DiSißEssiso Accident. — Again it is our pain
ful duty to chronicle one of those distressing ca-
IsmilifH. which are the concomitant results of
railway improvement. The facts of the case
ure as follows:— On Friday morning Inst, Wil
liam Miles, foreman of the coal deliverers to en
gines. in the yard in this place, came down'to
tbe yard a few minutes before 7 o’clock, and
was crossing the tracks to bis work when be
was knocked down and run over by an en
gine and tender which was*backiug down
the yard, find instantly killed. It is supposed
il,at he did net bear the engine backing down,
oh account of the noise made by another engine
naich was pulling a train up the yard and was
close in him, on an adjoining track. His legs
were completely crashed from the knees down,
and the back part of his head broken in. A
ifrsoti who seen him just ns .the tender struck
him, roii to him as soon as the engine passed
„vcr him, and attempted to pick him up, but
louml that life was extinct. Mr. Miles was an
old resident of this place, and was muck rcspec
icJ by all who knew him. Ho leaves a wife
iud two children to motfru their*sudden loss.—
His remains were followed; to the Catholic Cem
etery. on Sunday, by the largest concourse of
people, with one exception, that wc have ever
seen in Altoona.
.Utiv.vL or the Fine Engine. —According to
previous announcement,' the engine of the Citi
icns Fire Engine and Hose Company arrived on
Haturday morning last, and tit 1 o’clock in the
afternoon some 35 or 40 of the Company met
for parade. They were dressed in-wbitc shirts,
Mack pants and glazed caps. The Engine,
which is. one of the prettiest in the country, and
we may include the cities also, was handsomely
uveorated with wreaths. The company, after
taking charge of the machine, paraded through
itic streets laid down in the programme pub-
t • fuunil in either city or country.
'.nuther trial of the Engine will be made on
s iiuriay afternoon nest, at 1 o' dock.
Thanksgiving. —Thursday, 2l\h inst., is
Thanksgiving, and no doubt many of our voung
toilers ate anxiously awaiting its arrival, with
ms.', ns of roast turkey and accompanying “fix-
iti? ” The turkeys, too, are no doubt holding
animated meetings, cndcayoriag to decide which
< f them shall have the honor of gracing the ta
ble of an editor on that as that is an honor
to bs prlicd. Of course they do not wish to be
bartered to him for “ filthy lucre,” but to be
droppeO into his sanctum in bis absence, or left
at his house, “ with the compliments of ”
hi-., or without any compliments’, sfn they get

Puesdvteriak Cotosr,— A convention of
representatives connected 'with this enterprise—
which we have already several times mentioned
—met in this place on Wednesday, 26th ult—
Me had not leisure to attend its sessions, but
we uhdcfstand 'that'its deliberations were mark
edly much ability, sound practical wisdom, and
gentlemanly, comity, whilst a most remarkable
.degree of harmony .prevailed in their courses
and decisions. After a .close session of a little
more than two days ami evenings, their plans
were matured—an exploration committee ap
pointed, and a central executive committee, to
receive subscriptions of stock and to shape the
enterprize according to the written constitution,
and carry the whole into effect. The delegates
were from six diilcrcnt States, and they seem
like earnest men, determined to go forward.—
Dr Junkin of this place, was requested to net
as Chairman of the central executive committee, j
John A. Crawford was appointed its Secrct.-.ry. I
and Rev. J. Jl Hamilton, of Bell’s Mills, and j
Captains Minier and Stiller, of this vicinity, are j
the other members. Messrs. Montgomery, of j
Ohio, Ross, of Lawrence county, and Kyle, of 1
Butler are the exploration committee. An ini- !
nation fee often dollars, to bear expenses, is to j
be paid by the members and all becoming mem- j
bers. Wo wish the enterprise every success. j
We arc requested to say* that any communion- (
tious addressed to Secretary Crawford will be j
promptly attended to.— Slundurd. j

Editor —But our charges are fifteen cents a

SQL Once mure x we str.tc that anonymous
communications receive no attention at our
hands, no matter how meritorious they may be.
A Patron,’’ who sends us a lengthy poetical
effusion certainly knew our rule, if he has been
a reader of our paper, and might tiierefoifc have
spared himself much .'trouble. Wo have little
enough time to attend tp communications which
came to'us duly subscribed, without poring over
anonymous epistles. “ A Patrons” epistle may
be meritorious, or it may not; weiinve not rend
it for the'reason above given. Anonymous com
nmnicatiou are not preserved,—they generally
Cud their way into the.stove.
SEi.r-ArrßECiATioN.:—Some men can never be
made conscious of their own value. If they
succeed in life, they are neitjhcr indebted, in
their own opinion, to circumstances or Provi
dence, but purely to their own merits. If they
fail they are straightway-persuaded that the
most powerful combinations were formed to
produce that result, and they ore conquered in
spite Of their merits. Such ore the men of
whom the. Frenchman said—‘‘/if I could buy
them for what other people think them worth,
and soil them for what they think themselves
worth, it would bo one grand speculation”

the Bit especially suffering from a lively applll

a short ireiirement, the Jury brought in as their
verdict that the, Dft. is not guilty, but that he
one-half the costs, and that Maiy Jane
FralOy, the prosecutrix, pay the other half of
the cosfc. But this was not all of the difficulty
between these parties, for the Grand Jury bad
ungullahtly found a “ true -bill" for assault and
battery ; against Mrs. Fraley for beating Young
the broomstick as aforesaid ; and Young
had also a caste of Surety of the Peace pending
aigainsjt ier. In these cases however, a settle

docket boats, ond Prosecutor to file no bill.
; Com. : vs. Isaac Edwards. —lsaac is a rather
bad specimen of humanity, with “ a rich Irish
brogue”, on his tongue and a sajde “ better
half’ <|t-his board ; and who had “ concluded to
work less and steal more.” He was brought
before ,Court on a charge of having stolen'some
bushels of corn, three or four bugs, and some
chickens and hams, some time in April last,
from Mrs. Massey S. Lias, at Canoe Creek.—
Ihe principal witness against him was his curly -
headed father-in-law, “black as the ace of
spadosi” who accompanied him in his adventure
for ;the| plunderbut witnesses were of small
account,; for Isaac scorned to deny the truth and
skid he acknowledged the corn” but the bacon
h® didn’t steal. At all events the witnesses
faued to make out the bacon, and the Jury found
Isaac gpilty of petit larceny. [Not yet sen

a fray between a pair of old folks ; and Dft.
Stood charged with assault aud battery ou the

interfered by laying hold of him and making
most violent threats of personal injury to him,
and; finally succeeded in driving him off ami
preventing the levy. The jury brought in a
vtrdictiof guilty.
Com.- vs. John Murray — indicted fur stealing
a;horse from Mr. Christian Snively of Woodber •

appeared that he had taken across Tussey
Mountain in Huntingdon county, with horse,
apd was seen in passing that way; but what'
disposition he m ado of the horse has not been
learned. -. He was arrested, as we have before
noticed, ;in one of the passes of the Allegheny
mountains, having in his possession a quantity
of counterfeit coin, a revolver, aud a bottle of
chloroform. On his trial nothing was elicited
as to his history or his home ; but after his con
viction, when called up for sentence, the com
mon wealth undertook to show by records from
Mifflib county, and by witnesses examined, that
he had; been convicted of horse stealing in that
county , ifr 184 b, and sentenced for a term of
three years to itho Eastern .Penitentiary, but it

Same day—
The Grand Jury do respectfully present that
during their session their attention has been
called to the appointments; of the offices of the
Prothonotnry and Register and Recorder for
the preservation of the Public Records; and af
ter a full examination * they are convinced that
'the Rec.irds of the county are not sufficiently
protected against fire and other accidents owing
to the improper construction of the rooms in
which the records are kept. It is highly im
portant in the judgement of the Grand Jury
that provisions be made at the earliest day for
the erection of vaults in the most approved plan
for the protection of the public records, and
they do recommend the proposed olterations to
the favorable consideration of the County Com
missioners. Signed.

WILD SCENES ON j THE FRONTIERS;

" Westward, the coarse of Empire takes its way.”
This Work, ie the only one in Book form, which for sev
eral years has emanated from the pen of the gifted author,
who treads now alone the patty unco trodden bjftmr own
Cooper. It will contain graphic pictures of the conflicts
of the hardy Pioneer, whose strifes add struggles with his
Indian foe, tival the tales of fiction and the tragic coun
terfeits of the mimic stage. thrilling narratives of
the daring deeds, the bcart-tmls, the heroic devotion and
self-denial of noble women, the toothers of the West 1 Be
neath the over-arching forests! hand to hand, and foot to
foot: the intrepid adventurer has encountered in deadly
combat the ruffian desperadoes who made their haunts iu
the iKichwoods, and his gallant achievements have thrown
-a halo of romance over the waving prairies, the grand cld
mountains, and the majestic rivers of the land of the set
ting «un!- .
Nor are these pages wanting in those gentler scenes
which make up homo-life, and which arc pictured with all
the skill and fidelity for which the author is prc-eniincntly
distinguished. Ills delineation of Frontier character, and
of tlie scenery of tiie Borders,.has always the advantage of
an accuracy which is the result of an intimate, personal'
acquaintance.
