UiiL IioAD SpkSd.—ln the Philadelphia £ve
„mj Bupetin, of Sajtniday lest, we find;a commu
nication detailing the recent excursion trip On the
..{toning of the railroad tome from New York city
m Washington without change of cars} in which
the running ofthe train between Washington and
I’lnladelpijia, on return trip, is claimoS as the
"fastest lime on record." , The writer evidently is
in it posted on the running lime of several Railroads,
md especially that of the Penn’a, Central, else he
.. . mid not have made hU announcement with sucJi
:i flourish of large letters and detail of stops, mile
tigeand minutes. .•
He states that the distance between Washington
and Philadelphia is' 136 miles, and was run 'in 4
hoars and 23 minutes,’including 36 minutes tor
•tops, leaving the actual running time 3 hours and
(7 minutes,
The distance between Altoona and Harrisburg
i- 132 miles. The regular schedule time of the
f ast Line East, between the (joints nafned, is 4
i.ours and 215 minutes, including 26 minutes for stops
for wood and water, leaving tlfe actual running time
4 hours. Not mtfrequemly has tae train left this
-mtion -from 30 to 40 minutes behind time and
arrived at Harrisburg on time..: thus making faster
;ime than that made by the excursion train-be
tween Washington and Philadelphia.
But lest this should not be considered sufficiently
convincing,;, we call up the following run, madehu
iw ccn this place and Harrisburg, (132 miles) some
three years since, by the Mail Train. Col. J. J.
U'citzel. conductor, Michael Cook, engineer. On
die occasion referred to, the schedule time between
•hi- points \fas 5 hours and 6 minutes, The train
:.dt this station 53 minutes behind time, leaving
■illy 4 hours and .12 minutes to make Harrisburg
■II time. Twenty-live stops were marie on the
mute, at ap average loss of 3 minutes, to each,
which reduqed the running time to two hours and
■ 7 minutes.! The train arrived at Harrisburg on
lithe, having traveled at the rate of 44 tniles per
hour. ' ' 1 ,
The New York and Washington train must
navel considerable faster than it did on the oeca
-ion of the repent excursion before it can beat, that
run on the Penn’u. B. li.
136 miles, in 3 hours and 47 minutes, don't com
l«ue with 132 miles in 2 hours and 57 minutes.

to hand in Heir papers, on or before the 120th of

stricken frog! the list. In requiring men to hand
in their exemption claims previous to the draft,
we presume it is the intention of the Board to do

facilitate thtj business. All persons drafted on the

Sergeant Alex Crawford'Gwin fell at the
stoituingofFort Wagner, S. C.,vJ«lv 11. 1863,
aged 26 yeanr and 11 months.
This brave and patriotic yoang : man was horn
in Logan township, Blair county,; At the break
ing out of the rebellion bis; ardent spirit cangbt
the patriotic flame and ho enlisted in the call for
Pbiiee Months’ men. and fidtjifhlhr served out hts
time. Scarcely had bo returned io the society of
friends and home, when he re-enlisted for the war.
under the heroic and lamented Captain Wavne,
who fell at the sanguinary battle Of Pocotaligo.
Yonpg Gwin was there, and; conducted himself so
well, that the commanding officer, in making his
report, made honorable mention of him.

Always at the post of duty, he was with his
bravw young Captain, Findley, at the storming of
Tort Wagner, on July 11, 1863. iHere be yielded
up his life upon the alter of Constitutional Liberty.
Mother, mourn notforyourson, althcughlie sleeps
in a|far off Southern soil. He sleeps as none but
the Christian can sleep Of this tWe is nodoubt.
Tothishis companions in arms bear testimony, as
one correspondent writes, that “He always at
tended our prayer meetings, manifesting a deep
interest therein." His burial place is not marked
by friendly hands, yet, the moat appropriate bury
ing ground is his—on the field where he fell.
Then rest thee, yonthfnl hero, in thy far off
Southern - graved whose immortal spirit ascended
amid the smoke of battle, to receive the Patriot’s
crown and the Christian’s eternal reward.
iSoLDiEKa’ MoxtFitENT.—What has become of
the Board of Managers of the Soldiers’ Monument
Association ? We have not heard from them for
several months. The season for concerts, lectures,
exhibitions, &c., is here. Notwithstanding the
tariff put upon everything, pur people will patronize
entertainments, and why not snch as will contribute
to the funds for the erection of the Soldiers’ Mon
ument ? Considering that in ,the neighborhood of
$4OO have already been collected for the purpose,
it will not do to let the matter drop. Wake up,
Managers, look around a little, and see if yon
cannot get up a lecture, concert, or exhibition of
some kind, or devise other means to increase the
fund.
Stuj. Alive.—We had a line from Sergt. Jas.
'J . Moore, a few days since, informing as that he
was Still alive and giving the “Bebs” the contents
ot his musket .every lime he came, within proper
range. ,Tim is a ‘‘brick,” tough a* a pine knot,
and composed of the proper material to'make a
good soldier. He has endured all the hardships
of the Army elf the Potomac, passed through every
battle in which the Penna. Beserves have taken
part,; yet without receiving a scratch. We hqpe
he may be as fortunate in future as in the past,
and >vheii this “cruel war is oyer” may return to
his home and friends to enjoy their society, and
proudly wear the laurels he has so nobly won.
CdcuTT Teachers' IsstitCtb.—The Teachers
of the Common Schools of Blair county, are re
spectfully invited to assemble in Hdllidaysburg, on
Wednesday, December 30th, 1863. for the purpose
of reorganizing the County Institute. Business of
vital interest to every Teacher will be presented at
the meeting, during Wednesday and Thursday—
the length of time proposed to continue in session.
We hope that every Teacher who has the good of
his or her profession at heart, will try to he in at
tendance, and aid us in re-establishing one of the
principal auxiliaries of popular instruction.

The Building Association.— Will any of our
citizens move in this matter? We feel interested,
and we tliink that if our citizens, who have a lit

formed, let us go at' it at once, in order that the’
proper legislation may be obtained at the opening
of the session, and all draugements made to com

GRAND VICTORY!
THE CASH SYSTEM TRIUMPHANT!
Two years experience has convinced me that
when goods are sold Jor Cash, they can be sold at
a very small advance on first cost; therefore I
have determined to make another reduction in
my prices, to take effect
ON AND AFTER DECEMBER 4th, 1863.
In taking this step, I have been actuated solely
by a desire to benefit the laboring classes. While
there has been but a small advance in wages, the
necessaries of life have advanced enormously, and
the prospects are that they will still go higher.
Believing that the additional amount of goods
which I can sell, at the reduced prices,,will justify
me in my undertaking, I respectfully invite the
attention of the public u> the following figures.
Almost every person is aware of the prices at
which the goods specified are now selling, hence
they will readily note the reduction, and can easily
figure up the saving to them in them in the course
of a year. - My prices have heretofore been as low,
if not lower, than those of any other merchant in
the country, but I now make the following reduc
tions in

'I wish all to understand that these prices are
for GASH ONLY—-that they are made to accom
modate persons of small means, to whom it is an
object to purchase where the can save a few cents
on each article—and that they will be adhered to
strictly for the present, and so long, in the future,
as my sales will justify. After making the reduc
tion 1 must donblr my sales in order to make as
much money as I did at the old prices. The pub
lic can at once discover that it is to their advantage
to extend me their piatronage, thereby enabling me
to make still further reductions for their benefit.

Prudence and self interest must force the minds of those
contemplating the formation of National Banking Associ

their bands, to the prompt conclusion that they should
lose no lime in subscribing to this most popular Loan. It
will soon be beyond their reach, and advanbe to a hand

The Government requires all duties on imports to be
