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.
TIIE HOME FOR FRIENDLESS CIIIL-
DnEN.—E. M. Black, secretary of the In
stitution appeals to the citizens of the
County, in its behalf; '• Our number of
destitute children is greater than at any
former period, 'and although we receive
Soldier's orphans,' room is reserved, so
that no destitute child of the . proper age
shall be turned away, uut all may find a
Home; consegently we are obliged to call
upon you to help us in providing for them
the necessaries of life. 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.

SHOCKING ACCIDENTS.
MANY KILLED AND A LARGE NUM
BER WOUNDEI). _ _
Over two hundred accidents from kick
ing
and running away of horses occurred
during the past year, in Lancaster county
alone nearly all of which resulted in inju
ring the drivers, killing sonic, maiming
and wounding others, and in most cases,
breaking costly carriages and hurting the
horses.
Of the above, nine-tenths were tame
family horses. The safety bridle will put
an end to all such needless accidents, and
with the Safety Li my the speed of every
horse is easily , much increased.
At the special meeting of the Saddlers of
Lancaster city, Nov. 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
