Ho! FOll THE HOLIDA VS:::
Another business year is drawing to a close
--a year, in all respects, the most eventful
in the history of the country—a year which
has tested the valor and proved the patriotism
of the American people. In obedience to
long established custom, we again proceed
to notice, in fitting terms, the business men
tsho are advertisers in the TELECFRAPH, that
the readers thereof may know where to seek
goods and find bargains suitable for the Holi
days. Before commencing these notices, how
ever, we must first return our own thanks for
the liberal patronage which a discriminating
public has bestowed upon our editorial and
publishing labors. We have endeavored to de
serve this support in the past, and it shall be
ow highest pleasure, in the future, so to con
trol our columns and conduct our business,
as 'to deserve the confidence and support of
the people.
Our Merehands and Manufacturers
DRY GOODS AND CLOTHING
C. L. Bowman, corner of Front and Mar
ket street, has his usual well selected stook of
ladies' dress goods, cloths, cassimeres, mus
lins, &c. In addition, he aLso keeps a fine
selection of trimmings, all of which he is pre
pared to sell very low. Mr. Bowman is add
ing to his stock daily, so that those in need
of the latest styles, will be certain to find
ihem at this establishment.
Cathcart & Bro., No. 14 Market Square,
seem determined, this season, to excel them
selves in the superiority as well as the great
variety of the goods they now have on their
shelves. The stock was purchased with a
view to supply the taste of the people during
the coming holidays, and accommodate all
who desire to enjoy the luxury of making
handsome presents. Aside from the best
fancy goods on the shelves of the Messrs.
Cathcart, they have also a large variety of
substantial fabrics designed expressly for the
people. The ladies will of course patronize
this house very extensively this season.
A. F. Brandt, South-east corner of Walnut
and Second streets, is determined not to be
outdone in his line of dry goods and fancy
trimming for the ladies, as he has certainly
selected and brought to this city a stock of
dress goods equal in quality to any now on
the shelves of our leading merchants. We
will not enumerate the goods comprising this
stock, but leave the reader, after an examina
tion, to decide and select for him or herself.
S. Lewy, corner of Market street and Mar
ket Square, offer a selection of Dry Goods,
from which to make purchases for the holi
days, embracing every variety now in the

woolen goods, from all of which very suitable
presents can be selected. Our friends will not
fail to give this lady a call.
The Philadelphia Cloak and Fur store, in
Gross' New Block, Market street, presents a
most attractive appearance at this season.
The stock of furs at this establishment was
selected and purchased early in the fall, so
that sales can be made lower than the same
article purchased for the retail trade a month
since can be sold. Those in want of a good
article of furs, a cloak or mantilla, should at
least give this establishment a call and ex
amine its
.superior stock.
J. Bernhard, corner of Walnut and Sixth
streets, has on his shelves a stock of good and
cheap clothing, which those in want of win
ter garments should not fail to examine. His
prices are certainly astonishingly low, and his
willingness to warrant his goods, is the evi
dence that he is prepared to deal fairly and
liberally with those who give him their pa
tronage.
Sol. Brownold, corner of Second and Mar
ket streets, has a decidedly beautiful and val
uable stock of dry goods on hand, consisting
of ladies' dress goods in all varieties which

The housekeeper can supply all her needs at
this establishment. The firm have laid in an
immense stock of groceries, in the sale of
which they defy competition. Their meats,
fruits, jellies, glass ware, wooden ware, hol
low ware, and in fact their entire stock is
all of the very best production. We need
scarcely add that the public will liberally pa
tronize this most enterprising and deserving
William M. Gray .1; Co. is a new firm in
the grocery line, lately established at Houser
Loohman's stand,Market Square. Oar young
friend Williamhas certainly in store a well se
lected idol* of goods, embracing every vari
ety in his line, which he is determined to sell
as advantageously to his customers as the
AMMO articles can be purchased elsewhere.
Ms stook has the advantage of being free
from "old collections," a fact which will in
duce many persons to purchase largely of this
firm.
Boyer & Kerper, Market Square, have, in a
short time, made for themselves a very fine
reputation in the grocery business. At pre
sent they have on hand a largo stock of gro
ceries, meats, fruits, jellies, .queensware,
wooden ware, glass ware and hollow ware,
which they offer on reasonable terms. The
addition to their stock of groceries for the
holidays, embraces everything necessary to
make the occasion merry with good things.
Our friends must give Boyer & Kerper a call.
John Wise; Third and Walnut streets, has
a well selected stock of fruits and confection
ery on hand, suitable to .the holidays. Mr.
Wise gets his goods delivered in such a man
ner as to enable him always to have a fresh
supply in store, so that those pandering for
the holidays at this establishment will be cer
tain to avoid that great pest of the trade,
"stale goods." Mr. Wise is deserving of all
success in his business.
Samuel Wise & Bro., corner of Second and
Pine streets, have as fine a selection of fruit
and confectionery c can be found anywhere,
and are deserving of a liberal share of patron
age. Messrs. Wise have had great experience
as fruiterers, and have such arrangements with
distant markets, as to keep themselves con
stantly supplied with fruit well preserved and
fruit in season.
WATRCIEES. JEWELRY AND SILVER WARE
A. F. Zimmerman, No. 52 Market street,
has now in his cases, ready for the inspection
of the public, a most magnificent collection
of watches, jewelry &c. His collection of
jewelry in setts for ladies wear, is one of the
finest we ever examined, and embraces a va
riety from which the most fastidious taste can
be gratified. The great majority of these setts
are of the latest style, and were purchased by
Mr. Z. expressly to meet the demands of the
holidays. In watches and clocks, his stock
cannot be excelled anywhere, for superiority
of manufacture, beauty of finish, and economy
of price. Mr. Zimmerman will of course
supply his usual customers, and attract a large
share of the transient trade in his line of
business.
George W. McCalla, No. 38 Market street,
offers to his patrons and the public, a stock of
fine jewelry, watches, clocks and silverware,
which cannot be excelled outside of the great
commercial or manufaoturing cities. The
jewelry in his stock was purchased solely with
a view of selling a fine and genuine article,
while the watchei are from the best American
and European manufacturers. Those in search
of a really splendid article of jewelry to serve
as a present, or those in want of a substantial
article in silver or gold, for personal use, need
only give McCalla a call to be supplied.
Brady, No. 62 Market street, is determined
not to be outvied in his peculiar branch of
business, and we must cordially confess that
he has a stock of goods of the most valuable,
beautiful and costly furnished description.
Some of his - specimens of jewelry are really
gems of mechanical skill. His watches and
clocks are of the best manufacture, and his
selections of fancy articles, silver ware, canes,
&c., are enough to make us doubt the pres
sure of the times, and whether we are not
really the most prosperous people in the
world, Our friends will not forgei Brady
about the time they start to purchase their
holiday presents.
C. A. Boas, Market Square, has added
largely to his already large stock of well se
lected jewelry, watches, clocks and silver
ware, and is now prepared to accommo
date all wants and defy all competition in his
line. His jewelry was purchased under his
own immediate examination, and his clocks
and watches selected with a regard to their
superiority as well as their price. We have
every confidence in Boas—his reputation is
high—and his deservings great. He will not
be forgotten during the holidays.
Jacob Tausig, 1051 Market street, has a
large stock of varieties, notions and jewelry,
from which suitable piesents for the holidays
can be selected, %nd which he is resolved to
sell very cheap. It is worth the reader's time
to give Mr. Tausig a call.

STEREOSCOPES, PRINTS, PHOTOGRAPHS, ttC.
Knoche, No. 63 Market street, has been,
and still is celebrated for his success as a
dealer in musical instruments and a teacher
of music. Indeed, Knoche is a musician him
self, of modest pretensions, but of no mean
ability. His stook embraces many rare and
valuable instruments, from which the most
suitable and acceptable presents can be
selected. He also has on hand a valuable
collection of engravings, colored prints, pho

Ward is prepared to furnish frames of every
description, mirrors of all sizes, colored plates,
photographs, elegant lithographs, photograph
albums, sheet music, &c. Ward's experience,
faithfulness and success in business are his
recommendation. With these firmly estab
ished, he does not need fulsome praise . from
DOOMS AND STATIONED",

deals almost exclusively in religious books,
his establishment being a repository for tract
and Sabbath school publications. Mr. G. has
now on hand a splendid collection of bibles,

our friends will find at 27 South Second street
a stock from which they cannot fail to select
somethingpleasing as well as profitable. •

of the support of the people. Our readers
should not fail to give him a call.
FANCY GOODS, DatrGs AND CHESITCALS
Krnium. & Sao., No. 118 Market street,
offer such a variery of fancy goods, that it is
beyond our power to enumerate the stock in
the limited space reserved to us for these
brief notices. They have ornaments of all
kinds, manufactured in unique style from
every material capable of manipulation. They
have leather goods, toilet articles, fancy
goods, in such variety and styles, as to make
a beholder wonder whence the genius and the
taste were derived in their manufacture. Be
sides all this, Kunkel & Bro. have a carefully
selected stock of drugs, perfumery, &c.
Keller, 91 'Market street, confidently as
serts, and we have every reason to believe
him, that he has a stock of goods from which
gifts acceptable and appropriate to all can be
selected. In fancy goods, toilet articles and
perfumery, he certainly cannot be excelled.
An examination of Keller's stock will convince
the public that he is among the most enter
prising of our business men, determined to
win and deserve success by his liberality, in
dustry and fair dealing. It is impossible to
go amiss at Keller's. Everybody can find
something to suit their fancy and please their
taste at this establishment.
W. Gross .sz; Co., 19 Market street, have
made a wide reputation as wholesale dealers
in drugs, chemicals, paints, perfumery and
fancy articles generally in their line. In con
nection with their wholesale, their retail trade
is immense. Their new building affords them
ample room, so that we may 'justly regard
them as one of the most reliable, success
ful and enterprising firms in the State. Gross

well as beautiful articles, suitable for Christ
mas presents, which our friends would do well
to examine.

alley, has now all his arrangements complete
for baking luxuries and substantials of all
kinds. His specimens of fancy baking were
never before equaled and can scarcely now be
excelled in this or any other city, while the
more substantial productions of his ovens are
of the very best quality which superior mate
rial can insure. Ireaddition toßrady's bakery,
he has connected with his establishment a
confectionery, which is supplied with Whit
man's elegant manufactures. Our friends
will not forget Brady.
Jacob F. Haehnlen, corner of Cherry and
River alleys, has now in operation the most
extensive cracker and biscuit
_bakery, outside
of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania.
Few people in Harrisburg understand the ex
tent of the establishment now controlled and
managed by Mr. Haehnlen. His crackers and
biscuits are the most popular now baked any
where, and are extensively used in this por
tion of the State. Hundreds of barrels are
shipped from this bakery to distant parts of
the State, while the local trade of the estab
tablislunent is immense. Of course this trade
will be increased as the people get to under
stand the superiority of this bakery.

and are deserving of a very liberal support at
the hands of the people, as the firm is com
posed of practical masons, well qualified to

finest marble work in the city was executed
by this firm, and we have no doubt they will
continue to be called upon to do such work
as long as they continue to labor.

fair share of patronage in their line of busi

The Hotels of Harrisburg.
Hotel life in America, is becoming as great
a feature of our nationality as is our love of
all that is right and everything that is com
fortable. In the larger cities of the country,
the opulent live, as it were, in the hotels,
having sleeping apartments in distant quar
ters of such cities, while they take their meals
and do their lounging at the hotels. Those
hotels become the centre of fashion, the throng
ed marts of business and the arena of poli
tics, where genius intrigues with craft, where
barter pursues it profits, and where beauty is
wooed by false or true love. But let us not
allow ourselves to indulge in a homily on
hotel life, because we only design to acknowl
edge the good qualities of the leading hotels
in Harrisburg, whose proprietors are adver
tisers in the TELEGRAPH. We will begin down
town, then, with
THE Elsa= STATES Horn, 11 EL Hutchi
son, Proprietor, is universally regarded as one
of the best kept, well ordered and liberally
conducted hotels in the Commonwealth. Mr.
H. has had a long and faithful experience in
the business. He is a landlord of rare good
qualities, well calculated to render any house
popular. The United States has bean thor
oughly refitted, re-furnished almost en
tirely, and is now capable of accommo
dating as many guests as any hotel in the
city. We have a warm feeling, personally,
for Hutchison, but aside from this, justice de:
mends that we should speak well of his house.
It is at once a home anti a hotel, where the
guest wants for nothing, and where comfort
and good cheer are the order of the manage
ment.
THE Josua HousE, under the proprietorship
of Mr. Charles H. Mann, is second to no
hotel in the Commonwealth, both for the
sumptuousness with which it is furnished and
the liberality of its management. Mr. Mann
is truly a man well calculated to keep a hotel,
understanding frilly the art of catering for
the people, with that knowledge in selecting
and controlling servants for a large hotel,
absolutely essential to its success. The
Jones House had a wide reputation before Mr.
Mann assumed its control. He has now ex
tended this, until his hotel ranks among the
first class houses of the country.
Tics Branum Horn has an ancient
replittion—such a reputation as clusters
around good places and old homes, and in
which all good people take an interest. For
many years the Buehler House has been re
garded as the Democratic headquarters, and
While we do not assert that its gentlemanly
proprietor, Mr. George J. Bolton conducts
his hotel on political principles, his house is
still recognized by the Democracy as their
home. Yet men of all parties patronize the
Buehler Rollie: because it is well kept and
liberally managed. Bolton is now the sole
proprietor of this house. He has refurnished
it entirely, and can safely challenge competi
tion with the whole city.
THE STATE CAPITOL HOTEL is now fully pre
pared to accommodate a large number of
guests, the additions lately erected having
been completed, finished and ready for occupa
tion. Mr. Thompson is determined to make his
house among the most popular in the Com
monwealth, and when he has fully completed
all the improvements he contemplates malting,
he will have one of the most eligible and ele
gant hotels in the State. The Stale Capitol
Hotel will be largely patronized, simply be
cause its locality is near the public build
ings, and because, too; itis conducted to the
end of becoming even more popular than it
new is.
TOWN AND COUNTRY.
Tim managers of Canterbury M.nsie Hall
offer a fine bill for this evening's entertain
ment, The Canterbury is doing a flourishing
business.
PROF. SIBBETT, who has been performing
wonders in our city, in restoring hair, goes to
York, where he will remain for a short time.
We trust he may receive a liberal patronage.
JUDGE ABRAHAM S. Wmsow, of Lewistown,
died, yesterday, at an advanced age. Re was
a native of Northumberland county, but had
for quite a long period been a prominent citi
zen of Lewistown.
Aummus WARD notifies the gentleman who
left phosphorus in his bed at the St. Nicholas
Hotel, that, if he will leave his name with
General Dix, he will hear of something to his
advantage.
THEATRICAL.—house's Star troupe is doing
an immense business in Reading. It is in
deed a star company.
Frank Drew is playing in Baltimore. Miss
Fanny B. Price is also in Baltimore.
Gana up—The price of newspapers. The
penny sheets have nearly all stopped their
losing game, and advanced to two cents a
copy. The Philadelphia Ledgar and Baltimore
Sun are among the latter.
Snow commenced falling early this morn
ing, and continued watt a late hour in the
afternoon. There is every indication that
there will be fine sleighing on Christmas—to
the delight of those who own, or are able to
hire horses and sleighs.
STIPPLMIENT .—ln order to accommodate the
pressure of advertisements upon our columns,
we have been compelled to issue a supple
ment with to-day's paper. It contains a large
quantity of interesting reading matter in ad
dition to several columns of advertisements,
to whioh the attention of our readers is di
meted.
Mss. C. G. RUSSELL, the charming vocalist,
pianist and composer, Franklin and Smith, of
the original Continental Vocalists, and Pro
fessor G. H. Brooks, violinist and pianist, on
Wednesday eve, December 21st, in combina
tion with the distinguished dwarfs, Commodore
Foote and Sister and Colonel Small.
The troupe will remain here until the be
ginning of next week. Performances will be
given every evening; also family matinees on
Thursday, Saturday and Monday afternoons,
at three o'clock. No doubt the hall will be
filled at each exhibition, as it is worth the
price of admission to hear the old Continen
tals, to say nothing of the Lilliputians and the
famous vocalist, Mrs. Russell (formerly Miss
Effinger.)
CHRISTMAS DINNER" TO THE SOLDIERS
than" CunTIN.—A Christmas dinner Will be
tendered the soldiers' at Camp Curtin, on
Saturday afternoon. . Persons who desire•to
contribute can leave their donations with any
member of the committee, viz: Mrs. Small,
Mrs. Zollinger or Mrs. liepple. Those wile
do not wish to contribute eatables can donate
money, which will be faithfully applied to the
object named. All articles should be sent in
by eleven o'clock, L. M. of Saturday--not later.
We trust that the people of Harrisburg
and the surrounding neighborhood will con
tribute liberally of their abundance, and give
our brave soldiers a substantizd evidence that
they are not forgotten, and Unit their services
in behalf of the country are fully appieciated.
Let them feel that although far from home,
they are among friends. There is scarcely a
family in moderate circumstances, that will
not have a Christmas dinner. Each of these
can spare something to add to the supply for
the soldiers' dinner. Every farmer can con
tribute, as all have enough and to spare.
I=l
SEASONABLE ADVICE. —Christmas is near at
hand. Our wealthy citizens, and those in
moderate circumstances, are making prepa
rations for fine dinners, and purchasing suit
able articles for presents to their friends.
This is right—but while thus engaged our
friends should not forget that there is in our
midst another class—the poor—who cannot
indulge in extra dinners nor an interchange
of presents. We have in our city the wives
and children of brave soldiers who are in the
army; we have soldiers' widows and soldiers'
orphans, whose protectors fill honored graves;
we have other widows and orphans, besides
whole families who are in destitute circum
stances. Many of them have not sufficient
food, clothing or fuel to render them com
fortable. Would it not be well for those who
have an abundance to visit the peror on Christ-
MaS, and contrieute something to relieve their
necessities? Let there be joy among the poor
as well as among the rich, upon the coming
anniversary of the birth of One whose bles
sings were bestowed upon the needy and suf
fering during His pilgrimage upon earth.
IT will be remembered that on Friday Xsi
we noticed the detention of the Northern Cen
tral train from the north by running off the
track, near this city. The following particu
lars are obtained from a statement of Special
Agent Bow. He says that when the train was
some nine miles north of this city, the switch
at the engine-house was turned the wrong
way when the mail train came dashing along,
and, although the engine was reversed, the
train could not be stopped until it ran into
the locomotives in the engine-house. The
express car crushed through and into the mail
room, in which Mr. Row happened to be at
the time. He was so completely impaled with
broken timbers, boards, and iron, that only
after the partition,-boxes, and table had been
torn away, (to do which the use of an ax was
necessary,) was he released from his horrible
position. The hot stove set the mail apart
ment on fire, and threatened the destruction
of the car. The mails were all saved. Mr.
J. W. H2ffman, route agent, jumped out of
the door, and got off safely, with the excep
tion of the wrenching of an ankle.
SERIOUS RAILROAD Acoromrr.—An accident
resulting in the loss of one life and the injur
ing of several persons, occurred on the North
ern Central Railroad, on Monday morning.—
It appears that two freight trains left Parkton
on time, some twelve minutes apart, and just
as the first reached the Blue Mount Switch it
was ascertained that the rear car had become
detaghed. The conductor stopped his train
and ran back for the purpose of running the
car into the switch, in order to avoid a col
lision with the coming train. This he suc
ceeded in accomplishing, but the train ,came
on him before he had time to close the switch,
and the engine and some half dozen freight
cars ran into it, smashing ffie car that had
just been run in, and making a complete
wreck. James Reed, the conductor of the
second train, was instantly killed, and the
fireman and several of the brakesmen were
more or less injured. The body of Mr. Reed
was taken to Baltimore in the Harrisburg ac
commodation train, as were also the injured
men. The train was detained several hours,
and finally exchanged passengers with the up
train. A. large force of workmen were quickly
on hand to.remove-the•debris -from the track,
and everything was cleared away by the time
the afternoon train passed. The accident was
one of that nature unavoidable on all rail
ways, which no forethought' could well have.
prevented. - The — niircirttmitte - conductor who
lost his life was.an unmarried man, and a resi
dent of Baltimere; - where he was much re
-
opeeted. •

On sus 300,000 Moan.—Manliness means
the doings and the bearings that become a
man without regard either to pain or recom
pense. The curse of our modern life is the
idolatry of the comfortable. We are not vi
cious; we are not vigorous enough for vice;
but we like to wrap ourselves up in selfish N g
siness. We delight to read of the brave dy
ing with their feet to the foe, while our feet
are pleasantly planted on the hearth rug,—
We are not bad fellows, but we are monstrous
cowards. We grudge trouble, but we are lav
ished with money. We are most admirable
persons by proxy, most religious, most charl-..
table, most patriotic, most philanthropic by
proxy; that is, by putting our names down
for large sums on subscription lists, as if it
were not the direct, the living contact of man
with man, which alone can accomplish the
great objects of charity, patriotism and phi
lanthropy. Before going too far, permit me to
direct your attention to A. F. Brandt's, new
cheap store, southwest corner of Walnut and
