',TAUREAN SYNOD OF WEST PENNSYLVANIA. -
The Evangelical Lutheran Synod of West Penn
sylvania, commenced Its sessions in the Lutheran
church of Mechanicsburg, on Friday evening,
the 27th ult., and adjourned finally on the fol
lowing Tuesday evening to meet in Shippens
burg, next fall, at the usual time. The terri
tory of this Synod embraces Cumberland, York,
Adams and Franklin counties. The number of
ministers is about forty.
The Synod was organized by the election of
Rev. E. Bridenbaugh, of Greencastle, President;
Rev. Alleman, of Hanover, Secretary ; and
Prof. Jacobs, of Gettysburg, Treasurer. During
the sessions of Synod, considerable business of
a local nature was transacted, and a spirit of
harmony characterized the proceedings. There
was no business before the Synod of an exciting
character, and hence there were no very pro
tracted or exciting discussions. On Tuesday
evening a number of young men were ordained
to preach the Gospel. The services during the
Synod were of an interesting character, and the
preaching and addresses were of a high order.
Loons Balms. —Who has not uttered curses
both loud and deep against the loose pavement
bricks which encumber many pavements in va
rious sections of the city? In these days of
stub-the boots, half the pleasure of a walk is
lost, especially at night, because one is in con
tinual terror of these torturous impediments.
Every person who lays any claim to the posses
sion of humane, or even human feelings, should
make it his or her invariable practice to kick or
push from the walk every loose piece of brick
they encounter. This should be done both
when your toes have been bruised by striking
the obstacle and when they have not. There
is something of sublime philanthropy in going
out of the way to kick one of these bricks,
"more in sorrow than in anger," when it has
not molested you ; whereas, to kick it off out
of revenge for its abrasion of your foot, is yield
ing to cerebellic rather than to lofty cerebral
impulses. There is a scientific way of approach
ing these bricks, and sweeping them into the
street without stopring your walk, which all
true philanthropists should learn.
Tam Vormrremt, named James Gehr, belong
ing to Col. Sam. Black's regiment, whose arri
val here was noticed in last Wednesday's Tara
(MASH, still remains at the City Hotel, in a very
weak condition. After the refusal of the keep
er of the Poor House to keep him, on the order
of the Mayor, last Wednesday, Mr. Thompson,
the keeper of the City Hotel, secured an order
signed by two of our city Alderman for the ad
mission of the man into the Poor House, but
this, it seems, was also disregarded by the
keeper, who reiterated his instruction from the
Directors, "not to receive any soldiers." Under
these circumstances Mr. Thompson again re
turned to town with the soldier, and made a
second application to the Mayor, who went
with him to Judge Pearson, when that gentle
man informed them that "the wants of the sol
dier must be properly attended to" and directed
the Mayor to secure him good lodgings, medi
cal attendance and such other comforts as were
necessary, and make out the bill against the
D irectors of the Poor of Jefferson county (where
the soldier resides) who were bound to pay it.
Ceder these instructions the Mayor obtained
giuga for the soldier at the City Hotel, where
his now domiciled, and receiving the medical
aul ttention of Dr. Rutherford, under whose skill_
treatment it is to be hoped be will soon be
restored to health sufficient to join his regi
nient.

lightful re-union, at the Exchange in Walnut
street, next Thursday evening..
THE season of the 'sere and yellow leaf is
here with all its deepening shades of a dying
year. The woods are still beautiful, like old
temples as they are, but yet sombre and full of
low mournful whisperings. But there is a
wealth in all these that makes the harvest full
and enduring.
A SuccEssoß TO linnor BOWMAN.—A special
convention of the diocese of Pennsylvania has
been called by the Right Rev. Bishop Potter, to
meet at St. Andrew's Church, Philadelphia, on
Wednesday, the 23d day of October, at 10 o'-
clock, a. in. The object is to elect an Assistant
Bishop, in the place of the late lamented Bish
op Bowman.
JUVENILE DiPRAVITY.- -Last Saturday evening
the neighborhood of State and Second streets
was the scene of one of the most disgusting
spectacles we have ever witnessed in our repor
torial experience. Surrounded by a group of a
dozen or more boys, was one, apparently not
more than eight years old, in a state of beastly
intoxication ! He was shoeless, coatless and
hatless, and with his bloated cheeks, and dis
helved hair, matted and tangled, half concealing
his blood-shot eyes, be presented altogether a
picture of moral degradation scarcely ever
equalled in the annals of human depravity.
Even his juvenile companions seemed to be im
pressed with a proper sense of his degraded con
dition, and kindly sought to assist him to the
residence of his mother, a poor hard working
woman, in South street; but to these well meant
efforts the drunken boy made resistance, follow
ing it up with a string of oaths the most shock
ing in the vocabulary of. profanity. He was
finally, overcome, however, by an elder brother,
who succeeded in pitching the young delinquent
across his shoulder like a bag of oats, in which
position he was taken home, where it is to be
hoped, after he had recovered from his drunken
debauch, that he was submitted to a vigorous
application of that which Soloman in the ma
turity of his wisdom enjoined upon parents to
"spare not."

Tax "Cnrepnwas."— The Thirty-seventh
Pennsylvania volunteers, Col. James Miller,
who have been encamped for several weeks
past at Camp Washington near Easton, arrived
here last Saturday by the Lebanon Valley Rail
road. Quite a number of the men of this regi
ment have been in the three months service,
and their experience tends to increase the effi
cienciof the command. It is a noticeable fact
that the regiment contains men of the very
best fighting material—a great many of whom
are countrymen of Corcoran, Mulligan and
Meagher.• The Colonel, James Miller, served
with distinction in the Mexican War, as Cap
tain of the "Stockton Artillerists," of Mauch
Chunk, Second Pennsylvania volunteers. Major
General Quitman, in his report of the battle of
Chepultepec, speaks of the gallant Captain as
leader of one of the storming parties. The men
of the Thirty-seventh need never wish for a
brave or experienced Colonel, while Jim Miller
rides at the head of their column. Capt. Eli
T. Conner, of Mauch Chunk, has been chosen
Major. A better selection could not have been
made. Major Conner is a civil engineer, and in
every way qualified to fill the position to which
he has been called. The field and line officers
are all gentlemen of experience and ability.
The "Musical Department," under the charge
of an old printer, Fife Major Charles D. Sig
man, has fallen into competent hands.

WHAT is IN THI %MOON ?—lf two persona
are to occupy a bedroom during a night let
them step upon weighing scales as they retire,
and then again hi the morning, and they will
find their actual weight is at least a pound less
in the morning. Frequently there will be a
loss of two or more pounds, and the average
loss thoughout the year will be more than one
pound. That is, during the night there is a
loss of a pound of matter gone from their bod
ies, partly from the lungs and partly through
the pores of the skin. The escaped material is
carbonic acid, and decayed animal matter, or
poisonous exhalations. This is diffused through
the air in part, and in part absorbed by the bed
clothes. If a single ounce of wood or cotton
be burned in a room, it will so completely sat
urate the air with smoke that one can hardly
breathe, though there can only be one ounce
of foreign matter in the air. If an ounce of
cotton be burned every hour during the night,
the air will be continually saturated with smoke
unless there be an open door or window for it
to escape. Now the sixteen ounces of smoke,
thus formed, is far less poisonous than the six
teen ounces of exhalations from the lungs and
bodies of the two persons who have lost a pound
in weight during the eight hours of sleeping,
for while the dry smoke is mainly taken into
the lungs, the damp odors from the body are
absorbed both into the lungs and into the pores
of the whole body.
Need more be said to show the importance of
having bedrooms well ventilated and of tho
roughly airing the sheets, coverlids and mat
tresses, in the morning before putting up in the
form of a neatly made bed? Perhaps the worst
of all bedroom evils is the feather bed—but ac
cording to the notion of some, if it is old and
dirty it is so much the better—if it was slept on
by a greategrandmother, and has absorbed the
exhalations of the body, the disease and de
composition of three generations, it is a capital
bed. A grand mistake. Being an insulation
against the free circulation of the electric forces
of the system, and being a body of constantly
decaying animal matter, a feather bed is the
w f oret of all couches to sleep upon. A person

TOWN.—Lieut. Horace Porter, U. S. A.,
son of Ex-Governor Porter, was in town this
morning, looking remarkable well. Lieut.
Porter, is attached to the staff of Brig. General
Sherman, Fifth Artillrry, as chief of ordinance,
in which capacity he has already distinguished
himself.
A LADY KILLS A RATTLESNAKB.-- 7 011 last
Friday a young lady in the household of John
Hormel, Esq., of East Bethlehem, Washington
county, encountered an enormous reptile near
her residence. The heroic girl, instead of run
ning, as many would have done, gave battle,
and soon vanquished the loathsome symbol of
Confederate treason. Upon examination it was
found to be a rattlesnake, forty-three inches
long, and bearing eleven rattles.
PENNSYLVANIA EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION. -
The Convention of Representatives of the dif
ferent classes of schools and literary institutions
in the State was to have met in Philadelphia,
on the 21st of last May, but was postponed in
consequence of the then recent disturbance of
the public peace. It has been again called to
meet in this city on Tuesday, November 26,
1861, at 10 o'clock, am. It will continue in
session four days
DISORDERLY Houss.—The 42 section of the
revised penal code comes at disorderly and ill
governed houses in the following manner :
"If any person shall keep and maintain a
common, ill-governed and disorderly house or
place, to the encouragement of idleness, gam
ing, drinking or other misbehavior, to the com
mon nuisance and disturbance of the neighbor
hood, he or she shall be guilty of a misde
meanor, and on conviction be sentenced to pay
a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, or to
undergo an imprisonment not exceeding one
year, or both or either, at the discretion of the
Court."
Ma cool weather has turned the attention of
the soldiers to the ;construction of temporary
fire places in their tents. The plan adopted by
one of the New York regiments is to dig a
trench a foot wide and deep, running from the
interior to the exterior of the tent, to the
exterior of the tent, then to cover it over with
the exception of a foot at either end, the inside
serving as a fire place, and the outside end,
covered with a headless barrel, serves as a
chimney. This invention is said to be of Cali
fornia origin.
AN EITEOTRAL OMB FOR THY EAR AOHR.-
Take a small piece of cotton batting, or cotton
wool, make a depression in the center with the
end of the finger, and fill it with as much
ground pepper as rest on a five cent piece,
gather it into a ball and tie it up, dip the ball
into sweet oil and insert it in the ear, covering
the latter with cotton wool, and use a bandage
or cap to retain it in its place. Almost instant
relief will be experienced, and the application
is so gentle that an infant will not be injured
by it, but experience relief as well as adults.
Ocrossa.—This month was called Domitianta,
in the time of Domitian; but after his death it
was, by the decree of the:senate, altered to Oc
tober, every one hating the name and memory
of so detestable a tyrant. The Saxons called
October Wyn-Bronat, for, although they had not
wines made as in Germany, yet, in this season,
they had them from divers countries adjoining.
Peachum describes October as clad "in a gar
ment of yellow and carnation; upon his head,
a garland of oak leaves, with the acorns; in his
right hand the sign Scorpio; in his left, a basket
of services, medlars, chestnuts, and otherfruits,
that ripen at the, latter time of the year; his
robe is of the color of the leaves and flowers
decaying." On the 3d of the ides of October,
the Romans had a festival called Imam/la,
wherein they adorned their fountains and wells
with chaplets.
Forwram HAM Bauss.—To travelers
the new patent brush is an article of the first
necessity, inasmuch as it abolishes the hair oil
bottle; the reservoir, when charged, containing
a sufficient quantity of fluid for two or three
months. Greasy fingers are the necessary re
sult of using hair oils with the common hair
brush, but all fluid preparations for the hair
may be used with this cleanly invention with
out soiling the hands in the slightest degree.
Moreover, it is the only brush through which
the fluids used in dressing the haii can be
equally distributed, and by which the quantity
to be used can NI regulated to a drop. Dress
ing wigs, toupees, fronts, false ringlets, &c.,
usually a very troublesome and unpleasant pro
cess, is, scarcely any trouble at all with the
Fountain Hair Brush, and involves no necessity
for ever touching the fluid applied. For sale at
Keller's Drug and Fancy Store, No. 91 Market
street. See advertisement.
VOTES or Coml.—The following is the result
of the vote polled last Tuesday by the volunteers
from this county stationed at Camp Advance in
Vixginia
Pearson, 6 ; Isaac Mumma 8 ; Young, 8 ;
Fox, 8 ; Freeland, 7 ; MUler, 1; Prothonotary,
Young, 8 ; Buck,.6 ; Speel, 3 ; Marqnart, 8;
Moyer, 8 ; Enders, 8 ; Peffer, 7.
The following is the result of the role polled
by the Dauphin county soldiers, at Fort Ethan
Allen, also in Virginia. The returns were re
ceived at the Prothonatary's office at noon to
day: Pearson 6; Mumma 6; Young 6; Fox 6 ;
Freeland 6.; Prothonotary Young 6 ; Buck 6 ;
Moyer 6; Marqnant 6; Enders 6; Peffer 6.
It will be seen that the above returns
very materially decreases Speers 'majority for
County Treasurer, and as there are other camps
yet to hear from, it is not at all improbable that
in the arse of our friend Jack, the truth of the
old saw that
" The battle is not always won
By they who fastad run, &Q."
may yet be folly realized.
Cake Caninou.—We visited Camp Cameron
yesterday afternoon, in company with Col. J.
B. Keene, (late of Camp Cruikelaanks,) and was
received by our ancient friend and officer of the
day, Capt. Isaac Waterbtuy, with all .the urban
ity peculiar to the soldier and gentleman. We
noticed as a soldier our good-looking friend,
Mr. Hugh Moony, of Philadelphia, also, J. S.
Royal, Esq., of the Home Guard.. The camp is
