Ilie public schools of our borough came to I,lute on Friday last. It is the opinion of the llirectors tliat the teachers and scholars have all [quitted themselves nobly, during that time, and [hat the parents, and citizens generally, have cause [i nmgratulate themselves on securing the services [. -nth faithful and efficient teachers; and, while Ll the children have done well, some hpve even advanced licyond the most sanguine expectations [f their friends.' If others have not progressed in liieir studies us rapidly as it was desired they llioold, perhaps the fault lies at home; the boy par have played truant Occasionally, or he may Lvo been permitted to remain at home day after [lav on the most trivial pretexts. , If such is the Lie., and the boy’s classmates have outstripped lim in learning, it Is no fault of the teachers. — lim so far as we are informed, such cases have |*en exceedingly faro; and they generally are, there the parents do their duly and where teachers bderstaud the knack of winning the affections and confidence of the pupil. With such schools as we have, ignorance in the rising generation would be hlmost inexcusable. Since the close of the free pools, Mr. Elder and Miss McCrum have opened | subscription i school in the East Ward School Rooms, where instructions will be given in all the Ranches usually taught in common schools. The lligh School, Ifrof. Miller, principal, will liave a vacation after this week. Aid foh the Soldiers..— We ore pleased to no tice that our citizens are at last getting their eyes open in regard to their duty to the ; sick and sounded soldiers now in the different military hospitals. This is a move in the right direction, tad all should take an active part in helping tlong snch a praise-worthy enterprise. A num hr of articles have already been forwarded to the prave sufferers, and more are being collected for Khe same purpose. We hope to see the “ mountain jtiiy” give a good account of herself in this matter. Ulmost every family could spare something for-so poble a cause; and we have no doubt that the piriMic young men of onr town, who have not been called upon to make any sacrifice for their benny, but who have been permitted to remain bhome and enjoy all its pleasures, would cheer fully contribute of their means to purchase articles UMssaiy for the well-being of those, who, in the irfeitte of our beloved country, have met with misfortune. Especially do we think the young beaux would “ shell out,” if waited upon by a tommiitee of smiling, 'bright-eyed, bewitching bung ladies, such as Altoona can boast of. We purely throw out this hint-let the prime movers n ,!le noble-undertaking act in the matter as they pnk proper. Persons wishing to contribute Wiling,, bandages, lint, et cetera can -obtain all tessary information bycalling on Mrs. Rosen te, East Ward. Tiik Menagebie. —By reference to an adver- Isement in another column, it will be seen that an Amburgh’s Menagerie, the only real and ex flusively “ nnirnni show'' in the United States, will bbibit in this place on Friday, the 20th day of Ne. e see this gland institution veiy highly of by the press everywhere.

E. Sears. She had been at the Post Office abont ten o’clock on Friday morning, received a letter from her brother, had gone to her loom in the “ Exchange Hotel,” and finished an answer to the letter, when itis supposed She was seized with a fit tSf apoplexy, and was fotnuAead in the room. coroner, Dr. Freeman, held an inquest upon thebody, and the jury returned a ver dict of “death by the visitation of God;” The deceased was a practising physician, was well educated, had fine conversational powers, and had gained some reputation as a writer of prose and poetry for tbe Magazines. - It is said she was originally from Boston, but her late home was in Harrisbnrg, Pa. She was decently bnried in the Lu theran graveyard in this place, and her funeral was attended by tbe clergy and a large number of our citizens, who, with sad hearts,' paid the last tribute of respqpt to the stranger.— Register. BY U4UXBT. . Poisoned Fateh Hangings.— -It would seem to be a fact that, the colored green paper bangings, so generally in use for the walls of our booses, have an unfavorable effect upon tbe inmates from the quantity of arsenic evolved and taken into the system through the lungs. Tbe Boston Traveler says: , We are informed upon the best authority of a late case at the West End., The wife of one of ohr prominent citizens some ; time since sickened and seemed to be going into a decline. An emi nent physician was called in,' but was puzzled at the symptoms of the case, weich seemed to be one of the most mysterious character. The husband also began to complain of an unusual feeling of de pression. At last one day the Doctor called at the house, when the door of tbe sleeping room of the patients was open. Looking at the room, the cause of the trouble was apparent in the green pa per upoh the walls. He ordered the paper to he stripped off and other paper substituted, when tbe lady rapidly recovered, and is now enjoying her usual good health. The 4th of July.— This old-fashioned but ever welcome institution will be aronnd this way just three weeks from to-morrow, and if we are to have a public celebration, it is time the arrangements were being made. Who will take the lead ? Two pic-nics—the German Lutheran and the German Catholic—are on the programme for that day, but abide from evening of this kind, we should have a public ejebration; the Declaration of Independence should ee read; we should have a few “spread eagle” speeches, interspersed with National songs and “music by the Band," if nothing more. It should be a general holiday for everybody, and all should esteem it their doty, as it certainly is their glorious privilege, to celebrate the day' in a becom ing manner. ;; Interesting to Parents.—A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune calls the attention of parents to the prevailing practice of causing children to ride backward in their carriages, as a manner of locomotion attended with very injurious conse quences. It is said that those physicians who have examined into the matter are of the opinion that diseases of the brain may, in a great number of coses, be traced to this practice alone, and that many suffer in after life from the effects of this manner of riding. If this be true, it is certainly a duty to give the thoughtless: a word of caution, the health and comfort of children being a subject iff vital importance to parents. Spring Bonnets. —The milliners of our town are busily engaged in supplying their customers with new spring Bonnets. There is nothing more noticeable, or adds more to a lady’s appearance than a pretty bonnet, “a love of a bonnet,” as they term them. The spring style is a little above any thing that has been worn recently, and if the sys tem of extension continues another , year or two, the bonnets worn by the “Old Folks,” at their concerts, will riot be so “ outlandish” looking af feirs as they were a year or two ago. The present height of the fashion requires a small flower gar den to fill the space above the top of the head. Bbownlow’s Book. —This excellent work is put at last, and we bespeak for it a ready sale. It contains over 450 beautiful primed jjpges; is illus trated with spirited engravings, and is handsomely bound. It has been prepared, as the parson says, “ from the single stand-point of uncompromising devotion to the American Union as established by our fathers, and unmitigated hostility to the armed rebels who are seeking its destruction.” Every American should have this book, Price, $1.25. — Andy Clabangh, Agent for Altoona; Fire. —The residence of Wm. Forbqa* Esq., manager at Lower Maria Forge, was. considerably damaged by fire last Monday. Fortunately a Couple of gentlemen, passing in a buggy, saw the flames bursting through the toed', and alighted and assisted in extinguishing them before any serious damage was done. Had they not passed just as they did, the probability-is that the fire would have gained such headway before discovered as to have rendered useless all efforts to snbdne it, and the building would have been entirely - 'destroyed.— The fire originated from a stove-pipe,— Standard. : Homeward Bound.— One day last week two .car-loads of Michigan volunteers who had been founded or otherwise unfitted for service at the battle of Williamsburg, passed through this place en route for “home, sweet home.” They were mostly of those who encountered the Louisiana Tigers in that hard fought battle, and it is said -that the appearance of these gallant defenders of the Union, with their various wounds, gave the be holder a better idea of tear than anything hitherto witnessed in this latitude. „ “ Snu- they Come."—For the benefit of cash buyers we would just remark that our enterprising friend, R.

Direct the BET. JOHN M. DAGN ALL, XM, Pulton street. Brooklyn, N. T. r [June U.-4m. To the Public !—An experience of six months has fully convinced me that the cash system is tJie. best, both for merchant and consumer. It ena bles the merchant to sell at ose-halp 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 n 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 retained from the cities of New York and Philadelphia with the largest and cheapest as sortment of Goods ever brought to Altoona. 1 would first invite attention Ao my complete selec tion of DRY GOODS, inch as Moriauta Silks, Black Silks, Ducals, Reps, Foulards, Schallies, Delaines, Poplins, Debeges, Ginghams, Cambrics, Prints, Brown and Bleached Muslins, Tickings, Checks, Linens, Table Napkins, Table Diapers, Gloves, Hosiety. Also, a fine stock of Cossi meres, Cottonades, 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 12 J 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 8 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 111 cents j>er lb. Coffee, Tea, Spices, Salt, Fish, Soap, Candles, and everything in that line, at Cash Prices. 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 Sets, from #1.25 upward. In the way of GLASSWARE, I have everything mentionable, such as Fruit 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 I feel confident that I can convince them that it is cheaper to buy for cash tfban on credit; and also, that mv stock is worth ah examination.
