Distressing Accideht.—Onp. of those railroad
accidents, peculiar to this season of the year
which no human foresight can present, (the break
ing of frostfd rails) peenred upon the Pennsylvania
Rail Road, one mile East of Lockport,on Tuesday
■ tiling last. As the Express Train East, consist
iiiK of afi Express Car, baggage car and five pas
- tiger cars) were poking the point above named,
mil broke, throwing three of the passenger cars
olf tha, track and killing two passengers, viz.:
John Carpei. of South Annriile, Lebanon countv,
Pa.,’ and W. Gray Shaw, Ist Sergt. Co. C, Ist
Michigan Cavalry, residence near Detroit, Mich.
No other passengers were injured to any extent,
und the meti who were killed might have escaped
injury had they kept their seats and not made an
■tiort to of the car. We may not censure
li.cm, howerer, as they, in all probability, did
what they thought most likely to stive their lives,
yet it proved their death. When accidents occur
n passenger trains, running nt fall speed, as safe a
position as a jyy.for a' passenger, is to remain in
ihe seat he pr she occupies. Attempts to escape
I’rom the dagger, by rhshing out of the ear, is, in
nearly every) instance) attended with fatal conse
u nences. ii :
The remai as of the men were brought to this
place, encased in coffins, and on Wednesday
morning sent to their former homes,
Doties of the Press.—A correspondent of
ihe Springfield Rqmhsam complains, as a gross
inconsistency, and of -baneful influence, that the
press, while denouncing the prize fight, prims the
full details, i So it prints robberies and murders,
ind denounct s the crimes. So it records the un
christian cont roversies of Christian men and.women,
•ud disapproves of them. So it tells you the
mercury wasj down below zero, yesterday morning,
vet shrugs iti shoulders at it. When will all good
;cop!c be inti ligent enough to comprehend and
yield the fact that weekly newspaper is but a
• Map of life"—having its shadows ns well
its lights-4its crimes as well as its beniflcence
—its shames jand its glories :,>nnd that the paper
■■that does notjdo this, liowever useful and pleasant
in Sunday schools; howevpr valuable as a moral
•ir religions agent, is no newspaper, and must even
be limited in range ana influence—limited, indeed,
to those who peed ir least ?

GRAND VICTORY!
THE CASH SYSTEM TRIUMPHANT!
Two years experience has convinced me that
when goods are sold./or Cash, they can be sold at
a very small advance on first cost; therefore I
have determined to make anutulk reduction in
my prices, to take effect
ON AND AFTER DECEMBER 4th, 1863.
In taking; this step, 1 have been; actuated solely
by a desire to benefit the laboring classes. While
therei 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.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 cither merchant in
the country, but I nW make the following reduc
tions in
DRY GOODS.

1 wished to understand that these prices are
for CASH ONLY—that they are made to accom
modate persons of'small means, to whom it is an
object to purchase where the can savca tew cents
on each article—and that they will be adhered to
strictly for the present, and so long, id 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 their advantage
to extend me their patronage, thereby Enabling me
to make still further reductions for their benefit.

AVOID THE NEXT DRAFT!
There is a prevailing ex-
CITEMENT among the people of Altoona and vi
cinity about THE SECOND DRAFT—not so much about
the Draft as for making the Thru Hundred to pen exemp

with their beloved ones, for their support, than to risk
their lives la this bloody war. ;Now, to bring the matter
to a,close, we will inform the public that by bnyinit thetr
Goods at the GREEN STORE, Corner of Branch and Annie
street, East Altoona, kept by GBJS 4 CO., they will
SAVE THE THREE HUNDRED
