A Nef.dkd Reform.— lt is a fact not credi
table to the citizens of Altoona, that one-half of
them do not know the name of the' street upon
which they reside. This, however, is not so
much their fault as the? error of the person or
persons who gave the streets their names. It
was certainly a great mistake vto name them all
after ladies’. The difficulty in remembering
them, even after you have learned them a dozen
times, is experienced by our .people and is the
remark of every stranger. While there is diver
sity in name there is too ‘ much sameness ift
association. To be able to remember location and
name streets readily, they should have familiar
and distinctive names. Three or four of our
streets are now pretty well ; known, because of
their containing the principal part of the business
bouses and being often referred to. These are
Branch, Main, Virginia and Annie. These
might remain unchanged.' They embrace: suffi
cient in the-line of ladies’ names not to create
confusion.
JVe have several times been-'requested to refer
to this matter, but put it off from week to week,
until we are now convinced that if the people of
Altoona are ever to bo able to 'give an intelligible
answer to strangers dr each other, as to the streets
and residences, there must be a change of some
kind. We hope onr citisens Will agitate the
subject and insist upon the Town Council making
an effort to remedy the Let names which
will be more readily remembered and easily pro
nounced be given to the streets not napned above.
Another idea has been suggested, which we
. think would greatly assist in fixing names and
places in the minds of all, and as we expect this to
be albig town, if nofa city, in the course of time,
the matter should be attended to at once. We refer
to the numbering of thwhouses: Suppose we lake
the Railroad North and South,: and Annie street,
East and West, as the dividing or centrelines
and number the houses from them, increasing in
either direction. We wdnld then have North and
Sonth Virginia and Eastland IWest Annie, and so
ofall other streetsrunning parallel with them. —
The only objection we can see' to nnmbering the
houses !* the fact that the squares are not all filled
np,and that when vacant lots ans built upon it would
.necessitate changes in numbers. We think even
this objection nyght be overcome by the following
sybtem. Allow two numbers to each lot in the
business part of the town, and i one nnmber to a
lot on the sheets: containing private residences.
Thus when there is a vkcant lot on a square, let
one or twonnmbers be dropped, as the case may
be, to be supplied when the Idt shall have been
built up. If there be more thanr two doors on a
lot, on business squares, let half numbers be sup
plied, and the same on private streets when there
is more than one door on a lot. By this system
every person would readily associate the name of
the street with the number of their residence and
localities would soon become familiar, and when
a person is asked when he or she lives, instead of
replying “on Annie street, abbve the Superinten
dent's office, nearly opposite the Lockup, in John
Doe’s house,” the answer! will be “24 Annie
Street.’’ How reach more readily and explicit.
The numbers would cost.bnf a trifle and evety
landholder, or even the tenant could afford to
Affix them.

aubject, ui a deslre to see thing* started right at

Disastrous Firs.— On Tuesday night of last
week our citizens were called from their beds,
about one o'clock, by the ringing of the fire bet!
and cry of fire. So’ much headway had thh ■flames
attained, ere they were discovered, that when the
alarm was given there wasno difficulty in locating
the conflagration, which, wag at Flack’s store near
the cofiS of Virginia and Annie streets. When
we arrived on the ground the store building was
in flames and fire had been to the
tenant houses of Mr. Flack to the NtmKand Mr.
Hodnett to the South'. The heat and fierceness of
the flames from the burning store were increased
by a lot of some 2,000 haras, which were in the
upper story and a lot of liquors in the cellar.—
The doable tenant hoqse adjoining the store on
the North was occupied by J. \V. Humes, Esq.,
and Mr. King. So quickly did the flames spread
through the building that Mr. Humes, who occu
pied the part adjoining the store, had hardly time
to get ont a few matters on the first floor and a
bed or two on the second floor. Lieut.: J. S. .Camp
bell and wife boarded with Mr. Hemes and occu
pied an attic’ixxik. Lieuf. C. was absent at the
time. Mrs. Campbell barely escaped bv throwing
on the first dress upon which , she could lay her
hands. Everything belonging to herself and
husband was 'burned excepting the clothes she
had on and her gold watch* which some persqn
picked np in l her room just as she went our. In
Mr. King’s }«rt of the house almost everything
was removed ere the flames reached them, but
many things were more or less damaged and scat
tered around on the street and in neighboring
houses. Adjoining the tenant houses was the
residence of Mr. Flack. This also took fire and
necessitated liic removal of all the household
gotxls. Ere the fire reached it, it was discovered
that it could not be saved and everything was
removed out in time. Mr. Flack was absent, at
Pittsburgh, at -the time. The goods in other
houses, in tha(%iirection, were also removed, but
by good management the fire was prevented from
extending any further down street.
The double 1 ramc building of Mr. Hodnett, on
the corner of Virginia and Annie streets was en
tirely consumed. The half of it adjoining_Plaok's
store was occupied by Mrs. Rigg as a hoarding
house. The tire having originated in the back
part of the store, the flames soon communicated to
this building, and although every effort was mode
to get out the goods, many articles of clothing, and
bedsteads, were in back rooms and on the
attic, were burned. The corner half of the house
was occupied by Misses M. & E. Hickey as h jnil
linefy store and dwelling, and by Dr. E. Tcitze
as an office and dwelling. The Misses Hickev
and Dr. T. succeeded in getting out most, if not
all of their goods, but not without hiring them
more or less damaged. '
By tearing away the stables and back buildings
on the rear of the lots and keeping the buildings
wet. the fire was prevented from extending up
Annie street.
So far as wo can ascertain, nothing but the
books and papers of Mr. Plack were saved front
the store. As before mentioned, the upper storv
of the store building was filled with bams and the
cellar stored with liquors and groceries. We have
not heard him estimate his loss, but understand
that be has an insurance of some $lO,OOO on the
store and buildings. Mr. Hodnett’s loss is in the
neighborhood of $4,000 bn which he has an
insurance of $2,000.
The loss fulls most heavily on Squire Humes.
He lost the most ami had no insurance on his per
sonal property. The loss to Mrs. iflgg is also heavy
but she has more resources.
By this disaster, eight families are thrown out
of houses. They hare all been kindly taken in
by their neighbors, and their goods stored in va-'
cant rooms here and' there. Considering the
scarcity of houses, in the town, there not being a
vacant one in the town that we know of, it will
be difficult for them to get to housekeeping again.
We now come to speak of "the'doings of the
Good Will Fire Engine and the men who manned
her on this trying occasion. It is admitted by all
that she never did better work since she came to
the place,’and she Would done still better had
there been hose enough to supply her with a full
head of water. She was managed to the very best
advantage bv the skillful firemen who had charge i„ Hat™.... ~.. '—

Served Him Right. —The Pittsburgh \inzette
says;—"A rough looking customer, whose name
we could not learn, had the effrontery to hurrah
for Jeff. Davis this afternoon, while the rebel
prisoners were changing cars on liberty street.—
One of the officers of the guard, S. W. Cunning
ham, Lieutenant .of the 6,3 d Ohio Infantry, at
once seized the fellow and hustled him into the
nearest car, declaring that he should go east
along with his rebel friends.
The fellow resisted, but a bayonet punch had
the effect to bring him to submission, and be
entered the car wilhout further difficulty. The
rebel soldiers at once tiegan to make sport of him,
asking hint if he was a copperhead, whether he
would bite, eel. He was left in the car, and is
now, perha|is. in Fort Delaware.”
Fire. — The house mid bam of Jacob C.
Hoover, of Fluey Creek, Blair county, was burned

CASE OF DANIEL A. BOYD^
Pittbbdbgb, December SI, 1161,
Da, O. It. Kktser : —I take pleasure in making this vol
untary statement in favor of a medicine prepared by you
called Li.vdsli’s Blood S larch lx,” I bad suffered for
five years with Scrbfula which broke out on my bead anil
forehead so aa to disfigure me very much, and took, off the
hair when tjte disease made its appearance; it also broke out
on my arm above and below the elbow, and eat into the
skin and flash so as to expose a fearful sore. The disease,
on my bead; went so far tint several small pieces of bone
came out. ' 1 was very week and low spirited, : and had
given opal] hope of ever getting well, aa I had tried sev
eral skillful physicians and they did me no good. In Bep
teoiber last, IS6I. I was induced to try " I-ixdsly's Ist
™oT» Blood Ssarchie.” I must confess I had.no faith
in patent medicinee, but after I had used three bottles of
Blood Searcher, the ulcers on my head and arm began to
heal. I have now taken eight or ten bottles, and ray beat!
and arm are entirely well except the scars remaining from
the Sores. I will also state that I had the rhefamatiszu
very bad in my arms and legs. The Blood Searcher also
cured the rheumatism. lam now a well man, oy*r forty
years of age, and 1 feel as suple and young as. I did when
I was twenty, and liaae increased in weight twenty pounds.
E would also state tltat the diseaae in my to reheard was so
bad that when I Stooped W lifted anything heavy, the
blood run out of the sore. Dr. Keyser bad a photograph
taken oi me by Mr. Cargo, the artist, afier I began to gel
well. It does not show my appearance as bad as; it was
before 1 commenced taking the medicine. You can see
rite photograph, one of which Is now in my possession,
anti also at Dr. Keyser’:: 140 Wood street. I would also
?t ate chat 1 took the Blood Searcher which was marie be
fore Dr. Keyser commenced making it. Although it
helped me some, I did not recover fait9ntil I got the kind
made by Dr. Keyser himself. One bottle of bis 'did me
more good than two of the old. I believe it is a great deal
stronger and better. 1 havp recommended the Blood
Searcher to a great malty of my frieuda for various dis
eases, and I believe it has helped the whole of them. You
may publish this if you wish, and I 'am anxious that all
who are afflicted as I was maybecured. I live in this city.

A BLIND MAN CURED,
I live In Sligo, at Clinton Mill and have beendear]y
blind in both eyes for nearly four yean. I called on Dr.
Keyser ab- ut three months ago and asked him to give me
directions t« the Institution for the Blind la Philadelphia
lie told me that I need nut go to Philadelphia to get well
as he had medicine that would core me, as he said toy dis
ease wasdn the blood. 1 was treated tor it two or three
times in the hospital in this city, and was relieved, but
my disease always returned after a month or twoafler 1
cafoe ont of the hospital. I found my disease was re
turning and I called, by the advice of a good friend ol
mine, on Dr. Keyser, who has restored thy sight, and my
eyes are nearly as well as ever. The Doctor gisve mt
