P % q_ j, HimtDkad.—lt ls with feelings of
jwpiet sorrow that we this week neord the
nf oar late andesteemed.fellowftowns-'
jno Dr. C. J. Hirst, which occurred otf thuri
fy morning last at Galesburg, Illinois, to
v bich plane he removed about the middle of
Jbso last. He was attacked with billions fever
|i#ft ]j after his arrival at Galesburg, from
tbich ho nem recovered, although at times he
fU ,blet° be up and move from thence to
jjonmoutli, 16 miles distant, and back. It wos
reported in this place, some few weeks since,
th»t ho was dead, but because we had nb
foundation for the report, we did not notice it,
bettering it false; but. the letter received on
Sunday morning, from Lis brother, Eev.. Wm.
Hint, leaves no room for doubt, destroys onr
hopes and confirms the fears we had that such
would eventually be the ease. In Lis death his es
timablo wife losses one who was to her a husband
iu every sense of the word, and no higher tribute,
to bis memory in this respect could be paid;
bis relatives a kind and affectionate companion,
and the community an exampleofperaeverance,
integrity, liberality humanity.morulityand nil
last adorns a man and makes him a useful mem
ber of society. His relatives, in this the hour of
their bereavement will hiaTe the sympathy ©fall
who enjoyed the pleasure ofhis acquaintance, as
his demise is universally coupled withexpres
•ions of swkow. In the midst of their affliction his
friends can console themselves with the reflec
tion that he had made suitable preparation for
tbs change which sooner or later awaited him,
utd that ere long, if they too are provident as
he, they shall meet him where sickness never
comes, where death is no longer feared, where
(ho p.ia of parting is never felt, and sorrow is
unknown.
SchMitß Ended —The Summer of Fifty-nino
is pae: and gone forever and we have entered
upon the delightful season of.the “ sere and yel
.,n »f; The harvest is past—the Summer
“tl— the leaves of variegated hue are al-
Ksu. making their appearance on the forest
iracj—and soon the voice of the “Katydid”
»ad the light of the glow-worm will usher in
the Autumnal evenings. How short the time
seems since Spring was with us, so swiftly do
toe seasons pass! .The years of human life
Lave very aptly been compared to the degrees
cf longitude which shorten as we approach the
poles. The ardent youth thinks the years of
fearful length until he attaint maturity-then
they seem shorter, and increase with every sub
sequent period of life’s journey until he ex
claims, with Jpbj|“ My days are swifter than a
weaver's shuttle.” Autumn is the most de
hgbtful season; teeming with the fruition of the
year—the harvests are gathered, the fruits are
r.pe, and plenty abounds. It infuses a soothing
and tranquilixing influence over the mind, and
disposes to contemplation and gratitude.
Citizens’ Engine and Hose Company.— The
teal with which the members of this company
hsve entered into the spirit of their work, de
serves success, and if we do not have a good
fire company and a good engine, it will not be
die fault of those engaged in the work, but may
bo attributed to the short-sightedness of the
property-holders of the town. The Committee
tppi mted by the company to receive subscrip
tions and mpney for the purpose of purchasing
in engine -and a quantity of hose, desire
that nil subscribers should pay up previous to
the 12th of September,-and w,e sincerely hope
the response will bo instantaneous and libc-
ra’. It seems to us useless that we should
here recount the advantages of having a good
fire engine and company in this place, as we
presume all are nwarc of them; therefore
ve will only add that now is the time to aid
ia securing what’ the nature of the build
lags and the good sense of the people tells them
that the town demands, via: a means of protec
lion in case of fire.
The Encampment. —From the extensive prep
arations now being made, and the number of
companies from a distance that have signified
their intention to participate therein, wfoelieve
that the encampment to be held at Tyrone, com
mencing on Monday week,. 19th of Septemb r,
will bo one of the largest and best ever held iu
the interior of the State. > There are 11 compa
nies in this county, all of whom will be on hand,
together with some 10 or 12 companies from
f.swbria, Clearfield and Centre. It is also ex
pected that -Cupt. HnmbriglitV company, from
Lancaster, and the Duqueane Grays, of Pitts
burgh, will visit the Encampment. Arrange •
meats are now being made with an aeronaut, of
Lebanon, John A. Light, to have a balloon as
cension on Thursday afternoon. This will add
materially to the attractions of the programme.
The ground selected for the encampment is well
adapted to the purpose, and has been suitably
prepared. The citizens of Tyrone are taking
great interest in the affair, evincing that they
*re a public-spirited people. We hope their ex
pectations may be fully realized.
Tobacco for Sots. — A strong writer admin
wters a wbolsome doso to the boy chewers and
lookers, assuring them that tobacco.hasspoiled
ln d utterly ruined thousands of boys, inducing
4 dangerous precocity, developing tbe passione,
softening and'weakening the,bones, and
“joring the Spinal mariow, the brain, and the'
*iol* nenroua fluid. l A bog who early, and
n <luently smokes, pr in any jray usee large
of tobacco, nprer isknown to make
4 ®»n of much energy of cbatweter, and gener
4'y lacks physical and mnsbaiar, as well as
Cental energy. We would particularly warn

Are W ® pohiibhuig a paper to enlighten heathen
we talking to Jroe-made citiaens
of Nation? We are reaUy
ashamed to publish the above disgraceful feet,
but we beg our distant renders to exercise n
little chanty for onr town—perhaps oar people
did not know there was a contribution box in
the post-offico—we hope they did not; and-now
that they; have had due notice thereof, we hope
to have a|. mach better report to give of the pa
triotism of the cifuenship of Altoona, at the end
of next month. Wo shall see.
Bsath! bt Skake-Bit*.— We learn that on
Thursday! of last week, about one o’clock, a lit
tle boy of six years—son of John Weaver, who
lives about two mijes above Bald Eagle Fur
nacc—followed a eat to the lower end of the
pmlen, when a.rattiesoake bit him eleven times,
just the knee. Another little brother
called to bis father, who was at.some distance,
that bis | brother was bitten by a snake. The
father ran, picked up the child and put some
clay on the wounds, for they were bleeding pro
fusely ; he then carried it to the boose, but’be
fore reaching the hduse, the child became death
ly sick, yomited copionsiy, and was soon en
tirely helpless. A physician was sent forJbut
about ninjc o’clock the next morning, deathfput
an end tp the little fellow’s sufferings, ifis
thought that the fangs of the snake had struck
a leading artery, which carried the poison
throughout (he child's entire systciu at once, so
that nothing could be done for him when the
physician arrived.— Star.
Child paowsED. —On Friday afternoon last,
a little boy, aged about two years, son of John
Wejsh, living on Branch street, East Altoona,
wandered; out of .the house, while his mother
was doing something up stairs, and went to a
well in thje yard, on which there was a loose
board. As soon as the mother came down stairs
and missed the child she made search for
and discovering that the well-board had been
shifted she rushed to the spot, only to find her
fears realized, -The cliild had fallen in and was
drowned. The water being near the top of the
well she reached in and pulled him out and gave
the alarm to the neighbors, a number of whom
came in immediately and endeavored to resusci
tate the child, but it was too late—the vital spark
had fled. Mr. TVelah is a brakesman on one of
the freight trains on the Penn’a Railroad and
was from home at the time. An inquost was
held by Coroner Fox and a verdict in accordance
with the sibove returned.
Boys in Trouble.— On Sunday last, a num
ber of bojjs of this place feloniously entered
the orchard of Mr. Bell, residing over the hill,
and carried away a quantity of apples. Excur
sions of this kind having become rathgr nu
merous, Mr. Bell concluded to enforce the law,
made and provided for such cases, and make an
example of the lads which would be a warning
to others. | Accordingly ho had a warrant issued
for their arrest and placed in the hands of
Constable! Ely who succeeded in nabbing two of
the boys on Monday evening and conveying
them before Esquire Cherry, who imposed a
fine on each and then let them off. The Con
stable has no doubt caught the others ere this
and made them settle up There are a number
of bad boys about this place who need a touch
of Ac law, and we are glad to know that they
arc about to receive it.
Opening of the Schools.— On Monday last
the public schools in this place were opened un
der the supervision of the teachers heretofore
announced. As a matter of course there was
considerable confusion among the “ young’uns”
in gathering up books. &c , and many wry faces
were made as the command to “ potter off” pas
issued by the parents. Wo can easily imagine
the feelings of the juveniles who are thus de
prived of the sports which they were enjoying
during the holidays. Once we dreaded the
words “ school commences to-day,” and would
gladly have escaped to a land where there were
no schools- Now, however, our only regret is
that we djd not gladly welcome the sound and
make befljer use of bur time ; and so it will be
with those who are now enjoying a privilege,
the most to be prized on earth, that of obtain
ing a good education.
tSF It is seldom that a drunk man is seen in
om Streets, consequently the boys consider it
almost a throat to come across some unfortunate
individual 1 who has imbibed sufficiently to bring
liim within their reach to torment. Passing up
street the other evening, we quite a
crowd collected in the neighborhood of the IL
R. ticket i office, in the centre of which was a
wretched looking being who had taken on such a
heavy loac of tangle-foot Whiskey that he could
n 9* Oavig ite, and .the boys were enjoying the
dtleetable pport of letting him “ drap” heavily
.on bis posterior at every opportunity. It was
no: doubt inn for the boys, bat hard on the di
lapidated yadividual’s corduroys. Seriously, we
could not but think that boys who would thus
impose op! an unfortunate man werb as much
deserving of a place in die “ Look Dp” as he
phom they tormented

CoNtESorc op Court.—A man named Meloy.
who wr6 an important witness for the Common,
wealth in several liquor caeea which came up at
last Court in this county, but who was non nt
when his name Was called, was brought up at the
adjourned Court on the 24th ult., on attachment,
and fined $2O and costs, and ordered into the
custody of the sheriff until the sentence be com
plied with. 'The Judge intimated that his
straightened circumstances La J this time secured
him a imodcrnte punishment, but that a fine of
three times that amount would be imposed in
like cases in future. The Pittsburgh Chronicle in
remarking on this case says“ Judge Taylor is
not a man to trifled with, and if there were
more courts !l|ke his in the State, there would
be fewOr rascals."
Travel ox the P. R. R,—For some time past
the trains on the Penn’a Bail Road have been
carrying a greatly increased number of passen
gers, rendering the addition of another car nec
essary. On .Wednesday morning of last week
there were eight cars in the Express Train
West, hnd all crowded. The certainty of ma
<fcing-ccnneciibns, the safety and the excellent
accommodations the Penn’a Central guarantees
to travelers, is gradually drawing the travel
from its rivals, none of whom can ever hope to
successfully compete with it in any of these par
ticulars. Thb traveler, (rho is not interested in
the success of any of the .rival lines, who once
passes over tlte Penn’a Central will be sure to
praise and patronize it ever afterwards.
Nr.w Restaurant— We arc pleased to inform
our readers, that Wm. B. Smith, of Hollidays
burg, has opened a new restaurant in the base
ment of J. &; J. Lowtfaer’s building. Mr. Smith,
as a caterer tothe sense of taste, bears a repu
tation unsurpassed by any other follower of his
profession in the Country—wo speak by the
book ; for many a meal, fit for a King, has it
been our pleasure to devour at his table. He
intends serving up, besides Oysters, all the lit
tle delicaoies which the season furnishes, and
the wants of the people demand. In fine lie
determines to keep such a Restaurant as Altoo
na never knew or heard, of. Call and see him.
I®* A competent authority says that those
little Mack headed eruptions of in the
pores of the skin, upon the face, which are vul
garly Known as “ flesh-worms,” and which are
so troublesome to many people, may be got rid
of, and: prevented from returning, by washing
with tepid water, by proper friction with a tow

ever raised in, this part of the country, which
are now fast - ripening and ready for market.
He will-leave them a t the houses of those who

Messrs Editors ;—The Public Schools of
this place opened oa yesterday (Monday.) The
children, who have been enjoying a season of
holiday; will now have to shoulder their satch
els and .trarelj to the school room. As I listen
ed to the ojej school bell, yesterday my mind
ran. bade to by by-gone school days, and I
thought' with [what a bejivy heart I took my
books in hand to go to school, after enjoying a
holiday during the summer months. No doubt
some of | the children, wended their way to the
school yesterday, with regret, whilst others
went with very happy hearts. May we not
hope that the; children will now improve the
high privileges which they enjoy, as regards
education.
A vei£r pleasant Sabbath School pie-nio came
off bn Saturday last, in the locality, known as
" Pole-cat-Hollow,” situated in Allegheny towoe

were conducted by Revs. Dosh and Junkin, and
consisted of hyinns, addresses and prayer. The
repast, whiohiwas ample, was composed of the
richest and m'odt excellent “good things.” All

As “fnalx” (stories appear to be in therage,
I will give a abort one. On Sunday last, two
