hloseurross.—To drive away these puny, but
troublesome insects, camphor is said to be the
most powerful agent. A camphor bag hung up
in an open casement will prove an effectual bar
rier to their entrance. Camphorated spirits ap
plied as a perfume to the face and hands, will
prove a good preventative, but when bitten by
them, aromatic vinegar is the best antidote.
DRUAKENESS AMONG TIM SOLDIRB2.—Foi the
last few days we have witnessed an unusual
amount of drunkenness among the volunteer
recruits stationed here. This is a lamentable
fact, and one that calls aloud for remedial
measures. Brave though they be the folly of
the cup is leading them sadly astray. No
uw,oures Can be adopted which will be too severe
to protect them from the vice of drink.
Lusts N ATURA IL —A lady, residing near
Dolphin, last week gave birth to a child which
is much deformed that its sex cannot be dis
tinguished, and it is supposed its life cannot be
prolonged over a few days. The upper portion
of its body to its waist is perfectly formed, but
i ;Ibtlomon is only covered with a thin skin,
whilst a large part of it is entirely without coy
leaving the intestines exposed to view ;
hii,l the sexual organs and anus are entirely want
in.! At last accounts the child was still living,
i,ut it is supposed that it cannot survive many
days longer.
DEATII OF AN AGBD CITIZEN or DAUPHIN.—
Mrs. Susanna Miller, one of the oldest inhabit
ants of the town of Dauphin, died on Friday
last at the advanced age of nearly 75 years.—
funeral took place on Sabbath morning,
and wins attended by a large concourse of rela
tives and acquaintances. Mrs. Miller wtts r bom
in Lancaster county, and educated at the Lit/
Female Seminary, but has resided in or near
the town of lLuphin for the last twenty years.
She was a consistent member of the Lutheran
church, and was beloved and esteemed by all
who were intimately acquainted with her.
A SQUIRREL CAITIIKED BX A RATTLESNAKE.-A
few days ago a gentlemtm in search of some sheep
which had strayed away on Peters mountain,
encountered a large rattlesnake, which he shot,
when just in the act of springing at him. Upon
examination he found the snake had seven rat
tles, and what was more remarkable, found a
fine large grey squirrel lying by its side, which
it had evidently killed with its fangs. How
the squirrel was captured by the snake Is of
course a mystery, but as the reptiles are said to
have the power of charming small birds and
animals, and even man, it is most probable that
the squirrel was captured by means of this mys
terious power.
THE NEW POSTAUE STAMPS differ materially
from the old ones in design, as they are uniform
in general appearance, and have the value of
the stamp designated in figures in each of the
upper comas, in addition to Ti. S. Postage,
Three Cents, &e. The one cent stamp repre
sents a profile bust of Franklin, and the. three
cent a profile bust of Washington. The five
cent has the head of Jefferson, the ten, twelve
and twenty-four cent the head of Washington,
the thirty cent the bust of Franklin, and the
ninety cent is distinguished by Trumbull:a head
of Washington. The time for exchanging stamps
and envelopes will soon close, and after that
date letters enclosed in uld style envelotlea, or
paid with the old stamps will not be forwarded
ed, but be sent to the Dead Letter Oft) at

itAaina Isrim.—Many persona are in the
habit of handing their letters to the mail agent
on the railroad and expecting him to mail them.
This he is not permitted to do under the law.
He can legally receive only such letters as there
is good reason to believe were written after the
closing of the mail at the local post office ; and
such as could not be mailed with due diligence,
will receive the stamp at the post office, when
they will be received by the agent on the road.
GONE. To PHILADKLPHIA.—The three secession
ists arrested in this city yesterday have been
given over to the United States authorities, and
left for Philadelphia at one o'clock this after
noon, in charge of policemen Taggart and
Franklin, and Deputy U. S. Marshal Sharkey,
who arrived here last night for that purpose.
The officers took charge of all the baggage be
longing to the party, including the money and
letters found on their persons, whih will be
produced as testimony against them. A hear
ing of the case was to have come off at the U.
S. District Attorney's office in Philadelphia, at
three o'clock this afternoon, but as the prisoners
did not leave in the nine o'clock, A. M. train,
as was originally intended, the hearing, we
presume, will not take place until to-morrow.
An Inveureix RAY son Drsstrreny AND
Purrs/arm Dixamum.—Dr. Page, of Washing.
ton, communicates the following to the Republi
can, of that city :
The following simple remedy, long known in
family practice, was recently tried in the camp
'of the New York Twenty-second regiment,
where there were from eighty to one hundred
cases daily of dysentery, and with rapid cures
in every case:
Recipe: In a tea cup half full of vinegar, dis
solve as much !salt as it will take up, leaving a
little excess of salt at the bottom of the cup.
Pour boiling water upon the solution till the
cup is two-thirds or three-quarters full. A
scum will rise to the surface, which must be re
moved and the solution allowed to cool.
Dose: Tablespoonful three times a day till re
lieved.
The rationale of the operation of this simple
medicine will readily occur to the pathologist,
and, in many hundred trials, I have never
known It to fail in dysentery and protracted
diarrhea.
AiLRBEIT OP • NOTOB.IOIIII PIOSMILIP.—Lest
night at the instance of Superintendent Young,
officers Campbell and Cole, arrested a man at
the depot, whose auspicious movements lead to
the belief that he was a pickpocket. The man
was taken to the lock-np and this morning had
a hearing before the Mayor, J. W. Brown and
D. Flemming, Esqs., appearing as his counsel.
Previous to the hearing, his honor the Mayor
received an aruaonymons letter from New York
city, stating that a notorious pickpocket named
Joseph Greenburg,aliaa Behrman, alias "nigger"
was in Harrisburg and would most probably be
found operating in the vicinity of the depot.
The letter gave a minute description of Behr
man, and singular to relate it corresponded pre
cisely with the man under arrest. The letter
was evidently written by an old pal, who
had either reformed from his bad habits, or
took this means to revenge himself on Behrman
for some unfair dealing, most likely for not
making a proper share of the "divies."
Officer Taggart of the Philadelphia detective
police, who happened to be in the city to take
charge of the secessionists arrested yesterday,
at once recognised the prisoner as a notorious
pickpocket, answering to the names given in
the anonymous letter. When before the
Mayor the prisoner gave his name as "Joseph
Sharpe."
Several witnesses were eiamined, but in con
sequence of the absence of important additional
testimony the Mayor remanded him for a further
hearing.

persons should be careful pf themselves, their
diet, and exposure to the sea ; for at such times
extra caution is required that we may have our

GOOD FOOD AND PLENTY. —What a rich
abundance of delightful potatoes we are hav
ing. A real Mercer "Murphy," well cooked,
and mealy, is delightful, say what you will—
all over the country. Through Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, especially, the tubers are of
fine size, and the crop bids fair to be an unusu
ally valuable one the present season. This will
be comfortable news to thousands of our popu
lation.
I=l=l
Behrman has been in this city for some time,
and was identified by some of the railroad offi
cials es the man who was arrested about two
weeks ago at the depot by a passenger in the cam
for attempting to pick a pocket, but managed to
escape betore the arrival of a police officer. Hon'
Q. B. Barrett, of Clearfield county, also identi;
fled the Prisoner as the person who robbed him
of a pocket book at the depot a !short time ago,
and has laid a regular information against him.
It is said that when arrested at the depot last
night, the prisoner waa in company with two or
three confederates, who managed tO e ff ect their
escape. They are known to the police, how-.
err, and will be effectually watched during.
their itay in the city.

THIRTY-TWO RRBEL PRISONERS SOIL WASHING
TON. —The express train on the Pemutylvania
railroad, which reached this city yesterday at.
noon from Pittsburg contained a number of
prisoners of war en route for Washington city 7
They consisted of thirty-two Rebel soldiers who
were captured at the battles of Philiippi t .Laurel
Hill and Rich Mountain. Among the number
was a Captain Curry, formerlra law partner of
Gov. Letcher, of Virginia. The men had been
attached to one of the Virginia regiments, and
were on the field when Gen. Garnet was killed.
They ware in charge of Capt. Way, of the 26th
Ohio Regiment.
Hour AND rrs COMFORTS. -Toil physical and
labor mental is the birth-right of mankind, and
how =my are over-tasked in providing the or
dinary wants of their wives and little ones 7
But it is a glorious reflection to the indusfribus
and honest man that these tasks and ti Isis are
ordered by a wise dispensation. Much of the
gloom that will at times cloud our brows,
is dissipated by the kind welcome we know
awaits us at home after the toil and labor of the
week is ended. The smile of our wife is still
more cL ar should our earnings permit us to drop
in at Urich & Bowman, and purchase any lit
tle dry good wants for the family. ang22-2t.
