In view of the fact that our citizens did not to any great exteut contribute to the lato Thanksgiving turkey-benefit to our oldiers, would it not be a happy idea in them to do something after the gustatory line for the "boys" the approaching holi days, and thus redeem themselves from any imputations of avarics and uncharita blencss that might otherwise be brought gainst them?

Applications' should be correct ly made out, attested by the Secretary of the board, and forwarded to the chairman of tho proper County Committee, from whom blanks for this purpose can be ob tained. Great care should be taken that names, dates, &c, are correctly given. The chairman of the Committee should immediately add his certificate to these applications, if correct, and forward them to Dr. Thomas II. Burrowes, Superinten dent of Orphans, Lancaster, Penna. He need not call together the Committee for this purpose, as the certificate of the School Directors who live in the same township with the applicant is the best evidence as to the necessary facts he can get. Each member of the Committee, as well aa each public-spirited citizen, should cheerfully atid promptly aid in securing to those entitled to it the full benefit of this just and beneficent measure.

A Era Haul of" Deserters. On Sunday night last, Provost Marshal Jas. C. Burke, assisted by a squad of soldiers, executed a raid on the deserting conscripts resident iu Carroll township, thi3 county, of whom there are many thereabout. Great success attended his movement, as no fewer than seven arrests theu and there made will attest. Six of those arrested were non-reporting conscripts, whose names are Anthony Mauler, Henry Lu ther, John lliegcr, Robert Campbell, and two others. The other one arrested was Mr. Henry Hopple, a wealthy Gcrmanv who i charged with the sefious crime of counseling resistance to the draft, advi sing drafted men to not report, and har boring deserters.' If found guilty, it will go hard with tho latter. The prisoners passed through here Monday, on their way to Provost Marshal headquarters, Ilollidaysburg. Court. No business of particular im portance was transacted in the Quarter Sessions of Cambria county last week. The ouly case whereiu any considerable interest appeared to be manifested, that of tho Comth. vs. Col. Win. K. Piper, was continued. The case of tho Comth. vs. Janles Updegraff, George Updegrafi and David Johuston, three boys of about ten years each, for petty larceny, resulted in the acquittal of the defendants. In the case of the Comth. vs. Hush Hawkins, a conductor on the Pennsylvania Hail road, for assault and battery upon the person of a passenger, the jury found defendant not guilty, and the prosecutor to pay the costs.

" S. LEMMOM AND TUB CHAP 1AIXCY OF THE REGIMENT, C, AC. Meade's Station, Va., Dec. 5. Correspondence of The Alleghanian. When I last wrote you, wo had just got located on the extreme left of the lines of Maj.-Gen. Meade. Thinking we would there remain for some time, everybody went to work building quarters suitable to the season j but scarcely were the tents stretched ere we were ordered to move towards the right. On Wednesday, about midday, we started on the march, arriving at our present position some time after dark the same day. Our. location ia on the Artuy lino railroad, south by west of Petersburg, and distant about two and a half miles therefrom. Though we form part of the 9th corps, and have taken the place of the colored troops formerly com posing the third division, yet we are not permanently assigned any position, being still staled tho "Provisional brigade." The brigade commander is Bng.-Gen. Hartranft, formerly Colonel of the 51st Pennsylvania.' The colored regiments before spoken cf have taken our place in the defences ol Bermuda Hundred. Since their advent, there has been almost continuoua firing on the picket lins. None but white troops now compose the Army of the Potomac. How long we may remain in our present position can hardly be guessed at, but even though it be the intention for us along with other portions of the army to remain where we now are, yet, judging from signs that are significant, there will soon be movements initiated here of no ordinary character. Some time since, a "call" was made on the Rev. Mr. Lemmon, pastor of the Eb ensburg M. E. church, to officiate aa Chap lain for this regiment, but, although sig nifying his intention of accepting the tender made him, he has not as yet arrived upon the scene of his labors. v hen he comes, welcomed as he will be by all, b.3 will find before him an ample field of labor. A crood Chaplain, one. competent, worthy and willing, is of all men in a regiment the most useful, and it is just such a Chaplain aa this that we are confident the present choice of the reci ment will prove. May he soon be with us. The air is clear, cool, and bracing. In the morning, the frost covers evervthins m O exposed to the night, but the sun soon makea the day pleasant as ono could well wish. The health of Co. C continues not only ! good, but excellent. Gamma. Ebensburg markets. f CAREFULLY CORRECTED EACH WEEK, j iiour txtra family, A bbl ..Slo.Ou 2.25 1.50 Wheat, buiLel.
