LOCAL AFFAIRS,

talked of through the country towns, it be-
ing desirable to remove them from the cit
les during the hot weather Some ineui
ries have been made here as to our capacity
for afording room.-The young man
whose death by lightning we noticed last
week, was Wilson Harman, son of Isaac.
aged about 20 years. He was killed on
the farm of S. W. Taylor, deceased. ed.-A
corps Of engineers commenced surveying
the lines for the projected railroad to the
valley, and we suppose as soon as they are
through operations will be commenced on
this end of the road The river bridge
will either have to be purchased or new
one erected.-High Constable Miller has
returned number of parties for obstruc
tions on the streets and alleys, and is get
ting them into some kind of order, a move
in which all good citizens ought to support
him, as this converting public property
to private use has been carried to an un
warrantable extent. The greatest nuisance
on the streets now is number Of COWS
whose owners are "pasturing and stablng"
them on the streets. Why not drive them
out of town, during the day at least?
NATIONAL HORSE FAIR-The Annual
Exhibition of horses for the United States
will be held at Williamsport, in this State,
in September next, when admirers of this
noble animal can probably see better col
lection than may be met with again for
many years, except at the expense Of long
Journeys.
RELEASED PRISoNERs-Samuel Tice
and Geo, w. Threlked, the last of the
men from this place held as prisoners by
the rebels for nearly year, returned home
on Sunday morning, looking quite well,
and were warmly welcomed By their friends.
These prisoners had not been paid since
their enlistment, and now receive in pay,
rations, &c. about $500 each, sum which,
If well husbanded, may prove good start
iug point in life

A correspondent of the Press, speaking of
the heat of the weather in the camp before
Richmond, says: Most of the regiments are
somewhat protected from SoPs rays by the
foliage of the woods in which they are en-
camped. Other regiments were compelled to
put up shelter, or suffer. The 10th Pa
Regt. is unanimously allowed to have the
finest encampment in this vicinity. Large
aFbors, covered with green foliage, have been
erected by the men, under which the respec
tive companies assemble, and the men lie
during the day when there is no work on
hand. Each tent has its entrance protected
by bower of similar material, and the effect
IS to give the camp very pretty and pictur-
esque appearance.
