tlnce the'City Council of Phllarfeiphl*.«Xtended
,0 invitation to the City Councilor Cincinnati to
nat tb« Quaker City; ! which invitation was ne
sted, and on Monday morning last, thoparty,
niimbenog some ninety or one hundred persons,
including » number of ladies, started on the
tri). 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

the advantages it possesses over all others of the
j kind over yet invented, but may notice that it is
no complicated contrivance, is easily understood
by ollfanulmr with car building, and needs only
to be seen to be appreciated It gives strenti
to the car sills and bod>, because no tenoning
or mortising is required; consequently its ap
plication to old-or new cars adds to their efficacy.
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

Rex Off. —'f'he heavy’ shower of rain which
: fell between 6 and G o’clock yesterday evening,
created such a flood of water in our streets that
the sewers and gutters could pot contain it, in
consequence of which the railroad tracks in
front of the “ Logan House’’ were entirely sub
merged. 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.

Episcopal Chdrch Fair. —The ladies cqd
nected with? the Episcopal Church, in this place,
intend holding a Fair in the Librai-y Room of
the Altoona Mechanic’s Library and Reading
Room Association,- to open on Tuesday, August
ICth, and continue four days, the proceeds of
which are to be applied to the liquidation of the
debt jncurred in the erection of their church.
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*

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? Meeting. — A camp meeting of Birming
ham Circuit T|ill be held on the farm of Mr.
Thos. Trout, about four miles from this place,
commencing on Friday, August 19lh to con
tinue one week. A general invitation Las been
extended to the members of the Methodist E.
Church, of this place to unite in the meeting.
Notice. —The third instalment v on the Capi
tal Stock of the Altoona Gas and Water Com
pany will be due and made payable at the Bank
ing House of Wm. M. Lloyd & Co., on or be
fore the ICth day of August, 1859.

Firemen, Attention ! — A regular meeting
of the Citizens Fire Company will be held in
