Masonic Scppkk*—On Christmgis. evening, on
occasion of the {retaliation of officers for the
.-ming year, name- forty or fifty members of
ilmininin Lodge, A.Y. if., partook of a sumptuous
r.-uash served up by “ mine host” of the Altoona
House. Col. Woods. The Colonel clearly out-did
liimselt. on this occasion. The table fairly groaned
aider the weight of good things, consjstingof all
!,.■ luxuries as well;as substantial* of the season,
uid many were the tapressioos of approbation be
.uiwed by those who surrounded the board. After
dl had heartily partaken of the viands, a number
.i toasts were drank and responded to. Among
ihe responses we may refer particularly, without
lifing invidious, to those of Dr, W. R, Findley,
present Woiibipfnl Master, and Hoti. John Cres
ell. District Deputy Grand Master. They re
i rred to the rise and: progress of the order in this
~ .hioit of the State, the proverbial patriotism of
I 111 members thereof the influence for gtxxl ex
. rtet! on trying occasions, and other matters of in
'crest to those present. 'Rev. R. W.! .Oliver.
Pitnplain. made ahappy response to a toast calling
him up. The toast to the only Masonf present
whoso wife is a Masott was well, received and fitlv
"ponded to. But we cannot notice ail, suffice it
in say that the wholeaffair was •* A feast of reason
a flow of sold." highly enjoyed and long to be
r merabered by those who participated in it.
lUilroao Suit' Decidkh.—The suit of the
Lncesci. Oil Compahv against the Pennsylvania
Kailroad Oompanv, action foi damages, was
etmclnded recently in the Court of Common
I’icasc of Allegheny county. The plaintiffs in
tpril last shipped one hundred and a cieyen bar
vis of refined oil ot} the defendent's road?ibnt be
tween Columbia and Lancaster one of the axles of
he tender btpke off close to the wheel, by; which
i .ro of the cars were thrown off the track.'one of
'hem faffing down an lembankment into a mea-
I'.w skirting the road.: Shortly after the accident 1
■-•curred, two men approached the place, and a
discussion arising between■ them as to whether the
ha reels coutained.oil or whisky, one of them, to
ust the master, imprudently scratched- a \ match
igainst the end of the car, when the oil .caught
tire, and a terrific explosion occurred, in! which
i«th men received considerable injuries. The oil
of course all destroyed, and the plaintiffs
holding that the thingoccurred through the negli
-ence of thodefendenjs, suit was instituted for
•images to tjte amonnt of some $1,700, which it
v:ts claimed,: was the value of the oil at the time.
The defended! proved that (he Company had com
plied with the terrosofthe bill of lading, aiid that
the loss of the oil was riot throngh their negligence.
Plaintiffs took a non-suit.
Living Wonders.—Townsend’s Living Wond
rs, on exhibition at Masonic Hall, on Friday and
Saturday last, appeared to be the centre of U
> i action for the time. There was no humbug aboiit
ihe exhibition. All who witnessed the wonders
acknowledge i that they got (he worth, of their
money. The Arab giant. Col. Goshen, is a good
imred fellow, judging from his countenance, and
,the jokes he passed with those who measured with
, 'dm. The fat girl (m dclimte Illinois female) is
ruhergood looking, and don’t care a ccnt how
unch the men look at her. , She,may weigjij 400
In-, and she may not. We believe there is,a wo
man in this place that can hold her level oin the
-"des. The nlver-haired, white-skin and jpink
•>ed Albino family Is a wonder. No descriptions
would give odr readers jan idea of their appearance.
I'hev must be seen to know what they are.' The
'■ What Is It” is, in reality', a ‘‘ what is it ?”—a
something between a negroand babboon—an awful
’.sly thing—more thap an aniinal. dess ’than a
-man—“ What Is It?” The snake large,
b a ttiere are larger ones.
Christmas is Atjoosi.—There was no
marked difference between this day and ahy
other, more than that all places of business, except
candy shops and drinking saloons were closed,
and evetyhody and all their friends appeared to be
on the streets. In-the, morning .the children ap
peai*ii ir|tb their hands fnll of candies and, toys
sad lathe afternoon several men appeared i with
hots fullof bricks, boots fall of snakes! and
wntakwnafall of Uuigte-leg, accompanied with a
-waging inclination of the body, the tendency be
ing downward aU the tine, and the gentle gup
wnt of neighborly Signposts, fences and bouses
were kindly appreciated .-and. politely accepted.—
Here were no ridtona demonstrations that .were
heard of. Barring a-few headaches next morping,
all passed off smoothly :
Hash Masbep. —A man named Morgan, Con
ductor on one of the freight trains between \ this
place and Harrisburg, bad one of his hands severely
washed, a few days since, while engaged in coup
ling carein the f ar d, place, by having it
caught between the “bull noses.” The skin: was
burned bpen between the thumb and forefinger,
and from the little finger up to the wrist. The
hone of the hand, connecting with the third finger,
ass broken. He has bepn lying in a critical con
dition for several dayi hot.we learn from his j>by
si «an, Dr. GemmUH (bat he is likely to recover,
and thotthe hand nfav yet be' saved.
“ Post No Bills Hoft, — What it, puhre an-,
noying to a bill-poster than, otr approaching a
lunch frequented street comer, anfi shout arrange
ipg for the posting of his mammoth pietoriais, to
discover a little piece .of black tinityitk the words
“Post Bills Here.” He picks up his backet
snd brush and, casting his eyes; abont to see
whether any person bad witnessed jjis discomfiture,
trudges off to seek a place about which the,, owner
is nor “so blamed pamekler.”' Hitherto the
tenve sot-rounding the Logan Morale lot, has been
so exteasively used as a bulielin board that it re
quires some inspection to determine; the original
color. Bat the Bail Boad Company, to'whom
the; property belongs, lias grown tired of furnish
ing bulletin boards for the town, and has posted
notices warning off bill-posters. This action will
necessitate the erection of regular bulletin boaids
at: the frequented comers, and public places,

Leah 1 EAjt.— -The year one thousand, eight
hundred and sixty-four, will be Besextile or Leap
W- It is so called because it leaps-over a day
more than a common year, thus in common years
there are 365 days, in leap year 366. It is si ll
that during this year, more batchelors commit
matrimony that in the other three, and for this
several reasons have been assigned. , Caring noth
ing about reasons, wo hope the ball may com
mence rolling early in the year and continue until
thousands shall be able to say ini the language
of Shakspeare :
” She is my own;
And 1 ss rich in bating such jewel/
As twenty seas, IF sli their eanda whro pearl
The waters Nectar, and, the rocks pure Gold.”
•W'For a week or two past, we (lave had what
itemize™ call a “cold snap,” Je-mi-mah but it
u'dji oold up here among the Alleghenies. Two
in-a-bed, spoon-fashion, was decidedly comforta
ble. Old Boreas made a successful raid upon
several hydmnts and small streams, effectually
cutting off communications. On Saturday night
last,-we had a fell of rain which' froze as it fell,
covering the streets and,sidewalks wfth a epating of
ice. in consequence of which saints fes well as sin
ners stood, on slippery places, on Sunday morning.
Numerous were the downfalls among pedestrians,
some laughable—some otherwise—pone agreeable
to those most interested.
Pork. —On Christmas day we walked out
.to the residence of Martin Runveu, to look at a
sma(j pig which he purchased in Pittsburgh, a few
dayi} since, 4he little fellow only j weighs eight
hundred and eight pounds. He wi}l dress in the
neighborhood of 700 lie. clean meat. Mr. R.
expects to take 400 lbs. of lard out of him. There
is sopie,pork in him, bur we should judge con
siderably more lard. Like the fet-girl and the
giant, he was not in the least dashed by the con
centrated gaze of spectators. We came away con
vinced that he was a big hog, bat there are some
bigger hogs in town that don’t weigh half as much.
BrjiLDtxo Association.—Books for subscrip
tion [o the capital stock of the Altoona Building
Association have been opened, and as it is designed
to procure a charter immediately upon the organ
ization ot Legislature, in order that arrangements
may he made to commence the erection of houses
as sofm as the season, ripens, we hope all who desire
to take stock in the enterprise will come forward at
oncejand give in their names either to David
Ironsj at Gen’l Superintendents Office, or at the
Tribtpte Office.
AcptDEST.—Our young friend, Isaac Worrell
received a severe contusion of the knee joint,
while [coasting down the hill, Julia "street, one
evening last week', He, with sonm five or six others,
were on a plank which ran into the gutter at the
Conner of Virginia street, captizing a portion of
the party. He has since been confined to his bed.
Other accidents of less importance have already
occurred on that ground, this .season,' and we shall
be surprised worse ones do not occur ere the coast
ing season is over. !
Commendable.— We leaim from the Lancaster
“ Inquirer” that Thomas A. Scott, Esq„ inactive
and effective Vice President of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, has presented to. John Barns,
the old hero of Gettysburg, a pass to travel free
over the road from Philadelphia .to Harrisburg
until “ otherwise ordered.” This is as! it should be,
for a man like private IBums, who killed three
rebs. certain, and was wounded thrice himself,
deserves to travel “ Scqtt free” wherever he goes.
RraE in Johnstown, Pa—On Thursday even
ing Union Hall, Johnstown, Cambria county, Pa.,
was consumed by fire. The Catholic Orphans’
Fair was being held there at the time,: and'every
article; was destroyed.' Some adjncenll buildings
were ej|so much damaged. The fire' is presumed
to have been caused by a defective fine. The
amount of loss is not known.
gap The reduction of prices at Kerr’s has cre
ated a great excitement throughout this section of
the country,-end it is bound to be kept up, as
the reductions made ore actually greater than
those announced on the 4th of December.—
It give# us pleasure to refer to the business of such
men os Kerr, from the faettbat he always comes
fully up to what he promises in his advertisement.
Carrier's Address.—Our carrierj will cal Lon
bis patrons, on New Year’s morning,, with hks
Annual Offering, and hopes to find them all pre
pared writh script am) greenbacks to send him on
his way rejoicing. Be ready, friends, 1 to give him

*ar On Christmas morning, we met all em
ployee |6n his way home from the shops with a
Christinas gift which we did pot efivy him—a
mashed thumb. Seeing he was in a hairy to -get
it home, we did not stop him to mage inquiries,
therefore do not know its extent. I
W The shotting match for L. F. Nothwang’s
large pig did not come cff .on Christmas,, although
quite a: number of crack shots from the surround

In taking.this Step, I have bconartuaied iiolely

there has been nut a small advance in wages, tint
necessaries of life have advanced enormously, and
the prospects are that they will still go higher.

attention of the public to the following figures.—
Almost every person is aware of the prices at

The Secretary c the Treasury has hot yst giren notice
of any intentjon to withdraw this popular L’nm from Bale
at Par, and until ten days notice is gireo, the undersigned,
as “ Oenelral Bubecrlptton Agent,” will edntioas tosupnlr
the public. ■
The whole amount of the Lono anthorisied is fire Hun
dred Millions of Dollaxs. Nearly loar Hundred UillioDs
hare been already sahacrlM for and paid into the Tress-'
nry. mostly within the last seven months. The large de
mand from abroad, and the rapidly increasing home de
mand forme ay the basis for circulation by National
Banking fksaociatians n6w organising In itU parts < f the
country, will; in a eery shots, period, absorb tbs balance.
Sales hare lately ranged front tan to fifteen millions week
ly, frequently esceedlng three millions dally,and it It welt
known that the Secretary of tie Treasury has ampul
and unfitting resources in the Doties on' Imparts and
Internal Kereroes, and in the ls.no of the Interest besting
Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it Is almost a certainty
that he will not find It necessary, for a long time to come, to
eeek a market for any other long or premature Loans
THE INTEREST AND PHINCIPAL OP WHICH ARK
PAYABLE IN HOLD.
Prudenpe and'self interest must force the minds of thorn
contemplating the formation of National Banking Associ
ations, as well as the minds or nil who hare idle money on
their bangs, to the prompt conclusion that they should
lose no time in subscribing to this meet popular Loan: It
will soon be beyond their reach, and edrance to a hand
some premium, sa was the ralnlt with the” Seren Thirty”
Loan, when it was all sold and cob Id no longer be sub
scribed for at par.. :
Jt it ate percent. Loan, the Interest and Principal mv
ahU tn Oxn, thus yieidng aver Nine per (Ynt. t*r anm*m
at the present rates of premium on coin.
The Government requires all duties on imports to be
paid in Coin:: these dntles bare fur a long time past
amounted! to over a Quarter of a Million of Dollars daUy '
a sum nearly three times greater than that required In
the payment of the Interest on all the 5-20’s and other
permanent Loam. Sj that It is hoped that the surplus
Coio In the Treabnry, at no distant day. will enable the
United Slates to resumo specie payments upon all liabili
ties. - j .. -
The Logo is called 5-20 from the fret that whilst the
Bonds may run for 20 yean, yet therObsernment has s
right to pay them off in Gold, at par,'at anytime after
ft years. ,1
The Interest i* paid hatf yearly, vlx; on the first days
of November and May.
Subscribers cam have Coupon Bonds, which arc payable
tobearer.iand ate $6O, SIW, $6OO, ahd $1000; or Regis
tered Bonds of Same donomiaationa, and in addition, $&.-
OOU. and $1,0.000. Per Banking purposes and for inveit
mcnt« of Trust-monies the Roistered Bonds are preferable.?
These oW* cannot be faxed by States, cities, towns, in]
counties, and the Government tax on them is only 01W
and a-half per cunt., on the amount of iwomt, when the
income of the holder exceeds Six Hundred dollars per an
num ; all other investments, such as income form Mort*
gpges, Railroad; Snick and Bonds, .etc., moat pay from
three to five per cent, on thejneome.
Banks and Bankers throughout the Country' will con
tinue todiepose dfthe Bonds; and all orders by mail, or
otherwise, promptly attended to.
The inconvenience of a few days’ delay in the delivery of
Ibe Bond* i& unavoidable, the demand being so great; but
os interest commences from the day of subscription, no
loss ix occasioned, and every effort is being made to di
minish ibh delay. . . * -

VOLUME X.-NEW SERIES.
The publisher of the SCIENTIFIC AUBKICAN reeeect

established in 1846, and to undoubtedly the moat widely
circulated and influential publication of the kind lo the
world, la commencing the uew volume the publishers de
sire* to call special attention to it* claim* a*
A JOURNAL-OF POPULAR SCIENCE.
In this respect it stands unrivalled. It m<t only finds
its way to almost every workshop in the country, aa the
earnest friend of the mechanic ana artizan, but it ia found
in the counting-room of the aaapnfactnrer and the mer
chant ; also, in the library an(T the household. Ihe pnb
iiphera feel warranted in saying that no oliut Journal now
published contains an equal amount of useful information ■
while it ia their aim to present all anhieeta in the most
popular and attractive manner.
The Scientific American ia published once a week, in
convenient form for binding; and each number eeelsin**
sixteen pages of useful leaning matter,, illustrated with
NUMEROUS SPLENDID ENGRAVINGS
©fall the latest aad best inventions oftjleday. ThU feature
oftbejournal is worthy of apeCfaTnote. Every number
contains from five to ten original engraving* of mechanic
Cal inventions relating to every department of the arts.
Thesv 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
country.
The publishers of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAS promise
to present, as during proceeding years, all the latest im
provements In Steam Jfinglneerltfg, War Vessels, Ordinance
--military and naval, Fire-arms, Mechanics* Tools, Manu
facturing Machinery, Farm Implements, Wood-working
Machinery, Water-wheels, Pumps and other BydnuUc
Apparatus, Household Utensils, Electric, Chemical and
Maiiiouiatical Instruments, Flying Machines and other
Curious luveutibus—beside* all the varied articles de
4igued to lighten the labor of mankind, not only in the
shop and warehouse, but in every place where the indus
tries of Hie am proposed.
From its commencement the-SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
has been the earnest advocate of the right* of American
the
REPERTORY OF AMERICAN FA TENTS.
In this important department, so vitally connected with
ail toe great interests ot the .country, no other journal e
lay any claim whatever; as in its columns thereto pub
lished a weekly Official hist of the * Claims” of all natents
granted at the U. 8. Patent Office.
THE PRACTICAL RECIPES
aIoDB are oft-times worth more to the subscriber than the '
amount of a whole year's subscription.
