TOWN AND COUNTRY,
THIRTY FIVE BUSHILLS OF CLOVER SKIED were
raised on seven acres of land in Blair county
last season. 'lbis beats the yield of the same
article on the same area of which we have ever
heard.

Irsit.—The paragraph which adds so much
life to the local cAumns of the Patriot this
morning, on the subject of the ten cent stamp
for the marriage certificate, appeared as origi
nal in the local columns of the Tsmourn al
most a mouth sine,.
A STATED Morrow of the Friendship Fire
coin puny will be held in their Hall on Monday
()Netting, at the usual hour. Every member is
requested to be present, as important business
will be brought before the company, and nomi
nation of officets for the ensuing year.
THE PATRIOT AND UNION bas the following
standing card in its local columns:
'Military business of all kinds attended
EUGENE SNYDER.
How would Mr. Snyder like to attend to the
nice little military job of taking Richmond?
That would be rather 'a good joke on Snyder.'
Bedford Gasetle.
For the benefit of the Gazette we impart the
information that "Snyder" served one term of
enlistment in the army, and now has two
brothers marching with the gallant Burnside to
the capture of Richmond. So the "joke" of
the secesh Gazette is of that practical order
which turns the shame and the laugh on its
own sneaking cowardice
THE DEPARTURE OF THE DRAFTED MEN.—The
dratted men in Camp Curtin are marching for
the seat of war, as fast as regiments can be or
ganized and despatched hence. Yesterday one
regiment left for tino south—to-day another
will leave—and in Clew days Camp Curtin will
not contain a compluy of drafted men.
In relation to the drafted men here, we must
state in this connection, that the desertions
have been very large, indeed to such an ex
tent, that some of the companies are reduced
oue•third and even one half. Efforts should
be made to compel the return of these deser
ters. In justice to those who gracefully and
obediently submit to the draft, the deserter
should be forced to discharge the service he
owes to the state.
A MAGNIFICENT RESIDENCE. —A splendid im
prove-Mont has been made on the lot just above
Fourth street on the east side of Market, by
Hairy Thomas. The spacious buildine which
heretofore occupied thane premises, has been
reduced one story, and to this an addition of a
magnificent three story dwelling has been erect
ed, with its front immediately on Market street ,
leaving a spacious side yard. The entire im
provement is in keeping with a magnificence
and extent not excelled by any other private
residence in Harrisburg, and, while it adds
greatly to the appearance and attraction of that
part of Market street, it also affords one of our
Most active, liberal and enterprising men a
splendid home. Mr. Thomas has been the ar
chitect of his own fortune, and deserves all the
success he has won, because he knows how to
make a business triumph conduce to the pros
perity of an active community.

CLARION COUNTY.—We glean the following
items from the Clarion Banner of the 28th inst.:
On the 2d inst., Mr. Petteit, a resifient of Red
bank township, Clarion county, while working
in a fit, fell with both feet in the fire and thus
lay helpless while they were half consumed.
Amputation was necessary to save his life.--
On i bursday, November 20th, Mr. Solomon
Aaron, of Limestone township, while engaged
in working at a cider press, met with a !Eitel
accident. The heavy beam of the press being
insecure, fell upon the uniortunate man, frac
turing his skull and inflicting other serious in
juries. Dr. Steuart, assisted by Drs. Brown and
Thompson, performed tie operation of trepan
ning the skull, but all efforts to save his life
proved unavailing, and he died soon a ter the
operation.—On Friday last, 21st inst., Mr.
Robert M'Closkey was seriously injured while
attempting the dangerous task during high
flood, of " cabling" a boat on the Clarion river,
the cable catching his legs, crushed one of his
ankles and severely lacerated a knee.

To TUE FRIENDS OF ME SICK AND WOUNDED
Somuitu.—The sick and wounded soldiers in
the several hospitals in our city and vicinity
have hitherto to some extent been supported
with reading matter by the Young Men's
Miistiao Association of Harrisburg. But
their supply of religious newspapers is now
exhausted, having already all been distributed
among the soldiers ; consequently there will
now be a dearth of reading matter in the
hospitals, which lonely nod cheerless as hos
pitals are at best, willstill tend to increase that,
loneliness.
Therefore the Association takes this method
of calling upon the citizens of Harrisburg and
all who are interested in the .welfare of our
soldiers for religious papers; and all such papers,
whether old or late, no matter what denoluina-
Goo, will be thankfully received by the ABII4-
elation, and by them properly distributed
among the soldiers in our hospitals, and thus
alleviate to some extent, their wants in that
respect, and perhaps be the means, tinder the
blessing of God, to lead some wayward one
into the path of peace and happiness.
Any persons having any papers of that kind
which they wish to spare, will please leave
them at the room of the Young Men's Chris
tian Association, on Market street, otiposite
Gross EL Co's. Drug store, or at Gilbert's Hard
ware store, where they will be received'and
carefully distributed.

BIDIOND COUNTY . The grave of a gallant
soldier, Major Tate, in the Presbyterian bury
ing ground, Bedford, was desecrated by some
dastard, who girdled a flourishing maple tree
which was placed near the spot by some of the
friends of the deceased. We venture to wager
a nickel that the hand which was guilty of this
act deposited a vote for Bleaker and Barr.
The borough of Bedford is infested with burg
lars, who are committing their depredations
with a high and destructive hand. -- A lad
about fourteen years of age, named Samuel
Zinamers, on last Thursday morning, while
endeavoring to get on a horse power, which
was in motion, attached to a threshing machine,
slipped and fell into the gearing, terribly crush
ing his foot and otherwise braising him.
I=
GONE TO FM DAY-DREA3lB—because such 38
wedded life, when true love hallows, strength
en and extends its bonds—the day-dreams, not
of airy, vapory idealities, but of a substantial,
glorious reality and fact, which makes this
dreaming ever bright and beautiful. Thus we
thought, as we read the compliments of our
(*temporaries while announcing the marriage
of Hon. Edward McPherson. It was news to
us, that one so genial, virtuous and attractive,
should have thus long escaped the noose of
Hymen ; because there was always that precise
and methodical action in this" Little Mac," which
led us to believe that he had a tutor in a wife,
to teach him order and decorum. However,
as he is no longer a Benedict, the best. thing he
can do for his country, is to produce material
for men like himself.
THE GAMS LAWS op DAUPHIN COUNTY.—From
the appearance of some of the game which was
offered for sale in market this morning, it was
apparent that some of our farmersare notaware
of the laws which regulate such matters in this
county. One of our most experienced and best
hunters, who would scorn to eat a bird unless
he shot it fairly, called our attention to the
fact that large quantities of the game which is
exposed in market is taken in traps and nets.
By a law passed at the last session of the Legis
lature, this is expressly forbidden, and those
guilty of such offence, can be compelled to pay
a fine of ten dollars. Our farmers who capture
birds in traps, nets or other devices, and offer
them for sale in market, subject themselves to
this penalty of ten dollars for every bird thus
taken. That such offenders may be warned,
we give them this information.
Gummi Etzsomsn Outlaw HosprreL.—The
eick and wounded patients in the German Re.
formed Church Hospital, being desirous of re
turning their thanks towards their bountiful
benefactors and friends in Harrisburg, were
called to attention by the Steward, William H.
Ware. The object being briefly stated, Wil
liam S. Soule was elected president, and James
L. Forbes secretary.
On motion a committee of three were elected
to present resolutions expressive of the sense of
the meeting.
The following named gentlemen were elected
Messrs. Alpo Appel, James F. Nosier and
Edwin L. Swan. Whereupon the following
preamble and resolutions were reported and
adopted:
Wnstaiss, The liberties of our country, be
ing imperiled at the hands of traitors, and it
becoming necessary on the part of the Presi
dent of the United States to call "to arms"
the loyal citizens of the land, and having re
sponded to the call, and for fourteen months
endured the privations and hardships incident
to camp, march and battle, and finally being .
thrown among our good friends in Harrisburg,
sick, wounded and disabled; it is, therefore,
Resolved, That our undivided and sincere
thanks are hereby tendered to the medical
officers, who, by their professional skill
and untiring zeal, have so ably ministered to
our comforts ; among whom we would men
tion Medical Director •J. P. WHAM ' • also,
Surgeon in charge,J. B. Crawford, and Assist'.
tart Surgeon H. D . Hunter.
Resolved, That to the ladies of Harrisburg
we tender our sincere thanks for the many
kindnesses we have received at their hands,
and although it would be impossible to parti
cularize, and invidious, if possible,
to do so ;
yet we cannot avoid mentioning the name of
Mrs. Gov. Curtin, whose kindness has been
characterized by every feature of true benevo
lence, and although unobtrusive, has been none
the less appreciated. For .
Tho' angels visit earth's imprisoned hosts un-
seen,
Mortals are oonscioue still that they with them
have been.
Resolved, That the groaning table of aubstan
tial food and tempting delicacies, so lavishing
ly contributed by the patriotic daughters of the
city, and sr, tastefully arranged under the man
agement of Mrs. Small and Mrs. Eoumfort,
aided by a number of lady friends, calls forth
emotions of thanks and gratitude ; and long
may they live to illustrate the priceless virtues of
their sex, and in the language of the presiding
sentiment on this happy occasion, we say ,
" God bless them."
Reraltal,"Tbatore tender our thanks to the
Eay. Frank Moore for the able and patriotic
address delivered on the occasion;; ,also, to our
musical friends, the quartette composed of Miss
Sample, Miss. Seiler and :tbe Messrs. M'Gormick
and Graydon, who upon this, as well as upon
former occasions, have
" Discoursed most excellent music."
WM. S. SOULE, President.
Jaws L. FORBIN, Secretary.
Alfred Appel, James F. Nosier, and Edwin L.
Swan, Committee.
The above resolutions speak for themselves,
and prove the appreciative character of our vet
eran soldiers, and we take occasion to add that
they did honor to themselves, as well as those
whom they have so nobly defended, in this that
they evinced themselves gentlemen as well us
highly disciplined soldiers: Not a rustling leaf
of discord fell to mar tbe occasion ; sobriety,
good humor and good manners characterhusi
their conduct the entire day, and the evening
was improved by a musicalf sociable, diverned
of those vainforinalities thet7sO often mar time

Tux COMPLIMON oz s Nzw BILIDGI.—On Fri
day (yesterday) the first heavy train crossed the
new bridge at ErniOn Dep.:Wife. i rhe old bridge
at this ploceW2B swept away by the , freshet in
June init. This is the thist of 'the 'seviti bridges
that has been finished, and speaks well forth°
worthy contractor, Mr. Finly, from York cburi
ty, the bridge being built in thirty-seven work
ing days.
No Lox° PLAIN ' Miens.—We have hen
accustomed to boast of our democratic lustitu-
tions, manners and people. Titles we have
especially eschewed. Plain Mister has been the
distinguishing, badge, of American citizenship.
The richest and, proudest in the land have
passed through life to honored graves with no
other handle to their names. Two years ago
Mr. Lincoln was elected President of the United
States, Mr. Hamlin was elected Vice President,
and Mr. Seward became Chief Secretary, and
they were Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Hamlin and Mr.
Seward still. Of late, however, there have
been strong indications of Mister becoming ob
solete. A man maywalk the streets of Harris
burg for half a day without hearing the word
once used. Two friends` meet, and instead of
Mr. Junes saluting Mr. Smith, it is "How do
you do, Colonel Jones 7" "Pretty well, I thank
you ; how are you, Major Smith 7" These par
ties will then open a negotiation for flour or
pork. They are plain merchants. Titles have of
of late become so .common that hereafter it will
be quite as appropriate to ask a ptraiager his title
as his name. The old English practice of indict
ing criminals by their description, might very
properly be revived. Instead of an indictment
against John Smith for hog stealing, charging
"John Smith, late of Dauphin county," with
the larceny of one pig, it might read "John
Smith, Captain of company A, 250th 'regiment
of," &c., "did feloniously steal, take , and carry
away," &c. • '
'Me enrolled Militia has multiplied titles
amazingly. It has, almost sent , them a beg
ging. Gov. Curtin has conferred the honors
upon his subjects with a most liberal hand.
We will venture that, hereafter, Pennsylvania
will have a larger supply of titled individuals
than any other State in the Union, simply be
cause the old Keystone has proportionately
more men in the army than any of her sister
Commonwealths., The ; effect
_upon dress is
quite ati ceable hs' hi 'reference to tame;
Two men meet to close up a trade fur flour.
One has military pants and the other a mili
tary cap, while the balance of their garments
are plain civilian. A third cornea rip and` ac
costs them, wearing a- soldier vest. The ap
pearance of our men folks now-a-days suggests
the idea of their all sleeping in one room, and
getting their clothes badly mixed when they
got up. It is entirely safe to say to strangers
visiting our city, who may be surprised at the
grotesque figirres they may *tam 'npOn our
streets, that we are not quite as warlike a peo
ple as we seem.
NIGRO MDlBl2lLaY.—”Troubles rarely come
singly," is an adage often quoted, and seldom
is its truth so fully exemplified as in the case
of Sir. 8. 8. otuAturd, oolong and so Wall known:
in minstrel circles. In a very brief period, he"
has lost through the stern •hand of death, a
beloved wife, •tuid a respected father, and at
the battle of Antietain, his brother was un
fortunate enough to loose a leg in his country's
cause. This, together with pecuniary misfor
tunes, 'would seem enough to break any man
down, but, Job-like, he bears up with commend
dable patience and fortitude, and we sincerely
hope that the future'will make good to him,
the indebtedness of the past in comfort and
happiness, as well as material prosperity. In
reference to the late Mrs. Sanford, we have
been handed the following by Mr. Cool , White
for publication, than whom, no one not of ihe
family knew more of ,her private virtues and
business capacity. •
Ourrnany.—Died, on Monday, Nov. 17th,
arenas SANFORD, wife of Samuel S. Sanford,
the well known proprietor of "Sanford's Opera
Troupe." For many years past, Mrs. S. has
acted as manageress ot this• troupe, and her
promptness in all business matters won for her
the universal esteem of the public and the pro
fession generally. Possessed of a mild and
amiable disposition ' a. heart ever ready to re
spond to the appeal of the distressed and un
fortunate, her loss will be severely felt Iby the
poor, who were the continued recipients ot her'
bounty ; by the members• of the profession,
who will recall the many, acts of kindness to-;
wards them ; by the public, who will mourn.
the loss of a valuable member of society . ; and .
most of all, by her bereaved husband, who
now mourns the loss of a fond and affectionate
wife. None knew her but to love her. .
The curtain of life has rung down
. Life's drama with the now is o'er;
Mayest thou wear an immortal ()rosin
Where sorrows can reach thee no more.
Mr. Sanford opens his Opera House in thiS
city, on Monday evening nest,. with an excel;
lent company.

A MODIU, Envanusrinativ.—Among the many
improvements lately made in our city, to which
we can point with pride , as an evidence of pros
perity and as a determination on the part of
our businesa men, no longer to remain behind
the light house," is the, completion of Eby
& Kunkle's large brick building at the corner
of Market and Fifth streets, which is alike
creditable to the owners and ornamental to that
part of our city.
The building is not only one of the large*,
devoted to the grocery business, outside of New
York, but the stock challenges conapetion.—
Without going into detail, we may safely say
that the firm keep on hand everything usually
kept in a grocery store, (liquors excepted,) mid
that they sell, at very small profits. Their
clerks are civil and accommodating, and have
strict histnictions under nb circumiltanoes

IMPORTANT CERTIFICATE.
Messrs. P. IL Dnaira.—Gentlemen:—l have
suffered terribly with 'Dydpepsia for three or
four years, and tried many remedies without
effect. I bad to abandon my profession, and
suffered greatly from everything I ate. I have
now tried the Plantation Bitters-;-they helped
me—l continued their use, and am now nearly
a well mm. I know of several similar cases.
Respectfully yours, Rev. J. S CAMDEN."
Intelligent persons and physicians can judge
of the efficacy of the Plantation Bitteis from
the following partial formula.
CASCARILLA BARK
Was known and used in Germany for Dyspep
sia, Chronic Diarrhoea, Cholic, Dysentery, and
diseases of the Stomach and owels, as early as
1690.
novB d& 2m
For Inflammations of the Loins and Spleen in
Dropsical Affect" Ons and Biliary Secretions, or
Obstructions of the Abdominal Viscera.
CAIASAYA, OR KING'S BARK,
Was unknown to civilization nritil , the middle
of the 17th century. Humboldt makes favora
ble mention of the febrifuge qualities of this
article as an Antido.e to Fever and Ague, In
termittent and Malarious Fevers, in his exten
sive Sorith . .Ameiican travels. The Countess,
wife of the Viceroy of Peru, having experienced
the beneficial effects of this Bark, sent it to
Europe hi 1640. It was sold by the Jesuits for
the enornious sum of its cam weight in silver, and
was thus called Jssurrs' POWDER. In 1658, Sir
John Talbot employed it with great success in
I France, if the treatment of Fever and Ague,
Dyspepsia, Nervous Affections, Lore of Appetite,
Weakness and Debility, Palpitation of the
Heart, Diarrhtes, &c., under the name of Eng
lish Powders ; and iu 1679, he sold the secret
of its origin to Louis XIV, by whom it was di
vulged. It is now a standard remedy iu all
