William Benner, a workman in tho x car-ahop, in

(tier workmen wereengaged in taking down car
tracks from a pile on which they had been pla
ced, just outside of the half-round j bouse. The
trucks weigh in the neighborhood of 1400 or i
IcOO lbs., ami were piled up to the height of six |

i largo crane with a chain. The chain was fas- I

«;ion, found that be was so badly 'crashed, in

to &ilev;nte his sufferings, which were intense.
Ht .'iagei'ed in agony until five o’oldck on Salur-

mil ihe shades, of night and relieved him of

His funeral took place at two o’clock, P. M.,
n Monday. Out of respect for the deceased,
a * •top* of the Company were closed during
tit afternoon, npd the workmen turned out iu a

The above report is for last year: This year
the aggregate of months taught will be
10,. the Directors having (agreed to keep open
that length of time. Altoona District bears a
favorable comparison with any other district in
the county. Although the tax assessed for
school anti building purposes is one mill less on
the dollar than that of Hellidnysburg, there has
been $192 more spent for the purposes named.
\ Muitaby Matters.—From the Report of the
Adjutant General, recently published, we obtain
the following information relative to the military
of this county :—Whole no. of Companies, 11
Cavalry, 2—Artillery. 2—lnfantry. 4—Riflemen
3. Aggregate of Brigades, 8.844. Field pieces,
2 brass six-pounders—muskets, F93—bayonets,
198 cartridge-boxes, 193—bayonet scabbards,
belts and plates, 11<J—rifles, 125—powder-horns
110—pouches, 85—pistols, 100—horses, 50-
cavalry swords, 50—sword-belts, 50. Number
of delinquent militia men, 8,335.
The Adjutant General says there are 350.000
effective militia la the State, of which 17.500
are uniformed, and organized into volunteer
companies. In speaking of the lack of arms to
sttf ply new companies, he says that, “so many
new companies have been formed iu the State,
that ten thousand muskets would be barely
enough to supply them, while there are but
about twelve hundred annually to distribute
We copy the following from the Report:—
I “ The whole number of arms issued to volun
■ f, e ®j ® on, P au * e * during the past year amounts to
j -.740 muskets, leaving requisitions untilted
. amounting to 12.370 muskets. The quota due
. to the State from the General Government for
j 1000, amounts to 800 muskets.
I The table attached to this report, showing the
[ number and kind of arms in eacli brigade, is by
no means lull, and does not exhibit the quantity
of ammunition belonging to,the State. It is the
duty of the brigade inspectors of the various
brigades to furnish me with this kind of iufor
mation, but it seems impossible for me, through
any inducement, to obtain from them the statis
tics desired. During the coming year I will use
the compulsory process of a cotnt martial in
turning their attention .to this subject. I re ff ret
to say that almost all brigades are careless in
regard to arms, and often when a company dis
bands, their arms are scattered, to be heard.; of i
no more. A more rigid observance of the l£w, '
in this respect, wilfbo required from the persons ‘
having m charge this property, of the State.” i

seytbat poits of Amor and emolument do not

gnisbed positions in the administration of the

to are, however, of a doubtful quality—being,
as a general thing, more curses than praises—
and the! emoluments 00. There exists a little
difficulty in qur minds in deciding whether we
were selected on account of onr good looks, our
pupularity, (dr because it don’t matter whether
we get licked or not—most probably the last.—
But since we are in, the ring, we’ll ran like
white-heads, [and if we are beaten, we are beat
en, that’s all;
Correction.—ln our lust week’s issue we no
ticed the fact that Judge Taylor had refused to
grant all but -one Of the applications for tavern
license prayed for by the keepers of lager beer
saloons, in this place. Not having read law, or
been aq particular in keeping posted up in, pew
" laws, os we might have, we were under the imr
preasion that [licenses to keep lager beer saloons
wore granted by the Court, which is not the
case. Licenses to keep lager beer saloons are
granted by the County Treasurer, on the presen
tation of a position, signed by twelve citizens,
and the lender of the license fee. The objec
tion to'the licenses prayed for at the last Court
was, that tb?y, were for tavern licenses, allowing
the bolder to sell all kinds of liquor, and the
setting forth in the petitions of the fact that the
applicants were ‘-provided with house-room and
; acoominodaiiops fur strangers and travellers,”
j when such yrujt not the case. The petitions were
! refused only as far as they included tavern li
j censes, and nothin the matter of lager saloons and
I restaurants, We hope this will satisfy those
I who took umbrage nt our remarks, last week.—
We, some times, don’t know auy more about
other people’s business than they know about
ours, although a great many think we should.
| GnocsD-Hoo Day, — Thursday last, Recording
to tradition,, was the day ,on which the ground
hog awakes front his winter’s snooze, and issu
ing from his lair, snuffs the tur, and casts his
eyes about him to see whether Lis shadow
is visible in the sun. If it be. says the same
authority, his hogship hurries buck to his re
treat, satisfied that there aro yet six weeks more
of cold weather to come, while if it be not, he
remains abroad, confident that the fro Us of win
ter have for the most part passed. We confess
that our faith in such signs is not very strong ;
but we do not wish, by so .expressing out selves,
to weaken the faith of others ; according to their
faith, so bo ft imto them. Our belief of the
pranks of his hogship was not strong enough to
induce us to. lake particular notice of the day,
but if our tuempry serves us rightly, wo believe j
it was rather cfoudy, and that Mr Ground Hog ]
would have had considerable difficulty in dis-I
covering his shadow. In the event of our'be- |
lief os to- weather on that day being correct. !
wo will try and . exercise faiih enough jn the I
prognostication of said porcine quadruped to j
make him a prophet. i
Loo AS Valley Items.—On Friday last one of
the tenant houses at Elizabeth Furnace took fire
from a stove pipe, and in a short lime w»s burn
ed to the ground. All the furniture in the house
was saved
I n On the same day, John, a son of Mr. John
Bell, tens thrown from a horse and badly in
jured. The (horse took fright at some trifling
object, and ran off. In his mad race be literal
ly run through a paling fence, pitching Mr. Bell
forcibly to the ground, cutting his leg badly
and mashing hi* nose, lie was taken home in
sensible, and for a time little hope was enter
tained of his recovery ; but he is now doing well.
On the same (unlu'lltiy) day, as a gentleman,
residing at Sabbath Beat, was on his way to his
store, hojawadog running, i frothing, at the.
mouth, and having every symptom ol hyUropho
bia. Seeing the dog coming toward him, he pro
cured a club near by, and just as the animal
made a leap at him, struck him a blow which
lamed him. lie then ran to his store, got a gun
and shot him. ;
Fens Stoles.-—A young lady who had not
I the fear of God pr the law before her eyes, did.
J on Friday evening Inst, at the protracted meet

her own use and:behoof, a set of furs belonging
to a lady who iwas:taking part in the exercises
of the occasion jjsaid fufs having been placed

they np yhfW to be found. Her suspi

evening. On Saturday morning, Constable JBly.
was provided with a search warrant and pro
