"William Dock, Jr., long one of our most prominent and enterprising young business men, and his funeral, this afternoon, was attended by a large concourse of those who knew and loved and respected him while he lived. His was indeed a painful and lin gering sickness—vibrating as it were between the hopes and the horrors of that relentless destroyer of the human race, consumption. He will be mourned by many, and missed from mercantile circles as one of those who gave energy and security to business. Tau Brion or Lres—.Rich, Rare, Racy— Laiighable.—Sanford is a trump. He has a peculiar neck of pleasing the people. He is always bringing out something that'is mirth provoking, and makes laughter irresistible. "Variety is the spice of life," and Sanfo r d knows it. Variety is his motto—his bills prove this. Samuel also has a hankering after printers ink—he uses it liberally—and appro priates a large portion of our space to his use. The consequence is, his beautiful Opera House cannot accommodate all who desire to enter it. A magnificent bill is on hand for this evening. In addit:on to the nu merous other attractions. Uncle Tom's Cabin will be played. To-morrow night Our Amer ican Cousin will be introduced. If "practice makes perfect," this play will be rendered in a magnificent style. It is one one of San ford's productions, and cannot fail to create an iIVIMATC4I JUITSIABII7I. A RICH INCMEN'r IN A. CHRISTIAN CIRCLE— How the Truths of the Bible Affected a Lady in Brocade.—At the last meeting of the Dauphin County Bible Society, held only a few even ings since, Rev. J. Walker Jackson delivered the occasional sermon. All who know this pul pit orator, will readily understand how he would enter on the delivery of such a dis course; but we are told that he exceeded him self at this meeting, and that his terse, crisp and brilliant sentences fairly electrified his audience. His theme was the Bible. He spoke of the regenerating influence of the book upon individuals, beautifully comparing it to an audience chamber, in which the indi vidual and insignificant, man, was permitted, as it were, to look face to face on God. Rev. Jackson then went on to treat of the effect and the influence of the Bible upon nations. - How it prepared people for improved government on earth, and ultimately thus fitted genera tions for the pure and incomparable govern ment of Heaven. From this point the rev erend orator proceeded to discourse of the condition of our own nation. All the great changes worked in the progress of the Ameri can people, sprung directly from Bible influ ences. The war of the Revolution was the direct result of Bible inspiration. From `teaching God's fatherhood, it equalized all men—made us brethren, made us, in God, of one family! The religion of Jesus, eloquently exclaimed Rev. Jackson, is the purest form of Repulicanism ever devised. Four million of men were now stretching out their hands to 'the people of the free States for this same religion, this higher order of Republicanism ! They appeal to us, as sons of a common Father, as brothers in a common hope of sal vation, fqr the freedom of the Bible! Shall they have it? At this thrilling point of the sermon, when the intelligent and Christian portion of the audience were bending with rapture to' the guidance of the eloquent and sublime truths thus boldly spoken, a lady in brocade suddenly started from her seat, with the exclamation, loud enough to be heard by those immediately around her, "I did not come to church to hear politics." " Then, swell ing with indignation until the flowers which adorned the lofty peak of her fashionable "love of a bonnet" partook of the odor of her rage, she left the congregation and Rev. Jack son to the enjoyment of their noble proceed ings. —Reader, make your own comments Tan Timm or MISERY FLOWING FROM RE.BEL LION ROLLYNG NORTHWARD—AM/VW/ of Ref ttgees in Haivrisburg Homeless Women and Children.—Yesterday morning, seven women, with fourteen children, varying in age from the suckling babe to the boy of fifteen and the girl of eighteen years old, arrived in this city, wanderers and fugitives from the land of treason, oppression and starvation. These fugitives are the families of men who have been conscripted in the rebel army, but who fled from the conscription officers for the purpose of making their escape to the North. It appears that the husbands of three of the women were marked Union men, who had been conscripted, but who carefully eluded the rebel officers, and managed to make their escape North, with the understanding that their families should meet them at this point: The fugitives accordingly left their homes in Rockingham county, Va., and proceeded with a two and a one horse wagon, as far as Sperry vile, when the wagons broke down. The distance from Rockingham to Sperry yille is about fifty miles, along the bleakest and rough est portions of the Blue Ridge, a region of country which the ravages of the rebels have left perfectly desolate. Un ble to proceed from Sperryville, on ac count of the wrecked wagons, the women here made a contract with a farmer to carry the children as far as the Union lines, about ten miles from Culpepper Court House, for which service they gave the three horses and the wagons. The old man who had agreed to carry the children as far as Culpepper Court House, seeing the utter helplessness of the party when they reached that point, agreed, in pity, to carry them as far as Brandy Station. It must be remembered that this journey was tedious, sad and weary. Two weeks were oc cupied in reaching Brandi , Station. While the party had sufficient food, the children suffered severely from the cold, the tender babes particularly, with the mothers, suffer ing intensely. At Brandy Station the party took passage on the regular military train for Washington city, and thence to Baltimore, reaching Harrisburg, as we have stated, yes terday morning. THE NAMES OF THE FAMILIES Mrs. Susan E. Gully, with nine children, the youngest three and the oldest eighteen years old. It is supposed that the father and a son have enlisted in the Tenth Pennsylva nia Cavalry. Mrs. Sidney Morris, with three 'children, the youngest a babe, and the oldest four years old. Mrs. Morris, an aged lady, with a married daughter, Mrs. Cornelia Williams—also two other daughters",' young ladies, and three grand children. Mrs. Morris had agreed to meet her husband and four sons, (all of whom had been drafted, but escaped the rebel conscript officer) at this city. It is of course easier to imagine than de- cribe the appearance of these people. After a journey such as they have made—over moun tains—through an enemy's country, although in the land of their birth—in the weary watches of the night—in danger hourly of being overtaken by rebel cavalry. with children to soothe and cheer, these poor people at length found themselves in a Federal camp, where they were welcomed and, succored by soldiers whom they had once been taught to look upon as little less than fiends and assassins. —We know that it is only, necessary for us to inform the ladies of Harrisburg that these women and children need their kindly Eaten tion.t Already much has been done for the fugitives, but much more can be extended to them in the way of comfort, and they them selves be left with sad thoughts of the homes from which they have teen driven by the re lentless hand of treason. Audwhile our good neiahlxes are contributing to the relief of these sufferers, we trust that those in our midst, who have been defending "the honor and the independence" of the wretches who brought about the work which has entailed misery on the whole South, will go to the Court House, and there contemplate a scene of suf fering which their sympathy for treason par tially produced.

A MAN DUP. —The owner of the property immediately adjoining Ward's music store, Third street, has suffered a regular man trap to form on the sidewalk, which subjects pe destrians who pass along that thoroughfare to the danger of broken limbs and heads. A few bricks and a little labor, before the late fall, of snow, would have remedied the defect in the sidewalk. Now, howev,er, the nuisance must* continue until the weather permits improve ment. So much for the neglect of a careless landlord. NOTIVITEESTA , MING the inclement state of the weather last evening, there was a large and appreciative audience at Brant's Hall, to wit ness the repetition of Still Waters Bun'Deep. This fine play is exceedingly popular, and forms a very attractive bill. Fine acting is the order of the day at Brant's, and it has its reward in the form of crowded houses. To- night, by very particular request, the manage ment have consented to reproduce the dram atization of Mrs. Emma D. E. N. Southworth's great Ledger story, The Ridden Hand, with all the beautiful scenes and other attractive fea tures connected with it. This drama has at tained an immense popularity throughout the country, and its representation has been wit nessed by hundreds of thousands of individ uals. Here, at the capital of the 'Keystone State, it has won•a foie reputation, and the mere announcement of its repetition will insure a crowded house. Go early, SOMETHING Nnw !—A new brand of prime cigars have been introduced here. They hive been manufactured expressly and exclusively . for C. A.
