Shocking Homicide.— The Pittsharghpapers
papers of Friday Tastj brings os the intelligence
of the shooting of T., H. B. Jackson, son of Gel.
C. F. Jackson, conduct©* on the Penn’a E. R.,
by a man named Miohael Kirk, on Thursday
erening last It appears that between eight and
nine o’clock in the evening, while the deceased
and some four or. five companions were sitting
in front of a saloon on Peen street, Kirk and a
woman named Lisbon camgi along, when it was
proposed by Jackson to follow them, to which
his companions assented, and leaving their gents
they proceeded leisurely in pursnit of Kirk
They followed Kirk and the woman until they
entered Mechanics street bridge, where Jackson,
who was in the advance, caught .up with them.
Some words passed between them, the exact
term of which is not known, bat something was
said about shooting: Shortly after Jackson
leaped from the side-walk into the carriage way,
being then only a few feet from Kirk. The re
, port of s pistol followed and Jackson fell dead
on the bridge, while Kirk and his companion
walked leisurely away. iOne of Jackson’s com
panions then came ap, and finding that bis
friend had been shot, be harried back to bis
companions, and informing thein of wbathad
occurred, a physician was sent for. He arrived
on the ground in a few minutes but his services
were of no Avail, as the deceased ‘bad never
breathed after being shot, and was then a corpse.
physician who made the postmortem exam
ination gave in evidence that the ball hod pas
sed though the ascending aorta, just as it leaves
the heart, which was sufficient to produce in
stant death. As soon as intelligence of the af
fair reached the Mayor’s office, the entire police
force was sent out to capture the murderer, but
no trace of he or his companion could be found,
although it is almost impossible for him to es
cape. Young Jackson was known to many per
sons in this pkee who will regret his sudden
“ taking off.’* .His family -have the sympathy
of all who are acquainted with them.
.Turn ZquAVM.—This celebrated Chicago ;»ili
taity company, aoknowled to be the best drilled
company In ;the country, passed through this
place on Monday morning last, on their way
houe from an excursion to No w York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. To look at them,
one would be for from lbrmih£ a favorable opin
ion of them, and--this proves) that appearances
are deceiving. They ate all small men, few if
any of them being medium size, and they are
also all young men, most of them looking like
bojs. The uniform worn on Monday morning
consisted of red .pants, blue frock coats, or
roundabouts, and red caps, and looked h little
the worse of the wear. They intended Stopping
over a day or two in Pittsburgh to givethe mill-
Uiy of that city a lesson in military tactics.
Their trip through the east has given a new im
petus to the military spirit, and quite a number
of Zouave -companies are being organized in
the different cities visited. We Ibink it would
be a fine thing for the country, were all the
young men to join snob companies, and Ijve up
to the Regulations which govern the Chicago
company, viz;—drink no liquor of any kind,
keep out of all bad company, keep good hours
at night, ini short, live perfectly moral lives.
ComaioH.—Oa Thursday morning last, the
Fast Freight trains east and west came in colli
sion near the second bridge above Lewistown.—
They had ty>th been thrown out of time by the
Express Passenger train East, which was an
hour behind:time The engines -of both trains
were completely wrecked, and the fireman on
utsUntly idfted. It appears that when he saw
the trains to come into collision, he at-

the engines and from thence some eight or ten
feet from the train . He was-immediately pick-
but only drew a few breaths after being

parents reside, on the same day.
Attempted Eobbkkt.— On Saturday night

JOHN SHOSUAKJBS, P. U.
Marions.—Since our last Issue, we have ob
two beantifal meteors ebook athwart the
iky, neither of them, however, as huge asthe
one noticed two weeks since. The first, on thurs
day evening last, passed from West to 8. 8. E
It passed very rapidly and left a beautiful trail
behind it exactly resembling a rocket inits
ascent The second, on Monday evening last
passed from 3. S.E.toN. It was larger than
the meteors usually seen, and was followed by a
train similar to that of a rocket. When half
iray wross the sky it Separated, one-half falling
back into the train and making a beautiful py
rotechnic displays.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
says that the week begining the 16th and end
ing the 2Sd of July, was favorable to the pro
iduction of electrical phenomena, and says that
conditions will again be favorable during th/
week from the 16 th to the 22d of August, and
from the 12th to the 18th of September; and
those who have leisure will, in all probability,
be highly entertained should they look heaven
ward, on the nights of those days, particularly
16th, 17th, and 18th. of August, the 14th, 15th,
and 16th of September. But meteors are not
all that may be expected. Shooting stars are'
seen every month of the year; but there Jse
some half a doxen periods during which Uiey
are very abundant. Tfaesenre April 22-25, July
17-26—during which the lifts meteor appeared
—August 9-11, October 16-18, November 12-24
and 27-29, December 6-12. January is men
tioned os having frequently brilliant displays,
but the day .is not stationary. The August
epoch seems to have been the richest of late
years. It hardly ever fails to bring a very
abundant harvest of meteors. Formerly that of
November 12-14 exceeded all others. The De
cember epoch seems to be poor, and the second
one of November the most barren of all. As
luminous, meteors, stones falling to the earth in
showers or singly, shooting stars, and the like,
seem to be all due to the same oosmical causes,
these epochs are of special interest to the as- 1
tronomer and metreologist. 1
Miraculous Esoap*.— One day last week,
Mr. Parks, miller at Baker’s Crystal Spring
■Mills, near this place, made a most miraculous
escape. It appears that he was engaged in
greasing some of the machinery, and in doing
so, came in. contact with a perpendicular revol-
Vlng iron shaft,.about three inches in diameter,
which was covered with gummed oil, and having
no vest on, apd his shirt having worked up
loosely above his pants, tha gammed oil caught
it and wound it around the shaft, drawing Mr.
P. with it. He says he .remembers going around
but how many more times he oan not tell,
as the next he remembers was finding himself
lying on the floor along aide of the shaft, with
both his over and under shirt .torn off. It was
fortunate that ha-fell, or was thrown, on that
side of the shaft, for had he been thrown to
the other side, he -would have, fallen upon the
straps and wheels of themiil-gearing and been
ground almost to powder. Other than a few
slight braises, he received no iryary. How
he escaped with sonnd limbs, even falling where
he did, is a mystery.
Fi*|i or in* Sbasoh.—On Wednesday last,
August lst,;tbe season sot apart by an “ Act of
Assembly” for shooting and hunting deer open
ed, and at least one ©f our hunters has made an
opening in the herd Of ties* who frequent the
“ n ’eck ©’timber” styled the “ Kettle,” Our old
friend, E<-B. Taylor, who is, in fact, a second
edition of old Nimrod, brought down si fine
yojang’faun, just in jrnne order, on the first
day of tho season, and on Friday last, he drew
a sure “ heed” on a whopping big buck, which
he also brought down. He has oar thanks for
those fine slices of the? old fellow’s hams which
he left upon our table on Saturday. We wish
him a buck every day while the season lasts;
and are knpw if any man can find them he can.
If they don’t get the “ Trial” of him he’ll fetch
them.
Fra* Gama.—On Saturday last, Mr. Rnn
yan received from the West an invoice of .thirty
head of the finest cattle, taken altogether/ that
could be picked up in the western; counties. No
better cattle are killed for any city market, for
the reason that better could not be had.' The
lot averaged him nearly $lOO a head—cash
live iteight, and from this those who know the
value of cattle can judge of them. But the best
part of the matter is that these cattle are inten
ded for the Altoona market. Mr; R, will serve
them oat in pteak and roasts every Tuesday,
Thursday, aad Saturday morning, and those who
get meat of himcannotcpmplainof its quality.
.. The eyer welcome countenance of H airy
Gray, one of the popular conductors 0 f the Fast
Xdnie, P. R. It, lopmed up in onr sanctum on
Wednesday last, and it really did us good to get
a shake hands with him,-as it is seldom that we
have an opportunity to do so, tinder the present
arrangement of the trains. We found him the
same genial spirit that he has ever been and by
which he has made himself sp many .worn
friends, and become so popular with the travel
ing community. Few men have served the com
pany more stpadUy imd fMlhfully thanHany,
during the last eight yean, and his place could
not be better filled. Long may he occupy it.
day last week, a party
of bqys, who were playing •in the cellar under
the kitchen part of Mr. Alex. Mock’s new house,
in East Altoona, attempted to get up a hen-fire,

We have put up and sold this article for over ten year*,
and can say, in confidence and trnthi of it, what we have
never been able to say of any other medicine—never baa it
foiled, In a single instance, to effect'» cure, when timely
used., Never did we know an inatandsof dissatisfaction by
“^ 0 2! who^ ed,t th ® .contrary, aUare delighted
with Its operations, and speak in ternMof highest commen
datlon of ita magical effect* and medical virtues. We sneak
in this matter “what we do know,” after ten years’ expe
rience, and pledge onr reputation for the fulfilment of what
wo here declare. In almost every instance where the in-
Clnt is suffering from pain and exhaustion, relief will be
found in fifteen or twenty minutes sifter the syrnn is ad
ministered.
This valuable preparation to the prescription of one of
the most experienced and skillful nurses in New England
and has been used with neyer-fidliug success in thousands
of eases.
N It not only relieves the child from pain, but invigorates
the stomach and bowels, corrects acidity, and gives tone
and energy to the whole systoni. It will almost instantly
relieve Griping in the Bowels and IRnd Colie, and over,
come convnlsoins, which, if not speedily remedied, end in
death. Wo believe itthe best andtm* «*«§ iSthe
world, in ail cases ofDysentery and Diarrhoea in children,
whether it arises from teething or Iroin any other cause-
We would say to every mother who has a child suffering
from any of the foregoing complaints—do hotlet yonrprr
indices, nor the prejudices of others,; stand between your
suffering child and the relief that Will be sure—yes, abso
lutely sure—to follow the use of this medicine, if timely
nsed. Full directions for using will accompany each hot*
tie. None genuine unless the fao-slmile of CDRTIS Jt
