TEE PRESTOENT OF. THE 1111.DDLETOWN BANS
CANED.—The other day George Smaller, Esq.,
President of the Middletown Bank, was the
recipient of a beatiful cane, which bears the
following inscription: "Lookout Mountain.
George F. Mish to George &Miller." The
cane was manufactured from a hickory sprout
which grew on Lookout Mountain.
IT la said that a Yankee has invented a
machine for extricating the lies from quack
advertisements. Some of them are never
seen after entering the machine, as only the
truth comes out. It would be an excellent in
vention to apply to our copperhead cotempo
raries. But precious little of them would be
left after passing through.
.THE mild weather of the past week or two
was brought to a sudden termination yester
day, and was succeeded by a north wind
which was exceedingly unpleasant to those
who were compelled to "lace tire music."
Overcoats and furs were in demand. An ex
tra quantity of coal was necessary to render
rooms and shoos comfortable. Ice was formed
upon all the ponds and pools, and the mud in
the streets was converted into a solid mass.
Goon-a 7, SIILLIV.III.- Our good friend, Sul
livan S. Child, who has for more than a year
occupied a place in our counting room for the
transaction of the business of collecting mili
tary claims, pensions, Murales, &c., has re
moved to an office in Walnut, a few doors
South of Third street. After an association
with Sullivan of more than a year, we now
part with him with sincere regret, • trusting
that his prosperity in his new place of busi
ness may increase. He is a clever, faithful,
competent and reliable man, to whom. we
eheerfally recommend our friends having busi
ness ha his line.

Tim NEW POSTAL CIIRSENCY.—The Pitts
burg Ghroiticie says: We saw to-day a speci
men of the new fractional currency now being
issued by the Treasury Department. It was
a fifty cent note, about twice as large as those
of that denomination now current. We must
confess we don't like it much. Part of the
engraving is very poorly executed. The vig
nette of the Goddess of Liberty ditto. The
paper is rather coarse'and stringy. On the
whole, if this be a fair specimen of the new
issue, it does not reflect much credit upon
Treasury designing or machinery. New and
enlarged currency wallets will now be in
order.
OFFICKES OF VIZ GRAND LODGE.—The fol
lowing named officers were elected by the

Sivrsnr..m—TheMinor° American of yes
terday says:
.A man, named Wm. F. Hawley, of Pitts
ton, Luzern county, Pennsylvania, yesterday
afternoon reached Camden Station from
Washington city and met a smooth-faced
sharper who persuaded him to accompany
him as far as Second street. where, after a lit
tle negotiation, he palmed off on gawley, a
bogus check on the Commercial and Farmers'
Bank of this city, signed by Wm. B. King, in
favor of Chas. Y. Funkhauser & Co, for
$3,000 Treasury notes, and obtained from
him $5O in genuine notes. After making the
exchange, the sharper vanished through a
restauoutt opposite Tripolett's alley, and
reached Exchange Place. Hawley made corn.
Stlaint,_to_.p.oliceman.Hurke, who conducted
hint to Capt. Mitchell, but ail efforts to cap
ture the swindler were ineffectual— :The $5O
was all that Hawley had with Wit.

EDITOR TELEGRAPii--Dear Sinter a hard.
frost, and a chilly night, the sun is shining
in splendor, this morning, vivifying and
brightening every object around camp.
A trio, of typos from Washington, formerly
employees of the TELEGRAPH office—Messrs.
John Pager, Jr., Thomas Forster and James
Culp—pai i our camp a visit yesterday, to see
their Harrisburg friends, and were honored
by a serenade froth PrOfessOr A. flalk.& COti
of our regimental' band.' - '
The following promotions were made in the
regiment:
Acting Quartermaster, Lieutenant B. B.
Stimmel, Company H, has been promoted to
the responsible position fif Regimental
Quartermaster.
Second: Lieutenant I . l r. C. Daily, Company
promoted to First Lieutenant, vice B. B.
Stimmel, promoted.
First Sergeant Joseph L. Jack, Company
H, to be promoted to be Second Lieutenant of
said company, vice Daily proinoted.
Rev. Itakestraw occupied the pulpit of
Washington Street M. E. Church, yesterday
evening. and held forth to a large audience--
many of them soldiers of the 201st and other
regiments. The sermon was appropriate and
interesting—short and to the point—based on
words contained in the 35th chapter of Isaiah,
Bth and 9th verses. Rev. Bishop was also
also present, and in'the pulpit.
A. highly respectable and - well known citizen
of Harrisburg, G— 0--, Esq., has written
to our clever Quartermaster, that he had pur
chased a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner,-; and
while in the act of ,catching: the bird to carry
him to the guillotine, for the purpose of killing
him, the bird made use of his wings; and our
friend, in order to save his Thanksgiving roast,
grabbed him, (very naturally) by the tail !
The gobbler's rear ornament gave way—
pulled clean out by the roots—and away sailed
the bob-tailed roast, out of sight and out of
danger! Frank G— says: book out for
the skedaddler down there, and if you see
him, catch the bird and use him for a Christ
mas dinner!" The turkey-loving portion of
the regiment are on the qui vine—pickets are
posted daily, and a sharp-look-out is kept up'
—but the men say that, although they see a
great many turkey-buzzards, daily, their visions,
thus far, have not been blessed with a sight of
friend G—'s bob-tailed Thanksgiving turkey!
There is at present a military court-martial
convened here, by order of General Slough.
The following gentlemen and officers compose
the Court:
Lieutenant Colonel J. Wesley Awl, 201st
regiment P. V., President; First Lieutenant
Samuel B. Urich, 202 d regiment P. V.; First
Lieutenant" Jacob B. Brown, 202 d regiment
P. V.; Second Lieutenant Stephen 0. Mc-
Curdy, 202 d regiment P. V.; Second Lieuten
ant Benjamin F. Boyer, 202 d regiment P. V.;
Second Lieutenant Philip Slander, 202 d regi
ment P. V.; Captain G. Washington Fenn,
201st regiment P. V., Judge Advocate.
The court is trying a number of important
oases.
It affords us pleasure to find, in two or
three instances already mentioned, our es
teemed Harrisburg friends occupying the im
portant positions of President and Judge Ad
vocate. Lieut., Col. Awl is a gentleman of
education, talent and refinement—well versed
in military tactics, a gentleman and soldier
alike, unassuming in his manners, courteous
in his deportment, enjoying the confidence
and esteem of all the men in the regimenL
Hence his fitness for the responsible and
honorable position he so worthily occu
pies and satisfactorily fills. The commaltd
ing officer could not have found a man more
competent for the office than Col. A.
Capt. G. Washington Fenn, the Judge Ad
vocate, we are proud to say, is a brother typo,
and well known in Harrisburg. Be is a useful
and energetic officer—he, alone, having the
entire mangement of the business of the
court. All those who are in any way acquaint
ed with the nature of courts martial, know
that the Judge Advocate is the responsible
man, and how well and satisfactorily Captain
Fenn has discharged the duties devolving
upon him, may be inferred from the fact of
this being his second detail as such—the first
having been "in the field," at Manassas Junc
tion. Captain F. has so thoroughly organized
and systematized the business turned over to
him, that he is now able to dispose of from
fifteen to twenty oases per day. He is a most
promising young officer, and deserving of
higher honors.
There is a praiseworthy and highly benefi
cent institution in successful operation, known
as the U. S. Christian Sanitary Commission,
located corner of Fairfax and Prince streets.
The rooms are open day and night, and afford
a retreat for the soldier, where he can enjoy
himself to his heart's content. The stanch
abused and friendleSs defender of his country's
flag is welcome to spend auhour here in writ
ing to his friends. A sheet of paper andpen,
ink, &c., is famished him gratuitously. On
the top of the blank sheet, in the left hand
corner, is a dove, or carrier-pigeon,
with a
letter attached to its neck, carrying the wel
come missive to the far-off home of the sol
dier. In the centre, as a heading, the words:
"V. S. Christian Commission
Sends ,this as the soldier's messenger to his
home. Let it hasten to those who
wait for tidings '
Behold! uow is the accepted time; behold!
now is the day of salvation.' , •
Reading matter, of a highly interesting
description, is constantly distributed among
the soldiers. For this part of the workings of
the Commission, $6O per month are expended
and about $5O for stationery furnished the
soldier. A large and well selected library is
also connected with the establishment, and
from the following paragraph, copied from An
interesting parephlet, your readers may form
an idea as to whet description of reading mat
ter is furnished the soldier by the Conimis-
Edon:
"Send no trash. Soldiers deserve the best.
A library is a valuable hygipnid.:appliance.
For the able-bodied, good'Apriblications, are
mental and spiritual food. For convgescente,
lively, interesting books, the - monthlies, the
pictorials, works of art, science and literature,
as well as those of moral and spiritual culture,
such as you would put into the hands of a
brother recovering."
The management of the Commission is so
arranged that the gentlemen in charge are
transferred to other departments every six
weeks, I believe. Thee gentlemen at present
ofliciattng are:
Rev.` O. C. Thompson, Agent, Detroit Mich
igan; 0. 0. Thompson,- Jr. ' Assistant Agent,
Detroit, Michigan; Rev. Wm. F. Russel, del
egate, Memphis, Michigan; Rev. A. L. Pratt,

Ali good and suitable etores are welccimed,
and all necessary freight and charges paid on
them by the Commission, and are distributed
by delegates--of the Christian Commission
generally.
Send money, by all means, if possible. To
invest money in articles to send is unwise.
Send clothing, berries, fruit, vegetables, food,
.etc., beverages and stimulants. The. *ell=
disposed, humane and liberal-minded people
of our common country are sending daily
contributions for the sick and wounded lying
in our Government hospitals. Those of the
good citizens of the North who have hitherto
been remiss, will please give this their atten
tion, and send something to cheer the brave
and wounded soldier, far away from friends
and kindred, with the assurance that "those
who cast their bread upon the waters will find
it many days thereafter." •
Our friends of the 201st are in excellent
spirits. No new cases of sickness; and very
few men at present in tile hospitals. -
The green-back man tas not yet madehis
appearance. He'd better come soon, for the
boys are getting clamorous. One of my mess
mates thinks that paymasters, like angels
visits, are few and far between ! is pretty
near right. More anon'. A. H. B.
Tar. crowds attending Rouse's Theatre are
not in the least diminished. Night after
night the hall is filled, and the audiences are
composed of persons who are competent to
judge of the merits of the various perform
ers. All unite in the decision that Rouse's is
the best company that ever appeared in Har
risburg. Great care is taken to.have the va
rious parts of the plays assigned to the proper
parties, thus rendering the entertainments
doubly attractive and interesting. To-night
Mr. James B. Roberts makes his fifteenth ap
pearance, and positively the last but one
during engagement, as he goes to Balti
more on Monday. The attractive play, enti
tled THE DUKE'S MOTTO, is on the bills for
this evening, on which occasion every mem
ber of the company will appear. Go and see
it. You will not regret a visit to Brant's
Hall. Secure your seats at Bannvart's drug
store early; in order to avoid the rush at the
hall.
BUSINESS ITEMS.
AT THE JONES HOUSE—Owing to the large
ly increased demand for his Hair Restorative,
Professor Sibbet will remain in Harrisburg
until Wednesday noon of next week. En
gagements in Pittsburg will prevent him,
from staying longer. The Professor warrants
every case that he undertakes. Persons who
have used all the Hair Restoratives of the
day without avail will do well to throw aricle
their prejudices and give him a call. The
Professor claims that with his method of
treating thii scalp ' failure is impossible.
Call and see him at once and have explained
to your entire satisfaction, why it is that the
hair becomes in so many oases thin and dis
eased, and prematurely gray, and then obtain
if you choose a Restorative that will remove
all the causes of these sad results, and clothe
your head with that beautiful covering which
nature designed it to have viz: goad hair., 2t.

Henamageo, Feb. Bth, 1864.
C.A. BANevAor—Dear 11:M.913 used Brown's
Bronchial Troches, Wistar's Lozenges, and
other preparations for hoarseness and throat
troubles, and, in comparisen 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,

value of Bannyart's Troches.
W. 0. CATTELL,

ELAIMIS.VI7II6, Jan., 1861
To C. A. 13assrAar—Degr 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
ses. Yours, ac.,,
JNO. WALKER JACKSON,
Pastor of the Locust St. Methodist Church.
To 0. A. 13a.mivairr—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 to all persons afflicted
with sore throat or huskiness of voice, arising
from public speaking or singing.
