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. ”

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

Death of Wm. Bckeet, Esq. —This gentle
man, one of the Directors of the Poor of this
county, died at his residence in Tyrone, oh Tues
day of last week. It was the day of the regular
meeting of the Board, and the other members of
it were present at the place of meeting, awaiting
his arrival, when the hews came that he Was d&td.
Thanks.— Our carrier desires ns to thank those
of hie patrons who generously contributed - their
mite to fiH hb pnr» o* New Tear's. To these'
who gifve him the cold shoulder He wishes a change
of heart ere another New Year's day rolls around.
SworO PhbBEßTation.“Col. Wm. G. Mur
ray, of the 84th Pennsylvania BeghoMnt Was made
the recipient of a handsome sword-and belt a few
evenings since, the gift of the officers of bis Regi
ment, os a token of their esteem for his military
as weU as many good social qualities. The pre
sentation ceremonies took place in the jewelry
store of Wm- Brody, on Market street, Harris
burg, and arc said to have been decidedly inter
esting. The foUowing inscription is engraved
upon the scabbard of the sword“ Presented to
Col. Wm. 6; Murray, by the officers of of die
64th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, as a
testimonial of their confidence and esteem. De
cember 25, 1861."
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

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. THERE 18 A BEATING &XK&A
TION near the pit of the stomach, WH& palpitation and
fluttering of the heart; profusion-of dandruff and loss Of
the hair; indeed, to sum up In a few words—* yello#/
dirty, greasy appearance of the skin, a yellow or greeff

kidneys and hips, with irritation or Mt iff
