Tm : Masonic Fkstivai..— The
,i u . Mvstic' Tie," of MountaiaLodg a few
, lhe ir brethren from contiguous Lodges, accom
" „ied bv their wives, daughters and lady friends,
celebrated Sh John’s Day (Dec. 27th) by parta
of a grand repast served up, at the Logan
House at 4 o’clock P. M„ after which they retired
ll]e j r Hall and spent the evening most agreeably.,
lU (If the Supper we scarce know how to speak, Tt
o grand The “ bill of fare’’ enumerated
everything we ever heard of, and many
we never beard of. There was mock turtle
‘d boiled rock fish, turkey with oysters, turkey
wllh cranberries, roast duck and duck braised with;
o..ions, goose, prairie grouse, venison, quail and
partridge, mutton, beef, beef tongue and ham ;
Zl there was, potatoes-sweet and Insh-baked
M d roast, hominy, beans and turnips; and then
followed —well, there was such a list of pies and
uuffs, and jellies and jams, and cukes and creams,
tt „d nuts and fruits, and pretty and good things
ceue rally, that we cannot enumerate them. Iho
mble literally groaned beneath its load. Thq
M >rs Miller never do thiags'by halves, and tkeir
please on this occasion were successful
and duly appreciated
On retiring to the Hall, after the repast, the en
ure patty seemed disposed to make the evening
c „e of pleasure to all. With music, song, blind
man s buff, charades, etc., the moments sped by
as on eagles wings-. Old and young alike joined
in the merry making. Old age forgot its gray
hairs and rheumatic limbs and spoke and acted
Ihe youth of sixteen, while those who played the
nan of spectators, with noth hands pressed their
acheing sides which laughter'eansed. It was a
grand old time, long to be remembered, and the
return of the day which shall convene a similar
party is anxiously awaited.
Iq)-We copy the following item from "The
Ihwlnn,’'a paper published in the camp* of the
llfih l'n. Cavalry,.at Harpers Ferry, Va., remark
ill(! only that we think there is a mistake as-to
the time Sergt. Stiffler was wounded at McCon-'
nellshnrg. It should be June instead of July,
as we know there was a skirmish with the
Rebels at that place, previous to the battle of Get
tysburg, but not afterwards, if we remtmber
ngl i It. Some of our citizens wete near at hand, at
that time :
Scrgt. William J. Stiffler, Co. G. 12th Pa.
Cavalry, Blair county, Penn'a captured near
Hunker Hill, Va., Jan. 1, 18G4, died in the Rebel
Prison at Andersonville, Ga.. May 8, .1864. —
News uf the same was communicated to the com
pany commander on the 26th inst.; through the
kindness of ft Ist Scrgt. oth lowa Cav.
Scrgt. Stiffler was one of the first to‘answer to
the call of the President for men to suppress the
rebellion.' He was a member of Co. H, 16th Pa.
Infantry, three months service. He again entered
the service on the 7th Dec. 18(11, by joining the
lath Pa. Cav. He served faithfully and bravely
with his company until July 24, lf>6B, when in a
skirmish at McConnellsburg Pa., lie was wounded
in the left shoulder, three months elapsed ere he
was again fit for duty, at which time he again
joined his Regiment, and remained with it until
Jan. 1. 1864, when in a hand to hand encounter
with th'e enemy near Bunlter Hill, Va., he was
overpowered, wounded and captured. Suffering
for four months and eight days under the cruel
anil haroarous treatment of Southern chivalry,
death alone released him from his misery. In
him the country has lost as brave a soldier as ever
met the enemy on the field of battle. He was
beloved by all who knew him. His bereaved pa
rents and'friends have our deepest sympathies. —
lie has gone from among tls. Peace he to his
A Qceeb Case.—The substance of the sub- !
joined item came to our ears some weeks since, j
and has been noticed in a few of our exchanges, |
but being unable to obtain satisfaction as to the |
reality of the case, we refrained from publishing j
anything in relation to it. Uaving recently, how- j
ever, received a history of the case, witli the names j
ortho parties, from a reliable source, we give it a
place. It appears that with one of the companies
organized in this place, (for the nine months ser
vice, i in the summer of 18(3—, went a man who
left a wife and small family. On the bloody held
of Amietatn he fell, was buried, and ids wife af
terward* had his body disinterred, brought home,
and re-interred in the soldiers’lot in the Cemetery.
A year afterwards she married again, and in due
time a child was born, the fruit of the second mar
riage. When the call for 500,000 troops was"ba—
ing filled up. last fall, the second husband enlisted
and is now in the army. A short time since, the
first husband returned, alive and well, having been
taken prisoner at Antietam instead of being killed,
lie had been held by the Rebels until the late ex
change at Savannah. Of course the parties are
in a queer fix: but all will agree that the soldier
, who was once killed; twice hurried, starved two.
I ycai> in Rebel prisons; and yet came home alive,
is certainly‘entitled to his wife. “ Truth is stran
! gcr than fiction.' 1 The query is, “ who was hur
j tied in the Cemetery ?"
lin t> -most ius Injuries. —We copy the fol- j
biwmg from the Pittsburgh Commercial of Friday i
lasi: —David Djtsch, who was employed at the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad, was
severely injured on Thursday of last week, by be
ing caught between two cars which he. was engag
ed in coupling. He lingered until yesterday when
death put an end to his sufferings.! The deceased
was about twenty years of age, and was fo.merly
a resident of Altoona, where his parents still re
side. Coroner Clawson held an inquest 6n the
body, when the jury entirely Exonerated the com
pany and the employees from blame, and rendered
a verdict of “accidental death.” i
Look out fob Particulars. —John H. Fritch
cy. requests as to give notice to all those who are
indebted to him, and have retused or failed to call
and settle their accounts, that in two weeks from
this time he will publish their names together with
the amounts due, as a warning to all Other mer
chants; and. to the public in general, that those
who are persistently dishonest may be known here
aher. A; few such examples of dishonest persons
would undoubtedly be beneficial, in this place.
Wolv & Paterson.—We hajd occasion, a day
or two since, todrop into the Store of the above
named firm, and found it well filled with every
thing m the grocery and provision line, and the
proprietors ngreeable and accommodating. We
can recommend the house to thope in need oT gro
ceries, as we believe they sell at prices as reason
able as the i; irkets will admit, i ’ ■
For the AttoafUi Tribune.
Extravagancevs. 'BefteVolonoe.
Mkssrs. Emxoits:—You are, no doubt, aware
of ilie very commendable fact tiutt we have in our
midst a: Benevolent Society, organized for the re- i
lief of any poor persons dr families among us, who
may be; suffering for the necessaries of life, and
who aie unable to provide fer themselves during
the inclemency pf the winter season. The major
ity of our citizens, perhaps, “have contributed— j
liberally, 1 hope—to the Society, for the accom
plishment of. this great end. Many of us who
have thus contributed are not in J affluent circum
stances, but are obliged to live; economically, in ;
order to “make both ends meet,’’ For instance, j
when She clothes have advanccd in price beyond \
our reach, we must be content with a coarser and ;
more durable article—though not so nice ; when |
coffee is selling at 60@t>0 pound, we are I
obliged to regale ourselves with rye, orsome other
cheap substitute; when butter is 50 cti. a pound,
we have to spread our bread with something else ;
and if any-of our more wealthy* neighbors, in a
friendly mood, see fit to present us with a mess of
“worst” or “pon boss,” wo take it and say
“Thank you,” without growling and complaining
that the gift was not a hank of sausage or a round
steak! What shall we say, then, or what shall!
we think, when informed by the Belief Committee, j
that some of the would-be aristocratic poor make j
demand# —yes, demands—for -'good eoftee, and
none :df your browned rye or cheap truck ?” What
shall we say when we know that some of them
complain and find fault because they are not fur
nished with money , (instead,of Clothing and pro
visions,) that they might hay gaiters instead of
“stogies”—delaines or coburg instead of calico—
or sweetmeats and luxuries instead of snhstantials?
These herring aristocrats should remember that
there nire many objects of charity in our midst, and
that our excellent Relief Committee desire to hus
band their funds, in order that they may go as far
ns possible towards accomplishing the object of
■ their organization. .A few of these very particular
people jure quite able to do something towards sup
porting themselves, too, but having got into their
heads . the idea that “the world owes them a liv
ing,” they very complacently sit 1 down and wait
for the aforesaid “heavy” debtor to provide for
them fine raiment and sumptuous living every
day! : ,
All contributions to the Society, I
trust are made froelJs but allow me to a*k_these
particular folks—Who wants to contribute towards
buying Jtnery and luxuries for others, when he
can’t afford them*for himself?; We arc willing to
give yon the necessaries of life : take them and be
thankful; stop your growling, >ind he satisfied.
Now, if these few hints are properly acted upon
by those for whom they arc intended, they will
hear no more from
Yours truly,
Soldiers pN hie One evening
last week, while a train filled with soldtets was
standing at the depots a few oftheni indulged rath
er beelv m “ tangle-leg.” and; finally kicked up a
row at Adam Beanj.’s drinking Saloon, on Main
street, and wound up by battering in the windows
and making things rip miscellaneously. One big
follow undertook, to thwah all creation, and knock
ed down every one, soldier and' citjizen, who came
within his reach. He was finally secured by a
guard sent after the raiders.
Resignation and Appointment. —J. G. Ad

fill the vacancy. Mr. Shoemaker is perfectly
acquainted with the duties of j. the office, having
filled it previous to the appointment of Mr. Adlum.
