Again we are compelled to call upon those
who are indebted to u- for Subscriptions. Ad
vertising and Job Y\ ork to come forward and
give us a helping hand by paying up the littie
sums which they owe us- Y\ e need money
worse now than we have at any time since
we have been in business. S herevtr we
owe a debt, largy or small, w*e are potiSsu to
pay without grace and we desire to do so. but
without money we cannot do it. 1 here ia
certainiv money in the country. Our .armors
have received such prices tor their produce
luring the last live years that they must have
realized fortunes. They have had very heavy
crops and had to buy comparatively tittle.
We pray thev may have at least laid cao .gh
by to pay the printer. Ia addi" on to the ii'.lle
debts that we desire to pay. we intend to
make some material improvements. We
have purchased the office occupied by t> a
few weeks ago. aud J. A . Hinge it felter, ad
fining the Menge! House and intend erecting
a three story brick building during the sum
mer for our Printing office, Job office, Book
Store, Law Office, and an other improvement.
And. further: if our friends stand by us, as
we think they should, we will increase the
size of the ISQUSER during the year. Its
columns -have been very much crowded with
advertisements tor the last six months aad
vet we have rejected hundreds ol dollars o,
foreign advertising. AH this wi.l require
mooev and all we ask i that our patrons pay
up promptly and the improvements' which we
ua,c iiidivaieu snatl be made. Send us every
dollar you owe us on Court week and you wilj
do as a very great favor. Those who do not
owe us, and there are many of oar readers
who do not, will excuse us for boring them
with this ariicle. We think that they will)
however, be so pleased to hear that we are
goingto make further improvements that they
will thank us for it and urge delinquents to
pay up. The LfQi'ißt* has been very well
-ustained by its friends in the county, in fact
their are very few county papers in the State
that are as well sustained, and we desire to
put every dollar into it that we muke out of
it to enable those who sustain it to receive
the full advantage of the money which they
invest in it from time to time. tc
W HAY WE WAST. —it is our desire to make
the Is qui RUE a correct record of all events of
general interest transpiring in the world; but
more especially do we wish it to contain in
formation of all the occurrences of interest
happening in this vicinity and throughout the.
■ inly. ["nfortutiittely we are not übiquitous
and are often net apprised of events which
would be of great interest to the p-nbiic, until
itig after their occurrence, or perhaps not at
all, and it may be that censure is often ex
pressed that incidents are not noticed, when •
is no fault of ours. In order to make a j
paper complete in its department of local j
ews, it is absolutely essential that its pa- j
: "oiis and readers should seud the editors an •;
- ouni of all occurrences of interest which I
f .me under their notice. We hope that our I
•fiends will bear this iu mind, aud seud us i

Os THE ICE. —•' Alum Bark," or as we
think it should more properly be called.
"Eiin Park, 1 ' was crowded on
afternoon last —crowded with skaters, male
and female, skimming over the smooth sur
face, singly and in pairs. There might have
been seen the adept of several winters, and
the novice tumbling awkwardly over his or
her new skates. There were the young and
the old, i,the latter no doubt imagining them
selves young:) the rich and the poor, the
y uug lady and the little girl, the old boy
aidtbe little boy in round-about, all rning
! liug together promiscuously, and tumbling
around in like manner. The ice was very
good, the air just cool enough, and the beau
ty and grace there displayed tended to make
the scene one of perfect grandeur. With
note book snugly tucked iu pocket, and in
company with a friend who, by tbe way.
thinks himself "'some on skates," we wended
our way to the "park," and whilst our friend
; proceeded to enjoy himself, we took au eleva
ted position on a log, and prepared to note
the various phases and positions taken by
the skaters. We had written du*n a glowing,
and we are sorry to say, a slightly liciitioua
account of lhe costumes and general appear
ance of the different groups, aud thought of
leaving the fairy scene, but felt that we could
not until we had tried this "healthful amuse
ment." notwithstanding we entertained a no
tiou that we should afford "laughable amuse
ment" for the crowd assembled. With a
determination not to lie out-done in venture
some valor if we were in the art iueli, we
borrowed a pair of skates aud prepared for
the attempt. As a whole, we stood* tbe pre
liminary or "tying-on" process pretty well,
but our corns did not. The friend who kind
ly volunteered to tighten our ''toe-straps
was certainly teuder-hearted, but we ere sure
he had ntf corns, or idea of the mortal agony
we endured from his being over anxious that
our skates should fit close. We imagine we
feel their gentle pressure yet. and cannot ex
actly say when we shall get rid of the pain
thus indicted.
However, alter au effort, tve gamed our
feet, and slid away with something of tbe
grace of a spring toad on a harrow, and roin
gied with the crowd, "bobbing around like
a half sled in new ground. In course ol
time we begau to feel as though we were im
proving. and were congratulating ourselves
accordingly, when the wind was completely
taken from out our sails, by the approach of
one of •• Eve's lair daughters," who accosted
us with: "Do you skate. Mr. Local'.' ' We
turned and gazed at the speaker in rapturous
admirutiou. Jibe was charmingly dressed in
"Pitt street store clothed," red mitteus wero
upon her dainty hands, and a red "we-forget
what-you-eall-it" covered the crown of her
bead, whilst from beneath the scarlet skirt
peered in matchless beauty, a pair of faultless
leet encased in ten dollar skates. How n
few words from a woman will take the phi
losophy out of a fellow. She waltzed and
skimmed over the ice in all becoming grace,
and in the goodness of her heart volunteered
to teach ug, and showed us how easy it was
done. Aud here our trouble began. We
forgot our acheing corns, and awkward move
menu. being possessed of but one idea —that
of learning to cut the various "curley-cuds'
she and others so fastidiously and fearlessly
indulged in. Several couple gathering around
it was prop-oaed that alt go np stream in a
string. We joined, and found ourselves
nlrung along the shore fcr seveiai feet or
more, whilst the rest went "whiriit g on
with no part of us but our hat and one glove.
Determined uot to give it up so. we gathered
ourselves -up and selected the end of the
"string" next time. The whole line moved,
and we held our position firmly, until, iu the
innocence of our nature, we extended our
] hand to a young lady from the "Western
j End." whom- we thought, desired our assist
\ aace. Unhappily for us, she was only i:: fun,
i and in an effort to be polite, t lost our
i equilibrium,—aud the result was tu us a dis
] astrou- fail. The faint idea of a sudden clap
of thunder, a railroad collision, a torpedo
explosion, a fight with the Fenians cubing up
by our s>eiog scalped by the Indians, floated
through our braiu for u tu.uute or two, and
was succeeded by a brass band iu each ear,
whilst a troup of "Eastern End" boys held
riotous carnival iu the apex of our cranium.
We saw stars innumerable, whilst an imprea
■imm tf ot vtc ice resembling a Connecticut
butter-bowi, forcibly reminded us of the
weakness of fle*h to contend with mightier
thing-:. We arose: faintly opened our eyes,
and with feeliDgs unutterable, observed the
caase of our anguish pierouettiwj away with
tbe utmost indifference, whilst a young adept,
;the scamp bang to her both hands and
"grinned" out his seeming sympathy between
her smiles. We bathed oqr aching bead with
snow, meandered carefully to the Bhore, took
off our skates, acd soliloquised as follow s:
1. Base-bali is no where in point of exer
cise to skating :
2. Both are fallacious in point of enjoy
ment ;
S. Neither can be considered " child's
play:"
4. Common-sense exercise i- immeasura
bly superior to both:
5. Evil will be his fate who trosteth to fe
males on ice ; bumps and bruises will be his
reward : and his end will be bitter and bard
to bear.
If he should not be able to stand erect
at ail times, and especially upon the first ef
fort, be might gain for himself the unenvia
ble reputation of being drunk.
Lastly. He who plaeeth his faith in ice, or
upon skates, or females, on either fouud,doeth
j that which will eventually cause bim grea 1
' sorrow- of mind and soreness of system.
! Selah .'
ln the neighborhood of „ce hnpdred and
seventy five persons were upon the ice at one
I time, between the hours of three and six
j o'clock ou ."Saturday afternoon. As regards
' the several degrees of proficiency arrived at
■<y our females, we would say that we have
vi-ited parks in our leading cities, and have
diligently taken observation*, and must say
that we have never been able to dis!mg-jih
j one from otit a hundred who could eijual at
least four of cur female friends in the art.
The Western portion of the town can, we
think, claim the honor of having the best fe- 1
male skater, whilst Juiiantia street can claim i
the male. East End has some very good of!
both sexes, but canuot compete with ottr -ec- j
iron.
llok.-E THIEVES. —Blair County is some- i
what troubled with horse-tbeives. according j I
to tbe lltgijtUr. Two of these rope-deser- !
ving scoundrels were "flanked" anil compel- 1 t
led to beat a hasty "retreat" whilst ic the i
act of making off with two horses from the 1 <
stable of a gentleuieu ia that section one night i
last week. Look out fur them, farmer*! • I
A DtHTi'ttßAXi K. —During the progress of :
Prof. Whitney's performances on Monday '
night, a party of drunken rowdies created a ;
distorbance, and for a few moments a row !
seemed imminent. After a few moments
coufusioo and a little coaxing quiet was re- j
stored and the exercises were proceeded ;
with.
In regard to this matter, we have a word t
g.vy. and shall do v, without "fear or favor."
Why is it that the laws,provided to cover such j
a case as that presented on Monday nig't, arc
not enforced .' We have both State anu DIU
nicipal laws sufficient for ibe protection of tbe
weak and unprotected, and yet iu tbe face of
legislation and local ordinances, public meet
ings are disturbed, ladies are insulted by pro
fane and obscene epithets made use of in
their hearing, decent folks are rudely jostled
on the streets, and the nights rcmii : ,1 hide
ous by the howls cf these bacchauaftaus,
(some of whom lav claim to respectability,) i
and all thin unda the immediate notice, —age,
under the very roof of the officers swonx to
keep the peace and enforce the lav. Is this
as it should be'.' Art- the law abiding citizens
to eudure this ? is their money to be spent
iu keeping up officials who thus flagrantly
neglect their duty ? Honest men! look at ;
this matter, and as the time for selecting of
ficers is fast approaching, let there be put in
position some such man. I without regard to j
party if needs be. V who will fear to per
jure himself, and not lack courage to per- j
furm his SKorn duty.

"THE BLL E COATS, and hoic they Liced,
Fought and Died for the Union: viCh Scenes
and Incidents in the Great Rebellion." is the
title of a handsome volume, just issued by
Jones Brothers A Co., Philadelphia, Pa.
There is a certain portion of the War that
wi ! never go into the regular histories, nor !
be embodied in romance or poetry, which is ;
a very real part of it, and will, if preserved,
c.nvev to succeeding generations a better
•dec. of the spirit of the conflict than many
dry reports or careful narratives of events,
and this part may be called the gossip, tbe
fun, the pathos of the War. This illnstrates
the character of the leaders, the humor of
the soldiers, the devotion of women, tbe
bravery of men, the pluck of our heroes, the
romance aud hardships of the service. F rora
tbe beginning of the war, theauthor has been
engaged in collecting all the anecdotes con
nected with or illustrative of it. and has
grouped and classified them under appropriate
head*, and in a very attractive form.

Out SCHOOLS. —There are in attendance in \
the various schools of the borough, by rough
ei'imae, abootfour hundred and twenty-five
pupils. The population of the district, as
it now stands, is something less than one
thousand six hundred, which makes an atten
dance of more than owe fourth of the popula
tion, t not counting the colored portion, i upon
school. This we argue is pretty good, con
sidering that the district embraces considera
ble territory outside the borough, which
makes the attendance from that portion only
equal to that of any couutry district.
THE Pennsylvania Teacher says: ••THE
LITTLE UORPORAI is the most entertaining 1
publication for the young that we have ever ;

thing better."

As IMPOSTI-B. Several of our exciiaugee j
j speak of a female, passing under the name of j
Russell, as travelling around the country pre- j
■ tending to have relations residing in different
localities whom she is desirousot visiting, j
but, as it invariably turn out, no such per j
i sons are to be found. She is addicted to |

LOCAL PAPERS. —The*; are many persons J
who either tuke no paper at all, or else take !
