counts of the late firm of hrCrutn & Allison,
which have been transferred to me, are settled

debtet! on said books, (and the number la by no
means- small) will make it convenient-to settle
up immediately I can always be found at the
Tribune Office. Ww. M. ALLISON.
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!

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.

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*

came to his assistance,.whereupon the villiaus
made tracks: doim the Gailroad. On examina
tion, ilawkesworth fqund that Ms vest had
been cut in two places, evidently with a knife.
This is certainly a bold attempt at highway
robbery, and it-is time that something be done

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. H. Keyser, Wholesale
Druggist, of 14 (k Wood Street, Pittsburgh, Pa.
You can buy it at 0. W. Kessler’s.
jjgg* On Thursday last, Charles Pierson was
arrested on oath of C. B. Szink, and brought up
before Esquire Good, on a charge of breaking
open a chest in Geo. Buck’s house, and. steal
ing therefrom over one hundred dollars Pier
son denied the. charge and said that he could
prove that the money he had in his possession
did not belong to Buck. 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. Eain falls or is threat
ened almost' every hour, ahd tho wind has a
little too much affection for the North-east to
be agreeable. Quite a number of severe thun
der some of them accompanied with
hail, .have passed over this place. There is
no appearance yet of a clear up.
Close of the Union Prater Meetings.—
We are sorry to announce that these meetings
were brought |to a close on Friday evening last.
That much good' has been done by them we

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

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. The
object of your being, your present aim and your
final destiny, afford too much material for me
to discuss in the limits of this epistle ; besides,
the task would be too herculean for me to at
tempt; you can follow U llirough all its ramifi
cations as you see fit.
You are convinced that, in making the pois
onous beverage, you are doing no good. You
are doing nothing to meliorate the condition of
your fellow-men; but on the contrary, you per
ceive your course is only tending to evil and
your actions to sink jrour fellow-mortals be
neath the brute.
Now if yon were doing all this ignorantly, or
if yon had been reared in the abode of crime or
in a heathen dime, and if yob had never been
taught tho truths of Religion anil were a scoffer
of its pure precepts: then, and only then, could
I look upon yoar actions with the least degree
of allowance. But when I consider that just
i tho reverse of this is the case, and when I know
that you are not only a professor of religion,
but as before stated, a Deacon 100, I am aston
ished and led to exclaim, “.can such things be?
Can you, 0 man, act thus with impunity?—
“ Tell it not in Gath 1”
Not only are you violating your better nature
and judgment and causing many ills in life, bat
you are brining a reproach upon Christianity;
you are proving a stumbling block unto others ;
you are regarding the blood of the covenant of
none effect I Yon may trifle with the property
and lives of your fellow-men and go unpunish
ed, but beware how you trifle with the God of
Heaven! You are rearing a family of children
about you; hop, I cannot say ; perhaps to star
tle the world with their Virtues or their vices.
Perhaps like some of the brilliant constellations
that bespangle the azure arch above us, cither
to cheer and vivify the world by the mildness
and benignity of their light, or like the blazing
meteors that sturtleonly by the irregularity of
their course, to shed a flood of light upon the
world only to be succeeded" by a' still greStep
darkness 1 However this may be, present ap
pearances are anything but favorable. The
daily influences in and about a Distillery—the
fountain head of misery, whence issue brawl
ings, oaths, lighting and death—are lamentably
averse toithe proper training of children. oh,
what a train of evils Hoes not a Distillery beget 1
How contrary to the spirit of religion I What
black, damning horrors cluster around the
name! Nbyer wiR intemperance vice and im
morality of every Idhd he banished from our
otherwise favored laud, until the cause of. all
these evils be removed. How can the stream
be purified and made sweet while it flows from
such a bitter head T “ Gonaisdenoy, their airtia
jewel 1” ’ ..
. Ip view of these things and ten-fold store
thahfhave »Uhd«d to; it U jrour imjiettdSva
duty to cease from the deadly traffics C«sl
In (be came of humanly; cease In the name of
unsullied virtue; cease in the qame of all that
is pure and good; cease in the, name of Him
whose eyes are too pure to lobk npon : snob con
duct as yours with any allowance The cries
of all who have been injured by the crimes that"
have “ gushed from the fiery fountain of the
still, 1 * admonish you in thunder tones to cease.
If yon are dead to these enireaties, may (he
God of the Universe have mercy upon yon!—
