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 ? Tty it on, gentlemen,
•"idareß bet something handsofne yon will become
f ljo SSW popular couneilmen we i have ever hail.

: Dimithbhia.—The following article upon the
nature and treatment of this peculiar and must
dangerous malady appeared in a late number of
tl|e Philadelphia Ledger.” As it was evidently
written hy an experienced physician, and as it
throws new light upon the treatment of a disiase
which, except in its fatal results, is but little un
derstood. it is worthy of general perusal at this
particular time:
iW e notice the recurrence of numerous cases of
diphtheria in many parts of the: State, and indeed
throughout the United States.: Many colds seem
to. run into this, and in cases of croup there are
such singular complications, that it is difficult,
and often impossible, to tell one from the other.
The word diphtheria means literally “ tmthery"
from the character of the membrane which forms
, 1* u iiiside tRe throat in this disease, and which
looks very much like wash-ieathet. It used al
most always to appear at first in, white spots or
patches on the bock of the throat, or on the ton
site, rhis would often spread rapidly, and either
produce suffocation or fill the whole system with
the disease, especially the lungs, stomach and
bowels. There is now, however, a Marked differ
ence m the type and order of many of the symp
, tons. There are numerous cases Of diphthoretic
sore throat that never go any farther, and are
easily manageable; and, on ihc other band, there
am many cases of the most real and terrible diph
theria, where the white spots never appear in the
throat. Sometimes the throat will be sore and
evyn of a purple hue. with not a particle of the
characteristic diphthoretic whiteness, while yet it
may at the very same time fill the bronchial tubes
Mow, and even the stomach and .intestines, so
thkt a patient has been suffocated by a piece of the
, lnem^ mne forming a valve in the throat,
while that throat itself was only purple. Prob
ably after the first attack has been in the throat, a
second will be more apt to manifest itself in some
of the tubes lower down.
The disease itself, apparently, is ;in the blood,
into; which the poison is most likely inhaled
thrppgh the atmosphere, and considerable strength
of constitution seems necessary to throw off its at
tacks, for, like all thisclagi of poisons, the tendency
is to produce prostration, and then the whole sys
tem > 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. Would that
all who have done likewise were thus conscience
stricken;

familiar to manv of our citizens. 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

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.

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.
W. The election for Officers of the Altoona

tion, to serve during the year 1864, will be held
on Thursday evening, January 7th, 1864, between
the hours of and 8 o’clock, P. M. Annual

immense variety, that it is next to impossible to
enumerate. We can bat state that we have on

together with a splendid stock ofprotograph albums,
photograph bibb s and gift books, ranging in price,
from $1.50 up ; to 10 dollars each. Also, a mag

and pocket-diaries and memorandnm books. ' In
the way of sweetmeats we have a rich and rare
variety of confectionery, consisting of all kinds of
plain and fancy candies, cream preparations., nuts

we have a splendid lot of gold pens and pencils,

GRAND VICTORY!
the Cash system triumphant!
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. My prices have heretofore been as low,
if not lower, than- those of any other merchant in
the country, hut I now make the following reduc
tions in

object to purchase where the can save a few cents
on each article—and that they will be adhered to
strictly fur the present, and so long, in the future,
as my sales will justify. After making the reduc
tion I must doublr 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 thdr advantage
to extend me their patronage, thereby enabling me
e o make still further reductions for their benefit-

tts way lu almost every workshop in the country, as the
earnest friend of the mechanic and artisan, hut it is found
in the counting-room of the manufacturer and the mer-

while it is their aim to present all subjects In the most
popular and attractive manner.

form fer binding; and each number contains
Sixteen pages of useful reading matter, illustrated with
NUMEROUS SPLENDID ENGRAVINGS
ofal! the latest and best inventions of the day. This feature
or the. journal is worthy of special note. Every number
contains from live to ten original engravings of mechani
cal inventions relating to every department of the arts
These engravings are executed by\ artists specially em
ployed on the paper, and are universally acknowledged to
be superior to anything of the kind produced in this
