Gossip GitrritOnt FrtiENDs.—Have any of
ou,-couratiets readers ever passed a nightin
room fronting on Broadway? If not, we shall
attempt to give them some idea of it. To=pre
li ire - Your ininds,' you must imagine us to have
spent the day amid the dirt and noise and smell
and bliqu ess of a city numbering a million of
inhabitants, where one hundred die daily, and
where - neither life nor death can weigh a feath
er-against gain._ From 9 o'clock to 5 you must
auppose ua to_ have run a steeple chase with
Time, and won the race ; to have dined-seran
dem artem at ti ; to have spent the evening in
oompatty of friends where gas lights stink and
glitter; to have studied high life above stairs,
low life below stairs, and life from the highest
to the lowest on the street, the sidewalk, and in
the 'gutter. 'Tis now 14 :P. M., timefor decent
country folks to be abed ; ergo we retire at that
extremely early hour for New ' Yorkers. We
are shown to our room by . the conventional
Irish.watter who takes so long to light the gas,
and who looks 4e helplessly at you, as though
you intended to give him a quarter, and he was
.studying how to refuse it without hurting your
feelings. Our room is large, well ventilated and
elegantly furnished, the principal luxury being
a very large double bed. allowing plenty of room
for stretching one's weary limbs dorsally, later
ally or ventrally. 'We look, around the room
with no little ~complacency, taking a careful •
litienteiry of the contents; four chairs (one of
them a rockery) one sofa, one lounge, two mir
rocs, one heaureau, one wardrobe, one tour
_light ehandellier, one witslistand, one box of
matches, one piece of soap, two towels, one
tapestry carpet, one rug, one largewash bowl
and basin;etc. It is warm, so we hastily die.

Sliensliine's sentiments respecting inns, 'light u

of the-street that never rests stole into our
heart; mid "a hundred,yeara hence!" rose before
- *CIA palpably. The great grand-children of , the :
present street sweepers had become the wealthy
and the honored, and the scions of prin
ces of to-day were then the hewers of wood and
- drawers or water to their proud ancestors' ser
vants. The names of the nouveaux rimes had
long' faded fom the, memory of , man, and the
paurre' diable had carved his name deep upon
the 'walls of. the temple of Time. Loves and
- bates, ',joys and cares, old plays by new actors,
true . hearts and. tiortlid gizzards flitted- as of
yore, hod be ever "in an instantaneous
view," as a Photographer would say, before our
propheti6 eyes. The world had forgotten that
Bennett was a lying Seotchman, that Greeley
wore one boot outside of his pants, and the other
-anywhere, that,a man named Stewart made
thousands by government contracts, and handed
hundreds back, that Brooks Brothers had a
clothing store, corner of Broadway and Grand
Ste;, that, the Pewter Mug ever existed. that
,rcrnande Wood was un-orthographically called
a PEACE„ plan, plan, beeanse like a, hungry-boy he
was ever crying, Aloud fur 4 a. piece.'
What will become of all the omnibus horses in
the future world? Verily they must have sin

THE SticcEss'L-THE
REst:Lirs.—The Lathes' Fair for the benefit of
the Christian Commission closed on Saturday
evening. The spirit which projected it seemed
to pervade its management until thti close, and
the consequence is a success unprecedented by
any similar exhibition, ever held in this part of
the State- Where so many were engaged in
this noble undertaking, and performed the parts
entrusted to them with so much alacrity and
zeal, it would be invidious to make distinctions
of merit. We need therefore only say that
Ifand every one is entitled to a full measure
d praise, and may justly feel in their hearts
that they bare done a large part in the great
work of the - Commission. The general direc
tion' of the Fair in its various details was ex=
ercised by Mrs; Gen. Couch, who is the' chief
Executive officer of the Ladies' Aid Society,
and her responsible trust was discharged most
acceptably and successfully.
The main room of Franklin Hall was devoted
to the sale_ of an almost indescribable Variety of
articles in art, science and natare. Fair hands
vied with each other in the production of works
for ornament and use; the confectioner's skill
exhibited beuVul specimens of his peculiar
art; trophies an& relies, from fields of battle
told 'of deadly strife, and grounds made sacred
in the holiest of causes: and Flora with her
richest tints and most gracious perfirrees was
present in some of the choicest specimens of
her beauties. A feature of the room was the
Post Office, which . ,did a heavy business in dis
pensing missives of love, invitations to contrib
ute freely to the Fair, &c. The Post
Mistresses did their parts admirably. An elee
tion_poll also attracted considerable attention:
Fotfive•cents one could, vote for any favorite
person for the Presidency. The chief candi
dates were "'Father Abraham " and '"eittle
liac," the former coming out largely ahead.
Mr. Reed-invited votes in the most seductive
style, and his receipts added a good sum to the
general treasury. ;
In one of the large rooms of the third story
of the Hall was the 'Museum. It contained
many fine paintings, some of great value, tro.;
phies of the war, flags, autographs &c.. Messrs.
WCitlloh and Nixon had charge of this De
partment, and were well patronized..
The display in the Hall of the Court House was'
very attractive. Splendid Cakes and Refresh:
ments of various kinds abounded. Meals were
furnished during the day to those who desired
them, and some of the fairest of our ladies
waited upon their customers in the most gra
dons and hospitable manner; We might here
_remark that each one of the Ministers of oar
town • received a splendid cake, purchased by
contributions to this department of the Fair for
the purpose. The sums required were solicit
ed by ladies from friends. without regard to
sect, and spoke happily of -the generous feeling
.whieh prevailed. _
The Fair proper closed on Friday - morning,
all the articles remaining for sale having been
removed from Franklin Hall to the' Court Hall
the former building being intended for the Old
Folks' Concerts to come off on that mid thefol
lowing evening. As an evidence of the success
of these TifturiCal entertainments We-peed only
say thAt ,the receipts were nearly /470 d. Mr
Geo. B. Ayres was the conductor and the
,
the`lrattlitin ilepositorn, June 22,
ies andgentlemen - who personated the vari
ous characters did their parts admirably. It
would be ungrateful in us not to remember with
thanks the kind assistance rendered us,by some
of our neighbors from abroad, in the concert;
and we will be excused in mentioning the names I
of Mrs. Halm and her daughter Miss Julia Hahn
from Hagerstown. As professional artists they '
took a prominent position, and sustained the
reputation - they fold in their own home.
The nett receipts of the Fair enterprise, from
all sources, will reach $3,000.. A. detailed state
ment will be e public by the lady trea-.
surer, in n xt week's aper.
And tiMs t, has closed another evidence of our -
regard for our sick and wounded soldiers. The
Amount passes into the, hands of a noble associ
ation, who are exerting every effoil conducive
to the comfort and relief of those who have been
maimed in fighting our battles, or whom disease
has prostrated in the discharge of duty. And
so we hope that the noble ladies who have so
disinterestedly and successfully conducted this
enterprise, and all who encouraged it by their
means and good words, may know, as they pass
through life, that, iu this work at least, they
have merited Heaven's blessings.
We are requested to add that, as a comple
tion of this work, it is intended to have a series
of Tableaus in Franklin Hall shortly, a nd whir j h
we can assure the public will be of the great
interest. The time of the eihibition will be
duly announced.
GOOD RECORD.—On Tuesday last we had
the pleasure of meeting a young man from Fan
nettshhrg by the name of Thomas Wood, who
enlisted in the service of his country in the be
ginning of the war; was just -in the three
mouths' service, and last in the three year ser
vice, served as a private in the famous Penn
sylvania Reserve Corps, Was all
. through the
Peninsula campaign under Gen. M'Clellan, in
the battles of South Mountain and Antietam,
under Geu. Burnside at Fredericksburg, under
Gen. Hooker at Chancellorsvilie, under Gen.
Meade at Gettysburg and 10.4 under Gen, Grant
in all the hard fought battleS since , the army
crossed the Rapidan until it Crossed the Pa
munkey. Mr. Wood has been in thirty-two
hard fought battle and skirmishes. and in many
other skirmishes that until the present war,
were considered seuers battles. He 'comes
home unscathed except the marls of a slight.
wound received in the foot. He talks intelli
gently of the battles he has been in, is plain and
unassuming in his manners, and seems to have
no other ambition than .to serve his cotintry,
faithfully. "Well done good and faithful ser
vant."
DEATH OF CAPT. S. R. 31.'KEssoN.—We
regret to record the death of our esteemed fel
low-citizen, Capt. S. R. M'Kesson, which oc
curred at'his residence in this place, on Satur
da,•; morning last. Capt. 3:Pliesson at one time
commanded Co. A, 77th Regt. P. V., and proved
himself a true 'soldier. He was an earnest
Democrat and last Fall received the nomination
of his party for Register and Recorder At the
election, however, he was defeated by the pre:s
-e*lneumbent of the office, Harry Strickler,
Esq. Capt. ivrKesson was an honest, upright
man, faithful in all the varions_duties of life, and
possessing the confidence and esteem_ of the
community. He died of Consumption, after an
illness of several months. On Sunday last his
remains were interred in the Cemetery, attend
ed by the Masons and Odd _Fellows and a large
concourse of citizens. -
LIBERAL CONTRIBGTIONS.- tne Ladies'
Aid Society of Mercersburg cleared $219,03 by'
their Strawberry Festival, and raised $780,94
by contributions—all of IA Ilia has been for
warded, to the Christian Commission. Well
•
done for Mereersbtirg.
Waynet=boro is about to hold a Fair Ms.°. and
will fall but little if any behind nercersburg
in the good work.
Antrim township hits already forwarded some
$ll6O in cash to the Sanitary Commission, and
liberal contributions have been made of produce
besides.
The Valley has forwarded generous donations
in cash and necessary articles, and we doubt
not that every section of the county has. in•
some wav or other, sent it; gifts to aid our sick
and wounded heroes.
A NEW DEAFT.—Anutber draft v.lll b'e made
on Tuesday, the sth of duly, for the counties of
Adams, Bedford and Fulton. and on Tuesday,

This draft will be made for deficiencies nn the
call for 700,000 men—that is to make each dis
trict furnish its quota.of men either by personal
service, substipes or cemolutation'money. The

LOOK FOR THE FLAG.--The splendid Union
Pole in the Diamond-will have t hetong streamer
flying at the top all the" - titne ; but the large
Flag will be hoikited only when we have cheer

people in , Chambersburg and vicinity see the
large Flag flying, there Aire, they Can safely con
clude that Glint is still moving suceessfUlly
against the enemy's lines,• or that Sherman is
making Johnston repeat his remarkable stra
getic movements by which he always surren
ders a good share of. Georgia. 'Look out for
the Flag !
Wotri4DED.--Lieut. Robert. P. APKitibin, of
the regular army, and formerly a resident of
this place, was seriously " wounded in the late

Contradiction.
We copy the following telegraph. -dispatch
from yesterday's daily papers: , _
11sweas, N. J., June 29.
A private letter from a supposed, reliable
source, states," that the one hundred' days'
men at Trenton are under marching orders for
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.' A small force of
rebels bent on destruction is stated to have ca
tered the Cumberland., Valley. • They are re
ported to be the advance guard of n large de
tachment.
' - "CHiMBRESBURG, Pa., dude 20.
Gen. Couch knows nothing of the hundred
lays' men being ordered td Harrisburg, and he
devos -it tole a lie, The Cumberland Valley
.vas never.more quiet than it is to-day:
[The above is evidently a stock-gambling op-
Tation, as the , most thorough inquiry shows
hat there was not the shadow of foundation for
he dispatch. Yett.erday .at noon the lines of
he Ifulfimore and Ohio Railroad were nninter
:upted, and no information could be had at any,
2mint of it being even threatened: We hope to
)e able to explain this-16443i fully in our next
ssue. At present-i 1 is only proper to say, that
Jut for the . promptness of Gen. - Couch in cutting
the gamblers'..stipplies, there woald doubt
,ess have been a brilliant panic in some of the
"fancies" on fhe stock board yeaterdhy- par
ticularly in Cumberland REPOSI
