nay be a itetrihle one:—destructive,perhaps,
to half of the town. -And why may 'it be do

A few yean agoHdUhtsysbiirg, onr neighboring
borough, was infested 'by n band of merciless
incendiaries, who net fire nightly to a stable or
dwelling bouse in the town, with the evident in-,
tendon, each time, of burning dawn the greater
partof the borough. Holiidfyeburg is possessed
of two engines, «iid | consequently, the attempts
of the incendiaries proved a failure. If Altoona
owned a fire engine, her oitisena would feel
comparatively aeenre in the .event of a,threat-•
ening general conflagration. And; why does :
she not own a fire engine? We account for it
| only in one way. Heretofore'we hayo laid the
> blame, fortbis. neglect of public safety upon
I the Borough Authorities; bat we hays latterly
I come .to the conclusion that the blame rests
i alone with oar property holders 1 Nearly all
I our property holders have their property in
| gured in some -tesponaiblcahd well established
Fire Insurance Company; and feel fen indiffer
ence to:tbe ravages of the flames—feel that
though their property u destroyed, their lops
will be restored in the “ hard .ready.” This in
difference ia criminal— equally so with the in
differeuceof the willain who puta the forch to
his own because it is insured—and
shoidd be corrected. Let the property balden,.
then, purchase s fire proteettbeir

move In the matter?—and all honor be! to the
mover!
' 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

Fettinger of the Literaiy Emporium, np street,
Invited ha to drop in and examine his stockof
pocket-books, port-monnaies, etc., and moke a
selection therefrom. The idea of presenting a
printer with an article in which to carry nsoney,
appeared to ns about as iediculous as that of
adding a fifth wheel to a wagon, nevertheless,
we stepped into .the Emporium the other mor
ning, determining to select one of the aforesaid
articles and stuff it with paper and nails to
'moke a show and jingle a tittle. When the
stock : was placed before ns, vjy found ourselves
In a greater-diletna. than ever. There were all'
kinds of pooketbooks, portmonies and parses,
tanging .from 10 cents up to and to moke
s seleotkm therefrom seemed impossible. We
bavp never seen a greater vorietyin any -estab
lishment outside the citiea.; We' were about
despairing ofheing able to make a choice, when
Jlr. F. handed.us a neat article, intended for.
the use of ladies In shopping or visiting excur
sions, of which Ire bad a ’large and handsome
supply, and upon (this we at once laid vidlent
bands and ’‘out .stick ” fortheoffioe, determined
•to toll our readers all about ooflulventure, mid
where theyoould find a; stock of the articles
above mentioned, from which theycan not foil
to make-a selection.
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

Isfamocs Outbade—The Ornsots Akekst
ed.—Some time on 'Tuesdaynight an outrage of
a most iafamoUs character was perpetrated on
the person of a gentleman named ‘Bauer, a
guest at the “ Scott House,” and a resident of
Hollidayabnrg, sin Blair county. The gentle
man, it would > appear was returning to his
hotel, and reached Irwin street, when he. was
met by a strange man who solicited him toTgive
him a quarter. Mr. Bauer refused and the
stranger left, Ihut,*: making a detour through an
alley, he met Mr., Bauer near Duquesae War,
and, attacking him with a slung shot, dealt
him a blow on the bead which fractured his
skull. Mr. Bauer fell from the effects of the
blow, but recovering himself shortly after, he
reached his hotpl, when he informed the host
of what had: transpired. Dispatch,

Photogeaphs,— VWe. were shown, ono day this
W«ek, a fine specimen of the Photographic art,
executed by Qur friend CL W. Fisher, of Holli
daysburg. It was the portrait of a deceased
little girl, of Huntingdon, painted from on Am
brotype; and thephotograph and ambrotype,
when .compartd,'jwere ga alike as “ two peas in
& pod.” coforiugof.the picture was beau
tiful, and hot ikened a cultivated taste ou the
part of the aitisti,. We axe informed that there
are to be sees, in Lis room, much finer speci
mens thou the one shown ns; and if it be true
(wo do not doubt it.) it will be well worth the
oqst of a trip to Hollidayshurg, to go to eco
them. By reference to Mr. Fisher’s advertise
ment in another column, it will be seen that' he
is prepared tq take all kinds of likenesses at the
most moderate prices.
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! Limel—-IVo invite the attention of
persons in wantof a good article of Lime to the
advertisement of James Funk, Esq./in another
column. The fact that Mr. F. now supplies
( quite a large quantity of lime 'to the manufac
turers and mechanics of Pittsburg, is evidence
that-it is of a good quality. His Kilns turn out 1
oyer two thousand bushels of. lime per week.
He will deliver ;4t: in this place by the ear ori
vragon load, as. may he desired.
Fkesh Vegetables.— Our citizen* who are in
waul of fresh vegetables, will be pleased to

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

the color, not by the nitrate of; silver process,
bat by a. rcstoration of the healthy functions
upon which the original and natural color of
the h«ur and its moisture, its gloss, its life, and
consequently RE original beauty depended.—
Professor Wood, at the age of thirty-seven years,
was as gray’aa a man of eighty, and his hair
was dry, thin and dead. Now he has not a single
grey lock Upon hiacrown, nor is his hair thin or
dry, bat soft, pliable and moist -'as; that of a
child of five years. This preparation acts upon
the rUots/forafteran application, that portion
of the hair nearest the scalp is found restored
to,the original color, whatever It was, while the
ends of the grey. Try Wood’s,Hair
Tonic, and do not apply any other ri# after you
have this..' With this resolution yolii Will never
have occasion to use a hair dye.,
