LOCKING THE STABLE AFTER THE
lioasz is STOLEX— Water Works.—We clip the
following from an exchange :
Bel iensgmve, having sustained a loss of 150,000 by fire.
now feels able to procure a steam Bre engine, bore. Cc.,
at a cad of $lO,OOO, and a town meeting has resolved to
make the purchase, the borough officers to issue bonds,
payable in from one to ten years.
This is the policy the citizens of Hunting
don will adopt. They will wait and wait unr
til the fire fiend comes and destroys $50,000
worth of property and then they will bustle
about, at a great rate, and find no difficulty in
throwing their bonds upon the market to raise
money with which to establish Water Works
and to purchase suitable fire engines. They
must have tribulation deep before they can
be induced to put their hands in their pockets
and pull out the needful. Nothing but the
loss of thousands will do it. is this not su
preme folly?
You know that almost .every town of any
size, within fifty miles of you, has lost its
thousands in this iyay, many of them better
prepared than you are, and yet you have not
moved a peg. Every day brings the fiend
nearer to your doors, because it is only a
question of time, and yet you hind not the
terrible destruction of neighboring towns, but
you calmly fold your arms and resign your
self to the mercies of circumstances. Thus far
you have escaped, it is true, but the next
hour the alarm may be sounded and half the
town be laid in ashes. A few days ago the
proprietors of the Logan House, at Altoona,
felt as secure as you do, but at this writing
the greater portion of that splendid structure
is in ruins—a loss of $75,000. Prepare to
meet the fiend! If the majority of the present
municipal anthorities will do nothing, turn
them out and put in those who will. There
can be no further delay—the people must have
protection!
SPRING TRADE.—Hints for Our Mer
chants—How to Get TOUT Honey Back.—The
days when a store was opened and carried on
without even a sign to designate whatwas the
nature of its business, are over. Even the
most diminutive shop mounts its sign and is
sues its circulars, and advertising forms as
much a •part of the year's expense as store
rent, st circulating medium is a voice by
which the merchant, whose goods circulate
promiscuously among the community, may
speak to his entire custom, however large,
simultaneously, advancing his arguments,
mentioning his inducements, and describing
his stock to the entire public with the same
amount of labor which would be consumed in
conversation with a single customer. A busi
ness man may by the expenditure of a few
thousand now, occurs a wider reputation in a
few months than years of the most devoted
and successful attention to trade would have
given him before the era of advertising. His
name and occupation becomes identified. To
hear of him is to know what branch of cam
merce exercises his attention, Of all the va
rious means of advertising the most efficient
and economical is the publication of cards in
widely circulated papers, like the JouttsAL,
which goes into hundreds of houses, and is
read by thousands of persons. The merchant
who advertises in a leading papers sec•ires for
his personal interest an agent which is con
ceded to be the most powerful for fortulog
public opinion in existence.

ANOTHER RAIROD SMASH Up.— Three
Passenger Coaches Broken to Pieces—Two Killed
and Thirteen Wounded.—The Southern Express
train for the West on the Pennsylvania rail
road was wrecked at Concmaugh Furnace,
seventy-five miles east of pittsbarg, at To'olook
on last Friday morning. The cause of the ac
cident was a broken rail. The engine and
six forward cars kept on the track, but throe
cars went off, one of them going over the em
bankment. The three cars wrecked were pal-
" 4160
and the other the Baltimore and Pittsburgh
sleeper.
Two passengers were killed, one a young
German lady, Miss Amanda Hartman, a resi
dent of Chicsgo, and the other a jeweler of
Baltimore, named Isaac Josephs.
Wounded—Major A. P. Callow, Guy M. Ir
win, James Brown and Mrs. A. Roblem, all of
Allegheny, Pa., the two first named seriously ;
D. D. Patterson. of Washington City; Joseph
Lellybridge, of Forest, Ohio ; E. J. Tyron, of
New York ; G. W. Moore, of New York ; Rich
ard Vose, of New York ; G. N. Phillips, of
Newcastle; H. C. Frost, of Hannibal, Mo. ; E.
Sheppard, of Cadiz, Ohio, and E. Baker, of
Terre Haute, Ind.
Two of the three ears which were thrown
over the bank were entirety destroyed.
The train was about on time, and was ma
king its regular schedule run. which is not
fast.
Doctors were sent to the accident by special
trains from . Altoona, Johnstown and Pittsburgh
Every possible care was taken of tbe wound
ed, and they were taken to Prttsbitrgh by a
special train, arriving there about one o'clock
in the afternoon.
Among the seriously wounded are Major
Callow, Guy M. Irwin and Dr. Patterson. It
is not thought that any of these cases will
prove fptal.

A LECTURE BEFORE TUE RICHMOND,
Va., NORMAL SCHOOL.—Rev. A. R. Miller, for
merly of this county, delivered a Lecture be
fore the Richmond, Virginia, Normal School,
on Friday, March 15th, 1872. We clip the fol
lowing extract from the Richmond Daily State
Journal:
He announced as his subject ' . The Great Law
of Life." This consists in maintaining an uprivht,
moral charaeter under all circumstance=. This
implies an enlightened conviction of tie existence
and sovereignty of Almighty God; for the law we
have announced is a necessary result of thecharac
ter of God, and as immutable as the character
which ordained it. The principle that God delights
in virtue was recognized by the heathen. How
much more should it be observed by us under the
broad light of Revelation.
This law is not a. mire abstraction, but is of the
most vital practical import and of universal appli
cability. And it is impossible to evade its solemn
obligations, for God reigns everywhere and takes
cognizance of all human actions. Happiness can
not be attained on principles adverse to the will of
God. The virtuous are more prosperous even in
the present life than the wicked. Tho triumphs
of wickedness are only ephemeral, but those of vir
.tne are enduring.
Intelligence is a great auxiliary in the cultiva
tion of a perfect moral character. and is an indis
pensable requisite to insure permanent success in
life. A high degree of moral courage is necessary
in order to resist the banishment of fashionable so
ciety, the illusive voice of Circesn pleasures, the
vile suggestion of temporary expediency, and false
public sentiment. Principles of true piety should
be maintained and exemplified under all eiromn
stances, in life.
The lecture was fervid, spirited, and well deliv
lered, and listened to with the utmost attention.
At its conclusion the school sang a chant, and were
then dismissed.
I WHARTON is putting up a large warehouse
land will have increased facilities for his large
lly increasing trade. 27mar2t.
1 APPALLING DEATIL—Ou Friday morn
ing last a lad named Millard Youtzy, aged
about 16 years, son of John Yontzy of Brat
ton Township, was killed under the following
distressing circumstances. He was employed
at a saw mill, in the mountains, and was ri
ding a mule, w.th a bag of corn and a tin
bucket upon its back. The rattling of the ket
tle frightened the mule, and it set off on arun.
Some men in the road attempted to stop it,
when it broke into the woods, running down
the mountain p'll melt over rooks, timber,
and one fence, the boy fell soon after the
mule took to the wood, but his foot stuck
fast in the girth, and lie was dragged all the
distance, head downward. His head was fear
fully battered, and he was of course dead when
ithe mule stopped.—Lewistown Democrat;

TIM ALTOONA FlltEB.—Fall Particu
lars.—We take the following from the Altoona
Tribune of Wednesday last :
This morning about one o'clock a fire broke
out in the second story of the addition recent.
iv erected to the Logan House, extending from
the North wing of the hotel proper to Eleventh
avenue. The interior of the new portion of the
builCing, being of an inflamable nature, caused
by the rubbish left therein by the mechanics
iu charge of its completion, the fire Focal
spread through the massive structure envel
oping everything in a seething, scorching hell
of flame. The alarm was promptly sounded
by the night watchmen, to which the firemen
quickly responded, but despite their almost
superhuman efforts the flames soon communi
cated with the hotel proper and for a time
threatened the destruction of the entire build
ing. It was not until after two hours' terri
ble labor by the firemen that hopes were en
tertained of saving any portion of the hotel,
when it became apparent that the fire was
gotten under control and that it would be
confined to that part of the building extending
from Tenth to Eleventh avenues.
As the Tribune is ready for press our report
of the conflagration must necestarily be limited
in detail. Terrible indeed were thescenes
and incidents connected with the disaster. As
the red demon went madly rushing hither and
thither through the immense structure, claim
nig the costly hotel furniture as food for its
insatiable hunger and like forked lightning
exhibited its hydra -head through the many
window casements, it struck terror to the
hearts of the thousands of spectators, who
ware apprehensive lest one of the grandest
works of art in our young city would be to
tally destroyed. As the burning cornice would
Icosen and drop to the ground, causing myr
iads of sparks of the brightest glare to ascend
loaventiard, or wafted by the windin count
less directions, and coupled at times with the
almost deafening roar of the descending walls
aid partitions, it presented a panorama which
fcr vividness and grandeur is seldom witness
ei.
The origination of the fire in an unoccupied
portion of the building gave the guests of
the hotel ample time to gather up theiv-pna._
tonal effects and remove them to a place of
safety. Indeed we believe that no accidents
of even a trivial character occurred during the
conflagration. The walls of the northern
wing of the hotel arc left standing and it is
thought are uninjured to any great extent,
while a portion of the wall of the recent ex
tension made to the building has fallen down.
The loss of the hotel is variously estimated
at from 575,000 to $lOO,OOO, on which there
was no insurance. We could not learn wheth
er there was any insurance on the hotel fur
niture. The building is the property of the
Pennsylvania railroad company, and is leased
by the Keystone hotel company, being under
the superintendence of Sir. J. D. M'Clellan.
All honor to Altoona's noble firemen. They
were prompt to the rescue, and notwithstand
ing the bitter cold night, heroically labored in
the discharge of their arduous duties. They
were to be seen all around and on top of the
burning structure, dripping wet and dragging
hose on which ice was formed in large quan
tities. Perilling their lives by scaling high lad
ders, they fought the fiery element inch by
inch, now cheered by slight vantage ground,
and again disheartened with the thought that
their efforts would prove fruitless. But in the
end, indomitable pluck st:Al heroic work con
quered the fiery demon, and the hearts of the
brave boys were cheered with the thought that
their labors were not in vain. For over five
hours they rendered service the most efficient,
and succeeded in checking the flames ere half of
the imposing structure was in ruins. They did
their work well, and deserve the highest praise.
As we write, ten o'clock A. a., they aro still at
work throwing water on the burning ruins.
The origin of the fire Is unknown.
On Tuesday morning about seven o'clock a
fire broke out in the 3lechanic's Hotel, corner
of Ninth Street and Tenth avenue, Tho alarm
was not promptly sounded, and ere the fire
men arriYed al the scene of the conflagration
the roof of the structure was all ablaze, Up
on tho arrival of the firemen a couple of plug
streams were secured, but for some reason the
force of the water was not sufficient to render
very effective service. After the engines were
got in working order they did good service
and speedily succeeded in extinguishing the
flames. Although the building was a frame
structure,it burned slowly, The roof and up.
per story of the hotel were entirely destroyed,
leaving the remainder of the structure a total
wreck, A small portion of the household
furniture was also destroyed, There was an
insurance of $l,OOO on the property in the
German insurance company of Pittsburgh.
The fire is supposed to have originated from a

OFF TUE TRACK.—On Monday, of last
week, as the mail train on the Sroad Top
was approaching Piper's Run Station, a rail
broke and several cars were thrown from the
teach, two of which was pretty badly dam
aged. No one was seriously hurt. It is strange
what queer antics people will cut under such
hying circumstances. The mail agent informs
tie that the first thing he recollects when he
recovered his presence of mind, was standing
et his bead in the corner of the baggage ear,
Mello another party scrambled up the sides of
tie car, monkey fashion, quicker than greased
lightning. Too much credit cannot bo given
tie officials in charge of the train. All stood
In. their posts manfully. Young_ Clark, the
brakeman, was specralfrcommended for his
(bring in holding on to the brake when con
fusion reigned around and destruction appear
cialmost inevitable. The engine and freight
cars escaped. The train was going very slow
atthe time, and to this mainly can be attri
bsted the safety of the passengers. The COM
piny were in no way responsible for the acci
dent.
A THAT:: or CAtts BURNED-.--Early on
Friday morning last, (a few minutes after the
arrival of the Eastern Mail,) an oil oar attach
ed to a freight train which was standing on a
switch opposite the dwelling house of Dr. J. P.
Ashcom, on Erie Avenue, between Ffth and
Sixth streets, took fire, it is supposed from the
sparks of the engine of the Mail train, and
came very near malting sad havoc in our enter
prising place. The fire spread among the cars
in its vicinity very rapidly, and the flame and
smoke ascended into the sky in one large vol
ume, making an intense heat for a considera
ble distance around it. Hundreds of our citi
zens soon repaired to the scene, to assist in re
moving the Railroad company's stock and, if
possible, to prevent the fire from communica
ting the adjacent properties built along the
avenue. The trains were soon separated from
the 'laming cars, though before this could be
accomplished, we aro told several oil cars,
two coal and two of new railroad iron were
burned up.
The dwellings of Dr. J. P. Asheom, P.
McMahan, Wm. P. Crowley, John D lany, B.S.
Smith, and the store and dwelling of L. Putt
were more or less scorched, and had not water
been freely applied to the roofs and about the
front of these buildings, they undoubtedly
would have ignited, and perhaps half of Renova
would have perished with them before the prop -
er facilities necessary to subdue the fire could
have been secured. The intensity of the heat
may be judged by the fact that after the de
bris was removed from the track the rails
were bent and twist inta all manner of
shapes.—Renova .Recor4.

DEAR Jornsat. —Leaving Shirleysbnrg on
Monday, I arrived here the same day. The dis
tance from that to this place is four miles,
but when seated in the very comfortable con
veyance in the shape of an omnibus, with good
steeds and careful drivers, the distance does
not appear more than half that.
As regards beauty of location, Orbisonia is
not surpassed by any town in the county_
Situated on a platte, surrounded on all sides
by ridges and mountains, the scenery is quite
picturesque. The town, //built up, would be
near the size of.the Quaker City! The princi
pal streets are to be macadamized this sum
mer, and since here we have heard Nicholson
pavement mentioned, a /a Broad street, Phila
delphia style.
Gas and water works have been talked so
much that had a receiver been on hand suffi
cient of the first article could have been pro
cured to light the town for some time. Insur
ance companies to be organized, sewing ma
chine manufactories to be established, to say
nothing of the brick yards, corn and split
broom and axe handle manufactories to be
put up. A general disposition is manifested
by the eitizens to keep such improvements
going on, as fast as the collection of taxes will
allow, which taxes, we are told, arc paid re
luctantly by only a few. The Public School
system is to be renovated this year; this, we
arc informed, has been sadly neglected by the
citizens for a few years past, (?) but now such
men will handle the reins as knows 'whoa"
from "get along !"
The writer attended the closing institute of
the teachers of this district a few days ago,
quite a large number of citizens were in at
tendance. The most attractive exercise was
the debate in which others that the teach
ers participated. The resolution, verbatum,
we disremember, the substance being that all
men were born with the same chances of sue
cess, if said chances or ability are equally cul
tivated. The way in which it was handled
certainly done justice to the speakers as well
as the question ; and while some of them were
on the floor your correspondent almost imag
ined himself listening to a Demosthenes or
Cicero, or in still later ages to the touching
eloquence of Daniel Webster or Henry Clay,
. Henry. One
ofthe disputants waifg n - iistrurtrf-ropser
in—tincle Tom's Cabin, I think. Another
might have been called a good looking person,
and was dressed in rusty black, six feet tall
and as strong as an ox. He winds a couple
yards of green gingham round his neck and
ties it under his left ear, he wears a patent
shirt bosom, which is pulled to one side so as
to display the nice red shirt underneath. He
sports a high, patent collar, the strings of it
are loosely tied and falls down on l,is manly
bosom. A black cord attached to his eye
glasses meanders over his heaving chest. He
has a bald spot on the top of his head, full
beard and an eye like a bullet, lie is portly
and very handsome, and his garments have
quite a soapy look. Altogether the affair was
certainly a success.
Some feeling is manifested in this end of
the county about Senator Petriken's bill to
abolish the Pass Bocik System, introduced in
the Senate, January 24th, and which we think
is still in tho committee's hands. This bill,
if passed abolishes entirely the use of pass
books, orders or bills given by manufacturers,
railroad companies and others to their hands:
and requires said part:es to pay their employ
ees in cash,
This looks very fair at first glance, but on
second thought we change our opinion. Aniong
charcoal furnaces especially, this would be
anything but beneficial—would instead of do
lug the laborers a favor dd them great injury.
The company or owners would, by the passage
of this bill, have no protection from those de
signing to act the rogue. There are generally
stores connected with furnaces and mannf tc
luring establishments, from which the hands
procure their living.
Now a man is employed, is moved to this
furnace, lives hero a month or two, is credited
to seventy-five dollars worth of provision and
goods; the firm by the passage of this bill
cannot deduct this store bill from his wages,
but must pay him the cash expecting him to
immediately pay the bill, which he does not
do, but starts for some other vicinity to treat
other companies the same. Without the pas
sage of this bill thisman's store accountwould
have been deducted from his wages and he
paid the difference. This then is an example
of the bad effects of this bill on manufactur
ers; now for one on the side of the other
party—the worker,
A man is moved to a furnace, or other large
works, has no flour or provisions, and still
worse, no money; now after the owners have
been treated once or twice as in the shove ex
ample, is it likely to presume these will ad.
ranee this man provisions, before it is earned /
PRtiqtqiiiirV" 1111 g tgi
not passed the effect In the latter instance
wonld be different. Wo have noticed several
petitions, in our rambles protesting against its
passage. Rut our opinion with ot - iers in this
vicinity Is that the Honorable Senator only
introduced the bill to become popular, or make
himself known and Mat in the end he knew and
intended the bill to be killed.
I am thus in my letter a little prolix, in the
elucidation of this bill, and in giving our opin
ion of it, but it has at least one merit, that of
conveying to the reader a true and faithful
portrait of what would bo the condition of
things should our opinion be wrong and the
bill passed.

A Num/cm—Mr. Editor: As have been
taking your paper, for several years, I would
like very much if you would give me a small
space to call the attention of the Supervisor
elect of Cass township to a nuisance which
should be removed.
A short time ago I was passing through a
little valley, called Smith's Valley, in the
aforementioned township, when I reached a
farm that was apparently in a very sad plight.
The farmer had some queer ideas of farming.
lie had cut a large quantity of brush and
thrown them Into the township road where
they laid so thick that it was as much as a man
could do to get through: without having his
eyes scratched ont. The Supervisor, I hope,
will see that the nuisance is removed.

"HOW TO 00 WEST.'—Forty years
ago, Illinois was al far West as most people
wished to go, and journeys were made in the
legendary "Prairie Schooner," but in these
days of Progress and Improvement, the word
West has come to mean lowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Colorado, California and the Territories,
and the traveer reaches almost any point
therein by a splendid Line of Railroad.
This line of Railroad is the RUEI,INGTON
ROUTE, which starts from Chicago over the
Chicago,Burlington & Quincy R. K.; from In
dionapolis over the Indianapolis, Bloomington
& Western Short Line, and from Logansport,
over the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw 11. R., and
running through B.nuattirrox, reaches Omaha,
I:e;tventvorl - 1 - ata - Kansas City, connecting
with the Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific, and
other Railroads running from those cities.
Always go “By way of Burlington," and you
will sure to be right.
The Burlington Route has admirably an
swered the question “How to go West P by
