She stores and'other business places, with a few exceptions, and the shops of the Penn'a B. R, Co„ were closed, and the streets presented a Sabba At 10J o’clock, A, M., Rev. Sembower preached a sermon appropriate to the occasion, in the Lutherah Church, to a very largo and apprecia tive congregation. His discourse is highly spoken of by those who heard it. In the after noon, all the public schools’formed into proces sion at the foot of Virginia street and marched up to the Presbyterian Church, Where the scholars were addressed by Kevs.' Clark, Creigh ton and Sembower. There were some four or five hundred children in the procession, although the Schools were far from being full. . We are particularly.’gratified to state that we did not observe an intoxicated person on our streets on that day, and we have not heard-of any drink ing or rowdying in any ; part of the town. Cojimunicatiox.— ln another column of to day’s paper will bo found a communication from a fireman of this plade, in answer to the communication of “Well Wisher,” .which ap peared a few weeks since. It! has been on file for two weeks, but for reasons which would be satisfactory to any one who understands the printing business and our situation for some time past, wo could not find a place for it. We publish, the communication not because we think the- remarks of “ Well Wisher” demanded such a reply, but to relieve ourselves *of the charge of partiality. We doubt very much whether the remarks of “A Fireman” will meet with the approval of the majority of the mem bers of the Fire Company. It certainly lacks spirit of “Well Wisher’s” article, besides intimating what is not correct.

C. Yingling and Sampson C. Glass, white hunting among a ledge of Rocks, known on “Bear Rocks,” about eight miles north of this place, came upon a monster bruin lying in a hole among to rocks. Oil* their approach he raised his head and looked at them and then quietly laid down again. A bul let from each gun simultaneously planted in hia knowledge box, caused him to wake up pretty quick, but his day was over. On examination ho proved to be one of the largest varmints of the kind ever killed '.on these mountains, and extremely fat. J He weighed 816 pounds after the entrails were taken out. His kidney and entraii fat yielded 3 gallons’ of nil. The young men realized the snug sum. of $53 out of hhn < besides the fun and glory of killing such a whopper. Jr. Good Wu.n Fins Company Bale. —The Good Vfill Fire Company of this place intend giving a Grand Ball, in'Shultz's Military Hall, on.Tfaurs day evening, December 22d. The Committee of Arrangements have rented .the Bar-room ad joining .the Hall, for that evening, and intend closing the bar and using the room as a refresh ment room. There can therefore be no 1 objec tions urged by any for not participating in the dance, on account of its close proximity to a bar-room.

Beiley, held forth' in frput of the “ Logan House.’’— From the .manner of his speaking, ire judged him to be pometlung of a Yankee. Se makes some capital hits ip his addresses, and his argu ments in IkCor of ibis principles, are oertainly sound, although he has a very rough way of ex pressing them. Whether his lecture will be productive of good remains to be seen. It is to bo hoped it will. Notwithstanding everybody is more or less interested in the contemplated celebration, and are anxiously awaiting the day on which it is to come off, still the lovers of luscious bi valves do not forget that at Taylor’s saloon, next door tb the Hank, may be had at all times, ja plate of those fine Cove Plants which that sa loon is.celebrated for keeping. A choice lot of confectionaries, Apples, nuts, &c., always on hand. Sudden Death. —On Saturday last, an old lady named Catharine Beard, wife of Mr. John Beard, of Scotch Talley, whilst engaged about her household duty, suddenly fell over on the floor and immediately expired. She was in her usual health, and had just requested a littlc.girl to hand her a drink, but she-didn’t live to tako it. She was 71 ypars, G months and 12 days old, and left a large circle of friends to mourn her sudden departure.— Register. Another Fatal Accident. —Patrick Mahar, while engaged removing some car wheels from the platform of the hoppers at the Coal Mines of Porter, MiUikcn & Co., a few days ago, made a miss step and went over, falling some 30 or 40 feet, causing instant death.

I feel confident thattho firemen -of Altoona arc highly pleased aith thr hint* thrown otttto them by their friend “Well-Wisher," and lhatthey will hereafter .be govfcrned by hint; providing be wbnti take a fatherly care over them while in the performance’ fc't their duty.— Because yon know, Well-Wisher, that they are youpg, in nocent men, and likely to be led astray, if no guardian to Watch over them while they are oat with their machine, in replylngto M'oU-Wiaher, 1 would inform him that the Firemen were not aware that they were to be watched in their movements upon the occasion alluded to. If they could have had even the slightest Lint thrown out to therfi before the paradc-thot they were to have a repor ter along with them, they would hate hod one*who would have kept himself sober, for thecredit of tho Firemen if not his own. Because, Messrs Editors, Ido for one really believe that our reporter was slightly iiiebriated on'that occasion. Now let ns take his own words for an explana tion. He says, behold there #re two young men going to wards tho Altoona House and disappearing 'down the cel lar, and presently they again made their appearance, giv ing their mouths an ominous wipe. Well now, whtft of that ? Do you never wipe your mouth,.Well-Wisher 7 Or have you a smeller that could find out for you that they had been drinking? Or was that liquor yon inhaled that wifich yon had drank beforehand? My reason for asking is this: The young men you had reference to did not gu to the Altoona House, as yon represent, they wont to the Exchange Hotel, kept by John. Bowman, who I believe is the proprietor. They did not" como out wiping their months, they ca'me out smoking an excellent cigar, which J. B. had furnished them with. Well-Wisher,' if you could not sec more than twenty feet clear, you ought to hare been in bed. Now, Well-Wisher, X will inform you how tho twenty young m?n were led astray. You are aware that they paraded through the principal streets of our borough, to give the citizens ah opportunity Of admiring their handsome engine, which they (the citizens) had so generously bestowed upon the company. You are aware that When they were playing In front of the Logan House, they were all wef with the ruin and water from their ma chine, then it was that Col. Woods, of the Altoona House, g.>re the Citizen boys an invitation to come and take a kindly smile, which I think pleased them-very much, for they did manfully wipe their mouths, and gave three hcar iy cheers and a tiger for Col. Woods, and then, like gallant Firemen as they are, housed their handsome engine; and then, if our reporter had not left so soon, he might have seen several more going around town smiling very often, j not being afraid of having their insides burned out, us they 1 had not seen Well-Wisher’s communication, or they would have acted move careful—hut he w ill have to excuse them, for they will endeavor to be more careful hereafVr. I I would inform friend Well-Wisher that they are a core; a:;y J organized as a Fire Company, not as aTcmperance Society, although there ore some gentlemen of the above-named society belonging to the company, whom we are glad to recognize as brother Firemen, Now let us reason the case—would it not have been better for Well-Wisher f.. have collected some live or more Well-Wisher’s like him self, and instead of following the Company from place to place, passing remarks, and finding such faults, as only could bo_found by one laboring under the influence of that stuff that makes a man wipe his mcffth. Would it not have been bettor for him to have pone home (providing he | could], and brought those noble Fireman two or three pails j of good ctdfoe instead\of acting as he did, and my word for 1 It, they would not wished for any thing stronger or worm- j er to benefit their chilling bodies, and it would have 1 .—u ( an example for other coffee dealers 1 > treat them in th • , same manner hereafter.
