jay- On Wednesday of Inst week, the 23d
Regiment of New York State Volunteers, arrived at El
mira, their term of service having expired. A most mel
gacholy accident occurred near Millersburg, on the Wil
liam-port and El mint Railroad. Captain CLARK, of Co.
I!, was knocked from the top of the train, while passing
abridge, and instantly killed. It was a sad affair, altir
passing the perils of the battle-field and carup for two
Kngyears, to be thus bereft of life, just as home and
friends were almost in sight.
The gonial days of spring are upon us
The dt lighful associations of beauty, loveliness and song
-reet us in the full heartiness of vernal joy. The winged
warblers of the forest have tuned their voices to the sea
f aof buds and flowers, and ail nature is opening itself
tr, the superb splendor of the delightful days of Spriug.
Ret this opening is no comparison to the magnificent
st k <>f fashionable Spring and Summer Goods now be
ing opened at HEN MEUCUK'S store—the bon ton of fash,
i.a,eiegance and worth. ['Ant that worth a new hat?]
THF. CROPS. —We still have cheering
*-rami's from Wisconsin, lowa, Indiana, Michigan and
Illinois representing the condition of the winter wheat
a- very promising. The prospect for a large fruit crop
are excellent. The weather has been very favorahle for
planting, and the farmers have availed themselves of it
in plan: largely of corn. oat% Ac. In some parts of Uli
snis-agar cane, tobacco aud flax have received greatly
increased attention. If the season be a favorable one
there will be an abundant harvest.
—The prospect of an abundant crop in this State is al
so favorable.
fca?* THE LAST PROCLAMATION. —The last
proclamation of tbe Presi ent will be found on our first
pane, ano will be of interest to foreign-born citizens.—
The New York correspondent of tiie Philadelphia f.rrig
tr .ays that with regard to conscription among aliens,
the proclamation was issued after diplomatic correspon
dence had made fully known the position of the English
'< ivernment on the question, sc that no difficulty can be
sati ,pated on that score. The correspondence, it is
said, was courteous and indicative of a disposition on the
part of the British foreigh office to throw no obsticlesin
'. .e way of this Government not clearly countenanced by
international usage.
—On onr first page will also be found the instructions
to the Provost Marshals, and the causes of exemption
from the coming draft. It will be found to contain val.
nabic information to all concerned.
A COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE. —We
notice by our exchanges that the Union League of Lan
faster has derided upon erecting a suitable monument in
memory ot the gallant dead of this war, in one of the
public squares of that city. The idea is a good one. aud
was suggested by a correspondent of the Heportei over a
Tear ago.
"Id Bradford has contributed her share of brave men to
tarry on this fight, many, very many of whom have fal
'fu in battle, as the list published in our last paper will
testily, and more of whom may as nobly perish hereaf
tr. He most earnestly urge the propriety of erecting a
r ittip Monument in the centre of our public square, to
be inscribed with the names of such as have fallen, or
may fall hereafter in battle. Let the citizens of the whole
county contribute a irifie and erect a monument that
B iil reflect credit upon themselves and the cause they
bave so nobly sustained.
CONCERT. —Prof. J G. TOWNER, witb
bis troupe of Concert singers, " The Yankee Boys," gave
' —r citizens a rich treat on Tuesday and Wednesday
tvenings. The pleasure exhibited by the large audience
ln attendance throughout the whole evening's entertain
ment manifested itself in frequent and hearty shouts of
Applause. The whole proceeds of these Concerts were
?vnerously given to the Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society, of
' s flace—a large and timely contribution. We bespeak
■8 Prof. TOWNEK and his associates a hearty welcome
■v • rever they may go. Their concerts are worthy the
ID'ronage ot afi who take pleasure in and wish to encour
s.re good singing. Any of our readers who have the op
j- '-unity should not fail to go and hear them. Their se.

bespeak the unanimous verditt of all who heard them,
*ben we say that a better Concert troupe has never sung

Lieut. Col. GCY 11. W ATKINS, of the

The 5—20 Six per cent. Loan has be

from two to three weeks in delivering them to sub
scribers. We shall therefore keep a supply of the Bonds
on hand, which we will sell at par, with the acciuad in

We also continue to receive deposits for the Loan—in

COMITON, the is as

He cleans and colors everything in the most superb
style. If you have a shawl or dress, of any description,
which needs cleaning or coloring, to bring it up to the
present standard of style and fashion— one,perhaps,you
have laid away, regretting that the colors were not now
worn that in consequence thereof, it was a little out of
fashion—out of date —bring it to the Dyer, and have him
impart to it a fashionable color, appropriate to the sea
son. He cleans Carpets of every description, and it
would astonish you to see how COMITON makes new car
pets out of old ones. His long experience in New York
city, has made him thoroughly acquainted with every
branch of this difficult trade. His charges are very rea
sonable. Place of business, on Bridge Street, in the old

I would respectfully announce to my
old friends and the public at large, that having associat

DIED,
In th's borough . on Thursday morning, 7th inst., ELI
JAH DE LA MONTAXYK, in the 51st year of liisage.
Th# deceased has been a resident of this place, since
his boyhood. His business relations have been extend
ed, his acquaintance with the citizens of the county inti
mate and general. Few men could have passed away,
whose decease would have given occasion for such uni
versal and heart felt regret, or awakened so much true
sorrow. Kind and affable in his intercourse with his fel
low men, bis frank and genial manner, his heart}' greet
ing and his cordial grasp, won the affection and secured
the friendship of all who came in his way. In his life,
the golden maxim of" doing unto others as you would be
done by," was observed as nearly as is in the power of
man. He was honest in his dealings, upright in all his
actions and remarkably regardful of the rights and feel
ings of others. He was benevolent without ostentation,
and his charities were willing offerings which blessed
alike the giver and tlie recipient.
About one }our .-iuce the insidious disease which final
ly prostrated him, first awakened the anxiety of his
friends. But it was only within a short time past that
sci ions alarm was felt for his health. Dispite the most
tender care, and the most skillul medical advice, his dis
ease made fearful progress. In the hope that a warmer
climate might avail, he visited Cuba, only to lia.-tcn his
return home, to be able to die among his friends.
Always impressed with the importance of religion, and
regarding with earnestness religious teachings, his illness
and sufferings led liirn to a more serious contemplation
of his Jutyto his GOD, and brought him, before bis death,
to the embrace o his Savior.
