Who is there among ns that d<jis pot
an interest in preserving the name of
and in liandiog .it down to
.pbeferity as the “ Father of his Country/'
4he wise and just patriot, statestnan and
philanthropist. We feel jure no one could
he .found to say, he or aha did not. . We
are hid to write the above from haring read
the beautiful and touching appeal to the
“ PatriotieLadies and Gentlemen of Blair
County,” hy Mrs. Delia R. Banks, of Hol-
published in another, column,
.-who has kindly taken upon herself the task
..of acting ob “Lady Manager” of the
“ Mount Ladies Association of the
Union,” for thiscounty. Mrs. Banks has
requested a number of ladies in the county
' tb act with her as Solicitors, in the several
towns apd townships, and desires their
gentlemen friends to lend their aid.
. iUb language of the appeal (and we oould
putin no prettier language) we say “let
mountiin-girdlcd Blair—-the cradle of the
s Juqiata, hot be behind her sister counties
in the promptness and liberality of her
response to this claim in behalf of the
llome and Tomb of Washington.” The
'Mount Ycrnon enterprise is in the hands
:of the right sex. When did a woman,ever
fhil in what her lore and will resolved on ?
What man can be found bold enough to
intimate such a thing ? No, the ladies of
the United States will accomplish this great
yrork A purchasing the dust of Washing
ton—of making his home the homestead
df American people. The sex to which i
rye owe pur mothers, will be the guardians,;
the preservers and protectors of the ashes
. .of .ova FAxiuitt, for Washington has just
ly been termed the “ Father of liis Coun
try.” Millions yet to be will thank them
for it. t Now, ye patriotic, chivalous and
gallant men of,this part of “ tittle Blair,”
.' show your patriotism, generosity and gal
lantry, by a proper answer to Mrs. Banks’
appeal. Let not this new progressive
pprtion of Blair fall behind our older
brethren of Oie Sot Uh.

not, there is an American element, Worth
taking into account, in, those States where
in the victories have been attained, which,
while it Agrees with the Republican ele

therefore as exclusive Republican victories
is manifestly incorrect, and may 'work to

LETTER FRO3I HABRIBBIIBC.
Harrisburg, April I2th, 1869.
; At th« time I clow, but -one day and-a half
remains ofthe sessioUof 18<i9, and both Houses
are engaged in legislating at Bail Road time;
bills going through like raftatbrongh a achate.
This hasty way of doing business is sometimes
productive of * considerable amount of evil,
which only becomes apparent some time after
the adjournment.
' The great Fl 7 divorce case has'** collapsed. ”
It fell like a lump of lead, and most have been
worse than an unexpected shower-bath upon
those who Were so confident that they codlden-
gineer it through. Qn Saturday the bill came
CP in the House on the private calendar, when
the House refused to prepare it for a second
reading, by a vote of 72 to. 8. This still does
not kill the bill outright, but it is equivalent to
.a: death-blow, for it is not at all likely that it
will be re-considered, even if a vote be had up
on it. In the early part of the session it might
have passed, "but the delay was fatal to the bill,
for time worked a terrible revolution, andaour
rent of public sympathy set in; in behalf of Mr.
Fry a week ago, which neither love nor money
could stem.
; -The bill allowing Justices of the Peace, with
a jury of five, to decide certain cases, is among
the few which 1 bare watched With a good deal
bf interest, but I regret to say Ujat it has been
doomed ia the Senate. It was reported with a
negative recommendation by the committee to
Whom it was referred, and at the time 1 Write it
is tco late to receive further action.
The act in regard to the preservation of trout
in Blair county was not retched, which is all
the mora to be regretted, as ths House struck
-Blair county out of a bill presented by Mr. Tur
rey, which would have gone a great way toward
preserving them. No matter—if they are not
| aifdestroyed this season, wo shall probably
■ have another chance next fall.
Tke bill to regulate the Insurance Companies ■
of the oities of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia,
has (ailed a third time, and I think the next ef
fort will be a bill founded upon a less objection
able basis. There are no doubt many bogus in
surance companies, the city which should be
crushed out by the heavy hand of the law, but
this is not the kind of a law to do it
The Huntingdon County Busk went down in
the Senate by about the same vote that all the
bank bills fell. I predicted the fall of this bill
although I know its passage was to be urged by
Senator Schell. But in case it had slipped
through, its fate would unquestionably have
been sealed by the Executive.
At the time I write, the Hpuae has got thro’
with its business, and has adjourned until 8
o'clock this evening, to take action on anything
that may be required by the action of the Sen
ate, which is still in session, and considerably
behind.
To-morrow, the Democratic: State Convention
meets, end the town is already filled with Dele
gates from various parts of ! the State. From
the West Branch of the Susquehanna,, a large
> delegation is in town, and'a (heavy train is ex
pected from Old-Berks to-night. The office hold
ers begin to squirm.
I shall have very little more jlegislation to note,
and my next which will be ,mainly devoted to
the Convention.and outside incidents, will close
ny correspondence. LOG AH.
For the Altoona Tribune.
The Poor House.
To E. McGnatv, Esq., Stewart of the Blair
County Poor Home. —Sin—ln your reply to my
communication qf the 30th uli, you politely
state that *.‘hy referring to our (your) report, it
wiU be seen {hat wo (yea) supported 611 in door
paupers during the year 1858, which would
make an average of 51 per month, at the . cost of
$2585 68,bexngforeaohjoneperw«ek 97J cts.”
Myonrroquest 1 examined your apnual re
port and find that the admitted during the year
1858, irere 72, dimitted 62, eloped A, births 3,
death 13, men 305, women 165, children lil—.
total, the amount yon state, .611. '
Please Ull me how yo* rapport the dumititd,
the doped, and (he dead, at the cost of 5)7 J cts.
per week each*?
You further state that I am in error In stating
that each living pauper cost the county $4 dS}
per week, under jour charge. No one will he
more pleased than I to find jou rightinthis as
sertion. Hope it maj so tom but.
In making joar calculation, if I mistake not,
you hate not only charged for keepingthe dis
misstd, the eloped and the dead, but have
emitted entirely tho profits of the ten thousand
dollar farm. What became of all the grain you
acknowledge it produced and that you received 7
What did you do with it 7 Please tell me. At
■What price did you tradeoff many of the articles?
A crop that cost $175 to harvest, ought to be
large enough to take notice of.
If 72 paupers were admitted in 1858, and 62
were discharged,. 4 eloped and 18 died, how
many would remain and how long would it
take to gather together Oil 7
PoxchMeof
Chosen to represent, rti thi* Shite, the Mount
Tenon Ladies’ Association of the Union, lyen
tare to appeal to -the' generous and patriotic
people of. Pennsylvania on this day, the anni-
WftiUjafdM birth of SVashington, for their
lH fn iftiium with 'the people of other States,
tp-oomplete the purchase of Mount Vernon, the
pliue of his -residence and tomb; and to secure
it jtorerer as a public and enduring monument
of their nnabated gratitude for his life-long ser
vioOS, and increasing veneration for his illustri
ovs name. Gratitude to one whose life was so
jtuneruos and exalted; veneration of an example,
enoh as his, of virtues that have so elevated the
character of a public man, may well enlist the
deepest sympathies of the women of America,
and embolden them to claim the aid, not of their
own sax alone, bat ofeiwy one who justly glo
ries in bring a countryman of Waahington,.and
whoa# heart is moved by Actions the purest and
neWest that man cmn render to mankind.
, The object of the Manpit Tenon Ladies’ As
sociation is to obtain, by volantary contribu
tions, * sum nscessaiy to pnrohaso and hold
forever, two hundred acres of the Monns Ver
non Estate, including tho.mansion where Wash
ington dwelt and died, his tomb, ;the garden and
grounds around, them, arid the labding at the
Potomac. by which thoy.are approached. To
collect this stun, Ticerßcgents have been ap
pointed in different States, with iady-managers,
associated communities Of ladies, and advisatory
eommitteea of gentlemen* in the various coun
ties, cities, and principal towns. Every person
by whom ono dollar, toward this fund, is paid,
becomes thereby ia permanent member of the
Association, and is inscribed as such in a rec
ord which will be presorted at Mount Vernon.
Similar arrangements wUI be immediately orga
nized throughout the State of Pennsylvania, and
a public announcement will be given of the per
sons by Whom Subscriptions will be received
and the registry of names be made.
A large amount hah been already collected
from places where thess arrangements have
' been completed. The public press, so influen
j tial in good works, haslent its powerful aid.
Associations established;for philanthropic pur
poses—the fraternity of Free Masons, to which
Washington himself belonged; ithat of the Odd
Fellows; tire voluntary military companies and
firemen, and numerous: bodies assembling to
gether for objects of utility and benevolence,
have everywhere exhibited tire deepest interest,
and united in tbb noble effort with (the most
liberal spirit. Patriotic, individuals have come
forward, with prompt sympathy, to lead and
encourage the several; communities; and the
cheering prospect us held-put that this wide-per
vading spirit, spreading through all parts of
our common country, is insuring complete suc
cess.
Into this alliance of generous fellowship
Pennsylvania is now to: enter. Always distin
guished by devetfon to of voluntary be
nevoleuco, whieh is an inheritance blended with
her name, she has, besides, peculiar associations
connected with Washington, which relate to the
noblest incident& of his graat career. It was in
Pennsylvania that, on the day when the dele
gates from the colonies first mot together, he
appeared ainong thorn to join in the task of
forming a common country. It was in Penn
sylvania that, with unexampled modesty, and
touching expressions of anxious bat devoted
patriotism, he accepted: the command of a little
army, scarcely and resumed the respon
sibilities of on arduous war. It was in Pennsyl
vania that, amid the fiercest severities of winter,
with troops almost furnishing and naked, he
partook their hardships, cheered their spirits,
and kept them united to win the triumphs to
which he afterwards ltd them. It was to his
“fellow soldiers; and; faithful followers in the
military line of .Pennsylvania,” that he cxpres-'
s aed, when the war waf closed, and with a mind
deeply affected, his grateful sense of their at
tachment and aid. It waa in Pennsylvania that
he placed his all-conciliating name to the Con
stitution which has oeinentod the Union; it was
hero that he became its first and most illustriouus
President; it was here that he addressed to his
country that memorable Farewell with which
he closed his public aitd immortal career.
To ask, then, the vtomen 6f Pennsylvania to
unite with their sisters throughout the Union
in this tribute tp the ef Washington—
to appeal to all the people of Pennsylvania to
give to this great object their generous encour
agement and assistance—is but to solicit from
them a patriotic scrvice> to which they are cal
led by associations connected with his memory
that cannot po surpassed, nor hardly equalled,
in nay portion of that wide country which glo
ries in his name. v

I deem it unnecessary to add to the impressive
plea which the accomplished Vioe-Bcgent has
made, and would only remind my patriotic sis
ters of Blair, apd the gentlemen upon whose
generosity we also relyi that with ,no State in
the Union is the name and; fame of
more closely or gloriously identified, than with
Pennsylvania. ] His first three battles were upon
our soil, and in tho-westorh part of our State;
and so long as: the pamesiof Brandywine, and
Germantown and Valley tforge are classic in oar
history; so long miy we claim the “ Father of

wia there also; that-his wise and ■ppUesscivil

ExßCurtOß or Four Men. —In Baltimore jail
yard on FHday last, the four murderers, Cropps
Gaabrin, r Corrie ahd Cyphns, wore hung on
one gallowyall exhibiting remarkable compo
sure and nerve on the occasion. Cyphnswas a
negro, and the rest white men. Gambtill and
Cyphus solemnly protested their innocence.—
Cropps left a note, to be read after hi* death,
confessing his guilt. He* went to the riHon
singing a hymn. Not less than thirty thousand
persons crowded the tops of neighboring bauiea
and hills to see the spectacle. Baltimore is well
rid of all these wretches, who, notwithstanding
their allegations of innocence, were cloarty'p ro “
ven guilty. Two of them must, therefore, have
died with a lie on their lips. They WOtrriotu
ous outlaws of the worst stamp. Henry Gam
brill leftla long written statement, giving his
version of the murder, in which he alleges that
a companion of his, naaed Harris, committed
the bloody deed.. They wens all in a drunken
gang together at the time, snd : bad broken into
a boose and created a rio£ which a policeman,
nanied Bentofi, Was \ trying to- supprims, when
they killed him. Higdon, another .-policeman,
was the chief witness against Gambrill, and he
was lulled by Cropps to prevent his tostyfying.
Gambrill kept a liquor shop, which bo called a
restaurant. The following paragraph of his
statement is interesting:—
“ 1 feel it my doty ,Ito give a word of advice
and counsel to my former associates and com
panions, which is to avoid evil company, as to
this, mor« than any other circumstance, is to be
attributed my . lamentable end. Avoid intem
perance—follow some lawfal and legitimate
pursuit in life—better join the church than join
the clubs—and seek for happiness where it alone
can be found, in ierving God. Perhaps I ought
to say the great error of my life was in opening
the restaurant, contrary to the wishes and en
treaties of my dear father.”
The Great Billiard Match. —The Detroit
papers announce the arrival in that oitj of Mr.
Phelan, who is to play a game of billiards with
Mr. Secreiter for $lO,OOO ; and the arrival of
Mr. Cavanogh, who is matched against Michael
Foley. They say the differences between Mes
srs. Phelan and Secreiter have been settled;
that the playing will be in public ; the tickets
five dollars, and disposal of the proceeds io be
settled by umpires after the match shall have
besn played. The money has been deposited
for the main stake. They say that, a few days
ago, Secreiter made a run at caroms of one
hundred and sixty. He made a run of one
hundred and twenty during his match with
Barney Chrystal, which was considered the best
on record.
The billiard match between Dudley Eavanagh
and Michael Foley, of one thousand, points, for
$250 a side, has just been decided in favor of
Eavanagh, who won by eleven points. The
greatest run was made by Eavanagh, of one
hundred and seventy-seven points.
Touching Scene.— After his usual Wednes
day evening lecture, last night, the Rev. Mr.
Beecher presented to his congregation the case
of a slave mother in Virginia who had been
freed with her five children by the will of her
deceased mistress, but whom the heirs, availing
themselves of legal technicalties, had again re
duced them to slavery. A humane slave dealer
had bought them all for $l,OOO, and'bad offered
the mother their freedom for the same amount,
at the same time allowing her to come North,
with one of her children, to raise the ipon'ey—
taking her word of honor that she would return
She had collected $5OO in Philadelphia, and
now solicited $5OO more. Mr. B. called on her
to stand up. She rose* as white, as free appar
ently from all taint ef negro blood in hue, or in
her speech or manners as any member in the
congregation! And her little brown haired boy
was os sweet a child as any mother fondles in
New York. Over $3OO was collected on the
spot, the remaining $2OO, we eannot doubt,
was sent to Mr. B. the next morning. It is in
all its aspects one of the most meritorious ap
peals ever made to a rich and benevolent com
munity!.
A Jaw must Observe tub Sabbath to Exjot
its Immunities. —A singular case came up be
fore the Marine Court, at New York, on Satur
day last. A Summana bad been served upon
the defendant, Henry Haym, a Jew, on Satur
day,- March 5 th. 1869. This he moved to set
aside on the ground that it was made contrary
to law. It appeared in evidence that the defen
dant, at the time the service was made, bad
taken passage on a steamboat, and was just
purchasing a newspaper, and was also in the
habit of keeping his store open on Satnday.—
Judge Thompson thereupon decided that as the
defendant did not keep the seventh dgy of the
week holy, he could not avail himself of the
Statutje designed to protect those who faithfully
observed it.
The Menpfais Avalanche says:—“ Mike
Walsh had three brothers and a sister, of whom
Mike was the youngest. They bad been scat
tered in all directions upon the death of their
father. Mike alone remained with his mother.
A most singular fatality befel them all. One of
the brothers was shot iu a duel, across the ta
ble in a southern city, another fell by the
side of the brave Crockett, ait the massacre
of the Alamo, the third brother was burned
in the Ben Sherrod, and the sister perished in
the ill fated Lexington. The mother soon fol
lowed her children, leaving poor Mike to meet a
; death, under the circumstances, more terrible
than any of the rest.
Deserted ox his Deathbed.— An individual
in Sandusky, Ohio, who has been- pining sway
with consumption for the past year, was de
serted by his unfaithful wife on Tuesday of last
wsek, whe stripped the house' of every thing,
except a cooking-stove and the couch upon
which the dying man reclined, and left the city
with a neighbor, whe in turn left a wife and
of children. The shock proved too much for
the enfeebled husband, and he died the hext
night No friend remained to minister to blm
m hli dying moments except a younger brother,
a more l«d, and strangers performed the last
had rites at bio grave,
tST“ Mr Horton, the representative of Dex
ter, in the Maine Legislature, is said to be the
“ smartest” man in it. He went, last week,
sixty milesto attend a Republican Convention,
went afterward to the town meeting of his own
teWn, walked into the ranks of the enemy, by
marrying, in the meantime, the daughter of a
leading Democrat of Dexter, re-appeared With
bis wife at the capitol, and resumed his duties
as a legislator, hating been absent only two
sessions. If there is a vacant on the Presi
