“Exposure to a Drakt.” — However seriously
some persons may regard the approaching draft,
and however serious. it may be in realitr. there are
those who make light of it, ajnd speak of it in a
humorous way. The notices served by the Dep
uty Marshals have (wen termed invitation? to Lin
coln s Bali. These may be treated as oflittle ac
count, but those who receive tickets of airoission
to the ball, after the drawing is over, will not feel
inclined to make sport over their luck in (hawing.
Since the Marshals have gone their femad rounds'
it is astonishing to learn; how many person? who
have heretofore been considered among the most
able-bodied have become infirm or diseas'd in
some miaculous manner. Spectacles are i« de
mand and the sale of hair dye has bees sus
pended. The following will meet.the cause of many
who are sick from ■
“exposdbe to a draft,”
Of the “Danger of exposure to a Drift*’ we often read
That it generates disorders Which are very had indeed;
Bat the danger from "Exposure to a Draft" was ne'er so
great

Of all our ioyai citizens I think I cannot tell.

One is halt, ai)t one is lilimi, a third is deaf as asy post;
A fourth is gdue in Consumption, and can hardly walk at

A fifth is dying daily from a weakness In the spine.
And a sixth is fading slowly from a general decline.

Publish the List,— We notice tUnt a num
ber of papers are urging the publication of the lists
of those who are subject to militaty duty in the
different wards and districts for the information
of the public. The Chicago Tribune in discussing
the matter says“ Before the draft takes place
from the list of citizens now in preparation, the
list should be printed and thus thrown open to the
inspection of the public. Every loyal man who is
eligible to do military duty wants his name on
that list. And every disloyal'man, who would
steal an exemption, will try* and evade the chances
of thus being drawn, Let us see the list, and see
that it is correct before thedrafting begins. There
is reason to believe that many men will have their
chances of being drawn unfairly heightened by du
plication and reduplication. The names are ta
ken at the place of business in the South division,
and at the residence in the North and West, at
offices and boarding houses and hotels. It is im
jiossible to avoid this among the several officers
making up the list, and the only way to correct it
is vvliat we have stated—print it. This will se
cure the equal distribution of chances to even
name eligible, and surely this is desirable. Let
every man see that his own name is on the list,
and if he has a neighbor 'who is evidently not
equally anxious, it will lie a kindly and certainly a
patriotic act to attend to the same little matter for
him. Print the list, by all means.”
Atteshon Ladies !—Shall we have a “La
dies’ Aid Society” in this place ? Other towns,
not one third as huge as Altoona, have their so
cieties and they are doing an incalculable amount
'of good. Can not our ladies agree to work to
gether ? It) “ration there is strength” and by con
cert of action much more can be accomplished
than, by each acting independently. You have
now still stronger incentives to action than here
tofore, from the fact that many husbands, broth
ers and sons have recently gone into the army
from this place. We make one more appeal.
Can yon not organize and act barmonizingly ?
It on will find it mnch easier to work, if yon have
a regular society, with a President, Secretary and
-Managers. Try it, by all means try it.
■ Baked Tomatoes.— A correspondent of one of
our exchanges says “As the tomato season is
now here, I will give yon my method of baking
tomatoes. Many persons do not know that they
can be used except stewed: or raw. I like them
baked better as follows t After removing the Skin
by pouring water over them; put them in a baking
dish and season by using salt,; pepper, sugar and
butter. A little flpnr and water should be added,
and they should hie baked in a hot oven for an
hour, when they ' well be found delicious and
healthful.”
Fresh Oysters. —What 1 oysters this time of
year? yes air, oysters this time of year, and just as
fine, in size and quality, as you can get .in the
middle of February, can be bad at Josh Williams’
saloon, next door to the bank. We have sampled
them and know whereof we ■ affirm. Josh is al
ways op,to time, if not a little ahead. He will re
ceive fresh oysters regularly, twice a week, hereaf
ter dnriog the season. He,has also a fine lot of
fruit, nuts, confectioneries, cigars, tobacco, and
various styles of driitks-
Escajped. —We learn that a prisoner who was
being conveyed Tennessee to some of the
forts in the East/e&uped from the guards, ortbis
place, on Tuesday evening of last week. There
were a number of prisoners together, under g guard
of four of five.soldiers, and while passing from the
Altoona. House to the cars, the one referred to
managed to moke his escape through the crowd.—
One of the guard returned to look for him the
next day, but did not find or bear tell of him.
: Eves Wejxoxe.— -We neglected last week to
notice that our floral friend, David M. Qrecn, had
placed us under obligations for another of those
ever welcome boqnets which bis garden and flower
pots supply. He has taken much care in the se
lection of his plants and seeds* and has, perhaps,
the finest collection of flowers in this section Of the
country. We do not eiivy him his collection, hm
we wish we bad one like it. ,

way to do things.
Leg Smashed.—A hoy, whose name we could
not leant, had the fleshy part of one of his legs
badly' smashed, on Tuesday last, by being caught
between the bumpers whilst attempting to cross
over a twin of cars.
For the Altoona Tribune.
Our Public Schools.
The Public Schools of this Borough opened on
Monday morning last for a term of nine months.
We visited all the rooms in the East Ward on
Monday, and those of the West Ward on Tuesday,
and met m all some 430 smiling faces. In the
opening scenes, all seemed to go “ Merry as a
marriage belle, " and we predict, from the known
capacity of the teachers, and brightness of the
scholars, marked advancement in aff" ilfose who
are punctual iin attendance and attentive to duty.
Upon the teachers of these schools, as well as
upon teachers everywhere, reals a great responsi
bility. To jdtem ate committed, to receive and
polish, the brightest gems of each household.—
They are to train minds in such a manner that
they may be|capable of the greatest amount of en
joyment during the journey of life. They are to
train those committed to their charge, to be orna
ments to socjety—to be useful in the world—to be
loyol-hearted men and women—to be subject to the
powers that tie. In a word, to be American Citi
zens. And jast, but not least, they are to train
them for eternity. May our teachers use every
effort to accomplish these desirable restilts.
But parents, we do not wish you to think that
When your children’s faces are washed, and they
started to school the first , morning of the term,
that your duty is done. And do not sqlace your
selves with the idea that for the next nine months
the responsibility of your children’s ignorance, or
bad conduct, rests entirely upon the teacher. You
have a work to do, and fearful will be your pun
ishment if you do not do it. When those children
are at home, you should urge them on In their
studies. Your parental authority should be exer
cised in restraining their bad conduct, and espe
cially should you prohibit them from indulging in
that entirely too common practice, of spending
all their hours—except sleeping and school hours
—upon the 'streets. Tis there, vety often, that
they receive j seeds of bitterness, which pfterwatd
spring up, and bear only thorns to pierce the pa
rent’s heart. '
But mother important duty you have to per
form, i« to see that your cblhtreß are punctual in
their attendant*. We sometimes hear parents
say, “what difference is it if our children are not
present just at the appointed hour in the morning ?
or if they Should happen to miss a day now and
then ?" Wo answer, it makes a vast difference.—
By way of illustration we ask, what difference
would it make if every second or third layer of
hrick the mason Jays, he would place no mortar
between them, pr ifbuld frequently leave a brick
entirely out? Would his wall he a good one?—
And if this were the case in one wall of a building,
would not the whole building be in danger of suf
fering?
Just so it is with irregular attendance at school.
Scholars have missed a recitation, which would
have bournl the lessons of yesterday to those Rf
to-day, like the bricklayers mortar,binds his bricks
together. Or, having missed a whole day, a brick
is left oat—a link in the chain is wanting. Them
is no connection and the little bit* of information
they receive, is thrown into a brain which becomes
as irregular as they are. In fact their minds be
come mere lumber rooms in which are stowed
away a vast number of fragments entirely worth
less.
We will only add one more duty', which we feel
to be indumbent upon the parent, and that is, visit
the stdtools. Do not be afraid that your presence
will do an injury there. Your children will study
all the better for knowing that you take some in
terest in them. Every visit of parents to the
school room is like a shower upon the thirsty
kmd—both welcome and refreshing. Then visit
the schools, and add your mite in this manner to
making men of your sons and women of your
daughters.
And to the Ministers- ot the Gospel, we would
aay, you can find something there to claim your
attention, which tee think not out of the line of a
Christian ministers duty. Moke Anos.

has fully convinced me that the cash system is
the best, both for merchant and consumer. It ena
bles the merchant to sell at one-half less pbofit
and make more clear money, with less trouble titan
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 fhe 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 a
certain per centage, which must lie itiadc 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 oj (loads ever brought to Altoona. I
would first invite attention to my complete selec
tion ot DRY GOODS, such as Morianta Silks,
Black Sills, Dncals, Reps, Foulards, Schallies,
Delaines, Poplins, Debeges, 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 bovs.
A great variety of CARPETS, ranging in price
from 12} cents upward. Oil-Gloths 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 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
cents. Sugars, at 9, 10, II and 11} cents per lb.
Coffee, Tea, Spices, Salt, Fish, Soap, Candles,
and everything in that line, at Cash Prices.
In the QUEENSWABE 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 Stands, Cake Stands,
Jelly Dishes, Preserve Jars, Goblets, Tumblers,
&c.. &c.
I would respectfully invite the pnblic 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 than on credit; and also,
that my stock is worth an examination.

These Cam and Jars, being perfectly simple In their ar
rangement, and requiring no cement or solder to make
them Air-Tight, are the most reliable and convenient Tea
sels for preserving fruits and vegetables of all kinds, that
arc in the market.
TIIKY POSSESS THE FOLLOWING ADVANTAGES:
Ist. All that is required after the fruit has been put in
hot, u simply to screw tho top down tightly.
2d. They can be opened by a single tnrn of tliu cover,
aud the contents taken out In one-fourth the time required
by other cans.
Besides their simplicity and ease of adjustment, ami
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 gnm is concave the fruit Is good •
if convex, the fruit is going to spoil, but will always show
itself in time to bo saved.
Directions.
Beat the Jam or p ace an iron spoon In them while fll'-
ing, which will avoid cracking. .. Aflat the Jars are (bll.
take out the apoon or iron, and ncew down the cap tight.
(are should be taken to replacetme same covers on the
same Jars from which they wvre taken.
To restore the gums that have been used, to their origi
nal shape, put them in hot water for one hour.
