Teh. 15 Dear Freeman The weather here is as warm aa summer, and the roads are rery muddy. Jf the pleasant but unseasonable weatner continues long look out ibr sickness. The ice crop still looks bad and will not take root fast without frost. We had two white frosts, but white frost dan't make good ice. Richard the Third being now played ont, 1 would advise our Johnstown Dramatic As sociation to start up Richard the Second in opposition Xo the Pittsbnrgh troupe. Young luchard, a boy or eleven years, would make a good charactc-r, and then there would be Watt Tyler, the blacksmith, Jack Straw and Hob Carter, all representative men. Add the Lord Mayor, Wm. Walworth, who killed the stalwart smith, and there would be characters cough. The speech of Poch ard to the one hundred thou and rebels would read somewhat after this fashion : Have faythe inn youre king; -Youre leader "a dead, weltering in his blndd. But I will lead you, as in "uuld lan syne" Youre ancestors were led to nobler deeds Than that of vile rebellion 'gainst your sov'rin King, &c , kc, &ic. Petitions for a Court to be held in Johns town are in circulation ; also petitions for the removal of the county seat to Johnstown. The former may be granted under certain restrictions. There is considerable excitement in town in regard to the borough election. There are three or four candidates out on the Re publican side for Burgess, and of course the Democracy will have one out too. We are very sorry to learn that the print ing ofiioe of the Altoona Vindicator has been buru' d out. Mr. Campbell deserves and will certainly receive the sympathy of the whola community. Ihe Surveyor General was at home on Saturday last, lcoking well. Whatever ob jections may be urged against Gen. Camp bell em political grounds, he is personally a straightforward man, and 1 bvlieve has ad ministered the i fhee e f Surveyor Geueral with economy ar.d prudence. A new literary so iety has sp'UDg up in our midst, and is said to be nourishing. J ho society is soon to be regaled with a reading from Jas. E. Murdoch. They are to have public debate everj week. Two more iJ'catrxal troops are announc ed. They will Tiak" their appearance at aa early day. Thus it wIM be been t nr town is rapiily assumk.g the features of a regu larly built and finished city. D . W. C. Purnham, of tLc New Jerusa lem (SeeeleLborgian) church, has been lec turing hre on his lavorite viaws. Elder Kinter, of the Disciples' church, is a'so lec turing against that doctriue, Oue cf them muit be wrong, while neither may be right. Iu 18i9, beh re the war, butter was sell- 1 ing at ten cents, c-gs at six cents, fresh poik five cents. Hour live dollars, while wages were one dollar per day. Now but ter is selling at fifty cents, eggs at thiity five cents, fresh pork at fifteen cents, flour at ten dollars, muslin aud calico at eighteen cents, coffee at thirty ceuts, etc, etc., while wage are only e.ue dollar aud forty cnts per d iy. We notice this because the New York Tribune is trying to make people be lieve that living is cheaper new than then. We can't see it. If greenbacks were gold the cost of living would be nearly the same, but they ain't. That's what's the matter. Improvements are still going on here, and new houses are springing up like exhal ations from the sea. We want a nail facto ry yet, anil theu a glass factory, and then a cottou factory, aud then .a hardware factory, and we will have them before two year, or at least before the completion of the Johns tow n and Sumerset Railroad. The United Diethren congregation are about finishing the plastering of their neat stone churh. Tue weather has been very favorable for such work. The sessions of the township schools ate beginning to close around town. This win tei's term was ouly fur mouths. Sugar-making season is on u already, and if grouud-hogs know anything will re main here until the Ides of March. The locomotive and tender attached to the mail (rain wot ou Wednesday jumped the tiack near this place, and both were badly demoraLzed. Auother engine bad to be des patched to the rescue from Conemiugh. As my notice of the magic sign of Keller & Taylor, Paiuteis, may have iuduced the belief iu some mind that this firm occupies the entire Post-office building, upon tho top of which the sign is perched, I would mere ly remark that while the sign cccupes one extreme the firm occupies the other. Their paint shop is iu the basement of the build ing, and such of your readers as wish to em ploy competeut painters will do well to seek for them under tlu old Post-office. Tip. Altoona City, Fab. 15. 18C9. Friend Mac On Friday morning last about 1 o'clock several drovers urrived in .tuna from tho event and in rominf into the city they discoverexl a fi.-o just breaking out. Upon arriving at the Logan House thev impaired of Dr. Johnston whether he w as a resident of the place, and upon being answered in the r.Dirraativc they informed him that a fire was iu progress only a short distance away. The Doctor and some other gentlemen immediately ran to the place des ignated, and found the rear end of the Vindi cator building fused as a kitchen irv connec tion with Mr. Kerr's residence) on fire. They gave the alarm immtdia'ely, and ere long the firemen and hundreds of other citizens were upon the ground, but as tho building was a wooden structure it was found impos sible to check the flames. The buildiug, with types, press, and all its other con e-it1-, save a few books, soon fell a victim to the destroying element, while the large store and dwelling of Mr. Berkcowitz adjoiuing, with nearly ail it contained was almost en tirely consumad. The large and handsome residence of 11. A. O. Kerr, Esq., west of the Vindicator office, was vrry badly dam aged if not totally riii:e.l. Tlu fire was another cf tLosc deeds of incendiarism with which our city has been" so terribly afllicted durin" the past few months. Would to God that some of the despicable villains could be caught in their hellish woik. I am not prepared to say what the loss is. or how much of it is covered by insurance. The calamity falls heaviest oa Mr.- Camp bell, of the Vindicator, who ba3 the earnest sympathy of all classes. I could tell you of several kindly acts performed in his behalf by leading Republicans here, all of which will be gratefully remembered by him and his friends for all time to come. Among the number lion. B. F. Rose and Mr. James Currry deserve to be specially mentioned. These and many other gentlemen have act el Dobly in this hour of sorest trial to Mr. Campbell, and their kindness will not be forgotten. On Saturday night the Democracy of the city assembled in Lowther'a Hall for the purpose of adopting meuns for the resusita lion of the Vindicator, which has become a party and local necessity. The meeting waa large and enthusiastic, and measures were taken to- assist Mr. Campbell iu re es tablishing his paper. So you need not be surprised to see the Vindicator e'te long based upon a firmer footing than ever. So mot it be. Our mutual friend Dennis Sullivan, met with a mishap on Wednesday last, near Bennington Station. He had got off the engine upon which he is employed as fire man for the purpose of going forward to flag the passenger train approaching from the west, as there was some danger ahead, and after attending to this duty he thought, as he waa good on a jump, he might as well take a short ride on the rear end of the train. But when he jumped for the car, like Pady's flee it wasn't there, and the re sult was that be sprained one of his ankles very severely, but I am pleased to say not seriously. I hope to chronicle his recoveay in a short time. An old man named Frazer, a painter in the employ of the Company, while at work at the coal yard, on last, fell and broke two of his ribs, be.-ides sustaining other injuries of a painful character. The Democratic Executive Committee of thig city has elected S. M. Woodkok, Esq , one of the best organizers and most efficient democrats in the county, as its Chairman, and has chosen Mr. John Frantz Secretary and Mr, John J. Potter Treasurer. I think the gentlemen of tuc committee have dis played good judgment in the ejection of their officers, and I have no doubt theoiean ization will give a good account of itself iu the coming Gubernatorial campaign. I cannot close without informing your many leaders that Mr. J. D. Hicks has again opened out in bee hive style at Jaggard's old stand, and has ''slathers and gobs" of goods fit to adorn a peasant rr bedeck a priuccss. Mr. Hicks is one of the most gen tlemanly and deserving business men in this city, and with an assortment such as his and the disposition he has for doing the fair thing with all his customers, he cannot fail to prosper. Financially speaking I am real ly glad to see him oc his fjrked end once more, and hope he may long continue in an upright petition. Yours, &c, ' T. I. M. Tub PaoposEn Hemovai. or tub Cousty Seat. Tho w ide awake and ever interesting local correspondent of that able and efficient democratic j mrnal, the Ilarrisburg Patriot, in his ''Notes from the Cipito'." uuder elate of the 13th, thus speaks of the effort being made to secure the passage of an act by the Legislature liekiug to the removal of the seat of justice) from this place to Johnstown: "Tho county seat of Cambria, as everybody knows or ought to know, is situ ited iu Lb ensburg. Sjtne cf the Johnstown people, becoming a'armetl at fie rapid growth of Ebensburg, are petitioning the legislature to remove the county seat to their town. Mr. Porte r, th s able young member from that district, is coostantly receiving petitions in iror oi it aud remonstrances against it. The rmoi-strancts art in a large rnnj irity. and I douv,t very much whether the Legis lature will meddle in the nutter. It should net, as Ebensburg is in the centre of the county, aud Johnstown near its southern boundary. Cambria county waa erected by an act of assembly in A. I). 1801, w ith its present boundaries; the sail act of assem bly provided that "the place for h d'iing thee nuts of justice for said county shall be fixed by the legislature at any place not a greater distance than seveu miles frora the centre of said county." which resultad iu its locatiou at Ebensburg. The point thus fixed has been the seat of justice for fnorc than sixty years ; that it is the exact geo graphical centre, being eqtii-distant from the northern aud eastern aud western boun dary ; that the public buildings the court house, jail, poor house academy have all been 1 cated here, and that public roads extend from this point to every portion of the county, including a branch railway, which biings Johnstown within two hours travel by a railway of Ebensburg. while its distance is not eivrr twenty five miles to the most, extreme portion of the county. Johns town, on ti e othar hand, is located within two miles of the southern bound iry of Cam bria county, and aim. st fifty miles from its northern boundary. The H n. Robert L Johnson, Hon. A. A. Birker, Philip Collins, Esq., J. T. Hutchinson, Esq , and nearly all the prominent men of both parties are unfavorable to the removal. The reasons stated in their memorial are amply sufti cient to prevent the legislature from taking auy action in the matter." CALiFoasiA Seed Wheat We have receive;d by mail, direct from Messrs. H. W. Dappleye & Cj., San Francisco, California, two small sacks of While Austrailian and Cftefi t'tieo Wheat, which couiain by all odds the largest aud finest samples of wheat we have ever saw. It is claimed that this grain will yield sixty bushels to the acre and sixty five pounds to the bushel, ami that the ears will grow from eleven to twelve inches in length. We have placed the samples on exhibition at the Post Office, and invite our farmer friends and others interested in whect culture to call there and examine the grain for themselves. We shall give place to the advertisement of the above named firm in our next issue, -and believe that our agricultural friends wvjl do well to peruse it apd theu order sufficient sei to try the ex periment of its culture in this locality. Fair Goons and Fair Prices. Mr. Quo. Uuntloy has within the past few days, sold quite a number of beautiful articles of silver ware to ladies in our town, who design con tributing them to the Catholic Fair, which will be opened on the 1st inst. Xuthing more appropriate for such a purpose could be selected thai can be found at Mr. Hunt ley's establUbmeut, and we advise an early visit thereto. Mr. Huntley is a fair dealer, keeps a fair stock, sells at fair prices, and shouhi Teceive the patronage of all fair minded people. Auvancisg. There is no doubt that cot ton goods of all kinds are advanciDgjn prices, and when the spring trade opens consumers will be surprise 1 at the difference in this respect. Now is the time to buy at the lowest figures, and U. A. Shoemaker Ss Co.'s store is the place at which the lowest figures prevail to the greatest extent. In fact, they have low prices on the brain and excellent gooda of all kinds on their shelves. Ees dna og. Mombsti'M. Momentum ami velocity are very different things.

A dressing "which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving tho hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to il$ original color with ihe glosi and freshness of yoidh. Thin hair 5 thirk. ened, falling hair checked, and bald ness often, though cot always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the" glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for nsefulncse by thia application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long ou the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
