airinprovement in attaching the ext iron rubbers
to (he wooden i«rt of ear brakes. On the brakes
„ow generally used, the rubbers are fastened to the
wood Wimeahs of bolts ami screws, and consider
able tiine is required to remove a worndut rubber
and put in a new one; and the rubber also comes
so dost! to the wood that when the former is hea
ted )iv in.contact with the car wheel, the
wood is more or less injured hy being burneo,
and by the time the robber is worn out fhe wooden
part is so much injured that it must bp renewed
also. Mr. L.’s patent entirely does away with the”
renewing of the wooden part of the brake, inas
milch as the robber stands off from the wood, al
lowing a free current of air between fliem, thus
preventing the wood from being injured by the
boat of the robber. The arrangement is very
simple, and this odds to its merit. To the wooden
l«ri of the brake is attached a small casting, dove
tailed. to admit a corresponding dove-tail on the
back, of the rubber. The dove-tails having been
entered (they are not made to fit tight) a bolt is
passed through the wooded part of the brake and
through the small casting, and enters p recess in
the dove-tail attached to the rubber. This holds
the’rubber in its place. It requires hut two or
three- turns of. the bolt to fasten the rubber.
When the rubtier is worn out it can be removed and
„;„ew one put in in less than three minutes, if
the brakes are applied to the outside of the truck
wheels. The merits claimed, far the invention are
. that ir is a saving of metal, (wearing the rubber
down to an eighth of an inch in thickness,)* saving
in time taken to replace, and that it does not injure
the wooden part of the brake, all which will be ad
mitted by those who inspect it. It is now in use
oil all the new passenger cars on the P. R. 8., and
njso on a number of freight ears, and will be pnt

Philharmonic Association.— We are truly
gratified to announce that the initiatory steps have
fen taken to form a Philharmonic Association in
Altoona. There is scarcely a town in the State,
indeed we doubt whether there is any place outside
the cities, where so much musical talent can be
. found. We have a number of -first class teachers
and many superior vocalists and musicians, and «e
feel sure that tbe Association will be a success.
A meeting of the Association was held on Fri
dav evening last, and organized by electing the
the following officers
President—John Shoemaker.
' Vice President—t). Bolder.
Secretary —Hobt. Pitcairn
Treasurer —Thos. L. Caldwell.
Male Managers—David Bell, Andrew Clahangh
and Jeremiah Delu. -■
Female Manager*—Maria Shoemaker, fell*
Huutfs and Matilda Longnecfcer.
Musical Director—Herman L. Delo.
The design of the Association Is to encourage
and cultivate the art of music.. Much time and
inonev is now spent to obtain aducation in mu
sic. vet it profits but little when a number of musi
cian.' are suddenly thrown together, unless they
have had practice in associations.
• One of the articles of tbe constitution provides
for the admission of Honorary Members, on the
payment of $2 per annum, which payment secures
a ticket admitting a gentleman and lady to all re
hearsals and to four concerts per annum, which
;lhc Association designs giving.
The meetings are held on Friday of each week.
The lecture room of the M. E. Church will be the
place of meeting until a suitable hall can he rented.
Those who love music and desire to encourage
the art have now an opportunity to show that love
aad their liberality, by becoming honorary mem
bers. All the officers are authorized to rceieve
subscriptions of persons desiring to become honor
ary members. ’
Vouso Men’s Chbistian Association. —The
Young Men's Christian Association, to which we
have already referred, is now fully organized and
ready to move forward in the work of such socie
ties. Alreadv more interest has been taken in it,
by the young men of the town, than we imagined
would be, yet there ate many whom we know,
whose influence, if thrown in this direction, could
accomplish more good than they have any idea.—
There is nothing denominational about
sociations. The members of all church.es arc found
in them, and also those who are not church mem
bers. \Vc think that no young man can spend one
evening in a week more profitably than by atten
ding the meetings of this Association. True, it
imposes restrictions upon its members, but they
ate only such as will keep them from vice and ele
vate them morally and socially, in the estimation of
the good, whose esteem alone is worth seeking.—
The meetings, tor the present, are held in the lec
ture room of the M. E. Church, every Friday
evening. The officers for the present quarter,
•elected on Friday evening last, are as follows :
President—E. B. McCrum.
Vice President—A. H. Sembower.
Uec. Secretary—J. flicks.
Financial & Cor. Sec’y.—K. DeCharms.
Treasurer—Jasper Benshoflf.

Will He Do It?—Old Winter has lingered so
long in the lap of Spring that it begins to be a
question whether or not the old chap designs vaca
ting the position al all. It is to be hoped, however,
that for shame’s sake, if for no other reason, he will
soon forego the luxurious luxury and betake him
self to a more congenial clime. In fact, he will
confer a special favor on all, and more particularly
upon those who pre wailing the.advent of pleasant
weather before pufchasing’The large and spperb
stock of dress goods with which Hany McPike has
just crowded to overflowing the old store room,
corner of Virginia and Caroline streets, if he will
“vamose the rnnche” at the earliest possible mo
ment. But inthe 'meantime- let it be borne in
mind that Mac has made ample arrangements for
meeting the wants of all in the way of dry goods,
dress goods, groceries, notions, etc., and is still
determined to sustain the reputation the establish
ment has earned of being the cheapest store in
town. Go, see, and be convinced.
y The'“ Devils Uecruits” have been receiving
accessions to their ranks, judging from the increas
ed length of the column ranked oq the outside of
the pavement, in front of the Methodist church,
every. Sabbath evening, at the close of services.—
Some of them evidently feel ashamed of the com
pany they have got into, as they take the rear
rank and cautiously peep over the shoulders of
their companions.' A number of them, however,
are “ bully hoys,” facing the congregation boldly,
sniggering Mid laughing, passing remarks upon
ladies and acting the blackguard generally, just as
their chief officer would have them do. No young
man who has any respect for the female sex, or for
himself, would be found in such a party, and the
lady who accepts the company of .one of these
curb-stone gallants can have bat little respect for
herself.

Thepe Bonds are tented Hinder Act ofGottgreas of March 8,
which provides that all Bowl* Imud* under this Act
shall iw EXEMPT FKOM TAXATION by or under any

nor more Utan forty years from ttetr tell, sklnlU their
redemption FITS PKH CENT. INTEREST WILL BE
PAID IN COIN, on Band* of not over one hundred dollars
annually and on all other Bond* aami-annnaUy. The inter
eat is payable on th* first dayt of March and September la
each year.
'Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon
Bonds, aa they may prefer. Eegiatefwd Bonds are recorded
on the books of the U. S. Treasurer, and can b* transferred
only on the owner’s order. Coupon Bond* are payable to
bearer, and are more convenient for commercial uaea.
Subscribers to this loan will have the option of having:
their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying the
accrued interest iu coin—(or in United State* notes, or the
notes of National Banks, adding £lty per cent, for premia
um j or teceive them drawing interest from th* date of
subscription and deposit. As those Bonds are
EXEMPT FROM MUNICIPAL OR STATE
TAXATION,
their value is increased from one to threw percent, per
anhurn, according to the rate of tax lerlssin various parte
of the country.
At the present rate of premium on gold they pay
OVER EIGHT PER CENT INTEREST
In currency, and are of equal convenience as a permarilnt
or temporaly investment.
ll is believed that no securities offer so great induce
ments to lenders os the various descriptions of U. 9. Bonds.
Inwall other forms of indebtedness, the frith or ability of
private parties or stcck companies or separate communities
only Is pledged for payment, while for the debts of me
United States the whole property of the country Is holden
to socore the payment of (both principal and interest in
coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in soma from $5O up
many magnitude, ou the same terms, and are thus made
equally available to the smallest lender or the largest cap-
italist. They can be converted Into money at any moment.
and the holder will have the benefit of the interest.
It may be useful to state in this connection that the total
Funded Debt df the United States, 011 which interest is
payable in gold, on the 3d day of March. 1864, wds $768,*
965.000. The interest on this debt for the coming fiscal
year will he $45,937,126, while the customs revenue in gold
for the current fiscal year, ending June. 30th, 1864, has
been so far at the rate of over $100,000,000 per annum.
It will be seen that even the present sold revenues of
the Government are largely in excess of the wants of the.
Treasurer for the payment of gold interest, while the re-
cent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the annual
receipts from customs on the same amount of Importations,
to $150,000,000 per annum.
1 ustructions to the National Banks acting as loan agents
were not issued from the United States Treasury unti
March 26, but in the first three weeks of April the sub-
scriptions averaged more than TEN MILLIONS A WEEK.
Subscriptions will be received by the
First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.
