FATAL ACM:WM—Night before last an Reel
dad occurred near Lmion Place, which re
sulted in the death of a Mr. Huston, a flag-man
on oue of the freight trains on the Pennsylva
nia Railroad. The train was standing near the
st siert, when Mr. dusters had occasion to go
ark to give a signal. As he was crossing the
railroad brio), it Is supposed that he was par
tially blinded or bewildered by a flash of light
ning, and fell through the bridge. His head
struck a rock below, injuring him so severely
that he died in a few minutes afterwards .
MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION - The Mayor has
issued a proclamation, which will be found in
atiother column of this evening' a TELSORAPEI,
recommending to hotel, tavern and restaurant
keepers the prouriety of abstaining from an in
discriminate sale of liquors to day. This
,lea wise precautionary measure on the part of
the Mayor, and richly deserves the hearty
commendation of every order•loving and law
abiding citizen in the community. Heretofore
the festivities incident to public celebrations in
our city have been frequently marred by drun
kenness and violence, disgracing not only
trace who participate in such scenes, but
outing a reproach upon the fair fame of the
city itself. We therefore hope that oar land
lonia, on this occa,iou, will heed the sugges
tiou of the Mayor, and act accordingly.

THK WICNIY SWOND.—Military Parade—Pro
gramme of Arrangements. —We agree with au in
telligent cotetc porary, that to commemorate
the birthday of Washington by every suitable
evidence of temperate joy and congratulation
is a duty every American citizen owes to the
man who was "first in war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen," and at
,this time, more than at any other period in our
country's history, should his noble qualities be
brought into view , that our statesmen and war
riors may emulate his, pure cud patriotic ex
ample. We are, therefore, gratified to learn,
that the military authorities, acid our citizens,
fully appreciate the importance of the occasion,
and that the day will be observed in the Capi
tal city of the good old Keystone State in a'
manner becoming freemen who value the bless
ings of that form of Government over which
Washington was called first to preside.
TRH IILLITARY PARADH
The principal feature of the day will of
course be the grand military dress parade of
the troops from Camp Curtin, amounting alto
gether to about twenty-seven hundred men.—
They will be fully armed and equipped, and
iccompanied by several excellent bands of mu
eitc, the whole under the :command of Col. S.
A. Meredith, acting Brig. General.
• The troops will form at Camp Curtin at nine
o'clock, A. Id, and at half past nine, be review
ed.by Adintant General Russell, and other high
military 'officials. After these ceremonies the
brigade will leave the camp, and proceed over
he following route:
ROUTII OF I'LIIAIOR
Down Ridge road to North street, out North
to Front, down Front to Washington avenue,
out the Avenue to Second, up Second to Wal
nut, out Walnut to Fifth, down Fifth to Mar
ket, up Market to Third, up Third to Locust,
out Locust to Second, up Second to State and
from thence to Camp.
I=
After the parade, Captain Seymour's Com
pany of Artillery will favor our citizens with
a,drill in artillery practice, at Front S . reet, op
posite State street, firing on the occasion a
grand ;national salute of thirty-four guns. "
The novelty of the drill will doubtless at
tract a large number of spectators.
THE FIRST CITY ZOHAVEB
The First City Zouaves, of this city, have con
clwied to participate in the parade, and we
presume will be assigned a proper position in
the brigade.
RING THIS MILLE!
The proper arrangements have been conclud
ed to salute the dawn of the day with a merry
peal from the several bells of the city. This
will form an important feature of the pro
posed festivities, and we are glad it has not
been overlooked.
CLOSING TUN STORES AND PL&CIS OF PUBLIC BUR.-
I=
The public offices, banks, and most of our
manufacturing establishments and stores will
suspend business during the day. The post
office will be open from 7 to 9 o'clock a. M. and
rom 1 tJ 4 o'clock P. M.
UNFURL. THE BUNTING
We suggest to our patriotic citizens the pro
priety of throwing to the breeze that glorious
and triumphant banner—which no rebel or for
eign foe can trail in the dust-the stars and
stripes, and thus further show their undisputed
loyalty and attachment to that Union and Con
stitution which was first promulgated to them
by the immortal Wshington. Let the good old
flag of our fathers wave from every mast-head,
over every street, au i from every private dwell
ing.
Ow of the free heart's only home,
By angel hands to valor 1 - ivett !
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
and all thy hues were born in heaven:
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before us?
With freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And freedom's banner streaming o'er us.
TILE PAZIWLLL ADDRESS IN TI L ORMAN ItEFOItIIED
CHURCH
Our friends of the German Reformed church,
we see by a notice elsewhere, are to honor
the occasion by assembling in their church at
10 o'clock, A. x., and hearing read Washing
ton's Farewell Address. This is an excellent
idea, and we should like to see the example
followed by 'he other churches.
ILLIIMIN ATIO/1
We hear of a number of our citizens who In
tend to illuminate their private residences to
morrow evening. Such an arrangement will
be an appropriate termination to the festivities
of the day, and we hope the example of the
few will be followed by the practice of many.—
Tia sconces for illuminating purposes can be
purchased for a trifle at almost any of our tin
smiths, and these, with the coat of a pound of
candles, is all the expense necessary to be in
curred on the occasion. Even this expense can
be dispensed with, and an equal effect obtained,
by citizens whose dwellings are provided with
gas, if they will throw open the shutters of
their residences and illuminate the gas in their
front rooms. Let us have a general illumina
tion by all means.
If these arrangements are made, and fully
carried out, with favorable weather, we will
have a celebration worthy of the occasion, and
reflecting the highest credit upon our city and
the patriotism of its citizens.
Smitrusitus, on Cams]) BU IL—One of my
eyes has been turned inward from birth and the
sight was rendered useless, and it was very
much disfigured. Dr. Jones made it straight
in half a minute, two months ago; the eye is
perfect in every respect. I formerly resided in
Harrisburg; I now live seven miles from Cham

in this vicinity tried to prevent me from going
to Dr. Jones, hot I had no confidence in them,
neither did Ilieed their denunciations of Dr.

POSTAGE OF THE ROUSE.
The SPEAKER laid before the House the
following communication :
Poor Cmcs,
Herrisburg, Pa., Feb. 21, 1562.
Hon. Johe Rowe, Speaker of the Howe of &pram-
• DILL Rue :—I am in receitit of a resolution
iidopted" by the Honee — cif 'Representatives, re-
questing me to furnish to the House the names
of its members who have received postage
stamps .on the credit of the State, and the
amount thereof, if any, included in the bill or
bills rendered by me to the committee of the
two Houses, and approved by these.
In answer to said resolution, I can only say
that the amount due me for postage and post
age stamps for the mouth of January last, had
been duly settled and paid to me after giving a
full and candid explanation of every item in ,
the bill to the committee.
I left theta fully satisfied, that said biil was
perfectly right and proper, and the bill was
inanim.ously 'reported correct and approved by
the House in the same manner.
Several members of the House procured
stamps on written or personal application and
representations that they would be used in
the House on • such letters on which they did
not desire to place their names ; but the amount
given to these members is small, and the
whole sum, thus expended by the State for
stamps, does not exceed one hundred dollars.
My predecessor in office, has informed me that
this practice has been in existence for years,
and as long as members use these stamps in
their official capacity, there can be nothing
wrong in its practice
The postage bill for the present session for
the month of January is near one thousand
seven hundred dollars less than it was during
the previous year.
' These facts will certainly satisfy your honor
able body that no extravagance exists in the 'use
of the franking privilege.
Hoping that, this answer will be satisfactory,
I am very respeCiftillir yours;
