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;

■ Celebration of toe Fourth. —Tbe following
is the programme for the celebration of the glori
ous Fourth, at Oak Hall, 6n Main Street. 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.

G. W. PATTON, P. M
Progressing Rapidly.—The good work of
rebuilding the locks and bridges and deepening the
canal between Hollidaysburg and Huntingdon.—
All the improvements making are of the roost sub
stantial and durable kind, and when completed the
‘'ditch” will be in better condition than it ever
was. 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,

Poor disconsolate mother! how onr heart goes out in

thee in thy distress as Ho only can console those arho

Johnny well, and Justice to his memory requires him to
say that he was an honest and Ikithful boy, and one who
was peculiarly free from those bahefal consequences which
evil associations are bringing upon so many yon Urn of the

mother and sisters, and his untimely death creates a sad
void in an until new happy household. May he rest In

HUTETT FRIDLEY'S PATENT.
These Cans and Jars, being perfectly simple in their it*
rangement, and requiring no cement or solder to make
them Air-Tight, are the most reliable and convenient ves
sels for preserving fruit* and vegetables of all kinds, that
are in the market.
they possess the following advantages:
lit. All that is required after the Unit has been put in
hot, is simply to screw the top down tightly.
2d. They can he opened by a single turn of the cover,
and tlie contents taken out in one-fourth the time required
by other cans. -
3d. Besides their eimpl'city »nd ease of adjustment, and
impossibility of stoppers blowing out, they show at all times
the exact condition of the fruit, by simply looking at the
top of the cover; if the gum is concave the fruit is good;
if convex, the fruit is going to spoil, but will always show
itself in time to be saved.
Directions.
Heat the Jars or p ace an iron spoon in them while fill
ing, which will avoid cracking. After the Jars are full,
tsice ont the spoon or iron, and screw down the cap tight.
Care should be taken to replace the same covers on the
same Jars from which they were taken.
To restore the gums that have been nsed, to their origi
nal shape, put them in hot water for one hour. :
