INSTRUMENT FOR SALE. —An elegant,
fine-tuned Piano is offered for sale, on
reasonable terms. Any person wish
ing to purchase an instrument of this
kind, should apply immediately. Fur
ther information given at this office.
E. Thomas, son of Geo.
"VV. Thomas, Esq., of this place, who
■was taken prisoner by- the rebels in
Louisiana some months ago, has been
released on parole and is now in New
Orleans. They had hard fare among
the rebels, and no blankets or other
covering to sleep under, but kept in
good health.
John P. Taylor of this coun
ty is frequently entrusted with impor
tant commands, he having again on a
late occasion been sent with a large
force of cavalry, infantry and artillery
to countercheck sundry movements of
the rebels. The colonel is a rigid dis
ciplinarian, has acquired much military
knowledgo of a practical character,
and wo are glad to learn is considered
one of the best and most trustworthy
cavalry- officers in the field.
men mentioned last week as enlisting
at Philadelphia in company E, 15Jd
regiment, Heavy Artillery, for Fortress
Monroe, we record the names of W. P.
Spriggle, George 11. Kreps, and I). B.
Amich. This completes the Mifflin
county artillery squad, which compris
es an able-bodied, moral and intelligent
set of young men, who will no doubt
serve their country faithfully-, and
carry- themselves bravely in time of
battle.
DONATIONS. —Most of our clergymen
and their fa .lilies have been the recip
ients of sundry presents since the com
mencement of the holidays. Mr. Mc
(Jiean's congregation made him a pres
ent on New Year's day of 8110 in cash,
and various articles oI household use
amounting probably to §IOO a 150
more. Messrs. Fleck and Leithead al
so received sundry testimonials of good
will, and had the matter been more ex
tensively known in the country, we
have no doubt their friends would also
have contributed 1 berally. Donations
however we suspect never como amiss
either to preachers or printers, and if
any are spiling for the want of a pro
per subject, they can unload at cither.
SANFORD'S OPERA TROUPE. —This fa
mous company, which our readers will
remember with a chuckle, will <rive
* O
two of their exhibitions on Thursday
and Friday evenings of this week,
when all who believe in the old adage
"to laugh and grow tat," will of course
attend. The exhibition is unexception
able, and the strictest order always re
quired.
TIIE WEATHER. —Wednesday cold,
windy, clouds flying. Thursday clear
and cold; began snowing in evening,
and continued in the night. Friday
morning snow; afternoon clear and
cold. Saturday clear, rather cold.
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday not very
cold, with sunshine all day. Last part
of week settled.
SHOOTING MATCH.—A fine bullock,
raised by Mr. Martin on the Mayes
place, and supposed to weigh about
1500 lbs., was shot for on the canal
bank on Monday last. Several excel
lent boards were made by the marks
men in attendance, but the prize was
taken by George Butler of the valley,
whose string measured f of an inch.
RELIGIOUS. —The week of prayer
was befittingly observed and enjoyed
by the christian people generally. The
prayermeetings in the morning were
not attended by the business portion
of the community, but the evening
services brought together large congre
gations, and this, with other efforts,
will be a pleasant reminiscence of uni
ty and love in the Church.
On Monday evening last the first of
a series of revival meetings was held
in the Lutheran church, to be contin
ued an indefinite period.
The Granville Association.
The teachers and members of this
institution held their 9th session in
schoolroom No. 6 on Friday evening,
January Bth, 1864. The meeting watt
called to order by the President and
the exercises opened with music and
prayer. The teachers then explained
the principles of teaching the various
branches previously assigned, in verj r
good style. The President then an
nounced the following programme lb::
next session: Orthography, Miss M.
Gallagher; Reading, Miss M. W. Potts;
Mental Arithmetic, 11. 11. Rush; Writ
ten Arithmetic. Miss M. Aurand; Gram
mar, George Myers; Geography, -Miss

Correspondence of the Gazette.
CAMP OF THE 49TH PA. VOLS., J
January 6, 1863. j
Friend Gazette ■; — Permit me once
more to greet you with a line through
your columns, and to let the citizens
of littie Miffiin know how we bovsare
getting along down here in Dixey.
We are still encamped on the south
bank of the Rappahannock, or rather
the Hazel river, one of its tributaries.
The Rappahannock is formed by a
junction of the Hazel and Hedgman
rivers—the latter having its course by
the White Sulphur Springs, noted as
the resort of the Aristocracy of not
only- the South but of the North also,
previous to the rebellion. But what a
change has taken place at that beauti
ful spot, once the scenes of merriment
and wealth? war has laid a heavy
hand on those once beautiful buildings,
the torch having been applied and all
consumed, and now nothing remains
save the huge pillars and charred
walls. But the 8| rings will ever re
main to mark the place.
The land here is hilly, and about
three-fourths wood; the timber is prin
cipally oak, hickory and yellow pine ;
the land is of a good quality, and would
yield plentifully if properly tilled. But
the Virginia farmers are fur behind the
age in the art of farmi g, which goes
to prove that slave labor is a great im
pediment to the industry and science
of a nation; and I trust the authorities
at Washington are pursuing the prop
er course for a speedy extermination
of it.
Wo have had marching orders for
three days, that is, two divisions of the
6th corps, and by the intelligence wc
can get it appears that the rebel Gen.
Early was moving up the Shenandoah
Valley with a division of infantry and
the cavalry commands of Imboden and
Jones, for the purpose of raking a
dash on the Baltimore and Ohio R. R ,
and from what I can learn we were to
cross the Blue Ridge and intercept
him; but owing to the inclemency of
the weather and the bad condition of
the roads, I think we will not get off,
and that the rebel will be forced to re
linquish his plans, at least for the pres
ent. The weather has been prettv
eold for some time with two inches of
snow, and I as the appearance of an
other fall of some kind.
ROMEO.
—At the late sale of confiscated pro
perty in Virginia, the Arlington estate
was hid in by the Government at §20,-
809. For this property the Govern
ment had three or four competitors
The Curtis Mill farm was purchased
by Mr. E. Flannegin, at §4,100. There
were in all thirteen sales, amounting
to §50,500.
Letter from Castle Thunder.
We have been permitted, says the Mis
souri Republican, to make the following
extract of a letter from Junius 11. Browne,
(tier army correspondent ol the New York
Tribune, now a prisoner at Castle Thunder,
Richmond ) He was captured along with
two other correspondents—Richardson of
the Tribune, and Coleman of the World, in
April last, on a tug in the Mississippi river,
during the siege of Vicksburg and Port
Hudson—Coleman, as may be remembered,
having been permitted to return home
Hrre is the extract :
'CASTLE THUNDER, RICHMOND, Va ,
'Saturday afternoon, Dec 19, 1863.
'MY DEAR (J****. —Once more per
mit me to return tny thanks for your most
friendly offices and to assure you of my
appreciation of your favors. Knox sent
Richardson §2OO in Confederate currency
a week or two since, and consequently we
are very well supplied. Both he and 1
have abundance for ail immediate uses, so
you need not trouble yourself to send us
more. If we want any further financial
aid, we will not hesitate to inform you
Our friends in the North are very kind
Fhey have done all they could to secure
our freedom, and, failing in that, have ex
erted themselves to the utmost to render
our captivity comfortable.
'For prisoners, we (the Bohemian mess,
I mean) live quite luxuriously—far more
so, I say, ti an most of the fortunate fami
lies in Richmond. In oar appointments,
provender, and surroundings, we are the
purple-robed patricians of the prison. We
bave been tattered and torn (and hungry,
and may be so again,) but not recently.
We are epicureans now, and have a large
number of retainers at our table almost
daily. We have grown dainty and become
voluptuous peripatetics—Assyrian mem
bers of the can't get away fraternity.
'We have good books to read; tine cigars
to smoke; high philosophic themes to dis
cuss, and a 'Castle' for our home! Queer
castle! Singular home! Do we like it?
I will not answer. Place yourself in our
position and fancy how happy you would
be. We are not to be miserable,
and we won't be either. We are philoso
phers, both, and laugh at adversity and
the misfortunes of war.
'The health of my collaborateur and
myself is good. We have tried to take
every disease, and take none. Even the
small pox respected us, probably because
it would have nothing to do with such a
pair of Yankee Abolitionist. Saints, you
know, are never ill.
•We have concluded to spend the winter
in the South, and have some idea of a
permanent residence here. Rich sands
much love to you, a.' d T offer you the very
best remains of a very oi l and vvoru out
heart. Vale et beued icitef
'JUNIUS 11 BROWNE'
'Rich,' spoken of, is Richardson, Brown's
colleague.
A Jeremy Diddler.
Stamford market was on Friday last vis
ited by one of those scheming individuals
who obtain a living b T ' their own audacity
and the stupidity of others. Persons are
olten duped and swindled in most extraor
dinary ways, but never before hassoharefai-e l
a trick been heard of in Stamford as the
one practiced on the gubemouches on last
market day.
The fellow, who possessed the 'gilt of
the gab' to perfection, with the greatest
sang/raid commenced his harangue by tel
ling the bystanders he had visited the
town ior the express purpose of deceiving
whoever he could, and he wished to see
whether the Starufordians of 18t>3 were
greater dolts than their ancestors in the
iourteenth century, lie then proceeded
to sell one or two sovereigns for 19s , and
a few shillings for 10'/. each. He after
wards pulled a hair from his head, and
asked if any one would give him (id fir it.
A person in the crowd ventured to buy it,
and the man presented the purchaser wiih
a shilling. Having by these means and
the distribution of some pence, and a good
deal of talk, raised the expectations and
good humor of the crowd, lie thought it
time to begin business on his own account.
He purchased about twenty five matches
for 6</., and offered ihetri for sale at Is.
each. The lookers on no doubt thinking
he was about the perform the saute liberal
act as in the case of the hair, eagerly clamor
ed for the matches, and in a very few min
utes twenty were disposed of. The man
then asked if they were ail satisfied with
their bargain One individual said ho was
not, and the fellow answered: 'Then you'll
get nothing.' Turning to the others he
asked if they were satisfied? 'Yes' was
the reply. 'Then so am I,' was the re
joiner, and throwing a fev coppers among
the crowd to clear the way, he walked to
the railway station a gainer of 15s. or 16s.
by his 'deception.' He said at the station
he scarcely expected the people of Stain
ford would prove such iools.— Stamford
