A gay and festive yotirg chap n.arr.eil Mc Oowan. who resides in Cambria borough, went to Pittsburgh recently, and about the time he thought of returning, carue to the conclusion that he needed a watch and suit f ciu:'i--; ; and being of a ccvetous dispo sition, he found that a le'il-nr bo'rdor had the very cr:'.cles ho wanted. The vr.atch and clothes were appropriated, and McG. came on his way rejoicing, but a Nemesis in the shape of a de;ective c-fnoer was poor- on Ids track, and nabbed him ;n IMday even ing ia a scloon ia Cambria borough. The agaiieved indviidual, whose time and dry goods were so surreptitiously spirited away, was on hands to prove prop'erty, and had no difficulty whatever in recognizing his vest and pants, in which his late fellow lodger was at the time "sporting." The bracelets were attached to McO.'s wrists, and he was taken to Pittsburgh booked, no doubt for a passage across the river. The ho.jsc of Mr. C.

I.nr 'ar:.v:o individual, and three pocket-books fibstract e l from the pockt-ts respectively of Mr. aud Mrs. C. and a servant girl in their employ. The thief doubtless thought he was making quite a haul, but the contents of the coin? bmed pocket-books enly amounted to five dollars and eighty cent. The house of Mr. Unvuzagt was also en tered a few nights since, but it is supposed the burglars were frightened off, as nothing had been taken. The young man whom I noticed last week as having been indulging in .a little rencon tre with his father, and injuring him to such an extent as to induce the old man to have him b-nmd over foi assault and battery, Las been effecting .a chai ga cf ba.e. and has succeeded in getting up a little by-play which gives a rather livelier aspect to the position of affairs. He h returned no les than seven sliebetn shops for selling on Sun day, A-e., and among the number is the "tavern" of his owu pa'.er familias.

"Altoona city!" yelled two brakeruen and three water car riers at the other end. We seized our bag gage end jumped from the car. We noticed that all the other passengers did likewise. Everybody stopped at Altoona. What a tnais of people were about the station house and platfot m ! What miles of Railroad cars were strung out in all directions ! We be came bewildered. Wondered if there could be two Chicagoes, and if we had got into the wrong car and been, landed at ono of them. But uo 1 the conductor shouted Altoona city. There was no mistake, so we soon found our way home and itted until the following morning. In the morning we procured the services of a friend, and went forth to take a luok at the city. There were omnibuses and drays, and milk wagons in the streets everywhere. We passed by whole blocks of four story salesrooms and warehoufles, but saw no persou that we knew. We met six policemen with stars on their coats and ngly looking sticks in their hauds. We also met a colored beiy with a bell in his baud, crying out. "Lost Child!" "Lost Child 1" were stopped thirteen times by ns many Jew dealers in ready-made clothing, and invited to "step in and buy something." We saw two fights and heard fourteen organ grinders. Also, saw several strangely dressed people on the side walks, and asked our friend why they dreBsed s queerly. He told us that they were Chinese, Japanese and Hottentots, who resided in the city. Heard our friend iy, good rnetrning Andy" to a gentleman who waJ riding by In an open carriage. Asked what "Andy" and were informed that it km th Ex-Govemor of the State that the Executive Mansion was on Thir teenth strett. Get tired of the ncioa and confusion, and requested our friend to stop somewhere for the night. The next morn ing we mad a some further inquiries about the city of Altoona. Found that the Sreat Central Railroad from sunrisy to sunset passe through the centre of the city, and that all either Railroads and Plank roads centre at this point. Altoona city ja the Railroad centre cf 'he whole country. Nearly all the plank nada and tone r uds in the Union terminate here, including one fron Wrpsanonick. Wa have been ififorcned that very important change Lave tak.n pNco (politically) during our absence. The Cii".tu! of the State has been moved to Altoona. and the name of the State itself has been changed to AHaonm. All the neighboring towns around about, have been annexed to Ait-na city Hoi lidayshurg forms the 9th Ward, aad Tyrone the 2 1st. Mudcown hna bom fenced in and has become another BmlJik. The total population o? Altoona city is alut 600,000, more cr (a good cieal) less. There are 109 newspapers published in Altoona city 110 of them are daily. Of the former cumber is the Tribune. It ia ably edited and lias a large subscrip tion list. There is a paper published in the 9th Ward that's very singular one-half is printed in the South African language aud the other half in the Caffraira. It circu lates extensively among the colored petyAe. There are 149 Ore engines in Altoona city, besides a larg tiumber of hexk and ladder companies. The City has 4CQ Street Com missioners and 5 Scavengers. Each of the former is required to station himself at a tr9t corner and keep strict watch ever tliat portion of tbc street that extends to the next corner. D gs and hoes are not trowed to run at large, but ars kept in cellars under the Chinese hote'j. Desirable building lots Lve become very scarce, owing to tbe rapid growth of the city. Within the past few ycara we Lad thought of purchasing, but now fear we shall not be aula to get nearer the heart of th city than the 9th Ward.

Home, Feb. 12, 1863. Mb. Johnstok Dear Sir: In your last paper I notice a statement purporting to be an inventory of articles remaining at the Poor House after I left it. As this state ment is false throughout, and sure to be con strued, as it is intended, to my injury, I feel bound, reluctantly, to notice it. 1 will brief ly enumerate a few articles cf such a char acter that all persons will see that they were wilfully omitted, which were there when these men made out that list and are there now : At the bara a cart, set hay ladders, log sled, chain and spreaders, sleigh bells, wagon whip, rakes, forks, etc. At the hou.-e a small amount of meat, (more than three tons.) a large lot of potatoes in the field, in pits, 1 1 coal stoves, in use, 2 wood Ftoves, 8 wooden bedsteads, with good bedding, (does Thomas, who ran this job, know any thing of this?) 8 good tables and 1 old one. a bureau, (Mrs. Wesner's, insane.) a cVurn, a cross cut saw, a spinuing wheel and reel, and let c f rolls, sausage cutter and i-tuffcr, apple parer, 2 coffee mills iustead of one, carving knife and fork, iron vise, wood screw, sugar kettle, five gallon brass kefle, chest in office, 3 axes, 1 hatchet, (2 buflalo robes on the list no such things were there.) kitchen stove furnished with everything, 6 tin buckets, 3 wash bowls, 5 dish pans, 3 coffee pots, 1 coffee pitcher, 2 large tin wait ers. 2 stone cream crocks, lj dozen stone milk crocks, iron bread pans to bake twenty-three loaves, 1 large and 1 dozen email cake pans, pudding pan, coHanac,-, 2 graters, 2 cake cutters. 1 gallon and 1 quart meas ures, 2j dozen fruit cans, dippers, lifters, 1 dozen candlesticks, egg beater, an unbroken tea set, 2 sets cantlle-moulds, flour sifter, large steelyards, counter scales, clothes bas ket, 200 feet galvanized wire for clothes-lim, 30 lbs. white sugar, 1 caddy tea, nearly full) a lot cf glassware, a lot of shirts and blouses in office chest, (every inmate had a change of clothisg.) 3 1 irou beds, with beddirg. r.nd table ware sufficient for allnhe inmates. In fact, everything was there when we left ne cessary to conduct the hous3 as we under stood K Farther, 600 bushels of oats were put in the granary on the first of November, and the stock has been fed since. There was certainy twice as much corn as iR put down. If this thing was necessary, it should have been elone right, should have been done at once, and I s-h-uIJ have had notice. If there is any dispute about my atr.temeut, I w ill show the .articles named to any resjject alle person wislung to se them., I will only say to Mr. Myers: Tou have lent yourself to this scheme of defamation ; now take year choice of these positions cither these articles were at the house on Jan. Tth or they were net. If they were there why did you omit them 7 if they were not there how came they there since ? You will explain this. I hope. To the Di rectors: If you thought it right to buy all McDerraitt's property, jou should have the manhood to father the act instead of trying to create the impression that a necessity ex isted for so doing, which was not the case and this, too, at the expense of the absent, and, as you thought, the defenceless. With respect to this arrangement I will only say that no such thing was ever done in the State before. To you, Mr. Johnston : I ap peal to your love of fair play to publish this paper, promising that it will be the last time I will trouble you, and trusting that you will not allow your paper to be made the instrument for the destruction of any man's reputation without giving him a chance to defend bimsplf.
