LOCAL ITEMS. Qlxiuks. —Many persons would like to know why an advance is not made by our army. As we are as much in the dark as our neighbors, we nan throw no light on the Subject. Prcsnming that there is some good reason for delay, known only to the proper officers, we are content to let them manage the affairs and bide oar time to learn. Many persons would really like to know whether we arc to have a brush with England. In reply wc w ould say that wc are about as near it as erer v, e will be until war is actually declared. Wehavc no idea that the surrender of Mason and Slidell wit) be the only demand which England will make, directly or indirectly, therefore we should be pre paring to give her d warm reception., Many persons would like to know why it is that the price of old cotton goods has advanced in the came proportion as that on the same article manu factured sloop the blockade ami consequent scarcity of the mw article. In other words, why it is that a web of muslin worth 13} cts. per yard on Satur day evening is worth 1C els. per yard on Monday morning. Wo confess ourselves in the dark on this subject. Probably some of our merchants can tell. Ask them. Many persons would like to know the cause of so much lightning and thunder at this season of the year. We believe the almanac makers arc mom on the subject. Our opinion is that the same rouses which produce like exhibitions in summer time conspire to produce them at this season of the year. The almanac man most note them hereaf ter, or lose his honor as a prophet . (3* The editors of thc llodiduysburg Whig are pleased to. see the favorable change in anr manner and style of replying to their articles. If they arc satisfied, all is well; although we think they moke a distinction where there is no difference. We arc not disposed to discuss«tlic claims of the “pet clerk,” as they choose to style him, because we don’t consider that he or any one else lias any claims to the position. Mr. Patton bad a icrfect right to retain or discharge him os he thought pro per, and by retaining him “to the exclusion of the young men who expected" his situation, be did not dual unfairly, as no young men had any particular claims on Mr. P.; and besides, if there were many young men who expected it, all but one woqld have been disappointed, os but one clerk is employed, consequently there is but one more excluded than if somebody else hod been taken in. We are sin cere in saying that we would like to sec a man in that position who could please everybody. If “our own Casper” can do it, he most be a ram ans hi terris, and our wonder is that Barnom has nut secured him ere this to exhibit side by side with his mermaid, woolly horse and “ what is it ?” No doubt the editors of the Whig are gratified to get jmctahlg out of this controversy. It was not out intention to cat them this time, although thev appeared to fear it. Call again, ns usual, gentle men. . ' Music and Amusement.—lt really 1 gives us pleasure to announce to our citizens that two en tertainments which we can 'heartily recommend, arc to be given in Logan Hall this (Thursday) evening and Saturday evening. The entertaiu menfs are to be given by the Peak Family, the celebrated Swiss Bed Ringers, whose performances u|sm a set of silver bells not only create wonder but afford a delightful musical treat. The per formances ore so varied that we cannot enumerate all of them, suffice it to say that the entertainments will prove to be the very best ever offered to our citizens, and will come up to the expectations of all. In consequence of the room being small, the manager has consented to give nto exhibitions, in order that till may have on opportunity to hear and see.. The troupe give an entertainment in Ilolli dnysborg on Friday evening. i The Eigiitv-Fockth.—ln another column we publish an interesting letter from Lieut. Isaac Hooper, Company Ij Col. Murray’s «4th Keg. Fa. Vols., from which it will he seen that the boys from Blair county belonging thereto, liave not been idle, and tliat they came verj- nearly getting info a fight place. We have been shown a letter from our young townsman, Robt. Conrad, (a member of the l«uid attached to this regiment) to his mother, which narrates about the same facts, with the ad dition that olur young friend, Lient. Pat. Walsh, in the hastc which had to be made to get out of “ Dixies Land,” was compelled to wade, or swim the river, and in doing so lest his overcoat, but fortunately recovered it the next day, Rithke Changeable.—On Saturday last we had weather in great variety, suited to the wants of the most fastidious. We had sunshine, nun, hail, snow, blow and freeze. We had hard ground, mud, slush and water underfoot, and an evening anything but pleasant for pedestrians. Under or dinary cucumstanccs the readers of daily papers would have permitted the news venders to keep their., papers over night; but not so these days. Notwithstanding the tain was coming down in torrents, the news offices were crowded on the ar rival of the train, and the papers disappeared with their usual rapidity. Serious Accwelkt. —On Tuesday morning last Samuel Jobtton, a. brakesman on one of the freight trains between this place and Harrisburg, was knocked off.the train, in the vicinity of Spruce Creek, by being struck with a stone or some other missile, thrown by an unknown hand. lie Adi under the train and had one of his legs so badly crushed that St had to bo "amputated. If the in tention Of the person throwing the missile was to injnre some one, be was very successful; bat it, as is more than likely,-., it was thrown thoughtlessly, or for amusement, as some boys are in the habit of doing, the one throwing it has undoubtedly received a lesson which will deter him from doing the like again. . “ Johjkt.Sioi* a - Ham.”—So sing the toy* wound town, but we are sure that our friend Ban yan, the botcher, could not have stolen that large pile of hams— 1700 in number—which he received by railroad, die other day, altfaongh.be sells them id a price which would almost induce some people to think he had found than where they were not lost. They are green westers trimmed foct from the Cincinnati daughter houses, of the test quality, and just in prime order for present use, or saldng down, and will he sold alt the low price of k cent* per pound, in aav quantity from one ham upwards. 1 1 1 ReMkdt rote DrapupsiA.-— Journal of Heaiti, which is pretty generally considered good authority, gives the following directions for the cure of that annoying disease, dyspepsia. Some of the prescriptions may be rather inconvenient or unpalatable, bat wo think them all the better for that. The general principles ore applicable to all, and will no doubt prove of great advantage: 1. The entire body should tic washed Once in a wed: with soap, hot water anil a stiff brush. 2. Wear woollen next the skin the year round, daring the daytime only. 3. By means of ripe fruit and berries, coarse food, keep the bowels acting freely once in twenty four hours. 4. Under all circumstances feet, clean and warm. _ 5. It is the most indispensable to hove thb full est plenty of sound,' regular, connected and re freshing sleep, In a clean, light, well-at red cham ber, witli windows facing the sdn. 6. Spend two or three hours; of every forenoon, and one or two of every afternoon, tain or shine, jn the open, air, in some form of interesting, exhil arating and unwearying, exercise. Walking with a cheerful and entertaining companion is the very best. ' 7. Eat at regular tunes, and always slowly. _ 8. That food is best for each which is meet re lished, and is followed by the least, discomfort.— What has benefitted or injured one is no rule for another. This eighth item is Of universal appli cation. I ■ 9. Take but a tcacnpfiibof any kind of drink at one meal, and let that not be hot. * 10. Confine yourself to coarse lirend df corn, rye or wheat—to ri)ie, fresh, perfect fruit and berries in their natural state—and to fresh, lean meats, boiled or roosted, as meat is easier of digestion than vegetables. Milk, gravies, postries, heavy hot, bread, farinas, starches and greasy food in general, aggravate dyspe]»iia'by t their coiistijmting tendencies. 11. It is better to cat at regular times as often as hungry, but so little ns to occasion no discom fort whatever. 12. Constantly aim to divert the mind from the bodily condition, in pleasant wuys-Mhat is half the cure in tuanv cases. ” Bum CocktV.—From ‘the Report of the Audi tor General for the year 1861, we find that Blair county has, directly and indirectly; paid into, and received out of, the State Treasury, during the year, the following amounts: PAID INTO THE TREASURY. Altoona Gas & Water Co., tax on Cotv- potation Stocks, $ jl5 02 Tax on Real and Personal Estate, i 8,117 33 Tavern Licenses, r»88 00 Reta|lers Licenses, 10!) 74 BrokcrsLieeuscs........ 35 30 Distillery and Brewery 135 38 Billiard Room, BowlingSaloonuud Ten -Pin Alley Licenses,... 57 00 Eating House, Beer House and Restau rant Licenses, ;... 95 00 Malitia Tax,.. . 66 37 Millers Tax,....': 13 30 Tax on Writs, Wills, Deeds, etc., 440 0i $9,823 65 RECEIVED OCT OF THE TREASURY.

Adjourned to meet on first Monday evening in February, 1862, at 7j o’clock.—- Extract from the. Minnies. Seed Stamps.—Those of our readers who have friends in Col. Power's 7Cth Reg. Pcnn’a Vols., and arc in corrcspondenf-e'with’ them, will confer a great favor on the soldiers by enclosing a few post age stanqis in their letters, since: stamps ate not to lie laid at present in the region round about Port Royal Inlet. Direct your letters with the name of the soldier, ntid then add “care of Col. Power’s, 70th Reg. Penn’a Vols., Port Royal, S. C.,” and they will be sure to tench the : person to whom they are are sent. If the regiment should lie moved into the interior, or in cither direction along the coast, all mail matter addressed to it will be forwarded after it. Anonymous Lltteus.— We do wish that every body “and the rest of mankind” could become ac quainted with the fact that We do not publish anonymous communications, not matter wftat their merit. For this reason the communication of a soldier, complaining of the treatment their families receive from the relief committees, has not appeared in our columns. We must ha ve n responsible name to a communication detailing matters about which wo know nothing. If there he any truth in the charges mode by “A Soldier,” he should: not be ashamed to give the printer Ids name. Some of our coteraporaries arc inclined to twit us about that show wo promised some three or four months since. Well, they may laugh now, but our turn will come shortly—fully as soon as they wish it, if not sooner, jealousy, perhaps, jirompted the item of the UoUidaysborg Whig. — The excuse of the manufacturer of our sfiow is, that army work, which could not be delayed, and which we give, precedence, prevented him from fulfilling his contract. Blnf kins of the'lK/uj will find our latch-string out when hp brings Ids crowd. Wonder if he is afraid to come Alone? . Cosceut and Lectcee.— A grand vocal and instrumental concert will be given in St. Mary’s Catholic Choreh, Hast Altoona, this (Thursday) evening, at which time a lecture, embracing several important points, will be delivered by Bev. G. M. Tils, O. S.“B. From the array of musical talent engaged, and the variety and superiority; of, the pieces to bo performed, we have no hesitancy in saying that it will prove a rich treat. The pro ceeds are for tiro benefit of the Church. Tickets 50 cents. Music Lessons.—We request attention to the card of Miss Maria Shoemaker, in another column offeringto give music lessons on the piano-forte qtid, ipetodeoa. Her excellent natural and ac quired ransScal talent, and ready manner of im parting information to others, gives her superior qualifications ns p, teacher. Those wdw platc taking music lessons should call on Miss Shoemaker. 1 Jmy List .tor' January 'form, 1862. Grand Jurors, Bittner William 8., Altoona. Clapper EmontuU, Allegheny. Croft Michael, Taylor.

Left Us. —David Galbraith, who, for a num ber of years, has occupied the position of clerk in the motive power department of the Penn’a B. 8., in this place, has resigned that situation and gone toSaltsbarg, Indiana county, to engage in the mercantile business. During his stay here, his proverbial kindness of disposition and perfectly upright walk won for him the respect and esteem of all who .knew him, and they, with us, while regretting ids departure, will wish him abundant success in his new enterprise. Who are the Conspirators?—The Holli daysbutg Whig says that “the merchants of Al toona seem to be conspiring together, by selling good calico at 10 and XI cents per yard, to take oU the cash customers from HdUdaysborg.” Who arc the conspirators ? The people of Altoona would be pleased to know their whereabouts, in order that they may stand an equal chance with the cash cus tomers from HoUidaysburg. SPECIAL NOTICES. MniTAXT Uxuormb. —There is, perhaps, no department of military business in which there has been a more marked improvement than in the clothing of soldiers,— Not many years since, officers and privates were clad in garments which were almost skin-tight. They wore leather stocks, which wore worthy of the name, for they kept the wearer in tribulation; while their padded breasts and tight sleeves made volition a matter of great difficulty. During the present war, such of our volunteers as pro cure their uniforms at the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rockhill A Wilson, Nos. 003 and hO5 Chestnut street above Sixth, Philadelphia, obtain clothing that is perfectly easy, Substantial: and becoming. The firm named hire gone largely into the business of making Military Clothing, and their facilities enable them to fill the largest orders in the shortest possible time. A Card, to the Suffering. The Rev. Wm. Cosgrove, while laboring as a missionary lu Japan, was cured of Consumption, when all othermcaas had failed, by a recipe obtained from a learned physician residing in the great city of Jeddo. This recipe has cured groat numbers who were suffering from Consumption, Bronchitis, Sore Throat, Couglis and Colds, and the debility and nervous depression caused by these disorders. Desirous of benefitting others, I will send this recipe, which 1 brought home with me, to all who need It, free of charge. Address KEY. WM. COBOROVB. 439, Fulton Avcnno, Brooklyn, N.T.

All that la asked tor them Isa teir trial. As these Pills have proved themselves to Cmlhetlv afee* cessfhl In removing diseases of tiie titer. Dyspepsia sad diseases of the Bkm,l bate thought It advisable toaddtbe following remarks on 7 LIVER COMPLAINT, This toa disease much talked about,but at ihe «tto* time Very imperfectly uudenstood. Properly speaking, every derangement of the Liver of Billions system is a User Complaint* but the peculiar stale of the Liver to whkn I ho# hate reference is a Ckrtoi Sl . and usually arises from a torpid or congestive suite of that important organ. Sometimes the bllo is de ficient in quantity* or Vitiated in quality, or both these y states prevail at the samo time. Svhciinfta the dbease la owing to obstruction in the duct or pipe Which cdbreys the bile from the liver Into the bowels .This outrank* is very frequent, and Is usually caused by the. pike being clogged up by thick tenacious slime or mucofis, and some times by gall-stones. The bile Is then thro feu bach into tho gall-bladder, where It is absorbed by numerous small vessels which convey it -into the Thoracic Duct, a pipe that runs up along toe spine, and terminates In and emp» ties itself Into the large veiu of the left shoulder, near its juuctim with the veins of the head and seek, and thence the bile is conveyed to the heart and becomes mixed with the blood. Tho bile in this manner being diverted from its proper course, and circulating In a part of the body whore it never was designed by nature, produces much evil, and often disastrous effects upon tho health of the Indl vidoal—because, for want of healthy bile to mix with tb® halfdigested food, a complete separation never taxes plat* between the chyle (the milky liqnor which forms the blood) add those portions of the food designed by nature to be ejected from the bowels—for the bile, when present, purifies and separates the healthy from the unhealthy por tions, in the came manner that isinglass or white of eggs separate wine or cider from their imparitlc»-*ad, conse quently, the very fountain of lift; is vitiated and corrupted. Costiveness prevails—or alternately costlvcncss or diar rhoea—wind in the stomach and bowels, and the patient is often annoyed with worms, and frequently with the piles. The coarse particles of the bile thus mixed with the blood, more or less obstruct the pores of the skin and matt blood* vessels, and hence giro rise to varioOs dW&Bes of the akin, such as erysipelas, cozemo, itdhlugv, small watery vessels, blotcbess tumors, pimples, scurfibcss, bulls, sore eyes, sores and ulcers of various kinds. Tim,-skin is more or less yellow, and (when the disease is of .tdflg standing,) often very dark, and has a disagreeable, dirty, dftdijr appearance, and sometimes there is a perfect jaundice. The dJMi of 5 e eyes also has a preen or yellow tinge. MOBS OR LESS bile Is strained from {he tlbod lb its passage through the kidneys, and, by its. Acrimony, pro duces pains in the bock, and scalds and Ifri tales all the urinary passages. Some days the passage bf brine is pttW fuse,and natural In appearance; ot other tlbiefl Il ls sfiahty, and tbs dtoire to evacuate Is frequent and urgent. SptM times thecoloE Is neaslywhite and milky, but ai unify Ills high colored, red or yellow, with a rank, offcaafve odor and sometimes it Is bloody. The tongue is usually more or leas cuated witb a brown scurf. There Is irritation, and frequently chronic Inflam mation of the Inner surface of the stomach and bowels, with a tenderness on. pressure, and a aorpnesa along the - lover edge of the ribs.- SOMETIMES THERE 18 A LOATHING of food, and at other times there is a voracious appetite. There is often a feeling of chilliness, and coldness of Iba feet and kneea, and along the Inside of the thighs- sour or Miter eructa tions, and sometimes a spitting or throwing up of tfas food aftereating. Thera la a feeling of oppression across the stomach and chest, as if pressed down by a weight; troublesome and often frightful dreams, low spirits, languor, want of ener gy, melancholy restlessness and discon tentedness, dream I ness of mind—timorousness and a great deal of trouble, and a disposition to- magnify everything, sometimes gnat watchftillness and an inability to sleep—at others great drowsiness, weariness, and disinclination to motiofi. AT TIMES THE FACE la flushed, with more or leaf fever, especially at night or in the afternoon. Sometipes violent colics, and wanderigg pains in various part* of the body. Frequently tliere is a short backing eotgh,wfli fl hnaxlness of the throat, and sometimes a Very seven, dry/ and hard cough, which is often mistaken fbrconsußipUofr« This cough often commences In the latter part of thetifelf or rarlyln the morning, and lasts tor hours, frequently producing nausea aiid vomiting. If there be any expect** ration, it Is a tough, ropy, tenacious phlegrt, which a4* herra to everything it touches. There arc also frequently chronic .pleurisy pains in various ports of the Chest, whiter shift about from one part of the breast or Side to the other.- Sometimes abscesses form in the pressing up 4 -* ward on the lungs, produce constriction , and cough, and breaking, discharge their contents idto the lubgt, whtttsr it must be qfectoa by expectoration, or the patient ti strayed. ‘Some iieraons ‘arc troubled - with spasmodic, twitches in various parts of the body, sometimes felntness and sighing, difficulty of breathing \ reading or producing weariness.
