reached his home in thisetmntvonlnaBj
evening last,-having been discharged from
the service on account of physical disabhty.

December 20, the German Catholic Church
in Jfollidaysburg was dedicated. The tledi
- catory services were conducted by Bishop
Dominic, assisted by Father Biddle of Pitts
burg and Father Kereher of Altooua.
To Remove Isk Spots. Put the article
stained over a warm fLit-iron, streach it well,
then squeeze a few drops of lemon juice on
it. and the spots will disappear at once.
Wash immediately in water. This is a com
plete remedy, and will satisfy all who may
try it. " .
National Bank at Altoona. The re
quisite stock for the establishment of a Na
tional Bank at Altoona lias been subscribed
and the institution will be opened as soon as
the necessary arrangements can be made.
Wm. M. Lloyd, Esq., has been elected Pre
sident. The New Year. As ISM will have made
its advent ere the Journal will again reach
its readers, we embrace this opportunity to
present to our patrons the congratulations
.of the season wishing them long life, peace
and plenty, and that good-will may prevail
amongst them all their days.
The Wkathlr has heen quite changea
ble during the past week. Several days were
very cold, but on Sunday the air moderated
and some rain fell during the night and on
Monday. The mild air and rain had the ef
fect of taking off most of the snow, which
will retard the hauling of timber.
Metal TrPS. Persons wishim? to econo
mize in clothing their children will do well
to try metai-tipped shoes. Children mvan-
ably wear out their e hoes, at the toe nrst.
Mewl tips never wear out at the toe, and a
pair of tipped shoes at an additional cot ot
a few cents, will more than outwear thro?
pair of the same quality without them.

Broke.Tail. Two deserters, named Kep
Lart and West; "broke out of the jail in this
place on Saturday morning, December -Gth,
having been placed there- for safe-keeping
by Deputy Marshal M'Kiernan. We pre
Mime no one is censurable for the escape of
t he prisoners, as the jail is a very poor affair
nd not sufficiently secure to confine persons
of any description.
THIEVING. The Hollidaysbiirg Register
gives an account of a number of acts of pet
ty thieving in that place, on Sunday night
a-week. James Denniston, Esq., had two
turkies stolen ; Ex-Sheriff Funk was reliev
ed of a barrel of flour ; and and old. crip
pled, colored wood-chopper, named Kcnn-;-ly,
had his only hog stolen. The latter is
taid to be rather a severe "iokc."
FRESHET. Quite a high freshet occurred
in Clarion River and Elk Creek, on the 15th
and lyth Dec,, and much damage was done.
Messrs. Souther &c Willis, near Ride-way,
i Jit between 1200 and 1." 00 logs, and Messrs.
Hoiton, Ely & Co, about 500. Mr. T. B.
Cobb succeeded in running six board rafts

lafis started for the lower markets.

eagerness to place the Democratic party rhiht

which was just what the Union men wanted.
An effort was promptly made by some of
the Democrats to stop it, but it was too late.
Roll was called, and many who would have
voted against raising colored troops on a vi
va voce rote, voted right when they found
thev had to go on the record. Fernando
Wood. Enerh'sh. Stebbins. Perry, Odell and
others voted with Owen Lovejoy and Thad
deus Stevens. Samuel J. Randall voted
for the resolution, with Cox and most of the
Pennsylvania and Western Democrats.
No little abuse has boon heaped upon Cox
bv his friends, who allcce that this step has
done more to divide and destroy their party
than all the action or the-Union men ior
months, and that about one more such a call
would annihilate them.

Letter from Phiiipsburg.
IHiLirsBURG, Penx'a, Dec. 2S, 18G3.
De.r Journal: Here we are in the
midst of the hollidays ; everybody seems gay
and happy. The rising generation are en
joying the recent visit of time-honored San
ta Claus. 1 he boys and girls, a iitue rur
ther advanced, are putting their tj."timoni-
als of love ooo decree neaier the culmina-
tinc point than thev did a vear ago : while
those lovintr swains, who did the same la;
year this time, are now improving the occa
sion to present a testimonial, that proves to
the fair one beyond a doubt, that he intends
to pop the question at an cany day. 1 he
young ladies, that never tret older than twen
ty-five or thirty, and the bachelors, try their
best to look ail right, and assume their youn
gest smile. The young married couple are
pleasantly drifting down the stream or mar
ried lile--those that have celebrated the sil
ver anniversary of their wedding, look com
placently back on the past, enjoy the bright
prospect ot a happv future r.nd receive th
i . . i i-ii
congratulations or their cniiiren : anu tne
venerable pair, that have enjoyed their gol
j keeps "marohm
. -Liu
den wedding, survey the whole procession
on towards that
Lat scene of all, d.
That ends this strnnge eventful historv,
la second chil iishi.ess. and mere oblivion ;
Sans teeth. Bans cyes.aans taste, sans eTorything."
A few days more and the year lS'iSwill
be among the things that were. To the A
merican people it will ever be remembered
as an eventful one. The page of history
wilt glow with the many heroic deeds of our
brave soldiers in defence of the Stars and
.btnpe.s. Ihe hard lougnt and victorious
battle fields of Vicksbuig, Port Hudson,
Gettysburg, Chattanooga, and many more,
are to be set down in the chronicle of 1803.
1 sincerely hope that the coming year, may
date the return of a restored Union, long
ere it has run its annual round.
I see in the column of your contempora
ry, a blank cat-ridge emanating from a pop
gun located at the fortifications of Graham
ton. From the tenor of his squib I would
infer he was a very sympathetic gun, and
the climate of South Carolina would be
much more congenial to his invisibility of
"snaiks." than the pure and loyal atmos
phere of Gralmmton. He seems to be mor
tally wounded at the raid your correspon
dent made on the i'snaiks" of this locality.
From the way he writhes and delivers
himself of his serpentine venom, I would
not doubt much, but what he must be inti
mately connected with the Grand Order of
Copperheads of this vicinitv. Thev are in
want of accessions to the nest, for the prin
CHie of secession beintr one of their nredoni-
lnant ngats, a great many have seceded
since the tnJ.Jctvx r.t the second Tucsdaj's ot
Uetohor la.-f. aid the nest has become as
tonishingly
Smaller by degrees and snaikly less
notwithstanding the homogeneous produc
uon on t-naitcs mat appeared in the same
contemporary, some weeks ago, by the
greatest living serpentine natural hitrioir-
rapher of copperheads, Detrick Exline.
Put poor Detrick, he took a relaose, short
ly after he had left that column and a half
of solid serpent matter off of his gastrome
ter, and has since subsided into the conden
sed occupation of saccharine-semi-molasses
measurer, and superintendent of the yaid
stick. The "pop gun" at Grahauiton is
one of these humane rip-snorters, that is
full of advice, and how generous the bless
ed snake js, he sends me his advice through
the channels of the press. And then, a-
gain. how condescending he is to catch lum-
sei: in ms own oojcrvation. Hold a mo
ment and hear him explode: "Jfe must
drink a. great deal, for irien I .w or hear a
nuiu or big boy, talk so natch about and a
buse his neighbors, I take him trbe about as
bad as they are. "A fellow that never sees
snaiks" be wise in your own eoneeit, will
3"ou ? If I were as well coppered inside and
outside as this fellow is, I would certainly
immigrate to the administration of JefT Da
vis fc Co'a soon to be briny confederacy,
there yield up mv life in promul "ratine the
disloyal lioctnne ol secession, ana finally
stretch hemp without a foot-hold." Believ
ing in the good old rule, that one good turn
deserves another, I would advise this ''a
fellow that never sees snaiks" to dilute his
potions of "'kill at 40 yards" with a very few
drops of essence of corn-cobs. ' You must
have a gold toothpick though, for the par
ticles of cob will get in ihe crevices of your
corn-crackers, and give you a deal of trou
ble. It must be gold, mind you, for the
fundamental interior of your brainless skull
is so heavilv coppered, that anv other nie-
talic toothpick would corrode, and a quill
or piece of wood, would ignite on coming in
contact with the disunion vapor arising from
your platform, mix the two ingredients well,
then add some strvcu.J ana tne dose is com
plete. If, after the dose is down two sec
onds, your friends don t see a dead snaik,
whv take another dose and add a few letters j
of Old Ahe s Emancipation 1 roclamation
one friend of Jeff Davis's less in the pleas-
nt. village of Grahamton, -and. I hone.
there is only this one, that never sees snaiks,
in it. .
I am glad to see the Journal out m a new
uit. It is a good sign that the "runuing of
the machine" is paying at the old rates. I
ve frequently heard it remarked that the
Journal was the best county paper in the
State, and if it was worthy ot that name
prior to getting on the new rig, it has now
entered the degree of decidedly the best.
1 here appears to be a perew loose in your
contemporary, notwithstanding the asser
tion of their Grahauiton correspondent,
'that it is worth more than they pay for it,
and supported by white people,' but they
raise the price ; while you put on a new set
of type and continue the old prices. Long
Jive the Journal, and may its motto ever be
onward.
Good bye thou departed 18C3, and a Hap
py New Year to the patrons of the Journd,
and all the rest of mankind, is the wish of
Leroi.

From Rev. J. Newton Brou. D. D. Editor of
the Encyclopedia of Rttigtovs KncwU.ig
Although cot disposed to favor or reoommen t
Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of
their ingiedionts and effects; I yet know of no
sufficient reasons why a mau may not testify to
the benefits he believes himself to have received
from any simple preparation in the hope that be
may thus contribute to the benefit of others.
I do this the more readily in regard to Hoof
laud's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M.
Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced a
gainst them for many years, under the impres
sion that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture
I am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker,
Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper
tests, and for encouragement to. try them, when
suffering from great UDd long continued debility.
The use of three battles of these Bitters, at the
beginning of the present year, wis followed bv
evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bod
ily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six
months before, and had almost despaired of re
gaining. I therefore thank God. and my frien 1
for directing me to the use of them. -.

ATTENTION, SOLDIERS !
AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS.
We call the attention of all havin? relation .r
friends in the aimy to the faot that '-H'joi-LAxn'n
German Bitters' will eure nine tenths of the dis
eases induced by exposures and privations inci
dent to camp life. . In the lists, published almost
daily in the newspapers, on the arrival of th
sick, it will be ncticcd that a very large propor
tion .are suffering from debility. Every case of
that kind can be readily cured by Hooffand's Ger
man Biiters. diseases resulting from disorders
of the digestive organs are sneediJv removed. H a
have no hesitation in stating that, if these Bittera
were freely used among our soldiers, hundreds of
lives inizht be saved that otherwise will be loa:.
W'e call particular attention to the following re.
markable and well authenticated-oure of one th
nation's haroes, whose life, to use hie own lan
guage, "has ben eived by the Bitters :

Messrs. Jones Evms. Well, centlemen.vour
Hooflaud's German bitters has saved mv lifn
There is no mistake in this. It is vouched for
by numbers of my comrades, some of whose pam
are appended, and who were fully cognisant of
all the circumstances of my cane. I am, and
have been lor the last four years, a member of
Shermsn's celebrated battery, and under tha im
mediate command of Capt. K B. Ay res. Throngb
the expo sure attendant upon my duties, I was
attacked la November last with inflammation of
the lungs, and was for seventy-two days in the
hospital. This was followed by. trreat debilitv.
heightened by an attack of dysentery. I was then
removed from the White House, and sent to this
city on board the Stoaraer "State of Maine, ''from
which I landed on the 23th of June. Since that
time I have been about as low as any one could
be and still retain a spark of vitality. . For a
week or more I was scarcely able to swallow any
thing, and if I did force a morsel down, it was
immediately thrown up again.
I could not even keep a glass of wa,tr on njy
stomach. Life could not last under these circum
stances ; and, accordingly, the physicians who
had been working faithfully, though unntiocosa
fully, to rescue me from th grasp of the dread
Archer, frankly told me they could do no mor
for me, and advised me to sea a clergyman, and
to make such disposition of my limited funds as
best suited me. An acquaintance who visited me
at the hospital, Mr. Frederick Steinborn. of Sixth
below Arch Street, advised me, as a forlorn hope,
to try your Bitters, and kindly procured a bottle..
From the time I commenced taking them th
gloomy shadow of death recoued, and I am now ,
thank God for it. getting better. Though 1 bave
taken but two bottles. I have gained ten pounds,
and I feel sanguine of being permitted to rejoin
my wife and daughter, from whom I have heard
nothing for eighteen months: for. gentlemen I
am a loyal Virginian, from the vicinity of Front
Royal. " To your invaluable Bitters I owe the cer
tainty of life which has taken place of vague fear
to your Bitters win i owe tne glorious privi
lege of again clasping to my bosom thoe who are
dearest to me in life.
Very truly yours", Isaac Maiihe.
We fully concur in tha truth of the above state
ment. as we bad despaired ol seeing our comrade,
Mr. Malone, restored to health.
