BMI„. 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.
B*SA. Swain has lately added largely
to his stock of confectioneries, letter
and note paper, envelopes, nuts, fruit,
elegant portraits, and a variety of fan
cy articles innumerable. You can't
go amiss in calling at his establishment,
as he has always the best of everything.
fey" I lie Return Judges met again
on I-rid ay last, and after adding the
soldier's vote appointed (J. M. Shull
congressional, \\ m. Ross senatorial,
and J. AI. Bell representative return
judges, to meet on Friday next at the
places appointed by law.
MeKwens' FERROTYPES or GEM
I K'TLRES, as taken at their Car in the
-Diamond, are among the iinest we
have seen, and cannot fail to recom
mend themselves to the public as both
beautiful and cheap. Per dozen, $2.50,

Judge \\ oods requests us to
say that Jurors and Witnesses at No
vember court need not attend until
Wednesday morning of court week, so
that all can exercise their privilege of
voting at the Presidential election be
fore coming here.
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.

WAR NEWS.
Official Despatches.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28, 9 p. m.
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!
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.
The rebel papers received here ap
| pear to be unanimous in favor of arming
| the blacks. The editor of the South
ern Confederate, in writing home to
i his ]wiper from Richmond, says: The
pressure brought upon the blacks has
; been too strong to resist—hence it is
J with gratitude J am able to state otfi
j ciallv. that arrangements are now be
ing made to arm for the spring cam
paign 300,000 slaves, whose masters are
to be compensated by the Confederate
government. The slaves thus armed
are. to have their freedom and fifty
(60) acres of land each, which insures
them permanent homes in the south.
—Just think ot it! a political party
appealing on behalf of its candidates
and its principles to the cowardice of the
j American people ! \V hat an unendura
: ble insult to the bravest race on this
r earth—what fatality in politics, incon
| ceivable if it had not actually happen
ed, incredible if it was not actually
transpiring!
—There is nothing in the history of
impudence to be compared with the
proposition made to the American na
tion by the democrats in the Chicago
convention: "Commit suicide that
slavery may live."

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.

the United States, at Washington, the several Assist
untTreasurersand designated Depositories,and by the
First National Bank of Pbiladflpiiia, Pa.
