I The I’cbuc Schools.— After a session of nine
Lntlis. 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.

Sudden Death. —Oar town was Startled on
Friday last, by tbe announcement of the sndden
death of Miss H. 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. A. O. Kerr, has just received from the
East an entirely new stock of beantifnl sack cloth,
shepherd plaids, and oil manner of dress goods,—
Also, mackerel by the barrel, half barrel and quar

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.
