Jews who have of latter years fascinated
the world by their musical genius: Strauss,
Meyerbeer, Henri Herr, Mendelssohn,
Sctuloff, Haleyy, were all Jews, as Is Offen-

'sOrphee aux Enfers," indicates SC. much
musical genius. Rachel was also Jewess.

election, at the report that a Confederate
privateer, the Georgiana, had been fitted
out to prey on lake commerce. The follow

shows how little reliance was to be placed
in its truth. tanswered the purpose Of an

visit to Harrisburg, we had opportu-
mites of witnessing the efficiency of
Mr.. Major in conducting the working
department of the commissary at
Camp Curtin, and Of hearing unquali-
fed appreciation bestowed on him by
the soldiers, who thus far we believe
have never found fault with has doings.
Mr.. NJ. has in great measure made
himself, having been first employed in
Slaughtering cattle and weighing out,
then from one position to another, un-
til his services became almost indispen
sable. His son George has also be-
come fixture in the camp, and little

ADVICE TO VoLUNTEERs.--If you can
get any, bounty at home, don't credit
Yourself to cities or other counties.
We know personally that all their rep
resentations about relief are heartless
lies, and we know also that swindIers
and thieves there are numerous, and
many man will find himself either
robbed or defrauded Take your own
county, and yourself and family will
fare better.
FRUITS, VEGETABLES, &C.-E. Swain
keeps the finest assortment of the
above named articles in town, as well
as the largest variety. If you desire
vegetables for domestic purposes, fruits
or melons for desert, or anything of
like nature that is good, go to Swain's,
and you cannot go home unsatisfed.
Or if you are in want Of Soaps, Con
