MUNITIONS OF WAR.—Several wagon loads of
arms and munitions of war arrived at the State
Arsenal to-day. ' . -

ASSAULT AND BATTERY. —A colored man named
James Jackson was arrested this morning by
officer Fleck, charged with committing an as
sault and battery upon another colored man.
In default of bail Alderman Kline sent him to
prison to answer.
THE CANAL.-The late rains have severely
damaged the western division of the canal,
creating no less than twenty-four breaches be
tween Pittsburg and Freeport. The aqueduct
over Bull Creek was swept away, and a heavy
breach made near Tarentum.

THE LEOTURE of Miss Le Suer on "Our Repub

the inclement weather, until this evening. The
subject is an interesting one, and he lady be

to witness a full attendence this evening at the
Methodist Episcopal church.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-011 Tuesday night, as
one of the freight trains on the Northern Cen
tral railroad was running between Glenrock
and Hanover Junction, James McCubbin, a
brakesman on the train, attempted to hang out
a lantern at the rear of the train. While he
was thus engaged the train approached a bridge,
and he was struck and knocked from the train.
He was badly cut about the face and head, but
his injuries are fortunately not of a serious
character. He was taken to Baltimore, where
be resides.
RETURNING VOLUNTNERS.—Last evening the
Fourth regiment of Wisconsin three month's
volunteers, arrived here in two extra trains
from Baltimore on their return from the seat of
war. Their time of enlistment expired several
weeks ago, but they unanimously agreed to re
main longer at the request of their Colonel.
They were with General Patterson's division
during the campaign in the Winchester valley,
and were last stationed along the line of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal guarding the dams
and locks, which were threatened with destruc
tion by the secessionists. They left Point of
Rocks on Monday last, their place being filled
by the First Maryland regiment, Colonel Ken
ly. The First Wisconsin numbers 740 men,
they having lost in killed, wounded and sick
about 40 men. Their uniform is gray with the
peculiar caps worn by the volunteers from that
state.
The principal officers are as follows :—Col.
Starkwether, Lieut. Col. Harris, Major Purcell
and Adjutant Poole. They will return to Mil
waukie, where they will be reorganized and re
cruited for the war.
Ares.—Without a doubt every one must have
naticed the extraordinary number of flies with
rich we are afflicted this summer. They have
taken possession of the hotels, stores, offices
and private houses, and act as independently and
impudently as if they were a company of rebel
cavalry. Talk about sleeping in the afternoon!
The thing is an utter impossibility. Just as
you are falling into a gentle doze, you hear one
coming straight towards you, from the other
side of the room—there he comes-z-z z —and
then you strike a regular Heenan stroke and
are wide awake in three seconds, with, perhaps,
no very pious thoughts on your mind. Being
driven back in the first encounter, he deploys
and makes an attack on the other side, as soon
as he sees your eye-lids close—then comes an
other wide-awake spell—and so on for half an
hour, until you become nervous and excited,
and wisely conclude that there is no slumber
for your eyelids that afternoon. What a bles
sing the "varmints" can't see at night ! They
make it suit, however, to be about very early
in the morning, and, no doubt are thus very
beneficial to the health, being condusive to
early rising.

ANOTHER FUGITIVE FROM VFRGINIA. —Yester
day afternoon a two horse wagon arrived in our
city, containing a family who had been com
pelled to fly from Virginia by the persecutions
of the Secessionists. The man, who gave his
name as George Williamson, is a native of
Pennsylvania, but has for a number of years
been residing in Virginia, eight miles above
Cumberland, quite close to the Maryland line,
where he was comfortably situated, and was
doing well until the commencement of the pre
sent difficulties. A short time since, he was
waited upon by the rebels and asked to join
the army, which he refused to do, declaring his
attachment to the Union. At different times
the same requisition was made which he still
continued to disregard, until a few days ago,
when he was notified that he must either join
the army or leave the State in ten hours, on
pain of death if he remained. On receiving this
notice he immediately began to make prepara
tions to depart, but in about two hours a large
party of the rebels came to his house and began
to search for him, declaring their intention to
kill him if they found him. He fortunately
eluded the search by hiding himself until after
their departure, when leaving everything be
hind him which ho possessed in the world, he
put his family, consisting of his wife and three
children into his wagon, and escaped over the
Maryland line three days ago. He is now on
his way to Philadelphia, where his friends and
relatives reside.
This circumstance affords an additional evi
dence of the relentless persecutions carried on
against all true patriots by the craven rebels in
"Secessia," of i ich so many instances have
recently been broug to notice.
Pm-Mo.—The Eintracht Singing Association
Will give their first pic-nic of the season in
Haehenlin's woods on Monday, the 19th inst.
A " gay and happy" time may be expected.
(APT. I. S. WATERBERRY will at once go into
camp with the recruits he has already under his
command, having received orders from the
Secretary of War, to supply himself at the U.
S. Commissary's Department, and being also
supplied with tents at once to start his camp.
Capt. Waterberry is a soldier, and he has proved
his claim to the title on more than one hard
fought battle field. We cheerfully recommend
those who want to see service that will crown
them with glory, to attach themselves to the
command of Capt. Waterberry.

ARRIVAL OF PRINCE NAPOLEON. —The noon
train from New York city to-day, via Reading,
brought with it a special car, containing no less
a personage than Prince Napoleon, first'cousin
of the Emperor of the French. His arrival
was unheralded, and but comparatively few of
our citizens were lucky enough to get a view
of the distinguished stranger.
The Prince is a fine looking gentleman of 40
years or thereabouts, of medium height, and
rather inclined to stoutness. His face was clear
of any hirsute appendages, and its appearance
bore a striking resemblance to the first Napo
leon. He was plainly attired in a light colored
slouch hat, light sack coat and light pantaloons.
Col's. Ferri, Pisani, Ragon, Capt. Dubinison
and Count de Medern of the French army and
navy accompanied tie Prince on his travels.
The distinguished party left in the 1.30 train
for Altoona, where they will remain over night
and proceed next morning to Pittsburg.
PAY ir Possim..—We hear complaints abroad
of a disposition upon the part of those well able
to pay as they go, to avail themselves of the
plausible excuse of dull times to avoid the
prompt payment of little bills due to tradesmen,
mechanics and others. This is to be regretted.
Nothing so contributes to weaken confidence
and press business activity as to withdraw from
the retail trade of any business its just due, in
times like the present, and we hold that the
man who would urge the present troubles as an
excuse for not paying small bills, when he can
pay as well at one time as another, is guilty of
one of the worst of the moral wrongs attendant
upon business operation in a season of general
depression. Never hoard up money, when no
thing can be gained by it, more especially when
you have debts which are over due to parties
dependent upon their earnings to sustain them
selves and their families. Pay, if possible.
A BAn PRACTlCE.—Thoughtless people, when
eating a peach, a watermelon, or a canteloup,
instead of throwing the peeling or rind into
the street, toss it upon the pavement. Unsus
pecting persons, passing along, accidentally
tread upon one of these rinds, and find them
selves immediately down upon the pavement,
with a head bruised by the fall, a leg broken,
or an ankle sprained. A man that would make
a hole in the pavement, into which passers
could unsuspectingly step and break a limb,
would be considered an inhuman sort of per
son, and he would be made to pay the penalty
of riamagoo, for tho injuries he caused. But the
injury is the same, whether it is done mali
ciously, by setting a trap, or thoughtlessly, by
individuals too mentally lazy to think always
correctly of the consequences of their acts. A
person has no right to imperil another's person
in the street, and no right-minded individual
would do it. A man or woman of sense would
throw the rind or paring of fruit into the street,
or, better still, into the slop-tub. If at any
time such a person were to see a peach-paring
or watermelon rind upon the pavement, he or
she would immediately toss it into the street
with the foot, so as to prevent some person less
observing from receiving injury. Whenever
we see this being done, we instinctively feel
respect rising in our mind for the person, for
the act affords evidence that the individual has
good sense to perceive the impropriety of leav
ing anything upon the pavement which can do
mischief—a thoughtful consideration for the
safety of others, and real kindness of heart to
save from injury. The person who thought
lessly or recklessly throws fruit parings or
rinds upon the pavement has neither.
SLANG PLCRASM. —This is certainly an inven
tive age, and the progression that Young Amer
ica is making in phraseology and manufactured
expressioni, most emphatically demands a dic
tionary of their vocabulary, in order that the
unsophisticated listener may comprehend their
peculiar language. For instance, if Young
America is embarrassed in pecuniary matters,
he has 'nary red,' or 'he can't raise the soap.'
Money is known to them by various names,
such as 'tin," `shiners,' the ready,' the aurife
rous,' spondulics,' &c., and if he has a duty to
perform, 'he can't do it too quick,' or 'too much.'
If he gets into difficulty, he has a 'muss' or a
'iet to,' and he reproves angry vehemence by
suggesting to the enraged party that he
`needn't put himself into a cast iron perspira
tion.' He has no particular residence but
`hangs out,' or 'stops.' In cases where common
people pay, Young America 'shells out,' ponies
up,' or 'forks over,' and if he asks for credit he
wants to 'run his face.' Young America never
becomes intoxicated, but frequently gets a 'brick
in his hat,' blind drunk,' or 'slightly set up.'
If he has any peculiarities that is 'his style,'
and his favorite ejaculation is 'bully! ' If
melancholly he is 'out of sorts,' or 'down in the
mouth,' got the blues,' and if his purse is
empty, he is 'strapped' or 'hard up.' If he
rides out he has a 'two-forty nag,' and generally
holds the 'ribbons' at arms length. If you
contradict him, he protests that he wants 'none
of your lip,' consequently you must 'dry up,'
'simmer down,' cat it short,' or 'cork up and
bust.'
These are but few of the modern expressions
in general use with young America. Altogether
they would swell a volume larger than Web
ster's unabridged.
And he who uses such phrases, whatever his
position in life, need not attempt to convince
anybody that he is a gentleman, or trustwor
thy.

How To FINISH THE ARMY Woasi.—A Mr. El
dridge of Chatham, has invented a way to de
stroy the army worm, which we submit for the
benefit of our readers : Seeing their approach
he took a plough and made a furrow each side
of the fence, in which he dug holes about ten
feet apart, and when they came to this en
trenchment they could not scale it, but crawl
lengthwise they would fall into these holes,
and were thus easily destroyed.
APPLEs.—There is scarcely an article of vege
table food more widely useful, or more univer
sally loved, than the apple. Why every farm
er in the nation has not an apple orchard,
wherever trees will grow at all, is one of the
mysteries. Let every family lay in from one
to ten or more barrels, and it will be to them
the most economical investment in the whole
range of culinaries. A raw mellow apple is
digested in an hour and a half, while boiled
cabbage requires five hours. The most health
ful dessert that can be placed on the table is a
baked apple. If taken freely at breakfast, with
coarse bread and butter, without meat or flesh
of any kind, it has an admirable effect upon
the general system ; often removing constipa
tion, correcting acidities, and cooling off febrile
conditions more effectually than the most ap
proved medicines. If families could be induced
to substitute the apple, sound, ripe and luscious,
for the pies, cakes, candies and other sweet
meats with their children are too often indis
criminately stuffed, there would be a diminu
tion in the sum total of doctor's bills in a single
year sufficient to lay in a stock of this delicious
fruit for a whole season's use.
CHANT; OF WEATHER.—The. cold mornings
and evenings remind us that the laws of nature
will inflict upon us before long, cold weather,
"and the same face that says prepare for war
in time of peace," will apply to preparing good
and suitable clothing for the winter. It is the
duty and privilege of every man woman and
child to buy their goods on the most favorable
terms, owing to the large stock of dry goods on
hand & BOWMAN are still selling at the
old prices, corner Front and Market streets.
