Altoona, Aug 17th, 1864. The above so plainly presents the doty of every citizen liable to'draft, that it seems scarcely ncecssaty that we' should add anythmg thereto, ,c, wo take the occasion to urge upon all an immediate and liberal response to the call ot the Council. Especially should the young men of the who are enrolled, jump at such an offer to lecurc themselves'ifrom the liability of a draft. They have scarcely any taxes m par. and the raking ofa fell or SlOO Bond, even though it should never Ire paid, is the cheapest possible way m which they can .escape the draft. They shonld not flatter themselves that old men, not liable to die draft, who have properly to bo taxed, will .ulunit to, that tax and loan tltfir money on these Bonds als >. all for the accommodation of young man. liable to lire draft, who have no taxes to pay, who give .themselves little concern about it. A considerable portion of the monev raised to pay bounty to avoid jlie last draft was contributed hy men not liable to the draft, and if the young men would be helped again they must evince a willingness to help themselves. The Quotas. —We confess our inability to give an explanation of the,wide difference between the Huoias of the town* of Altoona and Hollidpysburg, and we would like to see a solution of the matter. Below we give the sub-districts in the county, with the number enrolled and the quota of each •. Allegheny, Holiidaysburg. Gayspoft. Tyrone. F rnnkstown, Snyder, Tvrone boro., N. Woodheny. Martinshurg, Taylor, Catharine, Wood hern. Hustdn. Blair, Juniata, Altoona, Logan, Amis, Greenfield, Freedom, From the above ii will be seen that Altoona is required to famish within a fraction of one-fourth l of the entire quota of the count)’, anti that Altoona and Logan township are called upon for over one third of the quota of the county. Do these places constitute over one-third of the county ? Let us compare notes, and in doing so, call up the figures as they appear in the election returns for Governor, last fall. First, Blair county is to furnish 643 men ;of this ntiraber Altoona is to supply 149 and Logan township 74 —making 223, or 11 more than one-third of the quota. Hollidaysburg is to furnish 45 men. There are on the Altoona enrollment list JJ74 names, and on the Hullidays hurg list 204. To arrive atthe difference between the plages, we take the vote of last fall and find that while Altoona polled 831 votes, Hollidaysburg polled 529 —making a difference of 302 votes, and showing Altoona to be a little over one-half larger, in voting population, than Hollidaysburg. This being the case, it would seem to follow that there should be only a little over one-half more name* on the enrollment list of the former than there is on that of the latter ; that is to say, the Hollidaysbnrg list numbering only 204,. the ad dition of one-half (102) to the Altoona list, would give the Utter 306. But instead of 306 we have 674, making Altoona over three times as large as Hollidaysburg. Who can solve this problem ? We find, also, that nnder the call for 800,000 volunteers, made last fall, the quota of Altoona was 92 men, and that of Hollidaysburg and Gayspon 66 men. Now, when the call is fur 500,000 men, we find the quota of Altoona going up to 149 men, while that of Hollidaysbnrg and Gaysport combined comes down to 58. Who will explain;? Again—Altoona is called upon to furnish as many men as the districts of Hollidaysbnrg. Gayspojt, Tyrone township, Frankstown, Snyder and Catharine combined. At the election, last fall, these districts polled 1598 votes or nearly doable the number of Altoona. How is this to he accounted for ? We cannot do it unless it be upon the ground that the great majority of the voters in those districts are over military age, or that they contain a doable portion of physically disabled inhabitants. The men of this place, who are over-age, or who are physically disabled, are very much to blame fer swelling the enrollment list, and they are likejfy to pay for their carelessness.. Had they attended to dye matter, when notice 1 was given, by handbills and otherwise,'their names would have , been stricken from thh list and our quota theretjprredueed; but the time''for such correction haying gone pest, they win now le compelled to pay taxiea to raise bounties for. volunteers to fill the quota made so large by calculating them of proper age add edtmd men. Hunt.—On Thursday morning last a btnkeman named Ditch, employed on the freight train between t-V- place and HoQidaysbntg, had, his ankle dislocated by being thrown from the top of one of ihe cats. While the train was rounding the curve Below Loudonsville. \He was running over tbe cari at the time. ‘ Narrow Escape.—We .witnessed a narrow 1 escape, on Saturday last, which, for a few moments, (although it seemed to ns minutes) perfectly paralized ns, and left a sickening sensa tion which we could not for some time overcome, notwithstanding we kneW’fiie person was safe.— 1 We were standing on the foot-bridge, spanning the railroad tracks, watching an engine and train of freight cara[‘ptdHng grade, over tbo passenger train sidingta front of the Logan House. The Engineer sounded the alarm whistle and we looked for the cause. There, on the truck, just in front of the engine, which Was moving at the rate of four or live miles an hour, was an old lady named Whissel, who sells .cak# and pies to passengers. She was walking in the same direc tion the train was moving and had ' not observed it, nor did the whistle attract her attention. The engine was almost upon I her and could not be stopped and we felt. sure she must be crushed beneath it. The engine passed on( just grazing her clothing, and we found breath.: She had stepped from the trackyWf in time. We watched to see her exhibitions of fright when she discovered her escape from a terrible death; but shq never.turned about, and evidently is unaware, to this hour, of the peril she was in. Our position iva< rendered doubly painful, for the moment, from the fact that we equld do nothing to save her. We hope we may never witness another sight of' the stitna kind, as eyen yet. the remembrance Of it produces feelings.similar to those iwe experienced ai the time. ' I Important to Fruit Growers]—A correspon dent of the Philadelphia Ledger tfriis disposes of the theory relative to coat oil being a remedy fur insects on fruit trees, i Ha says : Ejarly last spring. 1 saw in one of our local papers atlhirtirle in re lation to coal oil being a remedy fqr in<-c<i-. and having some fine apricot and plum trees, t from which I bnd never been able to gef ■ fruit in any quantity, owing to (he ravages of( the curcnlio.) I concluded to try life efficacy of coal- oil, and procured one quart, which I mixed. a- directed, with sawdust, and placed on the ground about ten inches out, around the trunks of three tm-.. also pul ing some on the upper poirtof severe) of the limbs. I made the experiment Just as' the tides wore coming into blossom. For some time I thought then* would be a large, portion of the f ruit mnjtare. hut, after growing about two-thirds the size <jf jxtrfcct fruit, they commenced falling, and 1 did; net -, r ; either a perfect plum or apricot. About' three weeks since J noticed thq leaves on onej of the plums wilting, and they soon became brown as autumn. On examining the tree I found h I entirely dead. In the meantime the apricot commenced in the same manner, and died in a few days. On taking them up I peeled some of the bark near the sur face of the ground and diisfccovercd a strung odor of coal oil, which seemed to have almost ta ken the place of sap. The other plum me (which I did not dose as heavily as the other; 1 have found within a week to be dying. The leave* do not wilt as the others did, but turn yclhtw and fall as from the effect of frost. , No. Enrolled.

It manufactures and commends poisons for others in many temptingly disguised forms. Candies, toys and cakes are ornamented or colored with various poisons. (Arsenite of copper are used in powder to ornament cake,green, or color candies.; The blending of colors in various ways, in candies and on cakes, makes them attractive to t tie eye, but destructive to the health of those who use them. Cakes ornamented with colored dust, candies col ored in such nice style, toys so highly attractive 1,0 children, causa decayed teeth, canker, intestinal inflammation, nauseating headache, cholic, spasms, and often convulsions. Confectionery may be pre pared without coloring material, so as to bo whole some; Gay colors are made, of jidisonous materials, that ought-never to be introduced into food or drinks. Wall paper, ornamented with beautiful green, pretty yellow and lively red, often diffuses, through sleeping and sitting rooms, pn atmosphere impregnated with a poisonous vapor that causes headache, mcausea,dryness of the month and throat, cough, depression of spirits, prostration of strength, nervous affections, boils, watery swellings of the face, cutaneous affections and inflammations of the eyes. These occur in more serious forms in apartments that are not constantly and thoroughly ventilated. ; 2914 oaction.—At0 action. — At this season of the year, it may not; be amiss in us, by way of advice, to caution our readers against the introduction and- too fre quent indulgence of unripe fruit in their “families. This is a time of year, when diseases of a billftms and virulent nature, are most to be expected, even when the strictest caution is observed ; and certainly much more so, when, the individual thoughtlessly indulges in a foolish appetite for the unripe trash which our market is not unfrequently glutted with. Especially in a Borough like ours, where children are so very numeroiis, great atten tion should be paid by parents or ■ guardians, to prevent their children from gormandizing great quantities of fruit which has not fairiy arrived at a state of perfection. Provide for your families a liberal supply of good wholesome .groceries and provisions at Fritchey's cheap store, corner of Caroline and Virginia streets, and you will never have cause to regret it. Those f, wi friendly hints, well meant, if taken into Consideration, we. are convinced, will be conducive of good' results. Goxe into the Navy.— Some Vqur weeks since, Messrs. W. B. Ridenour,! of this place, and Har ry Colclesscr and John Hutchinson, of Logan township, left this place to enter die naval service. IV e learn, from a private letter, that they are all on board the Receiving .Ship, Princeton, at Phila delphia, awaiting orders to ship ;on board some vessel (or active service. The boys seem, by the tope of their'letters, to enjoy theiy “ suits of blue” and “home upon the wave” vqry much.. Our three young friends are now in charge “jßag Room,” and consequently have more com fortable quarters than they otherwise would have obtained. May they have a pleasant and prosper ous time and come home, at the: pud of their en listment, with their health', unimpaired and their knowledge of the world increased; ITbuuso Skckets.— Some witty fellow has said “jell not your secrets in a cornfield ; it has thousands ol ears.” There is one secret, however, which yon may tell eagry where arid to everybody, viz : Buy all your groceries ; and provisions at Fritchey’s cheap store, comer ef Caroline and Virginia streets. He kehps everything you need; his goods are all prime, and will be sold cheap for cash. Killed bt Lwhtmso.—About eight o'clock, on Tuesday evening, the boarding house of Mrs. Shaffer, in East Ward, was struck by lightning, and a voting man, named Clark Milliron. instam ly killed, and Lizzie Williams, daughter of T. J. Williams, of Loudonsville, severely injured’.— Both persons were on the back porcli taking down clothes from nails on the ontside of the house.— The fluid came down the side of the bouse and passed off to them. It passed over die entire per son of the young man, coming out at the toes of his bouts. The tight side and left leg of the young lady were severely burned. It is thought by her physician, Dr. Findley, that she will recover.— The boardinghouse and one or two other build ings in the vicinity were somewhat damage!. Teachers Appointed. —The Board of School Directors, of this place, met on Monday evening last and made the following appointments of teach ers for the ensuing term, commencing on the first Monday’ in September: West Ward. Ist Grade—Primaiy—J. Rutherford, Principal. Maud B. McCrnm, Asst 2d Annie Wolverton. 3d S. B- Taylor. East Ward. Ist Grade—J. U. Carper, Principal, Ella .1. Humes, Assistant. Priscilla M. McCrnm, A. H. Scmbowcr. 2d ,‘- dd “ Worth Remembering.—lt should be recol lected by all those who think of enlisting that after September oth, no bounties, either government or local, will be paid.' All inducements in the way of bounty stop short off at that date. The difference between tire condition of a man subject to draft now and after the draft is very consider able. Now be can get for one years service $4OO bounty, while if drafted he goes into the army without this $4OO. There is another difference also. As a volunteer a man can go into any reg iment he may choose, whilst as a conscript he must go wherever he is assigned. Rail Road Ao i»ent.— On Wednesday night of last week, two freight trains collided in the neighborhood of,Johnstown. The engine and a number of freight cars were thrown from the track and down an embankment. The wreck caught tiro and several,,of the cars were burned. The engineer jumped from'the engine and saved him self. but the fireman went over with the wieck *«id was almost entirely burned up among the debris. His name,- "'its Coli. Ho was a resident of this place. But Voub Matoues.—On the Ist of September the law requires that a one cent stamp be placed on even* box or hunch of matches in the possession of even manufacturer, or wholesale and retail dealer, consequently the price will go up 5i,44 cents per gross. If you yvant to lay in a supply of the article, now i* your time. You can get them at 00 cents per gru>- to-day, while after the Ist ol September they will cost you about $2,25 per gross, if not more, as retailers will be likely to add something for their double in stamping them. Decided.—Tin War Department has decided that the hundred day men are exempt from draft during the jieriod «»Y their term of service. This will exempt from the coming draft all the hun dred daymen now in t(ie service from this State. While they are exempt from draft, however, it does not lesson the quota to bo furnished by each district, as, so far as we can learn, the Provost Marshals have non giym the districts credit there for. Examination or Teachers. — On Saturday lasi. County Sup’t Cimnsman held an examination in the West Ward school house for teachers in the borough of Altoona. Some twenty persons were present for examination, the majority of whom were females. Male teachers, like printers, are becoming scarce these war limes. The examina tion differed nothing, we believe, from many that preceded it, and the qualifications of the applicants seemed to average about ns usual. Becoming. Important. —The “Great Southern Train, 1 ' under of Capt. Dent, running between this place and Hollidayshurg, is becoming an important institution. Two passenger cars are always required, and some times three are necessary to accommodate the tiavelling public. He know that Capt Dent and his train are popular, but the sent out by Capt. Lloyd may hafe something 10 do with tilling the train. ■Steuok iiy Lightning. —On Friday afternoon of last week, during a thunderstorm, one of the scaffolding poles, which had just been raised a few days before, to aid in the erection of the German Reform Churcli. was struck by lightening and shivered to its base. The men, who were working on the scaffold, severe shock, but for tunatelv no father damage was done. SHERIFF Eds. Triuunk :—We desire to announce to the people in your paper, that Mr. Martin Bechtel, of Hollidayshurg, 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 comjietent officer. Besides, he has claims upon ths voters of this County which should not Ire lightly passed over. In the Fall of 1801 he volun teered to fight the battles of his country, and re mained in the service until after the battle of Get tysburg, where he lost an arm, and became thereby incapacitated for further active duty, fie 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 the people of Blair county if they per mit his noble services to go unrewarded, now that they have an opportunity of testifying their grat itude. We also ask you to publis|t the following card of Mr. Beehlel, containing his written consent to become a candidate. At the solicitation of numerous citizens, without distinction of Tarty, I 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 my ability.

I employed in that time five of the most eminent physicians iu Philadelphia. They did all they could foe me with med icines and cupping, but still 1 was pq better. I then went to tile Pennsylvania University, in order to place myself iu reach of the best medical talents in the country, but their medicines (ailed to do me any goodjjmd oftentimes I wished for death to relieve me of my sufferings, but see ing Dr. Wishart’s advertisement In the Philadelphia Bul letin, 1 determined to try once more, but with little faith. I culled on Dr. Wlshaet, and told him if I could have died I would not have troubled him, and then related my suf ferings to him. The Doctor assured me if he failed to cure me of Dyspepsia it would be the first case in two years, so 1 put myself under his treatment, aud although for mouths vomiting nearly all I ate, my stomach swelled with wind,, and filled with paio beyond description, I bought a box of his Dyspepsia PUls. I used them as directed, and in ten days 1 could eat as hearty a meal as a ny| person in the State of Petmsy lyanm, and in thirty days was a well man. I invite any person suffering as 1 was to call and see me, and I will relate my suffering aud the great cure I receiv ed. 1 would say to all Dyspeptics, everywhere, that Dr. Wishartis, I believe the only person on the earth that cau cure Dyspepsia with any.degree of certainty.
