest., and he entered into the work with a will, and accomplished his elk:ect. ills regiment wassent to .lartinsburg,and j from there marched down the Valley to Staunton. From there he was recalled to ' Washington, and has been doing duty, u and around the city until the prevent time Few' men have performed the duties and shared the diffictilties that have fallen to the lot of Gen. Fisher. Ris narrow escapes on the battle-field were numerous, and his undaunted bravery afforded theme for conversation among the men who had en tered the conflict under his guidance. Ho has at length tint the reward which we doubted not he would eventually receive. A REMARKABLE CURE.—In company with Dr. A. IL Carpenter, a few weeks ago, we called upon Mrs. A. W. Fairer, resol ing on the corner of Duke and Chestnut Streets, who had been afflicted for a nutn ber of months with blotches and sores upon the head, face and body, resulting from the very impure state of her blood, and bad become almost totally blind there from. Her sufferings were indescribable, experiencing constant and intense pair,, frequently praying for death to come to her relief. About three weeks ago her husband picked up a small piece of news paper containing au advertisement of the Doctor's which he read to her. She had been treated by several of our physicians, all of whom gave her up, not being able to render her any relief. She immediately sent for Dr. Carpenter, and after the daily use for only three week of his Medicated Oxygenized Inhalations has rapidly re ; covered. and will soon be restor , -d to her wonted health. The blotches and sores have all disappeared, and her sight, which was so defective as to render her unable of distinguishing the members of her own family, except by the voice, is also rapid ly being recovered. We cheerfully mak e this statement, and can vouch for its cor rectness.—Luaraster Intelligeneer. The lady, we are happy to add has since entirely recovered, and is now enabled to attend to her household and family affairs,. Below we append the certificate of Mrs. Sehmied, wife of Prof. Schmidd tie talent ed musician of Lancaster City : To YnosN Aratammi WITH CONsour- Tios.—For•the past nine months I have been suffering With n cough and pain in my lungs at,thues,vetv severe. ..I placed myself ender the care of a doctor, but ob tamed no relief. I tried !several other doctors, but with the same result. =I then commenced taking syrups, cod-liver oil, and, in fact, everything I could hour of, but, instead ofgetting better, I grew worse. I finally got so weak thatl could hardly walk from chair to chair about the house. I had no appetite, toy cough was very se vere, d could not sleep at night, us my cough was aggravated by Lying down, and sweat so much as to tvet the sheets through every night ; I had a loud whistling Lots° in my throat and lungs every time I breathed, anal raised quantities of phlegm and matter. I was completely discour aged, as ovarry one told me I had te. con sumption. and I felt that. I could not live long. At this time I was called upon by a friend, who advised me to consult Dr. Carpenter,at Cooper's Lintel. I consented, and my friend took me to the hotel, and I SAW the Doctor. After an examination, be told me that my case was not a hopless one; that there was a chance for recovery. I at once commenced treatment ; he gave me an inhalation, and in a few minutes I found that I could get a long breath with out pain • it seemed to open my lungs as soon us I breathed it ; after taking treat ' ment for a few days my cough grew easy my night sweats were entirely broken, and I gained strength and color rapidly ; I can now sleep soundly all night, eat heartily, ant free from pain,and the whist ling in my lungs has entirely ceased, and I now feel that I shall soon be in the en joyment of health once more. The treat ment is very pleasant, and I hope that all who are suffering, as I have been, will at once try this treatment. AIRS. Charlotte st., b'n Orange A: West King. Lancaster Sept. 9, '65. A.

L 1,1805, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Wirtnimss, The usefulness, power and safety of Dr. Hartman's Safety Bridle and Lines have been publicly demonstrated demonstrated in the presence of from one thousaud to fifteen hundred persons to their entire satisfaction; and since it was proven at the Millersville horse exhibition on four of the most vicious and confirmed kickers and runaways, that with the Safety Bridle and Lines it is utterly impossible for a horse either to kick or runaway; therefore Resolved, That we the Saddlers of Lan caster county, Pa., believe that the Safety Bridle and Lines accomplish all and even more, than is claimed by the patentee, in preventing horses from kicking and run ning away. Resolved, that in view of the above facts we deem it,our legitimate duty, both indi vidually and collectively, to exert all hon orable means to at once introduce the Bridle and Lines, because in doing so we in a very great measure prevent all acci dents with horses, while with the old and defective bridle we put in great jeopardy both life and limb. Resolved, That hereafter we manufacture no other but Safety Bridles, unless especi ally ordered. The price of individual Rigllte Is .$5 each; County Rights, from 1011.00 to 500.00 accor ding to popubition—these containing large cities excepted. No other investment before the public presents such inducements of making money. In every county there are at least twenty townships, and in each township &least one hundred persons who drive horses—which at five dollars for an indi- vidnal right will amount to 1500 per town ship, and ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each county , at, the rate of t minty townsnips at live hundred dollars each ! I have not the least doubt but that amount of money can be made out of a county with proper business tact and energy. The price of counties Is so small as to place the Invest ment in the hands of every one, for few are so poor as to be unable to raise one hun dred dollars. Another feature about this invention is that the proprietor of the territory need not manufacture the bridles and lines as the ordinary bridle can be easily , altered Into a Safety. The lines only require to be made to order, and these can be made by any saddler for a trifle more than the ordinary lines. Renee, unlike other patents, the right to use it only is sold. No manht need Sta wishte. for ow the To a sh greater focortunenfi than rig of a deuce the patentee has in his invention,he otters to pay 1,000 dollars for any horse that can either kick or run away when under the influence of the Safety Bridle and Lines. For County and State rights address for circular, and for Individual Rights, enclose five dollars to S. B. Hart man, Lancaster co., Pa. dee. 9 If ONE PRICE FORE.
