Tie Gioeiocb Fourth.— Well, we had the
Ponrthof Julyup here in all its glory; fun,
frolic, feaiting, fuzxle-guixllng and a few free
fighU being the order of ? the day. From an
drip boar on the evening of the 3rd, until the
accent of an unusually, .heavy shower of rain
ibont 10 o’clock on the evening of the 4th, the
sdjaeent mountain!, hills Azul dales reyerbera
ttdvitb the sound of air rushing rapidly into
unoccupied space fi'the barrels of small can
ons, muskets, shot guns, pistols,; and every
thing which would make a noise. About five
,'clock on the morning. the J?oiirtb,thoLogan
Hide Bangers and Altoona Guards, preceded iby
tbe Altoona Brass Band, marched to the top of
ijit hill above West Altoona, to nsh2r in theday
sod awaken the slumbering by firing several
toßeys of musketry. This duty. performed,
tie; marched down the bill again and dissmis-
ied for breakfast. About .seven o’clock the
United States Protectors, jmderthe command of
L their gallant Captain Pluck, their/debut.
Here langoage fails us. Toattempt to describe
the company js like attempting almost an im
| possibility. The burlesqqes were the best we
have ever seenattempted. The pioneer of the
company was dressed one-half white and the
other black and was intended-for a burlesque on
one of the present political partiea The band
we can not speak of more than- to say that it
consisted of two performers on tinhorns. Cod
fish aristocracy was represented by two of the
company wearing tight bodied coats with dried
cod-fish for coat , tails.- The hen-pecked hus
band was represented by an enormous, shanghai
rooster with a considerably raffled coat of grey
feathers, minus his tail, and beside hinrwalked
his better-half, dressed in the most gaudy style,
in the very fullest breadth of the fashion, her
hoops describing an upward curve of about two
or three feet at. every step. There were also a
coaple of Japanese and many other characters
.which we can not particularly note* Suffice it
to say that those who saw the Protectors saw
such a sight as they had never seen, and those
who did not see them 1 missed a sight such ns
they Wfll not see until they again appear on
dress jkrade, which may be long, as this,
thek flrst appearanoe, although-their numbers
were few, was a decided success. '
At 10 o’clock the prottsstefttfttiTed from the
Catholic Church, preceded by the Altoona Brass
Band. Ihe number of children in ' the proces
sion was jeiy .large. They proceeded to Beale’s
_ Woods to enjoy themselves as beat suited their
tastes. We visited the woods about noon, which
proved to be a very interesting time, and found
some half-a-dozen tables sorronnded by men
and women partaking qf i repast that would
have delighted the'eyes of the most fastidious
epicure. The supply of good things-in the way
of roast turkey, boiled ham, cakei, pies, ice
cream, strawberries and cream, lemonade, &c.,?
was sufficient to have supplied the whole town.
A platform had been laid down on which the
lads and lasses who delight in the sports of the
dance hod ample opportunity to enjoy them
selves. It is estimated.that Ahere were over two
thousand people on the ground daring theafter
nooa. Eveiything passed off in the most har
monious manner, good order being maintained
hy those who had charge of the ground.
The Young Men’s Pic Nic, held in'a grove on
Hagerty’s farm, below town, was a recherche af
fair, although theWmber was small. They ob
tained the bam floor for a ball room, and. put
in a happy time on the “ fantastic/toe,” parta
king of super-excellent eatables and drinkables,
(that wojfd ain’t in Webster) and pleasant iete-a
btu with kindred.spirits in the recesses, of the
Fove. Through a misunderstanding we were
invented from paying our respects to the par
lj, agreeably to their invitation, for which we
sorry. They have oar thanks for the hand
saw manner in which they remembered as with
4 share of the good things provided for the oc
casion, in the shftpe of an excellent cake and
nveral varieties of southern fruit.
A number of oar citizens held a picnic in the
pove adjoining West Altoona, and from the
manner in which they were enjoying themselves
*ken we were on the ground, we presume they
kml a merry time - of it. A Harrisburg band
!«mished the music for dancing, and the plat
fsro was well occupied\
Altogether, the day was creditably roentby
eithens of Altoona. There were a,feir in
, texicated persons to bis seen ’ about the streets
111 the evening, .but so far as we observed, none
of them were residents of this place.
*®*of all the degraded, loir, mean and
specimens of humanity which we may
V to look upon, preserve us’ from the
‘‘ght of a woman reeling along thestreet from
effects of intoxicating liqnor. We witnessed
1 lew such eases on the Fourth, and they .will
eetisfy us for an, indefinite length of time to
cone. ■ '■ - —••

P. M. —Extract from the Minutes.
Thanks.— We have certainly reason to be
thankful for the handsome manner in which we
were remembered by the ladies on the 4tb last.
First came two large cakes, one from the Mis
ses Hickeys, of the Millinery store across the
vtay, and the other from Miss Starke The do
nors have our thanks, and the prayer of the
printer that their laider may ever abound with
good things, and that they muy have plenty and
to spare of all that will add .to the comfort and;
j themselves and their friends.J||
were composed of the richest ingre
dients, put up in good style, and finished to
perfection.
Next, our friend Gust. McCoy, “ came a tap
ping at our door,” and on received,
placed npbn our table ; a basket containing a
fine cake, Which he presented to us with the
compliments of Mrs. MqCoy, Mrs. Feltz, Mrs,
Kearney and Mrs. . The ladies will
please accept our thanks for this their kind re
membrance of the printer while plenty ruled
their may each live to enjoy the re
turn of in»|gsore glorious Fourths, and al
ways be able"to “ s do likewise” to their friends
and the printer. '■*- j
Miss Ella will please accept the thanks of the
Junior for the handsome boquet handed him a
few evenings since. May her pathway through
life ever be strewn with flowers as bright and
sweet as those which composed the boqnet. We
speak metaphorically.
Another friend, incognito, sent us a boquet
of fragrant flowers to cheer as bn oar weary
way. They came opportunely; our previous
invoices, from generous wither
ed and died. We imagine we WtOTf the donor.
May the flowers of her household ever remain
as fair and pare.
Accident at the Foundry.— On Wednesday
last a laborer at the HoUidayaburg Foundry,
named James Cully, whilst assisting in pouring
metal from a large ladle, was .very severely
.burned by the accidental oversetting of the la
dle. The principal injury was to his, right leg
Jand foot, the metal getting into his boot and
embedding itself in the flesh. His right atm
was also considerably burned. We are pleased
to add, however,, that he is doing .well, and is
nst likely to be permanently crippled; He ex
pects to be about in the coarse of four or five
weeks.— RegUter, 4th lost.
Mill fine stone grist mill of Mr.
Samuel Isett, at Ironworks,, in this coun
ty, we regret to say, was totally destroyed by
fire on Sandfly last, together with all its con- , . « S from the number of

Altoona, July 2nd, 1860.
School Exhibition.— The scholars connected
wjth thepublio schools in this place, gave a
public exhibition at the East Ward school rooms,
on Thursday iSD<i Friday evenings, Juno 29th
and 80th. We cannot, and presume, are not,
expected to say much in reference thereto, as
we were only present for about 10 minutes on
the first evening. One thing we think, was ful
ly demonstrated, and that is, that to keep per
fect order among over children,
crowded into two rooms barely large mWnjifl. to
contain them; isnext to impossible. -While we
were presentjthe noise made by the ohildrenin
side of the hens* prevented us lyom hearing
what was said by those upon the stage. The
performances on the stage are said by those who
were close enough ,to hear to have been very
oreditahle. ■ We learirthat on the second'even
ing much more quiet was secured and the per
formances pessed.off to the satisfaction of: the
large audience collected to witness them. ' Could
the exhibition have been given by each school
separately, on different evenings, the result
would have been quite different and much more
• to the advantage ofj!.both teachers and scholars.
WoodcochiShootinq.— Some persons are un
der the impression that the Legislature passed
a law prohibiting t\ie shooting of woodcock
previous to the Ist of September, We learn
from one .of our Harrisburg cotemporaries that
sueh a law was reported in the Senate, bat was
never ealllH up for Action, and the time to com
mence shooting the|n legally is on the 4th of
July, as heretofore. : As there are now quite a
number of game laws, persons who do not ob
serve them carefully are likely to get thorn con
fused, and we therefore deem this information
due to the public, because many might be mis
led, while those who know that there was no
law of the kind passed would reap the advan
tage of their -knowledge by thinning out the
birds before the ignorant would get ! wind of it.
Our charge for the above information is the
same as that of our cotemporary ‘down the road,
viz :—half-dozen woodcock.
Douglas Meeting.— Pursuant to a call issued
fcy the Chairman of the Democratic Club, in
ihis place, the club-convened in Shultz's Hall,
on the evening of the 28th alt. On motion it
was adjourned to the front of the Altoona House,
where addresses were delivered by S. T. Mur
of fHollidaysburg; R. S. Johnston,
Esq., ffm. A. Stewart, for*
merly jof |SewJ 'Lori;. A senes ;of resolutions
were passed y-affinaing the adhesion of those
t to the Cincinnati platform,—cordially
endtnrsihg the nomination of Stephen A. Doug*
las by the Demoqrktio National - Convention-
Condemning the action of John G. Breckenridge
in accepting the nomination of the seceders, and
repudiating with “ scorn and contempt the prop
ositions beingmade by the political sorcerers and
their stipendiaries at 'Washington City and else
where, to degrade mid demoralize the democrat
ic party by & fusion with the Seceders in the
Empire and Keystone States.”
Encampment. —The much talked of encamp
ment to come off at Huntingdon, commencing
on the 24th and ending on the 29th of Septem
ber, promises to be a grand affair. Of one thing
we are sure, if we were in the military business
yet, there is no place we would rather attend
an Encampment at' than Huntingdon, not be
cause we were on one occasion escorted into
quarters under a guard of five or six six-footers
for staymg away a little longer than Gen. Wat
son thought necessary, to -escort some ladies
from the comp ground into town, but because
the town contains more pretty girls, of a so
ciable disposition, than any town of its size in
the country. ' We hope there may be a large
turn out at the encampment and that we may
be there to see.
Damage to Glass.— During tbe firing of the
small canon (manufactured for the occasion) at
crossing of yirginia and Annie streets, on
The meriting of the Fourth, -six lights of glass in
tbe bulk window of the Misses Hickey’s Mil
linery store, ;on ,the corner, were broken.—
The lights costing $1,25 each,
but we* are that the ladies refer
red to are expense of replacing
them, as tbpse who were engaged in firing
the cannon were gentlemen, and when they
found out the, damage they had done, immedi
ately set about procuring glass to repair the
window. i

Rot. Dr. Rodgers, Col.' JAMES 51. SWANK,Junior editor.
of the Johnatown JWbibie, toMiss LIZZIE, daughter of
Mr. Janus Hamilton.
Well, Colonel, we thought it was about time
for you to be attending to the commands of Ho

neither you nor your partner may ever regret

B®. Oar young friend, R. A. 0. Kerr, re
quests attention 40 the fact that he has on hand a
large stock ofßerea grind-stones, stud to be the
best in the country. They will give an edge as
keen its the tongue of a lawyer, and do it as qnick
as some politicians will turn their coats for the

but if you don’t yod can find something else to

Tall Oats.—'We notice a number of our co
temporaries bragging about 'tall rye, timothy
and oats stalks, which have been shown them,
but We find none which will take down a bunch
of oats stalks left with us a feW days since, the
tallest of which measured six feet two inches,
and the remainder about sue feet. It was from
the farm of Mr. C. B, Sink, a Short
from town. The' field from which it was
taken.!* said to beof the “ same sort” mAeight.

Since graduating at the <( Iron City," three years
since, I have had no diffionlty in obtaiiiing con
stant employment as a Book-Keeper; and when
asked for evidence of toy ability, 1 have only to
refer to my Diploma. No other testitoOnial is
required here, as to one’s ability as an account
ant, than assurance of the fact, that he is a
graduate of the Iron City College, Pittsburgh,
Pa* Truly Yours, E. D, HARDISON.
Moscow, Polk Co. Texas, May 25, 1860.
New Papxb. —Some time since, Messrs. Mar
tin & Ray.issned a prospectus for a new paper,
to be styled the Tilair County American, to be
published this place. They have rented the
room adjoining this office and are now engaged
in getting up the first number of their paper,
which, we presume, will be out in the'coarse of
a week or two. As its name indicates, it is to
be American in polities.
tS* The Logan Rifle Rangers were out on
Saturday last, in ’a new fatigue dress, consisting
of light oil cloth caps instead of their heavy
dress parade caps, and red shirts instead of their
dress frock coats,. Although their number was
small, they made a fine appearance, the new
dress being quite an improvement on the old
one, to our eye, at least.
Has the dog law been enforced yet ?
One of two things iotrae—either there are more
valuable dogs in this place, on which their own
ers pay the tax, or the Constable has not atten
ded to the collection of the tax, andthe decapi
tation of all canines for whom no one will 11 sock
up.”
A Chance. —Miss Jennie- Scott ipfottna oa
that she 3 intends disposing of her stock of mil
linery goods and notions on Monday
evening next, July 16th. ■ Ladies in want of
. anything in the line of Bonnets, trimmings and
notions should attend, os'they will get bargains.
Don’t forget the time—Monday evening nex{.
License Granted. —At the Adjourned Court
held in Hollidaysburg, some two weeks since,
Ike following additional licenses were granted
to' tavern-keepers in this place, viz: John Dev
lin, John Stahl, Jacob Allman apd John Nagle.'
J. Berkowitz was granted a wholesale license.
Keep out of Harm's Wav.— This is good ad rice to all
persona, at any time, but especially at a season of the year
when coughs and colds liarrass the system, and frequently
lay the foundation of permanent disease of the lungs or
some of the organs connected with respiration. To all af
flicted In that way an early resort to the proper medicine
will at once arrest the malady aud hinder the development
of a£i incurable disease. Da. Kevser’s Pectoral Cocan
Strop, made by him at his medicine store, 140 Wood St-
Pittsburgh, Pa., is such a medicine, and if it were resorted
to at Abe commencement of a cough or influenza, there
would be fewer deaths from pulmonary consumption. You
can buy it at G. W. Kessler’s.
Narrow Escape prom Deownimq. —On Saturday last, a
(QU of Col. A. DcArroit, about 13 years of age, while play
ing with some boys on the wall of the Oaysport viaduct,
was precipitated into the river and would certainly hare
been drowned but for the timely assistance of Wm. Henry,
Sr- and Hugh Curry, who rescued him Just as ho was sink
ing the fourth time, under the water, which was same eight
or ten feet deep.— Standard.
tEB-Tho “model conductor” has again assumed his posi
tion on the Huntingdon Accommodation, and ittiow looks
like the old institution. We are glad to note that Jim has
almost, if not altogether recovered from his recent attack of
rheumatism, and looks about as fat and saucy as over.

Messes. Editobs that an account
of the manner in which the Fourth was com-,
memorated in this place would prove of some
interest to your readers, I have concluded to
give a short sketch of it.
The day was ushered in at an early hour by
the ringing of bells, the booming of cannon, and
the soul-stirring music of fife and dram. Not
withstanding the heavy rain which fell in the
morning,'crowds of people flocked into town,
from various directions. It is estimated that.'
about three thgpsand persons were in our place.
At the hohyjmtaointcd. a procession headed by - -
th |^^ n B^ |; t m e r 7 and several. Lodges of
were fprm6d in the Diamond, which
proceeded to a grove near the Franklin High j
School, where a stand bad been erected for the
speakerqpand seats for the accommodation of I
the spectators. After the assemblage .word I
seated, the band played Hail Columbia, in an I
admirable manner. An appropriate prayer was
then offered by Bev. Mr. Graham. Mr. Herbst
vras introduced and in a clear and firm voice,
read the Declaration! of independence. Addres-
then delivered by Bey. Buckley and
Hamer, and Dr. Wintrode, : of Huntingdon
County. The latter gentfeman’s remarks, which 1

The andirace ien : ad}J>«rned to the Franklin
High School, in the spacious rooms of which I
large tables had betor erected, and were loaded
with the good things of this life, prepared by
the’ hospitable citizens of Martineburg, It is
needless to attempt to give* a description of what
was-en tbe tsbles ; suffice it to say, that they
were ladenedwith all the snbstantlals and lux
uries of this lift, with which the rich country of
the sove.abounds. The tables accommodated
about three hundred persons, and were filled for
the sixth time. It is estimated that nearly two
’ thousand' persons partook of the sumptuous re
past, and yet thare was an abundance left.
Towards evening the crowds began to
jierte to their homes. Everything passed off
pleasantly—no accident—no quarreling among
this large and promiscuous assemblage, as fre
quently happens on such occasions.
In the evening a Grand vocal and Instramen
fri Concert was given by Prof. Eller sad band,
in the Town HalL The ro&n, which liras large,
was filled to its utmost capacity.. The enter
tainment passed off in a delightful manner—all
being pleased.
Thus passed off the most pleasant Fourth in
Martineburg. Every one seemed to enjoy it to
their heart’s contend ' May we as a people feel
deeply thankful to <Ln overruling Providence
that we are in a land of Liberty and'lndepen
dence, and hail with feelings of patriotism the
return of the Fourth of July. ? ■-

rapidly gaining popularity in this community. Ihavfenad
occasion to lay prejudice aside,' an. I give your Hair Kes
torative a perfect tost:—
During the year 1864, I was so unfortunate as to ba
thrown frbm my sulky against a root near the rdadwe,
from which my head received sj most terrible blow*; oaa
sing a great deal of irritation, nfhich communicated - tfi tM
brain and external surface of the- head, from the efeects of
which my hair was finally destroyed over the, entire MN
face of the head. From .the tiijae I - first discovered its,
dropping, however, np to the time of its total disappear*
ance, I employed everything I could think ofi belugapftK

nature of the disease, but was finally defeated in evfiryjkfe*

These and no other circumstances induced meiordaort

my most sincere thanks. Best! assured, dear sir, I sfiall
