The board has com pleted the stocking of the north branch of me ouaqucuAima ana tlie Ihigh with black bass, one thousand of these fish being placed iu the two streams. Another one hundred have been put in the dam at Wil hamsport. In the course of September all the waters in the State available for the purpose will be stocked with bass. During July two million seven hundred and fifty thousand shad were hatched in the Sus quehanna at Newport. The Sacramento salmon and trout, which were put in a year ago, have thrived wonderfully, and the board has decided to hatch a large quantity of them as soon as the State hatching-house is completed. Mr. Valentine Luttringer, of this place, and Mr. Denny, of Altoona, met with an accident at Cresson on Saturday eveniug last, which might have resulted very seriously, if not fatallv. to one or both of them. While walking on the pike a few nnls ea-st of the culvert or bridge over which the Pennsylvania railroad is t.'iiirucicci at mat place, a young man riding on horseback came along in the rear at quite a rapid pace, the horse run ning against them and knocking both of thorn down. A train was passing over the railroad at. the time, and owing to the noise it occasioned the above -named gen tlemen failed to hear the approaching ani mal and its careless rider until they re ceived the shock. Mr. Denny received quite painful injuries on his right arm and side, but Mr. Luttringer escaped with a few slight scratches. The Johnstown Tribune of last Mon day says: "A very precocious youth of fifteen years tried to commit 6uicide at the house of his parents, in Conemangh Bor ough, on Saturday evening last. His sup per was not prepared for him immediately upon bis arrival, and, instead of jawing the 'old woman,' he merely went tip stairs and tried to choke himself to death with a woolen comforter. Not being able to suc ceed in this laudable undertaking, he then procured a bed-cord, and making a noose he adjusted it around his neck, and tried to suspend himself from the bed-post. He might possibly have been able to put a pe riod to his existence this time, but bis mothor went up stairs to inform the young man that supper was ready and discovered him just in time to prevent the accomplish ment of his rash purpose. A good strong diet of hickory rod is all that this progres sive youth need. to cure him for his desire for a violent death. Meeting of the Centennial Execu tive Committee. The Centennial Ex ecutive Committee of the State of Penn sylvania held their first meeting at the Logan House, in Altoona, oh Tuesday afternoon of this week. Among the mem bers in attendance were ex-Governor Pol hck. ex-Governor Bigler, Hon. John Scott, Hon. L. A. Mackey and other distinguish ed gentlemen, all of whom exhibited a warm feeling of interest in the success of the great Centennial Celebration which is to be held in Fairmount Park, Philadel phia, in the year 187(1. At their meeting on Tuesday the Ex ecutive Committee passed , a number of resolutions urging upon the people of the State, outside the city of Philadelphia, to appropriate a half million dollars to the Centennial project, deeming that sum to be a moderate one for the purpose, and trusting that it would be promptly securod. A number of district committees and sub committees were apjointed for the pur pose of apportioning to the several towns, districts and wards the proper share of the whole amount assessed upon the several counties on the basis of $500,000 for the State. The stock is teu dollars per share, 20 per cent, of which is payable on sub scription, or in a brief period thereafter, ar.d the balance upon three months notice in the years 1874 and '75. For the pur pose of equalizing the position of subscrib ers to the stock, six per cent, interest will be allowed on all amounts paid in till the first of May, 1870. We trust that the people of Cambria county will not fall a whit behind those of their sister counties in promptly subscrib ing for their apportioned amount of Cen tennial stock. The celebratian should be made a grand success, and from recent de velopments we feel assured that the man agement intend making it just what it should be. Among the members of the District Committee we notice the name of Mr. Geo. V. Bates, of Johnstown, for the Eighteenth District. A Kind Act Kindly Acknowledged. The following correspondence, which has been handed us for publication, is sufficiently explicit to need no comment other than that which will readily suggest itself to the reader's mind, but we cannot refrain from saying that the act which has called 'forth this correspondence ; is well worthy of commendation, and that the money thus contributed has, in the lan guage of "late lamented"' Oakes Ames, been placed where it will do the most good:" Belmont, Aug. 21, 1872. Mr. Edik Please accept, from some of the guests at Belmont and Mr. Lloyd's the sum of forty dollars, contributed to aid in procuring sufficient light for the evening services in your church. Hoping you may be successful in getting it soon accomplished, and may enjoy the change so much needed, I remain, truly, Mrs. li. A. McCot. Ebensburg, Aug. 25, 1873. Mrs. R. A. McCoy: I was directed by a unanimous vote, at our evening meeting on last Thursday, to return to yon, and through you to the ot her contributors, our very sin cere thanks for the handsome contribution of "forty dollars to aid . in securing suffi cient light for the evening services" in our "church." The Trustees have the matter under consideration, and we hope to have the improvement made in a few days, so that the donors may see and "enjoy the change so much needed." With many thanks to all the contributors, I remain very truly yours, J. W. EDIE. House - Burked Yesterday morning, about 3 o'clock, the new frame dwelling house of Mr. James Maloney, of this place, situate on the south side' of Lloyd street, between Centre and Julian streets, in . the West Ward, was entirely destroyed by fire. The fire was first discovered by Mr. Ma loney himself, who was very ill at tbe time and was the only occupant of the house. The wind being from the south-east, large Hakes of burning shingles, gradually dying out, were blown so far as Main Btreet but the air being damp and heavy, they were extinguished almost as soon as they touched the roofs of the intervening buildings. All the household effects were consumed, amounting to about two hundred dollars. There was an insurance on the property, but we do not know its amount. The ori gin of the fire is not definitely know. Hadlcat County Convention. j At the appointed time the Convention met at the Court House, and was called to order by the Chairman, Mr. George T. j Swank. Mr. S. opened the ball in a - decorous and dignified manner. He is a gentleman of considerable longitude, but ; very little latitude. Tt ntH . quired a clear day and a strong sun to have thrown a shadow for him. A. M. Gregg, Esq., presided, and was juutjcuuiieuus Him iair iu his decisions, i which he had acquired while running as ; Register and Recorder for the Brccken ridge wing of the Democratic party a few : years since. Samuel Henry, Esq., was nominated for Assembly, but an East Ward, Ebensburg, delegate declared that Samuel Henry I would not take the nomination. Another delegate, with a knowing look, asserted ; that Mr. Henry would not decline if a i 6trong ticket was nominated. The Con vention, not seeming disposed to risk this, Mr. Swank (who from Chairman subsided, Or rather. PularrtpH intrt a r1nlAvo, .. j .

John T. Harris was then unanimously j nominated for Sheriff. , Nominations were then made for Treas j urer, and Thomas Griffith was the un I lucky man. Two first-class candidates j were offered from Ebeusburg Hartman j Berg and William H. Connell and. while Berg had 24 votes and Connell 19, Griffith i bad one maioritv m-nr 1H, Titi. i u - - - - J " i ii biicrn? gentlemen had canvassed actively for the nomination both are very fair men but the Johnstown delegates nominated Grif fith, who had never been named as a can didate till that morning, when Adams township voted first on the list. Her dele pates, both Germans, voted for Griffith, though they could not pronounce his name, and did cot know him from the Shah of Persia. The fact that Griffith is worth $100,000 may account for this, as the other gentle men, more popular, are comparatively poor. Mr. Griffith would not serve, if elected.. We will "bet $10, and prove it," that be will not be elected at all, as the people will not vote for a man who does not want the office, and will not fi?l it. Commissioner came next and George Myers, who ran last fall a very high vote, was named, and undertook to follow Hen ry's course and have the nomination pressed upon him ; but the Convention had set up another idol, and, instead of Myers, who was beaten only G8, they put up James Conrad, who has been repeatedly beaten 800 or 900 votes. For Poor House Director the northern delegates tried hard to nominate Heury Hopple, a Democrat, by way of creating a diversion, but here again they failed, as the Johnstown forces rallied on Tobias Stutzman and made him the candidate. Johu Cushon was then nominated for Auditor. He is a man of much weight, drawing some 200, and a good speaker. For Jury Commissioner E. P. Barker came in. It is thought by many that he can be elected. John II. Fisher, Esq., au excellent man was nominated for Coroner, defeatiug Jas. Cunningham, of Carroll, because in that locality there would be no dead-heads to sit on ; and John I). Barkley, a first-rate man, who was defeated ou account of the Unholy Traffic." A committee was then named, whose chairman we did not lear;i, and resolutions were passed in favor of giving the radicals the offices. The subject of local option was not touched upon, and practically ignored by the delegates. Thy did not undertake to explain why a radical Legislature forcod it upon the people. It was clear it could not be forced on the members of the Con vention. The Convention was nearly full some of the members very. Two of the dele gates addressed the chair twenty-six times each, and always followed each other. Iu the main, however, the Convention was composed of honest and intelligent gentlemeu, but the nominations wcro mainly agreed upon before the Convention met. The Convention was held on Monday. At the present writing (Wednesday even ing) all the delegates have left, excepting one, who, as we write, is calmly reposing on our steps, in the consciousness of hav ing performed his duty. For thefa-cts in the foregoing we are in debted to a friend the deductions are our own. The German Reunion. The Grand Tie union of the Germansof Huntingdon, Blair and Cambria counties, took place in a grove near Summitville, yesterday week. An immense concourse of people were present. The festivities were presided oven,yrw. Jakl, Kn., 0f Holhdays burg, and numerous speeches, botti in er man and English, were delivered. After the speaking was concluded, the following resolutions were read by Mr. Jackel, and unanimously adopted i 1st. That the Germans of Blair, Cambria, and Huntingdon counties permanently or ganize an association. 2d. That the Committee now serving be retained until a neve one has been elected. 3d. That we tender our hearty thanks to the English speakers who so ably addressed us to-day. Music, singing and dancing were the order of the day, and the crowd, after en joying themselves to the full of their bent, separated at an early hour in the evening. It is the intention of the Germans to hold an annual meeting of the same character. If we live, we hope to be present at the next reunion. That Froo. We have been requested by the gentleman who is most mixed up in the mat ter, to say to the local editor of the Altoona Tribune, that his account of the frog catching which was recently attempt ed iu this region, is flat, stale and un profitable" when compared with the fear ful reality. It is just as utterly impossible for him or any other man fitly aud ade quately to describe that mill-dam adven ture, as it would be "to gild refined gold, to paint the 1 illy or add perfume to the violet." To be fully appreciated, requires it to have been teen in all the immense pro portions of its unsurpassed folly aud ab snrdity. Moitxtjun Gingerbread. Take half pound butter, quarter pound sugar, six eggs, and whites beaten separately ; one tea spoonful each of ground cinnamon, allspice and cloves, one table-spoonful ginger, three quarters pint of molasses, four table-spoonfuls sweet milk, and one pound of flour, having in it one measure of Banner Baking Powder.

John Btehle and Conrad Bender, of Al toona, who have been on a tour through Europe, have reached their homes . in safety. - Literary Notice. Nothing finer has yet ben produced in this country in the form of a magazine than the September Aldii if. Europe and America have been laid under contribution to furnish the most marvellously beautiful pictures which the best artists tan produce. Mr. A. F. Burner has a series of three magnificent views in the Rocky Mountains, made ex pressly for The Aldine. In these days of Yellowstone expeditions and excursions to this famous region these pictures possess unusual interest. A full-page view of Clear Creek Canon, Rocky Mountains, opens up the wonderful grandeur of those hidden solitudes in a way to make them seem real; a large picture of the Snowy Range of the Sierra Madre is wild, glootnv and grand, while a skeUh of the interior of the Rocky Mountains gives one the impression that all the world is made of mountains. A charm ing full-page picture after ! jeun, a French artist, called "The Blue Bird," shows a be witching young woman confined in a strong tower to keep her from her lover. Mr. John Hows, a New York artist, has a full-page study of "Brookside "Willows," remarkable for its faithful interpretation of nature and minute detail. A finer picture is seldom seen. Mary A. Hallock gives a society sketch called "Who is It?" of two ladies peeping down stairs to catch a glimpse of the man at the hall door. lore, the great. French artist, furnishes two large pictures illustrating the fairv tale of the "Sleeping Beauty." One of these shows tbe wonder ful "Sleeping Palace," with the huntsmen in profound slumber; the other mirrors the "Sleeping Beauty" in her vine-covered bal cony in the golden sunlight. These two pictures are magical in their effect, and full of the subtle genius of Dore. Peter Moran has a carefully drawn picture called an "American Fatm Scene," which is truthful and characteristic. There is also a fine pic ture of "Emperor Charles V. and Titian, after Becker, which illustrates a well-known historical event. "A Skve Terrier" closes the grand list of illustrations for Septemler. .a h of these pictures are well described in the letterpress, the editorial articles on 'Colorado" and the "Sleeping Rcautv" beiug of special interest. Mrs. .lulia C. R. Dorr opens the number with an exquisite poem of considerable length, entitled "Rena; a Legend of Brussels." It has all the beau y d prace of Tennyson's "I.orksley Hall." which it resembles. R. K. Weeks adds a gem of a poem called "In Septem ber." The prose contributions are all ex cellent. "A Great Man in a Green Hat" is a capital satire on the modern art of "inter viewing," written by G. I Lathrop. "F. W." has a chatty article "Concerning Cos tumes" 'The Burgomaster in a Bottlo" is one of those quaint French stories which only Messrs. Krckmann-Ohatriau could have written. "On The Trap" is an ex citing love story by E. B. Leonard. W. W. Bailey has one of his pleasant and readable assays-on "Motion in Plants." James Jack son Jarves, the well known writer n art, contributes a very interesting account, of "Mrs. Browning's English Home." The departments of Music, Art and Literature are each well filled with good solid reading matter, fully maintaining the high reputa tion The Aldine has long since earned. Sub scription price S-", including ehromns "Vil lage Belle" and "Crossing the Moor." Jas. Sainton & Co., publishers,' 58 Maiden Ltfne, TriK Phrenological Journal for Sep. teniber, now on our table, must lie pro nounced by every reader a capital number.

Gordon, a Murderer, with portrait, etc. Subscription price, S3 a year. S. R. Wells, Publisher, 39 Broad way, New York. "Throw Physic to the Dors." "The Grai-hic" recently gave an illustration of the new chromo issued by the Murray Hill 1nblishing Co., U'i East Twenty-eighth Street, N. Y., from Blsjiham's painting "Throw Physic, to the Dogs." . The subj.jct is a little girl physicing various specimens of the canine race. The scene is a. laughable one, and the different attitudes of the dogs are exceedingly pleasing. It was designed to illustrate Dr. Foote's aversion to drugs, and accompanies each copy of his well-known work, "Plain Home Talk and Medical Common Sense." The Do lor's practice is thoroughly "New School," and in this way he stauds prominently out from the profession a successful practitioner. The book is a volume of 912 pages aud 200 illustrations, filled with facts and reason relating to mankind, and their social and physical status. The Graphic says of it: "It is an encyclopedia of useful knowledge." A noted clergyman of this city testifies to its merits, remarking: "It is a library in itself." The j'ranllin RrpoxiUtry, of Cham bersburg, Pa., speaks of the picture as "a beautiful chromo, very pleasant, and so en joyable as to bo almost good company." -Veto York Express. Ballou's Magazine for September. -This Magazine, a universal favorite with all classes of society, rich and poor, is issued for September, and a rare nti tuner it is, brim full of genuine matter such as interests all . 1 - ..-- i telling of adventure in the arctic regions (which was crowded out of the August number), and a well written 6ketch about newspaper reporters, contributed by one of that useful profession, the celebrated M. Qjuad of the Detroit Free Press, a most promising young writer, who served through the War hs a soldier, bas passed many months In the Indian country as a trapper and hunt er, and now acts as editor. In addition to all this Is a well prepared paper ou Brazil, several beautiful stories, an extra good sup ply of poetry, and among the latter is a poem by Miss Mosby of Virginia, a near relation of the celebrated Colonel Mosby of guerrilla fame, and the usual illustrations and comic cuts. All the back nnmliers from January supplied by the publishers, THOMK8& TAL BOT, 36 Bromfleld !treet, Boston, and for sale at all periodical stores in the country. Right on the Record. Xow and then a rumor reaches the public ear that some body, generally a resident of the rural dis tricts, has been "taken in and done for" on a sewing machine, or some other lator-saV-ing invention. In a few instances these dis honest dogdges have been ventilated through the newspapers, one or two cases having re cently been reported, wherein a sewing ma chine agent is said to have been granted the privilege ot leaving machines at certain houses until he would call for them, receiv ing in return what purported to be au ac knowledgement of such fact, duly signed by the proprietors of such houses, but what afterward proved to be exemption notes, payable within a specified time. We say stories of this kind have been told time and again, but whether true or false it is notour purpose now to inquire. We merely wish to say that, if true, Mr. M. L. Brown, of this place, agent for the renowned and unsur passable Singer Sewing Machine, is not the man who did the swindling. He has a ma chine that can and does recommend itself, and he has come among ns to make an hon est living in an honest way, and would not resort to auy disreputable dodges if a for tane conld be made in the operatiou. . We know these statements to l facts, and while we can truthfully say, after an experience ef several years iu our own family, that the linger machine i without a superior, we can just emphatically declare that Mr. Brown is above and beyond a mean of mercenary act of any kind. He believes, as we believe, that no family should do without a : sewing machine, and thus believing be offers, on tbe most liberal terms, a machine that never has and never will fail to give entire satisfac tion in every instance, and if the parties whom he solicits do not see fit to purchase that is the end of the transaction. He deals fairly and squarely, and deserves to be dealt with in like manner. Let him be encouraged. original. T Annie K XV.. m,i bef nit Preaeulei by , er witb n Flower. '.
