Let them have light. It is said the Mt. Union Council lacks back bone. This is truly distressing. Rev. Ruben E. Wilson, of Altoona, preached in the M. E. Church on last Sunday. Fires are extremely demoralizing. If yon don't believe it, ask the policemen. The first snow squall of the season visited this bailiwick on Tuesday of last week. The Pennsylvania Railroad has made great improvements at Warriors Ridge station. The new Constitution is to be submitted to a vote of the people on the 16th of December. Rev. It. E. Wilzon, of Altoona, preached in Vie M. E. Church, in this place, on Sunday last. Huntingdon is built over a deposit of excel lent potters' clay. It makes the best of stone ware. John Cunningham trots out as neat and nosey a running turnout as there is one about the town. It is not true that 500 laborers were sus pended from the Altoona shops on Saturday a week ago. The Insurance office of G. B. Armitage & Co., of this place, sustained all the losses by the late fire. A successful religious revival has been in pro7ress in the Baptist Church, of this place, fur a week past. Why is the Altoona Daily Tribune like an old toper ?—Bocause it cannot get along with out its Todd ie. Mr. S. S. Place, of this place, is canvassing for the "Cast-a-ways," one of the most reada ble books of the period. The railroad company should erect a foot bridge over the railroad from the Union Depot, on Fourth street. Wm. Foster has the fattest woodchuck in the State. He makes old "Jude's" month w'tter whenever he looks at him. Court will be an excellent time to settle up your little arrearages for subscription. Don't forget it, as we need the money badly. The fire company should have a span of horses, the necessity for which was fully de monstrated on last Wednesday morning. The five families that were made bouseless by the fire have had considerable difficulty to find empty houses for their accommodation. The usual number of thieves attended the late fire. There are always those who are ready to prey on the misfortunes of their neighbors. Our frien&C. H. Anderson, esg., spent a few days in town last week. He looks as if the atmosphere of the State Capital agreed with him. When you come to Court next week just put a.few extra dollars in your wallet for the printer. Don't fail to do this and your name will be blessed. Our friend, George F. Marsh, esq., formerly of this place, now of Altoona, has built him self a very seat and comfortable residence in the latter place. A new, self-feeding heater has made its ap pearance which burns Pittsburgh coal. One can he run a whole winter on fifteen dollars worth of that article. A new pavement has been pnt down on Twelfth street between Washington and Mif flin. Several more are very much needed in the some neighborhood. The fellows who got into their new fangled shirts upside down and with the wrong side of their pants in front, are now laughing at their late perplexity.. One Tribune sends greeting to the other, thus: "Aearn Phule is the local editor or' so and so. This is somewhat primitive, and yet not original. The fireman who was terribly outraged the morning of the late fire, because a lamp post would persist in getting into his way, got his "Bitters" without a prescription. The A. D. B. set spent a gay evening at the resid,nce of Col. Dorris, on last Thursday evening. The juniors display much more sociability than their seniors. A brakeman, named Goff, is reported to have fallen from a freight train and to have been ground to fragments, at Bailey's Station, on the P. R. R., ono day last week. Mrs. Rebecca Gorsuch has been bound over to answer the charge of burning the bare of Mr Andrew Decker, in Henderson township, on the morning of the 18th of October. The various manufacturing establishments here have not cut down the number of employ ees, but some are contemplating cutting down the t* me, and consequently the wages. Eight new caboose cars, manufactured by Orbison & Co., have been delivered to the H. Ss B. T. It. Co. The brakemen on that road intend to live like lords in the future. We understand that the friends of ono of the successful Democratic candidates at the recent election, are sending in heavy bills for campaign expenses. How is it, "Cy ?" Some one should keep boats to hire for a row on the Huntingdon dam. It would be come quite a resort and would pay well. There is no finer body of water in the mountains. Huntingdon is doing the clever thing in the way of procuring handsome turnouts. A few years ago there were not a half dazes carriages to he seen ; now we have them by the score. John Bowers, esq cashier of Wan. Lloyds' Bedford Bank, was in town the other day. lie is a most excellent financier, and his hank is in uo wise responsible for the suspension. The *idle on the Lewisburg, Center and Tyroneilailroad, over the little Juniata, below Tyrone, has been completed. Soon the iron horse will be heard in the land of the Warriors. The West Huntingdon people are complain ing frightfully against the wretched condition of the board walks. Here is a chance for a member of the Council to distinguish himself. The fellow who usually carries the poker . and smoothing irons out and places them in a secure place and then goes bask and throws the looking glass out of the window, was at the fire. Al. cyan, of Bedford county, was convicted in the United States District Court last week, for attempting to remove liquor from his dis tillery without haring paid the government duty. Mrs. 'hilly, an aged lady, fell down stairs while her house was on fire, on Wednesday ...nine last, and bruised her head, face and other portions of her body severely. No bones were broken. One of the ways of keeping up the excheq uer of the Agricultural Society is to cut clown printers' bill. It is a small business but then there are, uow and then, Close who are equal to it. The new Williamsburg branch of the P. It. It., front Altoona, via Hollidaysburg to Wil liamsburg, was thrown open to the public on Monday of last week. Two passenger traitis will run on it daily. The Mt. Union Times says its going to wade through the "Legends of the Juniata." Why are they not published in pamphlet form ? Hundreds would read them if they were put up in an attractive style. The rats in Henry W Co's. establishment have a great fondness for wine. One of the clerics has lost several gallons. He is quite sure that it was the rats, as there is no wine bibber about the place. A rumor has been in circulation that Messrs. Thomas Burchinell & Son intended to suspend business, at the Planing Mill, until money mat ters ease up. Upon inquiry we find there is no foundation for the rumor. A petition, numerously signed, will be pro sented to the Council, praying them to pur chase another Silshy Fire Engine, of the second grade. The people are aroused at last. They used to sneer at our warnie:s. "Which?" is the mild form in which the Altoona Tribune pute it. Quite laconic, indeed. It may not exactly know Which is Which, but we are quite sure that we do know Whit la What. Dern such a poor 'Crum of comfort. There is an article at the top of the third col umn, on the first page, of the July and Octo ber number of the Typographic Adverli-ser, to to which we would call the attention of our Altoona cetemporaries. It might do some of them good. Everybody who is not the lucky owner of a residence is looking for a house. Why can not sonic of our capitalists build up several blocks of cheap houses for rent ? They psy 12 pr 15 per cent. This certainly ought to be an inducement. When one gentleman promises another a new bat to lceep•the coast clear to enable the former to steal a keg of beer, be ought to sock up when the party of the second part fulfills his part of the contract. One good turn de serves another, you know. Sine, six and seven eighths. The Kemble Coal and Iron Company, at Riddlesburg, have suspended upwards of sixty bands and have blown one of their furnaces ont of blast. The principal portion of the suspended men have found employment in the mines. Inability to sell their iron is the cause assigned. The fireman who concluded that he was in a condition to take his wearied comrad.e home from the fire, and who en their arrival there spent half an hour searching over t'he front side of the house for the aperture to in troduce the night key, swears now that he wets never so much excited in his life. The other morning while some excited indi vidual was hastering dowe the street:, pro claiming, far and wide, that the Court Bourn was on fire, a small conflagration was bril liantly illuminating the eager countenances of the crowd from the back of his coat. It •aaa extinguished without the aid of the Silsby . The jurymen and witnesses in attendance at the Adjourned Court, last week, asseverate that Judge Pall, of Bedford, is a gentleman in the strictest sense of the term. Be is one of the few judges in the State who will not per wit ignorant lawyers to browbeat unettspect ing witnesses. He made hosts of friends in Blair county last week. May he long five.— Altoona Tribune. We now and then meet an individual who wants to measure our corn by somebody elses half bushel. We want it distinctly un derstood that we do business for ourselves, from our own standpoint, and charge such prices as will enable us to live and pay our debts without becoming the objects of charity. The man who runs a business that will not support him and itself is a fool. Since the fire there appears to be a much more healthy sentiment in regard to 'Water Works. It is a great pity that this important project has been postponed, as a large number of laboring men could have found employment during the coming winter, at fair wages, and thus put in circulation a considerable RIM of money, as well as afforded them a means for suppzrting themselves and families. Twenty-three years ago, on last Friday eve ning, while the writer hereof was a green cub in the Redford Inquirer office, and while he sat reading his usual evening's task, some grace less scamp unceremoniously opened the door, and hurled a large cabbage head across the room. Ho no doubt thought that two heals were better than one, tliong,b one were a cab bage head. It was our first introduction to Hal lowe'en, and from that until the present we have never forgotten the occasion, and nev er fail to associate it with heads of cabbage. THE FAILURE OF LLOYD, HAMILTON Co.—llessrs. Lloyd, Hamilton & Co., bank ers, extensively connected with the banking interests of Pennsylvania, suspended payment yesterday afternoon. They wera prominent and presumably conservative, but, represent ing ful y thirty five large banking institutions of the Iron State—all of them more or less in titnately connected with the now embarrassed manufacturing interests of that country—they had no hope of withstanding the trial to which so many others here have lately succumbed. They were members of the Stock Exchange, but are understood not to be much involved in that direction. The house is allied with that of Lloyd, Cassatt A Co., of Philadelphia, and represents here the following bankers of Pennsylvania: Kerr A Co., of Altoona; Wm. M. Lloyd & Co., Altoona; The Appollo Savings Bank, Appollo ; The Ashland Savings Bank, of Ashland ; W. M. Lloyd, of Bedford ; The Brookville Bank, of Brookville ; The People's Bank, of Charmichaels ; The Discount and Deposit Bank, of Clarion; The Citizen's Say 1 ings Bank, of East Brady ; Lloyd & Co., of Ebensburg ; Farmers' Bank, of Elizabethtown; Lloyd, Huff A Co., of Greensburg; Indiana County Deposit Bank, of Indiana; Farmers' and Miners' Bank, of Irwins ; John Dibert & Co., of Johnstown ; Lloyd, Huff A Watt, of Latrobe ; F.

A DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION— Three Buildings andjive Familia Burned Out—A Perfect Hurricane of Fire—All that Portion of Town East of Third Street Endangered.—On Wednesday morning, about half-past four o'clock, an eng,ineer running an eastern bound freight train, gave an extraordinary alarm of fire, and in a few minutes the lurid reys of the devouring clement shot up to the heavens and were reflected from the clouds and sur rounding objects. The wind was blowing a severe gale from the west. The air was cold and biting. When we reached the scene of conflagration the .Huntingdon" boys had their engine in position, the hose attached, and were waiting a sufficient steam pressure. A large number of persons had already assem bled and their numbers were being rapidly augmented. The Cincinnati nest had thrown a spark whidi bad lodged on the roof of a weather-boarded log building, owned by Jno. W. Matterc, esq., which was not discovered until the wind had fanned it•into nn incon siderable blaze. When first discovered a sin gle bucket of water would have extinguished it, but there was no means of reaching the fire until the inmates could be aroused and made sensible of their peril, which took some time. The wind. meantime, drove the fire across the roof and into the adjoining brick buildingof Andrew Johnston, esq., and in spite of the wind, as it were, it lapped back and made a furious onslaught upon the frain% weather boarded log building of Mr. Joseph It. Car mon. Up to this time the engine had not got up a full head of steam, while the wind was blowing a perfect hurri cane. The flames leapt across the John ston building and communicated to the roof of Mrs. Hartley's stone residence in the rear. A few minutes later the steamer began to throw two splendid streams upon the devouring fiend. The fire on Mrs. Ilarlley's house teat wiped out almost by a single sweep of the nozzle, and this section of the hose was pass ed into the rear of the burning buildings and two powerful streams, one from the front and the other from the rear, were poured upon the burning buildings. Here the wind increased its fury, and the air became one blinding, scorching, hissing hail of sparks, until it be came necessmy to hold your breath to avoid inhaling them. it wan a magnificent sight. In a moment a cry was raised that the Court House was on fire. V Away dashed the crowd. Then Senator Petriken's house, St. John's Episcopal Church, Thos. Fisher's stable, the Morrison House, 1:),. R. Allison Miller's office, and others, fifteen in all, some of them two squares away. There appeared to be Ito Lope for the Eastern end of town, but prompt ac tion on the part of those who are accustomed toing scale buildings soon quenched the incipi ent flames, and the Snaky checked the ardor of the conflagration, and the wind could not make headway against man, 'steam and water Three times the Court House was threatened, and three times did some sturdy son of toil come to the rescue and save it. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon those who manned the "Huntingdon." For hours they worked, runny of them drenched to the skin with water, with the wittier air cold and piercing, to save the town. All did their duty, and the Silsby engine is the theme of universal prai•e. The whole lower end of the town would have gone if it had not been for her splendid execution. Those who resisted her purchase are now her warmest friends. The juniors, with the o:d "Juniata," did marvellously well, and were the admiration of everybody. Stationed in the rear of the fire they poured an incessant stream upon the roofs and gables of the surrounding buildings and thus prevented their ignition by the my riads of sparks. The old "Phoenix" was also brought into reqnisition and enacted her role- She fell to the lot of the youngsters who do not belong to the "liluntingdon," and the way they made her squirt was truly admirable. They earned their "bitters," and they drank them. An hour or two later theirs was a lira her crowd. There were five families left bouseless.— Hoch of their goods were saved. John W. Matters, esq , experienced the heaviest loss, as he was entirely without insurance. The following is an approximate estimate of the less, viz : Andrew Johnston. esq., brick building, $2,- 000. Insurance $2,000. A. P. W. Johnston, drug store, $2,000, fur niture $4OO. Insurance $1,500. Jos. 11. Carmon, house and furniture, $2,- 500. Insurance $2,000. John \V. Mattern, csq., house and furniture, $4,000. Na insurance. Mrs. Sarah McCauley, furniture, Sc., $5OO. No insurance. Miss Martha K. Nolte, furniture, $lOO. No insurance. This is the first important fire that has oc curred in Huntingdon fur half a dozen years. Five families have been made houseless, and only through the persistent efforts of the pro gressive men of the place, in procuring a decent steam fire engine, against the opposition of those who always stand in the way of improve ment, was the entire lower end saved. But suppose there had been no water in the canal, or that the fire bad broken out on any of the back streets, what would have been the result? Why, Somerset or MiftEntown would have been repeated. No power under the control of man could have saved anything from destruction cast of the starting point.— Does this not tell us, in a voice of thunder, that if the town is to be saved, in all seasons of the year, that we must have Water Works? If the canal had been frozen up or empty, a quarter of a million of dollars would not have footed the loss, wh , le, ail it is, ten or twelve thousand dollars will do it. A RUNAWAY LOCOMOTIVE —Oa Sat urday evening, Mr. Charley Greist, engineer of a "posher," received orders to briny his engine from Galitzin to Altoona. While coming down the grade at a rapid rate of speed, the brake of the tender snapper asun der, and the impetus of the locomotive could not therefore be controlled. In this emer gency, Mr. Greist reversed the motion of the locomotive, and he and the firemen jumped to the ground. The reversal of the engine had tile efF ct of blowing out the cylinder head of the locomotive, and the ponderous machine drifted down a helpless wreck, as a ship with out a rudder, into this city, its speed seeder ated with each mile it traversed. It so chanced that a locomotive was being brought out of the shops at the precise juncture when the fugitive locomotive made its appearance here. The two rushed togetherin fearful em brace, but strange to say, but little damage other than the demolition of the row-catch ers of each was done. The engineer and fire man of the second locomotive also jumped for their lives, and were not hurt. It was a thrilling accident, and the con,equences migh have been tearful to contemplate. Had not the second locomotive been present to stop the flight of the runaway, it is altogether probable that the latter would have run di rectly into the shops at the rate of a mile a minute, and the amount of damage done to life and limb in that case would have been simply incalculable.--41toona Daily Tribune, Nov. 3rd. SHOOTING MATCH.—On Thanks-4iving Day there will be a shooting match, in Hun tingdon, cn an extensive scale. Fifty turkeys will be shot for.

LLOYD & Co.—Our people were ta ken by surprise, at noon yesterday, when it was announced that the banking house of Wm. M. Lloyd & Co., had closed its doors. The failure of the house of Lloyd, Hamilton &Co., of New York, was the cause. Up to this time the house of Wm. M. Lloyd & Co. has enjoyed the almost unlimited con• tidence of our people, and notwithstanding its present suspension, those best acquainted with its responsibiity have no fears as to its early resumption, if that be deemed best, or final closing up, paying dollar for dollar. A full statement of the condition of the bank will be prepared in a few days. At present we know but little about its con dition. The failure of the New York house was unlooked for by Mr. Lloyd and fell upon him unawares. The extent of the failure can not be known for a day or two. The closing of the New York house has in volved the closing of all banks here and else where, in which Mr. Lloyd was individually The failure of Win. M. Lloyd & Co. does not affect the First National Bank, or the Me chanics' Saving Bank, of this city, both of which will continue business as heretofore. MI checks drawn by the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, including those drawn upon Wm. M. Lloyd & Co., will be paid on presen tation at the First National Bank. The statement in the Johnstown tribune that Wm. M. Lloyd was connected with the House of Lloyd, Cassatt & Co., Philadelphia is incorrect, as he has not now and never had any connection with it. The above we clip from the Altoona Tel bone, of Friday morning last. It is with sad ness that we received the intelligence. The confidence of the people of the Juniata Val ley, in Wm. M. Lloyd & Co., was unbounded. The uniform courte,ey and disposition to ac commodate, which marked their intercourse with their patrons, was well calculated to wake them popular. This stroke will be severely felt in Bedford where the people have hardly recovered from the former suspensions. We do hope that it is only temporary and that they may be able to reume is a few days. Sr. N Ci!OLAS FOR NovotnEtt—The first number of St. Nicholas has just been is sued. Pictorially, it is one of tue most beau tiful magazines in the country, being enrich ed by desicris from the pencils of Miss Hal lock, Sol Eytinge, Miss Ledyard, Sheppard, Bolles, Bread and others. The reading matter is varied and bright. There are thirty-three artic;es, some for the very little ones, some for the oldest of young people and some for every age between. We fled in its broad, well-printed pages, poems by Willia6 Cullen Bryant, Celia. Thaxter, Lucy Larcom and others. There is a capital human-fairy sketch by R. Harding Davis. Donald G. Mitchell contributes a characteris tic article, entitled “Who Wrote the Arabian Nights ?" and the first chapters of a serial story by P. it Stockton are given. Among Vie stories we find a charmingly told account of a fairy's visit to a bee-hive, by Annie Moore; aid lively tales by Paul Fort and J. S. Stacy. Lucretia P. Dale tells the adventures of a doll Noah Brooks has a capital article for boys, called , By the Sea." and Olive Thorne talks about a certain "Old-Fashioned Hat." There are also interesting descriptions of zebras, passenger pigeons. the curious inhab itants of the Farallone Islands, and the Pieta Indians, besides bright little "Jingles" and a whole page in large type for little children with big eyes. We must not forget to men tion as an admirable features a short story in German, for the benefit of youngsters who are learning that language. Then "Jack-in-the- Pulpit," a curious fellow who is full of little bits of wit and wisdom ; and there are capital notices of juvenile books, intended for those who will read the books, and a puzzle depart ment that will certainly sharpen the wits of the youngsters. FIREMEN'S PARADE AT HUNTINGDON —The Vigilant Boys, of Altoona, to the ion tingdon Boys, Greeting.—At a recent meeting of the members of the Vigilant steam Fire Engine Company, No. 2, of Altoona, who par ticipated in the Firemen's parade, at Hunting don, the following resolutions were unani mously adopted Resolved, That the thanks of this company are justly due and arc hereby tendered to the Huntingdon Steam Fire Engine Company and the officers of the Agricultural Society for the many courtesies extended to us on the occa sion of our visit to Huntingdon. Resolved, That J. Simpson Africa, esq., the Chief Marshal of the parade, was the right man in the right place. He is a gentleman in the strictest adaptation of the term ; a nine in whom there is no guile; a fireman who is as brave as he is courteous, and a good fellow generally. Resolved, That the citizens of Huntingdon generally, and the ladies in particular, are firm friends of the firemen, as was evidenced by the welcome we received at the hands of the former and the floral offerings on the part of the latter. Resolved, That we will ever bold in grateful remembrance the assistance rendered us on the occasion in question by the members of the Excelsior Dose Company No. 3, of Altoona, our junior lire organization. Resolved, That the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, through its gentlemanly Superin tendent, John Reilly, esq., and the Train Mas ter of the Middle Division, Robert D. Steel, esq., has again placed us under obligations for favors and kindnesses extended to us on the occasion of our recent excursion, favors and kindnesses which will never be forgotten. WM. M. Rose . 1 CLARENCE STEES, COMMittße. SA3ICEL BLACK, ) CHILI) DItOWNED.—On Wednesday of last week while the hostler at Lowry, Eichel berger & Sons' stables was in the act of getting a bucket full of water out of the head race to the Company's engine house, his at tention was attracted to what appeared to be a child's hand. A closer examination reveal ed to him the whole body, and calling' for help, Painter, manager for the company, at once came to the man's assistance in taking out the lifeless body of a little boy. The corpse proved to be the child of Mr. James E. Bedding, salesman in the Company's store, who lives on a bmk street rather near the race, but several hundred yards above the stables. The .hild was between three and four years old and had been missed but a very short time.—Bedford County Press.

Saxton, Superintendent of Weights and Meas ures, United States Coast Survey, died at his residence, in Washingtos, on Sunday evening, 26th ult., at 8:30 o'clock. He had been in failing, health for the past four years, having in that period suffered from a succession of paralytic strokes, which terminated in his death. A Washington paper has the follow ing sketch of his life: Mr. Ssxtoa was born in Huntingdon, Huntingdon county, Pennsyl vania, on the 22d of March, ITN. He was a man of extraordinary mechanical genius, and may be justly ranked among the eminent self made roes of the present century. The late Prof. Bache, in an assemblage of scientists a few years since, pronounced him to be "the greatest mechanical genius the world ever saw." In early life Mr. Saxton learned the silversmith business in his native town, and when but sixteen years of age made a printing press, and printed a small newspaper. When quite a young man he went to Philadelphia in a boat built by himself. He resided in the Quaker City several years. While there he made the old city clock, which yet marks the time from the summit of Independence Hall. Subsequently Mr. Saxton went to London, and in that city and in Paris he resided nine years. He was the inventor of the celebrated electro-magnetic machine by which the first magnetic aperk was produced, and which he exhibited in London in the presence of forty thousand people, including forty distinguish ed scientists. While in that city he made the machinery for the Philadelphia mint, and was sent for to put it up. He was employed in the mint for seven years in making the dies of the coin now in use. Mr. Saxton came to Wash ington about twenty-eight years ago, under the the auspices of Professor Bache, then Su perintendent of the United States Coast Sur vey. Since that time he has been employed in that office, and was, at the time o: his death, as above stated, Superintendent of Weights and Measures—a position which he filled with marked ability. While on this duty he made sets of weights and measures for all the State capitals of the Union, and also for the several Custom houses throughout the country. A fine pair of scales made by him attracted great attention at the London E.:- position, and a gold medal was awarded him. He was also the recipient at various times of other medals, awarded for his meritorious works. The deceased had been a prominent member of the Academy of Sciences, of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, and of other scientific organizations, and also a reg ular contributor to the Scientific American end standard publications in the scientific world. He was a devotee of mechanleal science and was highly honored by the dis tinguished scientists who were his cotempo rarics. His fune,al took place from his late residence on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE, From Lincoln, LISCOLS TOWNSHIP,OCt : 28, 1873 • EDITOR—Dear Sir :—ln the name of common sense, will that man Guss, of the Globe, and Potato Bug notoriety, ever ask any one to believe anything that may appear in that delectable sheet her , after? Notwith standing all his lying and protesting against his Guerrilla campaign being a Democratic move, after the inglorious defeat of leis Potato Bug ticket, he sets up the greatest shouts of victory Iver heard in the county. Why the Democrats whom he has helped to some of the offices cannot begin to betray the same emo Lions of gratitude that Gum, the true Repub lican, as he calls himself, does. Is tt possible that any one can be blind enough not to see that he lies now or he lied before the election? No wonder that we hear men every day de nouncing him for the swindle. They can see now that what they were told by the only true Republican party, was the truth. And to see how lie attempts to villify and traduce some of the very best men the county ever knew—men who were known here before he was known as aman or disorganizer in Juniata county—t-e word of any one of the:.i would be taken by nine-tenths of this county sooner than his oath. Why does ho not give us the picture of that thing crying in hlarri;burg at the State Convention? I think he would make more out of that, if Barnum were to see it, than be will ever make by editing or die gracing the Globe, as he hss been doing. Yews, A REPUBLICAN ALL TOE TINE.
