Secretary and Treasurer, for the ensuing year.
On motion, the following persons wore unan
imously elected to fill the above offices; And.
Clabangh, President; Wm. Pancake, Secretary
end And. Kipple, Treasurer.
On motion, the following preamble and res
- oliitiona were.unanimously adopted:
Whbbeab, A portion, of the citizens of Altoo
na contributed liberally to assist the-members
of the Altoona Brass Band in procuring their
first set of instruments, we, as a Band, have
therefore.
Resolved, That we offer, a rote of thank* to
those who hafo given us their support on for-
mer occasions.
Resolved, That a statement of the Receipts
and Expenditures of the Baud, from the time of
its organization up to this date, be published.
, Resolved , That the Baud stands much iu need
S
of four new instruments, and that wo proceed
to adopt a plan by which to obtain them.
On motion, the following plan was adopted :
The members of the Band to call upon the cit
izens tffAltqona to become contributing mem
bers of tbe Baud, on the following reasonable
termsThi members of the Band to give two
concerts annually. All persons who will con
tribute $l,OO h year to the Band will receive a
certificate of Honorary Membership, which will
admit the bearer and lady to each of the con
certs free of charge. Ail persons who will con
tribute $5,00 a year will bo entitled, to one ser
enade, in addition to a certificate of member
ship, on giving the Band due notice.
In accordance .with resolution above, the

In addition to the above, the foiio-ar
icgjnatruments h aTe been Pur

from all sources:—
from Pic-Nics and Excursions
M Political meetings,

Total, $90,00
All of which is respectfully submitted.
A. RIPPLE, Trtamrer.
E The object of the Band in having the abort;
Iraaolutiona and report published, is to show the'
I citizens of, Altoona the manner in which the
[money contributed was expended, and make
. them acquainted with the condition of the Baud.
IThe Band’is now in need of four new instru-
Ftoents which will cost al leiist $l6O, to secure
; which the plan above has been adopted. It is
[certainly fair and reasonable, nod it is hoped
-the citizens of this place will take an interest
in tb|s welfare of a clever set of musicians who
are always ready and willing to play when cal
led upon. Tickets can be had of members of
the Bind. WM. BOEDER, Prezt
Axn. Clabadqh, See’y.
To Tits Public.— Within the past few days I
have learned that there is a report in circula
tion in this place, charging me with asserting
that I 'did net wish to board in the same house
with “dirty mechanics, - ’ and I take this public
way of contradicting it. That it was got up
by some deaignifag person, to injure me in my
business relations with the 'mechanics of this
place, is evident. • I pledge myself to pay the
sum of $25,00 to .any person who will furnish
me with .the name of the person who first circu
lated the Report.
Those w}ho are acquainted with me, I feel
sure, will mot believe me guilty of making such
la remark, knowing as I do, that lam depen
dent upon mechanics for my patronage. Those
iwho have been instrumental in'circulating the
blander will do well to find out the author be
fore they spread it further.
lam induced to make this public contrudic-
Ibn from the fact, that such stories generally
the refutation, and if per*
iittad to go.uni.oticed, might be believed by
iiose unacquainted rrith me.

vise ways and means to rouse “ Sam ’’ from the
lethargic slap, in which he has so long.been re

passed and_ straight-out feeling prevailed, A
convention was called for Thursday May 20th.,
to nominate a county ticket. We shall notice
the matter fuller next week. -
The “gallant Major” of toe Whig seems to
be down on this movement of the “ straight

also opposed to “ Union for the sake of the

nominate a distinct ticket and vole for it. We

set, Wholesale Druggist, of 140 Wood Street, in
inviting attention to his Pectoral Syrup, does
not pret-md that it will heal tubercles or ulcers
in the lungs, or heal over a half wasted lung ;
but in the incipiency of the disease it will allay
inflammation,, cure the Cough, and effectually
arrest the progress of the Disease. One or two
spoonsful of this medicine has often cured a vio
lent Cough of several weeks duration. What
has been done can be dona again. Cure your
Cough with half a dollar by buying a bottle of
Pectoral Syrup, for sale at G. W. Kessler's.
Hairs.— Lost Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
we were favored with a superabundant supply
of rain—though rather of a colder character
than comfort.demanded. On Monday we really
thought we would be favored with some snow,
and have no doubt that iha residents on the
Alleghenies were so favored. The weather is
still very cool for this season of .the year.—
“ Old winter ” the lecherous old villain seems
determined to linger as long as possible in the
lap of Spring. It is high time, we think, that
the lascivious young hussy should drive him off.

Its regular appearance is no doubt welcomed by

deserves admiration and makes it what the Press

triumphantly successful.

Tracks and Loow Haven Railucad. —At a
of the Board of Directors of tbc Tyrone
and Lock Haven Railroad; heldin Bellefoutc, on
Monday last, the Presidentwas “ authorized to
put under! contract as much of the grading of
the ISastern Division of the road as lie can raise
subscriptions topay." Tlie Eastern Division ex
tends from Milesbufg to Look Haven, a distance
of about twenty-three miles. An effort will
shortly be made to raise subscriptions to defray
the expenses of grading that Division, and we
trust the people in the portion of country through
which that eudhf the road passes, will show their
interest in the enterprise by subscribing liber
ally. The grading of the Western Dmsion is
now about completed, and it is time something
should be done on the Eastern end.
We clip the above from' the.Bellefonto Whig,
and think dt is about time, that Che people of
Lock Haven should become aroused, and take"
some action in regard to an enterprise that is
likely to be of such vast benefit to our town.—
Let the citizens of Clinton county come up to
the work, and the Tyrone and Lock Haven Rail
road will soon be completed. —Lock Haven Watch

EgUSome excitement was created in our
town last week, by the appearance of a special
train from Hollidaysburg, containing the Sher
iff and the Hollibaysburg Fencibles. They
Were on their way to Bennington to quell an aw
ful riot that was said to be raging there, and
which is noticed by our 'Hollidaysburg corres
pondent. Fired with patriotism, we accompa
nied the Sheriff and his posse to Bennington,
but on arriving there, found all quiet. Was have
no doubt that the visit of the Sheriff and the
Fencibles proved beneficial, in scaring the “stri
kers” from any further demonstrations. The
disturbance was created by some of the bonds
“striking" for higher and all cash wages, which
being refused, they attempted to shoot the man
ager, Mr. Bailey. We understand that the
proprietors purpose using up the present stock
and then blowing out, to allow the “strikers”
time to consider over their ill-advised conduct.

of folly or vioo,. jtbete is no telling whetheryou

j Falls of Niagara, i Id the wildness of his na
-1 turc, rendered still more wild by intoxication, he
i would show his skill in the management of his
■ canoe, and hia prowess ;in overcoming the im

| tance above the fdlle. add show bis daring by
i venturing neater the terific cataract, than any
j before him. But when he had reached a given
| point, the sweep of waters was so great and the
j power of gravitation so strong, that resistance
i;was vain. The Red Man’s strength was weak
| ness—his oars useless! His little bark was
borne upon the mighty current as if it had been
a straw. He saw that lie had ventured too far,
but the knowledge came too late. He gave him
self up to his fate, doshpd bis oars from him,
| drank to its bottOm the bottle of spirits from
| which he had already.drnuk too deeply, and then
I threw himself down in his skift to meet his rap-
I idly npproachiug.dbom. ■ Swiff as the winged nr
i row that canoe sped its wa}’, until, with the
foaming, roaring waters, it leaped from the
brink aud went tumbling into the abyss below.
How much the case of that poor Indian re
sembles that of many of the pride and hope of
our country. They'sported on the brink of
ruin, until getting beyond their power to recover, 1
they have plunged headlong down the'stoep and j
been crushed on the rocks below. Young men, !
if you would escape a similar fate, avoid their
error. Never venture upon the whirlpool and j
then you. can not be ongulphed by it. Avoid it
even at the risk of being called churlish orcovr
ardly. Remember that “discretion is the bet
ter part of valor.” Aud it is certainly discreet j
to avoid a conflict that is unnecessary, espec- \
ially when the chances of success are all against •
you.
Au incentive, young frieuJs, to the present
cultivation of good habits is in the project of
reward. In this country, young men of correct
morals are marked and sought out for posts of
trust and emolument. There may be an occas
ional exception to this, apparently, but it is on
ly in appearance, for the reaction against an un
worthy incumbent, always sets things right in
the cud. The genius of our American institu
tions is no favoritism, but that of true nterii.
There are no insuperable barriers to success.—
Industry and merit must and will be rewarded.
In this land, men do not inhei it titles and rep
utations. They u-ake their own fortunes and
win for themselves a name. From the humble
walks of life often come our highest ornaments
in Church and State. Why, young men may
not you share in such honors and dignity
—such positions ? Vou may if you will, I have
now iu my mind's eye aa acquaintance, who was
reared in a hovel and under the Influence of an
inebriate father's example, who now occupies a
position in .the church, second to none, and
equaled by few. It is the result of his native
talent and effort. And some of the brightest
stars that now shine iu the political sky of this
grout and growing Itcpublic, have arisen from
poverty and obscurity to their present high
positions. Why may , not you! Let the
hope of it incite you to : correctness in morals
and energetic and laborious effort.
It is my desire, young.friends, to impress you
with a sense of your individual responsibility. —
However, upon this point, 1 can not at present
enlarge. Of it I shall speak at length in my
next letter Be assured in the mean time of

The landscape in this region is greatly diver

the dark forests, with their noble, towering

But still civilization, with its incessant hum has
Ip-oken in upon the profound solitude, that
reigned for ages in this mountainous region.

believe is doing a very good business. Howev

means of the Press, is mean enough to cheat printers. We
hope, when sick, he may be quacked to death by some bro

Hev. W. 8. n. Kns, Tyrone. Pa., 52 00.
This political parson who spurts the “cambric” exten
sively, owes us the above sum for printing Notices to K. N.
bis terms for lecturing before them.’ Wo
should Dunk that his “ Intense Americanism" should lead
him to pay hjs honest debts. We hand him over to the ten

of his friend and pretutypo-- .
L. P.U.MER i Co., Travelling Opticians, $1 00.
The above firm was composed of a couple of precious ras
cals, a* “dutch as sonr crout,” who passed themselves off as
opticians. Whether they were or not wo don’t know, but
wo do know, that instead of improving the sight of our
“peepers,” they effectually “closed them up.”

This isalnolher pair of contemptible knaves. Their skill
was strikingly exemplified in onrsad experience, they hav

were the victims of misplaced confidence.

J. Wood’s Hair SeatonttiTe, which appeals ia
j the columns of ourpiese&t number! i K'
; From our long acquaintance with the propri
, etor, and with ntmerons individuals who bars
| used his preparation perfbot isocoen for
the last two years, we feel no hesitation in reo
ommending the article as superior to any of the
j preparations now in use for the same purpose,
j viz : for restoring gray hair, torts originabcolor,
I a sure and perfect cure for baldness, and a nev
crfailing preventative for the failing of the hair.
It is decidedly the beat and most popular in
use for beautifying, preserving, restoring and
strengthening the hair, relieving diseases of -the
skin, and removing scurff, dandruff, and all
eruptions and feverish heat from the scalp.
We speak in relation to the above from what
we know, having been personally aeguainted
| with numerous persons who have used the res
torative for the above purposes with the' most
gratifying results.
It is not often we notice a patent medicine.
Indeed, we think We have never puffed oio be
fore ; but Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative is some
thing so superior to most of the preparations of
the day, that we cannot forbear asking the at
tention of our readers to it.—(CatAohc Fimftca

The Fa. vic—More Failures. —The panic In
New York seems to be on the increase. In this
city everything goes on smoothly, and the only
failures we have heard of were the failutea to
furnish good fits'made by some inferior clothing
establishments. There is no such difficulty to
be encountered by those who patronize the
Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rockfailland Wil
son, Nos. 603 and 605 Cbesnut street, above
sixth. Gentleman and youths never fail to pro
cure capital' fits at this popular establishment.
The Best Couuh Medicine.— One of the very
best Cough Medicines to be found anywhere, is
Dr. Keyser's Pectoral Syrup, sold by G. W. Kess
