SIGNOR BLITZ COMlNG.—iSignor Blitz, the amia

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.

PROF. 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. Wood's Re.tura
