Ti e donors have not only secured a present
worthy of themselves and the gentleman for
whom it is intended, but they did well in

Richard the Third being now played ont,

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,

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

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

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

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.

Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair lo
its natural Vitality and Color.
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.
