The whole number of federal' killed and

The City Finances._
EDITOR or Tittsoaartt:—Uoder the above
caption there appears an Article in your paper
or yesterday evening, signed John A., Fisher, in
which, speaking of the annual statement by
common council of the finances of the city he
says : "I noticed, to my great surprise, an item
of credit for expenditures, by council of paper
books and Attorney's fees, J. A. Fisher $189."
In his comment on this great surprise, he says:
"This is a gross mistake, if not a wilful error
and intended misrepregentation, as I never re
ceived that nor any other sum of money for the
items mentioned from the city tteasury, nor
for any other account during the years 1861-62.
Mayor Kepner, out of his' own private funds,
paid me in 1861, in the suit of the city of Harris
burg vs. the hi tyor, the monies paid by me to
the printers of paper books, also for profession
al services rendered !or him in the above case
in the Court of Common Pleas and in the Sup
reme Court."
At a meeting of the Common Council on the
7th day of Bsptember, 1861, there was present
ed, with others, a paper, of which the follow
ing is a true copy : _
Bead Wm. H. Miller, Esq., for writ of

and at Paid meeting of council on the 7th day
of September, 1801, an order on the treasurer
was granted, of which the following is a trite
copy:
No 207 Council Chamber, Sept. 7th,
1861, $139 00
Treasurer of the city of Harrisburg.
Pay to the order of Wm. H. Kepner, one
hundred and thirty-nine dollars for paper book
and council fee to J. A. Fisher, end the same

By order of the council,
Attest. D. W. GROSS, Pres.
Dann H&unia, Clerk.
This order is endorsed Wm. H. Kepner, and
was paid by the treasurer on the 12th day of Sep
tember, and is now cancelled and on file
among the papers of the city.
This is the evidence on which the "annual
statement' by the council is founded, and if
Mr. Fisher or any other person can make it a
"gross mistake," he certainly would have
better luck, than he had in framing the city
charter. FDiAliel COMIUME.

BILLY PAI3I3RD.—The following additional bills
have been signed by the Governor' since the
adjournment of the Legislature:
April - 9th —An act to repeal so much of the
13th section . of an act, entitled "A supplement
to the act consolidating the city of Philadel
phia," passed April 21st, 1862, as relates to the
widening of Fifth street, northward of York
street, in said city.
May 6 , 1.—A supplement to the act incorpo
rating the Pennsylvania coal company.
An act authorizing proceedings against , the
Pennsylvania coal company, and the Delaware
and Hudson canal company.
homyEtaars.—The large three-story brick
building at the corner of Fifth and Market
streets, belonging to Messrs. Eby & Kunkle, is
now under roof, and rapidly approaching com
pletion. Mr. Kunkle, of the , ahoy, firm, is,
also about erecting a handsome dwelling house
on the site of the small two-stery brick build
ing, owned by him in Market street; adjoining
the property, of Mr. Cyrus J. Reese. We-also
observe workmen engaged tearing out the front:
of the three-story brick building owned by
Mrs. Denning, a short distance above Messrs.
Eby and Kunkle's new building, witlithe view
of replacing it with one of ton. We presume
this change is made for the purpose of•convert
ing the lower part of , the building to mercan
tile purpose& These improvements will add
considerable to the fine appearance of that
busy neighborhood. •
rruE HILITAM GIOTIUS OF THE Noarn.-Since
the outbreak of this war, the military genius
of the North has shown itself in a thouiand'
different ways,. In, a moment we transformed
ourselves from a great army of laborers into a
great army of soldiers. Officers stepped out of
the ranks of our trades and professions, and a
railroad snperinturidnot bezel:go our.Coni madd
ing general, As the war progressed the inven
tive genius of the country became military, and
hundreds and thousands of inventions, from
patent army trunks to new kinds of artillery,
have added to the comforts and efficiency of our
soldiery.. On the sea the same process is evi
dent, and our Monitor has revolutionized all
naval warfare. Ia fact, every . class of the peo
ple has become military, and the military
genius of the country has infused itself into
almost every department of literature, trade,
commerce, manufacture and art.
Too LAZY TO Mouart.—We live heard of very
lazy people. Men too lazy to shell corn when
presented to them by charitable neighbors to
keep them from starving. Men "too lazy to
draw their last breath," consequently never
"kicked off the mortal coil." But the laziest
man we ever heard of resides In Albany. Here
le an item from an Albany paper :
"A well known milliner, on Washinsiton ave
nue, has gone off witliv a man not her husband.
It appears that she ; carried on a good business,
and made considerable money. Her husband
would, not wdrk at all, simply because his wife
was making a good living for herself and him
too. But the wife was not to be bamboossled
into any euoh arrangement as that. He was
well able to work, and had plenty to do, if ; he
would only do it, but he wouldn't. So the
other evening she wrote him a note that she
had found a man who would support her. Off
she went, and her husband, it is said, is so indo4
lent that he won't even mourn her loss. Very
lazy man, that."
A WORD IN Si.asoN.—A cotemporary very
pertinently wonders what those young men do,
who may be seen strolling through the streets
until the midnight hour. In commenting up.
on the subject, he says: "No doubt after im
bibing sundry glasses of lager, etc., they feel
refrained for any 'game' chance may throw in!.
their way ; and tieing at the time when allyer 7
sons of propriety,are wrapped in, their slumbers,
they can carry en their machinations with
bolder front. Would it not be better for these
young 'sparks' if they wpuld stay at home and
improve their minds? Perhaps, however, they
consider themselves 'Lamed snuff for their eta
shun.' "
These remarks apply with the same force, to .
many of ova ydung men. Not content with '
stultifying themselves with intoxicating drinks,
many of them spend their evenings, aye, and
the "small hours," too, at places where they
can learn no good. Let them take the advice
of our cotemporary, make men of themselves,
insteadof deatroying their health, character;
and future prospects in return for that which.
they falsely call pleasure. There are many of
our yoring'men yrbo,.woeid be bettered by fol d
Aowing thin advice ; let them attend to it..

Saturday Morning, May 10, ISO
SEWING MACISCEEEE.—We direct the attention
of our readers to the advertisement, in another
column, of Grover & Baker's Sewing Machines.
We have bad one of the machines made by
this firm in family use for the past two years,
and cto truly recommend it as one of the best
inventions of the age. It adapts itself to almost
every variety of sewing, and the evenness, beau
ty and durability of the stitch is worthy of all
praise
POOR WHISTLING.—"Speaking of bores," says
a victim of one of the species, "I can scarcely
imagine one capable of inflicting more misery
than an intolerable whistler. I can stand a fife,
when all. the -nation is armed and equipped on
training day, and the dram, with its ‘flang,
flans,' serve to drown its.screame ; but to lis
ten to a poor air badly murdered by a poorer
pucker's I : irlifer in some easier, if ,not quicker
way. I always think of the French stagecoach
driver, who being very much annoyed by such a
bore, turned upon him: "Mine frien, vat for
you all de times vissel ? You loss your leetle
dog, eh ?" -
EARLY WALKING!—Walking, for young and
active people is by far the best exercise ; rid
ing is good for the elderly, the middle-aged
and invalids. The abuse of these exercises
consists It taking them when the system is ex
hausted more or less by previous fasting or by
mental labor. Some persons injudiciously at.
tempt a long walk before breakfast, under the
belief that it is conducive to health. Others
will get up-early to work three hours at some
abstruce mental toil. The effect -in -both in
stances is the same ; it substracts from the
powers of exertion in the after.part of the day.
A short saunter,-or some light reading before
this meal, is the hest indulgence of the kind,
otherwise the waste occasioned by labor must
be supplied by nourishment, and the breakfast
will necessarily become a heavy meal, and the
whole morning's cornfort sacrificed by a weight
at the chest from imperfect indigestion of food.
These observations apply especially to elderly
persons, who are prone to flatter themselves
into the persuasion that they can use their
mental or bodily powers in age as in youth.

TEE CORRUGATED
METAL PENS ,
AT ADE by C. BIRNARD, are the best Ccm-
II and School Pens, without excep
tion to any. They are used by all the pricipal
Banks and Government Departments, Publics
and Private Schools; also, by the most promi
nent Commercial Houses throughout the United
States and C.nada.
But a short time has elapsed since
C. BARNA.RD'S PENS
have been introduced into the United States,
still a marked preference is given them over
all others for the following reasons : The
" Corrugated Metal" PENS do not corrode ;
they will not spatter or cut through the thinnest
paper ; they have an ea y gliding motion, a
certainty or equally diffusing the ink, Batmen
of point, and great durability.
READ THE OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Brom the National Republican, Washington, 1). C.]
AN ANTI-CORROSIVB Pss.—The universal fault
of metalic pens is their tendency to corrode, so
that the best of them cannot be aced but a
short time. We write this notice with a pen
which is entirely anti-airrosive, and the best
pen we have used for five years. It is known
us Barnard's Corrugated Metallic Pen : made in
London, and which is now for the fuss time
introduced here.
11.0 m the Philadelphia North American, Nay 6-1
We would call the attention of our (*sumer.
cial friends to the "Corrugated Metal" Pens
made by C. Barnard, London, as the best metal
pens brought under our notice. They Ate not
so liable to cOrrole, neither do they 'mit nor
spatter as the ordinary steel pens. To the com
mercial community they will prove quite eco
nomical on account of their anti-corrosive
qualities.
I}ons the Philadelphia Balkan, Nay 5.]
As ExcaLLENT Pas.—We can confidently re
commend the Corrugated Metal Pens made by
C. Barnard, of London, as mold the best metal
pens we have used. They are not so liable to
spatter or corrode, as the ordinary steel pens.
We should judge from our own experience that
they would be an excellent pen for our public
schools, and to all parties to whom economy is
an object, as from their anti-corrosive qualities
they would be, in the end, one of the cheapest
pens in use.
.hom the Washington .Thtellgeneer.]
A NEW Pm .—Mr. Barnard's Anti-Corrosive
Pen, of which we have to-day made trial, is
the beat metallic pen we have ever "taken in
hand." It is as elastic, as a quill, does not
corrode with ink, and glides easily over the
paper.
From the Montreal Gazette.]
CORRUGATED CIRCULAR POINTED PENS.—These
pens, manufactured by C. Barnard, Clorken
well, London, are fortified by a long array of
certificates in their favor, as our readers may
see from our advertising columns, of ample au
thority. They are free from corrosly equalities.
They are certainly very pleasant to write with;
A specimen shown to us runs as smoothly over
the paper as -we could desire.
From the Mordreal Herald.]
MB take pleasure in recommending the pens
made by Mr. C. Barnard, of London,England,
as the very best metallic pens ever used by us.
We would say to our commercial friends—try
them.
