to the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Roekhill t

Tna CITY COUNCIL.---A meeting of the Council
was held at their Chamber, in the Exchange, on
Thursday evening last.. Mr: Gross preside& With
the exception of the, appointment of the committees,
but little business of importance was transacted.
The - Pennsylvania railroad company offered and
agreed to build liewer from their depot to the
Peaton.creek ; which was referred to a committee
of three, with power to act
_
A motion was made to re-rent the office now oc
cupied by the Mayor, and the roontrised as a lock
up, for another year. Upon taking the vote, it
was decided in the negative.
A 'veto message from the Mayor was received
and read. This message was in relation to the
Cumberland Valley railroad company. It appears
that several snits are now pending against tdis
company for violation of the city ordinances, and
they refuse to come to time, and, in fad, defy our
City Fathers. Some of the Council wishing to
"kiss, and be friends" with the company, intro
duced a new ordinance, (which was passed,) re
pealing the old one in relation ,to the flagmen, and
substituting horns and bells. The Mayor, very
properly, vetoed the bill, and the further conside
ration of the matter was postponed till the next
meeting.
On motion, the following committees were then
appointed by the President:
Fire Committm—Mesers. Stahl, littehnlen and
Martin.
Gas Committee—Messrs. Verbeke, Mmyer and
Garverieb.
Finance Committee—Memo. Hamilton, Bailey
and StabL
Ordinance Committee'—Hamilton, Bailey .and
Black.
Water Committee—Bailey, Hamilton and Black.
The Street Committees consist of the following
persons: _ .
First District—Messrs. Bell, Haebnlen and Hook.
Second District—Messrs. Verbeke, Garverich and
Bailey.
Third Distriet--Messrs. Stahl, Martin and Brooke.
A committee of the members of the Friendship
fire company appeared and presented the follow
ing petition; which was referred to the Fire Com
mittee, with a request that they should report at
the neat meeting:
BARRISBURG, March 28,1861.
At a meeting of the Friendship fire company,•
No. 1, it was
Rewired, That the officers of this company act
as a committee to petition the City Council to pro
nure for our use some hose to be used as leading
hose immediately from the steam engine.
In accordance with the above, we, the under
signed, do petition you, the City Council of Har
risburg, to grant us an appropriation of six fifty
feet sections of ten-inch hose. We ask this for
the reason that we are aware of the fact that the
small hose we now have, with a few exceptions,
have 'been too much used, and, as a matter of
course, too much worn to be placed so near the
steamer. A. W Bartesrunseen, Pres. F. F. C.
A. Settiavan, Treaetwer.
Frederick Hoehnlen was elected Clerk of the
Market.
A motion was then made that the Clerk of the
Council remove the books and papers to the new
room, in the Court House, and then the Council
adjourned. The next meeting will be held at the
new quarters, on Saturday evening, April 6.
Easria. Wm.—The present season is regarded
by Christian nations, and also by Jews, as the most
solemn of any in the year. It closes Lent—the
forty days set apart, and by some sects deioted to
fasting and prayer in commemoration of the fasting
of Christ in the wilderness. Good Friday is the
anniversary of the crucifixion, and consequently
the consummation of the great plan of human
salvation. The gloom with which Lent closes is
immediately succeeded by a time of the greatest
rejoicing; for it commemorates that final triumph
of the Cross over sin, when the followers of Jeans
proclaimed to the astonished world, that "Christ
had risen from the dead," and by this event had
given to his disciples the evidence of the truth of
what be had taught.
With the Hebrews the same season is the anni
versary of the Passover, which proceeded the de
liverance of the children of Israel from the bond
age of Egypt, and it is One of the most sacred
festivals of that peculiar people.
The time of Easter is fixed, like that of the feast
of the Passover, by the position of the Moon in
its orbit at the time of the Vernal Equinox, Easter
being the Sunday following the first full Moon
after the equinox. Such festivals .are termed
movable, because they do not occur upon fixed
days of any month. When the Moon is full, or,
more strictly, in its fourteenth day, immediately
after the time that the Sun reaches the equinoctial
line, Easter will happen in March; but if the Moon
should be just past the full at that time, it may be
as late as the nineteenth of April. .•
Such seasons of pions rejoicing, when properly
observed, afford unmitigated 'satisfaction to those
who engage heartily in the exercises connected
with' them, and serve to bring vividlylo mind the
moat interesting events in the history of the
Christian Church.
A ViRIPAIFF OFFICE SEEKER.—The Washington
correspondent of the Springfield Republican says:
I muattell you a good story of this wild scram
ble for office. A farmer-like fellow came here from
the West a few weeks ago, and went to work for a
prominent $3,000 place in one of the Departments.
At home be had never earned $5OO a year, but
having seen the Blue Book, he bad from the first
set his heart upon this particular office. By dint of
industry and brass he got a heavy list of recom
mendations for the place, and came on here to re
coinnoitre. lie at last went to the office of the
Department, still occupied by one of the first men
in the Democratio party, backed by scores of Dem
ocrotic Senators. The Western gentleman pre
sented himself in the following manner : "I am an
applicant for your office. I expect to get it. Are•
the duties difficult ?" Mr. 6 saw in a moment
who had he to deal with, and with a merry twin
kle of the eye, replied: "Oh, no!—they can be
easily performed—indeed, a boy could transact the
business of the office at a pinch" "But," said the
greenhorn, " I am not much used to the writing
business, and I shall have to get you to learn me
the duties of the office. I would be willing to pay
yon fairly for learning me the ropes !" " When
you are appointed to this place," slowly replied
the incumbent, " I will agree to give you a fort
night's tuition without charge." He has not yet
been called on to redeem his promise, nor do I be
lieve he ever will.
AN IMPROVED COFFEE ROASTER, constructed on
the rotary principle, enclosed in a cast-iron box,
so as to be gouvoniently used on stove or range,
can be had at B. J. Harris,' No. 112 Market street.
It will be found a great saving of trouble end time
to house-keepers, and to brown the coffee for use in
a superior style.
At the same place can also be found an improved
gild-iron, made especially for broiling in ranges or
cook-stoves, over coal fires, and so constructed as
to prevent dripping upon the fire, and to preserve
all the gravy. This is an admirable article, and
should be in every family where mineral coal is
used for cooking.
Adel' Isaacs Menken (Heenan no more) made a
speeoh in Milwaukee Saturday night, at the close
of a theatrical performance, in which she said she
had a good word for her "brother quills," as she
•fraternally styled those who had spoken kindly of
her efforts, and added that if it were possible for
all such editors, and the andience too, to be con
centrated into one single cheek, she felt as if she

AN ITINERANT GHOST—The prevailing "sense..
tion" at Cleveland is a phantom of variable form
and size, 'which. occasionally perambulates the
streets of that city, after "the witching hour of
night," to the intense terror of some score or more
of timid persons who have :enjoyed a glimpse of
his ghostship, and the indignatiori of a still grater
number who irreverently regard the nocturnal vis
itant as a miscreant worthy.only of summary pnn
ishmertt. The latest doings of the apparition are
thus related by the Cleveland Herald of last Sat
urday :
So much indignation has been excited by his re
ported doings that on Thursday night about one
hundred and fifty persons were on the watch for
him. Many of the watchers were armed with pis
tols,
and from at least some of them the ghost
would hive met a warm reception. No ono pre
pared for an encounter has yet been so fortunate
as to obtain a sight of the white-sheeted individ
ual.
On Tuesday evening a young man, clerk in a Su
perior street store, was walking up Erie street,
when be suddenly beheld the ghost a few feet to
his right. The figure, he says, was ten feet in
height, and moved smoothly and noiselessly along.
The young man remembers nothing more until be
found himself lying on the ground;the gloat no
where to be seen. He had fainted.
In the same neighborhood two boys encountered
the pretended apparition a few nights since.—
Picking up a heavy atone, one of the boys followed
the figure, which was retreating towards an alley.
Just as the ghost turned into the alley, the boy
threw his stone r and with milt correct aim that it
struck the figure fu in theback. A groan, un
earthly enough, but too vigorous for any but sound
lungs-of flesh and blood, was the response.
Perhaps the ghost was admonished by this ad
venture that his nocturnal,perambulations might
be attended occasionally by disagreeable nircum
stancolt. Certain it is that when a man eneoun_
tered it the next night, and proceeded to administer
the castigation it so richly deserves, the ghost pro
duced a most sub'stantial cudgel, with which he
dealt his chastiser a blow that sent him reeling to
the ground.
There are various accounts of the appearance of
the figure. Some assert that when first seen it is
no larger than an -ordinary man, but immediately
expands or enlarges to double that size. There
is no "joke" in frightening people as this miscre
ant has done, and the person who catches and
punishes the fellow will deserve the thanks of the
community.
EIGHTEEN things in whidh young people render
themselves impolite:
1. Loud laughter.
2. Reading when others aro talking.
3. Cutting finger-nails in company.
4. Leaving meeting before it is closed.
5. Whispering in meeting.
6. Gazing at strangers.
• 7. Leaving a stranger without a seat.
8. A want of reverence for seniors.
9. Reading aloud in company without being
asked.
10. Receiving a present without some man ifes
tation of gratitude.
11. Making yourself a topic of conversation.
12. Laughing at mistakes of others.
13. Joking others in company.
14. Correcting eider parsons than yourself, es
pecially parents.
16. Commencing talking before others are
through.
16. Answering questions when put to others .
17. Commencing to eat as soon as you get to the
table.
18. In not listening to what one is saying in
company, unless you desire to show open contempt
for the speaker. A well bred person will not make
an observation while another of the company is
addressing himself to it.
AMERICAN Anistocrucy.—Heroes of the Revo

Warren was a physician.
Sumpter was a shepherd.
Roger Sherman was a shoemaker.
Marion was a farmer, as was also Putnam, Allen

BANK LETTER _AND BUSINESS
LETTER PAPER!
We would cell attention to a new article of paper,
called BUSINESS LETTER, which has ben gotten up
to meet the wants of business men and others who ob
ject to Commercial Note as being to narrow, and do not
wish to use part of usual letter sheet.
This overcomes both the above objections; is a per
fect sheet; pure wove 1 plate finish; ruled on one side ;
made from best material, free from adulteration, and put
up in neat boxes convenient for use.
We also have a paper called BANK LETTER, similar

PROF..WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE
READ WHAT A DISTINGUISHED PHYSICIAN
OF ST. LOUIS SAYS OF IT.
St. LOUIS, July 10th, 1860.
0. J. Wow), Esq.: Dear Sir—Allow me the pleasure
and satisfaction to transmit to you the beneficial effects
of your Hair Restorative after a trial of five years. I
commenced using your Restorative in January, 1855,
since which time I have not been without a bottle on
hand. When I commenced the use, my hair was quite
thin, and at least one-third gray. .4few applications
stopped its falling, and in three weeks time there was
not a gray hair to be found, neither has there been up to
this time.
After my hair was completelyrestored, I continued its
use by applying two or three times per month. bly hair
has ever continued healthy, soft and glossy, and my scalp
perfectly free from dandruff. I do not imagine the facts
above mentioned will be of any particular advantage to
you, or even flatter your vanity at this late day, as I am
welPaware they are all well known already, and even
more wonderful ones throughout the Union. I have oc
cupied my time in traveling the greater part of the time
the past three years, and have taken pride and pleasure
in recommending , your Restorative and exhibiting its
effects in my own case. In several instances I have met
with people that have pronounced it a humbug; saying
they had used it, and without effect. In every instance,
however, it proved by probing the matter, that they had
not used the article at all, but had used some new arti
cle, said to be as good as.yours, and selling at about half
the price. I have noticed two or three articles myself
advertised as above, which I have no doubt are humougs.
It is astonishing that people will patronize an article of
no reputation, when there is one at hand that has been
proved beyond a doubt.
Apparently, some of those charlatans have not brains
enough to write an advertisement, as I notice they have
copied yours, word for word in several instances, merely
inserting some other name in place of yours.
I have, within the past five years, seen and talked with
More than two thousand persons that have used your
preparation with perfect success—some for baldness,
gray hair, scald head, dandruff, and every disease the
scalp and head are subject to.
I called to see you, personally, at your original place
of business here, but learned you were now living inNew
York.
You are at liberty to publish this or to refer parties to
me. Any communication addressed tope, care box
1920, will be promptly answered. Yours, truly,
JAMB WHITE, H. D.
Warren Springs, Perry Co., Pk., June 7th, 1850.
PROF. WOOD : Dear Sir—l was induced more than a
year ago to try your valuable Hair Restorative, for the
purpose of cleansing my head of dandruff. I bad Buf
fered with it upon my head for years, and had never been
able to get anything to do me any good in removing it,
although I had tried many preparations, until I saw
your advertisement in a Harrisburg paper. Being there
at the time, I called at Gross & Ross's Drug Store
and bought a bottle, and now am prepared to recommend
it to universal use, for it has completely re moved all dand
ruff from my head, and an application ones in two weeks
keeps it free from any itching or other unpleasantness.—
I must also state that my hair had become quite white
in places, and, by the use of your preparation, has been
restored to its original color. lam now 50years of age,
and although I have used two bottles of the Restora
tive, no one has any knowledge of it, as I allow a few
gray hairs to remain in order to have my appearance
comport with my age: My head is now of less trouble
to me, in keeping it clean, &c., than at any time since
I have been a child. I consider your preparation o fgreat
valve, and although I do not like to expose myself, I
consider it my duty to say so. You can use this, or any
part of it, in any shape you think proper, if it is worth
anything to you. Yours, &c.,
H. H. ETTER.
Bloomington, Ind., July 30th, 1859.
Dear Sir :—I here send you a statement that I think
yen are entitled to the benefit of. I em a resident of
Bloomington and have been for over thirty years. lam
now over 50 years of age. For about twenty years past
my hair 'has been turning considerably gray, and was
almost entirely white, and very stiff and unpliant. I
had seen a number of certificates of the very wonderful
effect of your Hair Restorative, but supposed there was
more fiction than truth in them ; but entertaining a
strong desire to have my hair, if possible, restored to its
i
original color and fi neness, as t was in my younger days
a beautiful black, I concluded I would make the experi
ment, commencing in a small way. I purchased one of
your small bottles, at one dollar, and commenced using,
following directions as nearly as I could. I soon discov
ered the dandruff removed, and my hair, that was fall
ing off in large quantities, was consid..rably tightened,
and a radical change taking place in the color. I have
continued to use it till I have used three of your small
bottles, and just begun on the fourth. I have now a%
pretty a head of dark brown, or light black hair. as any
man, or as I had in my youthful days when a boy in the
hills of Western Virginia. Sly head is entirely clear of
dandruff, and the hair ceased entirely falling off, and is
as soft and fine, and feels as oily, as though it was just
from under the hands of a French shampooer. Many
of my acquaintances frequen tly say to me, "Butler, where
did you get that fine wig?" I tell them it wag the ef
fects of your Restorative. It is almost impossible to
convince them that it is the original hair of the same
old gray head. Yours, truly,
FREDERICK T. BUTLER,
Bloomington, Monroe County - , Indiana.
PROF. WOOD'S ELAM RESTORATIVD.—In another col
umn will be found an advertisement of this well-known
and excellent preparation for restoring gray hair to its
original color. The flair Restorative also cures cuta
neous eruptions, and prevents the hair falling olf. We
have seen many authentic testimonials in proof of these
assertions, some of which are from gentlemen whom we
hmie known for many years as persons of the most re
liable character. Don't dye till you have tried this lie
storative.—Boston Olive Branch.
WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATITE.We are not in the habit
of puffing every new oiscovery, for nine cases of ten
they are quack nostrums, but we take great pleasure in
recommending Professor Wood's arti ele to all whose hair
is falling off; or turning gray. Our well-known contri
butor, Finley Johnson, Esq., has experienced the bene
fits of its application, and joins with us in speaking of its
virtues. Let all try it, and bald beads will be as rare as
snow in Summer.—Baltionore Patriot.
WOOD'S Hama Rat3roaaTive.—ljolike most specifies,
this is proves, by unimpeachable evidence, to possess
great efficacy as a restorer of the hair to s pristine
vigor. Where the head had become almost bald because
of sickness, the use of this &aide has produced a beau
tiful growth of thick, glossy hair. It is therefore a val
uable preparation for all classes. Its ingredients are
such as to effectually eradicate dandruff and other im
purities, which operate so injuriously to the hair. It
also has curative properties of another descripti n In
many cases pimples and other disfigurements of the skin
disappear wherever it is used. There is no hazard at
taching to the trial of this remedy, and its effects can
only be beneficial, as the compound. if it does not cause
a manifest improvement, is incapable of doing harm..as
its component elements are perfectly innoxious.—Bos
tan Transcript, Apra/22, ;59.
A GENUINE BOON.—In our capacity as conductor of a
public journal we are called upon to advertise the cure
alls of the day, each of which claims to be unadultera
ted in its composition and. infallible in its curative ef
fects—with what justice we leave our readers to deter
mine. In one instance, however—Prof. Wood's flair
Restorative—we are so well assured of the notable
qualities of the article that we give it our endorsement
as all that its inventor and vender claims it to be. Its
effect upon a falling head of hair isuniversallyknown io
be magical j like lime or guano on exhausted land, it
brings its crop wherever applied. Our own thatch is
fortunately healthy, but we advise our friends with
sparsely growing hair to trythe Restorative.—Columbia
spy.
QIIACIL NIATRIIM .....The majority of hair washes, hair
dyes, hair tonics, hair oils, and the numberlessprepara
tions which are now before the public under such ex
travagant, hyperbolical and fantastic titles as we see
paraded in show windows and newspaper headings, as
hair preparations, are all humbugs of the first water;
their real merit, when they possess any, is, that they do
no harm. Hog's lard, whale oil, lard oil, sweet oil,
scented and colored, make up, when in beautiful wrap;
pers, and white flint glass bottles, the costliest character
of tonics. and when thus costly, are baptised with some
tri-syllable term, and caught at by verdant young and
old of both sakes. Such is not the character of Prof.
wood's Hair Restorative. This gentleman comes before
the world without any “highfalutin" XilophloForium or
any other agtoundine and startling catch-penny term ; he
simply advertises a Hair Restorative—what it expresses,
precisely—and as a Restorative it acts. Buy Professor
Wood's flair Restorative, and as you value your scalp,
aye, your very brains, apply nothing else •, for it may be
that you will get some worse substance than perfumed
lard oil on your cranium. Remember, Wood , . Restora
tive fur the Hair is the best article extant.—New York
Day Book.
