A STAND OF RBOIKENTAL COLONS was present
ed to the Eighty-fourth Regiment, Pennsylva
nia Volunteers, (Murray's old regiment, and
which has been rendered immortal by his va
lor) on Saturday last, by the ladies of Williams
port. The colors were received by Col. Bow
u►an in a neat speech, and the occasion is de
scribed as having been one of real interest and
gratification to all concerned.
Faaaxs or AN Inseam MAN.—On Sunday after
noon,a man who hasforsome time been regarded
as insane, went into the river a short distance
above Dauphin, to bathe. After cutting up a
number of strange antics in the river, he
finally came out of the water, and proceeded on
his way home without 4 particle of clothing on
his person—leaving Ida clothes lying on the
river bank. The man is well known in that
community as an intelligent, well educated
man, but who has destroyed his reason by the
Inordinate use of intoxicating drinks.
Tam Cant.Aram of New York city are seek
ing investment in the coal fields of Pennsyl
vania, as a surer employment of their means
than any which their own city now presents.
On Thursday last a company consisting of
Moses Taylor, Hy. Chauncey, M. H. Grinnell,
Simeon Draper, Isaac Bell, Isaac Bell, jr., John
Steward, Robert S. Hone, Peter H. Vanendol,
George F. Falmar, John Jacob Astor, Ed. Hen
turn, arrived at Scranton. They expressed
themselves as delighted with the wonderful de
velopement of that region, and the great enter
prise by which it has been built up.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEHRATION.—Tho Truth eran
and cterman Reformed School of Mount Zion
Church pear Lieglestown, held their annual
celebration on Saturday last, and the occasion
was quite a pleasant one. About nine o'clock in
the morning the teachers and scholars, and
their friends, formed in profession and proceeded
to a beautiful grove, about a mile from the
church, where the large and interesting audi
ence were entertained with music and addresses
by Rev. A. Smith of Efunamelstown, Rev. G.
J. Marts of Harrisburg, after which the com
pany sat down to an excellent dinner provided
Or the occasion. The afternoon was pleasantly
spent in recreation and amusement, and at a
suitable hour the whole company returned to
their homes, highly delighted with the festivi
ties of the day.
Roemer. Sronta.—The liberality and the
munificence of the American people, in this
awful crisis, know no bounds. Appeals of all
kinds are promptly answered. If men are
wanted, lt gions at once organizi. If money is
needed, millions are lavishly contributed. And
thus the cause of freedom is sustained by free
men.
One of the features of the crisis, and one
which is an eloquent proof of the ardor and loy
alty of all classes, is the manner in which our
people have contribited to the hospital stores—
for the use of the army. These contributions
exceed all calculation in extent, description of
variety, and estimate of value. In fact, large
quantities of articles are contributed, which, by
the time they arrive at -their destination,
are utterly unfit for use. Of course this is a
loss to the people—because every article that
perishes or Is wasted, is so much deducted from
the resources of the people, so much added to
the burden of the war.
The Express office and the railroad depots in
this city, are overstocked with packages, of
which many may be called perishable goods.
baskets of cooked poultry—bags of ripe fruit,
decaying and actually offensive--cases of veg
etables that can never be used in hospitals—.
all perishing and all actually au expense in
stead of a relief to the department for which
they were designed.
What is necessary for the people at a dis
tance is to consider that the sick and wounded
are not blessed with appetities like epicures,
nor are they capable of devouring the strong
est food like gormands. There are a thousand
comforts fur the sick and the wounded, which
every family is capable, in part of making
up—and when contributions of this kind are
made, the wants of the soldier are of course
satisfied. Let it be understood, then, that
those sending articles for the hospitals at a die
tappe, or thst will require transportation to
reach this pint, must - oe sure not to forward
perishable goods. This will prevent waste,
save the surgeons and nurses in charge much
trouble; and in the end enable the good people
of the country patriotically to aid the sick and
wounded soldiers.
AT HOME SICK.-W® regret to learn that
Lieut. Joshua M. Weistling, of the 127th Penn
sylvania Regiment is at home quite sick. We
lope to record his recovery and return shortly.
He is a good officer, and the regiment is one of
the best in the service.

DEATH OF ANOTHINIL AGED C1T12,121 Or DAUPHIN
COIINTY.—The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Reese,
consort of Mr. George Reese, of Lower Paxton
township, took place on Saturday morning, and
was attended by a large concourse of relatives
and friends. Mrs. Reese was one of the oldest
inhabitants of the community in which she
lived, having reached the advanced age of 77
years and a few days. She was born in this
connty, was distinguished for her habits of in
dustry, honesty and virtue, and was highly es
teemed by all who knew her.
_.,_
Carr. BRADT, company K, Eleventhßegiment
Pennsylvania Reserves, who fell while gallant
ly leading his command, at the battle of South
Mountain, was the first to receive the fire of the
enemy, and the first to fall beneath its wither
ing effects. He was a gallant gentleman—a
nephew of Capt. Brady, the Librarian of the
Senate, who was himself in the neighborhood
when his kinsman fell, but was not apprised of
the fact until after the battle was over and the
gallant hero placed beneath the soil which he
had enriched with his precious blood. Captain
Brady was connected with the editorial frater
ternity, and as the editor of a newspaper in
Brookville, had won some reputation for abil
ity as a writer and courtesy as a journalist.
But it was reserved for him to write his last
essay with his sword, write it in his own blood—
an essay of loyalty and devotion to his coun
try.
7slll DAUPHIN COMITY CAVALRY.—Leg them
Have a Dumper on Beturniv. —We understand
that The Dauphin County Cavalry, commanded by
Captain E. Byers, will return to the city to-day,
after an absence from home of a few days over
a week. The organisation of this corps was
the work of only a few hours, while each man
furnished his own horse, the Government sup
plying just such equipments as were absolutely
nec.ss try in an encounter with an enemy.
Since the cavalry hag been in service, the
duty discharged was of the most important
character. Immediately on their arrival at
Chambersburg, they were placed in the advance,
and from Chambersburg to Hagerstown, thence
to Williamsport, they were constantly on scout
ing duty, ranging over a country at once, dan
gerous and rough, and in hourly expectation
of meeting an enemy double their number.
At Williamsport they destroyed bridges and
lumber which, had the some fallen into the
hands of the enemy, the most, important re
sults would have been produced against the
army led by Gen. 111'01014n.
In view of these facts, and In view of the
manner in which the Dauphin County Cavalry
went forth for duty, and the fact, too,
that the company is almost entirely composed
of citizens of Harrisburg, we suggest that a
suitable reception b. 3 given to the men thus
expected home. Capt. Byers has written to us
that his Company will certainly reach this city
in the course of the afternoon. We cannot tell
the hour of its arrival, but still hope that a
proper reception has been prepared for those
brave men when they do arrive.
TSB SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDISEB.—Their Ar
rival and Accommodation in Barriaburg .—Dr. Cuy
ler, Medical Director of the United States Ar
my, arrived in this city yesterday, for the pur
pose of making arrangements and locating hos
pitals for the accommodation of sick and woun
ded soldiers. We understand that the most
complete arrangements have already been made
to this end, and that several of our most
commodious public buildings, churches and
school houses have been secured for this pur
pose; so that the sick and wounded who may
be assigned for care in this locality, will be ac
commodated at once in every essential of hospi
tal comfort and medical attendance.
There are at present 289 patients in the
hospitals at this station. The accommodations
for these are at once ample and complete, while
the contributions of our citizens to the comfort
and the appetite of the sick are of a character
such as will meet the grateful acknowledgments
of both soldiers and surgeons. During the
week, the surgeons in charge of the hospitals
expect one thousand more patients. This num
ber will increase the reepondbility of those in
charge of this service, while it will add ta the
demands on our people tor additional contribu
ticna of every description of hospital Stores.—
the field is thus 'widened for the benevolent.
Let Harrisburg do its duty in this business of
humanity, as it has done its duty in every
other patriotic relation to the war.
A number of the nine months' men are among
those already arrived, while others of the same
levy are among those that are to arrive during
the week.
In addition to the churches and other public
buildings for the use of the wounded, tents are
being erected in Oau p Qurtin for the saute pur

SANFORD'S OPRRA HODSI.-011F city bas never
been so well favored with amusements as at
present. To this the public are indebted to S.S.
Sanford, the enterprising Philadelphia manager.
Knowing the wants of a first class Opera House
in this, the capital of the state, he erected the
place now occupied by himself and his troupe
in which he will have no cause to complain,
for it has proved a ,nceess beyond measure.
Nightly the house is filled not only by stran
gers, but by oar leading families, and the en
tertainment provided by Mr. S. is superior to
any he has yet presented. As comic talent is
the order of the day, and In the performances
at Sanford's Opera House all can have it to
their heart's content.
"HONOR To waou HONOR is Des." —A splen
did sword, belt and sash were received here a
few days ago by Sheriff Boas of our city, from
citizens of Bethlehem, Northampton county, to
be forwarded by the Sheriff to Lieut. Col. Self
ridge, Forty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and presented to him as a token of the esteem
in which he is held by his neighbors and friends,
and of their admiration for his gallant bearing
and heroic services on the battle field in de
fence of his country. The trappings have been
forwarded by the Sheriff, and are no doubt now
in possess on of the worthy recipient.
Col. Selfridge is a citizen of Bethlehem. He
has been with the brave Forty-sixth regiment
under command of our heroic townsman, GA.
Joseph F. Knipe, and has shared in all the dan
gers, and participated in all the glories through
which that ill-fated but gallant body of men
have passed. He was in the hottest of the fight
in every engagement in which the regiment
participated, and while his Colonel has been
thrice wounded, and the men falling all around
him, he has this far passed the fiery ordeal un
scathed, except at the late battle at South
Hountain, Md., where a mimic, ball grazed his
head, and left a welt a fingers length, just
above his ear. He seems, as he himself has
remarked, to wear a charmed life. He partici
pated also, in the 'terrible battle of Sharpsburg,
and came out again unharmed, to share in the
glorious victory that crowned our arms. In this
engagement, the gallantry of the Forty-sixth
saved a battery which was well nigh captured
.y the enemy. The Forty-sixth came np in the
nick of time and drove them back with terrible
slaughter, and suffering terribly themselves.—
The regiment was finally reduced to about fifty
effective men only, and is now joined with the
128th, Col. Selfridge in command as acting colo
nel, Col. Knipe being detailed as acting Briga
dier General of tba brigade. Both these brave
and efficient officers very j natty merit promotion.
Their numerous friends would rejoice to hear of
their being commissioned Brigadiers. "Honor
to whom honor is due."
Wa travz received a large assortment of hoop
skirts, from 75c. up to $2 60. A large assort
ment of linen and needlework collars, and ool
