ASSAULT UPON A SOLDIER. —This morning
we saw an old soldier who had just been mus
tered out of service, after serving his country
faithfully during a period of three years.
Both eyes wero black, and his face and nose
cut and scarred. The old veteran was dis
charged and paid off yesterday, and was about
to leave the city on one of the night trains for
the West. When at or near the dopot, he
was siezed by two young men who threw him
upon the railroad track and then rifled his
pockets. Fortunately the ruffians did not
obtain much booty for their villainous as
sault, as the soldier had placed nearly all his
money in the hands of a friend for safe keep
ing. This outrage cost the soldier great Tit
tering, and did not benefit the rowdies who
injured him. It is hoped they may be brought
to justice and punished for their evil doing.

"TICE THEATRE was thronged last evening
with the elite of the city to witness Miss
Fanny B. Price's impersonation of the charac
ter of Fanchon, in which she has achieved a
wide spread reputation. Curiosity was on
tip toe to see how one who had, during the
past week, grasped and mastered, with such
power and dazzling brilliancy, the most tu
multuous passions in the higher walks of
tragedy, could adapt herself to the require
ments of such a character as Fanchon. The
transition, however, was complete, and per
fect—we found her the intellectual, pure
heartetwhild like and lovely cricket. From
the moment she made her entrance till the
close of the performance she enchained and
subdued every heart present with the bright
lustre of her remarkable genius. Her beau
tiful and mobile features assumed every phase
of passion from cloud to sunshine, from storm
to stillness. In her scene with the rabble at
St. Andoche's Festival she rose to the sublime.
The great charm in her acting, however, is
the tender and holy simplicity with which she
envelopes the character. Every man, woman
and child in the city should see Miss Price as
Fanchon."—Evening Journal.
The citizens of Harrisburg will rejoice to
learn that Mr. Rouse has effected an engage
ment with Miss Price, and that she will appear
at Brant's gall in a few weeks. All who wit
nessed her impersonation of Fandlion, during
a former engagement, can vouch for the truth
of the above article from the Evening Journal.

Clump BURNED To Dzkru.--Last evening a
child belonging to a family named Reese, of
this city, was burned to death. It was seated
at a table, and during the temporary absence
of its mother, the little one upset a lamp, the
contents of which took fire, and, communica
ting to the child's clothing, burned it so ter
ribly that when discovered one of its arms
was burned to a crisp. The little 'sufferer
lived but a short time after the accident oc

Tim RECEPTION OF RETURNING VOLUNTEERS.
—Our" attention has again been directed to a
fact to which we have frequently heretofore al
luded, namely, that the arrangements for the
accommodatioy. of returning volunteers, after
having faithfully served their time in the
field, are very deficient at this post. When
a regiment reaches Camp Curtin, the first
deficiency experienced, is a lack sof barracks
accommodation. Regiments leaving the field,
on their way home to be mustered out, aban
don their camp equippage, cooking utensils,
&c., expecting, when they reach the post
where such muster out is to be made, that
arrangements have been made to afford them
at least ordinary quarters and facilities for
cooking rations. But in all this, the return
ing soldier, when he reaches Camp Curtin, is
most wofully disappointed. The Commissary
at that camp is prepared to issue rations in
kind, but the soldier having no facilities to
cook them, must eat them raw or content
himself on an empty stomach. Now, we sub
mit in all candor, whether this is just or hu
mane. Camp urtin should be furnished
with at least ordinary barracks accommoda
tions, where the private soldier could' find
shelter and accommodation to cook his ra
tions. Officers can afford to seek a hotel,
but the men, in seven cases out of ten, can
not do this, and are therefore subject to great
hardships and injustice. Added to this fact,
returning soldiers are frequently if not gen
erally mustered out of service days before
they are paid off. This adds to the burdens
and the injustice suffered by the heroes, be
cause as soon as men are mustered out all
pay and rations stop. Thereafter the men
must support themselves at their own ex
pense.
—Our attention has been called to this state
of affairs by the condition of the men belong
ing to the 76th Regiment P. V., who have
been, or were, lingering at this post for sev
eral days, without accommodation being
afforded them at Camp Curtin, mustered out
of service, while, at the same time, they
have not been paid of; and are thus turned
penniless on the streets of Harrisburg. Many
of these poor fellows 'were wandering hungry
and shelterless through our streets very
lately. They imagine that the State authori
ties are responsible for their suffering. But
such is not the fact. Gov. Curtin, on the
contrary, has been persistent in his efforts to
secure a change in this business, and to inau
gurate a system by which the accommodation
of the returning heroes, at this post, would
be at once complete and just. As it is, His
Excellency is powerless. Won't the War De
partment, if only on the score of humanity,
do something to relieve these evils? It would
cost very little to treat the soldier with decent
fairness, while it is only fair that he should
first be paid off, and then mustered out. The
loosest equity known to justice would seem
to demand this for the men who peril their
lives for the safety of all we hold dear as a
people.

HARRISBURG, Feb. Bth, 1864.
C.A. BennyArr-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 oases of hoarseness, coughs and
colds. I have found them serving in time of
need, most effectually. ,

HatIIISBURG, JIM, 1864.
To C. A. Rune/ear—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, ip removing
speedily that huskiness of the voice arising
from its too frequent use, and impairing the
effectiveness of the delivery of public addres
ses. Yours, Br,c.,
JNO. WALKER JACKSON,.
Pastor of the Locust St. Methodist Church.
To C. A. Rinnvanic—Dear Sir :, Having used
your Troches, I am free to say they are the
best I have ever tried, and take great pleasure
in recommending them fo all persons afflicted
with sore throat or huskiness of voice, arising
from public speaking or singing.
