This lit' ing maiistrosity is doing well and has at tained a size commensurate with its days. It tinist be admitted, however, that it Is a Mock cbiekeu for all that. We were troubled with a very annoying cold in the head a few flays ago, caus.ed by wet weather ami a pair of leaky boots, btlt found almost immediate relief by going to A. A.

Mr. Kinkead's upward progress carries with it an increased salary, and bis many friends hereabouts no doubt feel like congratulating hm on his well deserved promotion. We noticed last week Hint an Express car had been broken open and robbed of a nnmlr of valuable packages between Hlairs ville Intersection and A Itooi.a, and now have tbe .satisfaction of announcing that a man named Seymour J.

Dr. E. Donnelly, of Fitfsburg, ocenpies alwit a column of Monday's LHnpatch in telling what he knows about Brazil, where he resided for several years, and concludes by advising the Messrs.

Esq., of Tyrone, and H. Tt. Ilerr, Esq., of Altoona, two young and able members of tbe bar of lllair county, showed very plainly the kind of stuff they are made of as connsel for plaintiff in a case which came before Our county court on Tuesday evening last, but In which, throhgh ho fault of his attSrneys, their client was forced to take a nonsuit. Mr. Hicks was particularly happy in having tbe opportunity and pos sessing the peculiar knack of eliciting all the evidence that could be adduce;! in the case, and the way he popped the questions to the defendant very naturally led to the noncln sion that he is about as sharp as they make 'em. Not many years hence, we venture to say, the jwople cf Blair connty, if not of th entire State, will have to look to the top of the legal ladder to find Mr. Hicks, who has the ability and determination to reach that altitude and stay there. One of the most amusing cases that has ever lieen 011 trial iu this comity, and per haps the only one of the kind that has evr been before a J;iry anywhere, was that tf 'Klper vs. Iihim," wnith will bo found briefly reported under the head of "Court Froceetlliigs." The parties to the suit, both of whom are Germans, reside in Adams towuship, and the action was brought to re cover SI, "JO alleged to have been promised to the plaintiff for mid in consideration of im parting to a son of tbe defendant a full and perfect knowledgH of a certain art which shall here be nameless, bttt tha existence of nhit-ii is very frequently and painfully brought to the knowledge of horses, cattle ami other domestic animals. During the trial spectators. Jury, lawyers, and even the Conrt Itself, were forced to ''smile many a smole" loud and deep, the testimony, to say nothing of the questions and remarks of the counsel, J. F. Linton and J. H. Brown, Esq., for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Johnston Scaulan for defendant, was Tor tbe most part so ludricions that, few if any of tbe large crowd present could restrain their ris ibilities. M r. J. H. Coogan, of Clearfield township, whose barn, tenement house and other o.ir bniidlnga were destroyed by fire the latter part of September, hat! another experience of a similar nature between 5 and 6 o'clock on Sunday morning last, when a stable, erected for the temporary shelter of bis stock, etc., until a new barn could be pnt up, was burned to the ground, with a small quantity of corn-fodder stored therein, A couple of horses, cows and other livestock were in the stable al the time, but as the fire was started in tho mow instead of on or tinder the Mist floor, Mr. Coogan succeeded in getting the animals nil out safely, though not nntil ho himself had been considerably burned be tween the shoulders and one of the horses was Bligbtly exorched. There was no insur ance 011 tha structure. The impression is very general among Mr. Coogan's neighbors that the party or parties who are thus wan tonly destroying his property could be poiut ed out without any difficulty, but as that gentleman cannot be. induced to believe what seems plain enough to every one else, the probabilities are that the burning will go on as long as there is anything to feed the dames, the dwelling house perhaps excepted. A correspondent in tbe northern part of the county writes us to say that we were mistaken in announcing two weeks ago that Itarnev Fogle, of Harr township, whose illi cit stills were confiscated by, revenue officers on the Monday previous, was not at home at the time the raid was made, the fact being that he was not only to the fore, but that tbe officers of the law bad eucceeded in putting the "iewolry" npen him. Th.it they did not keep'them on him, however, is equally true, but why they did not our correspondent does not pretend to say, though we learn from another source that it was because some of the lookers-on made fun cf them for using such precautions whea.they were two to one in the contest. Be that as it may, as soon as the handcuffs were removed Barney, as our informant facetiously remarks struck for higher wages, and that Is how tho milk rftinetobein the cocoamlt, though the vic timired minions of the law seem to have been too modest to mention it. The same correspondent assnres us that ir rumor be true there are no less than ten illicit stills In operation along the Susquehanna river, five of .which ara run by Bteam and the other five by water power. If this s thus the question very naturally suggests Itself, whero are the detectives? Criminals Sf.stesced. On Monday night last J tnlge Dean imposed tbe follow ing sentences on the several parlies who, with a single exception, plead guilty in our couuty court last week of arson, burglary, larcenv, bigamy and riot. On behalf of Mrs. Kyle, Wm. Vannett and David Huber appeals to the mercy of the Court were made by John Fenlon, Esq., and for young Goughe nonr and Austin Lanntz like efforts were made by John P. Linton and Daniel Mc Langhlin, Esqs., respectively. We give tho seutences in the order in which they were imposed, Judge Dean in the abundant good ness of his great heart taking occasion to impart to each of the culprits in his torn a few words of good counsel and kind admoni tion, which we trust they will not fail to cherish acd profit by : Franklin Oouglienour, who plead guilty to eleven different indictments for bnrirlary and larceny, was pentenced on five of them, his Honor suspending sentence as to the other six. For one of tbo five offenses to which he con fessed, the prisoner was sentenced to pay a fine of HP.10 and costs of prosecution, and to serve for k. term of two and a half vears in tbe West ern Penitentiary, while for the four remaining crimes the penalty Imposed was 1U0 fine and two years' imprisonment on eath indictment, or ten and a half years in all. Austin Iunte, found guilty of riot in con nection with the railroad troubles of last July, was sentenced to pay a fine of 10U and cost of prosecution aud remain in the county Jail for a term of three months. Elizabeth Kyle( who plead guilty to the charge of biwamywus sentenced to pay 100 tine and ensis and to be imprisoned ia tbe coun ty jnil for si. months. Wm. Vannatt. for a like crime confessed, was sentenced to pay a similar sum, with costs, and undergo Imprisonment in the Western Peni tentiary for one rear and three months. David II liber, who plead guilty to an indict ment for iHrceny, his offensti being- ihe stealing of ten chichens, whs required to pay a fine of 5 end costs of prosecution and tnke up his abode In tbe county jail for tne term of twenty days. Henry Iouier, charged with larceny on two counts, to hot h of which tie plead a-uilty. was scutenccd to pay a fine of f0 and costs of pros ecution, and undere-o solitary confinement in the penitentiary, with hard labor, for oue year and six months. tJeorire Tnwnsend, iruilty by his own admis sion of the crime of arson in scttinjr fire to the stable of .Mr. John Phillips, in Johnstown, re ceived the same sentence that was imposed i.pon Gotiijhenour 4500 One, costs of prosecu tion. and ten yearsand a half in the penitentiary. Pnmuel Keam, prosecutor In s ome that was Ignored by the Grand Jury at his expense, was remanded to prison until th costs against him are liquidated, which muy be for aye, but Is not apt to be forever. During the time ocenpied in imposing the various sentences an almost death-like still tipss pervaded the entire assemblage, and so f.r as we noticed not even a smile was in dulged by any one except the two young men Townsend and Goughnour, who above all others should have been impressed with tbe solemuity of the. occasion, but who, jwdg ing from the fact that they frequently whis pered to each other and apparently found more in the proceedings to nmnse t'uao dis hearten them, seemed to have little concep tion of the enormity of their offenseB or the long imprisonment which awaits them, and which, if Some fortuitous circumstance does not intervene to prevent, will deprive them of what should, and if honestly employed would, lm the happiest days of their lives. When all was over, young Goughnour tlrew a citar from his pocket, which he lit in tho Conrt Honse, antl securely handcuffed to two oilier companions in guilt, marched out with the air of a conqueror rather than tbe crushed spirit of a eoudeusued criminal. "D n Nick WAY of Landing Passf.v riF.fis." The Altoona Tribune of Wednes day last relates the following adventure by flood and field of a well known citizen of this county, but as tbe gentleman referred to denies that port. on of the soft impeach ment which relates to the contents of certain bottles, we take the liberty of suppressing his name : The other evening a citizen of Lilly's, named - , took homeward pHsHireon tbe Mail, laden with p. bundle, a pMir of boots and some botth'Si He had either a vujrue notion of the topography or thecountry In lilt own bailiwick, ot the con tents of the bottles so confused his Ideits of home and distances that when the train rench ed Lilly's he did not know It. After the train lirt injrHin proceeded on its wny.be suddenly aroused tn thu fact that somebody had called out "Lilly's," and made for the car door, lip was halted by the conductor, who said he would stop the train ; but Mr. - wouldn't put any more faith in conductors, and jumped off the platform of the morlnr car. Just beyond the station is a culvert spanning Dcnn'it creek, and over this went the unfortunate man into sev eral feet of water. Tlni tmin was stopped an 1 conductor Vick went to look for his late pas senger. His attention was soon arrested by the shivering cry of "bring that litrht here; d - 11 nice way you iiHve of landinir piissengei 9." The liffht was hold so that he could s-e his way out, but the irate declare! lie wouldn't quit floimdei Inn in the water until he found his bottles and "sich." However, inn water would not yield them up, and when be wis in formed lhat I13" iroina on to Conemauirh he miirnt intercept his plunder, he emne up out of the waters and sought his hoin ihe wettest, both inlde. and out, if not tho widest man in Cambria county.
