■ « Where Were Yob When the Bell Rang?”
—Ordinarily, we pay no further attention to
the ringing.of the Railroad shop bell, than to
drop our work and haste to our homes, however
homely they may be; yet to the contemplative
mind there is something interesting in the and- |
den cessation of work in the evening when the j
bell rings. All the workmen are vigorously j
plying the hammer and other noisy instruments, j
Suddenly the bell Ups, paralyzing every arm— ,
In another moment a living mass is pouring out |
through every door. One exclaimed to another
~ »heie were you when the bell rang’” The
answer was commonplace ; but it suggested the
thought, “ where were the minds of that mass
when the bell rang ?” Truly varied must have
been the thoughts that were passing through
their heads while their external motions were
to similar. The younger men were full of light
and merry ideas, even though some features of
the war were before them. They were thinking
of the nights amusement, the evening spent at
"a friend’s house, the already appropriated
maiden who was even then preparing her toilet
to reccivetbem. Men of maturity had, in many
cases, their thoughts upon the war, and while
toiling monotonously their souls were in Mis
uari, or Kentucky, or Hatteras, or Pickens.— j
One weary-faced man was thinking of tho siok I
child or wife, the watching of whom through j
the long night was a bad preparation for tho j
day's work. One man's busy brain was full of
the minutm of a great invention he bad made,
which was to bring him a fortune. Another 1
was working with might and main to approve
himself “ a workman that needed not to be
ashamed''—his supreme ambition being a fore
maeship. Another works sullenly and me
chanically, in every sense. The world owes
him a living and refuses to acknowledge the
debt, though quite willing to .supply his deeds
in return for his labor. Another is sullen be
cause he is a great unknown genius, nnd seems
likely to remain such. Another thinks himself,
and perhaps is, one of the burden-bearers of a
ngw “dispensation.” Solemn, yet cheerful, he
e lands in his humble lot awaiting opportunities
to put in his oar in a Way that will help on the
car of progress. Mayhap some one like Paul,
the tent-maker, is toiling there unconscious that
future generations will name their creeds and
cathedrals after him! One man’s thoughts are
intent upon the new cottage ho is erecting.—
Another has his eye on a little shop, the good
will and fixtures of which he will buy. Then
he will be his own master. Another is over
clouded with thoughts of some dark crime he
has committed or contemplates. Another is
full of visions of grand palaces, country seats,
honors and emoluments. Another is dwelling
on the glooms of some dark theology, in spite
of all efforts, he sinks in deep waters where
there is no standing. Another sees all spiritual
things coleour dt rose, and looks forward to a
joyous, “love feast.”
The Witness “Bore.”—lf there is one bore '
in this world greater than another, it is that of
being compelled .to act the part of a witness in
Court, and bo kept banging around the Court-
House, day after day, under the delusion that
the case on which you have been summoned
will come up next in order, only to find that
when it is called up, some important (?) witness
is absent, or an attachment is out, and the trial
must be postponed for an hour or two; and at
last to find that Court has adjourned and the
case will not bo' tried at all. And then again
the pay foots up so nicely—something after the
following fashion:
Cost of board, per day, at a good hotel, $ .7£
Cigars, apples, chestnuts, etc., per day, .12J
Loss by neglect of business at home, 1.60
Witness fee per day,
Nett loss, $1.75-
Who wouldn’t be a witness under such cir
cumstances? We are of "the opinion that if
all those who go to law .Were compelled to re
imburse their witnesses for loss of time and pay
, their expenses, there would be fewer suits en
tered up for adjudication in our Courts, and tho
county saved much unnecessary cost in the way
of jurors fees, &o.
Bosksis.—We are not in tho ; habit of com
menting, favorably or unfavorably, upon ladies
fashions. We are prone to allow them to select
and wear what they please, and we do the same.
Wc may, however, speak of the fall style of
bonnets, and be allowed to say that we think
them very pretty. The form'* varies but little
from that worn during tbe summer. It is some
what more elevated over the forehead, and fits
closer to the cheeks. The materials used are
chiefly velvets—black and bine being the pre
vailing colors. A new shade —blue azuline —is
the latest novelty, as it certainly is the most
he&atifai tint extant, Black and white lace,
white, black, and blue azuline fancy ostrich and
•cub* feathers, flowers, and grapes, are much
employed in trimmings. The ribbons are wy
wide and rich. A speciality of the Parinan
ckaptaut is that the fronts and sides, lit many
mstancea instead of being of the same .material
as the rest of the hat, are fomed of rich lace.'
this gives a peculiarly light and graceful char
acter to the bonnet - *

The Wa» ExomtHEHT —ft li mlly astonish
ing to note the little interest manifested in any
thing save war nests. If we dt) not take op the
greater portion of our paper with details of bat
tles, or thrilling incidents connected therewith,
it is voted uninteresting. Th|o account of a
skirmish, or a recosnolsanee in.force, in which
balf-a-dosen are killed On- each;side, is no lon
ger sufficient to satisfy, the thirst for excitement,
and in'consequence the imaginations of army
reporters are largely drawn upon to feed the
credulity of stay-at-homeireaders and make the
daily papers sell. Th 4 case of the old lady who
complained, in the time of the Mexican War,
that she “didn’t enjoy her murders anymore,”
illustrates the position of thousands in this
country at the present moment. Common caus
nalities are scarcely glanced at in the newspa
pers. Marriages, interest nobody but the happy
.pair, unless it bo some faint-hearted swain who
realizes the folly of procrastination in allowing
“ that otherfellow” to “ cut him out.” Deaths,
in the natural way, have lost half their impres
siveness. and warning, and the most eloquent
appeals from the pulpit enter- the mind inter
mingled with conjectures as tothe result of the
great expedition by sfea, or the advance upon
Manassas. As to literature, who reads a book
now unless it treat of “broil and battle.”—
“Sensation novels”produce no sensation, and
poetry is not even a “drug in .'the market,” for
drugs are saleable but verses have no buyers.
But no matter; let the rebellion be put down
before we fret over the losses that it occasions.
If we can restore the country to its integrity—
and “the Union mutt and shall be preserved”—
we shall be able to rejoice in a sweeter prosper
ity than we ever knew before.;'
Times in New York are becoming very
hard, if we may judge by the' following adver
tisement in the Tribune:
TT7" A N T E D.---A SITUATION AS
V T SOK-IN-LAW iu solnc- respectable family. N'oob
jactions to going a abort distance into the country. For
references and particulars, address:' FRANK STUART,
Post Office, Williamsburg, New York.
Mr. Stuart should have stated whether he
could or could not endure the averageboarding
bouse coffee, and whether he can relish molas- ;
sesonhisslapjacks. These are > important points, j
the previous settling of which might prevent |
numerous differences of . opinions and tastes in |
after time, that result in watery eyes and pout
ing lips, or a “big scold,” on ;cne side, and the
staying oat late o’ nights on the other. But
Frank wisely contents himself with the above
notice at this time, evidently having a stronger
desire to be snugly ensconsed as somebody’s son
in-law, daring the coming winter, than to go
into stipulations as to rations.' It is a bad time
to undertake to dictate terms, especially when
one is hard up for a winter’s boarding. Many
a sprightly and interesting, though dilapidated
young gentleman in this locality would gladly
take the position sought - by Frank, if sure of
the usual allowance, without being over fastidi
ous as to the quality of the molasses.
Another Addition.— We ; learn that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has effected a
lease of the East Brandywine and Waynesburg
Railroad for a period of five years. The latter
road runs from the village of DoWningtown to
Waynesburg, in Chester county, and its length
is seventeen miles and a half. It traverses a
thickly settled region of immense resources, and
its cost has been estimated at $13,000 per mile
—only about $lB,OOO of the aggregate being
unpaid by the company on the account for- con
struction; lands, and right of way, The terms
of,the lease secure the application of the whole
of the net earnings to the payment of the inter
est on tho $l-10,000 of seven per cent, mort
gage bonds issued by. the Brandywine Company,
first, and the balance to. the stockholders of the
latter Company.
Knit Mittens for tub Souueks. —An officer i
from West Point, now in command qf a regiment, I
suggests that woolen mittens for the soldiers i
■will be greatly needed when the Cold weather i
sets in. Will not all who can employ themselves ,
in this way help to furnish five hundred thou- |
sand pair. They should be knit with onqfinger i
to allow the free use of=the first dr trigger fin
ger. It is said there were :nu>re soldiers disa- ]
bled in the Crimean war from frost-bitten fin
gers than from any other cause. Lady.reader,
, have you not a father, husband, grottier, son,
; nephew,, cousin, or particular friend who, while
i you are seated at a warm stove doing nothing,
j may be bearing his nutaket in his bare hands
| and suffering severely from tbc piercing cold
while on drill or the march? Then go to work
and knit him one or two pairs of mittens.
giga- We notice that the Blair County Whig is i
published in Hollidaysburg and Altoona. As j
yet wo hive not been able to discover the loca- j
tion of the office in this place, and are inclined
to tho opinion that tho Altoona branch has
about as much existence in fact ns the oil wells
at £1 Dorado Station. If Hollidaysburg is not
sufficiently respectable to entitle her to the ex
clusive claim of such an extensive paper, or not
strong enough to bear the weight of the concern,
we think the publishers should first have called
Qaysporl and Duncansvilbe to their assistance,
and then, if more help was required, they might
have levied a on Chimney Kocks,
and not attempted to take such a long stride at
the outset.
Jack Fbost, Esq.— This distinguished per
sonage has become a permanent resident of
this neck 0’ woods for some time past and his
presence is unmistakably manifest. His breath
is the sirocco and bis touch death to vegetation,
and already have the trees become almost total
ly denuded of their gorgeous livery. Well, wc
suppose wc will have to put up with all this
sort of thing, consoling ourselves withthe re
i flection that Winter after all is a "handy thing
to have about a house in tbe country;” ala
motle it Sparrowgrasg. We sincerely hope our
readers may be able ;to, weather the weather
-until Spring, whether it proves a big blast or a
little one.
Sextekced. —Lucy Robeson, the colored wo
man who.plead guilty, nt the Into Sessions to
the concealment of her illegitimate child, was
sentenced by Judge Taylor, on Friday last, to
one year’s confinement in the penitentiary. She
was taken to Allegheny city on Tuesday, by
Sheriff Funk. -
Nkwspapzb Debts. —A cotomporary says
that newspaper subscriptions are infallible tests
of men's honesty. They will, sooner or later,
discover the man. If he is dishonest, he will
cheat the printer some way—say he has paid
what he has not—declares he has a receipt
somewhere—or sent money and it was lost in
the mail—or will take the paper and not pay
for it, on the grounds that he did not subscribe
for it—or will move off leaving it coming to the
office be left. Thousands of professed Chris
tians are dishonest in this particular at least,
and the printer's books and half kept families
will tell fearful tales in the final Judgment
J 8&" We are pleased to note that notwithstan
ding the cry of “hard times,” our neighbor of
the ston<fard:faas been able to dress up the read
ing department of his paper in a suit of new
type, causing it to present the “ gay and incom
parable” appearance which be claims for it.—
We should like to follow suit, or lead tramps,
did we hold the right kind of a hand, but un
fortunately we are played out at present. Our
dress looks a little ragged to our eyes, but we
must patch it up for the winter, hoping that a
“fat take” will speedily fall to our lot end en
able us to appear as the leader of the “bon ton”
next spring.
Vegetable Cuiuoarrr. —The Harrisburg Pa
triot and Union notices a vegetable curiosity
raised in this county and taken to that place by
the Sutler at Camp Curtin. It is a large sized
head of cabbage, underneath which, upon the
same stalk, there are fourteen beads of various
sizes, weighing from eight ounces to a pound
all of them solid, and in good condition for culi
nary purposes. This head most be a cousin, or
a near relation, of the one left in our office, a
short time since, by bur friend Metzgar. Little
Blair grows vegetable curiosities, pretty girls,
pare patriots, and fat babies.
Jgy The Tyrone and Clearfield Railroad is
graded from Tyrone to Pbillipsburg, a distance
of 23 miles- The track is completed 12 miles
out from Tyrone, and will be finished to Phil
lipsbnrg by the Ist of January. The comple
tion of this road will be a great convenience to
the people of Clearfield, but they should not al
low it to terminate at Phillipsburg. . It wbuld
undoubtedly pay to push it o.n at least 15 or 20
miles further, and we hope to hear of its being
done at an early day.
The Head-Quabtebb.— Messrs. Geis & Plitt
have established the head-quarters for cheap ;
goods, in Altoona, at Ickes’ old stand, corner of j
Branch and Annie Streets, East Altoona. They !
have just opened perhaps the largest stock of
goods ever brought to the town, and as they sell
for cash, only, they are enabled to sellunusually
low—good payers not being taxed a percentage
on their purchases to make up forbad payers.
See their advertisement in another column.
Scaece or Conscience, —It has been said that
“corporations are soulless,” and we verily be
lieve it, else the Altoona and Hollidaysburg
Plank Road Co. would not have the face to ask
eight cents toll for a drive, with a horse and bug- :
gy, over snob a miserable excuse for a road.—
Not two-thirds of the road is fit to drive on, and
part of that is dangerous. If the Company
would remove the plank entirely it would be an
improvement.,
Bumped Ilia Head. —Will Jackscn, engineer
on the Local Freight train between this place
and Mifflin, was severely injured by a cut in the
head, received while passing the water-station
at Huntingdon, on last Friday week. He was
looking out and his, head came in contact with
the building.
Chaxqe of Time. —By reference to the Mail
and Railroad Schedule, iu another column, it
will bo, seen that the time of departure of the
Mails and Trains have been materially changed.
Note this, reader, if you do not already know it,
or you may find yourself, or your letters, a lit
tle too late for the Trains or Mails.
Accident. —A miner named John Murray,
engaged in the coal mines of J. M. Cooper &
Co., had both his collar bones broken and was
otherwise injured, by the falling upon him of a
mass of coal, on Monday of last week. His in
juries were attended to by Dr. Leisenring, and
he is rapidly recovering. ■<— Standard.
sar A few evenings since, Mr. J. K. Bell
man, of ; this place, exhibited to us a monster
pippin apple, which measured 15 inches in cir
cumferejiice and fryighod lib soz. Itwas grown
in Indiana State.

mSE’S SAXATIVE PILLS,
A MILD, PROMPT & EFFECTIVE REMEDY,
rjIHERE is scarcely any disease in which
M \ purgative medicine* afnntt required; and much
ftektaW and suffering raigtebwpfevenud were they more
Sneraily used. No person CBt ftel well while a costive
hit of body prevails; betfttk> tt eoon generates serious
ami often fetal diseases, which eight be avoided by the
tiaely and judicious use of proper Cathartic medicines.
. Convinced df tha Currcctndeaof these view*,
JAYNE'S SANATIVE FILM
Are recommended with the greatest confidence, experience
having demonstratedibeu to be far superior to any other
in use, being more mild, prompt, safe and uniform In their
operation. While using them no' particular care is re
quired, and patients may eat and drink as usual. Age will
not impair them, aa to always readily dissolve in the stom
ach. In small doses they are alterative and gently laxa
tive, but iu large doses are actively cathartic, cleansing the
whole alimentary canal from all putrid, irritating and fecal
matters.
For DYSPEPSIA, these Pills are really an invaluable
article, gradually changing the vitiated' secretions of the
Stomach and Liver, ana producing healthy action in thor«
important organs.. In cases of long standing, a cure will
bo more speedily effected by p&lng, iu conjunction with the
Pills, cither JAYNK’S AtWiBATIYE or TOMC TEH-
JUFUGE, according to direction*.
For Liver Complaint, Qont,’Jaundice, Affections Of the
Bladdcr.and Kidneys, Fevers, Nervousness, DWeases of the
Skin, Impurity of the Blood, Slk Headache, Costivrno*.
Files, Female Diseases, and Kiilious AfVcctiuus, these PiiN.
have proved themselves eminently successful. All that 1*
asked for them is a fair trial.
As those Pills have proved themselves so cminetly sue-
cessful in removing diseases of the Liver, Dyspepsia and
diseases of the Skin,! have thought it advisable to add the
following remarks ou
LIVER COMPLAINT.
This U a diieqse aauch talked about, bat at the same
time very imperfectly understood.
Properly speaking, every derangement of ijhe Liver or
Billions system is a Liver Complaint, but the peculiar state
of the Liver to which I now have reference is a CAromc
AJf£ction y and usually arises from a torpid or congestive
state of that important organ. Sometimes tbo bile is de*
ticient in quantity, or vitiated in quality, or Loth these
states prevail at the same time. .Sometimes the disease i*
owing to obstruction in the duet or pipe which conveys
the bile from the-liver into the bowels, This obstruction
is very frequent, and is usually caused by the pipe being
clogged up by thick tenacious slime or mucous, and some
times by gall stones. The bilo is then thrown back into
the gull-bladder, where it is absorbed by numerous small
vessels which convoy it into the Thoracic Duct, a plpb
that runs up along the spine, ami terminates in r.nd emp
ties itself into tho large vein of the loft shoulder, near its
Junction with tho veins of the bead and neck, and thenco
the bile is conveyed to the heart and becomes mixed with
tho blood. The bile in this manner being diverted from
its proper course, and circulating in a part body
where it never was designed by nature, products much evil,
and often disastrous effects upon thn health of the indi
vidual—because, for want of healthy bile to mix with the
half-digested food, a complete separation never takes place
between the xhyle (the milky liquor which forms tho
blood) and those portions of the food designed jjy nature
to be’ejected from tho bowels—for tho bile, when present,
purifies and separates the healthy fr m thc\ unhealthy por
tions, iu tho same manner that isinglass or white of eggs
separate wine or cider from their impurities-—and, conse
quently, the very fountain of life is vitiated and corrupted.
Coatlveness prevails—or alternately co&tivrncvs or diar
rhoea—wind in the stomach and bowels, and the patient ii
often annoyed with worms, and frequently with the piles.
Tho coarse particles of the bile thus mixed with tho blood,
more or less obstruct the pores of the skin and small blood
vessels, and hence give rise to various diseases of the skin,
such as erysipelas, eczema, itchiugs, small watery vessels,
blotchess tumors, pimples, ecurliness, boils, sore eyes, sores
and ulcers of various kinds. The skin is more or lees
yellow, and (when the disease is of long standing,) often
very dark, and has h disagreeable, dirty, rjrtasy appearance.
; and sometimes there Is a perfect jaundice. The white oi
I the eyes also has a gseen or ydloxo tingo.
MOKE OK LESS bile is strained from tho blood in its
passage through the kidneys, and, by ite acrimony, pro
duces pains in the back, and scalds and irritates all tbn
urinary passages. Some days the passage of urine is pro
fuse,ami natural in appearance; at otbor times it is scanty \
ami the desire to evacuate Is frequent and urgent. . Some
times the color is nearly white and milky, but usually it is
high colored, red or yellow, with a rank, offensive odor,
and sometimes it is bloody.
The tongue is usually more or loss canted with a browu
scurft ;TUere is irritation, and frequently ebrouio inflam
mation of -the inner surface of the stomach and bowels,
with'a tenderness on pressure, and a soreness along the
lower edge of the ribs.
SOMETIMES THERE IS A LOATHING of food, and ut
other times there is a voracious appetite. There is often k
feeling of chilliness, and coldness of the feet and knees,
and along the inside of the thighs—sour or biifer eructa
tions, and sometimes a spitting or throwing up of the food
after eating.
There is a feeling of oppression across the stomach and
chest, os if pressed down by a weight; troublesome and
often frightful dreams, low spirits, languor, want of ener
gy, melancholy restlessness and discontcutedncss, dreami
ness of mind—timorousness and a great deal of trouble,
and a disposition to magnify everything, sometimes great
watchfullnesa and m inability to sleep—at others great
drowsiness, weariness, and disinclination to motion.
AT TIMES THE FACE Is flushed, with more or les*
fever, especially at night or in the afternoon. Sometimes
violent colics, and wandering pains in various parts of tho
bcMly. Frequently there is a snort hacking cough, with a
hnskinesa of tho throat,and sometimes a very severe, dry,
and hard cough, which is often mistaken for consumption.
This cough often commences in tho latter part of the night
or early in the morning, and lasts for hours, frequently
producing nausea ami vomiting. If there be any expecto
ration, it is a tough, ropy, tenacious ( phlegm, which ad
heres to everything it touches. There are also frequently
chronic pleurisy pains in various parts of tho chest, which
shift about from one part of tho breast or side to the other.
Sometimes abscesses form in the tfver, and pressing up
ward on tho lungs, produce constriction and cough,
breaking, discharge-their contents into tho lungs, whence*
It must bo ejected by expectoration, or the patient is de
stroyed. Some persons am troubled with spasmodic
twitches in various parts of the body, sometimes faintness
and sighing, difficulty of breathing: reading or talking
producing weariness. THERE IS A BEATING SENSA
TION near the pit of the stomach, with palpitation and
fluttering of tho heart; profusion of dandruff and loss of
the hair; indeed, to sum up in a few words—a yellow,
dirty, greasy appearance of the skin, a yellow *or green
tinge of the white of tho eyes, an aching pain across tho
kidneys and hips, with irritation or heat in discharging
urine—a sensation of fullness or distension across the ab
domen. with tenderness on pressure—lowness of spirits,
frightful dreams, acidity of stomach, with other dyspeptic
symptoms, billions fevers, billions colics and bilious diar
rhoea and dysenteries, obstinate costiveness, intermittent
and remittent fevers, jaundice, fever and* ague; Ac., all
originate from th« same cause —a deranged state of tin
liver. Violent remedies always do more barm than good;
but. by a persevering use of these pills, all that can be
derived will be accomplished.
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT is to give tho
patient,.every night on going to bed. from two four Sana
tive pills; or enough of them to insure one and not morn
than two evacuations from the bowels next morning.—
The dose of the Pills can be increased or diminished at
pleasure, so as to produce tho above effect, and their use
should be continued until a cum is completed; and also,
at the same time giro the Alterative tnree rimes a d»y
according to the directions, unless there la a want of appe
tite, with weakness and debility or symptoms of worms
prevail, wheu, instead of the Alterative, give a foaspoooful
of tho Vermifuge, (mixed in a little cold water and sweet
ened to please the taste, about half an hour before each
meal, until these symptoms are removed; and !f thero
should bo cough, or oppression about the throat or chest,
then give the expectorant as often and in such doses as
may be found necessary to quiet tho cough and make ex
pectoration easy;

JAYNE’S EXPECTORANT
Has been for Thirty Years the
Standard Remedy.
RECENT COUGHS AND COLDS. PLEURITIC PAINS.
ETC., arc quickly and effectually cured by Its diaphoretic,
soothing and expectorant power.
ASTHMA it always cores. It overcomes the spasmodic
contraction of the alr-ve*scla, and by producing free ex
pectoration at once removes all difficulty of breathing.
. BRONCHITIS readily yields to the Expectorant. It
subdues the Inflammation which extends through the
wind-tuba, produces® free expectoration, add suppresses at
onco the cough ahd pain.
CONSUMPTION —For this insidious and fht&l diseias
no on earth has ever been found so effectual, it
subdues the inflammation, relieves Hie cough and pain,
removes the difficulty of breathing, and produces an easv
expectoration, xrherohy all irritatingana obstructing mat'
ten are rmbvett from the longs. ;
WUQOPING COUGH Is promptly relieved by tlu» Ex
pectorant. It shortens the duration of the disease one
half, and greatly mitigates th(f suffering of the patient.
