Tgt FotrwK w Aitoohai— Although hut lit
tle preparation, comparatively speaking, had
made for tho proper observance of this day
in Altoona, the demonstrations were equal to if
not more imposing than those of last year.—
The two military, companies of the ptaee
anitei l and agreed upon celebrating {he day in
Beale’s woods,, and invited the citizens ofthe
(o , n gnd vicinity to join with them, and we are
pleased to say that the invitation was vqry gen
erally sceepted.
At sn early hour on the morning of onr natal
da;, wc were Awakened by music discoursed by
our excellent Brass Band, on its Way to th& top
of tbe hill above Wcjii Altoona,-followed by the
military Companies.; •On arriving at tbe smmlt
' ' the gaud played a numberof national airs and
the companies '6rtd several salutes. This
brought out .Young America and any qualify of
fire-crackers, pistols and miniature,cannon with
which the noise was kept np and the atmos
phere deeply impregnated with the Oder of
burnt powdef.
At abodt £en o’clock tbe military companies
drew up inline on Annie street, in front ofthe
Masonic temple, where they were joined by a
company of 34 little girls dressed in white, and
wearing blue sashes, to which were attached
tbe names of the rotates they represented.—
They were under the keharge-of George B. Cra
mer, Esq., who we have no doubt felt proud of
bis company, and wellbe might, for the reason
tbit they formed on this occasion, as on a pre
vious one, by far the . most pleasing and impo
sing part of the procession, and were the' ob
served.of all observers.
All things being now ready, the line of march
was taken up and tbe whole town, it appeared,
followed the processiou to the grove. On arri
ving at tbe grove, the assemblage was joiqed by
the officers of Tyrone companies, who
were brought put from Hdlfelftyaburg, whither
they had gone- to attend.,the military election;
After n short tithe epentin arranging tbe pre
liminaries, the assemblage was called to order
br appointing Capt Jos. Bell, of Tyrone, Pres
ident of the meeting, Jesse Smith, James Mann,
Daniel McCoy and E. D. McCrum, Vice Presi
dents, and Dr. J. T. Christy and J» 6.

■liyrt sketch of the history of oar country down
t i the present time. His effort was worthy the
man and the occasion, and was listened to with
attention. At the . close of the address, three
cheers were given for Washington, three for the
Jiy we celebrate, three for the orator of the
day and three for the President of the meeting,
alter which the assemblage waft dismissed fpr a
few minutes to give the Committee of Arrange
ments time to spread the festal board with the

Fisk.—About 1 o’clock on Sunday morning
last, our citizens were aroused from their
slumbers by the cry of “ fire!” and the ringing
of the alarm belt On repairing to the depot,
to which all appeared to be hastening, the canse
of the alarm was found to be the burning of the
house on one of the locomotives standing in the
Half-Round-House. A plentiful supply of water
was soon thrown upon the flames and the fire
extinguished. No damage, other that the dee*
truction of the boose, was done. We did not learn
bow the fire originated.
Reunions.—On Sabbath last, lie congrega
tion in at the Methodist Chore*, had
the pleasure of listening to a moat excellent and
impressive sermon, delivered by Rev. Dr. Roe,
from the word*, “Hope maketh not ashamed.”
The age and reverential appearance of the
speaker,; and the animation which the repetition
of the words ofthe text appeared to excite
within him, visibly affected the entire aadience.
In the evening the pnlpit waa filled by Prof.
Gaddis, of Cincinnati, now on a tour addressing
Safibath {Schools and lecturing on Temperance.
In the:morning, the pnlpit of the Presbyte
riap Chnrph was jfilled by Rev. MoGlaren, of
Westmoreland ooonty, who has been appointed
to this charge to | fill the place of Rev. A. B.
Clark, the pastor in charge, who is now laboring
under anaffection-of the throat, which prevents
him .from performing pulpit duties. In the
evening the pnlpit was filled by Rev. Barrett,
of Mount:Pleasant, Armstrong county.
The second quarterly meeting for the present
Conference year, trill be held in the M. E. Church

on the evening of the same day, a temperance
mais meeting will be held in the Methodist
Church, on which occasion addresses will be
delivered |by H.i R. Smith, O. W. P., Wm.
Nicholson* Q. S. and others. We trust the im
portance Of the cause is of sufficient magnitude
to elicit a| gcneneral attendance of its friends,
apart from the popularity of the speakers whom
we expect to address us.

Altoona Division No. 311, S. of T.
Altoona; July 18, 1859.

containing 69 stalks —every stalk having a per
fect; head—all produced from one grain. It war
of the Tennessee White Wheat seed and raised
on his farm at Sewickley, west of the Alleghe
nies- Hh informed us that a bunch containing
76 stalks had been found in the same field, but
was; cut down before it was discovered. He cut
ISOjdosen of this wheat from 4 acres of ground.
It had not been Injured in the least by the frost,
the jhoads;wcrc large and the grains well filled.
We consider this wheat hard to beat
T£MPGi|axce Lecture. —lt is again our plea
sure to announce that we are to be favored" with
another temperance lecture, by Prof. Qaddis, of
Cincinnati, to bo delivered in the Methodist
Church, on Thursday evening next We need
not -urge those who had the pleasure of hearing
the Prof. G’s lecture before the Methodist Sab
bath School, on Sunday afternoon last, or his
sermon in' the same church in the evening, to
attend bis lecture, as they will turn out en
masse. To those who did not hear him we would;
say, do not miss this treat. the church be
filled.
Pic Nics—This day two weeks ago, the Se
lect School under the charge of Mr?, and Miss
King, anff the. United Brethren Sunday School,
cat the day in a manner delightful to. the
scholars,; the former in a grove near the resi
dence of j?eter Miller and the latter in Beale’s
Woods, South of town. The weather was all
that 1 could be desired, neither too hot nor too
cool; Everything passed off pleasantly as it
should on such occasions, and the pleasant coun
tenance of the children, on their return in the
evening, betokened the pleasure they bad en
joyed. "
Fecit Trees. —We would direct the attention
of those of our readers who wish to set out fruit
trees this! fall, to the advertisement of Mr. R.B.
Taylor, iff another column. Mr. Taylor has a
fine norseir, in the west ond of town, contain
ing several thousand trees of all kinds which
willjbe ready (ibr i transplanting this season.—
He understands the business perfectly and has
given much attention to his stock, and we con
confidently recommend it to those who wish
froth trec|| of almost any kind.
Fjee uf MAETtNfiBCRp.—On Saturday week a
fire in the stable of Rev. Mr. Graham
in the above named place, in this county, which
consumed Jibe building and also a carriage worth
$l5O. Several buildings-in the immediate vicini
ty canght fire, but; through the extra exertions
of tfie cititeus of the place, but little damage
was jdonei;them. The fire originated through
the carelessness of some boys who bad crept in
to the stable to enjoy 4 smoke. >

Severely Beaten.— -Off of the
4th inat.. a band of ruffians, assaulted and se
verely beat Charted Fleck, engineer on the Mail
Train, while passing along one of the streets of
Harrisburg, injuring him so much that he was
unable to take ohaige of bis engine for several
days. Harrisburg is becoming notoriops for the
number and attrodty of assanlts made on indi
viduals passing through Its streets.
Tatmr|s Sawxih.— -If you wish- a jglass bf
soda water—cod and refreshing—orglass of
mead, or lemonbde, in fact anything in the line
of cooling summer beverages, call at Taylor’s
Saloon,*next door to the Bank. If yoa wish a
saucer of ice cream, pickled oysters, cakes, pies,
nuts; fruits, confectionaries, &c., call at the
same place, and yon will be accommodated in
Isaiah or Lige’s best style.
Tbs Capps.— Notwithstanding the fears enter
tained by the farmers in this vicinity respecting
the wheat crop, we are pleased to learn that it
promises to yield much bettter than for several
years past The grain is better filled will make
better flour, and the yield per dozen will be
much larger than heretofore. This is certainly
cheering news.
Coot W|pATHEE.r-The first few days of last
week were about: cool enough for comfortr—in
fact the mornings were a little too much so.—
We were Informed that there wap roof on the

Wc know of no iurerition of modern times that deserves
Or is destined to occupy a higher niche in the temple of
1 fame, than thediscovery or invention of the Vegetable Ep
iletic Pills, for curing Epilepsy, or Failing Fits, Spasms,
Cramps, and oil the various modifications of Nervous Dis
ease. Dr. Seth & Dance, of 108 Baltimore at., Baltimore,
Md., the inventor, is certainly entitled to the best wishes
of oil the benevolent portion of mankind, who experience
a pleasure in the alleviation of human suffering. When
Dr. llance first prepared these 'Pills, he intended them sole
ly for Fits, Cramps and Spasms; .but subsequent experience
satisfactorily proved to him, that in addition to their re
markable sanative properties in this class 61 diseases, they
exerted a perfect control over the nervous system. .He
vrfls then induced to try them in cases of Neuralgia, Tic
Doloreanx, Nervous Headache, Palpitation of the Heart.
Incipient. Paralysis, Hysteria, Muscular Debility, and a
host of minor diseases, springing from a lack of nervous
energy, in all of which his anticipations were crowned
with the most. sanguine success, -Persons at a distance,
by writing and sending a remittance to Dr. Banco, can
have the medicine forwarded by mall to their post office
address, ha paying the postage. The prices arc for a sin

ered it my duty, end mode It my business, to make those'
articles known wherever I went among my frfends. A
short tln\e ago I became acquainted with the ease of a
young girl, who seemed to be troubled with worms and
liver complaint, at tbe. same time, and had been suffering
for some two months. Through -my persuasion she pur
chased one bottle of Dr. IfeLanVs tirmifuge, aftdotfe box
of Liver ViUs, which she took according to directions.—
Tbe result was, she passed a largo quantity of worms, and
thinks that one box more of the Pills will restore her to
perfect health. Uer namo and residence can bo learned
