ENOCH LEWIS, Gen-’l Supt. LOCAL ITEMS. Axotheb Invention.— Recent fires in New York, Philadelphia and other cities, in which persons in the upper stories of buildings have perished for want of some means of escape, has induced a number of persons to get up inven tions which nre termed “fire escapes,’' but all that we havfe yet seen noticed in the scientific papers, are lacking in some particular, being either too unwieldy, hard to manage, or unsafe. k few evenings since we were shown .an inven tion of this character, got up by ofir townsman, Hr. Andrew Clabaugb, which is entirely differ ent from anything of the kind /et; brought oat, and possesses the merit of occupying a smaller epace, when out of use, than any of the others, and requiring so little time to adjust it to any height, lu size and shapd, when not in use, it resembles a common fire engine, ft is con structed with a platjorm on top, on which a half-a-dozen persons can be elevated to a height of 70 feet in a few moments. The frame r work which elevates the platform, will be made of iron and will also form -a ladder, which, by moans of a gearing at the bottom, can be thrown to any angle, and on which persons can ascend and descend with the same rapidqty that they could on a common ladder. This “(escape’’ will be so secured as to make it perfectly safe. Those who have seen it pronounce it good. Mr. C. has sent on his modeland applied for a pat ent. When he obtains it, we shall; have more to say of the invention. ! Promoted.-?— lt ever gives us pleasure to note the promotion of young men to responsible po sitions, when we know them to be well qualified for and deserving of such promotion; and for this reason we take pleasure in recording the selection of our young friend, Robt. Pitcairn, to fill the office of Superintendent of Middle Divi sion, P. R. R., to take effect to-day (Wednes day.) He has been connected with the Road for the last eight or ten years, and commenced life thereon, like his colleague on the Western Division, as errand boy and telegraph operator, consequently he has risen step by sitep until he has reached his present position. His familiar ity with the working arrangements of the Road fitted him for the position add a better selection could not have been made. Hero again, as in the case of Mr. Carnegie, is an incentive to those boys, who now occupy the positions once occupied by them, to endeavor to arrive at the sane round in the ladder of promotion,—the se cret is, upright conduct, strict integrity and in domitable perseverance. More Good Wheat.—On Saturday last, Mr. Thomas Crissman left with as specimens of three different kinds of wheat, which equal that left with us by Mr. MoGlathery, a few weeks tincc, and which hasjnot been excelled by any wc have seen noticed in our exchanges. Mr. Crissman left us ahead of white bine stem which measured GJ inches in length and contains be tween 9ii and 100 grains,—a head of .Mediterra nean wheat between 5 andG inches * n length which contains 96 grains—and 3 heads of com mon red wheat, which, although not so large as we have seen, are exceedingly well,filled with large, solid grains. He infortas us ithat from one head of this wheat he took 111 grains Talk about the mountains around Altoona being poor and unproductive. Lancaster county can tafdly beat the above.

The car ls designed exclusively for the use of the Board of Directors of the road. It will always be run as the last car on the train, and is built after the following fashionlt is divided into • three compartments—the first, or front com partment is intended for a refreshment room, con taining a table, stools, and all the necessary per quisites for comfort and convenience. The table is fastened to the floor by sockets, so that itcannot be upset by the jolting of the car while inmotion. Adjoining this is a pantry in which to stow away the viands. The central part of the car is fitted up for a sleeping-room, and is supplied with Woodruff's patent conches. It contains twelve berths-—six on each side. Here also are water, toilet arrangements, etc., all most ingeniously contrived for the use and convenience of the Di rectors. The last compartment of the car is no more nor less than a small parlor, fitted up in the latest style, with seats for twelve guests.-i The sides of this car are decorated with land scape paintings, representing scenery along the Pennsylvania Railroad; while on the rear end of the oar is a platform, surrounded with iron railing, sufficiently broad to allow the whole of the Directors to stand orsit upon to view the road, while the train is in motion, without any danger. Everything inside the car is finished in the most elegant style, making it a model of neatness as well as convenience. The car was got up by Mr. C. R. Hostetler, the Foreman of,the car shop in this place, and the arrangement of the conveniences are principally of his designing. The landscape paintings were executed by Mr. Ralph Greenwood, Foreman of the paint shop, and are ’ very handsome and life-like. The car is d model and highly creditable to all engaged in gettiug-it up, and worth a visit to look at. tt»-A;M. 7 OO A.M. 6 80 P.M. 740 “ Heavy Raw—Damage fboh Lightning. —On Sunday evening last, the heaviest shower of rain we have had this season, passed over this place, accompanied by very sharp lightning and thun der. During the shower, one of the brick houses belonging to Mr. C. Jaggard, on Harriet street; East Altoona, ‘was struck by lightning.— The fluid entered through the roof, tearing it considerably, thence through the attic floor, also tearing it up, and from thence it passed down and out of the house through a gas pipe. Strange to say, fire was not communicuted to the building. Fortunately the bouse was unoc cupied. 1 8®» The Prince of Wales is now in this country, and as he intends visiting Cincinnati and other western cities, he will most likely pass through this place on his way to or from the West. As he is a lover,of luxuries, of course he wilt drop in at Taylor’s saloon, next door; to the Bank, and partake of a saucer of the delicious ice cream there manufactured, or a plate of those fine Cove Plant. Oysters always on hand, and wash down with one of the many ice cool drinks served up on short notice, be sides filling his pockets with confectionaries, &0., selected from the good stock kept in this estab lishment. i s PicNic.—The members'of Veranda Lodge, I. O; of O. F., will field their Third Annual Pie Nic in one of the groves contiguous to this place, on Saturday , August 18th. The Committee of Arrangements is composed of men who can get up snob an affair in good style, and the list of Managers contains the names of our best citi zens. From the fact that Floor Managers nre announced, of course there will be dancing in thfe programme. The music will be furnished by the Harrisburg String Band. A gay time may be expected. B@-Tie reservoir of the Altoona Gas and Water Company is now being raised three feet higher. This will enable the Company to sup ply water in some localities where it is wanted, but cannot be forced,' on account of tfie head being too low.

I havehad occasion to lay prejudice aside, and givd Vour Hair Res torative a; perfect test :-r During the year 1854,''J was so unfortunate as to ba thrown from my eulky against a rock near: the road-side, from which my head received a most terrible Wow: cau mng a great deal ol irritation, which communicated to the bi.'iu and external surface of the head, from the effects of which my hair was finally destroyed over the entire sur face of ino head. From the time I first discovered its dropping, however, up to the time of its total disappear ance, I employed everything I could think Of, being a pro fessional man myself, and, as X thought, understanding the nature ofthe disease hut was finally defeated in every pre scription advanced.' % t| These and no othef circumstances induced mo to resort to your worthy Hair Rejfordtivo, which I bare every rea son to believe, prodaccd a yery happy result } two tnonthe after the first application, I laid C* beautiful a head of yonug*hair as 1 over saw, for whwh 7 certainly owe yon my most sincere thanks.

Dear sir.—l feel it my duty as well as mV pleasure, to slate to yon the following circumstance, which you can use as you think proper. A gentleman of this place, fa law yer,) haa been bald ever since his early youth; so much so, that he Was compelled to wear a wig. He was induced to nse a bottle of your “ Hair Restorative,” which ho liked very much; and after using some two or three bottles his hair grow out quite luxuriantly, and ho now has a hand some head of hair. The gentleman’s name is Bradford, and as he is very well known In our adjoining counties, many persons can testify to the truth of this statement; I rive it to you at the request of Mr. Bradford. You can sail a great deal of yonr Hair Restorative in this aVd ing counties if yon have the proper agents. YomjLSc - _ THOMPSON SUROIKOR.
