ITEMS. —The public schools opened
ou Monday last, causing the usual bus
tle among the children, who always
seem to be as glad at the commence
ment as at the close of the term.
Many ot our citizens no doubt observed
a curious looking "infernal machine,"
propelled by steam, lying at Murks'
wharf last week, it was an apparatus
for cleaning out the canal, and was
up in thiti section we suppose fir that
purpose The photographers of this
place have agreed to advance the pri
ces of pictures, and now caries can be
obtained for 84.00 per dozen, and vig
nettes two for 81 00. The Logan
Foundry property has been purchased
by Win. B. Hoffman for the purpose
of converting it into a coal yard.
The Glamorgan Iron Company put the
Furnace at this place in operation on
Friday last, under the superintendence
of Mr. Geo. W. Enny, who by the way
is one of those clever fellows upon
whom his neighbors and friends do not
hesitate to bestow the title of gentle
man. The "degree of honor" was con
ferred on Miss Eliie Nichols, who
lighted the fire, thereby putting the
ponderous machinery in motion, which
event, like the firing of the first gun
at the opening of this war, might
prove the commencement of a "big
thing." L. J. Elberty has been ap
pointed assessor for the borough of
Lewistown.
IST PKNNA. CAVALRY. —Ou its de
parture for Philadelphia for the pur
pose of being mustered out, the follow
ing letter was addressed to Col. Tay
lor by Brig. Gen. Gregg, under date of
September Ist:
My Dear Sir : —The order dischar
ging from the U. S. service the Ist Pa.
Cavalry lias been received at these
headquarters. Asyou will accompany
your regiment to Pennsylvania, there
to be discharged with it, I cannot per
mit your departure without expressing
to you how much I feel the separation
of yourself and command from the 2d
Division.
For nearly two years the Ist Pa.
Cavalry has been under my command,
and now at the end of its term of ser
vice I can proudly say its record is
without blemish. The excell nee of
your regiment resulted from the prop
er application of discipline by its offi
cers. In the many engagements of
this Division in which your Regiment
has participated many officers and en
listed men have fallen; they met death
facing the foe, let them be properly
remembered by those who survive. To
you, Colonel, my thanks are due for
the efficient manner in which you have
always performed your duty as a Reg
imental or Brigade commander. You
can return to your home well satisfied
that 3'ou have not failed in your duty,
bearing with you the sincere friend
ship of myself and all your compan
ions in arms. With the very best wish
es for your health, happiness, and suc
cess in the future, I am,
Very truly yours,

To all eternity.

In heaven, her blest abode.

TJ. S. 7-30 Loan.
jjuHE Secretary of the Treasury gives notice that
will he received for Coupon Treasu
ry Notes, payable three years from August 15th, 1864,
with semi-annual interest at the rate of seven and
three-tenths per cent, per annum—principal and in
terest both to be paid in lawful money.
These notes will be convertible at the option of the
bolder at maturity, into six per cent, gold bearing
bonds, payable not less than five nor more than twen
ty v*ars from their date, as the government may elect.
They will ho issued in denominations of SSO. SIOO. SSOO
■ ■ i- and SSOOO. and all subscriptions must be for fifty
dollars or some multiple of fifty dollars.
The notes will be transmitted to the owners free of
transportation charge.-, us soon after the receipt of
tbo original Certificates of Deposit as they can be pre
pared.
As the notes draw interest from August 15, persons
making deposits subsequent to that date must pay
the iuterest accrued from date of note to date of de
posit.
Parties depositing twenty-five thousand dollars and
upwards for these notes at any one time, will be al
lowed a commission of one quarter of one per cent.,
which will be paid by the Treasury Department upon
the receipt of a bill for the amount, certified to by the
officer with whom the deposit was made. No deduc
tions for commissions must be made trom the de
posits.
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES (IF THIS LOAN.
IT IS A NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK, ottering a higher rate
of interest than any other, and the best security. Any
savings bank which pays its depositors iu U. S. notes,
considers that it is paying in the best circulating me
dium in the country, and it cannot pay iu anything
better, for its own assets are either in government
securities or in notes or bonds payable in government
paper.
It is equally convenient as a temporary or perma
nent investment. The notes can always be sold for
within a fraction of their face and accumulated inter
est, and are the best security with banks as collaterals
for discounts.
Convertible into a 6 per rent. 5-20 Bond.
In addition to the vgry liberal interest on the notes
for three years, this privilege of conversion is now
worth about three per cent, per annum, for tin ur
renl rate for 5-20 Bonds is not less than nine per cent,
premium, and before the war the premium on six per
cent. U. S. stocks was over twenty per cent. It will
be seen that the actual profit on this loan, at the pres
ent market rate, is not less than ten per cent, per an
num.
lis Exemption from State or Municipal Tax
ation.
But aside from all the advantages we have enumer
ated, a special Act of Congress exempts all bonds and
Treasury notes from local taj at,on. On the average,
this exemption is worth about two per cent, per an
num, according to the rate of taxation iu various parts
of the country.
It is believed that no securities offer so great in
ducements to lenders as those issued by the govern
ment In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith
or ability of . rivate parties, or stock companies, or
separate communities, only, is pledged for payment,
while the whole property of the country is held to se
cure the discharge of all the obligations of the United
States.
Wh'le the government offers the most liberal terms
for its loans, it believes that the very strongest appeal
will be to the loyalty and patriotism of the people.
Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits.
The party depositing must endorse upon the original
certificate the denomination of the notes required,
and hether they are to be issued in blank or paya
ble to order. When so endorsed it must be left with
the officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded to
the 1 reasury Department.
SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BE RECEIVED by the Treasurer of
the United States, at Washington, the several Assist
ant Treasurers and designated Depositories, and by the
First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.
