PuKrAiunoi.—Our people seem disposed to
awake to a realization of their danger and prepare
to repel the injvaders of our State, and prevent
them from visiting our town or destroying any
portion of the railroad. The men of the Juniata
Valley can, if they will, prevent the invaders from
ever setting foot npon their soil. The proper place
to stop the invader is at the border and not at our
doors. They din be stopped on the border, pro
vided every man capable of bearing arms will at
once enroll himself in a military organization and
holil himself ini readiness to march, on short no
tice, to the threatened locality. It is not required
of those thtui enrolling themselves that they
leave their daily avocations, but simply that they
be enrolled in companies and select their officers,
and the officers l thus selected report to the officer
in charge of thb district. By so doing, the com
maoding officer will know upon whom to call and
men will knowjwhere to report, and the deiav and
confusion of forming organizations, when there is
noviine to be lost, will be avoided. Equipments
and subsistence yvill be furnished to all so enrolled
whenever theyiare callpd into service.
Should the citizens of all the towns and town
ships effect sn <b organizations there wonid be no
difficulty in cajling out a large force on short no
tice, and there! would lio less danger of invasions.
five companies are now being organized in this
place in accordance with Gen. Couch's recommen
dation, under jthe following Captains, viz; John
Mi Clark, IE J. Crozier, A. C. Devlin, Andrew
Hippie, ffm, Boydeu.
Corner Stone Laving.— The religious servi
ces connected with laying the Corner Stone of the
Geyman, Reformed Church, in Altoona, tool; place
on last Sundayjmoming at 10 o’clock. Theservi
cea at the foundation were conducted by Rev. C.
Cort, the past<|r, according to the form prescribed
in the provisional Liturgy of the Reformed Church.
The “Philljiarpioic Society” was present and
sotig very beajutifuilv the piece entitled ‘' Walk
About Zion.”j The attendance was quite large
and the services interesting. A copy of the Sacred
Setiptures, Minutes of the last meeting of the
Chtssis and Synod, with which the Church is con
nected, with religious periodicals of the denomina
tiqn, and the jHeidelbnrg Catechism, were deposi
ted in the Conner Stone.
After this the congregation (adjourned to the

founding of thfe Church at Thes. and the Reformed
Church in Altoona. He also showed that the
qi|a|ifications jiecessaiT to succeed in such a
laudable undertaking were those commanded by
thh Apostle, Vi*; ‘“Their labor' of faith, their labor
of love and patience of hope.”

grata Teachees’ AasociATTON.—The regular
Annual Meetiag of this Association convened in
this place on Tuesday, the 2d inat., at 10 o’clock
A. M., in the United Brethren Church. Mr.
Ingram, the Pramdent, being absent, Mr. Geist,
of Lancaster, one of the Vice Presidents, was
called to the chair; Mr. Ermentrout, of Beading,
acting, as Secretary.
The meeting opened with prayer by Bev. Dr.
Gearhart, of Lancaster. ! Bar.. C. Oort, of this
place, then delivered a very pleasing and appro
priate address of welcome, which was happily
responded to by Mr. Woodrnf, Snpt. of Chester
county.
On motion of Mr. Brmentront, of Berks Co., a
Committee was appointed to report on means best
calculated to aeciire a foil attendance of members
arour Annual Conventions. Committee consists
of Messrs. Ermentrout, Sharp and Nenfer.
Beraarka on this subject were made by Mr.
Chnbback, Mr. Coburn, State Superintendent,
and others, after which the Association adjourned
until 2 o’clock P, M.
i A report written by Mr. McKee, of Westmore
land Co., was read by Supt. Jack. Subject, Illus
trated Science. Discussed by Messrs. Haldeman,
Harlan, Alien, Woodrnf, Coburn and
otheij. The discussion occupied the whole of the
afternoon session. /
The Association met in the M. E. Church. S.
D. Ingram,’ the President of the Association,
having arrived, delivered bis Annual Address.—
Of this Address we need only say it was such as
we might expect from -the head and heart of the
President of such a noble Association. Mr. In
gram was followed by ,Bev, Dr. Gearhart, Presi
deht of Franklin and Marshall College. The
Dr.’s subject was ll The Education of the Moral
Nature," which be handled as only a scholar and
a Christian could handle it. We are only sorry it
was not heaid by more of our citizens.

Prayer by Hev. Enncntrout. Minutes of yes
terday’s session read, sifter which Mr. Ennentrout,
of Berks co., presented a report on “ The Natural
Order of' Mental Developement. ”
The subject of “ Tfa Number of Simultaneous
Studies,” was then discussed by Messrs. Shoema
ker, v Draw, Sharp,; Syphers and others, some ad
vocating only three simultaneous studies and oth
ers declaring very ’pertinently, we thought, that
the whole matter must be governed by circum
stances.
7,800 00
The forenoon session closed with an address by
Mr. Brown, of Cincinnati, on the subject of Bead
ing. Mr. B. was very happy m his illustrations
of the various methods of reading. Some of his
samples created a great deal of merriment, but
one need not travel many miles from home, to be
convinced that his reipgprks concerning the man
ner in which reading is taught, are true, and that
his illustrations were not over-drawn.
The Association meets again this afternoon and
to-morrow. We believe it is the intention to ad
journ in the forenoon io attend the religious ser
vices of the day, and then hold the closing session
in the afternoon.
$19,281 45
This (Wednesday) evening the Association will
meet in the M, E. Church, and be addressed by
Dr. Thos. Hill, President of Harvard College.
Subject—“ The necessity of a true order in Stu
dies.” This will be followed with an Essay by
Miss Kate M. V. Smith, of Maucb Chunk.
We are informed that the attendance from a
distance is larger than for three years past, but we
are sorry-to see so little interest manifested by oar
citizens tU the matter.- We notice that those in
terested and those engaged in educational matters
in our midst, seem to pass by on the other side,
or only drop in as though governed by mere-curi
osity. We hope more interest will be manifested
to-night and to-morrbw.
Dkaj>.—Another noble, heroic youth has given
his life for his country, has fallen a martyr in the
cause of Constitutional Liberty. We refer to the
death of Daniel Webber, of Capt. Huff's compa
ny, 184th Regt. P. V., who was wounded in the
right arm in one of the battles before Richmond.
After being.taken to-a'field hospital near Wash
ington he was attacked with chronic diarrhcea,
and not seeding in ' getting it checked in the first
stages, he was soon confined to his bed. It wad
then deemed best, by his friends* to bring him
home, and he was brought up on Saturday week.
But the disease had done its work and at noon on
Monday last, he slept the sleep that knows no
waking. The deceased was about 21 years of age.
He left ns but four short months since in the bloom
of health, now he ishnmbered with the dead.—
He was esteemed fpr his social qualities and will
be long jemembered by his associates.
Who Knew Hut ?i— Mr. Loudon, who received
the following letter, has been .unable to find any
person who knew the referred to, and he
has handed it to ns for publication, hoping that
the friends of the deceased may thereby obtain a
knowledge of his fate: -

Mr. A. Locoon t^—Sir —This morning I was
requested by members of the Sanitary Commission
here, to write to some one m your, town, informing
them of the death of Nicholas Long, of Captain
H. B. Huff’s Company, 184th Reg’t Penn’aVols.
He died last night, at 9 o’clock, of fever. I as
sisted in burying him this morning. He is buried
in grave No. 9, in the Bth row, 2d Corps Ceme

good soldier. 1 did not ascertain whether he had
any effects,

Fa»t Day.—To-morrow (Thursday) has been
set apart ty the President of the United States at a
day of “ F eating,, Humiliation and Prayer, ” in new
of the state of the country. A sermon appropriate
to the occasion will be preached in the Presbyte
rian Church, at 11 o'clock A. M., by Her. B. M.
Wallace.
J Prayer meeting will he held in the Baptist
Church at 10 o'clock A.' M.
We hope to see a general suspension of business
on that day. We roust remember from whom
all our help cometh, and suitably reverence our
benefactor, else we may expect the chastisement
justly due our carelessness. As national sins are
not punishable in the next world, we may expect
them to be punished in this, and we should there
fore endeavor to atone for than by fasting, humil
iation and prayer, that the. wrath of that Being,
in whose hands are the destinies of; men and na
tions, may be appeased, and peace and prosperity
granted ns once more.
Eos. Tkibufjs : : —We desire to announce t 5 the
people in your paper, that Mr. Martin Bechtel,' of
Hollidaysburg, will be a candidate for Sheriff of
Blair County at the coming election . Mr. Bechtel
is an honest, intelligent man, and would make a
very competent officer. Besides, he has claims
upon ths voters of this County. which should not be
lightly passed over. 1 n the Fall of 1861 be volun
teered to fight the battles of his country, and re
tnained in the service until after the battle of Get
tysburg, where be lost an arm, and became thereby
incapacitated for further active duty. Ha is now
at home, crippled for life, and is unable to secure a
livelihood by labor. Every principle of gratitude,
honor and patriotism demands that we should take
care to reward our crippled heroes for their sacri
fices and bravery. To save our State from invasion,
and our homes from desecration, he periled his life,
and lost a limb, and we very! much mistake the
patriotism of tlie people of Blair county if they per
mit his noble services to go unrewarded, mow that
they have an opportunity of testifying their, grat
itude. We also ask you. to publish the following
card of Mr. Bechtel, containing his written consent
to become a candidate, t
At the solicitation of numerous citizens, without
distinction of Party, 1 hereby consent to become
a candidate for Sheriff of Blair county, at the
coming election, and if elected I will perform the
duties of the office to the best of mr ability.

It may b useful to itata iu this connection that the total

for the current fiscal! year, ending June 30th, has
been so for at the raU of over $100,000,000 per annum.
It will be seen that even the present gold revenues of
the Government are largely in excess of the Wants of the
