SAD.-On Friday night, 30th ult., a
man named VIM. Hartness, of Pine town
ship, Indiana county, was frozen to death
near his own residence. He had been to
Armagh during the day, and procuring a
quantity of whiskey, he imbibed immod-
erately. On his way home, he became
stupefed and laid DOWN by the roadside,
where he perished from the effects of the
Geld and the poisonous liquor combined

,rtrnct from a private letter, dated

CAMP PIERpoINT, VA, Dec. 8, 1861.
Up to this time, the 18th regiment has
been out twice, in company with other
regiments, on reconnoitering excursions,
otherwise foraging expeditions. On the
latter of these, we marched within few
miles of Drainesville, the I'd brigade in
front. Our train consisted of ffty-four
four horse wagons. Companies A and B
of the 11th were detailed as wagon guards,
that is to say, as a guard to "eonfscate"
the plunder. The rest of the regiment
vent out as pickets and scouting parties.
We met no enemy in force.
We took, suppose, about five hundred
bushels of corn, one hundred bushels of
potatoes, twenty-five o. thirty hogs, quite
an amount of wheat, an ox-team and a
number of horses. Besides these, several
private appropriations of turkeys, chick
ems ducks, and other necessaries of camp
life also occurred. Gunnell is the name
Of the late owner of the confscated prop
erty. He is a prominent member in the
Rebel Confederaey.
This is a delightful climate. The
weather is warm and dry. The effective
troops on this side the Potomac are in
better condition and better spirits than
any time since they crossed the river
Company A, as a general thing, enjoys
good health.
SILVER GRAYs.-We find the follow
ing notice concerning the Cambria county
Silver Grays in the Harrisburg Telegraph
Of Friday last {:
Captain Palmer marched into the city this
morning from Camp Curtin, with the view of
being mustered into the service of the United
States, but as the ages of the members were
considerably over the limit fixed by law, the
mastering officer, Capt. Dodge, postponed
that duty until he received further orders
from Washington, The "Grays" then re-
turned to Camp Curtin, where they Will re-
main until the question of their acceptance is
determined by the proper authorities.
Inasmuch as the formation of this COM
pany was countenanced by the State au-
thorities-Gov. Curtin having given his
express approval to tive think it would
be indeed bad policy to refuse to accept
its services. The officers and members,
Who experienced much Inconvenience
in the premises, got up the organization
with the express understanding that it
vas to add its efforts to help save the Re-
public, and their patriotic desires should
not be interfered with now. We hope to
hear of the Silver Grays being "sworn in"
at the earliest practicable moment.

A CURIOSITY OF THE CENSUS. There is
one parish in England which has increased
its population during the last decennial
period no less than 100 per cent. The
parish of Aldrington, near Brighton, was
the only parish that returned in the GEN.
sus of 1851 a single unit of population.
The parish is entirely agricultural. 1t
was for centuries without house. When
the road from Brighton to Shoreham was
made turnpike, itpleased the trustees Of
the road to erect a toll-bar in the parish,
and the dollhouse, of course, had an occu.
pant. Thus the census of 1854 gave the
population as zone" The census Of 1861
shows population Of the same parish Of
"two," an increase, as we have said, Of
100 per cent. The pikeman has taken to

HISTORY OF THE "CoLT,s. The real
inventor of the new and world-f famous
Colt pistol is Otis w. Whittier, New
England mechanic, now working by the
day in the railroad and machine shops Of
Harrisburg, Pa. 1t was in 1887, while
living in Enfield, N. H., that he made
the original invention, and got his pat
ent. He Immediately commenced the
manufacture of the arm, but at the end
Of two years was Frustrated by q fire,
which destroyed all his stock and ma
chinery. and left him poor, and unable to
start afresh. In 1851 he procured q re-
newal of his patent, and in the same year
sold it for $4,000 to Henry B. Beach and
Samuel Woodruff of Hartford, who in
turn sold it to Samuel Colt, by whom it
has been worked up to its present great
renown, and to whom it has returned an
immense fortune. 81

be sure remembered the poor, preached

Churches once meek. humble, Christ

shone brightly, that looked upon the choir
system, instrumental music in the house
of God, building costly, ornamental
churches, renting pew-seats under the
hammer, sitting idly and indolently in
prayer-time, singing by proxy, &C., as
little better than sacrilege or blasphemy,
have gradually yielded the palm, fallen
into the popular wake, Give us king

right! 1t is fashion. Going to church
now in silver Slippers, with gold rings,

IScIDENcE--Wc cannot help recording it
as singular coincidence that Thursday
the 18th INST, which is to be observed as
a day Of fasting and prayer in the rebel

From the Cheshire Republican
New Article for a Bed.
We had an opportunity the other day of exam
lining model of the new Spring Bed, recently
invented by Mr.. Thomas Tolman, of Fitchburgh,
Mass, and which is so highly recommended by
those who have used it in Lowell Nashua,
Fitchburgh, etc 1t looks like first rate thing.
1t is made somewhat on the principle of a pair of
belows-air tight at the bottom, with the excep-
ton of holes with . clappers'' over them to
| admit the air when the pressure is taken from the
top of the bed. When the pressure is again made
upon the top, by movement of persons sleeping,
the "cappers'' close, and the air is forced out
through the upper part or'' stuffng' of the bed,
which is porous, thus continually ventiating it
and keeping it free from all impurities. The
upholstry is set upon spiral springs, braced so
perfectly as to render it impossible for them to
slip out of place and the filing is made of either
hair moss, or prepared husks as any one may
desire. 1t is certainly very perfect bed, and its
invention reflects much credit upon the ingenuity
of Mr. T0man.
We are also gratifed to refer to few of those
who have used these beds in St. Adams and vi

THE WHERRYMAN.--The vegetarian
wherryman, D. U. Martin, arrived IN the
quiet waters of the Delaware, at Phila-
delphia, on Thursday last. Since the
18th of May, when he pulled away from
Boston, he has been buffeting the waters
of the Atlantic, of Long Island Sound,
the Raritan and Delaware, in skiff twen-
ty-one feet long by twenty mine inches
wide. Just before reaching New York he
experienced very heavy storm, and was
obliged to back his boat for nearly three
miles, at great risk. The greatest mile
age in any one day was from Holmes
Hole, near Boston, to Stonington, eighty
miles. Martin intends to take trip up
the Juniata canal next, and in course Of
time will visit the seat of war all alone
in his little boat as soon as the proceed
ing would be a safe onc.-Atlas j. Bee.

treason of the Cecil members of the Legisla

which they are at present feasting on bread

recent period, we would represent this Peace
party by Il rather lean, prematurcly old gen
tleman, dressed in sccdy garments, wearing
an anxious and Responding look, telling
every passcr-by, whose ear he could catch,
that he was "good Union man," and that
he represented a ''great policy of peace"
that his ancestors were all Democratic. and
that he was the only legal and legitimate
heir to the patrimony left by that great party
when it was assassinated by the Cotton State
conspiracy, at Charleston. And as people
passed the old gentleman, his teeth chatter

should be written, Departed this life the 9th

the Tory party of the Revolution, that left
no effort unimproved to assist the British

nation talked of appealing to arms in vindi

member of the family was heard crying
