Fatal Accident.— On Thursday night last,
Mainuel Wilt, of this place, a bmkeman on one
the freight trains between this place and Harris
burg,’ fell from his train and was run over and
kilixl. It appears that, for the purpose of riding
mure comfortably, he had placed a board diagonal
ly across a stock .car, between the slats, leaving one
mj protrude over the bumper he occupied. While’
pissing through the narrows, below Lewistown, it
e supposed that the board was shaken out of its
yiuce at the opposite end from the one on which he
sit, thereby causing it to tilt and letting him drop
between the bumpers. He fell with his legs across
the rail and his body on the outside of the track.
One of his legs was crushed from the thigh to the
knee, where both legs were cut off. He lived but
u few hours after the accident. His rcmaifis were
brought . to this place on Friday morning. He
haves a wife but no children.
Fire is ColLlnsville. —On Wednesday after
noon last, two weatherboarded log houses, the

flie afternoon being dry, the houses composed of
combustible material, and none of the modern appl
auces for extinguishing the element on hand, it
’’•on communicated to the second bouse, and those
present could do little else than attend to saving
household goods. The fire was also communica
ted to adjoining buildings but was discovered in

] Receiving Letters. —We clip the following
j excellent advice from an exchange: ■ “The safest
.'..way of receiving mail matter is to have’a.box at
-1 the post office, and call for yonr own letters. The
next safest is to receive your letters from a public
carrier; the most insecure vvny is to have your let
ters in the “ general delivery,” because, in nine
out of ten cases a letteriwill be delivered to any
honest seeming jierson who calk for ft, the pre
sumption lining either that lie iis the person ad
dressed or that he is authorized to call. A box is
the best' way, because letter^and jiapere are sys
tematically put into such areceptacle, and men are
apt to tire of calling for a daily- examination where
only transient letters are expected. Of course;
some letters and papers are in such cases tardily
received. Ifyou or your family receive a dozen
letters a year, a box will be fdund to pay what it
costs in the superior comfort, .promptness and cer
tainty thereby obtained. Besides, is there Any
thing more provoking than to’wait your turn, in a
long file, many before and many behind you,' and
-make the clerks overhaul both papers and letters,
and after all have nothing to sliowfor your outlnv
of time, patience and personal dignity? ”

Proclamation of the President.
May 13.
The following proclamation has been issued by
the President:
Whereas, by my proclamation of the nine
teenth of April, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-one, it was declared that the ports of certain
States, including those of Beaufort,;. in the State
of North Carolina, Port Royal, in the State of
South Carolina, and New Orleans, in the State of
Louisiana, were, for reasons therein set forth, in
tended to be placed under blockade; and whereas
the said ports of Beaufort, Port Royal, and New
Orleans have since been blockaded; but as the
the same ports may now be safely re
laxed with advantage to the interests of com
: mcrce:
Now, therefore, be it known that I, Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States, pursuant
to the authority in me vested’ by the fifth section
of the act of Congress, approved on the 13th of
July last, entitled “An Act further to provide
for the collection of duties on imports, and for
other purposes,” .do hereby declare that the block
ade of the said ports of Beaitfort, Port Royal and
New Orleans shall so far cease and determine,
from and after the Ist day June next, that com
mercial intercourse with those ports, except as to
persons and things and information contraband of
war, may, from that time, be carried on, subject to
the laws of the United States, and to the limita
tions and in pursuance of the regulations which
arc prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury in
his order of this date, which is appended to this
Proclamation.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the dßrof the United States to be
affixed.
Done at the City of, Washington, this twelfth day
of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the inde
pendence of the United Slates the eightv-sixth.

Secretary of State.
An Incident of the Battle-Field. —The fol-
Vwing touching story is thus related by a wounded
witness from Newbem: „
“The Lieutenant was in advance of his men in
the bayonet charge, when a volley from the enemy
shattered his right log and the ’ Captain’s left.—
They- were both removed and laid side by side,
when William called to the Snrgeon, and said—.
‘Surgeon, you must amputate my leg; I can’t
stand this.’ The Captain tried to persuade him
not to’ Have' it removed, but he was determined,
and said it must be done. The Snrgeon then ad
■ministered chlorofofm and amputated his leg. As.
soon ns the operation was performed, William
called for a cigar, and smoked it very leisurely
until the fire was near Ins lips. The Surgeon then
eame along and inquired—‘How do you feel now,
;Lieutenant?’ To which he replied—‘Yety com
fortable, but I feel as if that Stump of a ieg you
cut off was on again and the toes were cold.’—
The Captain said it made him shudder to hear
William speak so coolly, and he turned his head
, so ns to look in his face. As ho gazed at him he
his eyes looked strangely, At that mo
ment William sat up, and, in a voice which nbver
sounded louder or shouted —‘Forward,
i march!’ and fell dead.” : L

tized in the river. If was latter, cold day in the

O* Beauregard's “victory" at Pittsburg Land
ing is very much like that described by “John
Phcenix.” He says : “I held the, enemy down with
my nose, which I, had inserted between his teeth
for that puqiose!"
83*The first shipment to New Orleans, on the
news of its capture, was, of course, made by a
'Boston firm, which dispatched on Monday of last
week, a cargo of 1,000 tons of ice to cool oft' the
Crescent City—permission having been obtained
from Washington.
The Erie City Ijisjiutc/t says:—“The neat
est and best printed ppper oh our exchange list, if
not in the State, is the Altoona Tribune.” Thank
you, brother Young. We appreciate a compliment
of that kind, from one who nnderstands the busi
ness as well as you do.
O* The Indiana Democrat is the title of a new
paper started in Indiana, Indiana county, by Jajs.
B. Sansom. It is printed on the type and press of
the Johnstown Echo, which suspended when the
war broke out, the editor, G. Nelson Smith, going
into the army. The Democrat is a neat paper,
typographically, and well edited.
63* An old darkey, while enjoying the privileges
accorded to him by these happy (!) times, was
heard to exclaim: “ Bress the Lord, hallclujer,
dat dis old nigger should lib to sec dis ere happy
time, when de white men must hab a pass to move
about and nigger go where him please wid out one.
Bress de Lord.' 1
63“ Muggins was passing up street one day with
a friend, when he observed a poor dog, that had
been killed, lying in the gutter. Muggins paused,
gazed intently at the defunct animal, and at last
said; “ Here is another shipwreck.” “Shiptvreek 1
where?” “ There’s a biirk that’s lost forever.”—
His companion growled and passed on.
®*A bible was found in an officer’s tent at
Yorktown, evidently intentionally left with a mark
in it, and a leaf turned down at 2d Kings, 9th
chapter and 19th verse, onward. Any reader can
find the passage and apply the name of Jehu to
McClellan, that of Jehoram to General Lee, and
that of Ahaziah to Jell'. Davis.
63* When General Butler took possession of
Baltimore, shortly after the breaking out of the
war, the New Orleans Journals made merry at his
expense, and declared he was an old colored bar
ber, known as “Picayune Butler,” who formerly
kept a shop under the St. Charles Hotel in the
Crescent City. We presume the New Orleans
people will be pleased to meet their old friend
“Picayune." It is feared, however, that they
won’t like his razor, nor even the shaving to which
some of his journeymen will subject the rebels.
To the 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 clem* money, with less trouble than
he can by selling bit 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 23 to 50 per
cent, below what he would have to pay if h 6 bought
on credit, or even if he bought at a store which
sells on credit. T-he 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 my
Goods. \
I have just returned from the cities of New York
and Philadelphia with.tlie largest and cheapest as
sortment of Goods ever brought to Altoona. 1
would first invite attention to my complete selec
tion of DRY GOODS, such as Morianta Silks,
Black Silks, Ducals, Reps, Foulards, Schallics,
Delaines, Poplins, Debcges, Ginghams, Cambrics,
Prints, Brown and Bleached Muslins, Tickings,
Checks, Linens, Table Napkins, Table Diapers,
Gloves, Hosiery. Also, a fine stock of Cassi
meres, Cottonailes, 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 121 cents upward. Oil-Cloths of different
patterns and prices. Window-Shades, of all styles.
Children's WAGONS, from $3.25 upwards.
Simng Wagons only $4.25.
Wall Paper 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
per 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 0, 10, 11 and 11J cents per lb.
Coffee, Tea, Spices, Salt, Fish, Soap, Candles,
and evervthing in that line, at Cash Pbices.
In the’ QUEENSWARE line, I have the lar
gest stock in town: Wedgewood's celebrated
Iron-Stone Tea Sets, forty-six pieces, only $3.87.
China Sets complete, only $12.00. Chamber
Seta, from $1.25 upward.
In the way of GLASSWARE, I have everything
mentionable, such as Fruit Stands, Cake Stands,
Jelly Dishes, Preserve Jars, Goblets, Tumblers,
&c., &c.
I would respectfully invite the public to call and
examine my stock before purchasing elsewhere, as
1 feel confident that I can convince them that it is
cheaper to Imy fur caxh than on credit; and also,
that my stock is worth an examination.
