J LI ii. . TjlO Alio yiUHSDAY:::::::::::: DECEMBER 8. Ilocaiaand personal. To out Patrons. Complaints have 't vliel us from various quarters, to the frcd, that ome of our subscribers are not in ru!ar receipt of their papers, and a few 0..l have intimated that the fault is i f ih u. Xow we assure our friends, and .-cially those residing': in the country, i jiat wo are not to blame in this matter. j u:ni"Ji;itely ai'tcr each number is issued, I L I ! 1 t J A 1 i t j uuiiMiers paeh. up, uirect, ana con- .y to the Post Office, the paper of every I subscriber, and this certainly is all jat uur friends have any reason to ex ; . rt from them. So far as our town sub i irihtrs are concerned, we believe that, in i future, they will have no reason for com- f u . i x... p.uni-. v7ax i-.iiin-i n uun juumiar wnn jjiu all, and with their places of resi st nee, and we doubt not will take care tht they are faithfully supplied. Should be mistaken in this, however, we will tt ink our friends to give us notice of eve ry untauce in which they tail to receive tih ir papers. To get the departments of C newspaper and priuting establishment il good working order requires some time. Our friends must, therefore, excuse any l:le delinquency on our part that may ,oe u-ionaUy happen, when we assure them tl.it our object is, at all times, to do the fair thing witli them. Jlr is iif.ek.-Yes, it is here. Winter' wrh all its gloominess, its storms and its pta-ures, has come at last. There are rif uy who dread the coming of Winter. S h persons are in the constant habit of to kin- upon the dark, side of the picture. Tl. v live only in sunshine life affords it no pleasure unless all is prosperous wv'n them. They forget that we need a Bjr-'ia fur reflection and improvement. A :.-r the labors of Summer and Autumn, tlj rest that Winter affords reinvigorates tJy- .-jtem, and fits it fur the duties of the cqulii.g Spring and Summer. But the gf :tt advantage Winter has over all other salons is, that it affords time to improve tn mind. During the long evenings, a stj.e f knowledge may be acquired from hi k, that will be of i:ivaluuble service in afj r life. We therefore say to our young rl rs, get books if you cannot buy tttiai, borrow and spend your long even- inp i; roiling at home, and our word for itj'.y the opening of Spring you will find 8 h a course much better than that of wi ting your precious time in sleih-ri-4 . . "- atti' and nivrrv-inakmL'. .-3 fi'iiAT Mi;r l'eiir.E.

When we thus spp ' the matter, we did so at the re- qf'-'t ot several of our citizens, as well as a a s -j rise of our owu duty.

Peterson & TV: 'j should preclude the possibility of thinking they are not able so to J ur five dollars you will receive the series, or single numbers for twen- cents. Attending Church. Of all the vari etics of music in this world, surely there is none which can bo compared to that which proceeds from the belfry of your own church on a fine Sabbath morning To the sensitive mind, nothing can be more eloquent, nothing more captivating It awakens the most pleasing recollections. and carries us back to the scenes of our early youth to those bright sunny Sab baths, when, decked in our best bib and tucker, we marched off to church to the same mysterious yet touching notes, gui ded perchance by the hand of a dear but now departed mother. It may be we have heard the old bell toll the funeral dirge of many a near and dear relative aud friend, yet are its tones none the less me lodious when they summon us to the sa cred fane to listen to the blessed language of hope aud consolation. Yes, there is music in the old church-bell, and when it calls us to church on the Sabbath, we should go or have a good excuse for not going. TriE Weatiiek. During the present week, we have been favored with almost every sort of weather that is down in the bills, excepting, perhaps, fine weather. We had sleighing on Monday ; on Tues day, a very refreshing rain caused the snow to disappear with a rush, with the effect of resolving the streets into one vast mud-puddle; and on Wednesday, snow, sleet and rain contended for the superior ity. As a consequence, our town docs not present so busy an appearance as it gen erally docs on Court-week. But, as au in demnity for these drawbacks, strangers can still have the satisfaction of knowing that, by calling around at our sanctum and subscribing for The AUeghanian, they will experience a pleasure to which, perhaps, they have been strangers for many a day. This is the testimony cf those who have had experience in the matter, and you have only to try it on to be convinced. New Adveht.semnets. Owing to the lateness of the advertisement coming to hand last week, we were unable to notice editorially the fajt of the dissolution of the partnershipheretofore existing between Messrs. Johns'.ou & Mulliu, in the prae of the law. Their individual cards will be found in to-day's paper. The card of George M. Riddle, (for merly of this county,) at present engaged in selliug goods at the establishment of Riddle, Gill & Co., Philadelphia, was also inserted last week. The attention of those of our fanners who are in need of Harness, Saddles, Bri dles, &c, is directed to the advertisement of James Maguirc. He is prepared to accommodate the public on very reasona ble terms. 11 Glass, Esq., requests those who are indebted to him to pay up, and thereby save costs. See to it. Examine the Tin-ware advertisement of J. & II. Ilerrington. They are prepared to fill orders for any quantity of their wares, and on easy terms. See notice of I. S. Bolsinger's ''Good Samaritan Drug Store," Johnstown, Pa. Defacing Handbills. There is a species of vandalism indulged in by some of the members of our community that is as senseless as it is disgusting we mean the practice of tearing down and defacing handbills or other notices that are pasted up for the benefit of the public. We can not imagine what impulse actuates those who can be guilty of such a despicable ac tion. It cannot be fun and we must set it down then as the innate desire of their wicked and rebellious hearts to do wrong. It may be possible that those who indulge in the pastime are not aware of the fact that a heavy fine can be imposed on them if camrht in the act but it is even so. O We do hope, for the credit of our town, for our reputation as law-abidiug and peaceable citizens, that the practice will in future be discontinued. Peterson's Counterfeit Detector. The December number of this reliable Detector has been received by us. It is corrected monthly by the well known firm of Drexel & Co.

HETIEEMEXT AND INSTALLATION. T. L. Heyer, Esq., who for the term of six years held the position of District At torney in this county, retired on Monday last, and on his motion, Philip S. Noon, Esq., lately elect, was duly installed, and entered upon the duties of the'office. Mr. Heyer, in retiring, has the thanks of the people of the county for the promptness and consummate ability with which he, during his long career, discharged the arduous duties which were his. Mr. Noon, although comparatively a young member of the Bar, has already acquired a reputation for legal learning and abili ty which places him in the front ranks of the profession , Since entering upon the duties of his office, he has already prose cuted several cases on behalf of the Com monwealth, in a manner that proves him to be well worthy of the position in which the people have placed him. Sworn In. On Monday last, Gen. Jo seph M'Donald, having taken the oath prescribed, entered upon his third term as Prothonatary and Clerk of the Courts of this county. The rare official ability and promptitude which the General has hith erto displayed, afford au ample guaranty that, during the coming three years, the offices will be well filled. He and his clerk, R. A. M'Coy, Esq., are both gentle men and scholars, and always courteous and accommodating to the Bar and to the Public. Mr. Jones' Lecture. We merely men tioned in our last number that U. J. Jones, Esq., of Hollidaysburg, had delivered a lecture in this place ca Wednesday even ing of last week. We now state that we had the pleasure of being of the audience, and although we differ somewhat from some of the views advanced by Mr. Jones, yet taken as a whole, we regard bid lecture as one of the best we have listened to for many a day. It was of a truth a rare in tellectual treat. Lyceum. The following question has been selected for discussion at the Lyceum on next Friday night : Jlinoh f, That the types of mankind are JIs-tiin-tive and permanent. It may be interesting to our readers to know that the question discussed by this society 011 last Friday night, as to wheth er PlaintiiT and Defendants should be allowed to give testimony, was decided in favor of the7affirniative. Look Out, Gals. The following item which we clip from the Bellefoute Watch man, fully explains itself. Gals, don't all speak at occo ! ''The senior editor intends taking a trip to Pittsburg next week, and on his return expects to tke by the hand his old fiiouds at Blairsville, Ebensburg and Hollidaysburg. He will be accom panied by an old friend. Look out, ye gals, ye are not captivated." A Mistake Somewhere. We learn from the Tribune, that Mrs. Beam, the lady whom we noticed in our paper some weeks ago as having been suspected of eloping with Constable Kemercr, of Mill ville borough, returned to her home last week. She denies any knowledge of the affair, but fails to give a satisfactory ac count of her own whereabouts during her absence. Daguerrean Artist. E. R. Lewis, the celebrated artist, is in town. Those who are disposed to "secure the shadow ere the substance fades," should certainly give him a call, as he has carved for him self the reputation of being the best "pic-ture-taker" in the county, lie can be consulted, for this week only, at his rooms, above Evans & Son's store. Godey's Ladys' Book. The January number of the inimitable Godey is on our table. With the commencement of the new year, he issues a magazine that, for usefulness and instruction, cheapness and elegance, is uuapproachable.
