I one of his partnerapnbusmess, written
I City,Eaqsas, detailing the particu-
I wjg 0 f the caoc. It appwuo that Shermertmd
I two other men had entered Into partnership in
I a trading expedition, or rather establishing tra-
I dine points to different parts of Kansas and No-
I fcnwicaTemtorie.s They had established one, at
I apu jnt'not mentioned, which they *flerw*ifffl
i gold out rt a considerable advance on wha( they
I hid paid fordt. In different ways thw hadac-
I jumdated considerable money. Besides this it
I was known ttoft Shenner bad money of his own
I jfhichhad not been invested. During the lat-
I ter part of the summer the traders had a man
I named Stewarfcemployed to help them makehay
I jnd perform other labor, with whom Shenner
I did not agree very well, and, a short time previ*
I oos to the murder, had reprimanded pretty se-
I rerciy. a on the night of the murder, September
20tb, Stewart appeared to bo remarkably friend
ly towards Shermer. They were encamped In
a ravine,\on the Little Blue, in Nebraska, and
the night being Varm, Shermer said the mos
quitoes troubled him, whereupon he took up
his blanket and and went up on a bili near
by and laid down/ Shortly afterwards Stewart
' conipUdned of the beat and mosquitoes and took
his blanket and followed. Shermer. Nothing
1 more was known about them until the next
I morning, when one of the-men went to call
I bbermer. After calling him several times and
I gating no answer, be went up to him and found
I him dead, one aide of his head having been
I nnsshed with a club or some heavy instrument.
I on calling Stewart, he wtfs’ no where to be
I found. On examination It was found that at
I least a part of his money, a gold watch, a gold
I pen and case, and a breastpin with ami nature
I therein, had been carried off. Some sixty doL
I lars were found in his watohrfob and about one
| dollar in change In his pockets. Suspicion at
I once fastened upon Stewart, and after burying
the remains of Shermer os decently as the Cir
cumstances of thc case would admit, they star
ted in pursuit of him- After considerable* diffi
cuity-, they finally came up with him abbot fifty
miles from the scene of the mnrder; He had
on his person tke gold watch, pen and. case and
minature belonging to Shermer.' They imme-
I diilely convoyed him to Wyandott City, where
I li« is iiow in jjdl awaiting his tnal. How nmch
money he took fromjum is not kpown.
Shermer was .known to many persons, both
n this place and Hollidaysbnrg. „JHe worked
ir‘his office for a considerable length of time
niter it was first started. At the time the Mex
ican war broke out, he enlisted, as a regular,
and cerved though the whple of that war, first
under ToyloV, and then under Scbtt, from the
taking of Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico.
IVhen he,first spoke of emigrating to Eahsas,
k? tried -to, dissuade him from going, remark
ing that ha would be killed by some of the out
laws in that par tof the country. Although we
had little idea that what we said would bo veri
fied. hsving spoken it in jest, yet alas! in his
i case, it has prpved bat too trae. Many men,
we believe, who are known, to have money about
them, are murdered in the same manner thathe
has been, but nothing more is known or heard
about them by friends or foes.

I Reduction op Houas of .Laboe,— On the Ist

I from ten to' nine per dap. This redaction of

I not meet with the approbation of all the cm-
I Payees, although we think a little reflection
I will convince them that it is decidedly more to

A Mtnwsnnn ih Evsey* House.—Start not,
gentle read^andima^eh^U^wnTm^
«taods briitihi the
hßWnmrdtirer
in yoar;hmpie, percharieefin youryery jrbom, it
may be boride, you, yonknow it ribt—
Think not
ger.that therie can he jmd that ire have
thus’ commenced this article for the purpose of
frightening you. Entirely different is ourmc
tive—iwe wished to make you readit. What we
call a murderer is a fluid, campbene, pine oil,
or any other kind of a lamp, in wMeh explosive
fluids Ore burned. Well, . you may say, this is
rathera harsh term to apply to such an indis
pensable article as a lamp. Harsh as it may
•ppeav, it is nevertheless appropriate. \A man
who takes tire life: of his fellow-man is balled a
murderer ;--and the same tern may he applied
to any instrument, proverbial for. its destruc
tion of human life. Statistics show that the
number of persons killed (or murdered) jand
maimed by the explosion, upsetting or careless
use. of lamps in which explosive fluids were
burned, is equal, if not greater, (and we think
it muoh greater) -than the number murdered by
fellow-men. Are we not correot, thou, in cal
ling such lumps,-murderers ? But, say you,
they are hot dangerous when properly attend
ed to. We admit.that .point, but how do you
know that they are properly. attended to T No
better, we presume, than yon - know that there
is an assassin larking in some dark alley or un
der your bed, waiting to spring upon yon. The
most careful persons have been victims to this
treacherous laminating substance, and children,
without knowing their danger,, have been hur
ried, off this stage of action, maimed or disfig
ured thereby. But where is the remedy ? you
ask. Just at hand, wo reply. Got the Lunar
Oil Lamps and Lunar Oil, for sale by John
Shoemaker, or the Carbon Oil Lamps and Car
bon Oil, for sale by Geo. W. Kessler. They are
os handsome and cheap as the old lamps, and
the oil is much cheaper, besides the light being
equal, if not superior, to that emitted by (he
best of the explosive fluid lamps. The great
disideratum, however, to be Warned, is that
no danger from explosion need be apprehended.
Neither of the oils recommended can be ignited
in the lamps or in any vessel. They will not
burn except when drawn through a lighted wick.
Here then is a remedy whereby that murderer
may be banished from your house. It remains
for you to say whether you will avail yourselves
of it.
Mvetebious Affaibs. —We aroinot prone to
speculate in the marvelous, or indulge in dis
quisitions on mysterious affairs, to aid in pictu
ring which the imagination must be largely
drawn upon, but we can not at this time forego
the remark, that Altoona and vicinity will soon
enjoy a reputation by no -means enviable, in
the number of mysterious accidents which
occur therein. We have never yet been sat
isfied that the young man named Boush, who
was run over by the Fast Lino, a short distance
below this place, lost fall, was not murdered
previous to being placed onthetraeje. He was
known to have money about his person, none of
which could be found .after the accident. He
was not intoxicated (at least witnesses,so tes
tified) when he left town in the evening, at eight
o’clock, or later, and yet before ten o'clock, it
is alleged, he was so much under the influence
qf liquor, that he could not get out of the way.
of a locomotive. Hossibly thiaallegation may be
correct, but we think it hardly probable.
The case of the man found in the yard in this
place, two weeks since, is equally as mysterious
to qtur mind, although we incline to the opinion
that he was foully murdered. Amanin his
circumstances, m route for a distant Country, as
he evidently was, .would bo likely to have more
than $39 on Ins person, and yet that wassail
that could be found. A fall’from the cars in
attempting to. get upon them, would not bo like
ly to produce a wound each as he received, and
certainly would have occasioned more than one.
■We believe in the odage that “murdenvill out,”
and we hope tosee ( it verified in theabove cases,
if it really be that they were jnitrdcred, although
at this time their appears tft'be.noclueby which
this mystery may be solved.
Thanksgiving Pat.—By .reference ’to the
Proclamation of Gov. Packer, which will be
another part of to -day’s paper, it will
be seen that, he has pointed Thursday, the
eighteenth day of November'.as Thanksgiving
Day, instead of the 25th,; which- has usually
been the day heretofore. Wearenot cognizant
of the reason why the Governor, has appointed
the.dayaweek in advance of the usual time,
this year, unless it was that he is anxious for a
good mess of turkey, and can’t wait. How it
will be about onr turkey we can’t say, but pre
same it makes little difference whether the
eighteenth or twenty-fifth be observed as Thanks
giving, so far as that is concerned. We have
never, as yet, - been lucky i enough to sedate a
turkey for Thanksgiving, although we hiave al
ways been remembered about the Hollidays.—
Apropros, we might state, that shooldi any'of
onr iHends have an odd fowl or two abput their
premises, we have the women who know how
to serve'.them up,- are epicureans enoughtoen

“Home Aoaih,” —James’ Plummer, member
of the Tyrone Artillery, , who, as our readers are
already aware, received snob serious injury-at
Camp Quitman, was brought home on the 23d
ult, from Hollidaysburg, where he had lain
oyer three weeks, and was received at the Ty
rone Stationby his Company, the Tyrone Cav
alrjyand a-very large number of citizens and
friends, who all joined in escorting him to bis
father’s bouse, at Upper Tyrone Forges. James
speaks in the highest terms of praise towards
Capt. Barney, of the American Hotel in Holli
daysburg, .and of all connected that first
class house. He says he will ever remember
the very kjnd treatment and attention given him
while suffering with his- wduada. The Captain
has made many friends in ithis section, by his
kindness to Mr, Plummer.; His charges were
quite moderate, and besides, he gave a subscrip
tion of sl4.26. —Tyrone Star.
Remember It.—Remember, reader, that the
Ladies Bazaar opens in Lowther & Flack’s Hall,
on Thursday of next week, (the 1 Ith inst.,) and
closes on Thanksgiving Day, (the 18th inst.)
Remember, also, that it will be one of the fi
nest.exhibitions we have ever had in tips place.
Remember that tiro proceeds of the Bazaar are
to be applied to a worthy object, that of liqui
dating the debt incured in erecting a parsonage
for the worthy pastor of |St. John’s Church,
(Catholic.) Remember, young men, that there
will be handsomevyonpg ladies in attendance to
wait upon you. Remember, young ladies, that
this will be the place to- visit, as all the hand
some young men in town will be there. And be
it Remembered that Excursion Tickets will be
issued from Johnstown, Hollidaysburg, Hunt
ingdon and intermediate stations to this place.
“Fast” Youths. —There appears to be a
growing propensity in the rising generation to
be “dubbed”. “ Young America,” which often
leads the ambitious into i habits of vice and in-
“Young America,” &.C., basiruined many a boy.
Here is a daguerreotype of a “ fast youth” which
we commend to the careful perusal, but not im
itation, of the boys of this place—
“A cigar in his mouth, a swagger in his walk,
impudence in his face, a care-for-nothingnesain
his manner. Judging ft;om; his demeanor he is
older than his father, wiser than his teacher,
more honored' than the mayor of the town.—
Stop him 1 he is too fasti he don’t know his
speed! Stop him, ere tobacco shatters his
nerves, ere whiskey makes a beast of him, ere
his pride ruins his character, ere the “ lounger
masters the .man,” ere good ambition abd man
ly strength give way to low. pursuits and bru
tish aims. Stop all such boys! They are le
gion—-the shame of their families, the disgrace
of their towns, the sad and solemn reproach to
themselves.
S&* Among the fashion items which are
floating about in our exchanges, we find the
following:
All dresses are now made, without basques;
the corsage n-point and double skirts are rarely
seen. Flounces continue -in faror for both thin
and thick materials; and are! worn in the street
as well as at evening entertainments. The bur
nous will be the most fashionable style of au
tumn and winter outer garments. Casques, of
the same material as the robe, are-also worn,
and from a very suitable and becoming walk
ing costume. They are tight to tbq'figure, and
without any trimming. Dark plain silk are
much in vogne for this style; of costume. The
skirt, under lie b isque, is perfectly plain, with
out any ornament, excepting |a row of large but
tons down the front, matching those oh the cor
sage 6f the casque. The very' warm weather
has prevented any display, b yet, of autumn
and winter modes.

Ipe friends of the ferally arc requests d to meet at the

takes place at 4 o’clock.
, In Altoona, Blair comity, fa., on the morning of the
28th td& of disease of the heart, Dr. GABBIER t>. THOM
AS, in the forty-third year of his ago.
‘ ThosnbJectof the above notice was In some respects ho
ordinary man. He was bom in Penn’s Talley, Pa., and
was one of eleven children, but three oflPrhom survive*
him. Hit mother was widowed in hl« yonth. and left with
the care and responsibility of this largo firmly, whum she
carefully and., piously trained. Her eflbrts were greatly-,
blessed, and her prayers answered. 'Bo fir as the writer is
'lnformed they were all early brought into the fold of the
Lamb. Gabriel, while yonng, united with Spring Creek
Chnrcb, of which Bev. Bobert Hammll is now pastor, then
under the pastoral care of Her, D, McKinney, whom
. he ever regarded os his spiritual father. and to whom -ho
wus most d vbtedly attached. By hfaowid e-AwHot.*. hs
dried by some of hlseldw brothers, he bhtalnedm Wuc*-
:tkm, with the. view priftfcay qonwernttek himself to
tbs service of God In thp work. of thTjllnlßtry. Howaa
h*w«|ejf p»Jsent«J’ flfote eutSihg upon this bis gtoen
DIED.
wortoand devoted himself to the medfcal miiiilrin 14»
I which he won for himself a rcepectabtestcaSag. Be ettr
tered upon ft apractic* o t medicine in the community
when hespentthe reel of hi* Uk- Probabiv attracted
there byhls respect and lorefcr Df. Mcltlnnsr, whtfW*
»2»ln to Meoti* his spiritualgulde, as Pastor of the Holll
daysburg chirth. He wM estenetrei, known In thecom
munltywhere heHYeisnd ww gewvully admired fbr hie
many ThftefcaaAJ byhie consiMentlift, secured theconfr
dence of all Who Knew him, whfle by his kftdnMs. srmr*-
thy and races*, wr* physician, he gained the lore and*-
teem of all who kttaw.blm, and enshrined himself intho
memory of hundreds whose sufferings he had been the ln
swumrat in wUsying. .
When it became necessity to organize a church In AV
toona, of which place he was one of the. first citi ens, he'
was an active mover in that measure. and elected as one Of
its Ruling Riders, which otfice he filled with great credit to
himself, and\ universal acceptance tothe people. Howis !
active, prompt, diligent,prayerful, stolons, laborious and
efficient. He loved the church ardently-^—ehe eeemed ever
to-share largely in his thoughts, and to ho the Ottfoct of Ids
unceasing watchfulness and prayer. Tho Ugh In all other
respects frugal and economical, towards her his liberality
was marked and exemplary. No sacrifice seemed tod great,
if by any means her interests slight be promoted. . i f
Raring his protracted and painful illness, he was patient*
submissive, and, generally cheerful. Though at times So
mourned over his dullness in apprehending the gracious
purpoe-'s of God towards his erring creatures, and longed ftp
fuller and more soul-satisfying views of tho prerlpusness bf
Jesns, yet his confidence in God was never shaken, and his
hope in the blessed Saviour never faltered. And as dineato
j progressed, be" seemed ripening for Heaven and for glory.:
He left his dying testimony for Christ, and passed away
without a olond or a doubt ■' ■ > ‘
In his death, the community have lost a valniblecitireji,
tlic church, a bright ornament; his brethren of tho Eideir-'
ship, a wise and prudent counsellor—bis pastor, a kind,:
sympathizing And liberal friend; and above all, his family;;
- have lost a devoted husband and-a most tender and watch*;
fni father. But our loss is his unspeakable gain. Would 1
to God that we all who knew him might emulate his vfr*
tnea.—frnitate his example—walk lu his footsteps—he;
cherished in life by the sitae hopes, and die tho same tiii-!
omjmant death. Then shall we bo with him for ever in
riie game glorious heaven. His heart-stricken wife, and'
/fatherless littlc-onea We commend to the care and grace of
our Covenant-keeping God.
