Paiip gtitgrapij. ABEISBITRG, PA. Thursday Afternoon, August 8, 1861. J. 11. DI --Please call at this office and iteCiVi several letters in answer to your advertise ment Pesu Tuitounn.—Another regiment from Indiana passed through this city last evening en route for the seat of war. T e men h are fully uniformed and equipped, and of the right mate rial to make good soldiers. GRANGE OF Scuann.s. —Some eh ,nges have been made in the time-tab]; of the Northern Central Railroad company. Hereafter the Mail train going north will leave Harrisburg at 1.20, and the express train at 9.33 P. M. FUNERAL OF A FIREMAN. —The funeral of Mr. J. S. Boyer, whose decease is announced in our obituary department, will take place on Satur day afternoon at two o'clock. Tne obsequies will be participated in by the Washington Hose Company, of which the deceased was an active member previous to his illness. PaomorEn.—We learn that three young gen tlemen of this city, members of the Lochiel Greys, have been appointed second Lieutenants in the regular army Eine() their return from the war. The individuals thus promoted are FAlwin Pollock, J. R. Rouble and Charles C. Rawn, Jr. One is the son of a prominent Dem ocrat, and the others of Republicans. A DEARTER.—An Irishman, answering to the name of Barney King, belonging to one of the Wisconsin regiments which passed through this city some days ago, deserted and remained here. Last night he was found on the street in a drunken condition, and taken to the lock up. This morning the Mayor committed him to prison for twenty days. ANOTItER ZOUAVE REGIMENT.—CoIoneI D. B. Birney, cf Philadelphia, is about to organize a regiment for the war, by order of the Secretary of War. The regiment will be a Zouave one, handsomely equipped, armed with rifles and sword bayonets, and in all respects a crack corps. The Colonel has commenced mustering in companies, and will in a few days form a camp on the Wissahickon, near Philadelphia. I===l Goss To Clem.—The young soldier, Standish, who has been lying in the lock-up since Mon day, in a helpless condition from effects of paralysis, was taken to camp this morning by one of the officers of his company. From the statement of the officer it seems that Standish is subject to such attacks when he indulges too freely in bad whisky, as was the case in this in stance. PAYING On.—The payment of the regiments at Carlisle commenced yesterday morning and is progressing as rapidly as possible. Five com panies of the fourteenth regiment arrived here last evening. A gentleman direct from Carlisle informs us that the Verbeko Rifles do not expect to reach home before to-morrow evening or Saturday, as the payment of the fifteenth regi ment will not bo commenced until to-morrow morning. Pas PRISONER OE WAIL—The young man Brisben, confined in our jail as an "escaped prisoner of war," is a printer by profession, and formerly worked at case in the city of Pitts burg, which place, the Dispatch says, he recently left to visit his wife's relatives in Huntingdon county. If the charge against Brisben be true, why is he not forwarded to Washington, instead of being confined in our county prison, which is crowded to such an extent that no more pris oners can be comfortably accommodated ? ANOMIE PICNIC EXCURSION TO COLD SPRING.- A large number of young people of our city and the adjoining rural districts, contemplate a picnic excursion to this delightful mountain re treat on Saturday next, Good music will be provided for the benefit of those who love to "trip the light fantastic," and all our lads and rosy lasses who wish to enjoy a cheap and pleasant trip through a romantic region of country, revel for a day amidst the beauties of nature, realize the benefit of pure air and water, and have a good time generally, should partici pate in the excursion. The fare having been reduced to a low figure, we expect to see an im mense turn out. The train will leave the depot at 7.30 in the morning and return about seven the same evening. THR HEALTH of the volunteers called into ser vice by the United States Government, has thus far been singularly good. Many regiments that have come home after three months service, lost none by sickness, and few of them have had as many deaths as usually occur among a thousand men at home, during a period of three months. The above fact stated by the Philadelphia Bulletin, contradicts the general notion that terposure causes most of our diseases, and espe cially that "night air" is morbidc. These young fellows have tried night air as well as exposure in all sorts of weather, and with the result quoted. We fear some of them are do ing themselves more harm by indulgence in eating and drinking, than was caused by all forms of exposure. °SUN KILLED ON THE KAILEOA.D.—The pas senger train from the west, due here at five o'clock last evening, ran over a woman a short distance above tlilleratown, and killed her in stantly. The engine was rounding a curve when the woman was first discovered walking on the track a short distance ahead, and the engineer finding itimpossible to check the speed of the train, sounded the usual signal, to which the woman paid no attention. The result was that the engine struck her down. The engineer stopped the train as soon as possible and backed up to the scene of the accident, when the wo. man was found dead, with one leg broken, and her person very much bruised. The body of the unfortunate female was placed 'Upon the cars and brought to Newport, where it was re coliated as that of a partially insane woman well know, in that region of country. Her re mains Were left there for burial. We are in debted to a passenger on the train for the par ticulars of this shocking accident, who states that ne blame attaches to the engineer. • WASHINGTON LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. - The members are requested to meet at their hall this (Thursday) evening, at eight o'clock, to make arrangements to attend the funeral of their late fellow member, J. S. Boyer. ARRESTED ON SLSPICION. - A notorious colored individual was before the Mayor this morning, on suspicion of knocking down a soldier with intent to rob him. He was remanded to the lock-up for a further hearing. Moiu SOLDIERS ROBBED.—Some of the soldiers who came here from Carlisle yesterday after re ceiving their pay, were robbed last night while lying around loose in a drunken condition. We met one man this morning who had lost his entire "pile," and was in great distress. A SPECIAL Magma of the Washington Hose Company will be held at the hose house this (Thursday) evening at 8 o'clock, to make the necessary arrangements to attend the funeral of our late member, J. B. Boyer. The members are requested to be punctual in attendance. ==l Filter Crry Zotuves.—Mr. Charles A. Bann vart has been elected Captain of this company, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Captain Kelm. We are informed that Cap tain I3annvart is thoroughly versed in military tactics. Another meeting of the company will be held soon to elect two Lieutenants, the old officers having resigned. A Goon IDEA.—We notice that in many places the patriotic citizens are making out full and complete lists of the traitors whose foul presence pollutes their communities. Such a list would be eminently serviceable for future use, and its completion would be attended with little diffi culty, for with all their sneaking cowardice none of them can successfully cover up their tracks or conceal their secession sympathies. Unmask the hypocrites and spot the traitors ! SEND YOUR Cum To BID HAPPY. —Send your child to bed happy. Whatever cares press, give it a warm good-night kiss, as it goes to its pil low. The memory of this, in the stormy years which fate may have in store for the little one, will be like Bethlehem's star to the bewildered shepherds. "My father—my mother loved me !" Fate cannot take away that blessed heart balm. Lips parched with the world's fever, will become dewy again at this thrill of youthful memories. Kiss your little child be fore it goes to sleep. BURIED WITH MILITARY HONOR9.—The funeral of George A. Reiff, one of the victims of the late riot in this city, who was shot by George Starry, took place at Norristown last' Thursday, and was largely attended. His remains were intered with military honors by six companies of the fourth regiment, to which the deceased had be longed. In addition to the military, there was a long procession of citizens on horseback and in carriages, and an immense concourse of peo ple onfoot. An appropriate discourse was preach ed on the occasion by a clergyman of Norristown. Voting .Reiff seems to have been highly esteemed by the people of that place. Hrevr Dastaoss ro TUE CANAL—The Pitta burg Dispatch states that the heavy storms of last week have seriously damaged the entire western division of the canal, making no less than four heavy breaches between that city and Freeport. The acqueduct over Bull creek was swept away, and another breach made near Ta renttun. It has been estimated that not less than tifty thousand dollars would be necessary to re pair the damages by flood, and Ratite line, since the abandonment of the city aqueduct, has been a losing concern, it is extremely doubtful whe ther it will ever be repaired. There was a pro vision in the sale of the line to the Pennsylva nia Railroad that it should be kept open, but as corporations seldom fulfil losing contracts, the railroad company is not likely to prove any ex ception. Farmers along the line may as well make up their minds to get along without the "ditch," as it will certainly be abandoned. MORN RurrIANISX.—The other evening a young man of this city, while passing down 'third street in company with his mother, was grossly insulted by five ruffians sporting uni forms. He resented the insult, as any man worthy of the name would, when the disguised ruffians became still more insolent and abusive, one of them flourishing a knife and another a revolver, with which they threatened to do him personal injury. The mother of the young man became alarmed and fled, beseeching him to follow her. He stood his ground, however, and but for the timely intervention of some persons who witnessed the brutal conduct of the soldiers and went to his rescue, he would probably have been stabbed or shot. Acts of this kind have occurred too frequently of late; and if officers do not put their men under better discipline, and teach them to behave differently when off duty, some of them will receive such personal casti gation from citizens as their brutality deserves. I=l AnonsT.—August is a hot month —and it is right that it should be a' hot month. It does all the ripening. Vegetables that come in July are of small account—puckered as they are in hothouses, and thin of flavor. And so with fruits. Nothing is worth much that ripens be fore August—not Juneatings nor cherries. The last month of summer is the crowning month— the best of all. It flings its warm and yellow atmosphere on the earth, and the fructifying juices ebb and flow in the veins of the pasture and swell into the rich products of field and garden and orchard. Hot as it is, we like the month of August, with its red and misty morn ings and its golden evenings. We can utter a blessing on its genial influences, even when the sun stands at noon in "a copper sky," and the lengthening shadow fail; to bring the cool of the day. For in August, when there are beads of perspiration on the forehead, we feel that the weather is excellent for corn, and good for other vegetables and we are content with our ' sweaty brows and palms, when we see that out of this heat and moisture comes the abundance of the autumnal harvest. If any one is dis posed to complain and begenerally nncomforta ble because the mercury rises rather high in this thrifty and golden month, let him consider the moral of this paragraph, and endeavor al ways to bear in mind that it is true in more RUM than one—that manb yt h e - t lives , Ivrea of his brow. tuttoglvania iDail telegraph, thank!! 2lfternoon„auguet 8, 18131 AN INSANE SOLDIEIL.-A man named Jacob Myers, belorging to one of the mgimentt in Camp Curtin, was recently discharged, upon a surgeon's certificate, fur insanity.

Biddle, left Camp Curtin this afternoon en route for the seat of war on the Upper Potomac. At Harper's Ferry the men will be furnished with new rifles of a superior quality. Sosnar Scam. PICNIC. —The teachers and scholars of the Vine street Methodist Sunday School are holding their annual picnic to•day in Wells' woods on the west side of the river. The participants crossed the stream in flat boats this morning. There is a large attendance and general enjoyment rules the occasion. Tamara of RssFscr.—At a meeting of the Mount Vernon Hook and Ladder Company, held at the Truck House last evening, the fol lowing preamble and resolutions were Unani mously adopted : WHIIRSAS, It has pleased the Almighty God to remove by death our late fellow member, Elms Lima Ecx : And whereas, It is right and proper that we should give expression to our feelings ; therefore, Resolved, That in the death of Etrai Lavers Eon this company has lost an esteemed member whose place among ns cannot be filled. Resolved, That we deeply sympathise with the parents of our deceased brother. Resolved, That as a tribute to the memory of our deceased member, the house and apparatus of the company be draped in mourning for the space of thirty days Resolved, That the thanks of the company be tendered to Limit. Geo. W. Davis and lady for the kind attentions beat() tved on our deceased brother during his sickness. Rankled, That the above be published in the daily papers of this city, and a copy of thesame be forwarded to the parents of the deceased. Obis or ma " OLD= lanserreirra."—One of our Chester county exchanges contains a notice of a centenarian, named John Dare, residing at Phcenixville, who was one hundred and one years old on the 4th of July last. He is now living with his daughter, and possesses remark ably good health. His memory is very good, considering his age. He bas his second eye sight and can read without spectacles, bat his hearing is failing him. He is excellent cam wry, is communicative, and can relate inci dents that took place years ago. He thinks he was born on sea, and lived the greater part of his time in Attleborough, Bucks county. He remembers Washington and the Continental army—he was young at the time, and not in the army, but was by when Washington took the Hessians at Trenton. He was Out in the whisky expedition, under Washington, and has many htimorous anecdotes to relate of that campaign. He served three months in the war of 1812, was honorably discharged, and has not received his section of land, for which he never applied. He is in indigent circumstances, and should be taken care of. He takes a lively in terest in our present national affairs, and says if he was a young man he would soon show them how to settle our difficulties with the reb els. He is an extraordinary man, and fewintoh are to be met with. VIRGINIA RUTGERS. —This morning four Vir ginia refugees—a man and his wife and two children—arrived here direct from Fairfax Court House, having been driven from their homes in a destitute condition by the barbari ties of the southern rebels. They confirm all that has heretofore been published relative to the infamous outrages perpetrated upon Union men by the southern ''chivalry," and state that the worst bas not been told. The old gentleman is a native of New York State, but for some time past has resided near Fairfax Court House, where he owned a hum of about one hundred acres, which he was obliged to abandon and fly to the north to avoid impress ment into the rebel army. Union men in his neighborhood who refused to beggar themselves to feed the rebels, and declined taking up arms against their . government, were murdered in cold blood in their own dwellings, and even the women were shamefully maltreated. Men of all ages, from the beardless strippling to the gray haired sire, were . daily being forced into the rebel army, and their property confiscated by the rebel leaders. The individual who re lates these facts bears the impress of an intelli gent, honest and truthful man ; and the ap pearance of the whole family exhibits unmis takable evidence of the hardships -and suffer ing they have undergone in their flight from the land of treason and rebellion. The refugees are now enronte for Western New York, where they have relatives residing. Amoncs. in COTTON Goons.—Of the thousand wrongs attending rebellion, domestic or nation al, it is the poorer classes that suffer the moat for the time being.
