HARRISBURG, PA
FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30 1861.
TOWN AND COUNTRY
ATTE:Y:ION, VerIRTH WARD!—AII citizens of
the Fourth ward who are enrolled as liable to
draft, are requested to meet in the Hope En
gine House, to morrow evening, (Saturday.)
l it 7 o'clock, for the purpose of correcting the
enrollment lists. This will be the only meet
ing that will be held, so every person interest
ed should be present.

ATITSTION, FIFTH Wimp !—The citizens of
of the Fifth Ward are requested to meet at the
office of Alderman Bowers, Third street, above
North, this (Friday) evening at i o'-
clock, to take action in relation to filling the
quota of the Ward under the late call of the
President. 2t
WANTED. —Two boys to carry daily papers
Apply at this office.
N. T.—Some of our country editors who
know, say that N. T. stands for "No Turkey."
SALES of condemned horses, to take place
at Giesboro', D. C., are advertised in to•day's
paper.
I=l
THE QUOTA. —The qtnita of this Congres
sional district, under the late call for volun
teers, is 4,214.
1=321
ImPor,.rAtar. changes have been made in the
time of the arrival and departure of trains
on the principal railroads.
Sava - DAL of the trains were detained yester
day. The mail train from Philadelphia, on
the Reading road, did not arrive here until
three o'clock. The train from Elmira was
also several hours behind time.
GAY AND Harpr.--The Friendship Fire
Company's Ball will take place on Monday
evening next. We are assured by those hav
ing the management in hand that nothing
will be left undone to make this a most plea
sant affair.
IMPORTANT TO EVERY ONE.—The citizens of
Dauphin county ought now, if they never were
bstore, to be wide awake to the necessity of
correcting the enrollment lists in the various
districts. Much can be done by individual
effort that does not come within the duties of
the Government officers. Let every man give,
notice of persons he knows to have left his
ward, borough or township, and of those who
have recently removed therein.
M. U. LEE, 69 Market street, advertises,
to-day, a large assortment of Gold and Silver
headed canes, in addition to a variety of fine
jewelry, watches and clocks, all of which he
is prepared to dispose of on very reasonable
terms. l3y his fairness and liberality, Lee
has made a splendid business in his line in
this city, and by the same qualities we know
he will continue to deserve the support of the
public.
Tsai Dm-mt.—We were slightly in error yes
terday, in alluding to Capt. Cook's company
being furnished with a dinner, at the Sick
Soldiers' Rest. We should have said Lieut.
Cook. We learn that Captains Reichenbach
and Granger, Rev. Dr. Hay, and others were
present. Speeches were made, and a good
time was had by the - whole party. Want of
space prevents us from giving an extended
account of the pleasant affair.
ilownteN, at the corner of Front and Mar
ket streets, proposes closing up the dry goods
business for the year 1864, by giving great
bargains in the following goods; Furs, shawls,
blankets, ladies' cloth circulars, coats, and
Chesterfield's balmoral and hoop skirts, ladies'
dress goods; cloths, cassimeres and vestings
for men and boys. This is a good chance to
obtain goods less than the regular market
price. Allen's 200 yard spool cotton at 64
.cents a spool; J. & P. Coats' spool cotton at
124 cents a spool; black and colored skirt
braid at 124 cents a piece.
RECORD You DEEDS. —The attention of
parties holding unrecorded Deeds is directed
to the provisions of the Act of Assembly,
which requires that—
" All deeds and conveyances for real estate
in this Commonwealth, shall be recorded in
the office for Recording Deeds in the County
where the lands lie, within six months after the
ex.cution of such deeds and conveyance; and
every such deed and conveyance not recorded
as aforesaid, shall be adjudged FRAUDU
LENT AND VOID against any subsequent
purchaser for a valuable consideration, unless
Finch deeds be recorded before the recording
of the deed or conveyance under which such
subsequent purchaser or mortgage shall
claim."
This is a very important notice, and those
holding unrecorded deeds will see the import
ance of having them recorded without further
delay.
Orr, CITY must be a gay place to live in.—
The Meadville Journal says: _
ANOTHZE murder was committed at Oil City
last Tuesday night. A. M. lit'Fate, of New
Castle, while passing along , the streets, was
assaulted, shot through the head, and had his
throat cut. Robbery was the object of the
deed, as he was known to have a considerable
sum of money about him, and had been show
ing it quite freely during the afternoon.—
Next morning a vigilance committee was or
ganized and two or three suspicious charac
ters have been arrested. It is high time that
something was done to clear the oil country
of these cut throats, as this is the fourth mur
der committed in that vicinity within the last
' month. There is evidently an organized band
of ruffians along the creek, and a man's life
is worth only a charge of powder and a bullet.
A reward of $10,090 is offered for the de
tection of the murderer of BlTate.
THE PENNSYLVANIA IMPERIAL OIL COMPANY
is one of the most substantially organized
Oil corporations now in the market. It has
energetic, competent and reliable business
men managing it, and it is their purpose to
prosecute the development of the vast wealth
of the Company's land promptly and thor
oughly.
It is organized on a certain basis to pay
dividends from the start. Its revenues from
the Oil alone are more than twelve per cent. per
annum on the entire capital; and new wells
are about to be sunk on lease, without cost to
the Company, and one-half the proceeds will
belong to time company.
In addition to the valuable Real Estate
owned by the Company immediately opposite
Oil City, will be put in market at once, re
serving the Oil right, and a revenue of $lOO,OOO
will be derived from that source the first year—
ten per cent. on the entire capital stock.
The Company has 60,000 shares of its own
,cappital in reserve belonging to the stock
holders, and taking it altogether its resources
for certain dividends are not approached by any
other (A 2 stock now in the market at even double
the original cost.—Ohamberiburg Repository.
Oisrniis.—Mr. C. Evy has just received a
very large supply of fresh Oysters, which 'he
is prepared to furnish by the quart or larger
quantities to suit purchasers. These oysters
are the best of the season, and can be had at
his stand, Second street near Mulberry, at the
rate of 60 cents per quart.
Tnn NVE.E.u. or Pna - zza.—The first week of
January, commonly known as the "week of
prayer," will be observed by some of our
churches, in accordance with the recommend
ation of the Evangelical Alliance.
The clergymen of some of the churches in
Philadelphia, have adopted the following as
the programme by which to observe the dif
ferent days of the week of prayer:
On Sunday next sermons will be preached
on the Agency of the Holy Spirit in the pre
sent dispensation.
Monday—Prayer for individuals, nations
and churches.
Tuesday—Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists
and Idisionaries.
Wednesday—For children . of Christian pa
rents, congregations and schools.
Thursday—For Sunday schools, and all ac
tively engaged in Christian work.
Friday—For the abolition of slavery and
cessation of the war.
Saturday—For the Christian Church, for in
creased holiness, activity and harmony among
her members.
Sunday, January B—Sermons on the Visible
Unity of the Church.

Dr. BAND'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 SPECIESIO of Dr. Band 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 before
swallowing them ; which plan we would al

way to get the effect of the remedy.
