Death and Funeral Obsequies op Lieut. Gmrqk W. Dubley.— lt is our unwelcome duty this week to chronicle the death of Lieutenant George W. Bnrley, son of Mr. John Barley of this place. He died in Washington City on Thurs day last, 26th ult., of typhoid fever. On the breaking out of the rebellion Lieut. B, enlisted in Capt. Bell’s company, of Tyrone, and served a three months’ campaign, as Ist sergeant, i \vi, e n theeamp of instruction was opened at Hnn | tiogdon, he again volunteered in the service of his ‘ country, this time occupying the position of Ist Lieutenant of Captain Brisbin’s company, of the i noth Regiment. The regiment was first assigned in active duty in General Lander’s division, and participated *n several skirmishes under that dffi (fr. After the death of General Lander, the di vl.ion was placed under command of General [ Shields. Onr readers are aware that the 110th | was iu the thickest of the fight at Winchester, and ; it is reported of Lient. Burley that he acquitted Upseif most nobly :bn that occasion. He was with his company in every action which followed. At Front Royal he bore his fall share of the dan ger*, and stood by his men during their retreat Wore the hosts pf “Stonewall’’ Jackson. It is of him that ho never left his company for half a Jav from the time they were mustered into ser- 1 \\Tien attacked with the’disease which tormina i«l his existence, he still refused to leave his post, ! and did not leave it until he fell exhausted on the licld, and had to be carried off in an ambulance.— Alter remaining in the camp hospital a short time he was convinced that he could not soon again lake the field, and he accordingly resigned his po diion and started for home. Arriving at Wash ington city he was so much worse that he was un able to get out of the cats.' He requested to be taken to a private house, not wishing to go to any of the hospitals. A young man who was standing by and heard his request, took an interest in him, and had him convoyed to his boarding house, in a quiet part of the city, where he received even - pos side attention. , - During his illness he sent out and had purchased' for him a dozen of small American Hags which he requested his attendants to so arrange around the sails of his room that, whichever way he turned, his eves might rest upon them, and that when his sim of life might set his eyes shonld last gaze upon : the glorious ensign of his country, under which he had so often rallied, and for the honor of which be had so bravely fought. What a fitting sight on which to close bis eyes forever, and what an evi dence of true patriotism and genuine love for his ramtry, thus to desire to fix his last gaze upon its sacred emblem and give to it his last thoughts np m earth. ' The fatal archer had narked Lieutenant Burley a his victim, and notwithstanding good medical attention and the motherly care bestowed upon hint by the lady of the hpuse, he sunk rapidly, and on 'he fourth day after his arrival in the city, he ■'slept the sleep that knows no waking.” His body was immediately embalmed and placed iaa metalic coffin and sent to this place, where it arrived on Saturday morning last, ft His funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, at * o'clock. The cortege consisted of an escort of infantry, under command of Captain Szink, the Lodge of Odd Fellows, in this place, and a large concourse of citizens, the whole proceeded by the Altoona Brass Bond. The impressive burial ser vices of the Odd Fellows were gone through with at the house and grave, after which the infantry sred the usual number of vollies over the grave.— Lieut. Burley was 28 years of age, and unmarried. Military Company. —An effort is now being made to form a military company in this place, out for some reason or other it appears to be an up Wll business. There are plenty of young men in Altoona to form one or more full companies, yet ad the exertions put forth by Capt. Szink and others liave failed to secure half a company. We imagine one reason, and, perhaps, the principal one, is ' t the young men are afraid they will be styled unday soldiers,” which is equivalent to a charge *' We can't understand why a man * 0 veronteers in the company now about to be “mied, should be any more liable tosnch a charge i the man who does not. The man who puts m a uniform, not intending to go into actual ser ai present, is no more a coward than he who; to join a company lest he should havf to ' to war some time in the future, and the last ..i. w °utd be the only man who would say Soldier.” Almost every large town in C COumi T 1*“ a regularly organized and uni | y com P an yi “nd why should there not be one I itncii, 00115 * 1 var '° us companies and reg 'coffed Lbtladelphia, Lancaster, Harrisburg, &c„ are driip 4 ' < "' crta * n *J’ not - On tlxe contrary they I vaiere ldwt t -s rcadf in case of a pressing Ag^* 11 * 5 ’ *• we **ad some time since,— lriateh WeneCd * miUtal y ( ' orn !« n . v wdo appfo bume f ° nor *° dccease H soldiers who may be seut w -opan°v ! nttnßCnt ' We sho,lld have u uniformed we ho,; 7 th,# Patfoso if nothing more, although n^r\*ol2, We d ° haV<! if ’ “ Ula - V seldom > or I^ ‘"Terfbnn that duty.

The exercises are to commence at 5.45 A. M., and the flag will be run up precisely at 6,o’clock. PROGRAMME. Ist Overture— by Cantata String Band, of Al toona. 2d —Bait Columbia —bv Baud and Choir. 3d —Raising of Flag —by Master Harry Woods, in the character of “Young America ’’—Band and Choir performing “ Star Spangled Banner.” 4th —Reading of Declaration of Independence—'■ by S. M. Woodkok, Esq. sth —Columbia ihe Gem of the Ocean —by Band and Choir. 6th— Adtlress —by D. J. Neff, Esq. 7th—To conclude with “ America ” —by Band and Choir. Mr. Bolek, Conductor of String Band. Mr. Hamilton, Conductor of Vocal Music. From the above it will be seen that the morning exercises in front of i‘Oak Hall ” will be worth at tending, if, In fact, they do not prove to be the most entertaining we have had in this place for years. The proprietor of “ Oak Hall ” certainly deserves credit for his efforts to get up an enter tainment for the people of Altoona, which will cost them nothing more than the loss of a little sleep. McCartney’s Woods will also be the scene of one of the most joyous celebrations of Onr National Anniversary, and all who can appreciate innocent mirth and enervating recreation, freely interspersed witli a liberal share of the “good things” of this life, should not fail to visit Ihe above grounds on that occasion. Ample arrangements have been made to secure the enjoyment of every visitor, and a good time generally may be confidently expected. The “Select Club” will hold their fifth annual picnic in the grove adjoining the Water Works. As thfe members of the club know how to enjoy themselves and make guests do tbe Banie,ithat grove will also be the scene of mirth, pleasure, and an excellent repast. locale’s Woods will be.favored with two celebra tions or picnics, viz. the German Lutheran and German Catholic, and those who attend either, cannot go wrong in the way of finding good eata bles, pleasant' company, and any amount of mirth and “jolly good times.” A Suggestion. —We have a suggestion -to make which we believe will meet the views of ma ny, if not all of our citizens, and it would afford us much pleasure to announce, in our next issue, that it Was acted upon. To-morrow, everybody knows, is the glorious Fourth of July, and we doubt not that already extensive preparations have been made to properly celebrate the eighty-sixth return of the day that made us a nation of free men, rejoicing in liberty and the innumerable blessings attendant upon it. Bnt has it ever oc curred to you, reader, that many of your fellow citizens are now engaged in a terrible, struggle to preserve our liberties and our gffcat nation. They are not here to enjoy with, us. the pleasures which we shall, enjoy. Some may be on the battle-field, others are lying upon beds of aflietion, suffering from wounds received omdiseases contracted in the struggle referred to. Would it not be patriotic and humane in us to divide with our brave and suffering soldiers the delicacies of which we expect to partake. Think how it Would gladden their hearts to be with you, and think, too, how it would gladden the hearts of those sick and suffer ing men, now lying in the various hospitals of our State, away' from home and friends with Whom they are acquainted, to receive a box, or boxes, from Altoona, filled with the good things which the ladies have prepared for the Fourth. Can yon refuse it? Will you refuse it? The Quar termasters of the army are appealing to the people at home for prepared fruits, jellies, cakes, etc., for the sick. Will you let them suffer for want of that which you do not need ? A physician of one of the hospitals of Philadelphia remarked a few days since, that the kinkness of the ladies of that city, and the delicacies provided by them, did the soldiers more benefit than all the physicians in the city coidd possibly do. We liave said more on the subject than, we intended, more we hope than was necessary, but not more than the subject deserves. Shall the suffering-soldiers not receive a share of the delicacies provided for the Fourth by the la dies of Altoona? Those young men who have no ladies to provide cokes for them, can contribute in money, and that will provide other necessaries. Capt. Crozier Wodnded.—ln the list of ca us unities in the late engagement of the right wing of General McClellan's army, before Rich mond, we are sorry to find the name of Captain E. J. Crozier, of this place, noticed as being wonnded in the arm and side, badly. The particulars not being given, we cannot tell whether the wound was from shot or shell. Knowing the dashing bravery of the Captain, and his utter disregard of consequences when placed face to face with his foes, we are not snrprisedthat he was among the first in the list of causuftlties. We hope that his injuries may be less serious than the above would lead ns to suppose. The fact of his being wounded is an indication that his company, recruited in this place and Hollidaysbiirg, was in the action, hnt we do not recognize any of the names pub lished among the wounded of the G2d regiment as being from this county. The command of the company will now devolve on Lieut. Potts. It coaid scarcely fall into better hands^ Additions to Mechanics’ Library.—ln ad dition to the usual periodicals for this month, the Altoona Mechanics’ Reading Boom Associa tion baa added to its already valuable collection the following publications, most of which, it will be seen, bear directly upon the exciting topics Of the times. , “Prison Life in the Tobacco Warehouse at Richmond.” By a Ball’s Bluff Prisoner. “ Harris’ Pictorial Wars of the United States.” “ Life of Bear-Admiral John Paul Jones,” By Hamilton. ; i “ Ely’s Journal of Prison Life Among the Reb- els,” “ Artemus Ward’s Boot;”! “Parson Brownlow’s Book." “The cotton Kingdom.”; ByF. L. Olmstead, “ Three Days in Memphis.” “ Sketches of the Public and Private Life of the Old Egyptians.” “ The Bay Path—A Tale of Colonial Life.” “ Legislative Guide.” “ Life of John Fitch, the Inventor of the Steam boat.” - “ Art Recreations, a Complete Gnide to Orna mental Work.” Excursion Tickets.—Excursion tickets will )>e issued to and from all stations on the Pennsyl vania Roil Rood, on July 4th and oth. Although short, the excursion will still afford an opportunity to pay a hasty visit to friends at a distance, and doubtless will be well improved. Who wab Fbightesed? — A rumor prevailed a few days ago, in a neighboring town, to the effect that the citizens of Altoona were badly frightened by the supposed gloomy aspect of the war news— the tear being that a rebel raid into our own State was an affair rist unlikely to be accomplished, and that Altoona as the main to our great thor oughfare would be the most probable scene of se cession depredation. Now we would like to know who was frightened. Did anybody see the per son that saw the man that heard his neighbor sav that he feared any such thing. For our part we didn't hear nor see anything of the kind, and so long as our citizens study their own interests, as they seem to do, and purchase the necessaries of life at the Cheap Store of Murphy & McPike, cor ner of Virginia and Caroline streets, we think they will never have cause to be frightened at rebel raids or high prices, but on the other hand will havfc good reason to rejoice at their success in se curing better bargains for less money than is to be met with every day in these degenerate times.— Who’s afraid. Pittsburgh Female College. —We are in re ceipt of the Seventh Annual Catalogue of the above institution, from which we learn that the whole number of students attending during the past year was 554. The number in attendance during the spring term, just closed, was 192. Each session shows an increase. It was truly a fortunate circumstance that secured the services of Rev I. C. Pershing, A. M., as President, and professor of mental and moral philosophy. We have before said, and now repeat, that it is one of the best female colleges in the United States, and if any of our readers have daughters, sisters or wards they wish to educate, they can find no more suitable place than the Pittsburgh Female College. Competent teachers are provided for all the depart ments, and every study desired may be pursued.— The regulations of the college are such as to make it a safe place for young ladies, and none are re ceived, or allowed to remain, who do not conform strictly to the rules. Laying of the Corner Stone.—Agreeably to annouucement the corner stone of the new Ger man Lutheran Church, in this place, was laid on Sunday afternoon last, although the rain which began tt> fall about the hour the ceremonies were to commence, caused a material variation in the programme. The discourse to be delivered by Rev. Christ, of Birmingham, was dispensed with, much to the regret of the large concourse of peo ple who had assembled to hear it. The stone was laid by Rev. Schmidt, pastor of the congregation. The box placed in the stone contained, besides the articles such ns wine, bread, etc., usually placed therein, copies of all the late religious jiapers of the denomination, and the county papers, the names of all the ministers in the place and their denominations, and other matters which may prove interesting to the next'generation, should they tear down the edifice, about to be reared, in order to build a better one. Mrs. A.- Vauclain will please accept our thanks for several copies of late New Orleans pa pers. They are rather inferior specimens of what were once the most prosperous jiapers in the me tropolis of the south-west, if not in the Union.— From them we learn that the military command ant of that city regulates the price of provisions for provision dealers, and everything is conducted according to military law. Deliver us from ever being compelled to live under martial law. But they brought it upon themselves and should suffer the consequences. What injury to the country and misery to the people has secession not entailed upon the South ? Extea Fine.—The finest strawberries we have seen this season were placed upon our table, a few days since, by Mr. John Allison. They were on-, tirely different ip shape from the common straw beiry, haring more the appearance of a double berry. One of them, which we measured, was inches in circumference, and three of them measured 11 inches. Mr'. A. obtained the plants last season, and the samples presented us were the first fruits. If: any of our readers hare berries that excel the above .we should like to see them. We may add that the flavor of the berries equalled their size. Thinks. —For several days past wo have en joyed the delightful odor exhaled by a beautiful boquet, composed of flowers of rare beauty and fragrance, the gift of a lady friend in East Ward, who has several times placed us under obligations for similar favors. Thank _you, Mrs. P., we prize such gifts. ' We love flowers, and would love to cultivate them, but, unfortunately, “No foot of laud do we possess. No cottage m this wilderness,” hence, we depend upon the generosity of our lady friends to supply us with these indispensable adorn ments of sitting room and parlor, at this season. Bight.—Wo are pleased to learn that the County Commissioners have decided to fresco the ceiling of the Court Boom in the Court House, at Hollidaysbnrg, This should have been done long since, as the condition of the walls is rather un sightly. We want to see the building fitted up in tynanner to correspond with the standing of the count}-, and we feel sure that no man will object to having a portion of his county tax applied to that purpose. Accident. —One day last week, a little son of Constable Ely was seriously injured by falling from the embankment over the culvert on the Branch B. 8., a short distance below the toll-gate. He fell a distance of fifteen or twenty feet, and alighted upon a pile of stones at the bottom, receiving a severe concussion of the brain and being much bruised about the head and body, but no bones were broken. With careful nursing his physician thinks he will soon recover. ©•The leaves of many peach trees have com menced curling this season, and the fruit of all such has dropped off. It is said that by digging around the roots of the trees, quantities of worms may be found penetrating the bark and seriously damaging the trees. These worms may be de stroyed with lye, &c, and the leaves, after the destruction of the worm is accomplished, will straighten and the young fruit will remain. Notice. —A stated meeting of the “Altoona Mechanics Libraty and Beading Boom Associa tion” will be held in the Library Boom on Thurs day evening Jqly sd, at o’clock. A full atten dance is desired as the new Constitution and By- Laws will lie brought up for adoption. D. -O. DOMER, Stc'y.

So say the boatmen, and they ought to know. Cambria County.—The Democracy of Cam bria county met in convention on the 23d ult., and nominated Robt. L. Johnson, of Ebensbnrg, for State Senator, subject to the decision of the Sena torial Conference. Cyrus L. Pershing, of Johns town, old member, was nominated for the Assem bly. CpA few more, articles are wanted to fill the btox now being packed at Kerr’s store, intended for thje sick and wounded soldiers. Those who have anything to contribute should send it around to the store immediatelv. To the Public !—An experience of six mouths has fully convinced me that the cash system is the .best, both 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 ho grants to sell, and has the use of it immediately.— The consumer also savgs 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. I would first invite attention to my complete selec tion of DBY GOODS, such as Morianta Silks, Black Silks, Ducal*, Reps, Foulards, Schallies, 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, Cottonades, Jeans, &c., for men and boys. A splendid assortment of Boots and Shoes, for ladies, misses, men and boys. A great variety of CABPETS, ranging in price from 12J cents upward. Oil-Cloths of different patterns and prices. Window-Shades, of all styles. Children’s WAGONS, from $3.25 upwards. Spring Wagons only $1.25. 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-Booms, &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 GO 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 everything in that line, 'at Cash Pbices. In the QUEENSWABE 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 GLASSWABE, I have everything mentionable, such ns Fruit Stands, Cake Stands, Jelly Dishes, Preserve Jars, Goblets, Tumblers, 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 buy for cash than on credit; and also, that my stock is worth an examination.
