Ihe Building Association.— Since we have agiiated the formation of a Building Association, in this place, we have bad many inquiries in rela tion thereto, and there seems to be a desire to'got up something of the kind. We have before ns the Constitution and By.laws of a couple.of Assoc ia lions, in Eastern towns, but thegy do not exactly conic up to our idens ot such an enterprise, *d ih.uigh they arb very;g*od. We will glveour plan it i ■ond acting such an enterprise, snbjeot, of course, i>* such amendments as those better acquainted with sneb .matters nnyr Suggest. W'e propose that application be made to the Leg i iutiire lor a charter inawporating a Building As - .■iation iu,Altoona, with a capital of $50,000, in hares of $lOO or #2OO each, its may be deemed lu st, said sham to be pud in monthly instalments from one ,0 five PM cent, as may be determined .(Kin. As soon as there shall be sufficient money m the treasury, the Board of Managers shall pro ceed to buy lots anil contract for the Erection of houses thereon. The object should' be to seenre contiguous lots, so that a number of houses, of the -ame style, tan be built at the same time, thereby •to-easing, the cost, as well as giving uniformity the appearance of streets. When contiguous lots are secured, more houses may be erected on the same ground, than could be, 4f the property be scattered abont in sjngle lots. The houses so built shall be immediately offered forrem, and, as there plemy of tenants, they would not long remain empty. As i mod as rented the interest on the money inyesfed will immediately return. The Association may also buy and sell houses. Should a property be offered forsale, let the Man m-'ers, or a pereon elected for the purpose, examine u and report, and if the investment be considered sood, it may be purchased. Should any person wish to purchase a bouse belonging to the Associ ation, a price and tempt of payment may be fixed, hut members of the Association shidl always have the preference. If no member wishes to buy, then the property may be sold to a person outside of the Association. In selling houses, the terms should he monthly payments of from $lO to $l5 each, according to the value of the house, with the privilege of paying more, should the purchaser choose to do so, in order .to save interest. By selling houses on these terras, many men who have . little money, by them, but not enough to bur a l uand erect, a house,.,may- put their money into i his Association and obtain a good percentage -.hereon, and.at the saute time seenre themselves u hbpse on easy payments—the payments, in fact, being bat little more tfiah they now pay for rent, tb|jvhich they have nothing in the end. As a savings institution, if persons do not wish obtain a property, this Association would cer- rainly prove one of the best, os the security is real estate, which, in a growing town like Altoona, must all the time be increasing in value. To give the enterprise a start, we propose that :ill who wish to enter into it, or obtain further in i-.rmation, to meet at Logan Hall, on Saturday -veoing next, Pecember 36th. at 7 o’clock. Marbelle’s Troup, Street Lamps.— We wain light! for eight years we have groped oar way around town, after nightfall, over exoases for crossings and | rickety board pavements; and* hotwiihstanding the enor mous taxes paid, things have 'improved btit little. If we cannot have good Crossings and secure walks, :or the sakp of onrlimhs and morality, us light that we may see where wq are going,| and be able to avoid puddles of water on crossings and bmkpn boards in the pavements. We think that our citizens generally would be willing if tjhey are ‘"l’’ now really anxious, that a portion of trie taxes appropriated to erecting a lamp post iat the • orner of every square. 'We know it would be very nfec to have an additional post in the centre of every block, bitt we do hot want to. go into things lyo steep at first, and will therefore be content if 4c “ Borough Fathers’* will give ns a lamp at chch crossing. Many of onr citizens would be willing Uf pay an additional tax for this purpose. The Railroad Company has furnished lights at three of the crossings. Cannot the “Fathers” ♦hfry.ite the good work ?

Postlevsits cjonfec s an easy prey to ft; so that a sore in anv part of the. body will exhibit this same diphtho reric or leathery tendency The great principal of treatment fe» and natur ally must be, as in typhoid and scarlet fever, to keep up'the strength of the patient :by the most stimulating food. The strongest beef tea, yolk of eggs, tender beef stake and mntton! chops ’ under done, where these last can be swallowed, are more valuable than almost any other medicines, so that as these are given the fever of the patient abates instead ol rising, as most would expect. But the most important matter to' be born in mind is the value of tinu in the treatment of the disease. Not an hour is to be lost after the char acter tif the attack is ascertained or even sus pected. The best medical skill should be sought without the loss of an unnecessary five minutes.— Notning that can impair the vital energy in the least degree should be in the meantime allowed the patient. A dose of opening medicine,' physical exertions or a hundred other things j which at a different time would be quite naturail, may here prove a fatal mistake. The fever, headache, sick ness at the stomach, which are so characteristic of the attacks of this disease in its worst forms, are to be;chiefly combatted by the stimuli that over come the disease, although pounded {ice or small lumps of it often best allay the sickness and ena ble other medicines and food to remain on the stomach. Ice cream of the best quality is in fact oftenjhere a» elsewhere the best of medicens. On the of her hand, a steam bath, easilv made bv eover)hg the patient, head and all with a blanket, and letting the steatri of hot water rise into this and be freely breathed, by producing a profuse prespiration, seems of great service. But the whole ef these remedies should be gtjuded by the most intelligent care hud skill, and from the earliest possible monent. #&=» Logan Hall. As Incident. —A short time since, an officer, belonging to the Army of the Cumberland, passed through this place, on his way to. Washington city. After taking tea at the Logan House,"he turned to one of the proprietors and sail to him that a private soldier! belonging to a Pennsylvania regiment, learning that he (the officer) was to pass this way, requested him to tell the proprietors of the Logan House;that a few months since, as he was on his way to join bis regiment, he entered the office of the Hotel, while the passengers and others were at supper, and stole therefrom an overcoat which he disposed of at a pawn-brokers, in Piftsbnfg, for five dollars. The officer gave the name of the soldier and the regiment to which he belonged and also the name of the pawn-broker. As coats have, on morp than one occasion, mysteriously disap jieared from the iffiee of the Log am House, (through the carelessness of the owners in letting them lie around loose, , and not from any fault of the pro prietors, who are responsible only for (jhose placed in their care,) it was difficult to tell to whom the coat'bejonged. A brakeman on the Mail Train, between this place and Pittsburg, on going in hastily tosupper one evening, had thrown his coat on the counter. When he came ont it was non est. Learning the above, he visited the pawn-brokers establishment and there found his coat. Evidently that soldier wants to be honest, as evidenced by the factl that he gave his name and told all the Circumstances connected with the transaction. He must have been short of funds at the time, and the opportunity to steal the coat and pawn it being presented, he could.not resist the temptation, but commitl|ed the act, for which, by now Exposing himself,! he endeavoring to atone.

Thev have a wide spread fame, not only from their exhibition in some of the Eastern cities, and in the American Museum for a short time, but from their exhibition in Europe, where they excited extraordinary notice on the part of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and many other nobilities, while the masses flocked to behold these remarkable specimens of the human race. The appearance of the “ What Is It,’’ is as diflerent from that of mankind in general as can well be imagined, without wondering into the idea of another order of brings, while the general pro portions of the human figure are still so closely retained that the spectator is forced to.confess that he is indeed the greatest curiosity to be found among the varied descendents of Adam, and we think that no one, whether young or old should fail to witness this unique group. There is no humbug about the exhibition, as there arc to be found the names of some of the most eminent men of the day testifying, to the genuineness of its claims to public patronage. We hazzard nothing in saying that visitors will derive no small amount of -pleasure, mingled with instruction, bv visiting this exhibition at Masonic Hall on Christmas and the day following, afternoon and evening •56. lien, in the course of human events, we, the rest of mankind, or “ any other man" feel inclined to indulge in a real luxury, we instan taneously insert our pedal extremities underneath Otto Rossi's mahogany, and politely insinuate that a dozen of those flue cove plant Oysters, which he always keeps on hand, would satiate our appetite for the time being. They come forthwith’ and each succeeding time better than the last. Go. to Rossi’s if you wish a dish of oysters “as is” ovsters. Also, if you want fancy cakes, pies, confectioneries &c., call at Rossi V There is a letter in the Rost office, in this place, addressed to the “ Prettiest Young Lady in Altoona, ’ and the Post Master cannot decide to whom it should lx- given. The best thing he could do with it would be to put it in the stove, or should he not wish to do that, let him give it to the biggest fool of a girl he knows of, as it is evident that the writer is one of the same style of the'male kind.

Two years experience has convinced me that when goods are sold Jar Oath, 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 AFTEB DECEMBER ith, 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 1 can sell, at the reduced prices, will justify me in jny undertaking, I respectfully invite the attention of the pnblic to 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.
