FATHER AND SON DROWNED. —The Venango
,‘ , pectator says that on Saturday morning last
a German, named Blessinger, and his son,
were drowned in the river, a few miles below
Franklin, by the sinking of a ferry boat, which
had been plying between the shore and an
island
PRINTING OFFICE FOR SA_LE.—SpeCial atten
tion is directed to the advertisement offering
a Republican newspaper office for sale. The
location is a good one, and the establishment
is doing a profitable business. A bargain may
be had, as the office will be disposed of on
easy terms.
Ituntunxistvt.—A correspondent of the Ger
mantown Telegraph recommends the applica
tion of kerosene oil to the parts affected by
rheumatism, as an effectual remedy for this
painful complaint. As this oil is entirely in
nocuous, there can be no danger in giving it
a trial.
INTERNAL REVENUE. —Under this heading
an important notice is published in our col
umns, by Daniel Kendig, Assessor of this
Congressional District. It is a matter in
which every tax-payer is interested. Appeals
will be held from the 10th to the 15th of De
cember. See advertisement.
FOURTEENTH JUDICIAL DlSTElOT.—Governo r
Curtin has appointed John Kennedy Ewing/
son of ex-Judge Nathaniel Ewing, to fill the

sey, in the Fourteenth Judicial District, com

REMEMBER THE POOR. —The winter is upon
us, and owing to the enhanced price of fuel,
living, &c., it promises to be a severe one on
the poor. Under these circumstances, the
good and generous among us should be up
and stirring, so as to alleviate as much as
possible the sufferings of the friendless and
destitute during the coming season.
A ' , raw army corps is to be organized, to
consist of soldiers who have served at least
two years, and have been honorably dis
charged from the service. The corps will
contain 20,000 men. A special bounty of
$3OO will be paid each man, and they will be
allowed to retain their arms as their own at
the end of the term of service, which will be only
one year. Here is a fine opportunity for the old
soldiers. Maj. Gen. Hancock is to be com
mander of the new corps.
POCKET PICKED. —John B. Dale, of Ship
pensburg or vicinity, had his pocket picked
at our depot, yesterday. He arrived in-the
Cumberland Valley train, and missed his port
mount& shortly afterwards. He supposes it
was stolen by some one in the crowd which
surrounded the platform when the train ar
rived. Mr. Dale's loss consisted of about $BO
in bank bills, a $lOO U. S. bond, and a num
ber of minor articles. It is useless to ask
why the pickpockets are permitted to operate
in our midst, as they are too shrewd to be
caught in the act of robbing.
HORRIBLE Aconosbrr.—A serious accident
occurred in the Shenango Iron Works, New
Castle, on Saturday morning last. A boy
named John Giles, of East New Castle, em
ployed about the rolls, was sitting down on a
piece of timber, near what are called the
"little rolls," when one of the long bars of
red hot iron, in coming through, struck the
guide, which sharpened the point of it and
caused it to turn back, in the direction: of the
boy. Before he could escape, the red hot bar
pierced his leg, going through just above the
knee, inflicting a serious and very painful
wound. It is believed, however, that with
proper treatment he will recover.

Tan appearance of Mr. James B. Roberts
in our midst has created a great sensation
among play-goers. His personation of Hamlet,
last night, was witnessed by a crowded house,
and all who were present pronounce Mr. R. the
greatest tragedian that has ever visited Har
risburg. To-night he will appear as lago in
the great Shakspearian tragedy entitled Othello.
The entire Combination Troupe is cast in the
piece—Mr. Meeker, the popular actor, ap
pearing as Othello, Mr. Rouse as Roderigo, Mr.
Crossen as Cassio, Miss Nellie Sprague as
Desdemonia, &c. Owing to the great length
of the great tragedy, no after-piece will be
performed this evening. Reserved seats may
be secured at Bannvart's Drug Store, during
the day. t,
A LESSON IN ETIQUEITE.—Our readers who
are in the habit of attending the theatre and
other places of amusement, must have often
been annoyed by a habit common to all audi
ences of rushing pall mell from the house
before the close of the performance. ' The
practice is not confined to Harrisburg, as
we perceive by an incident which occurred in
Boston the other night. Miss Heron was re
cently playing a piece of her own there, and
the audience jumping up to leave just before
the curtain fell, the lady, who deemed herself
entitled to more respectful attention, stepped
up to the foot lights and indignantly protested
against the conduct in something like the fol
lowing language: "The respectable part of the
audience will remain and witness my poor ef
forts; the rest of the audience may go I" It
is well to add that this deserved reprimand
proved salutary, for a complete conversion
was experienced, and the entire audience re
sumed their seats until the Curtain fell.*
FATAL ACCLDENT.—John . Wolfersberger, of
Hummelstown, was run over by the cars, at
the Harrisburg drove yards, about eleven
o'clock this morning. It is said that he was
puichasing some hogs, and was standing on
the track when a train came almig. He was
instantly killed.

AN OLD PRINTER IN LITHOGRAPH. —lll our
peregrinations to-day, our attention was at
tracted, while passing Feet's Daguerrean
rooms, on Third street, by the Lithograph of
an old typo, long since retired from the pro
fession, and now among the foremost of our
reliable and successful merchants. We refer
to Videntine Hummel. The manner in which
Beet has photographed the ex-typo, is at once
admirable so far as the art is concerned, and
most life-like in its faithful delineation of the
features of his subject. The honest face, de
void of all guile, of our old friend and crafts
man, is stamped upon paper, with its linea
ments glowing as it were with life; and before
we were conscious of what we were doing, we'
had almost tipped our beaver to what really
appeared like the face of the living man.—
Truly the triumphs of art are becoming won
derful.
HOUSEHOLD KNOWLEDGE. —Windows are
kept free from ice by painting the glass
with a brush or sponge. Odors from boil
ing ham, dabbage, er,c., are prevented •by
throwing red pepper pods or a few pieces of
charcoal into the pot. A cement, which is a
good protection against weather, water, and
fire to a certain extent, is made by mixing a
gallon of water with two gallons of brine;
then stir in two and a half pounds of brown
sugar, and three pounds of common salt.
Put it on with a brush, like paint. Put .po
tatoes of equal size into water while boiling;
when done, pour off the water, scatter in
some salt, cover the pot with a coarse cloth,
and return it to the fire for five minutes, when
they are ready for the table. Even watery
potatoes are thus made mealy. Common cut
nails are easily driven into hard wood if rub
bed with a little soap; saliva is better than
nothing for that purpose. The best way to
cook potatoes is to bake or roast them in' an
oven; when done, crack the skins open and
allow them to dry out for a few minutes be
fore placing them on the table. To avoid
family quarrels, let the quarrelling wretch
have it all to himself—reply never a word.
Tribute of Respect.
At a stated meeting of the Friendship Fire
Company, No. 1, held at their hall on Novem
ber 28, 1864, the following preamble and res
olutions were unanimously adopted:
WEtEIIEAS, Almighty God, in His inscrutable
wisdom, has laid the heavy hand of death
upon one of our most promising members, in
the person of. Thomas D. Thompson, who
died from the effects of wounds received
while in the discharge of his duty as a mem
ber of Company G, 55th regiment P. V. V.,
thus adding another name to the long, sad
list of heroes who have fallen in the ranks of
the Army of the James, while battling for the
preservation of the Union and the flag of our
country; and
WHEREAS, In view of this heart-rending
calamity, we, the members of the Friendship
Fire Company, No. 1, deem it necessary to ex
press publicly our heart-felt sorrow; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That in the person of our deceased
brother, we have seen one whose disinterested
patriotism is worthy of example, and who has
shed his blood and freely given his life in de
fence of the land he loved.
Resolved, That we tender our sincere con
dolence to his relatives in their affliction, and
that we believe that he is enjoying that re
pose and rest which belongs to those who have
well and faithfully done their duty.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
lug be published in the daily papers of this
city, a copy thereof be sent to the family of
the deceased, and Company G, 55th regiment;
and also that the Engine house and apparatus
be draped in mourning for the space of thirty
days. WM. RUDY, )

0, but the weather is getting cold,
I can scarcely draw my breath;
If I don't get furs with my silver and gold,
I will surely be frozen to death.
I must buy some nubias and hoods,
As thick as a feather bed;
Some plain and embroidered woollen goods
To cover my shoulders and head.
Good gloves for the hands, and veils for my
face,
And the best bonnet trimmings about;
So I'll go to Mayer's—yes, that's the place,
For they say he is bound to sell out.
He has ladies' cloaks and bonnets and hats,
And breakfasting capes and veils,
And knit woollen hoods, as thick as doormats,
And then he makes very cheap sales.
If you want perfumery, rich and rare,
Or handkerchiefs, tidy and neat,
Or under garments of linen to wear;
Go to Mayer's on Market street.
Between River alley and Front,
The sign hangs over the door;
Go to Mayer's, because, if you don't,
You'll rue it a thousand times o'er.

Dr i RAND'S SPECIFIC is exhibited in the
form of pills, made up entirely of substances
that have a specific effect upon the generative
organs. Most persons associate the idea of
operations upon the bowels from taking any
kind of pills. The Srxorsxc of Dr. Rand is
not intended as an evacuating medicine. Its
medicinal virtues are expended entirely upon
the impaired regenerative organs. The pills
are not unpleasant to the taste, and many
persons masticate them with impunity bofore

ways recommend, as affording the speediest
way to get the effect of the remedy.

, Feb. Bth, 1864.
C.A. BAmlvAirr—Dear Sir: I have used Brown's
Bronchial Troches, Wistar's Lozenges, and
other preparations for hoarseness and throat
troubles, and, in comparison with them all,
Can cheerfully commend your own as a most
admirable specific for public speakers and
singers, in cases of hoarseness, coughs and
colds. I have found them serving in time of
need, most effectually.
Yours truly, T. H. ROBINSON,
Pastor of N. S. Presbyterian Church.
I agree with Mr. Robinson as to the
value of Bannvart's Troches.
W. C. CATTELL,
Late Pastor of 0. S. Presbyterian Church.
HARRISBURG, Jan.., 1864.
To C. A. Ronvveirr----Dear Sir: In the habit
of speaking very frequently, and in places
where the vocal organs are very much taxed,
I have found the need of some gentle expec
torant, and that want has been supplied in
your excellent Troches.
I consider them very far superior to any
Lozenges that I have ever used, in removing
speedily that huskiness of the voice arising
from its too frequent use, and impairing the
effectiveness of the delivery of public addres
see. Yours, &c.,•
JNO. WALKER JACKSON,
Pastor of the Locust St. Methodist Church.

To C. A. liesxvsnr—Deor bir : Having used
your Trochei, I am free to say they are the
best I have ever tried, and take great pleasure
in recommending them to all persons afflicted
with sore throat or huskiness of voice, arising
from public speaking or singing.
