WE learn that a movement is on foot to
bold a sanitary fair in this city, at an early
(lay.
AN interesting exhibition was given at Mrs.
Dixon's Seminary, last evening, by tha
pils or the institution.
1:=3=111
TFIERE was no apparent change in the pri
ces of marketing this niorning. One thing
is certain—the figures were high enough in
every instance.
THE alarm of fire, last evening, was caused
by the burning of a small building in Tan
ner's Alley. The flames were extinguished
before the engines arrived.
THE Commissioners of Northumberland
county have decided to erect a new court
house. The borough of Sunbury is to pay
55,000 towards defraying the expenses.
THE Good Will Rose Company of Carlisle
intends holding a holiday fair, commencing
on the 24th inst., and continuing until the
2d of January—for the purpose of raising
means to liquidate the debt of the company.
THERE was not a pleasant countenance to
be seen at market, this morning. How could
there be, when the mud was ankle deep,
over-running shoe-tops, &to. ? The Square
does not present an inviting appearance just
now.
ECLIPSES.—Next year there will be four
eclipses—two of the sun and two of the moon.
The eclipses of the sun occur on the 25th of
April and the 15th. of October; those of the
moon on the Ilth of April and the 3d of Oc
tober.
A MEAN COUNTEBYEIT.-A rascally counter
feit has just made its appearance. It is a gen
uine one dollar note on the Farmers' Bank of
Lancaster altered to a ten, through the medi
um of paste and scissors. Somebody will be
cheated by them.
=I
BAP= Critraoa.—There will be service in
the Baptist Church, corner of Second and Pine
streets, to-morrow morning at 104' o'clock and
at 7in the evening. The pulpit will be filled
by Rev. Mr. Curtis, of Lewisburg, Pa. The
public are invited to attend.
THE person who took, in mistake, an um
brella labelled on tag inside with name of
owner, " Mrs. Kerr's," from Mrs. Dixon's
school exhibition, last evening, will please re
turn the same accordingly. An umbrella with
owner's name inside, awaits call at same place.
FIRE at Mmmrrows.—,i frame house be
longing to Messrs. McCrary, of Middletown,
and occupied by two families, named Copeland
and Medler, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday
afternoon. The occupants lost all there furni
ture, and are left in destitute circumstances.
tEE I ROBBERS!-To-night Schiller's great ro
mantic 'tragedy called Tan ROBBERS, or The
Parricide's Doom, will be performed at Rouse's
Theatre. This thrilling play will attract a
large audience. Mr. J. B. Roberts, the trage
dian, will appear. This is the last night of
the present engagement of Mr. Roberts. The
entire Star Combination company will appear
in this piece.
TEE Gun AND 800.--The Sunbury papers
state that Adjutant Clapp, late of the Provost
Marshal's office in this city, was out on a
sporting excursion, and gives the following as
the result: Two days' shooting--fifty-eight
partridges bagged; one day's fishing—eleven
pike or pickerel captured, one of which mea
sured 224 inches in length.
I=l
A fIatEL9BVEG SOLD= SEMI' wma.s. ARREST-
Stio DESEBTERS.—Just before going to press
,ve learn that James Irvin, of Co. E, 201st
P E E. Vole., was mortally wounded, while at
tempting to arrest deserters, at or near Scran
ton. His body will be sent home, to this city,
where• his family resides, We have been una
ble to obtain any further particulars of the
sad affair, in time for to-day's paper. ' •
AN can 'MANCE has been passed in Philadel
phia, prohibiting the merchants from placing
goods of coy description, or boxes of the
pavements, or extending signs across the
same. The pavements are not to be occupied
in any manner, by anything belonging to a
place of buismess. The merchants grumble,
but the people generally are rejoicing. The
ordinance went into effect several days ago.
Such an ordinance is needed in Harrisburg.
MERIT RzooomzEn.--Last week Sergeant
Jacob Cart received from the Secretary of
War a beautiful testimonial of the gallantry
displayed by him in the capture of a rebel
flag at the first Fredericksburg battle. The
medal is made of bronze, nearly the shape of
a star, and is suspended from an eagle's
mouth. On the reverse side is an inscription
giving the date of the exploit with the state
ment of its recognition by Oongress.—Carlisle
Herald
A LAUDABLE UNDERTAKING. —We are pleased
to find that a project is on foot to purchase
and forward to each company of the 201st
Regiment a barrel of saner kraut. The money
is to be raised by subscription and placed in
the hands of Mr. Anthony King for disburse
ment All persons wishing to donate money
or cabbage, can do so by leaving it at Mr.
King's hardware store, corner Third and
Market streets, or present it to the subscrip
tion agents, who will call upon them. Mr.
King will give any further information that
may be desired.
SHOOTING AFFBAT AT UNIONTOWN, PA.- 7 -A
Bebe/ Knocked Doton by a Sheriff—The. Officer
Shot by the Minion of Jeff. Davis. —On Friday
of last week a man named Dr. Sheppard, hail
ing from Fairmount, Virginia,
who has been
stopping in Uniontown for a short time, went
into McClelland's grocery store, where Sheriff
Eli Cope and a number of other gentlemen
were conversing, and being a blatant seces
sionist, began to give vent to his treasonable
sentiments, at the same time shouting for
Jeff. Davis. Sheriff Cope, who is Assistant
Provost Marshal, endeavored to quiet Shep
pard, chiding him at the same time for his re
bellious expressions, whereupon he became
more boisterous than ever. Mr. Cope finding
it impossible to calm the rebel, struck him a
blow, felling him to the floor. Sheppard drew
a revolver and fired twice, the first ball strik
ing Mr. Cope in the right breast, inflicting a
slight flesh wound, and the second entering
the thigh, prodgcjag ass ugly wound.
g - Poitinuos IN itfla titlii.'=Ortr sportsmen,
the crack shots of the city, are haling a good
time among the birds. The feathery . tribes
are pursued with as much ardor as are the re
bels, and bag after bag of the choicest game
are daily brought into the city. • A few days
since a party of four left the city, for a few
hours' shooting. His honor, Maydr Rouinfort,
was one of the party, and from what we heard
of the result of the hunt, the Mayor beat the
entire crowd handsomely, shooting more birds
than any two of his companions. We have'
always understood that the Mayor was a good
shot, but in these days of "sharp shooters,"
we imagined that men of his age were a little
short in their sight. It seems, however,:that
the old hunters are as good, if not better than
men less in years and better in sight.
I=l
HORSE Tatar SHOT.—The following, from
the Chambersbnrg Repository, gives an ac
count of the manner in which rebel thieves
are to be treated in Franklin county. The
time is past for permitting rebels to run at
large and plunder loyal people. Let Union
bullets teach those thieves a wholesome lesson,
and put an end to their plundering operations.
The Repository says:
On Friday week a horse belonging to Mr.
Martin Heintzelman was stolen from the
hitching-post at Wingert's store in Fayette
ville. Suspicion attached to John Myers,
who was in town that evening, and the sus
picions were confirmed when Myers and his
brother William--both residing in the South
Mountain—were in Hagerstown the next
morning, and the stolen horse was sold by
William. On Friday last the two brothers re
turned to Fayetteville, both riding and armed,
and when confronted by Mr. Heintzelman
they asked two days to prove their innocence,
and propoied to leave their horses there until
they did so; but soon after they were seen
trying to get out their horses to getaway, and
when the citizens showed a determination to
arrest them, they ran across the fields towards
Mr. John Crawford's. Captain Funk got four
armed men and pursued them. He soon 'over
took them nearly a mile from town, and
caught William ; but John refused to stop
when called upon to do so, and he was shot,
the ball. entering his back under the left
shoulder and passing through the lungs and
out at the•right breast. He was carried back to
Fayetteville, where he now lies in a very criti
cal condition, and his brother William is in
prison awaiting his trial. The people of the
county are about prepared to save our courts
the trouble of disposing of horse-thieves. They
are either rebels or in collusion with rebels,
and their villainous work will be arrested
only when they learn that they must face
bullets.
A CARD.
OFFICE SUBSISTENCE DEPABTAIENT, t
Camp Curtin, Dec. 3, 1864.
Editor Telegraph :—My attention has been
called to an article in your last issue, entitled
"The Reception of Returning Volunteers."
Your informant is in error when he states that
"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." This Department is prepared
to cook rations, and has been accustomed
to issue cooked rations to all soldiers desiring
them. On the arrival in camp of the 76th
regiment, P. V., preparations were imme
diately made to cook rations for them, but be
fore they could be cooked, I was informed the
soldiers had left the camp for the city. That
they were not fed here is not the fault of this
Department. Please make this correction.—
Yours, &c., J. A. KNOWLES,
Commissary of Subsistence.
A Card.
PAY OFFICE, Hamassuao, Dec, 2, 1864.
lisaossa:—ln the TZLEGBAPIL of this
evening, in an article headed "The reception
of returning volunteers," your "local" makes
the assertion that regiments are frequently
mustered out days before they are paid off,
implying that the delay is in the Pay Depart
ment.
Such is not the case. Since I have been in
charge of this office, now nearly ten months,
no regiment has been delayed as much as a
day in payment.
As regards the 76th—the case in point—
although the regiment arrived heron Friday.
the 25th, the rolls did not reach this of ee
until 3P.x. on the 30th. Before , 3 P. M. On
Dec. 1, every man belonging to it had been
paid.
Will you please make the correction. Fiat
justitia. Yours, truly,
W. M. WILEY, Paymaster.
BUSINESS ITEMS.
THE HARMONIC SOCIETY has resumed active
operations for the season. At the large and
pleasant meeting last Monday evening it was
fully organized. D. A. Kepner, Esq., was
elected President, vice F. A. Awl, (absent,) and
Prof. Page was elected I3onductor. The next
meeting will be held 2uesday evening, Dec.
6th, in the usual place. t
AT THE JONES HOUSE FORA FEW DAYS ONLY.
—Prof. Sibbet, of the city of New, York,
would inform the citizens of Harrisburg, that
he has opened reception rooms at the Jones
House for a few days, where he can be con
sulted for - all disases of the scalp and hair,
and all other diseased conditions of the body
which either directly or indirectly affect the
growth of the hair. Many persons, when their
hair becomes thin and diseased, and prema
turely gray, resort to that compound known
as lac sulphur and sugar of lead, to restore its
color and promote its health. Others again
resort to alcohol and castor oil as a tonic for
the hair. Tne result is, that in the end, the
hair is not only not improved, but often abso
lutely injured by such treatment. The only
sure method of restoring the hair is to give
back to the glands of the scalp that vigor
which is always absent when the hair rap
idly falls off and becomes thin and diseased.
Examinations free.
The most reliable references given. I can
be consulted from 9 to 12, and from 2 to 9
P. M.
We would add to the above that our ex
changes fully endorse the Professor's method
of restoring the hair •

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 door mats,
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.

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

of speaking very frequently, and in places
where the vocal-organs are very much taxed,,
I have found the need of some gentle expo'
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
ses. Yours, he.,
IRO. WALKER JACKSON,
Pastor of the Locust St. Methodist Church.
To C. A. BenrivAwr—Dear Sir : Having used
your Troches, I am free to say they are the
