1 1 I!.sisiiim; Qi:otx«, —According to announce-
Mtcnt, Monday last, 4th Inst., was the last day on
uliich a district could fill its quota securing
i.iluntcers. but since the draft has been'ikistponed
until the loth of diis month,' we presume recruits
mil tie received and credited up to ihat time.
( onsiderablc fuss has been made over Qreencastle,
Kraiikliti county, in consequence of that place
'i.iviug tilled its quota of volunteers. Having
iiistness with the Provost Marshal ofthis district
called on hijn at his office, in Htratingdon, on
Miiuday lasi, and found him busily engaged in re
,, iring the quota of Porter township, lliimiugilon
county. This township had fourteen men to fur
nish. The citizens went to work, secured suffi
ieot money to pay each man a bounty of £3OO,
making £4,200., The same township also fur
nished one colored recruit, making one over its
quota. As some expressed it, the darkey was held
m reserve, hut as lie insisted upon being “sworn
in" and pocketing his £SOO lidumy, the eontribu
;imi of the township was thus .swelled: to £4,000.
tipod for I'orter township. No eftbris, that we
have heard of, are being fill up the quotas
hereabouts ; those not subject ]J> conscription feel
ing perfectly easy, and those liable to be ticketed
preferring to take their chances. Altoona and
began township should have a credit, on the coining
draft, if those iaieqested chose to look aftqr it.
t 'apt. Bell's Cavaliy.eompanv, and a squad ol’ men
i.tkenoul hy Lieut. Blake, were mainly recruited
in the places named, and quite a number of theui
were not liable to cpnscriplion, or were not drafted
i.ist summer. All not conscripted and not liable
conscription, who enlisted as ahdve. should be
placed to the credit pf the districts to which they
belong, and they will ,be so placed provided any
l«.Tson furnishes the jProvost Marshal with a list,
■•ilhenvi.se we stand oigood chance to furnish more
-.ban our quota. This could lie easily arranged bv
writing to Capt. Bell and Lieut. Blake and getting
j list of the men recruited bv them.

last. It was so cold, and the wind so cutting, that
it was difficult (o tell tv [Tether it froze or burnt.
i hill loading, on Friday night, especially on freight
trains, was near about sewed up. .Men were afraid

Fridayi; night, was taken from the train hi the
yard in th|s place, on Saturday morning, so much
frozen that he was; unable to get his arm out of

Another bad his feet so badly frozen that in pulling

THE CASH SYSTEM TRIUMPHANT!
XVo years vxjterience has convinced me that
when goods an* soldyor Ca*h, they can lie sold at
a very small advance on first oust; therefore I
have determined to make aviThkk eebcctjon in
my prices, to Mike effect

In taking thh'step. I iiavc been artuaTed solrlv
by a desire In le-netit tin- lalsinug classes. While
tltere has Ua-n hm a small iulvance in wages, the
necessaries ot life have advanced enormouslv. and
the prospects are that they will still go higher.
Believing tliat the additional amount of goods
which I can sell, at the reduced prices, will justify'
me in my undertaking, 1 respectfully invite the
attention of the public 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 caueasilv
figure up the saving to them in them in the course
of a year. My prices ,have heretofore been as low, '

for CASH ONLY—that they are mode to accom

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, doublr my sales in order to make as
much money as I did at the old prices. The pub- j
lie can at once discover that it is to their advantage j
to extend me their patronage, thereby enabling me I
to make still further reductions for their benefit. N

than 50 years ago. When Altoona was bunt up to its
liorongb limits. Mr. London sold a portion of his thrm.
adjoining on the west for building lots, and soon the town
of LondoasvUle sprung into existence. He was noted for
honesty and generosity towards those with whom he had
business transactions, and many who are now the posses
sors of comfortable homes, bear testimony to jus liberality.
He had much bodily pain before his death, yeti he expressed
himself comfortable, as he cheered others, with his faith
in the consolations of the Gospel. ' jj

The whole amount of the LoanTauthorixed ia Five Hun

mand from abroad, aud the rapidly increasing home de
mand for n**: aa the basis for «imitation by National
Ranking AntkH'kitiops now organizing in all parts if the
country, will, in a very short period. absorb the Imlance.
Sale?- have lately 1 ranged from ten to fifteen mßUon# week

known that the S(-cretary of |l»e Treasury has am pel
and uutiiUug resources in the Duties on .Imports ctad
luternul Uevevue*, aud lo the is<-ne of the Interest boating
Legal Tender Treasury Notes, -it is almost a certainty
that he will not find it necessary, for a long time to come, to
*eek a market for any other long er premature Loans.
THE INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF WHICH ARK
PAYABLE IN GOLD. :
Prudence and self interest must force the minds of those
contemplating the formation of National Banking Aa*dcL
alum#, ha well! as the minds of all who have idle money im
Uw ir hand*, to the prompt conclusion that they should
i.*e no time in subscribing to this moat popular Loan. It
will «K)i> be beyond their reach, and advance to a hand
some premium, as was the result with the *• Seven Thirty”
Loan, when it was all sold and could no longer be sub
scribed for at j»ar. * . • .
It it a Six per frnt- Loan, the Intmtt and Principal pay
able ill Cain, Hint yiddnj over Sfineper f i mt. nr annum
at the present rate, of premium on coin.
The Government require, all duties on imports tu he
paid in Coin: these duties have Ibr a lung time past
amounted tu over a Quarter of a Million of Dollars daily;
a -urn nearly tjiree time* greater than that required hi
tile payment of the Interest on all the J-20’s and other
permanent Leans. Si that it is hoped that the surplus
Coin in the Treasury, at no distant day, will enable the
C Ulted Slates to resume specie payments upon all liabßi
tics.
The Loan is called 6-20 from the feet that whilst the
Bonds may run for 20 years, yet the Government haa a
right to pay them off in Gold, at par, at any time after
5 year#. i

The Interest is paid half yearly, via; on the first days
