lioßßEßr.—On Sunday night last, the raer
, iiant tailoring establishment of Thomas El way,
,n Brain's How, was entered through ope of the
jinrit windows amUi considerable quantity of made
„|i clothing and several faeces of cloth and vest
liil's carried off. On the discovery of the robbery,
„ii Monday morning, there was no.cine to the
hut daring the day a chisel bearing
die stamp of the Penn’a iR. R. Co. was: found on
die street in front of the qtore. 69 comparing’ it
idi the marks on the j window shutter it was
I.mad to be the article used in forcing it. The
. idscl had evidently been taken from the tool box
■ ■ a ear. standing on the siding, which was broken
mjvii the same night. Suspicion then fell upon a
. ■uiple of unknown darkies who were seen loiter
ing around the railroad all day on Sunday, but
,1 lio were among the missing on Monday mom
mt'. No light was thrown on the subject until
Tuesday morning, when Mr. Elway received a
udi-gram from Samuel I). Young,* Supi. Middle
Division. P. K. K., at Harrisburg, informing him
dud a portion of his goods Were at the “ McClellan
lli.nse.’’in that city. Mr. E. left for . Harrisburg
.hi Ihe first train, and was pleased to find that the
must of his stock had been recovered, but the
iliieves had escaped, almost at the risk of their
lives, as the sequel will show.
Suspicion had rightly fallen upon the darkies
d»ivc referred to. It is supposed that after they
liid secured the, goods they placed them in a sta
ble, (ns there were hay seeds on*thcm) either here
~r at Spruce Creek, and waited until the freight
iiains were passing down on Monday night, when
1 tier selected a box car loaded with coal, the
bsirs of which were often, into Which they stowed
litrir booty, and then took passage themselves. A
br.ikemau on the train discovered the passengers
awl. while the trains stopped at Marysville, in
formed Win, Marshal, conductor of another train
milling on same schedule, of the fact. Mr. M.
-alistied himself that the passengers were the sns
I« ird darkies, and immediately closed the doors
-f the car, intending to keep them in it until the
•win arrived at Harrisburg. Unfortunately, the
car was one that had been used for transporting
-oldiers, in whicli a number of holes had been cut,
which had been insecurely closed.' At these the
■kitkies -.vent, pnd soon succeeded in knocking out
hie strips with which one of the holes bad been
rinsed, and before the train had got mider full
in-adway they jumped out and skeedoddlcd for
iitc. Due of them fell out and was seen bv the
nikcman to roll down over the embankment into
i ditch of water. Whiten the ear was opened, at
llarrisbiug, all the cloth and a number of pieces,
of clothing wpre found in it. Each darkey had
I’iit on two cassimer shirts and about two suits of
■iothes, and left the 'balance. The police of
Harrisburg were supplied with of the
missing clothing and it is to be hojied that they
will'succeed in ‘•pulling” the scamps.
I’his is the second time Mr. Elway has l»een
robbed. There is a german now serving out a
orm in the Western penitentiary for performing
■i similar operation some two years since.
Mr. Es loss in litis instance foots up abott
T. 50.00,
-\n attempt.was made, on.tbe same night, to
cater the boot and shoe store of Mr. John Shoe
maker, but the window shutters were too strong
■iml tooseeurlcv fastened.
-Mah Killed. —On. Monday afternoon last, a
german named John ’Wicker, a laborer on the
irtKit train on the Mountain Division, was thrown
froip a truck, near Kitlanning Coint, and fell upon
ihe track in such a [josition that the train passed
<a er his leftgrm and leg, breaking and injuring
!«rth to such an extent that amputation was ren
dered necessary. This was performed by Drs.
< 'brisfy and Genunill r at the Exchange Hotel, to
'liieh place he was taken. Bur medical skill was
•■I no avail in his case, and on Tuesday evening
death put an end to bis sufferings.' He leaves a

Milt Run,, above town. J
Cellar Thieves.— lt appears that some of
‘liesy genhy are again in town, looking up eata

ln-ar of several slight depredations committed in
■litfcrent parts of the town. Among others, they
‘ i*itcd the cellar and kitchen of the Logan Hoqse
and carried away various eatables and a pair of
'funs belonging to Mr. D. Miller. Taking these
initiatory steps as a warning, it would be well for
unr citizens, to look to their door and window fast -
"“ings, and, lest these should fail, it would not
■ ome amiss to have a well loaded revolver or shot
close at hand. ,
Akreal Conference. —By announcement in
tne fy'irittlof Advocate and Journal, we learn the
Annas) Meeting of East Baltimore Conference,
Methodist Episcopal Church, will convene in
thn place on the 2d of March next, and be pre-
over by Bishop Janes. As the cowing ses
,',m will be one of peculiar interest, inasmuch as
‘V General Conference meets in Philadetpjiia, in
'la.v next, and delegates are to be elected thereto,
publishing a daily liecord of the pro
bings and will issue a prospectus forsubscribcrs
’ln- same, in the course of a few days.

Thikvijs “PnrxED.”—Constable Ely has been
iloing a thriving business,, dnrmg the past week,
in the way ol arresting thieves who, jvere endeavs
oring to escajje bn the trains. On Saturday morn
ing last, he received ajtelegram from Huntingdon,
requesting hint; to arrest a small fancy looking
Italian, on a charge of entering the rooms of a
couple of Hotels in that place, in one instance
abstracting ‘some SIC from the pockets of a
boarder, ami in another appropriating h gold
watch and some; money belonging to n traveller.—
On the arrival ofthe Express Train. Joe “spotted”
the “ larlfcy” land “ pulled’’ him forthwith.—
Great were his protestations against such treat
ment towards a man who had only been twelve
days in this country; but Joe bras deaf to entreaty,
and insisted upon famishing the stranger with
lodgings in the Lockup," until constable King
should arrive and take charge of him. ■ Constable
K. arrived in the evening train and furnished the
foreign gentleman with a free ticket to Hunting
don, and provided him with lodging in the stone
house with diamond windows.
On Monday last, Joe received a telegram from
Pittsburgh, giving the description of a boy, about
I!> years of age, named Benjamin Gough, who
had stolen some $45 from his mother and token
passage on the Express Train Eastward, and re
questing that he arrest him. Prom the descrip
tion given, Joe had no difficulty in “ spotting"
his game, and as soon os the cars stopped he ob
served him upon the platform and at once laid his
“ fetehe cum taknm” upon him and offered to pro
vide lodging ,in the “ Lockup” for the night.—
The hoy was rather taken aback by the sudden
ness of the proeeceding and denied all complicity
in the larceny. Pinding that he was fairly caught,
and that there was no getting out of the scrape,
he “simmered d#wn,” and admitted little by lit
tle until he admitted all. His mother came on,
on Tuesday, and jtook.charge of him and conveyed
him back to Pittlborgb.
Awfui. Catastrophe. —On Wednesday inorn-
ing last, one of the most terrible and fatal accci
dents that was ever witnessed on the Penn’a Rail
Road, occurred to the Stock Express Train East
ward, while statuhog at Conemaugh Station. To
the rear of each stock train is attached what iff
called a callaboose car, for the accommodation of
drovers and those in charge of the stock. In ad
dition to the Engine in from, the train was be
ing pushed up the, grade by Engine No. ■ 174.
While the train Was stopping at the station named,
to allow tltis Engine to take in coal and water, it
bjew up; The fire-box was blown off and the
boiler was raised (up and thrown on top of the
callaboose car, ih iivhich were a number of drovers
and their helfis. The result was that
John Finley, engineer, was so badly injured
that he died on Tuesday morning
Chus. Bonahoe, fireman, was thrown a consid
erable distance frojm the engine, receiving a severe
shock and a number of bruises, but it is thought
ho will recover j■.
James Mills,iflqgman, who was standing on the
■sear bumper of the callaboose ear, had his arm
broken,.head cut find .was otherwise bruised'and
also badly scaldedj From the latter his life is en
dangered.
Nathan Rosepraux, a Jew pedler, hailing
f rom No. 10 Mott Street, New York City, who was
a passenger in tha callaboose car, had his right
arm torn off just below the shoulder and was badly
scalded. He died on Tuesday morning.
John Hodge, of Kentucky, employed by one of
the drovers, was instantly killed, as was also .an
other man who wju unknown to any person on
the train. There were no papers or marks about
him whereby, to discover who he was, or where he
was from, '
Wo are indebted to Dr. J. M. Gemmill, who
was dispatced by t|»c Compamy to attend the in
jured men, for thclabove particulars.
The women around Philadelphia go to
the corn fields and offer to husk com for the husks,
and as labores are] scarce, the, farmers gladly ac
cept the proposition- iThe women carry the husks
to the city, dry and strip them, and then sell them
to the manufacturers of mattresses. It is sod that
the mattresses made pf com husks are of the most
healthy kind, and some persons allege they have
been cured of rheumatism by sleeping on husk
matresses. An experience of eight years has con
vinced us that a htfsk mattre>s makes the most
comfortable, and, sbe believe, the' most healthy
bed upon which tojsleep.

Hodnot’s building, opposite the Superinten

ing and a great improvement to this part of the
town. The I'enn’4 R. R. Go’s building, on the
comer of Annie und Emma streets is almost fin
ished and gives a tjity touch to that side of thd
street. A brick, pavement is being put down in
front of all the Coihpany property. We hope that
all our citizens whd A” 6 able will follow the ex
ample of the Company and put down brick pave
ments,, thereby doing away with the numerous
mantraps in the way of broken board-walks.
Personal.— Wd were pleased to receive a visit
from Dr. D. K. Good, formerly of this place, late
burgeon in the IT. S. Army, who was spending a
few days with bis friends in this place, this week.
He has just returned from Gettysburg, where he
was attending the wounded since the battle at
that place, in July last. Although his duties
were ardnoos, leaving but little time for rest, he
still looks hearty; The Doctor enjoys the reputa
tion of being ad excellent surgeon, and always
wins the praise Of those placed under his care.

©" Many farmers through the county may de
sire to butcher their own stock—that is the stock
they have raised or fatcned on their farms—and
in that way dispose of it. To all such we would
say, keep an account of the number killed, and the
dates between which you kill and sell, in such a
way as that yon can be qualified that your account
is correct, and after yon have all slaughtered and
sold, make your return to the Assistant Asses
sor of your district, under oath. It is almost im
possible for Assistant Assessors to go through
their respective districts and get Monthly Returns
from all farmers who may kill and sell cattle, hogs
or sheep, which they have raised themselves, but
who do uot make a business of slaughtering.
Such persons do not .need a license, unless they
sell $l,OOO worth. But they are bound to pay 20
cents per head for cattle over 18 months old, 5
cents for all under 18 months, 6 cents for each hog
and it cents for each sheep they kill for sale.
Look Odt. —Ten dollar green backs, altered
from one’s arc in circulation in this neighborhood,
and may deceive those who are not posted on the
appearance of those notes. One dollar green
backs have the likeness of Secretary Chase on the
upper left hand comer, while the slO’s have the
likeness ot Lincoln on the same corner. The
alteration is made by pasting an.X over the figure
1, where it occurs in large type, and by blotting out
the smalljfigures and avoids with green ink. There
are other means of detecting the alterations, but
the quickest and surest way is to examine the
likeness on the upper left hand comer. Secretary
Chase appears on the sl’s and President Lincoln
on the 10’s.
Negbo Soldier’s.—On Sunday afternoon last,
the fifth Ohio colored regiment, numbering 770
men, passed through this place, on their way, as
they said, “to Massa Butler, in Norf Carlina.”—
They have been in camp and drilling since June
last, and their officers were willing to wager any
amount that they were as proficient in miiitaiy
tactics as any regiment m the field. All the
commissioned officers were white, and were
fine looking men. The darkies were fine speci
mens of their nice, and looked as though they
could give an equal number of Bebs a good drub
bing on an open field.
Another Invoice.—E. A. O. Kerr is deter
mined to keep up with the times and supply the
wants of the community from the gravest to the
gayest. He has just received a large invoice of
all styles of ladies dress goods, adapted to the win
ter season, together with the latest styles of
shawls, cloaks,-hoop skirts, shoes, gaiters etc.,
Alsoa large stock of goods for men’s wear, together
with groceries, selected with care as to quality and
price. We might mention many other articles,
but will merely say, call and examine the stock
and you will be sure to find something to please yon.
Malicious Mischief.—About 11 o’clock, on
Thursday night last, some malicious person threw
a stone through the large oval light of glass, over
D. Langhman’s clothing store door, shattering the
light and completely destroying it, inasmuen as it
was lettered with his name and the word “-cloth
ing,’’ burned in the glass. We are Informed by
Mr, L. that the light and lettering cost him $ll.
What cbnld have been the incentive so such a
cowardly act we are at a loss to conceive. We
hope the villian may be discovered and receive
proper punishment.

Why is it?—-Com cannot be purchased in this
vicinity for less than from 87 J cents to f 1,00 per

at these figures, hut ask $1,25, while 100 miles,

Thanksgiviso.—Thursday next is Thanksgiv
ing Day. In addition to the President’s Procla
mation, the Governors of all the loyal,States have
issued Proclamations requesting that the day be
observed. We' presume announcements will be
made from the pulpits in. this place, on Sabbath
next, for Divine service on that day. As nsual,
numberless .turkeys will give up the gost the
previous evening. We have not seen the gobler
that is to make the printer’s dinner.
, Accikekt.—We learn from the Hollidaysbutg
papers, that Col. John Piper, of that town. As
sistant Provost Marsha}, of this county, met with
a serious accident on Monday of last week.—
While driving in his sulkey, one of the wheels
came off and he was thrown out with snch force
ns to dislocate one of bis shoulders, besides sus
taining other injuries. He is now mending rap
idly.
ISir Look out for Counterfeits! not only of
bank bills, but of every thing truly valuable. We
understand that even the indispensable articles
known as “ Family Dye Colors” are no exception
to this rule. Therimitations, like all counterfeits,
are utterly worthless. Remember that ''Howe '&
Stevpus, Family Dye Colors are the original, the
only valuable and useful thing of the kind.
Notice. —Foreign notes will not be received at
the office of the Altoona Gas and Water Company
in payment for gas or water bills, inasmuch as the
