Btuofau^Hm iswnoOwr oOu of heroism,
brought to light by the late heroidact Of McCoy,
imaaving the life of Neff’s child, near Carre.—
It is from the.pen of Capt Smith, 0 f the Jolma
town JEcAo .*—•
. “ Some ago, hi the palmy days of the
Allegheny Portage nihbtd, -** got on/lhe en
g*ne of ajreight tram at Gilmore to ride totbe
bead of Plane No. 1. ©B ike way down, a short
distance pelow the “«alf.w«y House,” now
Summerhill, a small child was seen sitting di
rectly on the rail of the track on which we were
running. We saw the child, and the sight
caused the blood to tingle in onr veins. In an
instant the engineer Whistled down brakes, and
reversed the engine, but the headway of the
heavy train could-not be suddenly cheeked, and
** J^ {r ® rushing fast towards the unconscious
child. While we felt that the death of the child
was inevitable, the fireman cautiously descend
ed to the step of the engine, and springing off,,
ran with the fleetness of a deer. Never shall
we forget the awful suspense of those few mo
ments. With what breathless, terrible fear and
solicitude did we watch the flight of the fireman.
Ho gained sufficiently on the engine to reach
the child just as it was about to be crushed into
a shapeless mass. The'scene was thrilling in
deed. The lives of both were in peril. As
quick ns lightning he seized thq child, and the
moment he did so the bumper (for at that time
there were no cow-catchers) struck his shoulder,
and sent him whirling, but soon gaining bis
equilibrium, he stood; proudly erect with the
child safe in his stalwart pras. that mo
ment with what joy and admiration did we gaze
npop the manly form oflsoacWike, as be stood
folding to his noble heart the child which he
had rescued from a horrible death' at the peril
of his own life, Mr. -Wiko is now a citizen of
W'ilmore, in this county, beloved and respected
for bis generous impulses and many noble traits
of character.” i
A Modxi. House. —The house just erected by
the Rail Road Company for the residence of
Mr. Wilson, the Resident Engineer is a mbdel
house in every respect. Not only does the oat
side realize our idea of architectural beauty,
but the inside is finished off .in such a manner
as to make it a model house. All the rooms
are provided with hot air registers and closets.
Those on the first floor have Italian marble
mantles—those on the second and third stories,
marble wash stands. There arc gas fixtures in
every room. There is also a cooking range in
the kitchen, a bath bouse, a pantry, and in
short every convenience the heart could desire.
The painters, under the charge of Mr. J. W.
Webber, are just finishing the oak grain ings of
three of the rooms, in a style of excellence unsur
passed', having already painted the remainder of
the house with virgin white brilliant enough to
dazzle the eyes. The plumbing and gas fitting
is the work of Geo. A.. Ogelsby, a very finished
workman. The winding stairs with their splen
did balusters and railings—superior to anything
of the kind ever put up in this place, were made
and ereoted by Thomas M’Minn, than whom
few, if any, understand that branch of business
better. Whenever wo get rich—which we do
no* expect to be for some time to come—we
shall build just such a house.
As Oasis is the Desert.—Everybody will
remember Tuesday morning as being dark and
gloomy. Well, just about the time the work of
the day had got under full headway in the Tri
bune office, when one proprietor was digging
away at a job ani the other was circulating the
little jobber—the old jour was getting a job on
the pressman assistant called to our aid from
over the hill was peering over his “specks,”
demurely making items at the nonpariel case—
the devil senior setting editorial and the devil
junior roiling—all np doubt impressed with the
fact that “ the poor man’s work is never done,”
in tripped a little fairy form with something
nicely done up in a newspaper, which upon
closer inspection proved to be a nice jelly cake
from *• Jane and Helen.” Each treats arc not of
every day occurrence, !bence we were not sur
prised to see the sun shine in a fSw hoars after
wards. Jane and Helen have our thanks, and
may they both get husbands who con appreci- j
ale their worth. I
Our Coxgressmak. —The Register, speaking
j of our Congressman, says:—
j. “We understand that Mr. Blair, onr highly
j esteemed and popular Member of Congress from
! this District, will leave for Washington on Mon
-1 day next, to ontcr\ipon the duties of bis place
jat the opening of the session. Mr. 8., (we may
| take this occasion to say,) is a gentleman of no
I' ordinary ability, a ripe scholar, and a clear and
| forcible speaker, and of such habits of applica
j tion to business, and such integrity of character
j and personal worth, as that we risk nothing in
j asserting.that he will soon command a promi
• nent and influential position among his fellow
; members. He goes from a district deeply in
i tercsted in the Tariff question; and will have a
j watchful regard especially to the wants of the
Laboring men; and if proper protectien is not
afforded them the fault will not be his. As a
I partisan he will be .found to be conservative
i and reasonable, bat withal bold and firm as the
j everlasting hills that girt his Pennsylvania home,
: in asserting and maintaining what he holds to
i be right .and required by the best interests of
the country.”

Jacob Foust.—The Uric Cil y'Diepotch
that the argtnneot far a new trial in the ease'of
Jacob Fonst,'. .will jibe heard before Judge &t
-braith on the : 2nd Monday of December. '
In commenilng upon the case, the same paper
eaye:—
‘‘ The Tetd&st of the jury in the ease of Fonst
gives sn tisfiwtion to '■& large majority of the cit
izens Of the. county, and in granting, to & pris
oner who has been jjatce tried and convicted, a
new trial at great expense to the county, the
court and those with whom it rests, would be
guilty of robbing the tax-payers of th% county,
in entailing upon them unnecessary expense in
giving a guilty party time to escape the meshes
of the law. We hope, for the character and
Credit of our judges, that they will refuse to
grant the request for' a new trial already made,
and thus conform to; what the people think is
right and just in the premises.
The Band Concert.— The Concert of the Al
toona Brass Band, given at the Rifles Armory
on Saturday evening last was a decided success
in every sense of the word. A large audience
was present, and the performances, both Vocal
and Instrumental, were the best ever given in
this place. The brass and stripg band, as well
as the Glee Clubs, acquitted themselves admira
bly, but our talented friend Dougherty took
down all with his -Milesian songs. llis “ Sol
dier in the Army’’ was applauded to the echo,
and he was compelled to aing it several times to
satisfy the audience. We hope another oppor
tunity will soon offer to hear blip, as well as
the bands and clubs.
BSL-If the person, who has been in the hab
it of carrying poal from a certain coal house, be
longing to a resident of Adaline Street, should
wisit that building again, he will be welcomed
by a salute from one of Colt’s revolvers, and
should the said revolver contain anything else
than powder, the addition come in contact
with what ho carries under his clothes, it will
be a fact, which no man will be able to deny,
that a cicatrix will memorize the event.
"Fatal Accident.—A mm named Fleck,
employed as a; hod carrier on the new building
of the Franklin High School, in Martinsburg,
fell from the third story to tie ground, in con
sequence of the breaking of a board, on Friday
laat, by which he n;as so . severely injured that
he died on Saturday. He resided in the vicinity
of Martinsbutg, add leaves a wife and chil
dren.
Bears Shot.— Bears, we bear are unusually
plenty on the mountain, and jo bold that they
sometimes venture into the settlements in quest
of food. Quite a number ijeen seen in this
county, but only two cubs hare been shot late
ly. They had; been prowlingiabout the premis
es of Mr. J. M. Tusscy, of Sinking Valley, for
some time, when that gentletian laid ia wait,
and without much trouble sueteeded in killing
both.
Sheriff's Sale.— The Sherif advertises to
sell the real estate Of the Blair County Coal and
Iron Company, on the 30th inst. This is the
last foothold of the Massachusetts Yankees who
came to this country in 1847 to build a Railroad
from Ilollidaysburg to the Sugar Run Coal
Mines.
Dead.— We regret to announced that the child
of Mr. .Joseph KcCsberry—mentioned in our
last as having been scalded, suffered intensely
until Thursday evening last, when it died. Our
sympathies are with the bereaved parents who
have thus suddenly been deprived of a house
hold idol.

j of informing yon, anil all interested, that the
! prospects for a successful and permanent or
ganization of this lately proposed Colony, to be
planted in Missouri, or some other portion of
the Gieat West, are qfftye encouraging; and
we expect in aiahort, time to announce an ap
pointment for 'a, meeting, for the purpose of
making some definite arrangements ia reference
to the place of location, and the method to ne
adopted for purchasing, and distributing the
lands; and the time for emigrating fee.'; 4c.
Applications have already been received from
a number of persons of this,' and stveral other
counties and from other States, from good and
substantial men. With these prospects before
us we feel encouraged to ask all persons who
feel disposed to unite in this enterprise, to make
known to us as Soon as possible their intentions,
and we will continue ; to inform them from time
to time, of all proceedings in reference to the
Colony. As stated before, our object in at
tempting to organize ; a denominational Colony
is to secure religious educational privileges at
once. It is not designed however to be exclu
sively sectarian. Any well-disposed and honor
able man may become a member who will com
ply with the regplatidns that if ill be instituted
by the Colony when regularly organized.

Accident.—One day during last week, a
young man, employed at the gas works, was
severely injured by a fall. He was engaged in
covering the holder, when the scaffolding upon
which he stood gave way, when he was precipi
