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.
Dear. —A supplementary draft for those town
ships in this county deficient on former quotas
was made on the 324 nit, at the Provost Marshal’s
Office. - The draft is for MO per cant, in addition
to the number required to make up for exemp
tions, &c. J ;

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*,

GIVES THE EARLIEST AND FULLEST
INTELLIGENCE.
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. By giving
every Saturday an Origin*! Sermon, prepared expressly
by a Minister of the Gospel, in Pittsburgh or vicinity,
(which, also, goes into the weekly,) fifty-two discourses
are given in the year, by pot less than twenty or thirty
different Ministers, without regard to denominational dis
tinction. This Department of the Commercial has attrac
ted much attention; and arrangements are being made to
increase its recognised importance and value. As a fea
ture at once novel and instructive, it constitutes not the
least of the many claims of the Commercial to patronage.
In politics the Commercial will bo an nndeviating sup
porter of the Union, and earnestly loyaltotbe Govern
tment, and as far as consistent with this«£m, free from
Partisanship.

RHEUMATIC COMPOUND
AMD
BLOOD PURIFIER!
THIS GREAT TVTERHAL REMEDY
Is the best medicine ever offered to the public. For the
effectual cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia
and as a Uiooa Purifier it has no equal, for all diseases
arising from an impure state of the blood, such as Scrofula
or Bang’s Evil, Scald Head, Tetter, King Worm, Female
Complaints, and ail breakouts on the free or body. I'he
.vast number of rub-on medicines which formerly have
been used for those diseases, were merely temporary in
their effects, and of deobtfui virtue, but
THE RHEUMATIC COMPOUND
Beaches the source of all trouble, and effectually bauUbee
the disease from the system, by its immediate action on
the blood. We advise one And all to give it a trial, and
become satisfied of its wonderful power. ;
Bead the following testimonials of men and women
of unquestionable character;
Me. Joebson;— Rear Nir.*-— I Tide is to certify, that 1
was badly crippled with Chronic Rheumatism for eighteen
or twenty years; part of that time 1 was not able to go
about. 1 tried ail the rheumatic remedies that 1 could
hear but found no relief until 1 tried your Rheumatic
Compound and Blood Purifier. X used three-fourths of a
bottled it,and it cored me sound and well; My wife
also wss afflicted with the same disease, and‘a small por
tion of it cured her. lam nearly seventy yeats of age;
and it is over four years since 1 was cured, and | have not
been troubled with it since. It affords me great pleasure
to lurnish you with this certificate, so that you can refer
others, who are afflicted with rheumatism, to me.
1 remain yours truly,

Mm. A. Jobkson -.—Dear Sir: My wife was taken bad
Rheumatism in March last-. She was
very ftVch swollen and the pain she suffered was severe;
she was confined to her bed. I was advised to try your
Rheumatic Compound aad Blood Purifier, so I got a bottle
of it, and before the hall of it was used she was entirely
well. The cure a perfect one; I never saw such medi
cine. She had only taken three doses of it till the swelling
and pain began to abate. All your medicine wants is to
be known in order to give it success.
Yours affectionately, JAMES McALISTER.
My residence is No. 12S Cherry alley, where my wile
can be seen by any person doubting the truth of the above.

Mx. A. 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,

STOMACH
BITTERS.
A pm and powerful Tonic* corrective and alterative, ef

STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS.
Cures Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Headache, General
Debility', Nervousness, Depression of Spirits, Consti*
- i ation, Colic, Intermittent levers, Cftamps and
Spasms, and all Complaint* of either Sex,
arising from Bodily Weakness, whether
inherent to the system or produced
by special causes.
Nothing that is not wholesome, genial and restorative
in its nature enters into tho composition of UOSTKTTSH’ft
STOMACH BITTKIIS. This popular preparation contains
no mineral of any kind; no deadly botanical element; no
fiery excitant; but it is a combination of the extract* of
rare balsamic herbs and plants with the purest and mild*
est'ot all diffusive stimulants.
It is well to bo forearmed against disease, and, so far as
the human system can be ptotected by human means
agaiust maladies engendered by an unwholesome atmo*
sphere, impure water and other external causes,. UOSTJSI
- STOMACH BIXXEUS may bo relied on.ua safe
guard.
In districts infected with Fever and Ague, it has been
ound infallible as a preventive a-.ul irresistible as a reme
dy. and thousands who resort to it under apprehension o!
au attack, scourge; ami thousands who neglect
to avail themselves of Us protective qualities in advance,
are cured by a very brief course of this marvelous medi
cine. Fever and Ague patients, alter being plied with
quinine fur months in vain, until fairly saturated- with
that dangerous alkaloid, are uut uufrequenlly restored to
health within a few days by the use of UOSTETTLB'S
BITTERS.
'ilie weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the appe
tite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence it work*
wonders in cases of BispupsiA and in less confirmed
of iNMGXsriON. Acting us a gentle and painless apperiont, ,
as well as upon the liver, it also invariably reiieves'-thc
Constipation superinduced by irregular action of th<i di
gestive and secretive organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to jVcrvoux Attacks, Loumet
o/Spirits and iVts of Languor, find prompt and perma
nent relief from tho Bitters.' The testimony on this point
is must conclusive, and from both sexes.
The agony of Biluous Colic is immediately assuaged by
a single dose of the stimulant, and by occasionally resett
ing to it, the return of the complaint may be prevented
As a General Tonic, UuSTLXTLK’S BITTBKS produce

No family medicine has been so universally, and, it may
