Death of Caft. P. T. Keys.—Shortly after
the battle of Pittsburg we were pained to
learn that our late townsman,' Capt.P. T.
of the Regular Army, had been badly wounded.—
He was removed, as soon as possible, from the
scene of conflict to the hospital at Evansville, Indl,
where he recived every medical attention. But
the fatal wound had been given, medical aid was
of no avail, and on Saturday night lost, the spirit
nf another generous, noble and brave representa
tive of “little Blair” passed into that undiscovered
counyy. to which all are journeying, a iqprtyr to
the cause of right and justice, whose blood cries
from the gory field of Shiloh for vengeance upon
the heads of those who inaugurated this fratricidal
conflict.
Martial life was Keys' delight, and on the out
break of the rebellion be endeavored to get up a
company for the war, bat partially foiling in this,
and being determined to do something for his
couutiy, he secured a lieutenancy in the 16th Infan
try U.5.,A., his regiment rendezvousing at Chir
cago. Previous to going into active service he
was promoted to the office of junior captain.—
The regiment was gnickly filled up and marched
with Gen. Holleck’s army through Kentucky and
Tennessee, and participated in the fight at Pitts
burg Landing, where he;receh cd his death wound.
Rcjiorl says, that no braver officer than Capti
Kevs unsheathed his swordin that terrible conflict:
* <• *i
and 1$ believe it. Fear entered not ini 11 lilii Hm'
position. Blair county tyts furnished her full shore
of victims, in officers and privates, to the cause of
die Union. They willingly gave their lives to sus
tain the best form of government the world ever
saw, and their memories will be cherished. Peace
to their ashes.
P■ S.—The remains of Capt. Keys arrived on
the Mail Train this (Thursday) morning, and now
lie in state in Logan Hall, which was neatly fitted
up by Messrs. Elmer E. Epler, Geo. London and
others, to receive them. : A neat canopy is erec
ted in die centre of the room, decorated with small
flags, nicely craped, on either side of which hung
the photographs! of Gen. McClellan and Col. Win.
(i. Murray, and at the head the photograph of the
deceased, all craped. The coffin (metalic) con
taining the remains is covered with an American
flag, over which is crosseel the swnpl and scabbard
of the deceased. On the coffin is*,a silver plate
containing the following inscription j
, _ Ct-e—.. . ~T. Keys,
■l6th Infantry, C. S. A.,
Died May 3rd, 1862:
Aged 26 years, G months.
At the head of the‘coffin stand three drums, one
on the other, in pyramidal style. The walls of the
room are decorated with large likenesses of Gens,.
Washington and Scott, and small photographs of
(Jen. Thomas Francis Meagher, sol. Corcoran
and others, and with flags, wreaths and rosett*
trimmed with evergreens and crape.
Capt Keys was severely wounded; by a Minnie
hall, hi the right arm, near the shoulder, from the
rffecfs.of which he died, after amputation had
Wen performed. In appearance he looks stout
and hearty, and it is sickening to think that one
who promised so fairly, in the prime of life, shonld
he thus early called from the stage of action, a
victim of the vile conspirators of this nnholy re
bellion They will’yet reap the “deepdamnation,
of his taking off.” , He leaves a wife, and one
child to mourn the loss of an affectionate hus
band, kind father, and brave soldier.
His remains will be interred in the Catholic
Cemetery, at this.place, this afternoon, at 5 o’clock.
The funeral procession will move from Logan Hall
at 2 o’clock, and proceed to the Catholic Church,
"here the usual funeral ceremonies of that de
nomination will be performed.

toona Gas and Water Company, was held on MoUt

Stabtlisg Events.— The last few days have
; been really prolific in strange and snrprising events,
i that will form an interesting epoch in the history
:of the times and country. First, we have the snr
i tender and subsequent occupation by onr troops of
tile city of New Orleans; then come, in quick
j soccession, the taking of featon Rouge, the cap
j tnrc, after a short bnt effective struggle, of Fort
| Macon, the retreat of Gen. Beauregard’s army
! from Corinth, the advance into the enemy’s coun
i tty of Gen. Halleck, the capture of three of the
: enemy’s hugest steamers, die evacuation by the
rebels and the occupation by the Federal troops of
the formidable entrenchments at Yorktown; and
now we have to record the second arrival of an im
mense stock of Spring and Summer Goods at
Murphy & McPike’s Cheap Store, carter of Vir
ginia and. Caroline streets, where almost every
thing imaginable in the way of Dry Goods, Fancy I
Goods, Groceries, Provisions, &c., have just been I
received in immense profusion, and are now offered '
at the most appalling low prices. The stock is, in |
fact, large, fresh and complete, and the proprietors ;
are determined not to be undersold by any similar |
establishment in Altoona, come they under the
gnise of “Models,” “Panics,” or whatever other,
shape they may see fit to ossnme. So bear this in
mind, buyers, all, and your purees will suffer the i
less for it.
Agency.—Andrew Claliaugh of this place has
been appointed agent for the sale of Pareoai
Brownlow’s Book, now being published by Mr. '
Childs of Philadelphia. The book will contain
about 400 pages and will be sold at $1.25 per
copy. It will be ready for delivery about the
middle qf this month. This book will rank among
the wonderful things of the age. It will be a
startling narrative of facts, and will lay hare the
persecutions and cruelty which marked the devel
opment of the secession conspiracy in Tennessee,
the disasfers and ruin with which *it devastated
communities once prosperous and sundered fami
lies once happy, and exposp the reckless ambition,
and relentless blood-thirstiness, by which the ring
leaders of the conspiracy were stimulated to their
work of crime and treason.; Mr. Clabaugh is now
prepared to take subscribers for the book. If you
want an early copy, call on him at once, and give
in vour name.
CV Some ingenious misdeal wag wrote the fol
lowing novel “ catch,” which was set to music in
such a way as to make the audience laugh out
loud. It is quite romantic to read but ludicrous to
hear sung:
“ Ah! how, Sophia, can you leave
Tour lover, and of hope bereave!
Go fetch the Indian’s borrowed plume,
' Yet richer far than that your bloom;
I’m bnt a lodger in yonr'heart,
4 ‘. And more than one’ I tear, have not.”
The music of these linos wus so arranged as to
make one voice cty out: ■ : >’
“A house a^fire 'ifire ! fire!”
. While a second chimed in:
“ Go fetch, the Ingines V fetch theTngines!”
And a third called out;:,
“I’m but a lodger! bqt a lodger!" etc.
The reader will easily see how this ludicrous
pronunciation was produced. It wasqnite as good
as a comedv.
j New Hardware Establishment.—Our en
j terprising townsmen, Messrs. Fries & Winters,
; have added Hardware and Cutlery to their busi
ness, and are now prepared ;to supply the public
with everything in the way of axes, saws, angers,
; ehissels, planes, hammers, hatchets, knives, rules,
; square®) &c. They have recently made au addi
-1 tion to their bnilding, on Virginia street, and now
i have it stowed full of stoves of all patterns, tin,
j sheet iron, and copper ware, and infect almost
| anything you may ask for..' Their enterprise de
-1 serves encouragement, and we are pleased to learn
that they are prospering. We forgot to say that.
l they also sell “ Ladies’ Qhioce Patent Self-testing
■ Fruit Cons and Jars,” manufactured •by Haller &
j Samuel, Philadelphia. These are said to be the
1 best jars ever invented.

sharp as a razor. If any of our readers wish a
real good thing in the comic line let them take
Vanity Fair.
f Altoona Academy.—The summer session of
the Altoona Acaddby opened on Monday last, un
i der favorable anspices. The managers of the
i Academy have been truly fortunate ip securing
; the servives of Prof. Miller, who ranks among the
• first teachers in the State. We see no reason why
| 'Altoona should not boast of one of the bestAcade
; mies in the State, and we are sure She will if our
| citizens but Qonsult their own interests, and that of
; their children, and give the Academy that support
which it deserves.

100 bushels of as nice potatoes as we have ever
seen in the {dace. We have sampled them, and
find them just as good as they look.
Plants,—By reference to the advertisement of
Mr. Rutherford, in another column, it will be seen
that he is prepared to famish the people of this
place and surrounding country with a variety of

pepper, &c. If yon want anytliiiig in his line, give
him a call.

perior quality of snjoking tobacco, which he trill
dispose of at the lowest rates. Give him a call.
Iron Sails versus Iron Ships.
Experiments have been made at Slioeburvness,
I near London, of the resisting power ot iron-clad
ships against cauuon-balls. A target twenty feet
long by ten feet wide, exactly of the same mate
rials and strength of the Warrior’s broadside, was
fircdat on the Bth instant, with a new gun made
by Sir Wm. Armstrong, fourteen feet long, twelve
tons weight, and ten and a half inches in diameter
at.the muzzle. If rifled for the Armstrong shot,
which is two and a half times the length of its di
aineter. it would discharge a 300-pound shot.—
Lnnfled, it threw a round solid shot of 156 pounds'
LOBI Clarence Paget, in the House of Commons,
said the hrst experiment was with a shot of 150
pounds; and 40 pounds of powder. It was fired
at the Warrior target, at the distance of 200 yards,
but he was bound: to say that the target had had a
t -‘by previous experiment.—
Ine first shot struck the target on a part which
had been, he thought, rather more shaken than
the other pans of it. The shot entered, mode a
hole in the armor plating, and passed through
eighteen inches of backing, being stopped by the
inner skin of the ship, but it cracked that skin.
Ihe next shot, with forty pounds of powder, hit
matrly on the same spot. It went through plating
backmg. skin, aiid all, and there were proofs that
it must have created frightful devastation inside
the vessel. The third shot, Sir Win. Armstrong
requested might be fired with ten pounds of pow
der additional; but some donbts were entertained
not whether the gun would stand such a charge!
but whether so large a charge would be burnt to
give the shot greater velocity. The third shot was
fired with fifty pounds of powder, and fired at that
particular part of the target which represented the
strongest part of the ship. It went through the
armor plating, and buried itself, he believed, at a
considerable distance inside. It went clean through
the plating, backing, and skin, and, he believed,
buned itself in the opposite side.
lt was not very easy to say whether the whole
charge of powder had burnt, but evidently a good
deal more, powdef had burnt, because the effect
was much greater. The fourth shot took place
imder the same circumstances. It went through
the plating aud a great deal of backing; it went
entirely through ope side, aud possibly through the
other side also.”
. r ‘*, ( f reforc ’ againist the new gun, even nnrifled,
the Warrior would have no chance. The London
Tinuis says;—“The Warrior, Black Prince, De
fence and resistance—•'the only four armored frigates
which we liave yet afloat—are coated with 4J-inch
plates of iron, with two layers of 10-inch teak
beams placed transversely, and with an inner skin
of wrought iron nearly an inch- thick. It was
against this powerful combination of materials
that the 156 pounder gnn was tried on Tuesday
last with such complete success. The new frigates
building—the Achilles, Hector, Valiant, Aginconrt,
Northumberland and Minotaur—are all to be coated
with SJ-inch iron, plates, with ten inches of tpnl
and the same inner skin of wrought iron.” But
a 600-pounder will be ready at midsummer,
me are making two wrought-iron guns, nnrifled,
each to cany an 1100-pound shot. The size and
power of the guns, and the weight of the shot can
be augmented, but six-inch iron plates are the
heaviest armor a sea-going ship can carry with
safety; whereas, plates a foot thick can be shat
tered, even to dust, by the force of a wrought-iron
1100-pound shot fired at a short range. Here,
then, is a new difficulty. Iron-clad ships, it seems
cannot be Counted as impregnable. Modern sci
ence has wholly changed the art of naval warfare.

Capture of Fort Macon, N. C.
The Kew York Tribune’s special correspondent
telegraphs to that paper, under date of the ,3rd
inst., the following account of the bombardment
and capture of Fort Mhcon :
** preparations for the bombardment of Fort
Macon were complete on Wednesday night but the
order to fire was not given till 5J o’clock on Fri
day morning, when a shot was fired from one of
the 30-pounder Parrotts.' Shells from the 8-inch
mortar batteries followed, and the firing on our
side at once became regular and uninterrupted.
“The fort replied with the first gun at six
o’clock, and continued until ifs-pieces were silenced
by salvos Of three or four at a time, until four
o’clock m the afternoon, when a white flag was
hoisted. -
“The gun-boats'Daylight, State of Georgia,
Chippewa and Gemsbqk took part in the engage
ment, sailing in an elipse and firing by turn, but
the heavy sea prevented them from doing any ser
vice, and they soon withdrew. J
“ Gen. Burnside arrived on Thursday with two
armed barges and witnessed the bombardment.—
The fire of our batteries dismounted thirteen guns
and tore up the glacis and ramparts in the most
effective manner.
“Of 1100 shot and shell thrown at the fort SGO
struck the work. ’
“ The guns at the fort were worked with skill
and courage, but the sand hills afforded a complete
protection to our men. The hoisting of the white
nag was followed by a conference with General
Irarke and a suspension of hostilities until the fol
lowing morning. During the night, a proposition
for the surrender of the fort was communicated to
Gen. Burnside, and in the morning, the articles of
agreement were signed.
• The garrison surrendered as prisoners of war
and were released on parole, and allowed to take
their private effects with them. The officers re
tained their side-arms. These were the terms
onginaUy proposed by General Tarke, but refused
by Col. Wiute, the <?ommander of the fort
“Fifty guns, 20,000 pounds of powder, and
shot and shell in proportion, and 400 stand of
arms, etc., wefo taken.
“General Burnside, in a General Order, con
gratnfeting General Parke on his victory an
nounces that the name of ‘Fort Macon’ be in
scribed on the colors of the Fourth and Fifth
Rhode Island, and the Eighth Connecticut reiri
ments.
“ The command of the Fort was offered to Cap
tain Morris, of the Fuat Artillery, after the su£
render, but he declined, and Col. Rodman, of the
Fourth Rhode Island, was placed in charge.”
The Tax Bill.—Since the report of tiro tax
bill published, several new amendighns have been
made to it, as follows;
For kissing a pretty girl, $l.OO.
For kissing a homely one, $3.00 —the extra
amount being added probably as a punishment for
the man’s folly.
For ladies kissing one another, $lO.OO. The
tax is placed at this rate in order to break np the
custom altogether—it being regarded by our M.
C.’s as a piece of inexcusable absurdity.
For every flirtation, 10 cents.
Every young man who has more than one “girl”
is taxed $5.00.
For courting in the kitchen, 25 cents.
Conrtjng iu the sitting-room, 50 cents.
Courting in the parlor, 1.00.
Courting in a romantic {dace, $5.00, and 50 cts.
for each offence thereafter.
Seeing a lady home from church, 25 cents for
each offence.
Seeing her home from the dime society, 5 cento
—the proceeds to be devoted to the relief of disa
bled army chaplains.
For a lady who paints, 50 cento.
For wearing low-necked dresses, $l.OO.
For each curl on a lady’s head, above ten, 6
cents.
For every unfair device for entrapping yonng
men into matrimony, $5.00.
For wearing hoops larger than ten feet in cir
cumference,’ 8 cento for each hoop.
Old bach’s over thirty are taxed $lO.
Over forty, $2O,
Over fifty, $5O, and sentenced to banishment in
Utah.
Each pretty lady to be taxed from 25 cents to
s2s—she to fix the estimate on her own beauty.
It, is thought that a very large amount will be re
alized from this provision.
Each lay baby, 50 cents.
Each girl baby, 10 cents.
. Families having more than eight babies are not
to be taxed; and for twins, a premium of $4O will
be paid out of thp funds, accruing from the tax on
old bachelors.
Each Sunday loafer on street corners or about
church doors is to be taxed at his full value, which
is just about 2 cents.
1 o tub Public !—An experience of six months
has fully convinced me that the cash system is
the best, both for merchant and consumer. It ena
bles the merchant to sell at one-half less profit
and make more clear money, with less trouble than
he can by selling on credit; and the reason is ob
vious—he gets the money down for everything he
wants to sell, and has the use of it immediately.—
The consumer also saves by buying for cash, be
cause he gets his merchandise at from 25 to 50 per
cent, below what he would have to jay if he bought
on credit, or even if he bought at a store which
sells on credit. The credit business always loses a
certain per centage, which must be made up from
cash or prompt monthly payers.
I am determined to do nothing but a CASH
BUSINESS, and have but ONE PRICE for mv
Goods.
I have just returned from the cities of New York
and Philadelphia with the largest and cheapest as
sortment of Goods ever brought to Altoona. I
would first invite attention to my complete selec
tion of DRY GOODS, such as Morianta Silks,
Black Silks, Ducals, Reps, Foulards, Scballies,
Delaines, Poplins, Debeges, Ginghams, Cambrics,
Prints, Brown and Bleached Muslins, Tickings,
Cheeks, Linens, Table Napkins, Table Diapers,
Gloves, Hosiery. Also, a fine stock of Cossi
meres, Cottoiuuies, Jeans, &c., for men and boys.
A splendid assortment of Boots and Shoes, for
ladies, misses, men and boys.
A great variety of CARPETS, ranging in price
from 12J cents upward. Oil-Cloths of different
patterns and prices. Window-Shades, of all stvles.
Children’s WAGONS, from $3.25 upwards.
Spring Wagons only $4.25.
Wall Pajier and Bordering—a large and entirely
new selection, embracing the latest and most beau
tiful styles of Paper for Halls, Parlors, Offices,
Bed-Rooms, &c., ranging in price from 5 cents
jier bolt, upwards.
GROCERIES.—My stock of Groceries is un
surpassed, being entirely fresh. Best Syrup Mo
lasses, only 60 cents per gallon; 2d class only 50
cents. Sugars at 9, 10, 11 and 11 £ cents per lb.
Coffee, Tea, Spices, Salt, Fish, Soap, Candles,

In the QUEENSWARE line, I have the lar
gest stock in town: Wedge wood’s celebrated
Iron-Stone Tea Sets, forty-six pieces, only $3.87.
China Sets complete, only $12.00. Chamber
Sets, from $1.25 upward.
In the way of GLASSWARE, I have everything

I feel confident that I can convince them that it is
cheaper to buy Jar cask than on credit; and also,
that my stock is worth an examination.
