A Habd Case, —We hare information of a ta«? which recently occurred al Blair Furnace, a soon distance below this place, which appears very jßr d and yet we cannot blame the citizens of. that I'AiUitv. The case is as follows: Erastus Kinsel talisted in Captain Bell’s company, 125th Regi ment, and at the battle of Antietam received five i»«unds. After remaining in the Hospital for :»me time he was allowed to come home to get R eil. Having almost entirely recovered .from his «oands he contemplated taking his place in lie ranks, fiat a couple of weeks since be con ned that loathsome and dreaded disease— ‘mall-pox—and died on Sunday morning last. I P to the time of this writing (Tuesday .noon) he oas not been buried, nor has any one gone to *» place tb attend to that duty, ; conse iwntly his remains lie in the house with his lartily just as he died. It is sickening, and ap pears inhuman, when we view the case and think trn? situation of his family, and yet wo. cannot l iarae (hose who have never had the disease for w going to inter him, as it would he almost cer ;an contagion, bat we think there might be found ‘liore who have passed through it who would be ’’dim* to undertake the task. **#“ On Thursday evening last, the Rational l - " 1 ™ League of Altoona, was addressed by Judge fay lor, of Huntingdon, and Hon.

He had been drinking and had fallen once or twice, so that his elegant toilet was now moat inelegantly disarranged. Still he was not drunk, by no means. It was the street commissioner's fault there were so many ob stacles in the way How could lamps burn brightly in such a smoky atmosphere? He would complain to the mayor, to- morrow morning, and have Watchy removed for insulting him. Show him to his lodgings? He was paid to mind his own business, and not for troubling gentlemen. The watchman, however, guided him home, assisted him in finding the key-hole, and departed, sining lustily, j, "‘Past twelve o'clock, and a cloudy morn ing !" , Late in the morning Delamere woke up with a bad headache—a parching thirst—a sense of weak ness—loneliness. The boarders were all gone out. The servants were busy. He washed in cool water, drank copiously of the healthy beverage —met the landlady inr the hall, who, instead of scolding, mildly said, “I am glad your mother did not see you last night.” “So am I!’’ he lightly said, bat the expression was like a dagger in his heart. He was then ap object of pity. At dinner, some of the boarders jeered him, some cautioned him, a few advised him to persevere until he became mure seasoned. Turning to one who was his friend indeed, he asked him what be would advise in this interesting cose. “Sign the pledge,” bis friend blnntly replied. This was received with laughter by all the rest. “Oh ! yes,” said one, sighing ; “we have np confidence in your resolu tious.” “Does your mother know you are out?” sneered a second. ‘‘The pledge has a magic power,” exclaimed a'third; “it is much more binding than your word of honor.” “Sign,” said his friend earnestly. Yes, do,” added the land lady. “ I will,” he exclaimed, “ this very night, at the meeting." AlLwere silent now they knew his resolve was taken. J. S. MANN, Sic, }jro. tern. “How didyou get home last night?” jocularly asked the doggery keeper, as Delamere passed his door in the evening. “ Your business is infernal," replied Delamere; “ you drained me last night of twenty-five dollars, and then sent me home unat tended, caring not whether I was lodged in the watch-house :or crushed by the locomotive. How did you treat other victims?” Boniface was taken aback. Had he been a man, snch a speech would have excited repentance, or brought on a fight, but such creatures are half fiends, so he merely remarked, “Codie in and take adrink; we are all friends here.” “Drop the r from the word friends,"contemptuously added Delamere, “and you accurately describe your crew.” Delamere signed the pledge, and would have kept it against all. temptations save one. On earth no influence save one could have shaken his resolve. Poor fellow. Ope being could overcome any res olution of his. Delamere was in love! Ope of the prettiest and; spnghtliest of Eve's daughters had woven a net of silk and gold around bitn. and might have led him anywhere ! This beautiful creature bad heard that her lover had signed the pledge, and was proof against all temptation, and conceived in her silly heart the desire to show her influence over him was paramount. “Take a glass of wine with me Delamere,” she suddenly said, at a patty ; “ I feel fatigued." “My dear, 1 cannot in honor; for I have signed the pledge.” “Can not! Fiddlesticks! do you think I would ask you to do anything unreasona ble ?” Neither of these young creatures werp aware of the fact, but amidst all those lamps, devils waited the result. Good angels gathered anxiously around the sideboard. She drew him reluctantly to the fata) spot, and while the fiends gibbered, arid the angels made signs of warning, she poured ont the deadly portion. They drank. In one moment she relented of her triumph, fur he instantly filled again, saying, “ Drink now to my dishonor ! J Laughingly he led her jo a seat, and poured ont all the eloquence of love in praise of beauty and wine. She became restless, feigned illness, and he took her home. Returning, the old landlord espied him. No resistance now! His taste was excited; Honor no longer guarded the portal. Late at night the watchman assisted him to his lodgings. I Next tgorning, nothing but liquid fire woidd drown bis conscience, flis career was rapidly downward. The lady,: what of her? Ye angels and fiends who witnessed the temptation, what of her? All ladies who read this article, as yon fear God, and love humanity, sign the pledge.— Prabj/tenan Banner. ’ ■ Punishment of Soldiers.—Gen.

Kktixk :—I take pleasure in making Ibis vol notary statement In favor pf a medicine prepared by yon called “ Limit's Blood Sasicra.” I bad suffered for five years with Scrofula which broke out on my head and forehead so as to disfigure me very much* and took off the hair when the disease made its appearance; it also broke out on my arm above and below the elbow, and eat iota the •kin and fieeh so as to expose a fearful sort. The disease on my head went so far that several small pieces of bone came oot. 1 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 ** Likdsit’s Ik peovxd Blood BxAicaia.” I most confess I bad no feith in patent medicines, bat after I bad used three bottles ol Blood Searcher) the nleers on my head and arm began to heal. I have now taken eight or ten bottles, and my bead and arm are entirely Well except the scare 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. lam now a well man, over forty years of age, and I feel as suple and young as I did when I was twenty, and have increased in weigfatjwenty pounds. I would also state that the disease in my forefaeard was so bad that when I stooped and lifted anything heavy, the blood ran oat of the sore. Dr. Keyset bad a photoggapb taken ot me by Ur. Cargo, the artist, after I began to get well. It does not show my appearance as bad as it was before I commenced taking the medicine. Yon 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 1 took the Blood Searcher which was made be fore Dr. Keyset commenced making it. Although it helped me some, 1 did not recover tot until I got the kind made by Dr. Keyset himself.' One bottle of bis 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 a great many of my friends for various dis* ..eusee, and I believe it has helped the whole of them. You may publish this if yon wish, and I am anxious that all who are afflicted as I was may beenred. I live in this city.
