STKjawo Flowers.—What! —stealing flowers! ' that's agreat subject for a local item, b „i wc can’t help it, although it does speak bad: for |tl(! morals of some of our citizens. It is our duty. s , public journalists, to show up even- secret sys of vice, to the best of our ability, in order that u r readers may be on their guard, and if it inter feres in an. v wa y> 'vith the iUegal and shameful transactions of these floral thieves, or any other ml of audacious viUians, the best thing Urey can a „ is to turn their attention to some more honora- We means of gratifying their desires. The prac |ife of entering front yards and gardens for the nose 0 f stealing flowers, was commenced in. ibis place last Fall, and it has been quite exten sively renewed this Spring. Infect, it is becoming a serious evil, for even the Cemetery, that sacred resting-place of our' beloved dead, is not exempt frum the unhallowed depredations of these heaveii daring, hell-deserving vilUaus and viUia»e*se».— What!—do females stoop to such meanness?— [Such, we are sorry to say, is the feet, as we have ton informed by one of our most respectable citi zens. who, only a few nights, ago,'discovered * couple of petticoats getting over his fence in a style that would have been creditable to a pair of pantaloons in pursuit of a rabbit. Opr worthy friend naturally Wondered. “ what’s up ?” But, on visiting his flower-bed, in the morning, he discov ered that his beautiful dahlias were "up” by the roots, and had disappeared with the brazcn-feced heroines of the previous night! But this is not the onlv instance of this contemptible petty (or ptlticoat) larceny that has come to onr knowledge. Mutilated flower-beds and missing plants are get ting to be quite common; and, as we have before intimated, it is almost useless to plant rare flowers in the Cemetery, where there is no living hand to arrest these shameless, heartless wretches, in their nocturnal incursions. Now, wiiat is to be done? Powder and balls are too good for them; and besides, no good citizen likes to take the law in bis own hands and turn executioner “ on his ow'd hook,” although it may be done, if forbearance ceases to be a vir tue. But wc have pointed out the evil, and it is lor the proper authorities to apply the remedy', ■ S.ui Accident. —On Saturday last, as Mr. Henry W’onderly, one of the Hail Road Company’s clerks in the yard at this place, was attempting to get on a freight train in motion, at the lower end of the yard, for the purpose of riding to the npper end, where the duties of hisyjffice called him at that time, when he slipped and fell with his legs across the track, in front of the cars, which, some say, passed directly over them, from the feet to the knees. Others say that the unfortunate man’s.in juries were caused by the "break,” which caiigbt his legs and shoved them along upon the track.— Which of these stories is correct, we do not know; but 1 we do know that his logs, from the knees down, were most. horribly crushed and mangled. The jKwr fellow was carried, on a board, to the resi dence of Mr. Lyon, on Annie street, where he and his wife were boarding. A physician was im mediately called and the wounds of the sufferer dressed, as well as the bruised and shattered con dition of the limbs wonld admit. He then seemed to rest easy, except whcn,ob!iged to cod|h or move his body in any way, which caused severe pain.— lie lay in this condition until Monday night, when it was determined to amputate tire left leg, which had sustained the most serious injury. The oper atiou was accordingly performed, but the unfortu nate young man did not long survive it. He died the same night, and his remains were conveyer! to their last resting 7 place on Wednesday morning. Another solemn warning to employees on the road, and also to persons crossing the yard between the shops, where engines and cars are almost con tinually passing up and down. The Vlsth Regiment,.P. V.—This regiment, commanded by Col. Patterson, is to be removed from Camden, N. J., to Camp Curtin, with the view of completing its organization by the addition of three companies. Capt. Jaa. Murray, hasbeen authorized, by Curtin, to recruit one of these companies in Blair and Cambria counties.— lie has ahead/ a bilge number enrolled, and will, in a few days, send forward his men. Capt. Mur ray is recognized os a first class officer. He com manded a company from Cambria county, (Cam bria Guards,) in the Mexican war, and the members of that company who knew -him well, speak of him in the most flattering terms. Capt. Murray Was First Lieutenant of the “ Silver Grays.” There are a number of patriotic young men. still in this town and vicinity-who are anxious to-enter the volunteer service, and this new company and regiment presents to them a splendid opportunity. By calling on Geo. Shank, who is authorized to receive recruits for Capt. Murray’s company, they will receive any information which they may de sire. “Roll in,” young men, for this is the only regiment that will be accepted from Pennsylvania for the present, and, perhaps during the war.! Keeping Fowls.—Everybody likes to keep p>uUry; it is so nice to have a good fat “ rooster” to kill when yon get tired of pork and beef ; and it is also very handy to have frisk eggs with which to clear your coffee; yet everybody in town does not keep fowls. Why ? because they are of a wan-, •iering nature and are not always inclined to stay °n their own premises.: They are very apt to play sad havoc with neighboring gardens, and they do .not thrive so well when kept shut up. Sowe folks, however, are not so conscientious; they will keep fowls, no matter whose garden they fatten in. ; We beard of a man who got no good of his toniato vines last year, and this spring he talks of buying a shot-yu n Bn d practising at the expense of all feathery bipeds who trespass upon his premises with the intention of “ scratching ” for a livelihood , at *‘‘ s expense. “Bully for him!” Good citizens will not allow anything belonging to them to tres las.-, upon or destroy their neighbors’ property, and t>ad citizens don't deserve to tat rjucien; so we say m, shot-gun! , Removal.— Esquire Humes has removed his office to the building adjoining Pluck’s Grocery ou Virginia street. He will attend promjjt ,o * he of Deeds, Articles of Agreement, &c, ’Squire Homes is deserving, of the'pat ronage of the citizens, of Altoona, and we hope 1 that in that line win give is* Meeting of Council. —Begnlar meeting June 2, ■ Council met.

Robbkby. —On Monday night lost some infa mous scoundrel. effected an entrance into Mr. Stehlcy’s shoe shop, on Virginia street, and car ried off three skins of Morocco leather and all of Mr. Stehley’s shoemaking tools. The shutters of the shop were fastened by a-bolt on th° inside, but the thief cut a bole in the shutter near the bolt, which he was then enabled to raise with his finger. After getting the shutter open, he very skillfully took out a pane of glass,: reached his hand in and removed the fastening which held the window down. He then had everything his own way.— Nothing remained for him but to crawl in, pack up the “kit” and “retreat” which he is supposed to have done a la rebels, “in good order,” but on a “ double quick.” Anthony S. Mobbow, Esq.—Blair county has, for several years past, been fortunate in her choice of County officers, and the present popular, obli ging and correct Prothonotary is not an exception to the others we have before referred v to. Mr. Morrow is the right man in the right place, and the people of our county have reason to congratu late themselves that he was chosen to perform the duties of Ibis important office. The Prothono taorv's office is a place visited occasionally by al most every citizen of oqr county, and wo frequently hear the highest encomiums passed-'on the prompt ness and efficiency of Prothonotary Morrow. He Is a fit successor of Mr. Baldridge. Mere Mention.—We had tile pleasure, one day last week, of welcoming to oar sanctum the gal lant Lieut. H. H. Hopkins, of the 110th Regiment F. V. He was wounded at the battle of Winchester, where, as we learn from members of his company, he fought like a tiger. He is rapidly recovering from the effects of his wound, and seems to be just as full of fun as in former days. We have known Hiram from his youth up, and if we sympathized with the “seefeh,” we would advise them to keep oat of reach of his sword, for he is going to join his regiment again in a few days.” “Bully for him.”- dust proves to be even a greater disinfectant and preservative than had been sup posed.!

THE BATTLE ON SATURDAY. Headquarters Gun. McClellan’s Army, 1 June 2, r. m.> Two days of the battle at Richmond have been fought, on both of which occasions our troops have bccti victorious, with a heavy loss on both sides. The battle was opened by the enemy making an attack on Casey's division, which was encamped near Seven Pines, ’on the turnpike leading over Bottom Bridge, and within seven miles of Bich mond. The attack was made at about I o'clock on Sat urday afternoon, by Gcfi. Hill’s Division, compos ed of five rebel brigades, the troops being, in the most part, from Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia. The fight here was disastrous. Gen. Casey’s troops were forced to retire > before superior num bers, leaving all their camp equipage and two bat teries on the field. Colonel Baily, in endeavoring to save his bat tery, was killed. : General Heintaelman, on ascertaining the result, ordered forward a portion of the divisions of Gens. Kearney and Hooker to regain the day. Gen. Kearney’s men, o.n being brought into ac tion, charged with the bayonet, driving the rebels before them like sheep, and regaining all the lost gronnd; but after proceeding half a mile night came on, and the operations were brought to a close. Gen. Sumner's two divisions, under Generals Sedgwick and Bichardson, crossed the Chickahom iny at about 3 o’clock on Saturday afternoon, taking a position on Gen. Heintzelman's right.— Here they encountered Generals Longstreet’s, Rains’ and Hughes' divisions—the flower of the rebel army. The fighting was desperate, every foot of ground being hotly contested, but our sol diers were top much for them. The enemy would stand manfully at a distance of sixty yards and be fired at, but they were afraid of the bayonet, and in every instance that oar men charged they were victorious. These two divisions did nobly, driving the rebels at every point, until dark. The enemy’s loss here was veiy heavy, many of them being killed by the bavonet. Gen. Pettigrew, of South Carolina, was taken prisoner. ' We have about five hundred prisoners, among whom are several prominent offices. THE BATTLE ON SUNDAY On Sunday, os soon as it was daylight, the fight by Gen. Sumner with marked suc cess, lasting nearly the whole day. Gen. Heintzelman on Sunday morning retook the gronnd lost the day before by Gen. Casey. Our loss in the two days engagement in killed and wounded will amount to about three thousand. A great! number arc missing, who will probably return, having strayed away. All hf the enemy’s killed; and most of his wounded fell into our hands. The country in which the battle was fought is swampy with thick underbrush. Most of the fight ing was in the woods. Owing to die nature ,of die ground very little artillery was used. Both balloons were up nearly all day yesterday. All the troops left Richmond and marched out in the direction of the battle-field. The rairoad has been of inestimable service to us, the cars running within a mile and a half of the battle-field, bringing forward ammunition and supplies. The wounded were immediately put aboard the cars, and sent to the White House. Gen. McClellan arrived on the battle-field on Saturday evening, where he has remained ever since, directing all the movements in person. His presence among the troops had a great effect. Four separate charges with the bayonet were made daring yesterday. In one instance the en emv were driven a mile, during which 173 were killed by the bayonet alone. Lient. Washington, an aid to Gen. Joe Johnson, was taken prisoner. The enemy’s dead left on the field amounts to over 1,300. Gen. Howard was wounded twice in the arm. Col. Miller, of the 81st Penn’a, and Col. Rip pey of Pittsburgh #ere killed. Col. Campbell of Fa., was wounded in the thigh. ' 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 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 pay 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 my 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.

A great variety of CAIIPETS, ranging in price from 12} cents upward. Oil-Cloths of different patterns and prices. Window-Shades, of all styles. Children’s WAGONS, from $3.25 upwards. Spring 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 6 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 9, 10, 11 and 11} dents per lb.

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 mentionable, such as Fruit Stands, Cake Stands, Jelly Pishes, Preserve Jars, Goblets, Tumblers, 'Ac., Ac.
