SAM’L a. WILSON, \V. C. JOHN H. C. DOBH, ) July 21,1858. i OPPOBIHOS TO THE WATEa4fo)Hgg.— On Bat orilay evening last * meeting convened in front of the Miaonic Temple, in mponae to a call is oued by a few persons who are opposed to the introduction of water into our town. The call bod been worded In such a .manner as to create the impression in the minds of many that the Committee appointed at a previous meeting in tended to report, else, wo presume, there would scarcely have been a baker's dozen in atten dance. When the plot of the opposers of the water works was discovered, and it because ful ly known tint the meeting was intended to get up an opposition to this desirable object, the friends of the project very naturally set about counteracting and contradicting the false re ports which were being circulated. The meet ing was called to order by electing Dr; Ickes, who was tne prime mover and chief spokesman of the President. A fter stating the object Of the meeting, he proceeded to address the assemblage on the inexpediency of introdu-. cing water into the town at this time, crying “ taxation I" “ debt!” &c. After he had con ■ eluded, be invited any person in the audience, who had anything to say on the subject, to get up and speak, whereupon L. W. Hall, Esq., responded. He gave a full statement ofthel plan by which it was proposed to introduce wa ter into the town, and showed most conclusive ly to the, minds of ail present, not even excep ting the Presidentj that now was the time, and the only fame in -all probability at which the borough would have an opportunity of obtain ing water on advantageous and reasonable terms. We,will not enter into an explanation of the means by which the town is to be suppli ed with water, as that is generally understood and approved lsy our citizens, suffice it to say that the remarks of Mr. Hall effectually knock ed the wind out of the opponents of the meas ure, and on a vote being taken,, on the motion to await the report of the. Committee appointed at a previous meeting, ’ there was a unanimous response in the affirmative. Thus ended in its lavor, what was intended to be a meeting in op position to the introduction of so desirable an element as water into dur town, andourciti icns saved the disgrace which a different re sult would have brought upon them*. We hope to hear of no more opposition to the measure. Editorial Visitors. —While engaged in mail ing our last week’s edition, who should pop in to our sanctum but our old partner in the Juni ata Sentinel, now editor of the Jilniata Register, Cal. A J. Greer. Time does not appear to have left hey traces or any other part of her harness upon him, nor could we perceive that a change of,views on political questions had' changed the color of his hair. He is the same old Adam wc knew so well in former days, and he will likely bo “ Old Adam” when he dies, if he lives a score of years longer. On Thursday last, we Lad the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Hon. John A. Ba ker, of the Perry Freeman. We found in him what we had anticipated, a perfect gcqtleman, affable in conversation and manners. The Judge; in jnc those firm and consistent politi cians who arc hot wheedled around by every new ism that may be tramped up to suit the times. Next Came our “ phunny” friend of the Slan d»d. It is a pleasure to meet with such men m Trough, and we always feel at home in their company. We are only sorry that we ean not meeVhim more frequently. Like ourselves, he i>. a working man and stays at hemp to attend to his business. Like other busy bees, lie molests no one unless they stir .him up, whereupon ho presents a “sting” that often makes his moles ters feel uncomfortable. I Literary Association.— The excitement oc casioned by the discussion of the subject of wa ter works, we jpresamo, caused the young men, and all those friendly to the forma tion of a library .and literary association, to forget the meeting for thatpurppse,onBatur- I day evening last. We are sorry for this, as we had confidently anticipated that we should be able to make a good report of the meeting and announce the establishment of so desirable an I association in oar midst. We are notlbolined I telieve, however, that they opng men of.this place will permit the many good-offers I Ti, Te Cen 0m to go unaccepted.— Thcro will be another meeting for the purpose of establishing' and Oiganfcing anassociation of “e. referred foot early day, (due notice of hich will be given by posters,) and tbep, I young men of Altoona, do not let ithesaidof . y° n offered instruction and would “iV? «■ »"*•* kßWrCouetjßHgml, I’*’*?-? men 4. hehiipg a e»cMpn»t fell. After considerable speechifying, Hol- Udayaburg wm fixed upon as the place, and the as the time for holding said encampment. We shall hare more to say about affair hereafter. j —On Saturday evening of th- r 5 W?i<iing»bOß,t tiro miles west PIMe ’ on *® w « » Stalk of back m am .**■*, .»i» Pm J? ?"! * en tochw In length.— f*“ * thieh W ' IM#BOVMfBHTB.—Since we last noticed the improVementain this place, quite 4 number of largeand handsome houses 'hove (been erected. In North W«d, ‘ MelBrB. J. Shoemaker, C,_ K. Heetetter aßd Heory Bnrgen bave eaob erfected large and convenient buildings. (Mr. Shoema ker’s house is built innottqge style and is quite an improvement to that part of the town.' The houses of Messrs. (Hostetler and Burgen are double, intended for two families each. They are finished up in good style and add smelt to the appearance of their localities. -Mr. Jon. Conrad has just finished, a-large double house, on the corner of Jolla and Branch streets, East Altoona which greatly* improves the appearance of that part of the town. The bouses, are pointed a beautiful lilac coloiy which gives thema neat and cheerful appearance. Other hoosea have been . built and improve ments made which we can not think of at pres ent, but’will note again. A Ncuahok.—For some time past, a half witted darkey, Who colls himself “ Whistling Jack,” has been cutting up all kinds of “ didoes” in and about town, to the no small amusement of the . Juveniles, and extreme- annoyance of many of outcitizens. '] He is constantly whist ling or singing, and is not particular an to whether his remarks on the street;are offensive or not. On Monday evening last. Constable Ely took him np and placed him in the “ Lock Up,” where he kept up such a noise that the Counoilmen, who were bolding a meeting in the room above, ordered him to be turned out. At noon on Tuesday, the Constable arrested him again and placed, him on the baggage oar of the Branch Train intending to take him to Holli daysbnrg. Jack baa no , fear .of 'jails or “ lock upa ”as be says he can easily whistle himself out. of either. One thing we sincerely hope, and that is, that he may stay away from this place. BgU On Sunday last, we had -the pleasure of listening to an aged tad distinguished colored preacher named Harper, who hold forth in the morning an evening in the Methodist church.— We were astonished at the masterly maimer with which he grasped, the deep and. apparently hidden mysteries of the bible and made them plain as day, and the baore so, when we were informed that he was uneducated, save what he had received since he had been admitted into the church. For a man of bis age (67 years) he was remarkably strong, and delivered him self in a clear and distinct manner. His dis courses were well received by the large audi ence in attendance on both occasions. CouFUHCKTAnr.—A correspondent of. the Philadelphia Daily News, writing from this place, among other compliments to the town and its inhabitants, pays the following to the Tribune: — Journalism, too, is cared for. A spicy, chaste newspaper, styled the “Altoona Trilnute," is now in its.tbird year, with a considerable circu lation, and rising. It is under the control of -Messrs McCrum & Bern, who seem tq be of that stomp of men necessary to success; Vmd no doubt, as the town improves, they will keep pace with it, or oven outstrip it. Water Committee Report.— The committee appointed at the public meeting, hold in front of the Post Office, a short time since, to act in conjunction with the Borough Council, in the matter of obtaining water to supply the inhabi tants of the borough, met the Council on Mon day evening last. The'result of the conference was, that the Act of Assembly, passed in 1856, for .this object, was deemed defective in charac ter and incomplete in its provisions and requi red revision and amendment. Here, then, the matter will rest for the present. ' Good Flour.—As a general thing, the deal ers in flour, in this place, keep as good a quali ty on hand at all times, as can be found in, sim ilar stores in any town in the country. Ibis being the case, we feel loath to recommend par ticularly the article kept by an individual deal er, but injustice to Mr. Henry Lehr we must any that the article furnished us by him a few days since, surpassed anything in that lino whlojh we haye ever purchased in this or other townjs. A trial will convince any one of the truth of our assertions. Supper*— Welearn that the ladies connected with the United Brethren Church, in this place, intend giving a sapper in the basement room of the church, on the evening of the 13th of Au gust next, the proceeds of which are to be ap plied tqthe liquidation of the debt of the church. From our acquaintance with some of those who Will be engaged in getting up the entertainment we know it will be well Worthy the patronogo of every young man and woman in town, and we hope (hey will all purchase tickets. We have been requested to give notice to the male members «of the Methodist church, in this place and vicinity, that it is desired that as many of them as possibly can get away from home or 'leave their work, ' .will repair to the gipre selected for the Union Camp, ground, OR Monday morning next, and assist in preparing it for qse on the occasion- of the coming Union Comp Meeting.

He spares noj expense to make bis saloon a popular resort, and we presome bis outlay will be folly matde up by an increase of patronage. Tbb Bais.—The copious showers of rain which descended bo gently upon the parched earth on Sunday end Monday lost, have revived vegetation wonderfully.
