HARRISBURG
Thursday Afternoon, January 3, 1661.
SCARLETEVEIL—This fatal disease is still pre
vailing, though in a milder form, in the village
of Dauphin and vicinity ; and in a number of
instances it has proved fatal.
sow cru &nom ExmarrioN.—The Sabbath
School of the colored Presbyterian church will
hare a public meeting for recitations, addresses
and other exercises, at the hall of the congre
gation, this (Thursday) evening, at 7 o'clock.
Admission free.
A liciourim Trtan.—Mr. David Rineard, re
siding near Fairview, opposite this city, owns a
lemon tree, which reaches to the ceiling of his
parlor, and is now covered with the most beau
tiful fruit. Some of the lemons have remained
on the parent stem for two years, and are the
Ingest we have ever seen.
=l=l
RINGGOLD ARTILLERY.—We aro reliably in
formed that this handsome military company,
at Miffiintovm, commanded by Capt. Mickey,
espect to parade forty men on the occasion of
Governor Curtin's inauguration. Quarters have
already been secured in this city for several
companies, so that a large and handsome mall
tary display may be anticipated.
LIFE or GENERAL JACKSON.—We direct atten.
tion to the advertisement in another column, of
Parting's Life of Jackson. The book is well
printed and from a hasty glance this morning,
we consider it very interesting particularly at
the present time when we are in great want of
a second Jackson at the head of our National
affairs.
A BOY ATrACIEBD BY A Cow.—A little boy in
the employ of Mr. Simon Sherviek, was a short
time ago attacked by an enraged cow, and
would doubtless have been killed, had not his
employer heard his cries and immediately came
to his assistence. He was so severely injured
in the face and other parts of his body, that lit
tle hope of his recovery was for awhile enter
tained. At the last accounts, however, he was
rapidly recovering from his injuries.

PRATER ion ins Umos.—Rev. Dr. Yeomans,
of Danville, Moderator of the last General As
sembly of the Presbyterian Church, (0. 5.,) has
issued an address to the churches represented in
that body, recommending the observance of to
morrow as a day of prayer, in view of the
threatening aspect of public affairs. He had
previously appointed another day for this pur
pose, but after the' proclamation of the Presi
dent appeared, he concluded to recommend the
same. The address was read last Sabbath from
the pulpit of the Old School Presbyterian Church
of this city, and in compliance therewith, a
prayer meeting will be held in the lecture room
of the church to-morrow morning at ten o'clock,
to which all who love the Union and desire its,
perpetuity are invited. "God is our refuge and
strength, a very present help in trouble.
OCTOONNARIANS.—Mn. EDITOR :—Two years '
ago the undersigned made out a list of octo
genarians at that time a resident in Harrisburg,
without any intention of publishing it : but, I
now think the publication of it may interest
your readers, and therefore request the insertion
of it in your paper : Peter Snyder, died Feb.
26, 1859, aged eighty-two years. John Rhoads,
died April 12, aged eighty-four. John Kelker,
died April 29, aged eighty-three. Georgd Eich
oltz, died June 17, aged eighty-five. Peter
Keller, died October 1, aged eighty-three. Dr.
Bergbaus, died November 19, aged eighty-four
years and six months. Mrs. Wolf, died August
23, aged eighty-two. Daniel Hare, died Sep
tember 28, aged eighty-seven. Jacob Zeigler,
John Forster, Henry Stewart, Daniel Yellet,
Benjamin Taylor, Peter Pancake, Jeremiah
Reese, Mrs. Crabb, widow of William, Mrs.
Kunkle and John Ford. J. H.
Ax lime Fon kunswerous.—The purchase of
votes at our elections is a growing evil. All
Parties denounce it, yet all practice it. It has
become so much a matter of course, that the
rule is to deem 'a man certainly defeated who
does not submit to excessive assessments to cor
rupt the franchise. They are exceptions who
do not expend more to secure an office than it
is worth per annum. And yet the crime of '
selling tAir suffrage is by no means as general
among the people as might be inferred from the
amount of money extorted from men ha nomina
tion. More than fifty per cent of all money thus
raised is stolen by those to whom its expenditure
is entrusted. It is not merely the penniless vaga
bond who sells his vote. Men occupying res
pectable positions in society—independent far
mers, and well-to-do artisans and business men
- -often place themselves upon the low level of
the wretches whose garments are reeking with
the fumes of the grog-shop or jail, and chaffer
for their "egg" quite as pertinaciously. This
Practice is incalculably demoralising. Its inju
rious influence is not limited to elections. It is
seen and felt elsewhere, in the dishonorable and
mercenary habits which it engenders. To re
ceive bribes strips men of their manhood, and
fosters a spirit at war with every noble virtue.
It is debasing every way, and should be frown
ed upon by decent men of all parties. But will
it he ? Not so long as the law permits or winks
at it. It is not an evil which can be eradicated
by public sentiment alone. While all parties
would be glad to be relieved from the seeming
necessity of the evil, no single party dares in
itiate the reform, Each being eager fair success,
each will employ the most available means to
achieve what they covet. The law must inter
pose. It is practicable for it to do. so. Public
sentiment would justify a stringent enactment.
Severe penalties should be impored, and a test
oath might be drafted which would make sum
mary work of the whole system. There have
been frequent spasmodic efforts made to initiate
a remedy, but nothing apprmiimating efficiency
has been yet propose& If seame competent le
gislator would make this subject a speciality, and
secure the enactment of a law which would
even mitigate the evil, be would be recognised

THE POST OFTICH will be closed to-morrow
(Friday) with the exception from 8 to 9 A. M.,
and 3 to 4 P. M.
A SPECIAL MEETING of the Citizen Fire Com
pany will be held at their hall this (Thursday)
evening, at 7 o'clock. Punctual attendance is
requested
BUSINESS BUSPIENDED.—Business will be gener
ally suspended to-morrow. The Cotton Mill
will not be in operation and the stores generally
will be closed from 10 o'clock in the morning
till five in the evening.
Clams or TEMEOFEtA.NCE.—A meeting Was held
last evening at the Sons of Temperance Hall, by
the young men of our city favorable to the for
mation of a Section of Cadets of Temperance
It is now an established fact, that a new Section
will be instituted here in the course of a week.
An
kother, meeting will be held this evening at
;he same place, to which young men in general
are invited to attend.
I==
SEASONABLE lEfxsis.—A thin shawl may be
made warm by folding a newspaper inside of it.
The paper is impervious to the wind and cold.
air from outside, and prevents the rapid escape
of the warm air beneath it. Every one knows
that the heat of the body is carried off more
rapidly in a high wind than in a calm. The
wind blows away the heat evolved from the
body ; but in perfectly still air this heat re
mains, and constitutes an atmospheric envelope
so nearly of the temperature with the body it-.
self that the latter is not so quickly robbed of
its natural heat. When you set out on a win
ter journey, if you are liable to suffer from cold
toes, which many people do, in spite of "rub
bers," fold a piece of newspaper over your
stockings, which you can readily do if your boots
or shoes are not irrationally tight. This is bet
ter than "rubbers," which are, in fact, very
cold comforters in extreme, while they make
the feet sweat in moderate weather. In winter,
a traveler occasionally finds in a hotel a defi
ciency of bed covering ; or in the sensitiveness
of disease, he may require more than in health.
The newspaper for which he paid two cents on
the cars, spread under the upper cover, will be
equal to an additional blanket.
DAY OF INKELIATION.—To-morrow will be
kept as a day of humiliation and prayer on ac
count of the perilous condition of the country.
Those who have brought this calamity upon us
ought to humble themselves into the dust
to make amends for their wicked actions.—
During one of the memorable pilgrimages of
Mahomet through a dreary desert, one evening
after a weary march his followers prepared to
camp for the night. While doing so, Mahomet
heard one of them exclaim in tones of weari
ness, "I will not go to the trouble of tieing my
camel, but commit its care to God." The Prophet
immediately exclaimed—" Friend, tie thy camel
and then commit it to God." If President
Buchanan had first "lied his camel"—in other
words, done his whole duty towards preventing
"the present distracted and dangerous condition
of our country"—then he might with 'some
grace call upon the Lord for help in such an
emergency as this. As the case now stands, it
looks very much like mockery for Ifni to ap
point a day of "fasting and prayer," when he
is more to blame for the troubles now existing
than any other man in the country. As we re
marked on a former occasion, the sincereprayers
of righteous men availeth much; and in view of
the present condition of affairs, we deem it
proper to comply with the recommendations of
the Presidential proclamation, notwithstanding
our contempt for the imbecile and hypocritical
0. P. F., who issued it. To-morrow, then, let the
prayers of all good men ascend to the God of
Nations for the preservation of the Union, and
the overthrow of the traitors who axe plotting
its destruction.

MIIXI'AILT SPIRIT INORRASING.-A large com
mittee of Military men from Cumberland comi
ty waited upon Governor Packer to-day in or
der to induce him to make provision by which
arms could be obtained, or to urge upon the
Legislature to make an especial appropriation
for that purpose. We are however informed
that the Governor is opposed to the movement
and our Military men will have to bear for a
few weeks until Col. Ctrans is inaugurated.—
He will see that they are supplied.

Comfort Smoin rules the mass of the people
whatever the misnamed and misanthrope philosophers
may say to the contrary. Show them a good thing ; let
its merits be clearly demonstrated, and they will not
hesitate to give it their most cordial patronage. the
masses have already ratified tbe Judgment of a physician
concerning the virtues of HOSTE 'TER'S BITTERS, as
may be seen by the immense quantities of this medicine
which are actually sold in every section of the land. It
is now recognized as greatly superior to all other reme
dies yet devised for diseases of the digestive organs, such
as diarrheas, dysentery, dyspepsia, and for the various
fevers that arise from derangement of those portions of
the system. Hostetter's name is rapidly becoming a
