' The Standard says that it deduced its conclusions that the Tribune is interested in the success of theArifrrican ticket, “ not only from its remarks, but from the past course'of the Tribune and.the political antecedents of its ed itors.” We insist that our remarks will not ad mit of aucha conclusion, anxious aa the Stan dard appears to be to so construe them. The assertion that the past course of the Tribune has been favorable to Americanism places the veracity of the Standard decidedly below par, if his previously expressed opinions are to be taken intooonsideption. That the political an tecedents of .the editors of the Tribune furnish ed the grounds for the Standard’s remarks, is, we think, the'true one. but white we care Utile to what party the Standard may consider our private preferences are given, ire deny its right to dedace .the conclusion therefrom that the Tri bune favors the same party, so long as it does not evince it editorially. Wo dare deny that we are particularly interested in the success of the American ticket; notwithstanding wc desire the election of those upon -it who ore our personal friends, and whom we know to be honest men. The St.uuunl says.if we show bpw a perfect union of such discordant elements us compose the opposition parties can be effected, it will acknowledge that the election of a Democratic ticket is an impossibility. That’s it Now re member, Mr, Standard, you admit that with' a perfect union of the opposition the Democratic party would bo defeated, We said so a few weeks since, but then you denied it. What hath wrought the change ? Wo never proposed to show bow die union between the opposition was to be effected, nor do we care, hence we de cline the erection of s platform on which both parties may uniter although wo might thereby obtainthe enviable which the Stan dard would accord to ns. Vaixable Patest.— Dropping into the . store room of Mr. John Shoemaker, a day or two since, we were shown a patent, in the cooking stove line, which we ore inclined to believe, from the examination we gave it and the expla nation received, must in a short tiuie\supcrcede all other patents. It was the attachment of a gas burner to the itoyal Cook and Sea'Shell cooking staves, manufactured by North, Chase & North, Philadelphia. The top of the stove is cast double, with sufficient space between the plates to allow the generation of a considerable quantity of gas, which can be ignited,tims pro ducing more than double the amo.ant of heat from the .same quantify of fnol, and bringing it in more dhreut contaot .with the cooking uten sils.

Yocsa Man’s Dramatic Association.— As previously announced, the third and fourth en tertainments of thiaiAssooiation; composed of a number of young men of this place, will be given in Militaty Hall, this (Thursday) evening, and to-morrow (Friday) evening. Their bill is certainly very inviting to those who take pica sorb in such amusements The first drama en titled “All that GUtteira is not Gold,” or the “Ifjsctory Gill,” was well selected, and will Uo doubt call .out a fqU house. The closing piece, entitled the “ Limerick Boy,” istmdof .the most amusing farces that could have been produced, and from the reputation of the gentleman who assumes the leading‘character, we', can assure those who witness it .a 'deal of merriment. These entertainments are not intended to benefit the mepibers of the association pecuniarily, but in-, telleotually, as those who know anything about the expense incurred in getting up such enter tainments are well aware. Some persons object to attending exhibitions in the Hall, for the rea son, os they allege, that there is a lager beer saloon in the same building, but while this is the 1 case, there is no more connection between the Hall and saloon than if they were in differ ent buildings. > Mens Reform. —Altoona wot never before blessed with ns faithful and competent Borough authorities as at present. The Burgess, Mr. £. M. Jones, and the gentlemen composing the Town Council, have evinced,, this Spring, a de termination so'make Altoona surpass her sister towns of the State in cleanliness and comfort. First the gutters were cleaned out—-then, now crossings made—then board walks repaired— then ordinances passed, (and enforced, too,): regulating the morals of the town—arid latterly, i we notice that measures are being taken to fill up the many vacant marshy lots iu West Altoo na; This latter improvement has long been Seeded, but until the present administration entered upon its duties, our Borough authorities lacked the courage to force property holders to make the improvement. All honor is dap .oar present authorities for the zeal with which they carry on the work of reform, and wo sincerely hope they will not only receive the gratitude of our citizens, bat will be continued in office, until their “sands of life have run out.’* Oc» MiiJTAEY.—The new militia law, in this State, appears to be exerting the desired influ ence in building up military companies. The Guards of this place, a company which was well i nigh disbanded, baa, we have been informed, organized under the new law, and its ranks arc tost filling np again. The only draw-back upon this company is the want of a sufficient num ber of muskets, ns it will be remembered that one-half the number received by it when first organized, were burned, some two ygnrj since. We hope they .may soon be able to ob tain a full stand. We are pleased to learn, also, that a number of members have lately been, added to the Logan Eific Dangers, since the re organization of the company under tbe new law- It is one of the finest companies in the State, pf which vro may justly feel proud, and U glvcß JuS pleasure to note their, prosperity and Increase in membership. We think that little Blair will soon excel, in number and appearance, any of the neighboring counties in the way of military companies; . . i Tax CottECTOEs.—Tbe County Commission ers bate appointed the following persons sis Collectors of the Sjtate and County tax for tpe year'lBsB, in the several townships and bor oughs of this county: Allegheny Township, Peter H.

Fourth op July Celebration. —The ladies of St. John’s Church, in this place, are now ma king arrangements to hold a grand celebration on Monday the 6th of July, at a suitable place, adjacent to town, the exact locality of which has not.yet been decided upon, but will be an nounced in due time. They intend to get up one of the best dinnera that has ever been pre pared in this vieijnity, and we know they can do it. They extend; a general invitation to. oil to unite in the festivities of the occasion. Suita ble places will be fitted tip for dancing, swing ing and all other kinds of amusements. A real gala day is anticipated. P. S. The committee have selected tho beau tiful grove ip Beales’ woods, on the Flank Road betwe en this place and Ilollidaysburg. Outbaoeous.- — On Sunday evening, while en joying a peaceful chsft with oar better-half, we were startled by tho horrifying cry of “ Murder 1 Murder 2” We repaired to the spot from whence the. cry proceeded; and what, think ye, reader, we withe&ed? A man (was he a man f) cruel jly beating hia aiater I That such an act of bar barism should take place in a civilized commu nity like ours, shocked us, and we felt that the brute who committed ' the deed was fit (and hardly fit,) for banishment to Owahii Islands. Our neighbor over the hill never visits ouritbwn without complaining of an attack of ennipi—-and he • excuses himself for .attending the oircus on this account. Luckily,, the slur, as he intends is not on our town, but upon himself; for ennui is characteristic of lazy peo ple, and by that class of people most severely felt when in the midst of busily employed folks. Our citizens arq industrious—our neighbor over the hill his invariable ennui, when on a visit to our town. Like!

Tb the Tooag Hen of Altoona* LETTER 5K>. 10. & tli* W& sTHB BBPIOYMEKt OrSPAB* TIMS. . My Young Friends:—According to the inti mation given in my last letter, it is thy design in this, to suggest for your consideration a plan for your - mutual, improvement As already seen, yoti have considerable leisure time, for the improvement or mis : improyement of which.-ycu are accountable—'apd according to the proper use or abuse of which/yon are likely to fom good or bad habits. How you will see at 4. glance that it Is an important matter to have within reach the proper means for the right em ployment of these spare hours. No bettor means Can be devised than that of furnishing for your selves a sufficient variety of attractive and in • structive reading. But books and periodicals are expensive, and but few young rocu. com paratively, are able to furnish at theip own ex pense a library covering a sufficient range and variety in history, biography, the arts and sci ences, as well as the leading journals and peri odicals of the day, to meet either their desires or their necessities. How then shall, ‘or how can this desirable end be accomplished ? In no other way than by a united effort. Any one of yon would be able to get a few bopks and a.sin gle periodical. .Bat suppose you would put these all together and have them in common. Why, what a library and reading room it would make! And what is to prevent this ? Certain ly nothing. This is the principle on which all the great libraries of the world: have been gotten up. They have had their beginning in a few voiding brought together by a few individuals, addW u? by donations, and the gradual income from and increase of members until thousands upon thousands of volumes were gathered together. And why may not the young men of Altoona—why ought they not immediately to go to work in good earnest to commence such a project ? > Cet them petition the Board of Directors of of the Pa. R. R. Co. to set apart, in some of their numerous and extensive buildings, a room suitable for the purpose, and form themselves into a “ Library Association/’ with Constitution, By-Laws, Officers, &c., and say an admission fee of one dollar and monthly dues .of a dime, or whatever the majority think best. Besides, let each member of the Association be consid ered a committee to solicit donations, Either in money or in books. Do you not see how soon a library could be what an attrac tive place your room would be made. Much of tho change that now goes for what is worse than foolishness, would be expended in useful books and attractive literature, and much pre cious time which now runs to waste, would be redeemed and usefully employed. And in this way you see, that uot only your own pleasure and profit would be promoted, but .you would set to work an influence that would continue, in all probability, as long ns the place shall stajad; and open a fountain, the streams of which shall water, fructify and gladden many a before. intellectual and moral waste. And just as the association would increase in num bers, and consequently in funds, its acquisitions would increase, until to books ami periodicals could be added paintings, and then statuary; and thus the rooms of this Society become the most attractive and interesting object not only in the place but in the country 2 It was the privilege of the writer, some months ago, to visit the rooms of a similar association, in which there were some thousands of volumes, of the best literature of the day—a considerable col- Icction of natural curiosities—minerological and geological specimens; a large number of point ings, some of them of the rarest and most ele gant kind; and some of the finest statuary of the country. That association had a beginning just such as is here suggested for you, and yet. it now has one of tho best buildings in the great and growing city of St. Louis, and a library and other things, such as has been described. But you may say, this is not St. Louis. True: but it is Altoona, and she needs, nqd is able to have, in her just proportion, the samp privileges and influences had by that thriving bity. My object in citing, tho example referred to, was to show what united effort has and will again accomplish. I have but little doubt for my part, but that the Board of Directors will furnish the room, if you will but go to work in good earnest to get up the library. It is just such a matter os they would feel like encouraging, and might not only furnish the room, but vote a contribution. As individuals they will most certainly contribute to the association, , both in money and books, and particularly in the latter. Now, then, why not go right to work ? Don’t one wait to see who will move in the matter, but at once call a meeting, got up a petition to the Board, and bend it off- Delay is dangerous—procrastina tion is the thief of time—to-morrow never comes. What you do, do it quickly—do it with your ! might. Don’t wait dn leaders—all bo leaders, and all be workeps, and before a year goes rbund you may have a thousand volumes standing upon your shelves.* Whenever you have a place for them, there are some in readiness for you by ' Your friend, - T.
