The new Assessors tire requested to note all the principal improvements j on farms, kc„ as a column has been in- ! troduced in the new assessment books j under the head of " Description of Im provements." By stating whether the dwellings are of brick, frame or log, C r C5 7 one or two story, and what kinds of barns are on the various properties, it will materially aid the assistants and 1 commissioners to form estimates ofj their relative value compared with others. We may also state that by law the term of assessors commences the day after the October election and contin ues until said day next year—conse quently the duty of attending the Presidential election devolves upon the assessors elected last spring. FATAL ACCIDENT. —Joseph Bingham Ferer, son of Henry Ferer, of this place, was so severely injured at St. Mary's, on the Erie Railroad, on Wed nesday last, that he survived but a i short time. He was fireman, and the ; train running off the track it is sup- { posed he either attempted to jump or ■ was thrown off tho engine. His re- j mains were brought hero on Friday i and interred on Saturday. Ho had I been employed on the Broad Top Rail road for some years, served in the j nine months service, and was much es teemed. His loss is deeply felt by his aged parents, brethren and sisters, who have the heartfelt sympathy of the community with them, lie was about years of age. ITEMS. —A passenger car is now running on the new railroad as far as Yeagertown. A tine deer was killed a few miles up the river last week, and several bear have already been cap tured on Shade mountain. John dinger, formerly of this county, was killed in Cambria county last month, by a wagon running over him. The weather, which had been rather pleas ant during the past month, set in with heavy rains on Thursday night, fol lowed by stormy winds on Friday, which divested nearly all the trees of their remaining foliage.

EXPERIENCE IN PAVING.—A strip of , pavement about 70 feet in length on Third street, not half as bad as some owned by the borough fathers, and of no use to us but a good deal to the public schools and the public gen j orally, we concluded to lay some weeks ago for their benefit. One would natu ; rally suppose that an improvement of : this kind would be appreciated by the children, as well as others, and afford them pleasure to further its consum mation. Our experience however is ; different, and our advice to all is notxo 7 \ I lay a pavement hereafter for the ac commodation of such well, just give them whatever name suits best. | Our workman was continually subjeet ! Ed to every annoyance that any set of young devils could have devised—un mannerly taunts—sand thrown about —guards broke down—grade three times destroyed—and finally an entire course of 121 bricks wantonly kicked out of place. Its completion was thus delayed until after the heavy rain of last week, at which time the guard boards were broken down at each end and the whole pack had fine fun in stamping down bricks into the wet sand, and thus making an uneven walk, ft cost us nearly SSO; we make no complaint, but we will see all the schools in this neighborhood in Jericho before, we lay another brick for their accommodation, unless compelled by law. Dirt and mud holes evidently suit them best— let them have their idols.

Dispatches from General Grant, re ceived this evening, inform the Depart ment that an advance in force, for the purpose of a reconnoissance, was made yesterday by Warren and Hancock. In the evening the enemy attacked Hancock vigorously, but were re pulsed. The purpose being accomplished, the troops were withdrawn from the ad vanced position to which they hud been pushed nearer to their line ol former occupation. The telegrams of General Grant give all the details re ceive!. CITY POINT, Oct. 28, 8 p. m. lion. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War: I have just returned from the cross ing of the Boydtown plank road with Hatcher's creek. Our line now ex- j tends from its former left to Armstrong's mill, thence by the south bank of Hatcher's creek to the point above named. At every point the enemy was found to be intrenched and his works manned. No attack was made during the day further than to drive the pickets and cavalry inside of the main work. Our casualties have been light, probably less than two hundred killed, wounded and missing. The same is probably true with the enemy. We captured, however, seven loaded teams on their way from Stony creek to the enemy, about a dozen beef cattle, a traveling forge, and 7o to lUO prisoners. On our right Butler extended around well toward the Yorktown road, with out finding a point unguarded. I shall keep our troops out where they are uutii towards DOOM tomorrow, i in hopes of inviting an attack. U. 8. GRANT, Lieut. Gen. CITY POINT, Oct. 28 .—Hon. E At. Stanton, Secretary of 11W: —The attack on Gen. Hancock proved to be a deci dcu failure. He repulsed the enemy, and remained in his position, holding possession of the field until midmight, when he commenced withdrawing. Orders had been given for the with* dravval ot the 2d Corps before the at tack was made. We lost no prisoners except the usual stragglers who are always picked up. Our captures for the day on the south side foot up to 910. 1 The rebel General Bearing is report ed killed. Gen. Meade, in his report, 333-8: "1 am induced to believe the success of the operation, which was most de cided, was mainly due to the personal exertions of Major Gen. Hancock and the conspicuous gallantry of Bri". Gen. Egan." U. 8. GRANT, Lieut. Gen. Reports from Gen. Sherman's de partment to six o'clock this evening, indicate that the rebel army is again threatening demonstrations towards : Tennessee—but there is no reason to doubt that Sherman and Thomas will be tbund prepared tor whatever move ment may take place. Ihe reports from Missouri and Ar kansas concur in stating the defeat of Price with heavy loss. E. M. STANTON, Sec'y. of War. ABOLITIONISM IN THE SOUIH. The Cry of "Nigger War" Played Out!

These mutes will he convertible nt the option of iho holder m maturity, into six per cent, gold bearing t onds. payable n.t less than five nor tnore than twen ty years from their date, as the government tony qleet. 1 hey will Is,, issued in denominations of ifo'Cf 100.8500 tl.'t 0 and s.>ooo, and all subseriptiona must lC for fifty j dollars or some multiple of fifty dollars. 1 he notes will be transmitted to the owners free of transportation charges as soon after the receipt of ; the original Certificates of Deposit ns (hey can be pve | pared. As the notes draw interest from August 15, persons making deposits subsequent to that ,ia*e ntnst pay the interest accrued from date of note to date of de posit. Parties depositing twenty-five thousand dollars and | upwards for these notes at any one time, will be al | lowed a commission of one quarter of one per cent, I which will be paid by the Treasury Department upon the receipt of a bill for the amount, certified to by the j officer with whom the deposit was made. No define | tions for commissions must be made frotn the do j posits. SPECIAL ADVANTAGES UF THIS LOAN. IT IS A NATIONAL BA VINOS BANK, offering a liigherfate of interest than any other, and the beet fertility. Any savings bank which pays its depositors in U. S. notes, considers that it is pay ing m the best circulating me dium in the country, and it cannot pay in anything better, for its own assets are either in government securities or in uotesor bonds payable in government | paper. ! It is equally convenient as a temporary or perma- I nent investment. The notes eau always he sold for j within a fraction of their face and accumulated mter | est, and are the best security with battle; as collaterals j for discounts. | Convertible into a 6 per rent. S-!0 Bond. j In addition to the very liberal interest on tlie notes i for three years, this privilege of conversion is now j worth about three per cent, per annum, for the ctir ! rent rate for 5-20 Bonds is not less than nine per cent. i premium, and before the war the premium on six per ' cent. U. S. stocks was over twenty per cetit. It will l.e seen that the actual profit on this loan, at the pres ent market rate, is not less than ten per cent, per mi lium. ! lis Excmplion from State or .Municipal Tax ation. But aside frotn all the advantages we have enumer ated, a special Aet of Congress exempts all bonds ami Treasury notes from local taxation. On the average, this exemption is worth about two per cent, por nu llum, according to the rate of taxation in various parts of the country. It is believed that no securities offer so great in ducements to lenders as those issued by the govern ment. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of private parties, or stock companies, or separate communities, only, is pledged for payment, while the whole property of the country is held to se cure the discbarge of all the obligations of the United States. While the government offers the most liberal terms for its loans, it believes that the very strongest appeal w ill be to the loyalty and patriotism of the people. Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits. The party depositing must endorse upon the original •certificate the denomination of the notes required, and whether they are to be issued in blank or paya ble to order. When so endorsed it must be left with the officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded to the Treasury Department. SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BE RECEIVED bv the Treasurer of the United States, at Washington, the several Assist untTreasurersand designated Depositories,and by the First National Bank of Pbiladflpiiia, Pa. !
