I.SIBODI tTIOX OF GAfe *»P W.VTER INTO Ar,- too na.— lt is said by those who have supervi sion of the Gas Works, thatgaa will be manu factured and ready for bumingand water ready, to bo supplied in our progressive town, some lime during the first week in December. That this will be one of the grandest additions ,to our town, ever received, all will freely acknowledge, and in the scale of raodern improvement will flaco us in advane'e of everything outside of the cities; Our business places will no longer emit ihc dim light of tallow candles and oil lamps, but send out a strain of bright, clear and wel come gas light . ; ! Since the addition is of so much magni tude, would it not bo well to Introduce the gr»nJ affair by appropriate ceremonies. We hate in our town a .Lodge of -Free Masons, Chapter, Council and Cpmmandcry, two Lodges of Odd Fellows, an Order of the I. 0. of Red Men, a Division of Sons of Temperance, two Camps of the Junior Sons of Ameriisa, two Mil itary Companies and an excellent Band, a Fire Company and apparatus which-is a credit to any place, six Public Schools, and other As sociations. A grand parade of all these Lodges, Orders, Companies and Schools, would be one of the most magnificent sights ever seen outside of any of our cities, and wo think all would unite in it; at least so far as wc have been able to ascertain, everybody is in favor of it; and as such a demonstration without a speech would not be finished, we have those in our midst who cuuld get up a nice .little addres-on the rise and progress of Altoona, which .would make all feel hippy and proud. And to climax the'Vhole we would have a grand torch light jproceasion and general illumination ip the evening— ; those who have gasßlamlnate with it, and those who have not, illuminating with candles, lamps, or what ever they may sec fit. That Altoona is oaf of the most enterprising towason the continent, all who have over visited it will acknowledge. That we Shave the mate rjal|g) got up .one .of the grapdeist celebrations, bo one-will doubt, and we know that there is spirit enough in the people of this place to .pre vent it being a failure if it be once determined upop. All,that is wanted- is a start, and we will have it. Let arrangements 100. entered into at once—have a'meeting of, the citizens’ called for {Saturday evening next—have : suitable com mittees appointed ,to perfect the affair and CTorvihiag will go off-with a hurrah. Our Firemen want a chance to show them sGves and their handsome machine, our mili tary want an opportunity to turn out in their might, our .associations of different kinds , want on opportunitj to show themEelves, and the chil drep, the hope of our country, want a holiday. Therefore, lot the celebration come off. If this suggestion bo entered into with spirit it will be all we have? pictured'! it, and the archives of Altoona will contain the history of an inaugura tion of modem improvements which will be re ferred to in after ages with pride and pleasure ; and that our neigboring towns will read an ac count of which will strike them with astonish-. meat. Remember the ffrst week in December. Asornra TaiAt.—At four o’clock, on Satur day afternoon last, the Citizens’ Fire Co., tnjugbt out their superb engine for another trial themselves in- .working the ma chine. It wds first worked qt the crossing of \ irgjinia and Annie streets and rendered entire satisfaction. Other trials in different parts of v the town were equally successful, and fully satisfied all that in the engine and the company tha| worked it, they had a valuable safeguard in dose of a visit from that destroying element —fire. Well may the Citizen boys feel proud of thejr machine—both as to its appearance and work—for certainly there is not a more Land eomp one.in the one that can excel U id throwing watWwWhen itis properly worked. As a matter of court require a little ®oriß make the ma chine do her if, ,they continue to run ter out once a wcqk, ' or moirb if required, they will soon leam all the “ropes.” When jthp Company again calls upon- our citizens for taaterial ■ aid, \we feel confident .that they eon °ot refuse to contribnte, because all mjust feel ia interest in company .and nte «t{ng all which would conm btttejto her esciknqy In ’ case tif fire.

Mvsteejous Disappearance.— We copy with reluctance the following item from the Pitts •ourgh. True Tress, of Wednesday last. Fain would we console ourselves with the belief tha tthe surmises may prove incorrect, but alas, the plot continues to thicken, circumstances connected therewith pointing almost unerringly to the con clusion arrived at by the*writer of the item.— Mr. Keeseywas well, known to many of the citi zens of this place, and enjoyed the confidence of all who became intimate with him. The news of his full, (if it really proves to be as surmised) astonished every one :• Rev. T. L. Keesey, minister of tho Curofa of the United .Brethren in, Christ, residing in Greensburg, Westmoreland county, Pa., having a wife and five children, left home on the 29th of October,-to fill an appointment for Rev. B. Dick,’ in Altoona, on the following Sabbath.— He also intended'to step on his way in Johns town several days. On inquiry It was ascer tained that ho had not been at cither place, nor can any traces of his whereabouts be ascertain ed. Mr Keesey is an able and popular preacher —happy in his family relations —no man was more prudent and circumspect in his deport ment, a most kind and affectionate husband and father. For some days before ho left, he ap peared to be gloomy and in deep trouble.— Simultaneous with his leaving home, a very handsome and fascinating young grass widow, -also disappeared in a mysterious manner. Thte disappearance of the grass widow on the same dny_ that Mr. Keesey left. Las thrown a dark oloiid around the circumstance and filled the hearts of bis wife and friends with tjie deepest anguish.' We hopp, however, that a few days will explain the matter in such a manner as to relieve the character of the reverend gentleman : tvoju suspicions that now surround him, and re sto. him to that high position in the affections of his congregation, that he has hitherto occu pied. Any information concerning him will be gladly received by his wife, Margaret Ann Keesey, Greensburg, Pa. Messrs. Editors :—l am not entirely responsi ble for the torturing of “cat-gut” and “ horse hair” alluded to in one of, your “ pen and scis-; sora” items of last week, as haring occurred 1 across the street, at the Book and Music-store.' Some of the musical amateurs and performers; on .the violin, belonging to the borough, with ther view, no doubt, of giving me a demonstration - of their valor in the use of cat-gut and horse- • hair, paid me a visit with their instruments, one ; or two evenings last Week, and although it is the i exception rather than the rule, in my store, to; have much music until after business hours, in this instance, l without giving offensive, a must- ' cal bravura wak unavoidable. _ If, however, at any future time, being imme diately under the eye of your sanctum, in the trial of tnusiepr instruments, I should happen to send up a strain, please excuse Altoona, Nov.

We are partial to the dalcet, strains artistically, extracted from feline intestines by the vigorous application of elastic £1 aments from the “ narrative” of.a valuable quadruped, and .very much regret that your rule will not admit: of a daily repetition of the harmonica! sounds to which we so vulgarly alluded last-week. , i llahdsojie Shawls.— Every lady we know, likes to sport a handsome shawl.

The taarriages and deaths will be looked for with deepest interest, while all the local news of his town or oouhty will possess a charm that he neVer knew before. It willbe like talking with aneld friend, every time he takes up tiie paper. Still more, it will keep alive in him a warm re membrance of those he has left behind—a re membrance of friendly faces, of kind neighbors and scenes hallowed by associations the most dear 6f all that have been experienced in life. He will laugh over comical occurrences recorded of his neighbors, take a deep interest in their cattle shows, their Fourth of July celebrations, and all their public ceremonies. He- will also rejoice over the list of marriages, and wefep over the obituary of some old acquaintance. We know of hothing which Can give mote satisfaction to an absent friend^than a home newspaper! and to every one who wishes to keep distant friends or relations posted up concerning home matters, and at the same time save time and money that would be spent in writing letters, we recommend the idea suggested above.— JPalmcr Journal. Pa. Central R. R.—The editor of the Mer- cer Dispatch , who has had occasion - to travel over the Pcnn’a Central Rail Road, makes the following mention thereof, in his last issue. No fitter road in the country receives so many and highly complimentary testimonials as the P. R. R. The Dispatch says Having just returned from a trip over this road. We can add our testimony to that of all who travel on it, that it is'one of - the best, if not the very best, managed r»ad id the country When a person starts on this road, he feels con fident of arriving at the end of his journey in safety, and well conditioned; not so with other Purr’s Mekcantile College, Ison ings, Trmi street, PiTTsacEcu.—The splendid new hall of this institution is in every way worthy of its long established reputation.— Dqff’s system of Book-keeping ag here taught by its author, has long had the unanimous com mendation of his numerous students' of the American institute and chamber of commerce of New York, with four first premium silver medals from state fairs; silver plate .and first premium diplomas from a number of state fairs, and the United States fair, with the first premium for best business pennmanship by the last* Ohio state fair, over'nearly all the bcsUpcnnman of the west, is a decisive verdict upon the superi ority of the writing department of the institu tion’; Np institution of the kind in the country offers the commercial student the combined ad vantages of such teachers of book-keeping aud pennmanship. ©©“Harry Gray, that prince of Railroad Conductors, dropped into o"ur sanctum on Wed nesday afternoon last, and gave us the shake of a hand which every man grasps in friendship, for we think Harry has as many, if not more friends and fewer enemies, than any man we knp|v of.

I Fire Company 0 > Whita jEngine was brought out for-, exhibition and irihl on Saturday ?week, drawn by some 85 young men, clad in white shirts, black pantsjbndj glazed caps, with faces betokening- happy heOrts, Tur doubt from the consciousness that they would now be able, by its aid, to render material service in subduing the tiivages.of :firo and i thus add to the security of property and their neighbors happiness. I ■ thought, os they passed me, theso are noble fel lows,, willing to sacrifice time and risk life for the b enefit of their fellow men, and will not fall into the many vices so ; common among firemen in our large cities, but will be an ornament to our town. An hour or two passes, and they have gone'oyer our principal streets, and the machine is brought into service in front'of the Presbyterian Church, for trial. . She performed well, no doubt to tbelsatisfaetion of all. But what means this? Two of the firemen are walking rapidly towards the “Altoona Souso,” and down they slip into tbo bar-room. In a few minutes they come out again, giving their months an omnions wipe, and return to the en gine. This, I; is a beginning of Fire men’s habits. After several trials in front of the ebureb, the engine was taken in: front of the “ Logan House,” and another trial made, after which she-was housed.; What now follows ? I am sorry to say that these same persons who promjiscd so fair at the beginning, to the number of 20 or more, arc seen going into the afore mentioned bar-room to partake of that which will create within a fire that cannot bo quenched by water, and all the fire engines in the universe are not able to extinguish. Young men beware how you begin tbo fireman’s life ! you are ex posed to dangers you know not of. Let no temptation draw you from the paths of sobriety and virtue. Surely it docs not follow that be cause you are firemen that you must be a de bauchee also ? thqt because you are resolved to save your neighbor’s property from the ravages of fire, you must partako- of the intoxicating cup that will, in the end, consume your very bodies - and sink thorn down to a drunkard’s grave, and doom your, souls to a, world of end less woe ? By no means. You arc men, and as such at once resolve no more to follow in-the steps of too many of your brother firemen of our large cities. Como boldly out and make your company one -noted for the steady habits of its members and its usefulness to society.— Then those who assisted you in procuring your fire aparatus will assist you again, if needs be. But ou the_eontrary, if intemperance and rowdyism should follow this investment, be as sured they will not be so ready to lend a.help ing hand in the future. Thus your usefullness may be destroyed and the good you may other wise accomplish will be lost. That these re marks may have the effect to cause a watchful ness on the part of all the members of the “ Citizens Fire Company,” is the desire of a Changed Hands. —Scarcely had own paper of last week, containing a notice of the prrpric-' tor of the grocery, two doors below us, been .circulated, ere the grocery passed into the hands of-Geo.

The performance was emphatically good: manifesting an improve ment seldom, if ever, made before by any Band in the State, in so short a time.
