JoHNsTowN, June 9, 1862.
To tho Editor Of The AHeghanian:
The past week has been most delight
full one, and the young folks hereabout.
appeared determined to make the most of
it while it lasted A fishing party, par
ticipatcd in by several young friends o.
mine, was gotten up, and quite delight
FIJI time was had. The fish, however, it
appears were not very plenty, but brisk
shower coming up about the time the par
ty were starting homeward, they were
drenched completely. Thus: if they did
not catch any fish, they certainly succeed
ed in catching lots Of ''duck."
A Picnic is to come off on Wednes-
day at Nineveh, few miles below town.
1t promises to be large affair.
John Fredericks, an assistant in the
Quartermaster's Department of Banks ar
my, is home on furlough. He thinks
there are few men who, under the circum-
stances, could have conducted retreat
to a more successful termination than did
Gen. Banks Lieut. Wehn, of Capt. Lin
toms company, is also home on brief
furlough.
A company is being formed here, for
service in case another requisition is made
for more troops. The Governor purposes
furnishing them with arms when they
number thirty-four men. Twenty-eight
have already been enlisted, and l think
there will be no difficulty in securing the
required number.
| am inclined tc the belief that Johns
town is becoming an exceedingly moral
place Of late. Take for illustration, that
| at our recent Quarter Sessions we only
succeeded in sending up" one candidate
for criminal honors, whereas at terms
prior we generally supplied that commodi-
Gus institution yclept Jail with the major
proportion of It's inmates. II.

A WOUNDED SoLDIER-Mr. John Lis
ter, of Jackson township, this county,
who was wounded at the battle of Shiloh
and has been at home on furiough since,
we are happy to say is rapidly recovering
from his injuries. He visited town on
Saturday, and was gladly received by his
many friends and sympathizers. He gives

battle, and speaks in glowing terms OF the
noble bearing of his company-Co, Z,

throughout the fight. Mr.. L. was woun-
ded in the leg by musket-ball during

unconscious of having received any hurt
at the time being He says he expert
enccd a peculiar sensation merely, as ii
he had sustained kick on the leg from
soldier in the ranks behind him, and
thought nothing more of the matter. lie
fought on, firing some seven or eight
rounds thereafter, when he discovered, by
the trickhng blood, that he was wounded.
He Immediately grew weak and faint, and
sinking to the ground, remained in state
Of insensibility for several hours. He
was afterwards removed from the field, his
wound cared FOR, and he released on fur

probably experience no serious results

and entire recovery.

\ RUMoR CoNTRADICTED.-We last
week gave publicity through these col
unns to current report that Mr.. Robert
Davis, of the 18th regular infantry, and
formerly of this place, had been killed in
recent skirmish with the Rebels in Vir-
ginia. Since then, the friends of the sup
posed deceased have made inquiry at the
proper quarter, and ascertained that the
rumor is unfounded An officer of the
regiment writes that report was in cir
culation over month ago to the effect as
above, bat that it had been disproved.-
Another link in the chain OF rebutting
evidence is this-that the friends of Mr.
Davis have received letters from him writ
leu since the period of his supposed de-
mise. We are happy to make the correc-
ton, and hope that the subject of this
notice may live long enough at least to
return home at the end Of the war and
give US ocular demonstration of his sub
luuary existence.

INDIANA AND EBENsBURG TURNPIKE.
We learn from the Indiana Messenger
that the Managers of the Indiana and
Ebensburg Turnpike still persist in un-
lawfully collecting tolls on said road, not
v:thstauding the fact that an act was
passed by the State Legislature last ses-
zion rcpea2iag an act authorizing said
company to collect tolls for certain Purpo-
ses. The Managers have no longer any
right to demand tolls, and if demanded
people may justly refuse to psy them, as
also cause the refunding Of any tolls an
lawfully collected. Herewith is,a certi-
fed copy Of the act to such effect:
In Act to repeal an Act entitled Supple
ment TO an Act 20 authorize the Managers

LEG OF MUTTON ROASTED.

A leg of mutton intended for roasting should
be kept longer than for boiling; it should be
carefully attended to during the time it is hung
up, constantly wiped to prevent any mustuess
gathering on the top and below the flap, and in
hot weather lightly busted with flour or pepper
10 keep off the flies. The kernel in the fat on
the thick part OF the leg should be taken out
by the butcher, for it taints first there; and the
bloody part of the neck should also be cut off
when first brought in
Remove the thick skin very carefully; trim
off the piece of flank that adheres to the fat,
and fatten the fat with cutlet-beater or chop
per cut off the knuckle, and nick the cramp
bone, to allow it to become more plump, as in
haunch. Put little salt and water into the
dripping pan TO paste the meat at frst but
then use only its own gravy. Serve with jelly.
A leg of mutton is usually roasted who'll,
but can be divided advantageously for small
family. Cut the knuckle into a good sized
Joint, and boil it until tender; but put coarse
part over the lower part of the thick end to
keep in the gravy, and roast it or if the skin
be raised gently from the outside of the leg to
about six or seven inches wide, two or three
good slices may be cut off for steaks, and the
then fastened down with skewers.-Cook Book.
