The torch light procession, pre- • vious to the organization of the meeting, was the : longest we have seen in the place this year, num- j bering’in the neighborhood of 200. It was pre- ! ceeded by the Altoona Brass Band. At a few minutes past 8 o’clock, an extra train from Hoi- i lidaysburg brought in some 125 or 150 persons, : accompanied-by Van Tries’ Cornet Band. After ; the organization of the meeting the aadience was addressed by Hon. Herschel V. Johnson, of ; Georgia, the candidate of the Party for Vice i President. He is a large man, of rather prepos- sessing appearance, and a fluent speaker. He was a little severe on the Breckinridge wing of i the party. His remarks were listened to with ! very marked attention by the large audience, ! composed of the members of aR parties, who ' naturally wished to hear a man who is a candi- ! date for the second highest office in the gift of the people. He was followed by Gon. Wm. H. Miller, of Harrisburg and Mr. Jeffries, of Ohio, but we can not speak of their efforts, as we did not stay to hear them. 7 00 A.M. 7 00 A.M. 6 30 P. M. 7 40 “ 7 10 A. U 716 “ 740 “ 6 60 P. M 8 10 P.M. B6U At a competitive examination of the stu dents of Duff’s Mercantile College, Pittsburgh, held in the College Hall, on Tuesday, over one hundred dollars in premiums were distributed by the enterprising proprietor. The examina tion was conducted by the Principal and Pro fessors, assisted by A. B. Hatch and R, S- Da vis, Esqs. The first premium in book-keeping was awarded to W. T. Beatty, of Washington, Pa.; the second to J. Y. Boice, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; ;the third to T. A. Perdeaux, Cumberland, Pa. The first premium in penmanship was awarded to J. Y. Boice, of Pittsburgh ; the sec ond to C. Jones, Letart Fulls, Ohio ; the third to W. C. Raffertj', Pittsburgh, Pa. The first premium in commercial law was awarded to J. M. Tecce, Brownsville, Pa.; the second to J. Robison, Hardin county, Ohio. Many of the problems in book-keeping were of the most in tricate character, and the manner in which they were solved maintains the long established rep utation of the institution for the superior at tainments of its Students. We shall take an early opportunity of laying some of them before our commercial readers Press. QrAuncATioxs of Voters.— The law re quires a person who claims the right to vote, to have been a citizen of this Commonwealth “ at least one year, and in the election district at least ten days immediately preceding such elec tion, and within two years to have paid a State or county tax, which shall have been assessed at least ten days before the election. But a citizen of the United States, who has previously been a qualified voter of the State, and removed therefrom and returned, and who shall have re sided in the election district, and paid taxes aforesaid, shall be entitled to vote after residing ia-tlns Slate six months. But citizens of the United States, between the ages of 21 and 22 years, who have resided in the election district ten days,'as aforesaid, shall be entitled to vote, although they shall not have paid taxes.” Are you assessed ? See to it immediately that you are. Saturday, the 29th inst., is the last day on which this duty can be attended to to secure a vote at ilie ensuing election—as the election takes place ou Tuesday, the 9th of October. Prince of Wales.— The Pittsburgh Chroni cle says that the car recently built iu the shops iu this place, for the exclusive use of the Di rectors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, will be furnished to the Prince of Wales and his suite, at Cincinnati, and will be occupied by them until they reach Washington. It is pro posed to leave Pittsburgh on Tcsday afternoon, October 2d, arriving in Washington on the af ternoon of the next day. Since the above was placed in type, we learn that the Prince and suite will pass through this place on Tuesday evening next. Mr.' E. H. Turner, General Car Inspector of the Penn’a R. IV, goes to Cincinnati with the car intended for the Prince, and will have charge of it until it arrives at Washington. | Pole Raising. —On Saturday evening last, the friends of Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin, in i this place, raised a pole on the corner pt Vir ginia and Julia steets, opposite their Club Room. The gathering was large and orderly, and the pole was soon planted. It is 80 feet high. On the top is a very small flag, a few feet frbm the top is a handsome red, whit?'and blue streamer 12 or 15 feet long, and point level with the windows of the Club Room a rope is stretched nne of^the windows, from which Advertise.— All seasons ig, but tbe full is usually imes are as good as any for what little is going ic others are grumbling, id with their newspaper for a life preserver, swin on the top of the water while others around them are sinking. Adver tising is the very sunshine of business, and those who neglect to profit by it, will after a life of dullness and adversity discover the important secret that a man makes very little out of this world'unless he lets people know that he is in it. Godey’s Lady’s Book.—Qodey is always regular as block work. His book Comes to hand between the 10th and 15th of every month, and there is no disappointment to the expectations of the la,dies. This number was anxiously look ed for by the ladies, as those who take it had to wait for it to get the fall fashions, dad they are fine. Every lady should have this Book.— Pried three per annum. We furnish it for §2, SS?* Do you want a dish of good Cove Plant Oystdrs?

Give John a call. 1 S)Sf“ The publication of the Blair County Un j ion has been discontinued. across the street, a large of Lincoln, Hamlin and LaT'est From, the Wreck.— The Chicago Times Btatea that vigilant parties are constantly on the beaCh at work rescuing bodies from the enrf. A noble Newfoundland dog has been of “great assistance in recovering bodies, but he ut : terly refuses any; reward in the shape of carcas i ses from bystanders, snapping and snarling at j them when;any such demonstrations are offered. I All the bodies found yesterday were in a far advanced stage of decomposition, and some of I them could with difficulty be identified by any i thing but the garments upon them. It is be - lieved that few, if any, of those in the lower I cabin, about all of whom were ladies, escaped. One of the rescued states that just before the | boat went to the bottom he looked down into I the cabin and beheld many ladies running wild j ly about in their night robes, apparently just , come from their berths. These doubtles still S remain with the wreck. There is good reasons to believe, from the steward’s statement and from other sources of information, that there were from three to four hundred people on board of that ill-fated vessel the night she went down. Of these, the greater portion were people in limited circumstances, and mostly with large families. It is estimated by good judges in Mil waukie, that over one thousand orphans, ns the Milwaukie Sentinel says, will be thrown on the world, and two hundred Widows. This is pro bably the largest amount of distress that any city in the Union has ever known, if we except the city of Lawrence in the Lawrence mill ca tastrophe. The Growth of the Country.— The growth and prosperity of this country, in population, products and enterprise, as shown by the census returns are something marvelous to contemplate. If our forefathers of two generations past could behold the wonderful increase in population, the extent of territory under cultivation, the abun dant returns from the soil, the number and mag nitude of cities and towus thickly covering the country, the vast mi neral resources being daily developed, the railroad and steamboat enterprise flourishing everywhere, they would be struck with astonishment as profound as would be the ancient barbaric nations could they behold the marvels which -science and knowledge have wrought in our day. In the history of the world there is truly no parallel for the rapid growth of the United States. An Unpleasant Bedfellow. —A few nights since, Mr. John Fnlk, living in Athens county, Ohio, was aroused by his wife, and requested to exaruinethc bed clothing, and remove a lo cust she had heard make a noise. Mr. Fulk made the examination, but discovering nothing, again retired to bed, and was aroused the second time by his spouse, who insisted that there was a locust in the bed. In his second search, Mr. Fulk encountered a rattlesnake three feet three inches in length, l which was comfortably enscon ced under the covers, which he immediately des patched. Mr. Fulk killed the mate to this snake a few days previous to this occurrence a short distance from his dwelling. A Physician Killed by a Fly. —A physician named Friedlander, died at his residence in Chi cago, on Wednesday, after a most distressing illness, caused, as was believed, from being bit ten in the face by a fly, that had brought poison communicated from the carcass of a poisoned dog. No medical remedies availed anything, and so fearful were the effects of the disease that a few hours after the breath had left his body the friends were forced to hurry his re mains into the grounl. Tekkible Storm in Italy. —One of the most disastrous storms of thunder and hail ever re membered, visited Turin and the neighborhood on the 21st ult. .It was, however, near Fclrara, in the Papal States, that the tempest reached its highest point of violence. Houses were leveled to the ground, a church was demolished, and the priests at the alter, together with eighty other persons, were killed. BOL. A colored p'.rl. named Murrels, residing in Alexandria, Hunt iug.luii Co., gave birth tu, a child, week before lust, which she immediately killed, and hid the dead body in the cellar. She was arrested. BQfr,, Funny Fern says—l immediately love the man who blushes ” Oh, dear ;we hope she will not come this way. A noisy tongue is a sure index to an empty head.

The Suxsy South, —This book is composed of a series of letter*, written in an interesting style of a narrative, em bodying the most romantic 1 features of social life on differ ent kinds of plantations. We can bear testimony, from our own personal observation of similar scenes in the South, to their truthfulness as here depicted. They are portrayed ■ in a vivid, interesting style,; and we would like to sec the ' book in the bauds of thousands of deceived people, who have no personal knowledge either of Southerners or South ern life, except what they have gained from partisan joun nnls, or those who intentionally have written to deceive.— Daily EcpidtUc, Buffalo, N. K The Sunny South.— This volume is in the form of letters. They give, so far os we can judge, faithful pictures of • Southern life, and are penned without prejudice. They present scenes quite different from an *Unclo Tom’s Cabin.* the pictures presented here are quite graphic, and we think the portraits painted arc in very nearly natural colors. — - Boston Daily Bee.
