Through the kindness of Thomas Col- tlins, Esq., the President of the Company, we have been permitted to publish the a-eport made to the stockholders, at their Lumual meeting, on Monday, the 0th inst. We will remark, in connection", that the " - " - . . . V ... '. J . 1 . V . . .

Prior to the organization, the Commis f'.iWTi named in the act of incorporation se fircl the services of George W. Leuffer, Esq., fi:i engineer of eminent ability, who, assisted y Messrs. Barrett, Noon and Fenlon, made kiie necessary surveys for the road ; reports of thick were laid bt-tore your Hoard and ap- roved of. Your IJoard of Directors, deeming it pru- 2-ut that an interview should be had with J. iljjr Thomson, Esq., President of the Penn vlvauia Rail Road Company, in regard to that C j:n);iuy putting on the superstructure of the flrnm-h road, in the event of its being graded, therefore instructed the President to that ef fect: und he, in company with one of the I'.iK'kholders, called upon Mr. Thomson for i:it purpose. A report of that interview was i:ule Vj the IJoard, and it being satisfactory, fhi-y instructed the Engineer of the Company i advertise for a letting ; and on the 2'Jtu J.itie, 1S5'J, the work from section One to sec tijti Ten. inclusive, was let to a responsible Contractor. 1 The Report of the Engineer, herewith sub mitted, will "how the cost of grading the whole H'-iv : the amount of work done, and the feiouut yet to be accomplished.

Tue Evknt of tue Wkek. The La bans who have marriageable daughters had better reverse the paternal and sensi ble advice given by the venerable Tony AVeller to hia son Samivel, and never say, "bevare of the vidders," but rather of that more dangerous class, namely, the widow ers. In our last issue, we had the pleas ure of announcing the union of the land lord of the "Logan House," to the amiable and accomplished Miss Thomas; but we were compelled to go to press before their return to Ebensburg. The advent of the happy couple was celebrated by the firing of guns, and other like demonstrations of congratulation; but all this was completely thrown in the shade by the performances of the evening, when the whole town seemed to devote itself to the reception of the hospitalities of "mine host." By con sent oi all, the table was most richly laden with all the good things that town or city could supply; everything in the eating line was in profusion; nor did it seem less plenty when all the guests, numbering about one hundred and sevcnty-jivc, were filled to the full. The Ebensburg Brass Band, being present, played some of their choicest airs ; when Isaac and his lovely bride appeared, and bid all welcome. Af ter the banquet was disposed of, a meeting was organized by culling It. L. Johnston, Esq., to the Chair, and appointing Co'. Hasson, Secretary. The President stated the object of the meeting in a few brief and appropriate remarks, and was fol lowed by Col. Hasson, C. D. MurraV, Esq., Dr. Geo. B. Lewis, and others. The cheers which greeted the speak ers as they respectively took their seats, showed plainly that their remarks were very pointed, and told with effect up on the assembled multitude. Mr. Thos M'Brien now complied with the wishes of the party, by singing in his own inimita ble, unapproachable style, "The Salier Boy, just nineteen years of old." Major Osterloh, of IIollida-sburg, followed in the beautiful song entitled "The Bivouac" sung in a style iu which only the Major can sing. Mr. Crawford and lady again made their appearance, when Mr. Barrett sung "The Pope," accompanying it with his guitar almost excelling himself, and bringing down repeated applause from the guests. After several other songs, among which Richard Morgan, Esq., iutroduced his favorite "I told her I would marry her, But never told her when," the company separated, well pleased with the evening's entertainment, and fully im pressed with the opinion that "Isaac" never docs things by halves. Dead Heads. Several of our exchan ges, we perceive, have expressed their determination to hereafter charge for all obituary notices exceeding five lines, at the rate of five cents per line. This will have the effect of considerably abridging the sometimes inconvenient length of such notices, besides giving everybody aa equal chance of having nis virtues blazoned forth after his demise providing he's got the "spelter" to pay for such favor. "A man or woman," it has been observed, "must have lived to little purpose if some friend cannot be found who will invest a trifle in doing honor to departed worth." Yes; and if a man has no friends, he can easi ly make provisions in his will for a "puff." Would it not be a good idea for those ed itors to get up some kind of a printed agreement, binding themselves for and in consideration of the sum received, to give the holder a "complimentary notice" im mediately on his exit from this vale of tears ? They'd sell like hot cakes. With regard to the preparation of these obituary notices, an exchange says it will be taken for granted that this service is concluded in ihe foregoing charge of five cents per line, and presumes that an order for the insertion of such notice will bo something like the following : Mb. Editor : My wife Mary died very sud denly last night. Please make the announce ment, and give her a puff" to the amount of the enclosed dollar. Yours, respectfully, Johx Smith. Bonnets. The Paris correspondent of the Xew York Journal of 'Commerce writes that the winter bonnets are all much lar ger than those worn during the past year; the form is open at the side, and comes forward over the forehead ; the curtain is moderately wide. A mixture of two col ored velvets, or of velvets and satin, is the predominant style ; there are two pairs of strings, one pair very wide of a narrow taffetas, of the same hue as the satin. Black velvet bonnet-? are often edged with white silk, which is covered with a doub le row of blonde ; the ornaments consist of a boquet of black and white flowers, placed on the left side of the bonnet and with a plait of black velvet inside above' the forehead, and a full blonde cap. "What I Love." The following beau tiful lines, from the pen of one of the ac complished daughters of Ebensburg, and written expressly for The Atteghanian, we publish with pleasure : I love the seasons of the year: Oh, how I love the Spring! When little birds, our hearts to cheer, So musically sing. When buds anew begin to swell On every bush and tree ; As if each trying to excel More beauteous to be. I loye the bright clear summer days, When the majestic sun Shines forth with such effulgent rays I love them every one. Autumn I love, though dismal, drear, And leaves all fade and die; Though birds and flowers disappear, And gloomy is the sky. Though winter follows closely on, I dearly love them both : They teach me that I'll soon be gone. As leaves of human growth. Thus heavenward my heart ascends, Like spirits that have fled, Of many dear and loving friends Who slumber with the dead. Though rigid, cold, yet most sublime, Are winter days to me: They point me onward to the time My soul from hence shall flee. Ebe.nsblug, Jan. 11, I860. M. II. C. Sxow Soxg. The following morceau, which we find floating about in the sea of exchanges, will, we are confident, be fully appreciated by those of our readers who are fond of a beautifully conceived, fault lessly versified, and seasonable bit of po etry. It is a gem of purest ray rerene : " 'Tis Winter ! and no more the beese3, Buzz among the budding treescs ; And while boy with ragged trowses, Shivering, homeward drives his cowses, Nearly frost-bit are hi3 toeses, And, bless my life, how cold his nose is !" Oct and In. On Thursday last, Geo. J. Bodgers, Esq., who for two years has faithfully served the people of Cambria county in the arduous aud responsible office of County Treasurer, gave way to his successor, John A. Blair, Esq. It is admitted on all hands that Mr. llodgers made an excellent officer, and we know Mr. Blair will show himself in every way worthy to wear the mantle of his "illus trious predecessor."
