LOCAL AFFAIRS.
B®uWe are informed that the young man
who had passed several counterfeit small
notes on the Farmers Hank of Schuylkill
county, received them in a business trans
action at Huntingdon, and as is usual with
many persons did not examine the notes at
all, having no knowledge that any counter
feits were out. On being informed of the
fact, he promptly redeemed all that had
been passed, which of course exonerates
him from all censure.
EXCURSION TICKETS wo understand will
be issued by the Railroad Company during
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursduyof this
week, good for the return trip until the
day after New Year.
ftaSrChristmas is again at hand, and with
it couie joy and gladness on the part of the
young. Let all make it as pleasant as pos
sible to old and young; give freely out of
your abundance to those around you, but
in the meantime do not forget the poor.
£"2?*Ainong the wounded at the fight at
Drainsville, we notice the name of John
11. Weber, son of Win. Weber of this
place, who was shot in the thigh, lie was
a member uf Company I, 9th Pennsylvania
regiment, Col. Jackson. The Hucktail re
giment, in which Mifflin county has some
members, was iu the midst of the fight,
and had two killed and twenty five wounded.
BssTCapt. W. W. Brown, of Bellefonte,
(formerly a resident of Lew is town,) parsed
down the road last Friday with I>2 men,
which he recruited principally among the
sterling yoenianry of Centre county. They
presented a creditable appearance, and, un
der his lead, will no doubt prove as valiant
as they have shown themselves to be pa
triotic.
THE NEXT COURT. —Judges Woods,
Morrison and Turner will take their seats
on the bench of this county or. the first
Monday in January, when, we hope, anew
leaf will he turned up, at least in some re
spects. Me do not mean to find fault with
the mode in which business has been con
ducted, for it only followed tlie old track,
and of that kind was probably as good as
the bc.-t; but no one will deny there is am
ple room for reform. In the first place,
there are many old cases on the docket, in
all stages of preparation, with numberless
items of costs, which after due notice,
ought to be stricken off at the expense of
the plaintiffs. Next we have another class
which are on and off the trial lists, just as
occasion .suits, being apparently kept there
cither for the purpose uf staving off judg
wents, or else for the sake of litigation. —
These ought to have a peremptory order
to be ready for trial when called or be di
rected to vamose the ranch. A rule
c mid, with much propriety, be adopt
e 1 to prevent counsel from bullying wit
nesses and defaming those whom they are
employed against. If some gas must be let
loose at times, let the lawyers spout it at each
other. The license question also presents
ample room for reform. While the pub
lie does not ask a total suspension of* the
sole of liquors—though it were well if it
were so—the people have a right to expect
and demand that liquor shall be sold accor
din'/ to fair. Let the Judge tell them at
once, •< If any complaint is made that you
have sold liquor to minors, to men of in
temperate habits, or suffered or encouraged
drunkenness, gambling or rowdyism of
any description about your premises, I will
revoke your license or fine and imprison
you to the extent of the law, as the case
•nay be." Let him say to those who are
-elling; liquor without license, " I will pun
ish you to the full extent of the law in ev
er }' case of conviction," and the evil will
soon be lessened, if not abated altogether,
•f these threats are carried out. Let him
also say to constables, " It is your duty to
report violations of the law to the court —
to arrest all drunken men and commit thorn
to jail," and our streets would soon be free
' r otn this now too common object. There
ar e many other matters—such as malicious
mischief, rowdyism on the streets of both
boys and men, &c., that peed but ope or
two wholesome examples, to prevent their
rcpitition. The time is auspicious for ta
king ground against some of the most flag
rant evils among ps—and the sooner it is
done the better.

CAMP MATHEWS, near Frederick Citv, I
i# VJ - I)ec - lßt h. |
Mr. bailor Taking it for granted that
any news from the Logans is always accepta
ble, I will tell you, as well as I can, what we
hare been doing since we bare been " gone
to the wars." Our principal duty, so far, has
been picketing along the Potomac. This is
sometimes rendered a little exciting, when,
from the bushes which grow so luxuriantly
on the opposite shore, we may expect a stray
leaden messenger to find its way amongst us,
sent by the kind hands of the " Secesh."—
Still, as yet, none of us have been compelled
to be the unwilling recipients of their medi
cines, which they scatter so profusely, in
the shape of pills, among the " Yankees."
We have been moved around considerably,
sometimes not staying more than two or
three days at one place. So far we have been
blessed with good encampments, as regarded
water and fuel, although our camp at Muddy
Branch well deserved its name, being at all
times nearly one mass of mud, and the men
continually carried around on their feet about
ten pound of the " sacred soil" of Maryland,
which is, to say the least, anything but a soil
to be bragged of. We are at present in a
very pleasant camp, about two and a half
miles west of Frederick city. It is very
pleasantly situated in all respectß, there be
ing plenty of water handy, which you need
not be told is something of very great impor
tance in a camp. llow long we may remain
here lam unable to say. Even as I write we
are under heavy marching orders, but where
to go, lam equally in ignorance. We have
reports of engagements in which we
are to take part, but whether they are only
put in flight to try us or not, I am not pre
pared to say. I can say though, that the
Logans are not only ready but willing to do
all in their power for the glorious cause in
which they are engaged. We have not as
yet had any brushes with the " chivalry,"
although we came very near getting into one
at Ball's Bluff. There has been considerable
sickness in our company, but of all who were
at the hospital there now remains but one,
and we have assurance that he will be with
us in a day or two. To me it is a little sur
prising that there has not been a great many
more sick, which would seem to be conse
quent upon the frequent change of water and
surroundings. At present there is only one
thing that seems at all to trouble the boys,
and that is the scarcity of girls. But as al
most every one has his "sweetheart" at home,
and gets letters from her, they get over that
difficulty pretty well. Still, when a lady ap
pears in sight, there is a great rush to see
her. This may seem strange at first thought,
but when I tell you that we have been for
weeks at a time without seeing a woman's
face, you will see that it is only natural. We
have seen nitre of tliein since our stay in our
present camp than wo saw in all our travels
since we left Washington City. Our camp is
named Camp Mathews, after our Major, who
is, I can assure you, of great use to our rcg
intent. Everybody in it speaks well of him,
which is saying a great deal, for it is not ma
ny meu who could please as large a body of
men as ours as well as he has done. There
is nothing of importance to communicate now.
Should any thing occur, I will let you know.
With many regards, and hoping we may
all meet after the war, 1 remain
Yours truly E. W. G.
From the 49ih Pennsylvania Regiment
CAMP GRIFFI.II, VA. 1
December, 19th, 1861. )
Friend GnzeUe— Knowing that your ro.i l
or* out in the Valley are always glail to hor
from their friends and old neighbors now in
the army, especially as our company (Oapt.
Maclay's) was formed in Milroy and neigh
borhood. and as some one orer tho signature
of A. 55 lias given your readers a good report
of us, it is the earnest wish of all our mem
hers to keep our good name, and it will riot
he because wo do not try if we do not keep
it, and our friends can always expert to bear
of us doing our whole duty. The 49tii K"gt
P. V. is composed of men from central Penn
sylvania, at least the major part of it, and
better men are not found anywhere. The
49th has always had a good name here, at
least we have the poet of honor in (Jen. llan
cock's Brigade. Ever since we came t old
Virginia our duties have been nearly the
same: picketing, wood chopping, and a good
deal of drilling, to keep us out of mischief:
in fact we have done more duty than is usual
ly required of reg tnents, but we have done
it without grumbling, and will continue to do
all that we are asked to do, and that most
cheerfully. For how can any one refuse when
our Colonel requests us to do anything? lie
does not even have to command, but if he
requests anything to be done, that is all that
is necessary, for no Colonel was ever obeyed
more cheerfully by his men than Col. Irwin.
Somehow I cannot explaiu it. but if a nian be
ever so stubborn, if the Colonel only speaks,
it is enough—he cannot help but obey.
The health of the regiment is very good,
considering tho climate and the mode of liv
ing, though for the last tw<> weeks the weather
has ben uiore like summer than winter. We
moved our camp week befure last to higher
ground. We have raised our tents alout 4
feet above the ground, filling in below with ;
Jogs, which make ihem very comfortable. We
have made fire-places iu the rear of them, I
making chimneys out of mud and sticks; tliey
draw very well if the wind blows the right
way, but if it does not the smoke goes every
other place but out of the chimney. Our ra
tions are abundant and good, lhere is a little
growling about the pilot bread being so hard,
and lasting so long, fur it scorns we cannot
eat Uncle Sam out of hard crackers. Some
of the boys say the Government will have to
get them a new set of teeth, for tbeir own are
worn down to the gums —a few will say d—n
the crackers —but still they will take them.
When we were fixing up our tents one of the
boys said he wanted a good lot of them to use
as clapboards for his roof. Our friend Holmes
M., at Milroy, received a package one day
which looked a good deal like a picture, and
be thought it was too, for he was very careful
opening it: but you may judge how he looked
when he found it was an army cracker of the
hardest kind. H thanked those whom he
thought bud pept it to him, and said his fam
ily was out of bread at the time, and it lasted
two whole days. Well, I think it was one
that was left over from the war of 1812. Some
of the boys say they have found crackers
stamped B. C. Wh- ther it is their age or
hard baking, certain it is some of them are
about aa hard as bricks; but without joking,
the pilot bread we get ia of most excellent
quality, except a box now and then, that are
as hard as tbey can be made. If you would
ask a soldier how he liked anything, what do
you think would be his auswer if he did?
Why, " Bully t" Well, Bully with a soldier
means a good deal, and if he don't nay bully
you may set it down ho does not like it. If
you would ask one of our company how he
liked soldiering? he would say, "Bully." I|ow
do you like your Col.? "Bully." What kind
of a captain is Maclay? "Bully captain, 1
Bully man." What kind of rations do you
get ? "Bully rations." How d > you like the j
crackers ? "O, d—n the crackers."
Our friends perhaps would like to know if
we arc going to stay here this winter or not.
Well, we are supposed to be regular know- ,
nothings, and therefore we don't know; all we
do know is to obey our superiors, and if they
wore to say the crackers were soft bread,
why, we wouldn't know but what it was ! It
becomes all good soldiers to obey, for without '
obedience to our superiors we are good for
nothing. Let our friends be assured we are
very comfortably fixed here for winter, if we
are permitted to stay; but we are ready at all
times to go forward. And in our absence
may our friends and old neighbors see to the
dear ones we have left behind, that they want
not for anything to make them comfortable,
for they are as dear to us as they ever were. ;
Though we have to endure tire hardships of a
soldier s life, yet we do it cheerfully, knowing
that our cause is just; but, withal, we do not ■
forget our eheerful firesides and the dear ones !
we have left behind ; and may Gud, in his
own good time, restore ua to them again.
Yours respectfully,
A. T. 11. i

None but a physician knows how much re- '
reliable alterative is needed by the people, i
Oa all sides of us, in all communities every '
where there are multitudes that suffer from
complaints that nothing but an alterative
cures. Hence a great many of them have
been ma le and put abroad witli the assurance
of being effectual. But they fail to accom
plish the cures they promise because they
have not the intrinsic virtues they claim.—
In this state of the case, Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co.,
of Lowell, have supplied us with a compound
Extract of Sarsaparilla, which does prove to
be the long desired remedy. Its peculiar
difference from other kindred preparations in
market is that it cures the diseases for which
it is recommended, while they do not. We
are assured of this fact by more than one of
our intelligent physicians in this neighbor
hood and have the further evidenoe of our
own experienco of its truth.— Tennessee Far

What the "Louisville Journal" Says:
" We do not believe that in this age of cheap publi
cations any work can be more reasonable than the
terms t>f tlie SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN at $2 per annum, with
twenty-five per cent, discount for clubs of ten. It
forms" a yearly volume of 832 pages quarto, with an
immense* number of original engravings of patented
machines, valuable inventions, and objects of scien
tific interest. There is not an industrial pursuit which
does not receive a share of its attention. It contains
official lists of patent claims, important statistics, prac
tical recipes for useful domestic purposes, and has
long stood, both in this country and iu Europe, as the
highest authority in the mechanic arts and sciences.
There is no publication more valuable to the farmer,
the miller, the engineer, the iron founder, the mechan
ic, or the manufacturer. We have never opened a
number without learning something we never knew
before, and obtaining valuable information for the
benefit of our readers, The publishers, Messrs. Munn
A Co.. of 37 Park Row, New York, have deserved the
success they have achieved. No one should visit that
city without calling at their palatial establishment,
which is a museum of inventive genius, collected
from the entire world. If any of our friends away off
in the country do not know'this work, and will tako
our advice, they will mail $2 and become subscribers
immediately, or by applying to the publishers they
can obtain a specimen copy gratis, which will be sure
to confirm the truth of our"recommendation."
We fully indorse the above, and would recommend
our readers to take Prentice's advice, and subscribe
for the paper. A new volume commences on the Ist
of January, and it being a valuable work of reference
containing, as it does, the only official list of patent
claims published in the country, every number should
be preserved. The. paper is published every Saturday
by the well known patent agents, Messrs. Munn A Co.
who have conducted the paper during the past sixteen
years.
{n addition to furnishing specimen copies of the pa,
per gratis, the publishers will send a pamphlet of ad
yice iq inventors, free of charge. Address, MUNN A

My friends, I suppose you wish to know,
Why the Poetry Machino don't go :
But to tell you the truth, since the war,
To me her notes seem all to jar.
And only now her invitation,
Is to Union men of this Nation ;
As for the ladies, I know they can
Go for the Union to a—man!
And the right kind of a man is he,
Who will call at the Tin Shop to see
Tho things that will suit his own dear wife,
And add to her comfort through life.
And the right sort of woman is she,
Who will find a nice man who will be,
Her dear husband, so good and kind,
And'll eall at the Coffee Pot Sign.
For there you will find I always keep,
Stoves and Tin Ware, (and I'll sell cheap;)
And Coal Buckets, too, all very neat,
Some sit on their bottoms, some stand on feet.
From two dollars and upwards I'll sell,
Parlor Gas Burners that will do well;
But cash you must know is all the go
When prices are so very low.
Many other things I would mention,
But 1 will just call your attention
To my lately improved FAT SQUEEZER —
Should your wife need one, don't teaze her.
A short hint like this I think should do—
If you heed it not she'll make you few
To J. I. WALLIS, fur he's the man,
To sell you a Squeezer and a Lard Can.
