SIGNOR BLITZ COMlNG.—iSignor Blitz, the amia ble and gentlemanly necromancer and ventrilo quist, will be here and give two exhibitions on Thursday and Friday evenings next, at Brant's Hall. The Signor will be accompanied by his tame canary birds and his talking automaton, "Bobby." He has always been a favorite with the citizens of Harrisburg, and we have no doubt his entertainments will be visited by everybody, and especially the little ones, who take so much delight in his performances. The entertainments - are to be given under the auspices of the State Capital band, whose excellent music has so frequently de lighted our citizens. Twa NEXT Buffs Fent —At the last meeting of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society a com mittee was appointed to select a proper place to hold the next annual exhibition, and the town or City offering the best inducements to be selected. The committee have accordingly advertised their intentions, and it remains to be decided where the location shall be. A number of gentlemen inte rested in the matter, in this city, have held a con sultation on the subject, and intend holding a meeting shortly. The advantage of holding the State Fair at or near this city would be so much to our interest that the matter should receive the immediate attention of our citizens. Tun WAR Rumotts.—All sorts of rumors were in circulation on the streets yesterday, in regard to the present crisis in our National affairs. In the morning, it was circulated that both Forts Pickens and Sumpter had been attacked, but we could find no foundation for the rumor. The war message, sent to the Legislature yesterday morning by Gov. Curtin, was the subject of considerable talk. A great deal of curiosity was manifested to know what is really the condition of the militia force of this Commonwealth. From official sources we learn that the whole number of organized volun teer companies in this State is about 500, avera ging about 40 men to a company, making an ag gregate of over 20,000 uniformed volunteers. The entire military force of the State is about 355,000 men capable of military duty. The arms of the State are all in the possession of the volunteer companies, and comprise 12,080 muskets, 4,706 rifles, 2,809 cavalry swords and sabres, 3,147 pis tols, 69 pieces of ordnance, being six-pound bronze cannon. Of the above there are only about 2,500 muskets of the new model, 1,200 improved rifles, and about 500 cavalry swords. The balance are unfit for active service, being mostly of the heavy old flint lock. The 69 pieces of ordnance are in good condition, with the exception of the carriages. From the above it will be seen that the volunteers of the. State have hut 4,200 effective small arms, leaving an actual deficit for them alone of 14,800. No arms are furnished to the militia by the State itself. All that are now issued to the militia aro furnished by the United States to Pennsylvania. The sum of $200,000 is annually appropriated to the purchase of arms, to be distributed among the States and Territories, in proportion to their rep resentation in Congress. Throughout the State there are several uniformed military companies without arms and equipments, which is owing to the shortness of the quota furnished the State by the General Government. In reference to requisitions being made upon the Governor for troops, the sixth section of the militia law of April 2d, 1822, which is .still in force, provides, •'that when the President of the United States shall have made a requisition of I part of the militia of this State for public service, the Adjutant General shall take the most prompt and efficacious measures for detaching and supply ing with all necessary arms, equipments, ammuni tion and provisions, the number of men required, and for having them marched to the place of ren dezvous : Provided, That volunteer troops and companies shall be first detached, and may be kept in service any time not exceeding six months,"— The second section of the same act provides, "that the militia may be called into service by the Gov ernor in the event of a rebellion, or an actual or threatened invasion of this or any neighboring State, but no portion shall be detained in service, at any one time, for a longer period than• three months, under the mere requisition of the Gayer nor, without the direction or assent of the President of the United States." GIPSIES.—About this season of , the year this part of the country is generally infected with ro ving bands of thieves who style themselves bur glars. Last spring, and during almost the entire simmer, several encampments were located in this county, and some of them within a few miles of the city, to which they paid frequent visits. The proverbial dishonesty of these people causes them to be regarded with suspicion, and when the fe males go about from house to house telling for tunes, timid housewiies should keep a wary eye upon them. The new American Cyclopedia says that it is questionable uhether a genuine band of Gipsies' ever visited this country. The American Gipsies never do any work, however, and have no fixed habitation. The only covering they have is the canvas over their wagon beds, and when they have no wagons to lie in they sleep upon the ground They are necessarily filthy in their habits, and generally live from hand to mouth. Some of the men have money, and . we have lately heard of wagons being made to order, by one of out manu facturers, at a cost of three hundred dollars. This is an exceptional case, and as a general rule they are possessed of but little means. The origin of this singular race is unknown, although they pretend to be desoended from the Eyptians—the name "gypsy" being a corruption of the term "Egyptian." Organized bands of Gipsies first appeared in Germany in 1417. They numbered about 14,000 in Italy, as early as 1422. We quote from the Cyclopedia as. follows: "On April 14, 1837, arrived at Paris from Bohemia, (they said) a band of 120 strangers, claiming to be Christians of lower Egypt, who had been ex pelled byfthe Saracens. They said they had con fessed to his holiness Martin V., who, at, a penance for sins committed on the way, had ordered them to traverse the world for seven years without sleep ing in beds. They had among them a duke, a count, ten lords, and a number of women. The women wore gold ear rings, and bad black, curly hair. They professed the gifts of fortune telling and palmistry, and were great thieves. The au thorities would not permit them within the city of Paris, but assigned them La Chapelle, near St. Denis, where they were consulted on occult matters by great numbers of the citizens. Finally the Bishop of Paris had them removed, and excom municated those who bad consulted them. Their credentials were doubtless spurious. Notwith standing their removal from Paris, they continued to wander in France, and other bands succeeded them. From France they crossed into England, and wherever they went they practiced the arts of thieving and deception, until they became a nui sance in all the States of Europe." Several laws were passed against the Gipsies, and in some countries they were banished. The sovereigns of Germany made an effort to reclaim and settle them, by teaching the useful arts, and educating the children. They failed to obey, and severer measures than before were taken against them. In 1830, the total number of Gipsies in Eu rope was estimated at 700,000. The laws against them have in most countries becoine obsolete, the greater intelligence of the people rendering them less liable to imposition. The genuine Gipsy is represented as having few redeeming characteristics. They are treacherous, cowardly, revengeful and cruel. They have little or no religious belief, and have no words in their language to signify God, the soul, or immortality. Marriage is a temporary form with them, and the limits of consanguinity are not respected. Some of the women, with their light, agile figure, black hair, quick black eyes, and fine white teeth, are regarded as beauties, but their habits are so squalid and depraved as to cause them, before they are past the middle age, to fall into decrepitude. IMPROVEMENT IN RAILROADS.—The aSteienti:fic American of March 30th contains a description of Wharton's patent, which dispenses with railroad switches and switch-tenders. We have seen work ing models of this useful invention, which has been tested far months by extensive practical use upon city railroads in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Bos ton, with entirely satisfactory results. As it is an improvement that from its economy and efficiency will probably be adopted by city railroads every where, we present to our readers the following con densed description of the plan, and its mode of ope ration : When two lines . of cars use the same track in part, it has heretofore been found indispensable to employ a switch-man to separate them at the proper point, but by Wharton's patent the same re sult is obtained by having one line of cars use wheels with an extra tread in addition t4a the com mon tread, and a short inclined supplementary rail so placed at the turn-off that the extra tread shall run gently upon it; the wheels being gradu ally raised off their usual bearing and running on the extra tread Itloae, will pass over and above the usual grooved rail without touching it, and pro ceed straight onward, while the other line of cars, furnished with wheels of the common form, will not be acted upon by the inclined rail, and will, of course, be guided around the curve by means of the grooved rail, as at all other curves. The change of bearing from the common tread to the extra tread, and vice versa, is so smoothly accomplished as to be almost imperceptible. By varying the position and diameter of the extra tread, many combinations may be obtained, and thus a number of different lines may use the same track in common. Bach line of cars, as it arrives at the point arranged for it, and not for the others, will deviate from the main track and follow its own particular course, and so in proper order will the other lines do, at their respective points of.di version. As the patent frog is cast solid in one piece, there is nothing movable in the street to get out of order, or freeze up in winter, and the pave ment is laid flush up to it, the greatest elevation being only enough to raise the flange of the double tread wheel over the greyed rail, and permit it to go straight on. The experience of the companies using this in vention has been that the economy of dispensing with switch-tenders can be sucoessfully accom plished, and, at the same time, the [mikes be more efficiently and satisfactorily performed. The modification of this invention, intended for steam roads, is different in arrangement from the one in tended for city railroads, described above, and is so Constructed that the passenger trains shall be entirely independent from, and uncontrolled by, the switches which act upon fteight trains. The track is laid absolutely unbroken and continuous through from station to station; and the express trains will proceed with certainty past all switches, which, although through carelessness left wrong, can in no manner affect them. Naw Enema —The Good Will fire company, located on Ridge avenue, in the Sixth ward, have contracted with Messrs. Button & Blake, of West Troy, N. Y., for one of their superior side lever hand engines. The machine will be of the second class and almost an imitation of that now in use by the Citizen company. A committee of the com pany are at present engaged in collecting money to make the first payment. We commend their laudable enterprise and wish them success. FIRS.—The alarm of fire yesterday mornin g , about 8 o'clock, was occasioned by the burning of a foul chimney at the State Capital Hotel, corner of Third and Walnut streets. - The entire fire de partment of the city was in motion, but happily their services were not needed. [Communicated.] In my communication yesterday, advocating the wise expediency of not repealing all laws that ex empt certain property from taxation, I mentioned our churches and charitable institutions, but I for got our cemeteries. The law, as it stands now, exempts from taxation alnots actually sold. Cemetery lots, when bought, become the abso lute property of the purchaser, like a house in the city. This fact admitted, how can taxes be col lected from delinquents? If there is a tomb-stone, will the law order it to be removed and sold? If yes, what next ? Will the law order the depth of the grave to be measured, to ascertain whether there is room for one or two coffins more? If yes, whit next? Will the law ordet the remains of the dead to be raised, so as to sell the lot a second time? If yes, what will be done with those re mains? Will they be buried by the hands of the sheriff, or be buried in the only place where they must, absolutely, be protected from taxation—the bed of the Schuylkill or the Susquehanna, when left dry during the summer months!!! Gentlemen, members of the Legislature, admire the foresight of our preceding Legislatures, and do not set a blasting hand on their wise enactments.

WOOD'S lIAIR RESTORATIVE READ WHAT A DISTINGUISHED PHYSICIAN OF ST. LOUIS SAYS OF IT. St. Louis, July 10th, 1860. 0. J. Woon, Esq.: Dear Sir—Allow me the pleasure and satisfaction to transmit to you the beneficial effects or your Hair Restorative after a trial of five years I commenced using your Restorative in January. 1815, 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. A few applications stopped its felling, 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 completely restored, I continued its use by applying two or three times per month. My 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 Batter your vanity at this late day, as I am well aware 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 measure 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 instance, however, had used it, and without effect. In every however, it proved by probing the matter, tbatthey had not used the article at all, but had used some new arti cle, said to be as good as yours, and selling atabout 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 snore 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 yon, personally, at your original place of business here, but learned you were now living in New York. You are at liberty to publish this or to refer parties to me. Any communication addressed to me, care box 1920, will be promptly answered. Yours, truly, JAMES WHITE, M. D. • Warren Springs, Perry Co., Pa., Tune 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 dandruffl had suf 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 removed all dand ruff from my head, and an application once 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° fgreat value, 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 here send you a statement that I think yen are entitled to the benefit of. I am 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 original color and fineness, as it was in my younger days a beautiful black, I concluded,' would make the experi ment, commencing in a small way. I purchased one of your email 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-rally tightened. and a radical change taking place in the color. I have continued to use it till I have used three of your sma' I bottles, and just begun on the fourth. I have now as pretty a head of dark brown, or light 'Week hair, as any man, or as I had in my youthful days when a boy in the hills of Western Virginia. My head is entirely clear of dandruff, and the hair ceased entirely falling off., and is as soft and fine, and feels es oily, as though it was just from under the hands of a French shampooer. hi..ny of my acquaintances frequently say to me, 4 .llutler, where did you get that fine wig..'" 1 tell them it was 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. *racy, FREDERICK T. BUTLER, Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana. PROF. WOOD'S HAM RESTORATIVE.—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 off. We have seen many authentic testimonials in proof of these assertions, some of which are from gentlemen whom we have known for many veers as persons of the most re liable character. Don't dye till you have tried this Re atorative:—Boston Olive Branch. WOOD'S HAIR RUSTORATIVR .—We are not in the habit of puffing every new eiscovery, for nine cases of ten they are quack nostrums, but we take great pleasure in recommending Professor Wood's article 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 heads will be as rare as snow in Summer.—Baltimore Patriot. WOOD'S HAIR RESSORATIVR.—UnIike most specifics, this is proveu, by unimpeachable ev.dence, to possess great efficacy as a restorer of the hair to its pristine vigor. Where the head hadbecome almost bald because of sickness, the use of this article 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 innosious.—Bos ton Transcript, Apral22, 159. A GENIIINS BooN.—ln our capacity as conductor of a public journal we are called upon to advertise the cure tills 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 is universally known in be magical; like lime or guano on exhaust ed land, it brings its crop wherever applied. Our own thatch is fortunately healthy, but Wd advise our friends with sparsely growing hair to trythe Restorative.—columbia spy. QuAe NOSTRUM —The majority of hair washes, hair dyes, hair toni,s, hair oils, and the nunkberlessprepara 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 wster; their real merit, when they possess any, is, that they do DO harm. Hog's lard, whale oil, lard oil, sweet oil, scented and colored, make up, whsn 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 sexes. Such is not the character of Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative. This gentleman comes before the world without any "highfalutin" Xilophloforiuni or any other a-toundin and startling catch-penny term ; he simply advertises a Hair Restorative—what it expr« sees, precisely—and as a Restorative it acts. Buy Professor Wood's Hair Restorative, and as you value your scalp, aye, your very.brains, apply nothing - else ; fur it may be that you will got some worse substance than perfumed lard oil on your Cranium. hen:m[oer.
