Iscoqnitio. — On Wednesday morning last,
jiioiit the time we bad given up oil hopes of rc r
wiving a Christmas turkey, and had become rec
oiled to a printer’s every-day dinner, who should
■poke his nose in” at the door, but our clever
■•inking Valley friend, “Old Joe” Metzgar,—
While it gave us pleasure to get a sight of his
: tiiz, his back was equally attractive, as upon it
•riied two monster turkeys. They were noue of
~ntr small fry turkeys, kind reader, as the weight
rill convince you. Now remember, they were
iressed in market style, and weighed respectively
land 17 pounds, consequently were worth, at the
market price, (9 cents per pound) $1.35 and $1.56.
■v, oar Christmas dinner was not tnrkeyless. Part
: the story remains to be told. On questioning
a: old friend as to the name of the donor, he in
dued us that “mum” was the word, consequently
i-are unaware who played us this last “fowl”
nik. but knowing by his actions that he is sur
rieml, wc hope to be able, at some future day to
-j ar him. if we have not already done so.
Another.-r" It never rains but it pours,” is an
,io sajing. and was verified in our case, on Wed
nesday last. Shortly after the departure of our
Nuking Valley friend,--another friend, not far out
, ; ton'll, but who insists upon remainingincog to
be public, lyft with us a flue young turkey, fat-
Mied expressly for the printer. He has our
tanks ami a place in our memory. Printers
■.ter forget those who do not forget them about
to holidays.
~r: li. Another. —A young friend, whose name
i.'oill be nameless at present, called upon us the
■sine day, and inquired whether we would carry
ume a small package. Always willing to oblige,
■c replied in the affirmative. When we,called
. the package, what should he hand over but a
ac big turkey. We. were taken
irrily credit our eye?.' On being assured that all
■ n right, wc accepted the package, done up in
lathers instead of paper, and got it home—on a
an. probably, and probably we walked—anyhow
w got it borne; but all the above was e’en a most
' much for one day. We arc not now in a fit
trillion to sympathize with our brothers of the
(dll who look their Christmas dinners without
wkev. :
A Mew Year’s Present.—We are indebted
our young friend, William McDowell, of Lo
-a - township, for a fine slice of venison from the
ari .quarter of a white deer, shot by George B.
oxkson, (who was hooting in company with Mr.
McDowell) Chistmas day, in the “Kettle,” near
■js place. White deer are sometimes seen by
Mters in this region, but they are very scarce.
oae horn which our slice was cut was a three
car old buck — all .white .but his feet and ears,
f Nich were of the common greyish color. We

’fwere not forgotten, and onr labor, often hard,

altogether in vain; and we are encouraged to

At Home.—lt is with unfeigned pleasure we
announce that Cap'. C. R.! Hostetler, of Co. D,
125th Begt., has so far recovered!as to be able to
visit his many friends in this plat*. He arrived
here on Friday night last, i His wound (through
the right hip), has healed up, hot he is still lame,
and will not be lit for duty for* some time to come.
Barring his lameness, lie is otherwise well and
hearty, and expresses his desire to return to his
comitiand as soon as his physician shall pronounce ]
it safe for him to do so. When we met him, in
Hagerstown Hospital, after the battle of 1 Antie
tam, we scarcely hoped to see him on our streets
again, but Providence has ;ordered otherwise, and
we are thankful. - Bbould he be able to resume
his command again) we hope be may come out of
future battles more safely than he did at Antietam,
and with equal honor.
Losses nr the Sixtt-Second.—We leant that
the 62d Regiment, Col. Hull, lost sixty-nine in
killed and wounded at Fredericksburg. The re
giment numbered 600 men. We find, in the
Pittsburg Chronicle, the following list of the killed
and wounded, in Company M, Captain Crozier,
which is from this neighborhood:
Lieut. Potts, Acting Adjutant, killed: Lieut.
Murray, wounded, slightly, foot; ,J. Smith, face;
John Long, knee; Edward McCabe, hand; Mi-i
chael McGane, hand; Peter Abbott, leg;Freder
ick Winsel. |
Melancholy Occurrence.— -On Thursday
evening last as a party were proceeding home from
,a spelling school, which had been .held at Fouse’s
School House, in Huston tp.,Ja man by the name
of Christian Acker, who has been nt the habit of
carrying a pistol, and firing-.it for amusement,
discharged the weapon, and the contents, by acci
dent, lodged in the back of n young lady, also
.named Acker. It is thought -that the wound will
prove fatal. This is another sad accident result
ing from carelessness.— Register.
Look out for our carrier, on New Year’s
mom. He will have a tip-top address, which he
will exchange with his patrons for halves, quar
ters or dimes, and they will find it worth the
poney. Give Sam a “bumper.”
Notice.—A meeting for the election of officers
of the Altoona Mechanics’ Library and R. R. As
sociation for the year 1868, will be held on Thurs
day, January Ist 1863, between the hoars of 61
and 8 o’clock P M. A full attendance is earn
estly requested. D. D. DOMER, Sec’y.
Take Notice.—Kerr has jqst'received a large
lot of new currants, large and seedless raisins
which he sells cheap.
Also a great lot of sperm candles, which he
arils at 25 cts. per pound, which brings them full
one-half cheaper than oil or tallow candles.
Once more we say to our friends, when you huy
for cash do not overlook the fact that he sells
cheaper than any honse this side of the city.

; Circular from the Cash Store I— The sub
scriber would respectfully announce to the public
that he has just returned from-' the East with his
stock of FALL AND WINTER GOODS,
which he will sell, as usual, at a very smalf ad
vance -on cost, FOB CASH ONLY’. He is un
able to give a price list owing tp the daily fluctua
tions in the market.
His stock is the heaviest and most complete ever
brought to the place, and having been purchased
at the very lo west cash prices, will be sold at prices
which- make it to the interestof cash buyers to
call and examine his stock and be convinced that
he can and does sell a little cheaper than any
credit establishment.
He would call particular attention to -his large i
stock of DRY GOODS, Embracing all the latest
and MOST DESIRABLE STYLES OF LA
DIES’ DRESS GOODS to be found in the East
ern market. A full assortment of fancy and plain
Flannels and Shirting; and excellent supply
of Linen and Muslins. dozens of patterns of Ladies’
| and Gent's Gloves, all styles of Hosiery, with the
most complete selection of Shawls ever exhibited
in this market; any amount pf Nubias, Opera
Hoods; Ladies'Patent Vests, and a tremendous
pile of Austine, Kelly & Cjo.'s Patent Hoop Skirts,
ranging from four to fifty springs, which will be,
sold at least 25. per cent, under present market
price. ’
Our stock of GROCERIES is complete and
selling a few cents below other, establishments.—
Our Syrups range from 40 to 70 cents per gallon.
We would invite particular attention ; to onr large
stock of Government coffee, bought before the late |
heavy advance, which we sell at 20 Cento per lb.
It is far superior to any of the substitutes lately in
vented. We have also a heavy stock of TEAS,
ranging in price from 60 centis per pound upwards.
' Our stock of CHINA, GLASS add DELPH
WARE is the largest, fbost varied add best ever j
offered to the people of this Section. ! It is really
beautiful. An examination Of ‘our “Show Win

we are not “ puffing) our ware. - The China Ware
embraces Tea Sets tanging in price from $l2 to
$2O. Flower Vases, Mags and ; other ornaments.
The Glass Ware embraces eveiytbin£ and eveiy
style of manufacture. Owing to the late advance
we cannot now sell the celebrated Wedgewood
Iron Stone Tea Sets for less than $4.75 per set, ‘
which is $1.25 below the selling price elsewhere.
I am now fully convinced that the CASH SYS
TEM is the test for lioth sieller and buyer, ena
bling me to stfff cheaper, without loss, and giving
my customers a better article, add more of it, for
the same money, than they get at any other es
tablishment. But argument on this point is su
perfluous. The reason why I can jell cheaper
than credit establishments must fie apparent to all

on the farm of Mr. Samuel Leidy. In the mom

and other mishaps during her night wanderings.
Fortunately the night was moderate, or had it been

I Rebel ' Fhisonkks ■ Refusing to be Ex
i changed.— About three hundred .rebel prisoners
| recently brought from LaGrange to Cairo. Illinois,
declared their unwillingness to be exchanged.—
Some of them affirmed they would rather die than
go back to rebcldom. They were forced into the
rebel army in the first place, and expect to be
forced into it again if they returned. Among them
-were some two hundred Germans, who expressed
a desire to join the armies of the Union. Those
who do not join the army wish to go north and
find work. Gen. Tottle has written to Gov. Yates
on the subject, and it is presumed that those wish
ing to join the army, at least would be permitted
to do so. There would seem a peculiar hardship
in forcing them back into the rebel ranks. Their
case had excited .much interest, and there is a
strong probability, gays the JUmoi* State Journal,
that Gov. Yates’ answer would be favorable. The
Cairo correspondent of the St. Louis Deuiocrat as
serts that many of the prisoners taken to Vicks
burg and exchanged, have expressed a desire to
remain here, but the policy had been to send them
down and redeem Federal soldiers with them.
These facts contribute to corroborate the decla
rations we printed a few days since, that the feel
and the attachments of the Germans are strongly
in favor of and wedded to the Union—the Gov
ernment—Freedom!
A Distressing Bebeavememt. —A most dis
tressing bereavement—one of those visitations of
Divine Providence which seem almost too hard to
bear—occurred in the family of Josiah Custer, of
Taylor township, last week,’ It was the death of
Jive children within three days, from that scourge
of the family circle, Diptheria. The names and
ages, with the date of their death, of the buried
little ones are as follows:
Priscilla, died December 17th, aged 3 rears, 4
months and 12 davs.
Maty Ann, December 17th, aged 5 years, 3
months and 21 days.
Elizabeth, same day, aged 8 years, 10 months
and 10 davs.
Mary Martha, December 18th, aged 10 years,
10 months and 26 davs.
Susannah, December U»th, aged 7 years and 8
davs.
\\ hat adds tQ. the sorrowful nature of this al
most unprecedented fatality in one family, is the
fact that the father of these little ones i's in the
army—having been among the unfortunates upon
whom the draft took effect—and is now at Suffolk,
Virginia. —Johnstown Tribune.
LorAL Indian Brigade. —The Secretary of
Wat-has authorized the Indian bureau to raise two
additional Indian regiments, for service as a
11 Home Guard,” in Southern Kansas and the In
dian Territory. These regiments, when otganized,
will be incorporated with the three loyal Indian
regiments already in the field, and the whole force
consolidated into a brigade, which will probably
be commanded by Judge Ewing, who atjtresent is
colonel of a Kansas regiment. The command
will be further augmented by the addition of two
regiments of white troops. With this force the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs thinks the Indian
Territory may be cleared of armed rebels, and the
supremacy of the government again restored
among the Indian tribes in that region of country.
The Indian regiments all be officered by white of
ficers; Captains of companies will abobewhite
