Dastardly Ocibaoe amd Eobbbey.—The residents of Sinking Valliy, in Blair county, were $1 thrown into a considerable state of terror and ex citement during the *eek before last by the (recounts of a glaring outrage perpetrated there, the particulars of which wo are enabled to present our readers! They are as follows : An individual, the description of whose appearance we could not learn, came in the morning to the residence of Mr. John Crawford, in the valley, and desired to pur chase some stock; but being told by the house keeper that Mr. C. was away, and that she could riot comply with his request, the man took his do rture satisfied, no doubt, that he had gleaned £ m«h information. In the afternoon about 3 o'clock the same person renewed his visit, and it wss believed, from the continual barking of dogs ul on the premises, that he had loitered about the dwelling from the lime of his first appearance. This time, with bold effrontery, bo made known hi. object, and demanded of the housekeeper a purse belonging to Mr. Crawford. The womaq, surprised at the impudence of the audacious ras cal, and thinking that by her own unaided power i she’ could not eject him from the house,, had re- I course to strategy, and informed him she would go and get the puree, but at the same lime intend ing to ring a bell upon the premises, and thereby alarm the neighbors, and obtain their assistance in capturing the villain. She thereupon started, f but the wary rogue, suspecting treachery, imme diately chased and caught her; she endeavored to f her utmost to elude his grasp, and struggled vig orously to prevent him from tying her with a cord I he had succeeded in obtaining. But all to no purpose; the inhuman scoundrel effectually lied her hands, and then cast her into a closet the door of which he closed and fastened upon her. He I then went in search of the purse and other valua [ hies in- the rooms of the dwelling, having free scope and liberty to effect his nefarious intentions. He obtained the purse, which, fortunately, con tained but an insignificant sum, and then struck for other quarters, leaving the housekeeper still confined in the close closet. From this confine ment she was released by Mr. Crawford’s daugh- ter, who had relumed from school. So tightly had the villain bound her wrists, that the marks were visible several days after the event. Another Bobbert.— During the same week and in the same Valley, the house of Mr. Smith Wilson was entered after night, and a trunk taken therefrom. The depredator conveyed the same to an adjoining field, where he opened it and ex tracted the sum of $3OO in specie, as also other valuable, to the amount of $2500. We have no room to comment* upon these out rages, but we would caution the residents of the Valley, as also of all other places, to keep a strict and vigilant watch upon the actions of any suspi cions individuals who might chance to come in their way. We have much to dread from rebel spies as well as robbers, who now prowl the country. Should the individual guilty of the above robberies be apprehended and arrested, we trust he will suffer punishment to the full extent of the law, and his example prove a significant warning to his brethren in crime. —Huntingdon Globe. Terrible Dkath of XJ.'J- Joses. —We are sorry to chronicle the sudden and terrible death of U. J. Jones, a life long member of the reporto rial and editorial fraternity, and a practical printer, which occurred at Harrisburg on the evening of the 18th pit. It appears that he was on the track of the Northern Central Railroad, in the vicinity j of the Depot, and was knocked down and run over ; by a passenger train which was backing over from I the south side of the river. No one saw the oc currence, and his body was only discovered by [ the while oiling his engine, who stum -1 hied over his feet, which protruded from under the I •cow-catcher. His body was much bruised, his I anus broken, and a hole, similar to that made by a I spike, was found in bis forehead. He was taken I to a room in the Depot, and an inquest held over I him. The deceased was about' forty-five years of I age. For a number of years he was connected I with his brother-in-law, 0. A. Trangb, in the pub- I lication of the Hollidaysburg Standard, and was I the author of that popular and valuable work en- I titled “Jones’History of the Juniata Valley.” He I also compiled and published the best descriptive \ ( hand-book of the route of the Pennsylvania Cen .trill Railroad that has ever been issued. For sever al »I years past he has been connected with the Har :rioburg Patriot and Union as local editor, or been as a reporter in the House of Represent atives. His productions always displayed a clear ...taad brilliant intellect, and his services were ever in demand. He leaves n wife and four children. Taa Concert.— Tiie Philharmonic concert, in the Lutheran church, on Thanksgiving evening, was all, and more, than we promised our readers 1, it would be. It was the grandest entertainment of the kind ever given in this place, or in any •other place outride of the cities, and it has only ibefcn excelled in the cities by reason of greater numbers in the society and more appropriate buil dings it which to give the entertainment. There are just as good .voices in the country as there are in the city, and equal - musical talent, and all that is necessary to get up entertainments in the coun try which will equal those of the cities is a union of the voices and talent, and practice. This union and practice is the object of the Philharmonic •ociety, and the benefit is seen and duly appreci ated. The church was filled to repletion with a highly delighted audience. The expressions of satisfaction were many and flattering. We are pleased to announce that the society intend giving another concert bn Monday evening, Dee. 22d, in aid of the “Soldiers’Monument Fund.” Apoloqt. —Unfortunately, bnr principal news paper compositor, mistaking Thanksgiving day for the Fourth pf July, took on a heavy load of brick, and having indulged too freely in tangle-leg tan »ey lea, was unable to carry the load and work for 38 at the same time. Being crowded with job work, we could not spare a hand from that de partment, and hence were forced to forego the is suing of a paper last week. We have, at other tunes, been somewhat inconvenienced by the ef fect of King Alcohol, on those upon whom we depended, bet never before have we been forced **«by to miss the publication of out paper, and we shall try to avoid delay* from the same cause hereafter.

John Boyer Henry Garland E W Thompson William McAteer David Gales Thomas Logo Cnrtih Hart James Ginter James Dickson Through to Lock Haven. —The Bald Eagle vally Railroad, from Tyrone to Lock Haven, con necting the Pennsylvania Central and Philadelphia & Erie Railroads was opened through, from Belle fonte to Lock Haven, on Thursday last, and trains are now about to be run regularly over the route. This road is about seventy miles in length, and forms an important connection between different portions of the State, and between the East and West. One important consideration to this locality is that we are now as contiguous to the anthricite coal regions as the citizens of Harrisburg, and we shall hereafter be able to. get this quality of coal at the same figure asked for’it at that market, thereby saving the freight from that point to this, as well as the dealers per centage. We understand that it can now be delivered at Tyrone at the rate of $lO per ton—the Harrisburg price We hope that a supply of the “black diamonds” from the anthracite regions may soon find their way over the new route, as $l5 per ton is a little too, steep. Abundant. —We learn from hunters, who have been in the woods hereabouts several times this fall, that deer have not been more numerous for several years, in fact, not since the location Of this town. They are all in fine condition. , Some of the heaviest we have ever heard of have been killed this season. Old hunters say that there are deer now in this locality which do dot belong here, be ing .larger and the bricks having different shaped antlers from those usually found on these moun tains. It is supposed that they have came hither, either from New York State, or from the mountains of Virginia. Almost every train from the East brings hunters to ] the mountains, but we doubt whether all of them get sufficient venison to com pensate them for their Joss of time, railroad fare and destruction of shoe leather. Peitt Thieving. —Our town appears to be plentifully supplied, at this time, with petty thieves, who will appropriate anything, from a loaf of bread up to a quarter of beef. : , A week or two since, gome scamp entered the chicken coop of Esquire Humes and appropriated about a dozen chickens. On Thanksgiving evening, the same, or another, scamp, entered the cellar of Rev. Curry, while the family were at the Philharmonic Concert, and appropriated the largest portion of a quarter of beef which he had cut up and prepared for salting. In another case, a tub full of clothes were removed, without authority, from the back door of a resident of the North Ward. They have not yet been re turned. It would be well for our citizens to put all things, which they wish to keep, under lock and key, otherwise they may not be on hand when wanted. yy go fashionable has it become to wear fare that the ladies do not consider themselves dressed unless they can top off with a set of “Fitch” or “Sable.” We like the fashion. It looks com fortable on a cold day, and is certainly conducive to health. With high-heeled and thick soled shoes (the most sensibly ladies’ fashion ever adop ted) and a set of furs,.a lady looks like a woman on the streets. By the way, Dan Laughman has just received the finest; and largest assortment of fors ever brought to the town, embracing capes, collars, wrist furs, muffs, &c., for ladies and misses. Just call at his store, next door to the Post office, and view his stock. He will sell you a set at the right figure, , The Comwo Fair, —Wednesday, Bth day of December, has been fixed upon for the opening of the Fair in aid of Sti John’s (Catholic) Church, of this place, and the. unparalleled success the ladies engaged in the enterprise have met with in securing valuable and beautiful articles for exhi bition and sale, leads u$ to believe that there will be nothing wanting to i render the Fair a really delightful and attractive entertainment. It will be much greater in display and more elaborate in attraction than the laM one, and we expect will meet with the encouragement it deserve*, i ■ ■ | James Martin tevi Genniger Jeremiah M Green William Galbraith Anthony Stallman Bernard 0 Connor .Daniel Hemshier Eewroy Kilt' George Potts.....

PROSPECTUS FOB THE NEW TEAR. Ou assuming control of the Commercial, at the com mencement of the year, the present conductors announced* their determination to infuse a new life and rigor into its columns which should render the paper more than over acceptable to the reader. The rapid increase in circulation, flattering notices of our cotemporaries, and congratulatory letters from every quarter, assnie us that our. efforts have not been unsuc cessful. The Commercial has grown daily in public favor until it now ranks among the leading Journals in the country. In order to keep pace with the demands of the reading public, and at the same time meet the increasing pressure on our advertising cotuqins, we soma months since in creased the dimensions of the paper to the extent of four columns. Among the leading features are full and reliable TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS; from &11 the leading points of interest. It devotes special .attention to including the iron, oil, cattle, lumber, tobacco, and the Pittsburgh general markets. Onr RIVER NEWS, receives particular attention, and in this Department the Commercial has no rival. f The FINANCIAL Alio STOCK REPORTS, of the Commercial are prepared with care and will be found to be unusually full;and reliable. Also, the Reports of the LEADING MARKETS OP TBS COUNTRY, embracing reports of the Dry Goods and Wholesale mar kets, and Special Repoits of oil, stock finance and trade, from day‘to-day. While special attentionlwill be given to- those several Departments, the Commercial lays claim to rank among the leading Journals of the country as a medium of GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. Its »im is to give none but healthy reading suited to the family Circle,Tand to be a welcome visitor to the dis criminating public- * forms a peculiar feature of the Commercial.

Johnson :—Dtar Sir: I wish to say a word or two in favor of 1 your Rheumatic Compound and Blood Purifier. 1 have been afflicted with Rheumatism, more or leas, for over twenty years. A great part of that time I was very bad. 1 tried a great many rheumatic medicines but received very Utile benefit from them. On the first of last January, 1 was so bad that 1 was entirely helpless. I could not write my own name; I could only lie on one side. While reading in the United Presbyterian paper 1 saw a notice of your Rheumatic Compound and Blood Purifier. 1 was afraid at first that it might Lo like other remedies that 1 have tried, but as it was in a religious pa per I concluded to give it a trial. So I got a bottle, used U, and found myself a Uttle better. I used three bottles more, and 1 am happy to say that 1 have neither pain or . ache. lam sixty-eight years of age, 1 can lie on either side, travel for half a day at a time and not be fatigued. I believe your Rheumatic Compound and Blood Purifier to be the best medicine ever offered to the Public for the cure of rheumatism. If you think this note, with my name to it, will be of any use to you or a suffering public; you are at liberty to use them. Yours with respect, JOHN I. LOCKHART.^ Ma. JoHifsbw Dear Sir: My wife had been afflicted with neuralgia for a long time. It commenced ou her in 1859. She was so bod with it that she was obliged to lie in bed about four day* in the week. ShetrUd everything that we heard of that was recommended for that 'disease but she got do relief; then we tried medical advice but it done do good. At last 1 thought she must die, os I 'thought there was no cure. Butin*he spring of 1803,1 believe in March, a daughter of Mr. Dickey’s, wTio lives in the with me, said, “Why dont you get Johnson’s Rheumatic Compound and Blood Purifier. It cured my father of the rheumatism when he was a cripple, and the doctor could do nothing for him. ; ’ So I got a bottle of your medicine, and before my wife had the half of it used, she was cured. It is sow more than a year since, and she has not been troubled, with it since. This I can testify to, on oath. . Yours, LBWIO HILKB, Pittsburgh, April lltb, Ryan’s Court. Prepared by B. E.
