THI ifisrevan Bawn.—lt is very unfortunate
that this exsellent band *hose such an inattspi
pious time to pay us a visit. With the Mafia of
thirty-one brass bands—good, bad and indifferent
—ringing is our oars sinee Friday last, our appe
tite for the beet must naturally be aided. There
is but one opinion in regard to the merits of the
band, and that is that there are few superior, if
an in the State.
A Comrarr or Durrairrs.—The Memphis people
are organising a military company calling them
selves Defiants. Their outfit is of a peculiarly cheer
ful description. The uniform is to be black home
spun, with red plumes. Their banner is black—
en one side wilt be represented a right hand grasp
ing an unsheathed sword, with the name of the
company- ,, the Defiants----Nritteit ill red letters
above. The whole outfit will be emblematical of
death and defiance, and will cost forty dollars.—
We think they might spend their money to bettor
advantage by buying themselves decent snits at
the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Reckhill Wil
son, Nos. 603 and 600 Chesnut street, above Sixth,
Philadelphia.
A PEDESTRIAN WAGEn.—A silly young man
named Edward Weston having wagered during the
Presidential campaign that if Lincoln was elected
he would walk to Washington within ten days to
see him inaugurated, was on the point of starting
from the State House, Boston, at noon, on the 22d,
in fulfillment of his obligation, when he was taken
into custody on a writ issued by one of his credi
tors, who, learning that be was about to leave the
State, and fearful that the fatigues of the tramp,
or the attractions of the Federal Capital might
operate to preventhis return to Massachusetts, had
procured his arrest for a debt of $3l. It was pro
posed to raise the amount of the debt by collec
tions from the crowd, but the latter not responding
as liberally as was expected by the proposer of that
method of "raising the wind," it was abandoned.
Eventually Mr. Weston succeeded in effecting a
"compromise" with his creditors by the settlement
of his "little bill," and at fifteen minutes of one
o'clock, three quartets of an hour behind the ap
peinted time of starting, the luckless better started
upon his long tramp, accompanied by two friends
in a buggy carrying his baggage.
ZOIIATZS —The people of Harrisburg are a peo
ple of the most enlarged views, and they never at
tempt to go into any of your half-way measures.—
They practice upon the axiom that, whatever is
worth doing at all, is worth doing right. Hence,
they never talk of getting up a single military
company, to start with. They are never satisfied
with a single building; nothing short of an entire
block will suffice. A single company a. National
Guards won't do—it must be a regiment. To be
cure—this vaulting ambition sometimes o'erleaps
itself, after avast amount of gas hae been expended,
and we feel ridiculous for a time at the failure, but
we soon forget it, and when a new sensation strikes
us, we are again ready to
"Go the whole hog or none."
The parade of two Zouave companies here•on
the 22d started the Zouave fever. Welt, there is
nothing much in that, save the insignificant fact,
that Harrisburg la alightually behind the age when
it copies novelties after a town located away up on
the Allegheny mountains. This Zouave fever has
become epidemic, rages fearfully, and to-day we
hear that no less than three companies of noon in
red breeches are on the point of forming ! It is to
be deeply regretted that before one company is
formed, the wind-work of the three will be com
pleted, and we shall hear of them again no more
forever ! That is our experience of the past.
Out BAND AT Hittrusrusa.—The editor of the
Hollidaysburg Standard, who is a member of the
Van Tries Band, thus speaks of their visit to this
city on the 22d t
The Van Tries Cornet Band, of this place, were
present at the celebration of the a nniversary of
Washington's birthday arliarrieburg. They were
the guests Of the Washington Hose CoMpany'of
that city, and accompanied them in the procession
on that occasion. The fire department of Harris
burg is well organized, being provided with fine
apparatus and sang houses. But there are none
who are as comfortably provided for as the Wash
ington Hose Company. They have recently
erected a new building, with ornamental front and
stained glass windows. The first story is colon
nade, of Corinthian order. It is fitted up with all
the modern conveniences, is handsomely furnished,
and luxurious in all its appointments. Col. Zieg
ler, a gentlemaa of high standing and reputation,
is the President, and the members are of the most
respected of the citizens of Harrisburg. A splen
did supper was served up by the company on the
evening of the 22d, in the upper hall of their
building, of which many partook. Infinite good
humor prevailed, and all were delighted with the
hospitalities of the "Washy Boys." The band were
treated with the utmost attention during their stay,
and returned' home cherishing lasting recollections
of the kindness of the gentlemanly members of the
'Washington Hose Company.
Speaking of t he Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
the same paper says:
:,Top much credit cannot be given to this company
for the generous manner in which they provided
for carrying visitors to Harrisburg last week, to
participate in the ceremonies of the 22d. Whilst
civilians were carried there and back at excursion
rates, ail mi litary companies and bands were car
ried free of charge. And, notwithstanding the im
mense numbers Carried, not a passenger met with
a n accident- Such liberal conduct, and complete
and cement management, cannot fail to make the
company i mmensely popular, and add to the itl-
I . ity h igh reputation s of Mr. Scott, the worthy
P Ri 4 on , and Mr. Lewis, the

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HARRISBURG BIBLE Se
c:Err —The Board of Managers of the. Harrisburg
Bible Society, in presenting their annual report,
regret that they are not able to furnish a statement
that would indicate an increasing interest in the
excellent cause of Bible dietribution. From the
statement of the Treasurer it appears that only
$125.57 were contributed during the past year by
our entire community, for the Bible cause, inclu
ding home and foreign distribution. The Mana
gers of the Society are convinced, however, that
the mengrenese of this contribution is not to be
taken as a fair exponent of the feelings of our
church members t4p4 citizens generally, in regard
to this cause, but rather as a proof of the ineffi
ciency of the plan hitherto adopted for eliciting
their contributions. The method heretofore pur
sued has failed to afford our citizens generally an
annual opportunity of contributing to this cause.—
And the plan suggested for several years by the
Society at its annual meetings, viz : that the pas
tors of our churches should each, in his own way,
have special collections taken up annually among
his own people for this cause, does not seem to
have commended itself to their favor—to be feasi
ble. So the Board has determined, for the present
year, to adopt the suggestion of the Dauphin
County Bible Society, at its late Convention in
Millersburg, to request each of the pastors of
the city to furnish the Secretary of our Society
with the names of two ladies of his church as col
lectors; that the city be divided into as many die-
Wets as there are committees appointed; that
these committees meet together on the day after
the delivery of the Mud discourse before the So
ciety, distribute among themselves the districts of
the city as thus divided, and proceed at once to.
call at every house, and *solicit contributions in he.
half of the Bible Society.
Most of the ministers have already consented to
this arrangement, and have furnished the Secretary
with the names of ladies belonging to their
churches who are willing to engage in this good
work. The rest of the ministerial brethren are
herewith reoreetfully requested to co-operate in
like manner by handing in such names at the close
of the public czereing this evening,
The Managers herewith bespeak for these ladies
a kind and cordial reception, and confidently trust
that this methail will WRIT@ a large increase in the
revenues of our Society, reaching, as it will, many
who would not otherwise have an opportunity per
sonally presented to them of contributing to their
cause.
Those persons who desire to become regular
members of the Society by the annual contribution
of $l.OO, can mention this fact to the committee
that calls upon them, and all who are now members
of the Socieiy are requested to make their annual
payment to these committees, taking credit for the
same at once upon the collectors' books, which will
be deposited in the keeping of the treasurer of the
Society.
AMERICAN ANTIQIIITIES.—From unanswerable
facts and statistics, it is evident that the great val
leys of the Ohio and Mississippi were once the
abode of a mighty nation—civilized and refined,
warlike and brave—descendants of those mighty
nations to whom we have alluded, and who settled
in this country long before the appearance of the
Saviour upon the earth.
Near Lexington, Kentucky, are the remains of
an ancient catacomb, formed in the solid rock of
limestone. This curiosity was discovered in the
year 1776, by the early settlers of that country.—
The mouth of the cavern was carefully concealed
with stones, which, on being removed, opened into
a cave of immense magnitude.
The sides of this spacious apartment were found,
upon examination,. to be out into niches or OM
partments, occupied by figures representing men.
By further investigation these figureswere discov
ered to be mummies—persons preserved by the art
of embalming, and exhibited a state of perfection
equal to that known at any time among - the Egyp
tians; and you will bear in mind that this art was
practiced by that people three thousand four hun
dred and seventy-five years previous to this dis
covery in Kentucky. The catacomb was capable
of holding two thousand subjects.
Again, there is found on the Ohio, near twenty
miles below Wabash river, another remarkable
work of antiquity. It is a very large cave with
smooth perpendicular walls, and a level floor. The
walls are covered with hieroglyphic figures, cut in
solid stone, and are well executed. Among them
are representations of animals unknown to the
present generation. This cave is one of the great
est curiosities on the Ohio, and is connected with
a dark, dismal cavern, nearly the same size which
is located direetly above it, and which is accessible
through a chimney-like aperture.
When we view the ancient mounds and Tumuli
of the West, we are lost in wonder, in view of the
number, magnitude and obscurity of their origin.
There are several hundred of these works in the
valleys of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and
some of them are found to be filled with thousands
of human skeletons, indicating that they were
places of deposit of the dead. They also bear the
appearance of having been contiguous to some
large and populous city.
Many strange and curious antiquities have been,
from time to time, exhumed from these mounds,
and it is most significant that, in a great majority
of instances, there exists a remarkable resemblance
between these relics found in the nineteenth cen
tury, and articles which were known to have been
used among the Romans, Grecians and Egyptians
before the days of Christ.
RAILWAY INVENTIONS.-A traversing frame to
remove oars from one line of rail to another has
come into use on some of the English railroads.—
According to this plan, a strong frame supported
on wheels, which are covered by its sides, travels
on a railway at right angles to the lines, from one
to the other of which the cars are to be transfer
red.
The level of the upper surface of the transverse
rail is a little above that of the principal lines, so
that the latter are cleared by the flanges of the
wheels of the frame which therefore freely traverse
them. The transverse line is broken where it
crosses the principal lines, space being left for
the trains to pass. To receive the car, a rail is
placed like a shell or ledge at the bottom of the
skive of the frame, so as just to clear the surface
of the permanent rails; and to.raise the ear upon
this shelf, a switch is provided, which, turning upon
a hinge, may be brought, when the frame is pro
perly placed, into the direction of the principal
line.
The upper surface of this switch forms an in
alined plane, up which the ear may b e ra i se d un til
its wheels rest upon the shelf.- The frame with its
burden is then pushed sideways along the trans
verse rail, to which the Cat is to be transferred,
and the switch supplies an inclined plane by which
the car descends. This traversing frame, supply
ing, for many purposes, the use •of the turn-table
is regarded as a useful invention.
A PIONEER GOAL—joseph Trailer, of Cambria,
died at his residence in Clearfield township, on
the 9th inst., at the patriarchal age of 94 years.—
He settled in Cambria in the year 1802, when it
was little else than a dreary wilderness, and . was
among the forsmost of those hardy pioneers who
planted civilization amidst the rugged peaks of the
Alleghenies.
CURRENCY TINKERING.—The following is a copy
of the bill introduced in the Senate on Thursday
last!
An Act for the better regulation of the currency
Be it enacted, &c., Teat it shall be obligatory on
the several banks of this Commonwealth not situ
ated within the corporate limits of Philadelphia

demption of their notes in the cities of Philadel
phia and Pittsburg in manner as follows, to wit :
Those banks east of the Allegheny mountains and
not situated within the city of Philadelphia, shall
redeem their notes in the city of Philadelphia in
specie or notes of the active solvent banks of PhiC

legheny mountains and not situated within the
city of Pittsburg, shall redeem their notes in the

with its provisions, shall, for such length of time
as its notes may not be redeemed, as aforesaid,
forfeit and pay to the State Treasurer, for the use
of the Cotatoonitealtb of Pefaiitylrania, at the rate
of two per cent. (2 pr. at.) per annum on every dol

Read when the Press says, after thoroughly testing the
matter, and no one can have a doubt,
Prof. WOOD'S Restorative Cordial ac d Blood Renova
tor is a genuine medicine of real merit, pleasant to the
taste and invigorating to the system. While it purifies
the blood acid soothes the nervous initation, it aids the
organs of digestion to perform their functions, and re
sist the assault of disease. It is a checcical compound
BO skillful'y comtined that while it exhilarates it does
not provoke the lassitude which usually follows excite
ment. A tonic, composed exclusively of vegetable mat
ter, it is absolutely ‘eueficial, and 111) ill offsets can pos.
sibiy accompany its use It is an infallible and speedy
remedy Roo Loss of Appetite, Faintness, Nervous Debil
ity, Neuralgia. Pa'pitation of the Heart, Falling of the
Womb, and other delicate diseases to which woman is
Subject. For Sickness of the Stomach, Unions A..taeks,
Liver Complaints, Costiveness, Dyspepsia, Consumption,
and a host of evils flesh is heir to, it is a certain cure.—
Se. Lewis Mornigg Herald.
PROF. WOOD'S RE STORATIVE CORDIAL.—It is recorded
in the Classics that Psyche was once sent to a climate
warmer than the West Indies, to procure a sample of the
beauty i,f Prosperine in a box. After some delay the
mer senger returned, and as soon as the lid of the box
was removed, out flew all the ills that flesh is heir to.—
Fortunate ly, hope was found hi the bottom of the box.
Prof. WOOD'S Restorative Cordial revives the recollec
tion of the story, for it invigorates the blood, aids the
organs of digestion, imparts strength to the nervous sys
tem, anJ fortifies the citadel of health, so as to bid de
fiance to the asssults of disease. It is a healthy tonic,
composed entirely of, vegetable productions, and while
it is exhilarating as pure wine, no injurious results can
possibly follow its use. It is a desideratum in the medi •
cal world, and those who are afflicted with loss of appe
tite, Dyspepsia, Consumption, Faintness, giddiness,
NeauralAia, Palpitation of the heart, &e., will find here
an infallible panacea.—St. Louis Daily Express.
PROF. WOOD'S RFSTORATIvE CORDIAL AND BLOOD Rini-
OVATOR is, without doubt, the best tonic Cordial in the
world. To those who are suffering from General Debili
ty, we would recommend its use, for it is pleasant to the
taste, is strengthening to the system, and will at once
tend to remove impurities of the blood, and eradicate
all traces of disease. It can be taken by the weakest
stomach, while those in good health wilt at once feel its
exhilarating power. Wo are confident that after using
One bolte of this Cordial none will be fora day without
it.—New York Ltader.
A Pea; lIIRALTFIT Tot= , and one free from the dele
terious and injurious effects sure to follow those in ordi
nary use, has long been felt to be a desideratum in the
Medical world. Such a tonic, and one so skillfully com
bined from the vegetable kingdom as to act in perfect
accordance with the laws of nature, and thus soothe the
weakest stomach, and at the same time allay nervous
and other irritations, and tone up all the organs of which
the human body is composed, is offered in Prof. WOOD'S
Restorative Cordial and Blood Renovator. Bence, it is
perfectly adapted to old and young. Reader, try it.—
