Among themany exciting scenes which the present campaigns, of out armies, are twinging* before the minds of the 'people, there seem to. be but few, who are aware that in leas than two months, or on tiie font Tuesday in August, the citizens of cur commonwealth will be caHed upon at the ballot-box, to decide as to whether . cur State Constitution shall be anunended by the insertion of three additional sec tions. . The first of these sections, which will, if adopted, be - the fourth' section of the third article provides for the gtanting of our Soldiers in the field, the same privel ege of vbting which they would enjoy at their’ homes.; Phis privilege they have hertofore, .and we how, by the Constitution denied. Certainly noncitizens are more'entitled to a voice in the choice pf the officers of our Government,; than they who are day by day, periling their lives to maintain dial Government. We hope to see this amendment pass by ; a unanimous vote, and then when election day comes around > again, the brave boysteeling that they are not forgotten, will step up to the,polls and take an active part in the determining whozhall exercise the power of making and executing the laws under which they live and battle, and for the maintainance of which they are willing to die. The other two sections, which willbe, Af adopted, the Bth and 9th of the eleventh Article, have in view, first, the prevent ting th* passage of certain bills which are in tbpmselves objectionable, but being linked with others of limportance are thus pressed through .both houses. Section Bth provides that no' bill shall *jpass the Legisla ture, containing mote than one subject, which shall beclearly expressed in the title, except appropriation bills. Those who hove been careful observers of Legislative pro ceedings, Will at once recognize the ira- pdrtance pf this amendment,; as a safe guard against the pressing through of un- important, and even ruinous measures, most generally under the superinten- dence of lobby members. Section 9th provides that the Legisla ture shall grant no powers, or privileges, where the authority to grant such powers and privileges has been, or may hereaf ter be, conferred upon the courts of the Commonwealth, thus confining the grant ing of certain local powers and privileges to where they justly; belong, the courts of their own districts and locality. These important amendments are now before the people, and as public jour nalist* we press upon our readers the ob ligations resting upon them ah citizens of the noble Keystone State, to examine and duly consider this matter, so that when the first Tuesday in August chmes round they may be able to vote intelligently upon these amendments. > Sometimes we hear pur neighbors say, well 1 dfln’t care which way the election goes, It won’t materially alter my con dition. yon should remember you have a duty to perform to others as well as yourself ; and if you feel that a -certain measure will tend to the pubtfc good you are in duty bound to vote for it, or if the contrary, to vibte against it. Let one and all do their duty. Odb CaiOßic.—After sundry delays in procuring the necessary fixtures to make the attachment between our new caloric engine and power press, the work has at last been completed, and all things are now working to our pieaunent, and much to the satisfaction of the “boys,’’ who have here tofore performed by the caloric. This number of oui*paper is printed on the “pi oneer .power {ness,” driven by the pioneer caloric engine of the Juniata Valley.— Quite a crowd of persons have called to see the engine work. • This is .a mechani cal place, and almost every man is either £ builder of, or knows considerable about engines, yet our caloric is something new and has attracted much attention from ma- Where light power is required, calorie appears to*be taking the lead, for the reason that they consume so little fuel, require no water, never freeze up and can not explode. /The latter is an important consideration where the engine must often b* entrusted to the care of inexperinced persons. We now coraider ourselves pre pared to Undertake job and book work to •n^amount The Draft. Holudaysbukg, June 2, 1864. Messrs. Editors herewith send a list of those draftedjiin this county.

Weeks ago, ;before the warm weather set in, we earn estly, but respectfully called the attention ■ of our Chief Burgess and Town Council j to the filthy condition of our town—to thfe I fact that most of the gutters along the streets were filled up with mud and filth, and thrown there during the win--: : ter, and to the peculiarly bad condition of .many of the alleys, stables and hog pens ijn j the most thickly settled part of the towifsi- We had hoped that, without anything ;furtber, the citizens in the neighborhood of these nuisances would have abated them and taken such steps as would have aided their own health and comfort. In this, it seems, we were mistaken, and we were glad to see the Borough Authorities meet and pass an Ordinance to meet the cases. All that is wanting now is for them to enforce it, and we call on them to do so. We call on them to make good their proc lamation. No making fish of me and flesh of another. No lopping off of small branch es and allowing the trunk and root to re main. We have been requested by many persons to call their attention to the sta bles of the Logan House, on Virginia street. (We don’t know why it should re quire us to mention particular places iu public print, in order to attract the atten tion of our councilman, but at the request of injured and suffering citizens we do so for once.) The odor from this stable is so offensive that it is almost impossible, we are in formed, for residents of houses con- tiguous to keep their front windows or doors open. This being the Case, it is a nuisance which should be abated without delay. The authorities can scarcely ex pect other parts of the town to be put in proper condition while this central and most complained of nuisance remains un abated, Let the Council enforce their Ordnance against all, and all will recog nize their prudence and wisdom. Will they do it? Attempted Bukglabt.—On the night of 27th, ult., just after the Fast Line East had passed, Mr. Mclntire, night clerk of the Logan House, went up stairs; and dis covered that the gass in the hall which extends through the length qf the build ing was turned down lower than usual.— Suspecting someting wrong, he advanced to the middle of the hall, and raised the .light suddenly, when at the farther end of the hall hd heard the exclamation, “ogh!” and looking in that direction, discovered | an individual, who evidently had been at tempting to effect an entrance into an ad joining room. This individual disappear ed in a short hall turning to the left. Mr. Mclntire, fearing lest the thief might escape, unless he had help, called Mr. Mil ler, whose room was near by, who imme diately came to his assistance. Mr Meln tire then discovered that Mr. D. Caldwell’s door was standing wide open, and asked Mr. C. “what he was doing with his door open at that time of night.’’ Mr. C. ar oused and said: “Is it open? My coat js gohe with thirty-live hundred dollars!” The theif was traced to the water closet, where the coat and money with a pair of nippers for opening doors, having a key in the lock from the inside, were found, but the burgler had evidently escaped to some bed room, as he could not have left the house without being Mr. Mc t Intire’s suspicions fell upon a man who j the previous evening had registered his ; name, “John Cline,” and going to his room ' found it unlocked but the gentleman in bed. | He affected to have no knowledge of the case, but was, nevertheless arrested and committed,and now awaits 4 trial. All honor is due to the management of the house, find to Mr. Mclntire’s vigilcnce. For not only was Mr. C.’s money restored to him, but an assurance is given to those who may visit the Logan House, that notwith ; standing thieves may come in the garb of ! honest men, yet a close watch will be kept that uo ultimate harm may befall the vis itors at this excellent hotel. Company F, 76th P. V.—Capt. Jos. E. i Findley-sends to his father the following Ust of killed and wounded, in his company, : in the fight on June Ist : Killed —Private John M. Knox. ; Wouhded —Color Sergt., James A. Gwin, privates Thomas Reed, William Ball, Geo. W. Gibbony, Joseph Shultz, Sanford Smith, Samuel Dell, Harry K. Ruttbn. ; Our readers will remember that during last winter we publisheda letter fromJno. If. Knox, noted above as killed, detailing his experience while a prisoner in the hands of the Rebels, he having been captured at .the timeof Gilmore’s decent upon the Rebel Works on Morris Island, S. C. It may be tfuly said of him lie “suffered, tiled and died for his country.” Pic-Nic of Public Schools.—Satur day the 28th ult., was truly a gala-day to the children of Aloona. The day pre vious had been fixed upon as the time fur the Aunual Pic-Nic of the public schools, but alas! the morn came with a clouded sky, threatening rain, and many little hearts grew sad, for hltle children feel the pangs of disappointment as well as those of larger growth. The Pic-Nic was post poned until the day following, when, like the sky, the faces of five hundred children had thrown off the clouds they wore the previous day, and' like the sun-light fal ling upon the green earth, their little eyes sent forth the sparkling light of joy. About ten o’clock the schools from the ,East and west Wards fell into procession, and moved from either direction to the corner of Annie and Virginia streets, where they met and united in one.— Moving from, thence they proceeded to Miller's woods, where preperations had been made for them, to enjoy themselves in various ways. And they did enjoy themselves, romping and singing—swing ing and talking—eating and drinking (we hope nothing stronger than water) until the sun begun to move down rapidly to ward its western bed, and many little limbs grew tired—when all returned' to their home pleased with tlieir days enjoy ment. All honor to those who aided in scattering these bright flowers along the cbildred’s pathway. Anothek. —The Pic-Nic of the public schools was followed, on Tuesday, the 31st ult., by the 1 May festival of the Catholic Church in this place. The pro cession after forming, marched through some of the principal streets of town, the May Queen, with her attendants forming quite an attraction. The procession was large, and at intervals banners bearing patriotic and religious mottoes were borne, and not the least among then all the “ Stars and Stripes,” the flag of the free, was seen. They too, wound their way to Miller’s woods where they spent the day in their usual happy manner. We were not pres ent but we hear but one opinion expressed, and that is, that it was hard to beat.— They too, like those of Saturday, were favored with a beautiful day, an almost cloudless sky, and balmy breezes. These scenes almost lead us to moralize a little, and contrast the happy condition of our own land, even now, when it is shaken by cruel war, with the condition of many lands where 'the gospel is not heard, and where children enjoy no such happy privileges. Little readers, you ought to feel thankful for this, and not only enjoy but improve these golden opportunities as they pass. Sad Accident. —On the night of the Ist inst., when a Locomotive No. 249, was approaching Newton Hamilton, an explosion occurred by which the upper portion of the Locomotive was carried away, resulting in the instant death of the Engineer, Air. Samuel Saylor, of Alex andria, Huntingdon county, who was blown to some distance from the engine, and frightfully mangled. He leaves a wife with several children, we understand. Charles Hileman, a young man about twenty years of age, son of Mr. Samuel Hileman, of this place, was fireman, and though not carried away by the explosion, nor bruised, so far as we can learn by the fragments, was nevertheless exposed to the escaping steam, which not only scalded his face and body, but being in haled, was the cause of his death. He clung to the engine until it reached New ton Hamilton, where, after lingering about five hours, his spirit took its fight. We have hot been able to learn, with any degree of certainty, to what cause the ex plosion is to be attributed. Dead. —Lieut. Robt. Clark, F, 2d Pa. Reserves, and brother of Capt. John Clark, of same company, died at the resi dence of the latter, in this place, on .the 3d inst. Lieut. Clark was wounded in the leg, while charging a rifle pit during the nine days battle, near Spottsylvania. While making the charge, his brother, Captain Clark, fell from exhaustion and the Lieu tenant took charge of the company and led it on. When within about forty yards of the rebel works, a rifle ball struch him in the leg, below the knee, shattering the bone. He was carried off the field and, as soon as he recovered sufficiently to travel, he came to Altoona. The wound, however, proved to be a fatal onefond from the effact of it he died. His corpse was escorted to the o»rs, on Sunday evening, by a large con course of citizens, proceeded by martial music. Bali.
