LOCAL AFFAIRS.
RELIGIOUS. —Mr. Ijams. a gentleman
who has been studying privately for
some time in this place, we believe un
der Rev. McClean, has preached sever
al sermons in the Presbyterian church.
He bids lair to become a talented and
useful ambassador.
Rev. Melanc'thon Ort preached in
the Lutheran church on Sabbath morn
ing last. He has been at Springfield,
Ohio, for several years, and is now
prepared to enter on the responsible
duties pertaiuit gto the ministry. No
preaching there next Sabbath.
Rev. Barnes will preach a sermon on
dancing next Sabbath evening.
BOUNTIES. —We have in our hands
assignments of moneys by the one
hundred days men to the following
persons, which can be had on person
al application, or by written order:
John Purcell Calvin Dufur
A. J. North I. W McCord
Gabriel Dunmire George Blymyer
Jas. N. Yanzant John Price
T. A. W. Webb Mifflin Co. Bank
Elizabeth Eager
Lieut. Van Valzah, of the 12th
U. S. Infantry, who had been mourned
as dead, nothing having been heard
from him since the sth of May, when
he was seen to fall in the first advance
into the wilderness, unexpectedly was
heard from last week, a letter having
come to hand from Macon, Georgia,
where himself, Lieut. Norris and oth
ers are held as prisoners.
THE ENROLLMENT. —We are author
ized to say that the Board of Enroll
ment of this district have received a
standing order requiring that they
shall examine the claims of exemption
of every enrolled man who may pre
sent himself for examination on the
ground of alienage, unsuitaMeness of
age, or physical disability, previous to
the coming draft.
They request therefore committees
of subdistricts, or respectable citizens,
to attend at any time previous to the
sth day of August next, at which time
the quotas for the several subdistricts
will be established, at the office in llol
lidaysburg for said purpose. Persons
who are i**er 45 years of age will pro
duce the record of their birth—aliens
will be required to make affidavit be
fore a Justice of the Peace—and per
sons to be exempted on account ot
physical disability must be examined
by the Surgeon of the Board.
The late call of the President re
quires the district to furnish 2366 men
out of the 500,000 ordered, and it is
the interest ot every man liable to mil
itary duty to see that the rolls of his
sub-district be purged of every man
liable to exemption;' for the reason
that when the quotas of each sub dis
trict are declared they will be based
on the artuul number standing on the
rolls.
ITEMS. —The dead body of a soldier
was found in the woods near Perry
viile, Juniata county, last week. He
had about 8(30 in money on his person,
\ but his papers were torn up so that
he had not yet been identified The
Bethel Sabbath School (colored) had a
picnic at Brought's on Thursday last.
The valuable horses recently sto
len from Klines, have not yet been re
covered. It seems to us a Mutual
Insurance and Horse Thief Detecting
Society in this county would be of
general benefit. We regret to learn
that the recent fires in the Alleghany
mountains destroyed a large quantity
of timber prepared for various pur
poses. Our townsman Arthur B. Long,
lost several thousand dollars worth of
butts, in the neighborhood of Osceola,
which had been prepared for sawing
shingles. A valuable horse belong
ing to Judge Woods died on his farm
the other da}'. Wm. It. McKee's
horse ran off last week with a buggy
[iu which two ladies and himself were
[taking a ride, breaking a tree in front
[of Mr. Nichols' residence in Market
street, and fetching up against the
isteps. A chimney at the National
caught tire, and came very near ignit
ing the roof. We had a light show
ier on Wednesday evenening last, but
the weather continued quite dry and
warm until Monday, when a tine rain
set in, but still far from sufficient to
wet the ground thoroughly. Moses
Burke, son of Henry, who has been ab
sent for seven years, and just returned
from three years' service, is at home.
For the best dairy cheese in town
fall at Swain's. Cogley has remov
ed his news depot to Benedict's row.

BguA public meeting was held in
the Town Hall last evening to take
measures for raising the Borough's
quota by the bounty and volunteer
system, at which L. J. Elberty was
President, and Joseph McFadden Sec
retary. The citizens who were pres
ent (which told of the manifest apathy
existing among those in town liable to
draft) were addressed by Messrs TTt
tley and Elder, with some remarks by
Mr. Walters. Committees were ap
pointed, for each ward—for the west
Messrs. Uttley, Lind and Brisbin; for
the east John Clark, Jacob F. Hama
ker and Jos. McFadden. After some
instructions from the meeting to the
committees, it adjourned, subject to
call of committees.
COMP. E, 20th CAVALRY. —We learn
that the losses sustained in the recent
raid into Virginia are as follows:
Lewis Briner, reported killed; Sergts.
Garrett and G. W.Crawford wounded:
Lieut. Stauber, Tiee, Brought, Saxton,
Soiafelt, Jack Crawford and Samuel
Wassing taken prisoners. Only about
90 men out of this regiment are now
mounted —the remainder having lost
their horses. The Lewistown boys
are all well.
—The Richmond papers are rather
disappointed at the end of the rebel
raid, their expectations having been
that Washington and Baltimore would
have been taken and Pennsylvania
plundered.
—There is strong talk of holding
the Maryland tories answerable for
the losses recently sustained iti that
State, as there seems to be no doubt
they were in communication with the
invaders. From ail that we can learn,
we don't think much harm would be
d ne at Baltimore if some rebel aristo
crat were to be found hanging at a
lamp post each morning for a week or
a month.
AWFUL CATASTROPHE. —On Wednes
day morning last three stories of the
insane female department of the Block
ley Almshouse, in West Philadelphia,
fell to the ground, burying in the ruins
some 40 or 50 of the inmates, killing
some 10 or 18 and wounding 20 to 25.
There are others missing, hut it is not
known whether they are killed or not.
— A frightful accident occurred on Goat
Island, Niagara Falls, on Friday last, near
the Biddle staircase. A carriage, contain
ing the wife of Captain Webster and the
wile of Captain Hunt, of the (Juarternjast
er's Department, was thrown over the
precipice by the horses taking fright For
tunately a shelf in the rock, some thirty
feet down, broke thei • fall, and the ladies
lodged in the trees. One was seriousiy
and the other slightly injured.
A Sad. Accident. — A sad accident oc
curred iu the Rolling Mill at Duncansville,
on Wednesday last, 13th icst. A boy
about 10 years of age, by the name of
Wm. Hains, employed at the Rolls, was
playing with some bo)s near them
when his foot aceidently slipped, and he
was drawn into the grooves, inch and a
half size It happened to be the finishing
grooves, and he was not dsawu in sc rapid
ly as he would have been had it been the
first grooves A strong man standing by
seized him, and he! i him until the engine
was stopped The Rolls drew him in ur>
to his knees, crushing his leg badly. He
resided in Newry, uid was the only sup
port of a widowed mother, who now is lett
without any support |)rs Christie and
Irvine ainput.ted the bum. but he died in
afe v minutes after He was very much
