paiip (ititgrapo. HARRIS R Friday Afternoon, June 27,1862. IN 'Town.—The Merida of. Capt. Wm. E. Sew, of Lbe 'fauioui Pennsylvania Eleventh will regret to learn that he is at present lying at his residence in this pity, suffering by severe illness. 1=1:1==1 TRZ Coturry COMMISSIONERS advertise a lot of old_lriber . o , the wrecks of Swatara bridges, lately swept away by the flood, together with a lot of old iron. Sale to take place on Tues day, the Ist of July next. IT wAs Christian Mumma, and not Isaac, in whose fsmily, n-siding near Middletown, three children lately died of scarlet fever, noticed in last evening's Telegraph. We have since learned that another one of his children has died, and that he is also lying very low of the same di sease. ...--.... 4/,,-...... ADVANCE IN TOBACCO AND CIGARS —lt is stated that the tariff and tax bills have already caused a material anvance in the prices of tobacco and cigaiip among the wholesale dealers in Washington. Tobacco which was last week selling at forty cents per pound now cowman is sixty cents, and some trands of cigars have advanced from three dollars to five dollars per thorteand. .....1M.,.. DECORATIONS.-The individuals who have charge of the hall of the House of Representa tives, imbued with a commendable spirit of patriotism, as well as good taste, have relieved the sombre appearance which that chamber usually wears during the recess, by decorating various parts of the Speaker's platform with red, white and blue colored gauze and silk rib bons, ti gether with a number of small Ameri can flags, the whole forming a very pretty com bination, and adding much to the appearance of things generally. &TRIAL MEETING or THE CITY COUNCIL.— Vdo Menage of the Mayon—The City Council held a meeting last night to consider a message from the Mayor, returning to that body, with his a jections, an " Ordinance in relation to public Sewers." The ground taken by the Mayor in his objections is, that the passage of the afore said ordinance will add additional expenses to the government of the city. The Council, how ever, seemed to take a different view of the matter, and passed the ordinance notwith standing the veto, The ordinance will be found in the advertising columns of this evening's Telegraph. --.0.- Seaman's—TheNapoioen of Ethopian Op ra Managers—will open out in bis Opera House in this city to-morrow night, with a sterling troupe, including the old Harrisburg favorite, Harry Lehr, formerly of Kunkle's Serenaders, whose ludicrous style of - acting needs only to be seen to be appreciated. Besides Hairy, there are a number of other first class perform ers, mostly new faces, who shine in the upper gallaxy of ethiopion stars. These attractions, with the full brass band, will create a sensation, and make things lively at the Opera House to morrow night. Otra Stoic AND Wotan:no Bowtres.— An in telligent cotemporary makes a suggestion in reference to a mode of raising a collection in aid of our sk and wounded soldiers, which strikes us as feasible, and worthy of trial In this city. It suggests that boxes .be placed at the P. at Offices, Hotels,Saloons and other places about wen, into which contributions be de posited, to Iv given to a committee of ladies and genth men for the purchase of such arti cles as they think will be needed the most by our soldiers. If any one can think of a better plan to raise money we should be pleased to hear from them. Let us do something on In dependence Day, to let them know that, al though on that day we rejoiced, we were not unmindful of the brave men who languish in our hospitals. Harrisburg has already done much for the soldiers. Let us continue in the good work. Tea CROPS in this region promise to be abun dant and superior. From what we can learn, the grain crops will be immense. Wheat never looked better, at this season, and the corn in the ground certainly never. presented a more promising appearance than at .present ; there are promises of an excellent harvest through out the North and West, and the yield will be as abundant as that of last year, if storms and drouths do not interpose. From the Gulf States we learn that the`wheat fields are pretty generally blighted. This appears to be the case in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and the probability is that the Cotton States, So far from having abundant crops of grain this year, are likely enough to be ravaged by a fam ine, more or less severe, according to the prox imity of places to the rebel camps. As the Border States will hardly be able to supply their own wants, an immense demand for pro duce from the Northwest must spring up every where in the South, as the tide of war recedes towards the Gulf. AFFAIRS AT THB "UPPER END: —OIU country Cousins at the upper end of this county expect to have a lively time on the approaching Anni versary of American Independence. A grand demonstration is to come off at Gratztown, and we learn by the Lykens Journal that times will also be " numerous" in that picturesque vil lage on the occasion. The United American Mechanics of the latter place will have a parade, and severalof the Sunday Schools have plc nice. gibe Odd Fellows, propose an excursion to GratZtOWD, and an effort is making to have a display of fireworks in the evening. The Lykens Journal also gives us the follow ing additional items of intelligence respecting akin in that neighborhood The contractors oa the Buehlerton tunnel will commence work early next month. Part of their tools, &c., are already here. The water has at length been got out of the Lykens Valley Company's Slopes. The large extent of fell in crops to tuese mines makes every heavy storm of rain, a Betio= and expen sive matter. We understand that Mr. Thomas will make a handsome advance in the wages of the miners and laborers of this region, the Brat of next month. Acctrrso THE INVITATION.—Tbe members of the Mount Vernon nook and Ladder company have accepted the invitation of the First City Zonaves to participate in the 4th of July cele bration. Tae Commrrral of arrangements of the First City Zouaves will meet at their armory this eve ning at a quarter of seven precisely. All fire companies who have not reported upon the in vitation received to parade with the company on the 4th, will please hand in their reports this evening at that hour. By order of the committee. ........4......... THE FORTY-SIXTH PRIINIBYLVANIA —The Forty Sixth Pennsylvania Regiment under the com mand of our gallant townsman, Col Joseph F. Knipe is now at Front Royal. Its officers and men are in good health and spirits and eager for a fight with the enemy. We predict that it will distinguish itself as much, if not more than before. &mous Acomarr.—Mrs. Swarger, a lady of about seventy-seven years of age, residing on Front street, above Mulberry, met with an ac dent this forenoon which may result in her death. In the attempt to burn some caterpiller webs off a tree in her yard, her clothes caught fire and were mostly burnt on her body. Her cries attracted the attention of some of her neighbors, who ran to her rescue and succeeded in extinguishing the flames, not, however until the old lady was so badly burned that life is despaired of. PEITESYLiANIANO REIXAMD.—Among the prirC oners released by the Rebels upon parole, re cently in the Shenandoah Valley, were the fol lowing : Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania.—Jacob Barr, Co. G, James W. Kelly, Co. E. Forty-sixth Pennsylvania.—Jacob Myers, Co. C, Patrick Golden, Co. K, Thomas M. Lines bough, Co. H, Lester Stone, Co. G, Edward Bradshaw, C. G, D. S. Pifer, Co. K. Twenty-ninth Pennsylvania.—J. D. Rea, Co. 0, Theodore D. Bow, Co. I, Samuel W. Gay lord, Co. H, Robert G. Wilson, Co. D. One-hundred-and-tenth Pennsylvania.—A. J. Henderson, Co. B, Martin Wirtz, Co. A, James Hicks, Co. D, Dison Ramsey, C. B. THAT "Conrasmon."—Our readers will recol lect the "contraband," who was confined with the rebel prisoners at Camp Curtin near this city last week. It seems that his former was ter was among the additional squad of prison ers that arrived here last Wednesday, and that when the cars which conveyed the rebels to Philadelphia en route to Fort Delaware, ar rived at Washington street, in that city, the "contraband" proceded to whip him in true artistic style. He gave as a reason that his master had been flogging him for ten years and that now it was his turn. He was allowed to have his own way till the owner was well nigh exhausted when he was removed and left with some companions of his own color, while the coward Tiger was shipped for Fort Dela- ware. We learned, also, that an indignant female offered to thrash any one of the prison ers who desired it at her hands in revenge for the death of her son. EXTRAORDINARY AND PAINFUL MISTAKB.—The night of the 3d of June, says the Lewistown Thus Democrat, will be remembered as having been pitch dark, with rain Selling in torrents. That night the Express train east brought Mrs. Vaoormer and daughter, (the latter an invalid aged about eighteen years,) on their way from one of the western counties to visit friends in Juniata county. When the train stopped at Lewistown station, about midnight, Mrs. V. inquired of the conductor how soon she would reach Patterson, as she &sired to stop at that point. The reply was, " The next time the cars stop will be at Patterson, and as we are behind time I would like you to get out as quickly as possible, after :hey stop. I will at tend to your baggage, madam." On the train sped, but when only five miles below this place, in the very depth of the long Narrows, the whistle sounded and the train stopped. Mrs. V. and daughter, agreeable to directions, got off "as quickly as possible," and had bcarcely done so, when they, as well ae a pas senger who had kindly assisted them out, die, covered that this was not Patterson ; but the discovery was too late, for in another second the train was off. Few can imagine, and it were impossible to describe, the feelings of the two ladies at this juncture. Mrs. V. knew she was in the middle of the Long Narrows.— Throw all the darkness and rain she could see the river below her on one side, the steep and cragged mountain on the other, and nothing but a double track railroad under her feet—not even room enough on either side to avoid a train if one should come along. The daughter, an invalid, screamed with terror, and was with difficulty pacified by the mother. After vainly trying to find a shelter, it was determined to walk to Patterson, though neither party knew how far off that place might be. At this moment a light was discovered, and believing it to be the front of an approach ing train, new fears burst upon the already horror stricken ladies. Another effort was made to get outside the track, but no room was found upon either side. It was then de termined, as the only alternative, not knowing upon which of the tracks the train might come, to stand as nearly as possible between the two. But fortunately no train come ; but instead the light proved to be in the hands of a watchman. The ladies called, and he came. The nearest house was two miles off—that of Robert Shaw, three miles below this place. After an exhaust ing walk along the railroad, this house was reached, and the ladies there received every at tendon that kindness could dictate. Next day they were taken to Patterson, and thence they reached their destination in safety, but they will never forget the fearful adventures of the night of the 3d of Jane. Whether anybody is to blame in this affair, we are not prepared to say. The conductor when he advised Mrs. V. to get out " the next time the train -stops," of course had no idea that he would be obliged to stop ,this side of Patterson, and when be did stop, the thought that the ladies might get out in such a place probably did not once occur to him. But why the gentleman who assisted the ladies off, and knew they had made a miatake, did not imme diately inform the conductor of the fact, is a mystery to us. iltuneploania 111etilt)- elegrapk irthat, 'Afternoon, June 27, 1962 A SPECIAL meeting of the Paxton Hose com pany will be held at their room this evening, (Friday,) for the purpose of participating in the parade on the Fourth of July.

A Slur VELVET HANOVAOTORT IN CHESTER CO. —Few of our citizens are aware, says the Record, that we have had in Chester county, an estab lishment at which the finest silk velvet is man ufactured, of every style and pattern. A spe cimen of the goods was exhibited at the Horti cultural Exhibition in West Chester last week. They rival the best imported articles, and are made at prices which command the market.— The factory is on the Valley Creek, four or five miles north-west of West Chester, known as "Baldwin's Factory." Mr. John Brooke is the propaletor. He sells his goods in New York, where we have no doubt they are resold to Philadelphia and . thence to Chester county.— Mr Brooke is a practical workman, And has es tablished among us one of the best velvet foto ries in America. Somz memos things will be elicited by the present rebellion. The Indiana Arnerieen says that one day last week, the pat'ents and friends of a young man in East Wheatfield township, Indiana county, were startled at the reception f a letter from a eon who had been absent for some four years and upwards, during which time the parents had entirely lost sight of the whereabouts of their son, and did not know whether he was living. The letter, however, gave the information of his whereabouts. He was then lying in Harrisburg, a prisoner, cap tured by Gen. Fremont's men in Virginia. He says he enlisted in a Louisiana regiment, to avoid being drafted, and wishes his friends to secure his discharge. He also says that with him are quite a number of young meo who have went from the north and are now in a similar situation. He is the son of Patrick Smith. DISINIWTLINGAGENTS.--AS the warm weath er approaches, our citizens should thoroughly cleanse their premises, rendering them as pure and healthy as possible. There are a number of disenfectling agents which will be found effi cacious in removing offensive smells from the damp, mould cellars, yards, pools of stagnant water, deeaying vegetable matter, etc. Either of the following will answer the purpose, while they cost but a trifle. 1. One pint of the liquor of chloride of zinc, in one pailful of water and one pound of chlo ride of lime in another. pailful of water. This is, perhaps, the most effective of anything that can be used, and when thrown upon decaying vegetable matter of any description, will arse tually destroy all offensive odors. 2. Thr4r four pounds of sulphate of iron, (copperas) .dissolved in a pailful of water, will in many cases be sufficient to remove all offensive odors. S. Chloride of lime is better to soitter about places, in yards, in damp cellars, and upon heaps of filth. A Mongr, Eararnasnmezr.—Among the many improvements latel3f made in our city, to which we can point with pride as an evidence of prii's perity and as a determination on the part of our business men, no longer . to remain behind the " light house," is the completion of Eby & Kunkle's large ,brick building at the corner of Market and Fifth streets, which is alike creditable to the owners and ornamental to that part of our city. The building is not only one of the largest, devoted to the grocery businetis, outside of New York, but the stock ch Menges competion.— Without going into detail, we may safely say that the firm keep on hand everything usually kept in a grocery store, (110 ors excepted,) and that they sell at very small profits. Their clerks are civil and accommodating, and have strict instructions under no circumstances what ever to misrepresent or take advantage of any customer. A general invitation is extended to the public to visit the new building and exam ine the extensive stock, whether they purchase or not. Cot. Wm. F. Sjwn.—We had the pleasure yesterday of taking by the hand Col. Wm. F. Small. The Colonel was wounded in the leg, (we think at Winchester,) and has suffered severely for the last six weeks, but is now slow ly recovering, and expects to be at the head of his command soon. He has our best wishes, and in speaking of Col. Wm. F. Shiall, we as . sociate his military services in Mexico, his gal lant bearing at Baltimore, and his qualities as a soldier and gentleman—while the humble dry goods firm of llrich & Bowman continue to sell cheap at the south east corner of Front and Market streets. $5OOO Domins worm op NEN GOODS —4OO pair of mitts direct from auction, at 26, 37, 50, 62 and 75 cts.; 1000 Ladies' white collars, at 10, 20, 30, up to 76 cts.
