Fourth or July Fbookamme.— After having
patiently waited in vain for the “leading men” of
Ihe town to make some movement in regard to the
(.roper celebration of the coming National Anni-.
versiin- in Altoona, we have concluded to take the;
nspomability of announcing the following pro-
Those of our citizens who have not been on a
.(.pe the night before, will arise on the morning of
ihe 4th, wash their feces, comb their hair, and then
rai their breakfast. -After this important ceremo- 1
iiv has been performed, various little household
“chores” will be in order and gbonld be promptly
attended to. Young America will then be at lib
, riv 111 sally forth with his pockets full of squibs
and a cigat in his mouth, to join his comrades and
indulge in any kind of recreation or amusement,
niiith his fertile imagination may suggest.
•‘The boys" all being oaf, of course the “old
lidks” will be tempted to follow" the bent of their
men inclinations, thus reversing an old couplet:
When the mice are away
The cal. i will play."
in course, many of them will “dine out” in the
mods, where different denominations mid associa
tions trill hold pic-nics; and for this purpose they
will be seen forsaking the town like rats do a sink
ing ship. UW-lant lovers and their pretty lasses
will either assemble in crowds of two, and repair to
time- secluded spot, there to squeeze each other’s
lingers, and talk soft nonsense to their heart's con
unt; or, attend some one of the numerous rural
(urties, there to “ trip the light fantastic toe” until
ike perspiration oozes from even - pore and the pul
.Mions of the heart keeps time to the music of the
violin.
In the meantime, “fast young men” and “old
siakers” will imbibe freely of those popular bever
ages known as “lager,” “rot-gut,” etc., when
iliuse of this class who are not too heavily tootled
sill swagger about the streets, informing quiet
jeople that “ this is a free country,”,and that “ the
fourth of July comes hut once-a year.” In all
probability some of them will be “spilin' for a
hy/d;” therefore, allow us to announce the fact
.that our good old friend, 'Uncle Sam, can give em
ployment fo all experts in that line of business.
After the day lias been spent in the manner
uliovc stated, evening will be at hand, and all who
teel inclined can take their suppers. After which
ilic events of the day can be talked over and dis r
cussed until twilight, when it will be in order to
light a few roman candles —those who can’t afford
these, may use tallow candles. The youngsters,
after having bought out Fettinger, Clabaugh, Per
cival, Heslop, Weis, Boss! and others, can touch
off their fire-wheels, spit-devils and chasers, and
then retire to bed, there to dream of the happy
Jays when they shall be men and take the places
ot the selfish* “old fogies” 'who cannot get up a grand
suited celebration on that day, which of all tlie
Jays in the year, should be appropriately honored
ly every true American citizen.
'as Ambdbgb’s Menaoebie.—According to
Kt'ious announcement, this institution visited oitr
awn on Friday last, and gave two of the grandest
exhibitions that it has ever been our
l-rivilege to witness. This is the only real Me
angene in the United States; it contains some of
■lit rarest and most splendid specimens of the arii
''■llll kingdom that have ever been exhibited on this
continent; and, unlike many other travelling
“hows, every man connected with it appeared to be
* I cr l ec > gentleman. All were willing and anx
lous to answer, satisfactorily, the hundreds of ques
ioas propounded to them concerning the animals.
Mr. Frost, the Manager, Is the personification of
foliteness, and was eveKon the alert, finding seats
■or the ladies and children, and otherwise con
'ributing to, the comfort of all—high and low, rich
siri poor alike. The man who stooped to slan
der the monkies, and who said that “nobody but
I* o }*, darkies and fools, ever visited an animal
>ho», should have been there. He would have
■*«n, in the audience, more intelligence, beaut)-,

Where is the Town Council ?—Ave, that’s
the question! Surely we have a Town Council.—
Did we not elect one? Certainly wedid. Then,
who are they ?—and where are they ? What were
they elected for? —and why; do they not attend to
the duties of their office? Who knows? We
panse for replies, and hope they will not be long
coining, for many of the streets and sidewalks are
in a most dilapidated and dangerous condition, and
they are getting worsetand worse every day.—
Many of onr citizens have already sustained more
or less damage to their peraons or dresses, and we
daily expect to hear of broken limbs or braised
heads resulting from the gross negligence of those
whose business it is to see that the sidewalks are
properly graded and pared. ■ In that case the Bor
ough is liable to prosecution; and,
“From saiis at law.
And wives that jaw,
The Lord deliver n«.”
Let the sidewalks be properly graded, even if they
cannot be paved immediately. One night, not
long since, we sgw a poor old man coming down
Virginia street—the pringipal thoroughfare of the
Borough—and, when near the Presbyterian Church,
he fell flat upon the brick pavement, owing to a
horrid offset in the grade. But why need we par
ticularize, when similar casesare of almost daily and
nightly occurrence, and just such man-traps are to
be found in almost every street in town. Nearly
Oil the pavements are made of boards—many of
them laid down lengthwise and in a careless man
ner. The weather has warped the boards, the
nails have drawn out, and the whole fabrics have,
become so “ rickety” that to travel them is more
like climbing the slab-inle at a saw-mill, than
anything else we can liken it to. Again, many of
these cheap, economical pavements are so narrow,
that when one couple meets another, all most go
tandem, (like ants up a tree,) or else one party
most step off and let the other pass. This is so
very convenient (?) when different denominations
ate assembling at, or returning from, their differ
ent places of worship, on Sunday. Oh! shame, ye
“ Borough Fathers.” Whyido ye not see to these
things ? Why do ye not endeavor to have our oth-.
erwise pleasant town present the appearance of a
civilized community ? It must be done, and the
sooner the better. A few weeks ago we called the
attention of property-holders to tire existing state
of affairs; but that was in .vain, and ncAv we ap
peal to yon, gentlemen of the Conned, hoping this
may be the last time we shall have occasion to
complain on this score. That the citizens of Al
toona have cause to complain, must be apparent to
yon, if you reside in this place, and we presume
yon do; therefore, “we humbly pray” that these
(and other evils which,we do not wish to publish
to the world) may be remedied, and that speedily,
for your own sakes, for civilization's sake, for .de
cency’s sake, and for shame's sake, if nothing else.
Stealing Fruit, &c, —Nqw, that the season for
fruit and vegetables has commenced, it may be
well to call attention to the legal penalty prescribed
for trespassing upon gardens, orchards or other
private grounds—stealing fruits, flowers, vegetables,
etc. Everybody knows it is wrong to take a single
heny, or pluck a single flower, without the consent
of the owner, but from time immemorial there hai
been a laxity in this respect, until boys and men
even think it a small matter to trespass upon the
property of others, and appropriate whatever salts
them. Boys have become particularly troublesome
in this respect, and in the cities and boroughs espe
cially, it is next to impossible to prevent depreda
tions upon gardens and orchards. So great hod
the evil become, that the Legislature, two years
ago, found it necessary fo pass a stringent law. for
the punishment of this class of offenders.
It is only necessary for the injured party fo make
information before a magistrate, and hare the of-,
fonder arrested and held for trial—when the testi
mony of the owner or occupant of the premises
shall be admitted as evidence.
Another method of procedure is by civil action
before a magistrate, against any person who shall
damage any garden, orchard or field of growing
crops, in any manner whatever.' Judgment shall
be given by the magistrate tor double the amount
of the damage proved to have been done, together
with costs of suit; one-half of the damage or pen
alty to go to the use of the poor of the district in
which the premises lie; and in default of payment,
the party may be committed to jail for not less
than one x>r more than, twenty day?.
Bovs out at Night.—We publish the following
which is going the rounds in the papers for the
benefit of boys who are in the practice of spending
their evenings in the streets.
'‘lt is one of the most ruinous, dangerous and
mischievous things possible. Nothing so Surely
marks their course downward. They acquire, un
der cover Of the night, an nnhealty state ofmind,
vulgar and profane language, obscene practices,
criminal sentences, and a lawless bearing. Indeed,
it is in the streets, after nightfall, that boys gener
ally acquire the education and capacity for be
coming rowdy, dissolute criminal men. Parents,
do you believe it? Will you keep your children
home nights, and see that their home is made
pleasant and profitable?”
Couldn’t Resist the Temptation.—On Thurs
day last, at Tyrone, after Van'Ambnrgh’s pavilion
had been erected, a couple of “country gentlemen,”
with their “garla,” entered the ring intended for
the performing animals, and indulged in a regular
“hoe-down,” to the music of the brass band. A
middle-aged lady who stood by, with a “responsi
bility” resting in her amus gazed e scene
until she became excited, When she sung out to a
friend—“ Sally, jist come and nnss my baby till I
take a dance!” and away she went, over the rope,
into the ring, and round and round in a style that
would almost have eclipsed the performance of an
adept at that business.
That Boquet.— Our much esteemed friend,
Mid. Mollie Moorhead, will please accept our
thanks for a present in the shape of a beautiful and
delightfully, odorant boqnet, It is composed of
choice flowers, selected add arranged with that
care and exquisite taste for which the donor is
noted; and its fragrance so sweet and so charming
to the olfactories, that on enteringthe.room which
it graces, we almost imagine ourself enjoying the
“balmy breezes” peculiar to some far-off isles of
the Southern seas.
0* At a stated meeting, of the (rood Will Fire
Company, held June 19th, 1862, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of the: Good Will
Fire Company be tendered to James Kearney, Esq.',
for his liberal donation of (25 for their services at
the Are on the'2oth of April, 1863.

The Coming Anniversary.—We have yet
heard of no intention on the part of onr citizens to get
up one of those good, old fashioned 4th of Jnly
Celebrations, that used to make onr hearts glad in
onr younger days, but aside from this there is an
apparent disposition among our friends generally,
to commemorate the day iPa proper manner; and
we are pleased to notice that in anticipation of the
event the ladies are selecting their dress goods
from the well-filled shelves of onr merchant friends.
Murphy & MePike, comer of Virginia and Caro
line streets, where a most complete and handsome
assortment of goods are constantly to be fonnd iu
abandonee, and at prices that none claim to excel
and tew to compete with. Those who have not
yet been fortunate enough to sample their goods,
should do so at ;once, as delays in this respect, as
well as in many others, are often dangerous, and,
so long as bargains are going, it is the interest of
every one to take a hand. So one and all should
take a peep at their stock, as they have just added
to it many of the most unique styles of dress goods,
from the cheapest calico to the finest silk, to say
nothing of the large and fresh stock of groceries
and provisions, which they are offering at the
merest advance on cost. Make a note of this and
act accordingly.
Too Soon.—The near approach of the Fourth
of duly has started the Inns, as usual, ahead of
time in the way of exploding torpedoes, parlor
matches and Such other pyrotechnic productions ns
the state of their finances will admit. It is
scarcely necessary to say that this is a dangerous
practice, and should be discountenanced, as many
accidents have previously resulted from this
cause.' On the 4th everybody is expected to lx- on
his guard against these projectiles and the casual
ties therefrom proceeding; but previous to that
time the practice of firing them is certainly a nui
sance, and a dangerous one, too. Wait until the
day comes, boys, and then make all the noise you
can—if not more.
, “A Son Answer turneth aw at Wrath.’"
—lllustrative of the truth of this Proverb, is the
following anecdote, as related to us hr a friend:—
Not long since, a precocious youth, of this county,
was threatened, by his father, with a slap for mis
chievousness at the table.- Young hopeful, before
whom the character of the immortal Washington
had often been held up as one worthy of emulation,
assumed a very demure countenance, and in a sol
emn but earnest manner said—“ Father did you
ever hear of. George-Washington slapping any
body?” The effect was magical, the parent's
wrath was turned away, and the whole family
joined in a hearty laugh together.
Pic-Nic and Banquet. —Our Catholic friends
design celebrating the coming anniversary of our
nation's birth by a Pic-Nic and Festal Banquet in
McCartney’s Grove, at the west end of town, and
if we may judge from the preparations making, it
will be one of the most pleasant and agreeable af
fairs of the kind promised for the occasion. Ev
erything necessary to the refreshing of the inner
and the enjoyment of the outer man will be pro
vided with a lavish hand, and all persons who seek
to pass the day in innocent recreation and at the
same time contribute to a good cause, can do no
better than attend the Pic-Nie in McCartliey’s
Grove.
As it Should be. —We understand that one
prominent feature in the celebration of our natal
day in this place, will be a grand pole and flag
raising, at C o’clock A. M., in front of Oak Hail,
on Main street! It is expected that Hon. L. W.
Hall will deliver a patriotic address, and D. J.
Neff, Esq., will read the Declaration of Indepen
dence. Qjher eminent gentlemen will lie pre
sent to assist in:tbc ceremonies, and a grand time is
anticipated. A full orchestra of vocal and instru
mental musicians will perform several patriotic
airs. Admittance free—“children halt price.”—
For particulars, sec next week’s Tribune.
To Preserve Stawberries.—The Scientific
American gives the following receipt for preserving
strawberriesTo two pounds of fine large straw
berries, add two pounds of powdered sugar, and
put them in a preserving kettle, over a slow fire,
till the sugar is ..melted; then boil them precisely
twenty minutes, as fast as possible; have a num
ber of small jars, and put the fruit in boiling hot.
Cork and seal the jars immediately, and keep them
through the summer in a cold dry cellar. The
jars must he heated before the hot fruit is poured
in, otherwise they will break.
Narrow Kscape.-—On Monday evening last,
a young lady by the name of Margaret Green, of
this place, was caught in a shower of rain, and, on
.arriving at home, she turned her' back to the fire
for the purpose <Sf drying her dress, when by some
means the fire; was communicated to her skirts,
and for some moments her position seemed to be
one of imminent danger; but assistance being at
hand, the flames were soon extinguished, and the
young lady escaped without sustaining any personal
injury, although her dress was totally ruined.
Strawberries and Cream.—This is something
that is not hard to take, we think. A somewhat
dyspepsic individual said, in our hearing, the other
day, that “his friends were killing him with straw
berries and cream!” Lucky fellow, thought we;
to be blessed with such an agreeable means of exit
from this world of sin and sorrow. Shortly after,
we were favored with a few of the berries, by our
friend H. F. Spering, we added the cream,—and,
and—g’way, “devil,” set this up. We don't rec
ollect anything more.
Letters.—Who don’t like to receive letters
good long letters—from absent friends ? Speaking
of letters reminds us that the chirograph}- of some
is horrid, in the extreme, and this suggests the im
portance of using good pens, such as Barnard's
Corrugated Pens, which can be obtained only at
Fettinger’s Oak Hall.
Pre-Nic.—A pic-nic for the benefit of the jGer
maa Lutheran Church will take place in Beales’
Woods, on the 4th of July. The time is drawing
near, and all who wish to be “in the ring” uould
do well to secure tickets immediately.
O' “Daddy” Lewis, of the Huntingdon Globe,
paid our sanctum a pop-visit on Show-day. He
came to see oair show, and expressed himself well
pleased with the exhibition. Lewis is a clever
fellow, a man of intelligence, and prints a neat
paper. '
Woodcock Shootko.—The season for shoot
ing woodcock in this State commences on the 4th
day of July next. Persons found killing them be
fore that time are liable to a fine of five dollars.
To the Public !—An experience of six months
I has fully convinced me that the cash system is
: the best. both for merchant and,consnmer. It ena
l.bles the merchant to sell at one-half less profit
i and make more clear money, with less trouble than
Ihe can by selling on credit; and the reason is oh
j vious—he gets the money down for everything he
j wants to sell, and has the use of it immediately.—
i The consumer also saves by buying tor cash, hfl
: 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
j sells on credit. The credit business always loses a
I certain per centage, which must be made up from
j cash or juromja monthly payers.
I lam determined to do nothing but a CASH
; BUSINESS, and have but ONE PRICE for my
l Goods.
I have jnst returned from the cities of New York
and Philadelphia with the largest and cheapest as
sortment of Goods ever brought to Ahoona. I
would first invite attention to my complete selec
tion* of DRY GOODS, such as Morianta Silks,
Black Silks, Dncals, Reps, Foulards, Sehallies,
Delaines, Poplins, Debeges, Ginghams, Cambrics,
Prints, Brown and Bleached Muslins, Tickings,
Checks, Linens, Table Napkins, Table Diapers,
Gloves. Hosier)'. Also, a fine stock of Cassi
meres. Cottonades, Jeans, &c., for men and boys.
A splendid assortment of Boots and Shoes, for
ladies, misses, men and bovs.
A great variety of CARPETS, ranging in price
from 12; cents upward. Oil-Cloths of different
patterns and prices. Window-Sliades, of all styles.
Children’s WAGONS, from $3.25 upwards.
Spring Wagons only $4.25.
Wall Paper and Bordering—a largo and enfirely
new selection, embracing the latest and most beau
tiful styles of Paper for Halls, Parlors, Offices,
Bed-Rooms, ic., 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
•cuts. Sugars at 9, 10, 11 and 11J cents per 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, onlv $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 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 tliat 1 can convince them that it is
cheaper to buy for cash than oh credit; and also,
that my stock is worth an examination.

CASE OF DANIEL A. BQYD.
Pittsburgh, December 81,186 U
Dr, G. H. Krysxr :—I take pleasure in making this vol
untary statement in favor of a medicine prepared by yon
called w Lindsey's Blood Searcher.” I had suffered for
five years with Scrofula which broke out on my bead and
forehead so as to disflgiire me very much, and took off the
hair when the disease made Reappearance; it also broke out
on my arm above and below the elbow, and eat Into the
skin and 1 flesh so as to expose a fearful sore. The disease
on my head went so far that several small pieces of bone
came out. I was very week and low spirited, and had
given up all hope of ever getting well, as I had tried sev
eral skillful physicians and they did me no good. In Sep.
tember last, 1861.1 was induced to try. u LhrMsr’B Im
proved Blood Searcher.” I must confess I had no faith
in patent medicines, but after I had used three bottles of
Blood Smrcher, the ulcers on my bead and arm began to
heal. I have now taken eight or ten bottles, and my bead
and arm are entirely well except the scars remaining from
the sores. I will also state that I had the rheumatism
very bad in my arms and legs. The Blood Searcher also
cured the rheumatism.; I am now a well man, over forty
years of age, and 1 feel as snple and young as I did when
I was twenty, and have increased in weight twenty pounds.
I would also state that the disease in my forebeard was so
bad that when J stooped and lifted anything heavy, the
blood run out of the sore. Dr. Keyser had a photograph
taken oi me by Mr. Cargo, the artist, after I began to get
well. It does not show my appearance a| bad as it was
before 1 commenced faking the medicine.' You can see
the photograph, one of which is now in my possession,
and also at Dr. Keyser’e 140 Wood street. I would also
state that I took the Blood Searcher which was made be
fore Dr. Keyser commenced making it. Although it
-helped me some, I did not recover fast until I got the kind
mode by Dr. Keyser himself. One bottle of his did me
more good than two of the old. I believe it Is a great deal
stronger and better. I have recommended ; the Blood
Searcher to u great many of my friends for various dis
eases, and I believe it has helped the whole of them. You
may publish this if you wish, and I am anxious that all
who are afflicted as I was may be cured. I live in this city.

A BLIND MAN CUBED
1 live in Sligo, at Clinton Mill, and have been nearly
blind in both eyes'ibr neatly four years. I called on Dr.
Keyser abMit three months ago and asked him to give me
directions to the Institution for the Blind in Philadelphia.
He told me' that I need not go to Philadelphia , to get well,
as he bad medicine that would cure me, as be juiid my dis
ease was in the blood. I was treated lor It two or three
times in the hospital ip this city, and was relieved, but
my disease always returned alter a month or two after I
came out of tbe hospital. 1 found my disease was re
turning and I called, by tfae advice of a good friend of
mine, on Dr. Keyser, Who has restored my tight, and my
eyes are nearly as well a* ever. The Doctor gave me
Lindsey's Blood Searcher” and a wash. \

eighteen bottles. She is now quite ont of It, and 1 have
written to her daughter twice and have received no an
