pah (rtitgrapt, HARRISBURG 3looday Afternoon. December 2, 1861. ArroisrEn James A. •Congdon, Esq., Cap tain of the "Marietta Cameron Guards" in the t hree months' service, has been appointed Ma jor of Col. Frismuth's Regiment of Cavalry, the Curtin Hussars. Major Congdon, was - formerly a resident of this city. Is TOWN.—Messrs. Phelan and Cavanaugh— the great billiard players—were in town last Saturday on a tour of observation. During the day, they visited Poulton's Billiard Saloon, where Cavanaugh astonished the "natives" by scoring 81 points in little less than no time. POLICE AT :um DEPOT.-Mr. Michael Newman, air many years aconstAble of Harrisburg, and latterly the policeman in attendance at the. P e nnsylvania railroad depot, has been removed from that post to make room for Ex-Chief Po lice constable Radabaugh. The new arrange ment went into operation this morning. WE ARE making "dictionary" in the present war, almost as fast as "history." Every day brings out some new phrase, not always neat, but generally forcible. Such is one of our Western exchanges' description of the motive which induced another to write a certain as tounding article. Tne motive, according to the allegation, was "pure cussedness 4; We have a fancy that the phrase is a good one for a very large ingredient in human character. TOOK TIMER SEATS.—The President and Asso ciate Judges, and Prothonotary and Register of Wills, chosen at the last election, were severally sworn in and entered upon the discharge of their duties to-day. The remaining county offi cers will enter upon their respective duties as follows : The Director of the Poor on the second Tues day in November The County Treasurer, on the first Monday in January The County Commissioner, on the fourth Mon day in January I=l TELE PRIZE CONUNDRUM.. —The offering of a gold pencil to the author of the best original national Conumdrum served to draw a crowded house for the benefit of "Brudder Bones" of Sanford's Opera Troupe at Brant's Hall last Saturday night. The following are some of the couumdrums offered on the occasion, the first of which written by Sam. Sanford, took the prize Why does Pennsylvania send more volunteers than any other State ? Because the Curtin they see through knows the wants of Uncle Sam. Why is JEFF. DAVIS like a man overboard in a heavy sea ? Because, outside of Providential interference, the only thing he can expect is a rope's end. Why is Jeff.' Davis like a full fed "porker ?" Because he has grown fat at the "public crib" only to be executed for the benefit of his keepers. What •is it that General Scott seldom saw God never saw, and we see every day ? Our equal. Why is Sanford's troupe like, our country's flag ? Because with its representation of "stars," to which there is ever being made accessions, it excels every competition, growing brighter at the meeting of every adverse circumstance and commanding the respect and admiration of the world. Why is a cow like a cooking stove ? Because it can't climb a tree. Tue "Bmilasa."—The word •'Bummer" is a late aequisition to our language. Neither Web ster nor Worcester, in their respective lexicons, have noticed the term. Nevertheless, it is .one of much insignificance, and is comprehensive in its meaning. It is very frequently used by po lice reporters to denote a wretched, forsaken, dissipated man. Whenever a man has become lost to a sense of shame, destitute of the means of living, is an object of derision to the thought_ less, and of pity to the comp tssionate, he is styled a "Bummer." While the "Bummer" may occasioually be found in 'the country vil lage, he is peculiar indigenous to the city where he and his confreres abound in great variety and perfection. His haunts are the lowest and vil localities, where his bestial appetites are gratified, to excess and where the lowest depths of degradation are reached in toe easiest possi ble manner. Hundreds infest this city, and can be daily seen creeping along the street pleading for alms in the most importunate Manner, or sneakingly on the lookout for some article which they may steal without the probability of arrest. The Bummer thrives best near the de pots, and at the market on Wednesday and Sat urday mornings. No description can adequate ly convey a correct idea of tke Bummer. It is necessary to visit his haunt to fully appreciate him. ' Many of these poor creatures once occu pied respectable positions in society, and not un frequently revert to their former condition as a palliation for their misconduct. Not a day passes but a number of Bummers are arraigned before the Mayor. They make their appearance there, wearing an air of injured dignity, and in a con sequential tone demand the cause of his arrest. Habituated to seeking the Lock-up as a . lodg ing place, they are under tl4) impression that they went there the night previous of choice. and indignantly repel the charge of being found drunk and asleep on a cellar door. They listen attentively to the testimony of the officer who arrested them, at the conclusion of which they look into the officer's face, and remark, "you're a perjured man," or perhaps, in less chaste lan guage, assure the witness teat he has sworn to a lie. la, the Mayor, in indignent a orals, the bummer protests his innocence, but on finding that it is the determination of his honor to send him over the way for a fortnight, his demeanor changes, he acknowledges the justness of the charge, and ba , eechingly begs, for mercy. Over he goes, however. Not nnfrequently one-half of the prisoners confined in the Lock-up are of this class. THE FOURTH STREET BETHEL.-Wm. Petty, chaplain of Col. Wood's regiment stationed at Camp Curtin, filled the pulpit of the Fourth Street Bethel last evening, to the manifest grat ification of a large and intelligent audience. PA ATTENTION, CITIZEN.-A regular stated meet ing of the Citizen Fire Company will be held their hall this (Monday) evening, Dec 2, 1861, at 7 o'clock. Every member is requested to be punctual in attendance, as business of import ance will be transacted. By order. HORSE TRIEVES.—The country, just now seems to be infested with horse thieves, and we advise our farmer friends and others who are possessed of fine animals, to look well to their stable door fastenings. Several horses have mysteriously disappeared recently from the vi cinity ef Chambersburg. THE " ANDERSON BODY GUARD." —This corps, numbering over one hundred rank and file, ori ginally intended as a body guard for Gen. Rob ert Anderson, as commander of the Department of Kentucky, arrived in our city this morning from Carlisle Barracks en route for Kentucky, where they will serve as a body guard to Gen. Buell, now in command of that Department. Nearly every county in the State has a repre sentative in the "Guard," and taken altogether there is not a finer looking body of men in the service.. A TOUGH ONE.—A correspondent of the Indi ana Messenger states that while Mr. Wm. Gil mons of Armstrong township, was hauling pumpkins from a field, he discovered a land turtle, held by one leg between a pumpkin and a stone, where it had been caught by the rapid growth of the former. The turtle had been held so long that the pumpkin had grown over it, and shaped a portion of the shell on its sur face. When the vegetable was removed the prisoner was released from his confinement, and immediately traveled for other quarters. The story (or the the pumkin) is a remarkable one. FATHER AIM DAUGHTER.—There is no prettier picture in life , than that of a daughter reading to her aged father. The old man, while listen ing to her silvery notes, goes back to other times when another sat by his side and whis pered words he will never hear again ; nor does he wish to ; for, in soft evening light, he secs her image reflected in her child, and, as one by. one gentle emotions steal over him, he veils his face, and the daughter, thinking him asleep, goes noiselessly in search of other employment. Virgin innocence , watching over the cares and little wants of old age, is a spectacle fit for an gels. lt is one of the links between earth and heaven, and takes from the face of the mess sarily hard and selfish world many of its harsh est features. THE Loss of RAILROAD CARL —Since the war has broke out the freight cars of the different railroads have been used freely upon one anoth er's roads. The result is that none of them know where their cars are. It is no unusual thing to see cars of the New Jersey Central, or Williamsport and Elmira and Pennsylvania Railroad cars standing about the sidelings in Washington. The Baltimore and Ohio have lost over forty that they cannot find, and have accordingly, sent men out all over the country wherever a railroad runs to hunt them up and get them home. The freight coming into Washington would make one continuous string from two and a half to three miles long.— Thursday a train nearly a half a mile long, loaded with wood, came in. Before the war, wood along the road was poor sale, little er none being sent. over the road; now the trade is immense, and prices have again gone up for woodland to almost fabulous rates. Tun CASS OF LAriscres.-,The court martial which originally tried and convicted the private Lanahan for the murder of Major Lewis, of the 46th Perina., was reconvened last week, to re consider that case. When Lanahan was called upon to plead, he replied "guilty, for," he said, "I committed the deed, and am willing to suffer for it, although I had no desire to take his or any man's life." The only witness against him, he said; did not exaggerate his 'offence, but had stated one or two incidents connected with the affair of which the prisoner had no recollection; but as he had previously been partially in toxicated, and had but an indefinite conception, l of the whole transaction, it Ives possible nothing had been misstated or modified. He spoke with much feeling of the officers of the. Provost .Guard, enumerating by name Major Stone, Captain Wenrick, Lieuts. Augustine and Voor hes, and Adjutant Patch. The other prisoners, too, he said, had respected his condition, and through the canvass of his tent he had often heard expressed fervent hopes for his welfare and his escape from the ex treme penalty of the law ; but he had no hcipe of the latter. The sentence of death had been or would be, pronounced against him, and he was, through the consolation Of religion, ready to expiate his crime. He thought great for bearance was exhibited towards him, that he was not killed on the spot, when he shot the Major ; and for this he was thankful. He said : On the opening of this war he had left his home in good health and with a warm heart, to aid in preserving the Government and the Union. He served three months,, re inlisted for the war, and up to the time of the act for which he ex pected to suffer, he had no other object to ac complish, and no hostility against any one save the enemies of his country. He was crazed, he said, when he fired the fatal shot. Rey. Father Dougherty, of Rockville, continues to visit Lanahan, and ministers to him the consolations of the Catholic religion. • " How empty learning, and how vain is art Save when it guides the life, and mends the PRUDENCE.-" One grain of prudence is of more value that a cranium crowded with the unbridled genius, - or a flowing stream of vain wit. It is the real ballast of human life.' With out it, dangers gather thick and fast around the rail bark of man and hurry him on to distruc ion. The shores of time are lined with wrecks driven before the gale of imprudence. It is not prudence for children to disregard the good counsel of their parents and teachers. It is not prudence for parents to let their children grow up in idleness." It is not prudence to pay high prices for . dry goods when you can purchase them much less at the cheap store of 13rich Bowman; corner of Front and Market streets.

SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT. —The passenger train from Baltimore due here at one o'clock to day, when about a mile below Bridgeport, on the opposite side of the river, ran over a cow which threw the locomotive and two of the front cars off the track. The locomotive and the car next to it, ladened heavily with oysters, went down tht embankment several feet. The engineer and fireman were somewhat in jured but not seriously. Directly after the accident occurred, word was sent to the officials of the road in this city who at once despatched physicians to the scene of the disaster to attend to the wants of the wound ed. A special 'train was also sent forward to convey the passengers to this city, who arrived here at about 2. o'clock P. M.— The mails were brought here from the other side of the river, by order of the Postmaster, without delay. The train for Baltimore will necessarily be detained here for some hours. No blame what ever can be attached to any of the railroad offi cials—the cow being on the track, the train could not be stopped in time to avoid the acci dent. FIRE. —The alarm of fire about 3 o'clock yes terday morning, was occasioned by the burning of a Couple of old stables, formerly used by Mr. Neafer, in connection with his bone-boiling es tablishment, about midway between the canal and Paxton creek, opposite the Car Manufacto ry. The fire bells of the city struck a general alarm, and the• hose-carriages, engines and hook and-ladder trucks were promptly in mo tion, but before they arrived at the scene of the conflagration the biiildings, owing to the combustible material of which they were com posed, were burned to the ground. Several hogs, and a small quantity of hay, were con sumed with the stables. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. I===l SANFORD'S OPERA. TROUPE took their departure this morning for Lewisburg, Union county, where they perform this evening. On Tuesday evening they perform at Williamsport, and from thence they go to Elmira, after which they will retrace their steps by way of Potts ville, Reading, Lebanon, and return here on the 23d of December, where they will remain .dur ing the holidays. The success of the troupe in this city has been unprecedented in the annals of Ethiopian minstrelcy and ;Sanford has out- Barnumed Barnum, carrying off the palm as the prince of Showmen, Sanford has taken root in Harrisburg.
