travelling this route, which was long ago pro-

A WILD CAT REGIMENT "A regiment of
lumbermen in camp at Harrisburg, Penn,
must be "Some persimmons,' according to
the account of them in the Philadelphia
North american. Their skill with the rifle is
a touch above extra. The entire lives of the
men are spent in the pineries of Potter and
Elk counties, except when they are engaged
in rafting, and their only pastime is with the
rife, which brings the smallest as we'll as the
largest game to their feet. The use of small
shot they consider unworthy the skill of
hunter They bring down squirrel from the
top of pine so lofty that the game is scarce
ly visible TO ordinary eyesight. The men in
their daily work of cutting timber, receive
more or less axe wounds, and for this reason
several of them were rejected on inspection.
They grumhled immensely at their rejection,
and are determined to fight, and for this pur-
pose are seeking admission to other regi-
ments. One man who was rejected lost his
temper, and offered to bet the inspector that
he would walk fifty miles without
complaining of WEAKNESS, and not eat or
drink anything until the work was accom-
plished. More than this, be offered to
double the first wager that he could pierce
the eve of jeff. Davis. or any other traitor,
with his rifle. at a distance of $50 yards.
The inspecting officer was so impressed by
the mans remonstrance against rejection
that he declined the bet, and ordered him to
fall back into the ranks. Five of the rejected
men exhibited their skill with the rifle, at
Philadelphia, by knocking five cent piece
from split stick at the distance of $50
yards. The 'sWild Cat' Regiment if COM
posed of such fellows, is evidently "big
thing"

THE FORBES TRoUPE.-Mr. and Mrs. w. c..

gave couple of dramatic entertainments in the
Theater at this place on Wednesday and Thurs

and "Hamlet"-in both of which the principal
Forbes, with great ability. They have both re-
ceived training in severe yet elevated school of
the histrionlc art and if they do not entirely
come up to the expectations of the vulgar, they
never C use the '.judicious to grieve." Both are
classical and correct in their delineations of
character-Mrs. Forbes possessing in voice, ges-
ture and person, the accomplishments necessary
for complete success as an actress. Her rendi-
ton of the Italian Wife beautiful piece of
acting which gained her great applause; and
while her Hamlet may be considered remarkable,
as the performance of a woman still one cannot
forget that ii IS a acoman, deficient in physical
power-however skillful in graceful action-and
consequently in many passages unequal to a
complete rendering of the authors conception.
But meritorious people in the profession gen.
orally, we take pleasure in commencing Mr.. and
Mrs. Forbes. They are worthy of support in
any country and among any people.

REPUBLICAN MEETING.-The political cam
.paign was inaugurated here by speeches
from A. A. Sargent, Esq, candidate for Con-
gress, and Col. James Collins, for the AS
sembly, on Tuesday evening last. A popular
dramatic troupe opened the Theater the
same evening, which divided the population,
and prevented either from having as large
an audience as was desired. The fact is, ga
prophet hath honor except in his own
country Mr.. Sargent will draw large crowds
in any other county than this, where he has
so long resided, by whose people he has
frequently been heard, and to whom he is so
favoTably known, that they are willing to
take him as the drowsy pew-holder took the
preacher. "He could trust himself 10 slum-
ber, he said, "under parson DIS teachings,
because they were known to be sound but
when stranger occupied the pulpit, it was
necessary to remain awake and watch him"
There will be no great amount of enthus-
iasm during the campaign. The heart of
the people is not in politics. The loyal citi-
zen is solicitous only for the safety of the
Union, and is watching with painful anxiety
each movement that is made by the hostile
and threatening armies on the Atlantic side.
The time has arrived for reflection without
enthusiasm and that is the mood in which,
we think, the voters will be found, pretty
much all over the State The chief duty

Capt. Batters5y, Strive have used the Le-

weeks, and find it to be what it is recommended.
1t produces splendid light, is easily managed,
and at the present price of fluid, one-half, or
less than that of coal oil, we consider it a
cheap and agreeable light. For reading it has
no superior. FRANCHERE & BUTLER.

The Leclair Lamp-I prefer the light given
by this Lamp to that given by candle coal oil,
camphene, kerosine, or gas. 1t is far pleasanter
and cheaper than either, and perfectly free from
danger. The very fact of it being non-explosive
should recommend it to all who nse lights.
