TOWN AND COUNTRY
PAXTON FIRE COMPANY.-A stated meeting of
the Paxton fire company will be held at their
hall on this (Tuesday) evening, August 4th, at
eight o'clock. Punctual attendance is requested.
AUCTION SALE OF NEW AND SECOND HAND FUR
rirruND.—Messre. Eusmieger & Adams will have
another large sale of new and second band
furniture at their stand, between the Market
houses, to-morrow (Wednesday) morning.—
Persons in want of articles in their line will do
well to attend the sale. lt*
A RELIVED LAST nanr.—The 171st Penna.
regiment reached Camp Curtin yesterday eve
ning. Colonel Everard Bierer, of this city, is
still in command of the regiment. Since the
171st was attached to the Army of the Potomac,
they have seen considerable hard service. The
regiment is made up principally from Fayette,
Somerset and ?toga counties.
How TO AVOID THE DRAFT.-OHO of the many
draft dodges is thus practiced: A. sharper ad
vertises in the papers:—"Don't flee your coun
try ! Don't resist the draft ! Learn an honora
ble and certain way to avoid it! Inclose $1 to
the address of --," &c. The dollar is receiv
ed, and the answer contains only one word,
and that "Enlist," of course.
HYDROPHOBIA. —Now that the fiery dog star
reigns supreme, it is the duty of all having dogs
to see that they are securely muzzled, for no
one can tell how soon the fierce sun may breed
hydrophobia. We see unmuzzled canines every
hour •of the day running the streets, with
tongues protruding, and appearing exceedingly
"anamiable." Let them be looked after in
time.

TUBES HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR SUE•
arrtrry.s.—The collector of Lancaster county,
Pa., Alexander H. Hood, arrived in Philadel
phia Friday, with $300,000, that amount
having been paid to him by one thousand
drafted men of the county in lieu of their per
sonal service. If all the other counties in the
State follow the example of Lancaster, the
government will derive much money but very
few men from the draft.
Tan /74TH PENNA.—Sunday morning, about
three o'clock, the 174th regiment Pennsylvania
drafted militia, (Colonel John Nice,) reached
.Philadelphia. They have been serving in the
, Department of the South for the last nine
'months, and came north from Port Royal,
'S. C., in the steamer Belvidere. The regiment,
not being fUrnished with transportation, was
compelled to lay over in Philadelphia Sunday
and yesterday. The 174th is composed of
drafted men from the interior of the State, and
numbers about four hundred and fifty men.
They are (oriented to leave Philadelphia for
Camp Curtin to-day.
TEIN VOLUNTEER ENGINEER REGINENT.—The
camp of instruction for the regiment of volun
teer engineers, now being raised in this State, is
to be formed in a few days, and some of the
regimental officers made an examination, on
Saturday, of the grounds, a few miles west and
south of Market street bridge, Philadelphia,
with the view of selecting a site. Healthful
:ea and a stream sufficiently wido for exercise
in 4 :se construction of military bridges, were
stated to be the chief requisites, inasmuch as
the sixty.four artificers in each company are to
'be so instructed U.: at they may direet the work
ing parties of infantr, in engineering
s
operations. Artificers,
w,.. ` , en mustered in, re
ceive the pay of sergeants o: infantry, and in
the camp of instruction they wilt be prepared to
fill the position of non-commissioner ' °lacers'
DISORDERLY TEAMSTER.—About two o'i... l °° ll
yesterday afternoon, a teamster, in charge
wagon No. 806, drove up to the Medical Pur
veyor's office in the Sixth ward, for the purpose
of getting some medicines and hospital stores
for a regiment. While there he .behaved in a
very disorderly manner, treating his horses with
inhuman severity, and beating them in the
moat savage manner. He cursed the Govern
ment and everything connected with it; called
this a "d—d abolition war," wished "the Gov
ernment was in h-1," etc. He wound np his
career in front of the office by starting his horses
off on a jump, and spilling several boxes of
Medicines out cf his wagon. The Medical Pur
veyor not being present at the time, "806"
escaped arrest and subsequent confinement in
the guard house, which would have been just
the place for him after his disgraceful conduct.

ably reach here to morrow. Capt. Murray's
company was one of the first that responded
to the call of the Governor to serve during the
emergency, and wed it has performed its duty.
A. hearty reception awaits the members by their
many friends.
DISTURBANCE IN BRANT'S HALL.--Yesterday
evening, the performance In Brant's Hall was
unexpectedly interrupted by a dispute origiaat
ing between several soldiers and a number of
citizens in the parquette. One citizen became
desperate and struck one of the soldiers on the
head four or five times with a "billy." The sol
diers took their companion's part, and the citi
zen also received a few taps on the head. Here
the provost guard and police interfered, the
parties were arrested, and locked up until this
morning, when they were discharged.

pleasure of announcing that Gibbon's Loretto

_A. Mona. SOMEL—The Philadelphia Inquirer
pnbl. t .shes a noble letter written by Sergeant
Albert a . . Bunn, of the 71st regiment Pennsyl
vania. Volimteers, killed at the battle of Gettys
burg. He enlisted in the California Regiment
at the commencement of the war,- and was
wounded in the leg during the figh tatßall' 8 Bluff.
He rejoined his regiment as soon as he recovered;
and was again wounded at the battle of White
Oak Swamp, being shot in the head. He passed
safely through all the other battles, until that
at Gettysburg, when he fell mortally wounded,
having previously received two wounds, one in
the leg and the other in the arm. He would
not leave his post, however, but continued to
serve at one of the batteries until .a third shot
struck him in the head, killing him instantly.
He had written a letter the morning before the
fight to his mother, and endorsed it with a re
quest that, in case he should get killed, the
finder would send it to his mother. The letter
was found by one of the First New York Bat
tery. It is as follows:
Jury 2, 1863.—Dear Father and ifother:--Since

"Xeniades was a citizen of Corinth, who pur
chased Diogenes, when sold as a slave. He asked
the tub philosopher what he could do. Cbmmand
freemen, was the prompt and laconic reply, which
so pleased his purchaser, that he immediately
set him at libeity. Independence, as is usual
with true lovers of freedom, was a strong trait
in the character of Dicgenes. Alexander the
Great once visited him in his tub, and asked
what favor he could bestow upon him. Get out
of my sunshine, was his quick and sarcastic an
awer. The conqueror of the world turned to his
courtiers and said, " were I not Alexander 'should
wish to bt Diogenes." How few we have at the
present day, who would not dwindle into pig
miee, and weigh like a feather against a pound
of lead, if put in the scale of patriotism by the
side of a Diogenes. • In his day, the friends of
freedom loved and fought for it, for its own in
trinAo weigh, not for the sake of the loaves and
&hes, as in modern times. As a part of the
Government, we also have a business duty to
perform, in calling the public attention to the
large stock of new and seasonable dry goods re
ceived by C. L. BOWMAN, southeast corner of
Front and Market streets, on Friday and Satur

Unrivalled in the world for Ease, Efficacy
and Durability—Superior to the old Steel Truss
for the following reasons :
1. It cannot get out of place when properly
adjusted.
2. Its similarity to the Knee-Cap—becoming
rigid and firm by straining or lifting.
3. The pressure Can be regulated in oue min
ute's time by the wearer.
4. You can rest and sleep, and -forget it is
on you..
6. It will halt a life time, and lose none of
its efficacy.
6. It does not impede locomotion; neither
will it interfere with nature or will.
7. It meets the difficulty by an upward pres
sure.
8.. It does not oppress the Spine—but braces
and strengthens it.
9. It preEses the proper place at the proper
time.
10. It has in all cases superseded the steel,
and succeeds where the steel has failed.
11. There is no draft upon the system, by
extracting electricity from it, which the metal
truss decidedly does.

Again, I saw Prof. Rainbow the first day he
came to Chambersburg ; be handed me one of
his circulars ; I was forcibly impressed with the
representations as being the article right for
rupture. I bought one and have worn it since
and find myself more comfortable and much
better pleased with it than with any truss I ever
before used, and believe Prof: Rainbow's state
ments in its favor to be honest and true,
REV. F. DYSON.

Reference to ieveral citizens of Harrisburg of

its superior value for Hernia or Rupture, or Pro

ATTENTION, SOLDIERS !
AND TUB FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS
We call the attention of all having relations
or friends in the army to the fact that "HOOF
LAND'S- German Bitters" will cure nine-tenths
of the diseases induced by exposurt s and
privations incident to camp life. In the lists,
published almost daily in the newspapers, on
the arrival of the sick,
,it will be noticed that
a very large propertion are suffering from debil
ty. Every case of that kind can be readily
cured by Hoofland's German Bitters. Diseases
resulting from disorders of the digestive organs
are speedily removed. We have no hesitation
in stating that if these Bitters were freely used
among our soldiers, hundreds of lives might
be saved that otherwise will be lost.
We call particular attention to the following
remarkable and well authenticated cure of one
of the nation's heroes, whose life, to use his
own language, "has been saved by the Bitters:"
Pntra.nar,Pnrs, August 28d, 1862.
Messrs. Jones & Evans :—Well, gentlemen,
your Hoofland's German Bitters has saved my
life. There is no mistake in this. It is vouch
ed for by numbers of my comrades, some of
whose names are appended, and who were fully
cognizant of all the circumstances of my case.
I am, and have been for the last four years, a
member of Sherman's celebrated battery, and
under the immediate command of Captain R.
B. Ayers. Through the exposure attendant
upon my arduous duties, I was attacked in No
vember last with inflammation of the lunge,
and was for seventy-two days in the hospital.
This was followed by great debili , y, heighten. d
by an attack of dysentery. I was then remov
ed from the White House and sent to this city
on board the steamer Stare of Maine, from
which I landed on the 28th of June. Since
that time I have been about as low as any one
could be and still retain a spark of vitality.
For a week or more I was scarcely able to swal
low anything, and if I did force a morsel down,
it was immediately thrown up again.
I could not even keep a glass of water on my
stomach. Life could not last under these cir
cumstances ; and, accordingly, the physicians
who had been working faithfully, though un
successfully, to rescue me from the grasp of the
dread archer, frankly told me they could do no
more for me and advised me to see a clergyman
and to make such disposition of my limited
funds as best suited me. An acquaintance who
visited me at the hospital, Mr. Frederick Stein
bron, of Sixth below Arch street, advised nr,
as a forlorn hope, to try your bitters, and kind
ly procured a bottle. From the time I com
menced taking them the gloomy shadow of
death receded, and I am now, thank God for it,
getting better. Though I have taken but two
bottles, I have gained ten pounds, and I feel
sanguine of being permitted to rejoin my wife
and daughter, from whom I have heard nothing
for eighteen months; for, gentlemen, I am a
loyal Virginian, from the vicinity of Front
Royal. To your invaluable, I owe the
certainty of life which has taken the place of
vague fears—to your Bitters will I owe the
glorious privilege of again clasping to my
nosom those who are dearest to me in life.
Very truly yours, ISAAC MALONE.
We ;oily concur in the truth of the above
statement, as we had despaired of seeing cur
rus t
comrade, Mr. Maki restored to health.
