with it our true find heartfelt wishes for his
future honor, welfare and prosperity.
Resolved, That (be proceedings of this meet
ing tje published in the Altoona Tribune.
After the Resolutions had been read. Col.
Lombaert returned thanks for the honor confer
red upon him in a few brief but pertinent re
marks. As he spoke entirely on the spur of the
mpment, without previous preparation, rtnd as
we were unable, on account of the crowd, to make
report on.the spoti we arc compelled’ to
trust to oar memory for the substance.
He commenced by saying that he was no
speeohmsker, as nil present knew, however he
houldnot be otherwise than highly gratified at
this manifestation by the employees of the Road. :
Dttjring .aU the time that he occupied the post of
General Superintendent, it had always been his
earnest hare and desire, that perfect’ harmony
and concert of action should exist .between the
•ffioera «d employees of the Road. That :it
was to this harmony and concert of action that
the unexampled success and high character of
the rqad is to be attributed. That the honor of
(his success and the f establishment of su h a
eharaoter for the was not due to one class
of the Company’s employees alone, bat to all-*
officers and employees alike. This he had al
ways, In all his reports and commnnlcations, dis
tinctly laid down. Ho claimed for himself no
credit on this score, for unless his subordinates
had earnestly co-operated with him, his exer
tions would have been fruitless.
He then said that be did not feel os if he was
taking leave of the employees. He had' only
released himself from severe and in fu
ture mean't to work less and travel more. That
they would ofteh see him, and if they did not,
they Would at see his name appended to
their cheek* once every mouth In leaving them
at this time he eageoiallv recomirmniW M.o— t—
!<■*•••* rvpteTS&mwy and concert of action that
exiated up to this time./ That an employee

road, needed no higher recommendation than
that hehad Wen an Employee of the Pa. B.fjß.
Co., in good standing. lie hoped they
never do anything, to render any other rccom*'.
mendation necessary. / '
He then said that he thought that .there WW -
a misapprehensios in the minds pf'the employ
ew in reference to the President of the Hoad,
Mr. Thompson. He eonld assure them that
11s. T. was a kind-hearted and gentleman]/ bf
llcar, wjho bad the comfort and welfare of the
employees as much at heart aa he had. /That;
fflonths ago, some dissatisfaction
waa jfelt by them at the redaction of the wages,
theyehonld remember that that redaction ope
rated ttpon all the servants of the company, from
the President down. That his (Mr. L’s) salary
wm reduced $l,OOO by that order. That al-
though it teemed hard, yet he hoped that they
would aU-cheerfuUy put up with it for the time
being, and that as soon as the financial difficul-
ties which prompted the reduction have cleared
away, the wages would be put back to the old
standard. He could assure them of this, as Mr.
Thinwon had positively given him his word to
that affect, nod .whatever Mr. Thomson promised
h# would perform. He wished them nil to
•WUh. ifihfldadeet feelings toward* Mr - Th©4^
eon,a*v!thorewaa oo bettcrrallroaderln the
Country nor oile wholtad the interest «f lua
■nbordhntH mere at heart.
i Ho ifadn skid that bis Eosoessor, Col. T. A.
Scott, wofl well worthy of their confidence* and
respect. He was a man veil qualified for ibe
post, and he bad no doubt that he weald prove
a most popular officer. He' know him and could
truthfully saj that he bad the best interests of his
subordinates at heart. Whatever might torn up,
they should first go to Mr. Scott, as be woulddo
everything that was right, and settle everything
to the satisfaction of all parties. If he can not
settle nay matter satisfactorily it must be a most
serious One indeed. He (Mr. L.) hoped that
they would always cherish the best of feeling
towards Mr, Scott, and act in concert with him.
At any rate he (Mr. S.) was well worthy of it.
He again returned thanks for the hopor con
ferred; npon him, and said that he would like to
shake hands with all the employees present, Imt
as that was impossible, he must eontent him
self with shaking hands with those only who
stood near him.
The Baud then played a tune, during which
Col. Lombaert, shook hands with all who could
reach him.
After the music ceased, three hearty cheers,
.were given for Mr. Lombaert; three , more for
the President of the Bond, Mr. Thomson; three
.more for Mr. Scott, and three for the Pa. R. R.
Co. The Marshals then formed the procession
info line, after which, preceded by the Band, it
marched to the Logan Rifle' Rangers’ Armory,
where the members were .dismissed.
Some 600 men matched in the procession, and
to their credit be it said,rth? best harmony
characterised the whole proceedings. Every one
seemed desirous of testifying their respect and
esteem for Mr. LombaertAwho, without any flat
tery, during his service auyQeneral Superintcu
tendent, discharged the duties of the' office in
such a manner as to promote the best interests
of the road and its employees, the whole of the
latter of whom he has endeared to himself by a
•• thousand nameless ties”—tbit of friendship.
Concert fok the Besktit or the Poor.—Oo
Friday evening last,'we attended the concert for
the benefit of the poor, given in the West Ward
Schoolroom. To shy that the room was crowd
ed would but faintly convey on idea of the ex
tent to which it was filled. It was completely
packed, there being scarcely room for the musi
cians to perform upon their instruments. W’e
think no more forcible argument could be used
in furor of a Town Hall, than to pack those of
our citizens, who have the means to erect a suit
able building, into such a crowd, on every occa
s.on of a public meeting, conceit, exhibition,
Ac. It would have a 'tendency to induce them
to ” shell out,” if they prize comfort.
Owing to the crowded condition of the.room,
apd the talking, laughing and other disturban
ces created by a, number of boys, and, we are
sorry to add, a few who wish to be consider
ed young men, who decupled uneasy positions,
or paid no regard to the company they were in,
the pieces of music performed by Mr. E H.
Tamer, on the piano, and Messrs. Nagle, Ben •
net and others on Ihefiute, guitar, violin and vo
cally, though beautiful and performed without
a fault, could not be heard by one-half the au
dience. The Brass Band executed the pieces
selected for ibe occasion in a style highly cred
itable, considering the disadvantages under
which it labored. j
The Committee have handed os the following
statement of the expenditures of
the Concert, which shew that a handsome sum,
sufficient we think to meet all demands which
will be mode, upon the treasury this season, bus
been netted:

Rice, the Sibept Preacher.— Daring dlhe
last few days, a street preacher named Bice, of
the Seven-Day Baptist denomination, whom our
Martinsburg and Hollidaysburg correspondents
have heretofore noticed, has been lecturing our
citizens at the street; comers and other places,
wherever he could cpllect a crowd, on his favo
rite topics, viz: culling Sunday the seventh day
of the week insteadof the first, against the use
of intoxicating beverages gnd tobacco. On Sun
day afternoon last, he collected a crowd on the
platfprm in front of the Logan House, and com
menced his harangue. In the course of his re
marks he gave offence to one of his hearers who
attempted to take his (Mr. B’s) staff from bin*
with the intention, it was supposed, of using it
upon the speaker.: ' This hostile demonstration
excited the anger of another of Mr. R’s
hearers, who forthwith “pitched in,” knocking
down and pumelling ' the assailant of the
preacher in scientific style. A general free
fight was then apparent, but fortunately foi; the
good name of our iown and the faces of some
of our citizens, the better judgment of those
present overcame , their passions and the affair
ended with the separation of the first combat
ants. Bicc is evidently a monomaniac on the
subjects dh which he lectures, and no good can
rsiul therefrom. On the contrary he only en
genders ill-feeling between persons of different
sects who ore weak-minded enough to allow .his
remarks to excite their passions. We have not
heard bf ! his obtaining any converts to lii» doc
# t i
trine} in this place,: nor do vfe think it likely that
he will. It would be advisable for him to “pull
up stakes” and migrate to a more congenial
clime, as we judge from the manner in which
the boys “roast” him as he travels along the
street, that Altoona’will soon be too hot for him.

. Argument Court.— An argument Court was
in session on Monday and Tuesday, of this
Week at Hbliidayeburg. The.business transac
ted consisted chiefly of motions'and presenting
of petitions-r-nothing of any interest save to the
parties. Plaintiff orttefendaa t, having transpired.
The case of the Penna. B. R. Co., versos W. J.
Sellers et al came up, on a motion for a new trial,
on the part of the Plff., but was not disposed of,
the Rfts. not being prepared ta argue it. The
Plff. asked a new trial, both because the verdict
woa against the charge of the Court and the ev
idence in the case. ' If either of these objections
are founded on fact, we suppose the motion will
be granted. The arguing, of fhe motion was
postponed until the next argument Court It is
a case of a good deal of importance, involving
several thousand dollars.
Thrown Off.- —The Hollidaysburg Brunch
train did not reach here this morning at the us
ual time, 6,60, having, when about a mile from
town, come in collision with a tree which the
storm had blown across the track, by which the
locomotive apd tender were thrown off the track.
Fortunately nobody ty ash art and but little dam
age was done. The tree mast have lodged on.
the track just immediately before the train
reached the spot, as the watchman had passed
over the track but a few minutes before and
found all right.

two of this valuable Pulmonary Balsam will, at
the onset of a Cough, aljay all irritation of the
Lungs, and hinder the development of Pulmo
nary Disease—Consumption is never Consump

you can hinder that condition of affairs, if you
take oar advice, and try a bottle of Dr. Keyset's
Pectoral Syrup. It is pleasant to take, and >
costs but half a dollar. Fpr sale by G. W. Kesi

Fatal Accident.— We learn from the Whig
of this week, that on Monday of lasi week, a
young lady named Mary Omerman, aged about
17 years, living with Mr. David Denny, near
•Tyrone City, in this county, while engaged in
boiling soap in the yard, was so severely burn
ed by her clothes taking fire, that she died the
some night.
Fousp.—Mr. George Mock, desires 119 |o in
form the public that he has in his possession a
lady’s gold ear drop, which he found on the
street, one day last week. The loser can hare
it by proving property, paying for this notice,
and faking it away, otherwise it will foe disposed
of According to law.
“ Injlns,”— On Friday last a delegation of
Chiefs, .Braves and Warriors of the Sioux tribe,
some thirty in number, passed through town, on
their way to Washington, to see their “great
father,’’the President. They were dressed in
their native costume, and looked as savage as
eould be desired. They were accompanied by
interpreters. 'V ' r ‘-"J

advise such of our readers to use Pireif. Wood’s
Hair Restorative, which will, in the course of a
few weeks, change the hair to its natural color.
It does not dye the hair like the most of the
hair restoratives, but produces a gradual change
of color from the roofs of the hair to the final
end, and gives it a fine and glossy? appearance.
We have seen many persons who hate used it
successfully, add pronounced it the only inven
tion which has come up to their idea> of a “cure
for grey heads.” We commenced using it about
two months since, and if we are any judge of
age and beauty, it bos made us at peast ten
years younger; in fact we are beginning to look
quite young, and feel vety much; likegetting a
young wife. The change is miraculous, and it
would be as difficult tc find a .grey, hair now as
it would be to find, an idea in the head of the
Duke of Buckingham. We know feyerot old
maids and some young widows, whosolocks are
