Needed Improvements.— The present lean > state of the finances of this place, we presume, prevents the furtherance of many improvements which! are greatly needed, and which ereolmost indispensahle. We indulge the however, that the treasury wiU be sufficiently replenished, or that' some mfeatufwUl be adop ted wjhenby these important ends inay soon he gained, so that our town, in point of beauty, cleanliness and conveniences ihay rank with, if it cam not axool, others of ho greater pretentions. In first place we need a Hall. It has talked of from time to time, but seems now to be entirely forgotten. It is certainly a disgrace that a town the size of Altoona, should not. have a public; hall for public patposcs. The interests of the town and its citizens alike do* mandjit, and we hope that means may be adop ted at,an early day to consummate this\mnoh desired object If it can not be built by the tpwn,;wc think it would prove a lucrative in vestment for some of the loose capital of private citizens. , • ■ ■\ Ncijt in order comes a Market House. The ! interests of all demand a building pf this kind. Wc have heretofore said considerable on this subject; and-the hope pf securing a building for this purpose has been almost abandoned, yet we do not give it bp, nor will we cease to urge its Importance until we wake up the right feel-' ing or, the subject on the part of our citizens, or it shall have .been hopelessly given up. The streets need considerable attention, and we are pleased to notice that the Burgess is now engaged In repairing them, and 'wrlll do the best he can with the moans at his command.— Virginia jstxeet, especially, filling np and pebbling, and this mast be done before it will ever -he fit for use in soft weather. This being the principal thoroughfare of the town, we think it should receive first attention. Now that warm weather is approaching, every lot-owner should see that there' be no stagnant pool? of water standing therepn. We notice several of these in different parts of the town, which, if permitted to remain as they arc, mast become nauseating and extremely unhealthy. Mosjf Stolen.—On Thursday night lost, one of the boldest robberies we have yet heard of in this piece, was perpetrated in East Altoona. On.tbenight in.question, the bouse of Mr. Ja cob Slink, was entered, in a manner unknown to any .of the family, and one itundred dol lars- abstracted from Mr. 6.’s pocket-book, which was in his pantaloons pocket, in bis bed room. By . whom, or at what time in the night the money was. token, there is no suspicion.— Mr. S was out until a late hoar on Thursday evening, but observed nothing wrong about the bouse when he went to bed. Money alone, ap pears to have- been the object of the thief, or thieves, os there were two gold watches lying on the bureau in the same room, which were not disturbed. v There was also a considerable sum of money in oue of the drawers of the bu reau, but there was no attempt made to get at it. The person or persons who. perpetrated the robbery, evidently knew that Mr. S. hod the money on his person and were acquainted with the premises. This Case, wo think, should in duce those who are in the habit of carrying mo ney on their persons to be careful not to exhibit it in public places, and also to see that every thing is right about their premises before re tiring. \ There may be persons, in our commu nity who would; bo guilty of such actions, al though we could not point them. out. Hard I times will make men nut almost any risk to get money. Centers Aitaib.—On .the same' night that the boose of Mr. Szink was entered and his money taken, a smaU sum of money disappear ed mysteriously from the pocket-book of onr old friend, Mr. George liawkesworth,- and also from that of his son. Mr. H. had placed six dollars in his pocket-book on Thursday, Jfor the purpose of purchasing a barrel of floor; l On Friday he vent to purchase the [flour, and on taking otit his pocket-book, he was astonished to find that he had.no money. 'On the same day his Son had placed fire dollars in his pock et-book, to defray his expenses on a.viait dovn the country, hat when became to purchase his ticket at the depot, on Friday, he discovered that he vas snuos the V. How, when, or by whom the money vas taken is a mystery. Both. Mr. B. and his son, had their money in their I pantaloons pockets, in their bed-rooms.. Noth- 1 ing about .the house indicated the presence of burglars during the night The doors and win k dovs vcre all as they had been le& in the efen -1 lag; nevertheless, it is evident that there vas some ope about, and very likely the same pinr ! Bon w ho relieved Mr. Ssinkof fan change, had j a finger in the pocket-books of Mr. H. and son. [ Cttne .ls to be followed upin this place, lin connection with’.that' of robbing cellars, a I night police Trill be necessary. We hope some I clue may yet be obtained, whereby the guiltv I parties way be discovered! Mauoiocs Mimhiw.-UOb Thursday night last* man named Shadriok Been, broke into the school hdnse in the vicinity'of Esquire Gal ▼ert’e, in wmseqiiqpoe of which he was brotfght up before Esquire Good,-of this place, on .the abore change. It appears had been * little tod freely on the night in question, which produced a slight aber atlen of jniod. On being questioned b; the Squire aa to whether he was guilty of the of fence, he stated that he did not think he wais, as he had no recollection of having brpken the *£ acknowledged that he had found himself m the school house in the morn vrTa*?- <a ? e * her ® was a mystdry to J™*-. ?&JSSS£*n*a damages coats which he paid and was discharged. , • ■ saaaaaaa Mon* BotidLAUiss-—On Tuesday night iast^ - the Amcthan. House, in.this place, kept by Wm. Bony Was entered through one of the windows 'hi the busemeiit kitchen,'%id the pocket-book ofMr.B., cohtjiitiing some seventy dollars and a, number ofpapere, abstracted from the pocket ofhlepnntalooahwliich he had placed beneath hisplllowonretiring. After securing his booty, the burglar departed by the front door of, the house, at which point he inspected the contents of the pooket-book, seleoting and carrying off all the money in it, i trilh the exception of a i counterfeit $2.50 gold piece, and then dropped the book and- papers, which were found the nest morning On the same night, the house of Mr. C. J. Mann was entered through a window of Ms bed-room, in the second story of the house, and his. pocket-book, containing about $lO in mo ney and a few papers, taken oat of a pocket of his pantaloons, which wore hanging on a chair at thje head of his bed. The pantaloons had been carried across, the room toward! the win dow at which the burglar entered. Thtft the person or persons who are engaged in this business, are expert, there can be no mistake., VVo do not remember to have ever road or beard of more, bold or daring burglaries at any time or in any place. They would do credit to any finished city burglar, and we have reason ta believe that they are individuals who have practiced the game before they art rived in' this place. The two oases above, tak en in connection with those mentioned in ano ther part of our paper, should induce our citi zens to be on the look-out fur these sly, light fingered gentry, and endeavor, if possible, to l find put who they arc, or give them a reception Hthatwill cure them of their propensity to ap propriate other people’s money to their own purposes. Arrest or a Thief.— Our readers will remember that on several occasions during the last fall and winter, we noticed the robbing of a number of pantry’s and cellars, by an indi vidual who evidently knew who lived well, and also the. time at which their larders were filled with fresh bread, cakes, pies, meat, &c., and would make a descent upon them accordingly, on the following night. At oue time last win ter, suspicion fastened itself upon a young man named Jesse Cogan, who boarded with Mrs! Meloy, in East Altoona, daring last summer, but who had taken np his residence in a deser ted cabin in the vicinity of this place. A num ber of persons visited his cabin one day, and found a few cooking utensils, which were iden tified as the property of some of our citizens, and also found Jesse lying on a miserable ex cuse for a bed which he had made in one corner of the room. From the fact that he was not considered altogether sane, he was brought to town and taken in by the family with whom he had previously boarded, hut no complaint was lodged against him. After a time, 1 however, Jesse returned to bis cabin again and resumed business. Quite a number of cellars were rob bed, and from,the amount and variety of arti cles carried off, ihe evidently lived high. A short time since, the celled of Mr. Michael Cla baugh was entered and some four or five loaves of bread, a couple of pans of cakes and a num ber of pies parried off. This'was considered a little too heavy a haul to be passed without no tice, and accordingly our new constable Mr. J. K. Ely was reqaested to visit Jesse, which ho did, and found a, number of plates which were identified as the property of Mr Clab.urg'.i. Jesse was accordingly arrested and had a hearing on Thursday last before Esquire Good, who com mitted! him ip default o" b hi. Wbitukj os NEVsPArEiii. —A custom prevails to a very great extent of writing tho name of the person Sending, or some other communica tion, upon the margin of a newspaper, intend ing that it shall be subject to newspaper post age alone.

' iHfAKora OtmiAQ*.—-On Tuesday right ist as Oust Hnwkesworth, an engineer on the Fast Line, was crossing the Branch Railroad, on Ms way home, between the hours of fen and eleven o’clock, he was attacked by two inea, one of whom caught:hold of him, end attempted to knock Mm down. Finding that the first one who attacked Gust, was not able to effect Ms purpose, the second came to his assistance. After a scuffle, Gust broke loose from them and rais ed the alarm, when the Watchman in* the Bail* road shop, and our young .friend Ed.

This is certainly a bold attempt at highway robbery, and it-is time that something be done to protect our citizens from such midnight as saults. 5 r Disappointment. —The acouadrejl who enter ed the room of Mr. Chas J. Mann, and carried off his pocket-book, on Tuesday night last, de prived ua, thereby, of a sight of the new cent which is about to be issued. A sample of the coiu had been sent'to Mr. Mann, by a friend in Philadelphia, and he had intended giving it to us for inspection on Wednesday morning, but unfortunately when he came to look fot it, it had disappeared, and with it his pocket-book, as stated in another article. The design of the coin is very pretty. We hope this unforeseen circumstance which has prevented our exami nation and approval of the article, will not de bar the mint from issuing a good supply of the new coin, to supplant the place of the ugly, old, black concerns lately sent put. Found.-—A few days since a friend handed to us a note, drawn by Geo. D. Spencher (or Spucher) & Bro., in favor of Susanna Styera, for soveuty-two dollars, dated Lancaster, May llth, 1858, and payable ou tho first day of April, 1859, bearing six per cent, interest; which he found at the depot in this place. The note is evidently genuine. The person to whom it belongs can .have the note by calling at this office, and producing satisfactory evidence that she is the legal owner. The note is not endorsed. Departed. —On Friday evening last, Messrs. James and George Kearney, bid good-bye ■to their relations and friends in this place, and started for tho “Green Isle.” We were sorry to bid adieu to two such gentlemanly and oblig ing men and good citizens, but consoled our selves with the assurance that they intend to return again in the course of six or nine months. We wish them a safe journey and a happy meet ing with their friends in the old country. Neglected Coughs and Colds. —These insid ious and troublesome complaints arc almost seen to pave the way for more formidable lung dis ease, which, if treated in time, could be easily cured by a few spoonsful of that now popular atid useful 'medicine, called “ Pectoral Syrup,” prepared by Dr. Goo.

Ills case was contin ued for a further hearing, which will bo had this week. The weather is still unsettled, and, for the season, rather cool.

For the Altoona Tribune. - To the Young Men of Altoona. The large number of Young Men in our place a. hut cause of apprehension by them—Danger in view of the {want of proper amuseneht and tources of improvement; < My Yonbg jFncnds: —In my last, after break ing away from the storm, I commenced an enu meration of diet unfavorable peculiarities ofyotar position here.' By the time I had got through with the first,- niy time and paper had Both run out. It wail necessary, therefore, to reserve the rest for this communication. Another among the unfavorable circumstances | here surronndiugyou, is tho undue proportion | of your own number compared with the whole population. iritis fact grows out of the pecu liar character of the place. 'lt ia emphatically a Railroad town. Being the point from which the p. R. E. Company work their road, and the location of their principal machine shops, the demand for labor is great, and tho attraction foTyoung men seeking employment as appren- machinists, engineers, car-bnilders, clerks, &c., ia very considerable; andhence the pro- , portion of this and age is larger than is natural, or than Is found in older and ordinary towns. And wherever the just eciuiUbriuni of society is distnxbod by the unnatural proportion of any particular class, there will almost neces sarily exist etude hindrance to the.healthy prog-, ress of things, growing out of that fact. An All-wise Creator has so ordered things in this world, that when the ordinary laws are suffered to govern society, there is a healthful •proportion Of the different component'parts of that community, which act as checks One Upon the other,i—as for example, there will be a just proportion: between the old, the middle aged and the young, |md between molcs and females! These, each, hive their appropriate sphere to. fill, and their calling to perform. Rot example the element of life, activity, energy and ; public spirit in apy community, is vested in the yCsfog men. ~ Those upon whom the business Interest and chief responsibilities rest, are persons in the prime of life. The conservative influeiicerla 1 witb the sged, while the females^Uw^ttUUirs, *• i r* LETTER NO. 7. Ahe wives, the daughters and sisters—exert a moulding influence, soften down the asperities of the rougher sex, and give tone to morals and religion. Now, it is hot difficult to seeHhat a preponderance of either of these classes would destroy the equilibrium of the society where that disproportion exists. For example, where the disproportion was with the aged, conserva tism would soon degenerate into ennui, and everything wear the appearance of decay. Or if the disproportion was in favor of tho gentler sex, the result t» follow would be a generation of old maids, by whom a straight-jacket would pe prepared far every one wbOae mouth, when be laughed, did not wear a particular 1 twist.— And wouldn’t that be a wholesome state of things! And I have no doubt but that some of the older, and more finished towns, are suffer ing in this way just now, for the unnatural draught made upon them for business men and young men, by Altoona, and similar towns. — And now, the danger is, that we may suffer from the opposite cause, viz., too much of the impetuosity and ardor of youth, without enough of the conservatism of age, and the restraints of female society. This, young friends, is one of the unfavorable circumstances with which you bave here to contend. Tho disproportion in your favor, here, makes your present situa tion on that account unfavorable and danger ous. The fear is that the natural impetuosity and ardor of youth, for the want of sufficient restraints, will so strengthen as to carry you beyond proper bounds, and your only safety is knowing the danger, and being always on your guard. Another unfavorable aspect of tho case and consequent danger very nearly allied to the last, and to some extent growing out of it, is the want of proper sources of amusement and im provement. Tho mind of man is essentially ac tive. Solitude, too, is unnatural to man, and especially to the young. If, therefore, this ac tivity can not find useful employment, and this desire for society be innocently gratified, the groat danger is that vice will supply the place of the one, and wicked polluting society the ocher. The special danger to which under such circumstances young men are exposed, are these two, viz., gaming and drinking. These are very nearly connected with each other; they are like twin sisters, almost inseparable. The latter follows in the wake of the former. He who gambles will naturally and almost neces sarily form habits of intemperance. Indeed the beginning of gaming is where the loser has, according to common parlance, “ to treat the company.” The wages being paid by a glass of stimulating drink all round, the company is thereby inspired afresh for a new trial of their skill in the game, the loser again treating, and so tho dripk encourages gaming, and gaming drinking* until a double habit is formed in vices, either of which, if continued, will ruin any mad, and both of which must bring speedy and double ruin. No man has ever yet escaped.— And if we would escape the rock upon which others have split, we must avoid their errors. Young friends, your only safety is in total abstinence from both. Make it a law—and let that law be like tho laws of the Medea and Persians, unalterable—that you will dulge in games of chance, nor in games of any kind for a wager, and particularly when and where intoxicating drinks arc in reach. Do not commence a course of this kind with the thought that it is only for amusement, and therefore there is no harm in it; or that you will stop it when you discover its danger. Be not deceived. The danger never appears until it is too late to avoid it. All games are excessively fascinating, especially those of chance; and once absorbed in them, and the habit formed, the judgment has generally lost its control. And in order to avoid all danger let it be your unalterable de-. termination never to enter a “ Drinking Sa loon.” They ore the “ high ways’’ to ruin. It is there you will meet those who indulge in these vices, end where the snares are laid for entrapping the unwary. Shun them as you would the threshold of perdition. They have destroy ed thousands multiplied by thousands of the ,pride and hope of our country, and they will destroy you if you frequent them. Remember, these are the counsels of a true friend. most respectfully, T. *N. K. For the Altoona Tribune. A few more Plain Words to a Whiskey Distiller. Dear Sir: —When I last addressed you in my imperfect way, I did not think that I should do so again; but, upon this bright hay-day morning, seeing all Nature clothed in her rich attire—a feast for useful contemplation—hear ing the little songsters warbling their notes of pleasing melody, and beholding everything around me, whether animate or inanimate, de signed for some purpose and subserving the ob ject of their being —I was naturally led to think of you, tho object for which )/ou were created, your aim, and end. and by, some mysterious power I was compelled to speak to you.
