They arrived in Pittsburgh; on Monday night at 9 o’clock, apd, were received by a com-, mittee and escorted to the Monongiihela Hoose where * gfand supper was served up. They rtnwincd in the city until 4 o’clock jon Tuesday afternoon, when they embarked on the Fast Line, for this place, at which’ they were inyi ted to stop ' over night and take a glimpse of the Alleghe nies as they arc seen from this point Informa tion of their intention to stop with us having b«en generally published throughout the town, arrangements were made to have; VpnTries’ Cornet Band of ilollidaysburg, and the Altoona Brass Bend in readiness to receive them. Short ly previous to the hour for the arrival of the train, the Bands performed aeveral airs in front of the “Logan House,’’ which soQn collected n, a large crowd of people to hail the guests. Owing to the heavy load of passengers, .-there' being some 260 on board, tbe traindid not reach this place until a few minutes before >lO o’clock. After the arrival of the train, the Bauds con tinned ;to play, alternately, for half or three quarters of an hour, until the guestk had been seated to partake of an excellent supper pre pared for them by those prince of landlords, Messrs. Miller & Rowe, of the “ Logan House.” A fine collation was also served up to the Bauds nml « few invited guests. Supper over, a few nirs were performed by the Bands, when Van ' Trios’ Jlaml took passage for home on a special irain prrrvidcd for that purpose. ,U o o’clock next morning, a special train was filled up for an excursion trip to Gallitzin, to enable all who wished to obtain a sight, in day light, of the most grand and picturesque sce neries to he found in Uic country. The greater portion of the party, we think, availed them wlves of this courtesy extended by the Penn’a 11. R. Co., and they certainly did not regret it. Tli« morning was clear and pleasant, affording a fine opportunity to view the scenery without being <Ji»com fitted by heat or cold. The train mu stopped at\a couple of important points on the route, and the passengers allowed to get eut and view the country. All expressed them felvcs highly delighted with the trip and what they had seen, and we may expect grand ac counts of it from a couple of the Cincinnati edi tors who were in the party. The train return ed to Altoona at a quarter before 7 o’clock. Those who did not go up the mountain on the excursion train, employed themselves in. inspec ting the machine: shops of the Company, and other improvements of the town, which they pronounced extensive and handsome. At 8 o’clock the excursionists took passage on the Mail Train, on which they proceeded through to I'biladelpbia, arriving there ut G o’clock in the evening. If wo may judge from numerous ex pressions dropped, iff! should say that the party enjoyed their sojourp in this place exceedingly, and we havO no doubt that they will long re- i member the cordinl welcome extended them and * the efforts put forth to render their stay agree able. Wo doubt whether they will be more agreeably entertained during their trip. Visitous.— During the past week we had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of our esteemed cotcmpornry of the Norristown Repub lican, M. Auge, Esq., who is now on a visit to his friends in this place. Dike all knighte of the quill, he is an affable gentleman, with whom compan ionship is agreeable. May bis sejourn among the mountains prove as pleasant and beneficial *e he could desire. On Friday morning last, our former towns man, John Morrow.

The application of the patent td old cars is veiy easy and the expense small when compared with [ the increased amount of service the oar will thereby be enabled to perform. It is not only a saying in the wear and tear of the car bodies, but is less destructive to the road bed, and has been demonstrated to be a saving of at least 20 per cent, in locomotive power. This latter quality would alone be sufficient to recommend it, if it had no others. ' From the numerous let ters Mr. W, has' received -from; railway men, acknowledging the merits of his improvement, ire think it will bd universally adopted by rail road companies everywhere. We should, be pleased to see Mr. Ward handsomely rewarded j for this evidence of bis skill tod ingenuity. I Tkslpjjbascb Mass Meeting.— On Wednes duy last, | the Grand'Division of the Sons of Temperance of this State, met in the Altoona Division Boom : and' in the evening a mass meet ing Mas held in the Methodist E Church. Wm, .Nicholson,i G. S., was.first called upon toad dress the meeting and responded in a speech of about an hour’s length, abounding in sound ar gument, apt illustrations,, humorous anecdotes, cutting sarcasms, and great encouragement to the metiers of {he order to persevere in the good w °rk. , The meeting was next addressed by Mr. Baker, ofj Philadelphia, who directed his re marks moire particularly to the young and the duty of those having charge of children to instil into their minds principles of temperance. He related several incidents of the good effects of this early total afetinance education, which ap peared to have their weight upon the audience. The closing remarks were made by H. K. Smith, 6. W. P., who is a pleasing speaker, and bis words are always to the point We only regret- ted that the lateness of the hour prevented him from extending bis address. What the effect of the numerous temperance addresses, with which wo have lately been favored, will ultimately be, time alone can tell. Certainly, we think, some good must come out qf them. Should the tem perance cause enjoy the same prosperity for the next five years to eome that the liquor cause has enjoyed in the last five, a great moral re formation will have been worked, and its fruits may be plainly seen. Fisher’s Gat.ef.rt. —While passing along the street, in Uollidayaburg, a few days since, we were very naturally attracted by the dispay of photographs hung out in front of Fisher’s Gal lery, and like every body else, tro stopped to inspect them. Among the likenesses, exhibited were a number with whom we are or werffac quainted, and we hesitate hot to say that more truthful, life-like.profiles could hot be taken. We noticed a large, almost lifersize photograph of Dr. in “oili which would do credit to any artist in the country and would be an ornament to any gallery. W r e noticed also, s photograph, finished in water colors, of Capt. D. 11. Ilbfius, dec’d.,- which is certainly a master-piece of workmanship and at once proclaims Fisher a prince of artists. We can not enumerate all tbe countenances and views arranged for the inspection of the pnhlic, suffice it to say his galory is almost os attractive as those of the cities. The fi&ne W Fisher, as an artist, . €ocBT PaocEKDisos.—We clip the following is not confined to this .locality. He is known \ ' tCmB ° f proceedings, from the Standard nil over the courtry, and liis advice and inatruc- ] of tlu3 week tion is much sought after.

While they were still partially under water, the Branch Train backedvup on the in side track, next the “Logan House,” and when nearly opposite the Ticket Office, the passenger car suddenly left.the track and made a BTme for the Altoona House, in search of dry land. We presume the Superintendent lias no ohjec tipns to the “ model conductor” visiting Mr. Woods occasionally, but we should not bo sur prised if, hereafter, he refuses to let him take his train along with him. *Thc train was soon checked up, and no damage was done other than slightly fracturing pne of the trucks. No per son was hurt, but several were badly frightened. Ssresade.— the arrival of the Fwt Line, on Tuesday evening last, Van Trips’ Cornet Band honored several of our citizens, ourhitmble self (the Senior) among the num ber, with a serenade, for which they have the thanks of all so honored . The Band is composed of excellent musicians .and as clever a set of fellows as can he. found this side of sun-down. So long as such men as brother Trangb, the ‘‘.model condpctor" apd funny Aleck, are nhmt bered among Us members, It will be a popular institution.

We .have pot yet seen any of the articles to be placed on exhibition and sale, but presume there [are many nice ones, judging from the skillful fair hands engaged in getting them up. We hope tooce the Fair liberally patronized by old and yoiing, that the ladies may be suitably re worded for the time and labor spent in prepa ring articles and getting it up. Bor Hulled.—A correspondent of the Whig writing from Fredericksburg, in this* county, states Unit lon the afternoon of tbc 20th inst., whilst Mr. Geo. B. Billing, of that vicinity, was engaged in fouling in hay, he suffered his two little boys to ride the wheel horses while he and another man loaded the wagon. A clap of thunder broke forth suddenly from a small cloud overhead, frightening the horses and causing them to runoff. The little fellow who was ri ding the off-wheel horse was soon thrown, and was so much injured that he expired in a few minutes after being picked up. The other boy remained op the saddle horse and was token off unhurt when the team was stopped in the barn-yard.' Horse Stolen,— We learn from the RegitUr that a valuable horse was stolen from the sta ble of Mr. H. Snively, in Woodberry township, last week. He has not yet been heard from.— Our farmers should be on the alert. From the same paper we learn that the barm of Mr. Win. Able, in Juniata township, was de stroyed by fife on Sunday morning last, togeth er with nil its contents and six large stacks of rye near by it. The barn was full of wheatand hay, and contained his horse gears, &c., all of which is lost, as he had no insurance. His horses were; barely saved. New Wukai Flock.— The Steam Mill in this place i? now turning out an excellent article of flour from new Wheat. We have tried some of it, manufactured from the common red wheat, and find.that it makes most excellent bread, although not quite soA*ir as it will make when a little more dryeal/' A lot of new white wheat has just been received at the mil!, from which a superior quality of Spur in now being, manufactured. The fact thatlhe grain of this year will make moeh better flour, and consequently better bread, will be gratifying intelligence to the good women of the land who have been sorely per plexed of late on account of having bad bread. Bkaxt’s Row. —The new buildings put up on Brant's jot ore now completed, but they are no ornament to the town. On the contrary, they evidence a want of taste, in not suitably . improving this, one of the best lots in town, f with a good building, the income from which would cqrtaiijly be equal to that derived from the present unsightly shed row. We hope that it will soon fall into the hands of some of our enterprising cijtizens, who will remove the pre sent tenements and erect a building which will correspond with those now going up in the im mediate vicinity. Mabblk .Yapd. — A visit to the marble-yard of Messrs. Freeman & Hoover, Hollidaysburg, will be sufficient to convince any person that their work can not'be excelled ip the country. We examined, n number of specimens, a few days since, and consider the design and finish appropriate tts|d beautiful. ' Besides doing up their work in I a creditable, manner, they are clever and gentlemen, with whom there is no trouble id dealing. Gas aj6» Waterworks. —The work of exca- op the reservoir for the water works thi gasometer and buildings *9* thr gas |rorl«f, hM allotted to J. M.

" •■■ ■ ■:' i <.' ;'! ■ : '" ‘ ‘ ■', ’ ’ Asotbkr Lawyer.. —By reference to a card in another column, it will be seen that we are to bave another lawyer in our rapidly growing city, in 'the person of Wm. E. Boyers, Esq., who “ .»• teke it, from the slight acquaintance we have with him', is a perfect gentleman. He hears the reputation of being an excellent law yer. With three, and sometimes four, lawyers In our town, we think, that oil who g« to law hereafter should be able to get justice, provided the lawyers don’t so mix up their cases that the belligerents can't tell where they stand them selves. Natceal Curiosities.— —During tbe latter part of last wssk, a tall specimen of a Canadian opened a show of natural curiosities, or freaks of nature, in Shultz’s Hall. His exhibition consisted of a dog and cat with three legs each, a chicken with three legs, a double calf, a hairy chicken, duck with three legs, and several other articles too numerous to mention, all of which he exhi bited for the extremely low prtpe of 15 cents. How much he realized over his expenses, we have not been informed, but presume not a great deal, if he took in many counterfeit half dollars. The Snake Man. —During the last few days there has been on exhibition, in one of tbe new rooms put up on tbe Brant lot, a snake man, considered one of the greatest wonders of the age. His right arm and band represents the body and head of a snake and his left band re presents the head of a dog with the tail of a snake. For our part we must confess that we find no pleasure in viewing such malformations of the human body although we have no doubt the unfortunate man may make a handsome thing out of it by giving these exhibitions. He has been liberally patronized. I. 0. or R. M. Pxc Nic.—The picnic excur sion of Winnebago Tribe I. 0. of 11. M., to Spruck Creek, on Wednesday of lust week, was a grand affair. Two full car loads were in at tendance from this place, and they were joined by quite a number on the way and at the place •f destination. The day was pleasant and eve rything passed off'harmoniously. Van Tries’ Band accompanied the party and “ blowed out” muisc in its usual excellent style. The dinner af Col. Haslctt's Keystone Hotel is complimen ted in the highest terms. Annual Jubilee.— On Monday last the color ed folks of Hollidaysburg held a jubilee some where in the neighborhood of that town, in commemoration of the emmancipatibn of the slaves from the West Indies. Two wagon loads left this place on the morning of that day to join in the festivities of the .occasion. Their horses and wagons were decorated with numer ous flags, reminding the beholder of the Fourth of July. We presume they had a happy time. Igh. We are not disposed to grumble at the action of the Managers of the County Fair, in having the bills for the Fair printed abroad, because of any- benefits which would have re sulted to us therefrom, as we presume the bills would have been printed at one of the offices in Hollidaysburg. If the printers of that locality are satisfied that work which might be done at home, should be done abroad, it is no concern of ours. Plumbing asd Gas Fitting. —By reference to a card in another column, it will be seen that Geo. A. Oglesby, of Philadelphia, has opened a plumbing and gas fitting establishment in this place. He comes well recommended as an ex perienced man in his business, and is so jovial and accommodating that it will be a pleasure to deal with him. We hope he may have a fair run of custom. Convention —The State Convention of the Junior Sons of America met in Hollidaysburg, yesterday morning. A full delegation is in at tendance from most of the Camps in the State, and among them some very good looking young men. They appear determined to transact all business which may be brought before them in that brotherly manner which characterizes the councils of the fraternity. J.‘ S. of A. Pic Nic. —We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to attend a picnic to be given by the Junior Sons of America of Blair County, at Dell Delight grove, on Friday, Au gust sth. Weather, health and* circumstances permitting we shall participate on that occasion, but whether we do or not, we hope they may have a “ high old time” of it. Cam?

Hollidatsbubo, August, 24, 1859. Missrs. Editors.— On Monday evening of last week, the body of Col. Hofius (whose death vte noticed in our last letter) was conveyed im mediately after his dQmiso to the Armory of the HoUidaysburg F’eneibles, where ityros laid ont In military state f td await the arrival tit his friends.

The Court adjourned last week until tbe October, term, when, there will be a session of three weeks. An Adjourned or Argument Court will bo held in August. We have been informed that the State Con vention of the Junior Sons of America will be held lathis place this week,-commencing on Wednesday. Quite a number of Camps will be represented, and tbe deliberations of the Con vention will no doubt do much to advance the prosperity of the Order. yf. married On the 27th ult, at the Lutheran Parsonage. by Rev J ?
