£tld jhpuifiV— f° *bioh we are inilebted for
aMj a good thing—makes the following sug
—jtiong in regard to fill and winter amnss
pfßts, which wo muko uso of for the benefit of
ggr »ma»ement loving readers. The people of
tbe Northern States are not going to forego their
cold weather amusements the coming gea-
<fflj on gccooat of the war, and even if such a
thing were possible, it would not by any means
- be desirable. Thoaewho labor physically or
mentally, wQI need their usual relaxation and
Ktreation as much as over, and sorely we are
00 t yet so mueh reduced by the war that our
niaa! amusement most bo deemed ill-timed or
in bad taste. But at the same time it would be
sell'if the balla anl parties snd sleigh rides
■sight be merged in some other form of amuse
ment, which would be equally pleasant, and at
the same time bare a patriotic intent, to furnish
our soldiers with clothing and other needful ar
ticles. This double object might be obtained by
the -introduction of social meetings, “sociables,"
Into eveiy Tillage or every school district; where
young and old might come together and work
for the soldiers and hare a. social time. A ae
ries of such meetings, held every one or two
weeks during the winter; would be productive
of much good to the brave fellows who are fight
ing our battles for os, and would be the source
of much nation*! enjoyment besides. Such so
ciables might be started in any village if some
patriotically inclined individual would" take hold
of the matter, and if balla and such costly amuse
ments could be dispensed with this winter, and
all classes devote their surplus funds to the good
of the soldiers, and at the same time have all
their customary enjoyment by carrying into ef
fect some plan like the above, it would be acon
summation vary much to be desired.
Tub Caxal.— Some time ago petitions were
numerous); signed by the citizens along the
am) to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
calling their attention to the bad condition of
the canal, eastward to Hollidaysborg, and. re
questing them to place it in good repair The
petitions, we believe, were presented by Judge
' Gardner of Ilollidaysbnrg, and that gentlemen,
i a few days ago, received from Mr. Thompson,
i the President of the Company, the -following
letter, which assures him thal the canal will be
at once rebuilt and placed in thorough ' repair :
Philadelphia, Dcc.'O, 1861.—Dear Sir:—
Your letter of yesterday hovering petitions in
relation to the canal baa been received. Ibe
Engineer and Superintendent of the Company
for the canal department has bod fall instruc
tions upon this subject.
These repairs would have been made during
the past summer, but for the desire expressed
by the most influential citizens along the line of
the Canal that a Railroad should be substituted
for the canal, in which project we wonld have
co-operated and furnished means to the extent
of the iron, chairs and spikes. As this has
fallen through, orders have been given to pro
ceed with the repairs and rebuilding of the canal.
1 Yours Truly,
Annie street, in this place, is looking up.
At the North-vest end is the Reservoir of the
Altoona Gas and Water Company, At the
Sooth-eastern end is the Catholic Cemetery.
At different points along the street are hand
some buildings, first-class stores and important
offices, such as the General Superintendent and
Resident Offices, telegraph Office,
Post Office, Tribune Office, etc., Ole.; and just
above Branch street, East Altoona, is n store
Which fairly rivals, if it does not eclipse, the
majority o! fancy stores on Chestnut street,
Philadelphia. We refer to the establishment of
oar yoang friend, J. £. lekes. He has fitted up.
decidedly the handsomest variety store that can
be found in the country, and he has filled it
with an assortment of articles (tom which all
persons who enter it select some article they
need. He has just received a beautiful stock
of candies, nuts, fruit and notions, which will
make the eyes Of the juveniles dance like sun-
a ripply brook. Go, all ye who read
this notice, and get a sight of the handsome
store. It is worth Rooking at,"but dont fail to
buy something for the children.
Dutimcisbed Passes ores. —On Saturday
morning week, the Mail Train East had on
board two men whose names have been indeli
bly impressed upon the minds of all newspaper
readers, by the part they have taken and the
acts they have performed in the rebellion in
Missouri. We refer to Col. Mulligan, the hero
-of Lexington, and Major Zagoni, commander
of Fremont's body-guard, who made the terrific
charge upon the rebels at Springfield, and scat
tered them in' all directions. Col? Mulligan is
rather young looking, for bis age, and is spare
built, but be wears an expression of counte
nance whisk plainly bids defiance to danger,
and tells you he isjust what he has proved him
self to be—a hero. Mpjor Zagonyi is appa
rently about middle aged, rather Short of eta
tore, but heavy bnilt, and looks altogether tike
aeoUkr. "

J. Edgar Thomson.
Mr The editors of the FMy profeas not to
understand why we should have defended the
clerk in the Altoona Post OSes, from the attack
made upon him by them. Certainly there was
noth lag mysterious about that. Wa deemed
him unjustly assailed, and con*id*q»d that he
was: entitled to the use of a weapon similar to
Cut *f hia assailants. In onr tumarks upon
loyalty we did riot say that- we knew “others
(besides the clerk,) who ought to leave.” W*
simply said there waa “as much reason to tw
peet the loyalty of others as. those who attend
the Altoona Post Office.” None of your gar
bling, gentlemen. Quote correctly, or not at
all. As the editors of the Whig wish us to say
who we meant by “others,” we will aay that
we meant them. Now don’t get. in a finny, and
send wa a challenge before we have time to;,j
qualify that assertion. Allow ua to say that we
do not suspect the loyalty of any one connected
with either the Altoona Post Office or the HolU
daysbarg Whig office, but that we would just as
soon suspect the latter as the former. We are
••intimate enough” with the parties to thus pub
lish their callings, if not their names. We don't
talk with authority—only from information fully
as reliable as the charges to which we alluded.
The Tribune IB one of the owners of the Altoo
na Post Office, but has po larger share in it
than any other business establishment in toe
town. Whatever belongs to Uncle Sam belongs
partly to the Tribune , and we try tjk take care:
of our Uncle’s interests and our own at the'
same time.' It requires a violent twisting of
language to construe four remarks into a threat
of farther “ wrong” to the Whig. The editors
of that paper are evidently endeavoring to make
martyrs of themselves, to crestc sympathy. It
won't work, gentlemen; people understand £hg- i
Ush now a days. The “ pet clerk” has been in
the office under three administrations, and will
most likely remain as tong as be wishes to. He
may not picas* everybody, but we would like to
sees man in his position who could.
\iao is She? —There is a letter in the Post
Office in this place, addressed to the prettiest
lady in Altoona. Now the question is, who is
the “prettiest lady in Altoona?*’ We have
beard it suggested, in similar cases, that the
ladieq meet together and decide who shall lift
the letter, bat we would not intimate such a
coarse of procedure in this case, for who ever
heard of a party of ladies admitting that any.
one was prettier than all the rest. Preposterous !
The proper way is to let a party of young gen
tlemen, who are free-from entangling alliances
which might prejudice their judgments, decide
who shall lift this letter. If they should :be
backward, (?) about communicating, in person,
the result of their deliberations to the lady
whom they select, they can inform the P. M.
to hand it to her, and we hope she will be kind
enough to let the printer see it.
Khiskisgle Coming.— Hello I little folks,
open your eyes as big as; dumplings, and look
sharp as you pass Andy Clabangh’s Store on the
corner of Main' and Annie streets, and you will
sec—if not old KHskingle himself—nt least a
great big pile of the good things with which he
fiUf your stockings on Christmas and New Year’s
eve. Maybe “Old Kris” gets bis stock of no
tions at Andy’s; for, certain it is, that he bos a
fine assortment from which to select. For fear
that “Old Kria” might forget you, tell your
pa or ma about the 1 “whole heaps’’ of. candies,
and horses, and dogs, and cats, and elephants,
and picture-books, and other nice things which
Andy has on bis shelves and counter; and if
they love you, as we hope alt your pa’s and ma’s
do, they will not refuse to call at Andy’s and
get you a Christmas gift. Tell them not to for
get Andy’s shop.
Fatal Rah Road Acciorxt. —Michael Bur
goon, a fireman on one of the freight engines
on the Pennsylvania Rail Road, was killed be
tween Cresson and QalUtzen,- on Friday morning
last, under the following circumstances:' He
had descended from the engine to recover a
pick-axe which had accidentally fallen from the
tender ; and while in the act at doing so, the
Fast Lipe West, the approach of which he bad
not noticed, came upon him, the cow-catcher
striking and mutilating him in a shocking man
ner, causing instant death. Not the least sin
gular and painful incident connected with the
sad occurrence is the fact that a. brother of the
unfortunate man was fireman upon the very
engine which caused bis death. Bprgoon was a
married man, and the father of six children.
Pehsowal. —We neglected to notice, in our
last issue, that we were lately the recipients of
a visit from our cotemnporery of the Alleghe
nian, (Ebensburg,) A. A. Barker, Esq. To tell
the truth, he didn’t; appear to us much like A
printer, in stature, but if Cambria raises many
such stoat looking men as he, we don’t wonder
she has turned out so many soldiers for fhe
war. We were happy to. make the acquaintance
of Ur. 8., and to find in him a very agreeable
gentleman. Now that the iron horse has found
his way to the “Mountain Village,” we expect
to call upon him and .our other brethren of the
quill in that “neck d’ timber,” some of these
days.
Sunday School Exhibition. —The children
connected with the African M. E. Cbnroh. in
this place, purpose giving an exhibition in that
chureh, on Monday evening, December 80th,
for the benefit of the cbnroh. The price of
tickets has been placed so low that all can afford
to aid them a little, and those who' attend the
exhibition will undoubtedly get the worth of
their money.
If the boys and girls in and about Al
toona don’t Care well during the Holidays, it
will not be for wont of a fall supply of the
articles with which “Old Kriskingls” fills fbeir
cap* and stockings. Ws are informed that our
friend Peroival, in Inst Altoona, bos laid in a
fall supply of notioaa for the children. Call
and see.

clared a onkugil dividend of fOpr' per eant.
on the capital (took, clear of State tax, paya
ble at th« office of the Treasurer,'on and after
January let, 1862; It seems tb n that stock
in a company which pays eight per eisht the
eecond year of its existence; With a good ptta-
P«et of an increase hereafter, cannot be bought
par in the course of another year. In fact,
many holders will not now sell at par, holding
it a fraction higher. ' Who Said stock in the
Altoona Qas & Water Company Wouldn’t pay?
Be wasn’t a prophet.
J9*Onr neighbor of the Ebensborg AUtght
mon te getting impatient to soe the show which
we long since promised. Now don’t “take on”
so, neighbor; that shew w ill be on exhibition in
less than two weeks, or it will be no fault of
ours. The contractor promised to “come to
time” before the first of January, and if he
docs not we shall be more disappointed than
our readers. We make no “promises to the
ear to be broken to the hope.” When our exhi
bition opens, our friend of the Alleghenian shall
have a free ticket for himself and family.
: S®- Judging from letters we receive from
Post Masters at small offices, -we are not sur
prised that there should be complaints of mis
carried mail matter. A letter lately received
by us was directed as follows:—“To the Pub
lisher of the Alton Tribune.” Neither State or
county was mentioned. A man who spells
post office “poaet office,” is not fit to haveeharge
of such an office. If such offices were given to
good men, father than party favorites, it would
be better for the parly, so doing as well os the
public.
A Dbsebtkr.— A man named William Reigh
ard, who enlisted in the regular United States
service, on the 9th of November last, under
Lieut. J. S. Campbell, recruiting officer at this
place, deserted this (Thursday) morning. Said
Reighard lives at the “ Half-Way House,” on
the road leading from Hollrdayaburg to Bedford,
is 22 years old, 5 feet 8 inches in height, baa
grey eyes and light hair. Recruiting officers
are hereby cautioned not to re-enlist him.
J. S. CAMPBELL,
let Lieut. U. S. A., Recruiting Officer,
Sad learn that on Tues
day night lost a bouse situate in Clearfield
township, Cambria county, near the Blair Co.
line, and not far from the Buckhorn Tavern,
belonging to a family named Cochran, was en
tirely consumed by fire, an 1 the mother, son
and daughter perished in the'flames. Wc do
not know bow the fire originated—the above
being all that we could find out Concerning it.
In the absence or a bountiful supply of
apples and cider with which to make apple
butter, we readily take to molasses as a substi
tute, and a right sweet one it is; nevertheless,
there arc bad qualities, as well as good ones, of
the article. An excellent article, if not the
very best in the market, can be had at J. & J.
Low t her’a. It is the simon pure Levering
Syrup.

Altoo&a High School.
It was our pleasure on Friday last,!to spend
an hour in the Altoona High School, no* nnder
the snperrlaion of Prof. John Miller, Ai M.
Several of the Directors were present on the
occasion, and, together with tbe pupils, were
highly entertained' by the Professor, with an
able and practical lectore on Electricity. After
the lecture, the pupils .were briefly addressed
by James Lowther, Esq., (one of the Directors,)
and S. M. Woodkok, Esq., in complimentary
speeches.
Prof. -Miller is a finished scholar, as well as a
highly reputable disciplinarian; and his practi
cal system of teaching, with his experience and
his knowledge ef the human mind, will most
aarely soon build up a -school, in our town,
equal in discipline and thorough training to
any in tbe State.
The school, certainly, opens with the most
brilliant and encouraging prospects, and, as it
is under the pecuniary control of the School
Directors of the Borough, and their sueeereors,
it bids fair to become a permanent institution.
“The heights of Altoona,“ fanned by the pure
zephyrs, fresh from the summit of the Alle
< gheny, is a most healthy and beautiful Ideation
| for such a school. And as boarding can be
procured, in pr|vate bouses, as reasonable as in
any other. town in the country, parents from a
distance, as well as those in town, should imme
diately embrace this opportunity to educate
i their children, cheaply but thoroughly.
Altoona, Dee. 17th, 1861,
Qdick Tkmpbmd.— A servant girl on leaving
ber place, was asked by her master as to her
reason for leaving. “ADstreu is so quick-tem
pered that I cannot live With her.” Well” said
the gentleman, “ You know it’s no sooner be
gan than it's over.” “ Yes, sir, no sooner over
than begun again.”;
