The weather during the past couple' of days lias been extremely cold, tie thermometer ranging somewhere down in the vicinity of zero. The ground i? covered with enow, but not to a sufficient depth to justify aa attempt at eleigh iug mare's the pity. Xoxe in the Least. It is currently reported and generally believed that the editor of the Johnstown Democrat, be sides being a Caiitpbell, is also a very Dumb-bell. If so, and his readers appre ciate sswh a state of affairs, of course we Lave no objection. Bctter. To show the unreasonable ness of the price charged here for butter, it is only necessary to state that whilst the article rules in our market at 25 cents per pound, at Pittsburg it commands onljT from 23 lo 25 cents ! And here the but ter is manufactured at our very doors; there it must be brought from a distance. It strikes us that pur farmers aro slightly exorbitant in their demands. They should come down ' Tuanksgiviso. This ' day was well observed by our citizens. The various business houses remained closed through out the day, and public service was held In tbe different churches. A collection was taken up in the Presbyterian Church in behalf of the Christian Commission, by which the sum of $58.00 was realized.

' Dear AUeg7uznian : I had almost be gun to despair of having our usual repre sentation of criminals at the December term of Court, but our general reputation in this respect, I am sorry to say, is not going to suffer. These remarks are preliminary to an account of one of the most disgrace ful scenes of rowdyism which has occurred here for many a day. A soldier in Capt. Ryckman's company came home on alleged leave of absence a couple of weeks ago, and three or four of his old comrades here concluded to have a jollification in hjnor of his arrival. A sufficient quantity of "lightning whisky" was soon imbibed, and the gay and festive party started on a tour of promiscuous destruction ; lager beer shops and groceries were entered, and whatever the party took a fancy to they appropriated, "without money and without price' varying the amusement occasionally by throwing beer glasses and counter weights. Police officers were non est, and many storekeepers were compelled to close tljeir shops. The party at length got an overload of the "ardent" on board, and -by midnight it was again safe fcr a citizen to walk the street. On Sunday night, the same crowd again assembled, lo finish up their spree. As a grand covp de main they proceeded to the United Brethren Church, where they gave vent to the most obscene language, interrupting the exercises, and even stri king several cf the members who attemp ted to interfere. Leaving the church, theywent to a lager beer shop and de manded admittance. . The proprietor saw fit to allow them to enter, but, as one of the party elegantly expressed it after wards, "they got into the wrong nest" that time. The p.roprieior happened to be entertaining a few of his Oermcn friends with that delectable beverage known as lager, and the rowdies were prevailed upon to make a rapid exit. Lying in wait, however, in au unfrequented part of town, they subsequently caught one of the Germans and beat Iiim unmercifully. About two o'closir on Monday morning, the party appropriated two horses belong ing to two colored draymen,-and two saddles, the property of the Mansion House, and started for parts unknown via the Bedford pike. It is supposed the "tanglefoot" again got the upper hand, inasmuch as they had proceeded but nine miles when they put up the horses in the barn of 31 r. Dunmire, and while three f them lay down to rest after the violent exercise of the evening, the other posted himself on the road as a "picket." It is supposed the "picket" got dry at any rate, a party who had started in pursuit of the ruffians found him plodding his way back to Geistown to get a drink. lie was captured without serious loss, and "com pelled to pilot the officers to the place where his comrades had put up. The entire party were then taken into custody, and brought pack to town, where charges of riot, thieving, assault and battery, &e., were preferred by the 6core. The young men were fined for breaches of the peace, two of them sent to jail to await trial upon the more serious charges, while the other two (soldiers) were sent to the Provost Marsha! at Huntingdon with the additional charge of desertion. It i3 presumed the latter will be handed over to the civil authorities. N. B. Hartzell, a bricklayer of this place, started last week to work at a tun nel, which is being arched with brick, on the line of the new Great Western rail road. Arriving at his destination, he got upon the scaffold to shake-hands with the foreman of the work, Robert Campbell, formeily of this town, when the scaffolding gave way, precipitating the two to the ground "beneath. Mr. ll.'s leg was broke by the fall, while Mr. C. was seriously bruised. The "Union Glee Club" gave a concert in Union Hall on Saturday evening. The attendance was very good, and the vocal and intrumental music pronounced excel lent by all hands. Thanksgiving was pretty generally Ob served by the our citizens," the cheering news from Grant's array serving to stimu late the joy and rejoicing. Snow has been falling at intervals since last evening, and visions of the "merry bells" will doubtless disturb the slumbers of lovers of eleighiug to night. The thought of a fast horpc, a narrow sleigh, etc., is even too much for the imagina tion of" the subscriber; eo, to give full play to fancies concerning what a nice time the ."sweet angel" and I are gojng to have the first sleighing, T will con clude. May Leon. Iy Court , for this county commences on next Monday, 7th inst. - BelsJano, Nov. 27, 1863.. Editor Alleghanian According to ap pointment, the people of Belsano "and vicinity met at the M. EI Church on Thursday, Nov. 26, to celebrate Thanks giving. They came with cheerful coun tenances and glad hearts to respond to the call of our noble President and loyal Governor, to render thanks to the Most High for the continuance -of Hu mercies during the past year. The clay was all that could have been desired clear sky and shining sun. It seemed as if it were a precursor of things to come, when the storm-cloud ot war would speedily pass away, and peace and prosperity once more dawn upon the na tion. After an appropriate sermon by Rev. J. S. Lemjnc0 the appeal of the U. S. Christian Commission was read and commented upon, when a collection was taken up to supply the spiritual and tem poral wants, of our soldiers and sailors. This was heartily responded to by the appreciative audience in a liberal contribu tion of $18.56, which was augmented in the evening to S28. ' . At night, in-conformity with previous arrangement, there was another meeting called in the U. 15. Church, to form a Soldiers' Aid Society. The meeting was called to order by appointing . Col. R. Litzinger, Chairman pro tern. After ear nest addresses by the Chairman and Revs. Lemmon, Baker and Harndon, the ladies promptly proceeded to organize the society by the election of the following officers : , President, Mrs. 'Samuel Reed. Vice President, Mrs. Adam Makin, Rec. and Cor. Secy., Miss Lizzie Todd. Treasurer, Miss Sue EmpSeld: Storekeeper, Mrs, Robert Litzinger. There were also appointed a number of solicitors sufficient to canvass the town ship. This movement is well worthy the head and the heart of those who devised it. The ladies, God bless them ! have taken it in hand, and we are confident they will succeed. Already the contribu tions begin to come in, and we trust there sLa.U be such a large ingathering of the donaiios of the people from the surroun ding com.niunity a3 will make the soldiers' heart glad. "We would suggest that there be such organisations formed in every school district ia ths county, for the one common object of the relief of suffering humanity iu our army. Ulacklick. . (The f'illowiug scrmon-in-brief may appear somewhat incomprehensible to our readers at first blush ; but upon c!osi in spection ye have no doubt its manifold beauties xtA become fully apparent : Listen unto me, ye youth of thi3 village on the inountaia-top, and give ear unto me all ye people thereof. I would speak unto ye concerning things of greatest moment; yen. I would discourse of that which pcrtain eth to no leis a muter than the cure of souls. In times past, have pot the holy ministers of this ancient tillage on the mountain 'top, with solemn voice, with mighty vord3, and importunate pleading, wrestled with ye, yea, even as the angel of God did wrestle with the patriarch Jacob ot Pencil ? How often have ye, O ye fallen children of Vdam, been told of the ways of sin, of the snares of this wicked world, and especially at that hour when the glorious light of day is yielding to the darkness of night which shieldeih so many evil deed3 from the gaze of men? Have not they to whose calling it pertairieth, plead with ye, and rebuked ye, and mourned over ye as Isaiah plead with Israel, a3 Elijah rebuked the sonr of Bal, and as Jeremiah mourned over the chosen nation ? Listen unto me, then, O ye youth of this tillage on the mountain-top, and give ear unto me all ye people thereof. For it ath come to pass in these last days, that the winds of heaven do blow fiercely, that the frost king biteth keenly, yea the pelting rain doth come when the windB be cold. Moreover it hath come to pass in these last days, hat they of whom it is written, "How beautiful upon the mountain are the feet of bim that bringeth good tidingsthat publish eth peace," areborne down with theheat of day when the winter winds blow keenly. Where fore it is, O ye young men, that on the night of that holy day of ministering in gospel things, ye shall have no assembling in the houses of our God; and therefore it if, O ye maidens, that ye shall not move to our holy worship when the Frost King biteth keenly, in the night, unless yc would listen to an un known tODgue which cdifieth ouly those that be pilgrims from! a foreign isle. Therefore it is, O ye young men, that I call upon ye not to stand upon the corners of the street, nor congregate in the highways, nor be seen at any unseemly thing; and that ye, O ye maidens, do act circumspectly, stayiug inside your own houses. For if it be other wise with yc, then the labors of the night while the Frost King is out may be the cause to remove hence they who minister unto us, which would be our loss and their gain. . . .... 7 Phoenix.

Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of the Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge. Although not disposed to favor or recom mend Patent Medicide3 in general, through distrust of their ingredients and effects ; I yet know of no sufficient reasons why ft niari may not testify to the b.enefits he believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others. I do this the more readily in regard to Hoofland's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city, because I was prejadiced against them for many years, under the impression that they were ohieflv an acloholic mixture. I am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker., for the removal of this prejudice by proper tests, and for en couragement, to try them, when suffering from great and long continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and had , almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for directing me to use them. J. SEWTOX'BKOW.Y. Philad'a., Jcse 23, ISO!, a ATTEHTION SOLDIERS !

Jackson Dear Sir: While in Virginia, owing to the chauge of water, I was taken with a severe diarrhoea, which seemed incurable,. and which greatly weakened me. When we reached Martinsburg, I feared that I should have to come home; but noticing some of your Bitters in the store of Mr. IL.H. Price, in that town, I purchased a supply, and on taking it was speedily restored to health. The diarrhoea was quickly checked, and I experienced no return of it. A number of iny comrades who suffered in, the same manner and from the same cause, with whom I shared tin Bitters, jom me in this certificate. I expect to return to the Seat of war with tbe Legion, and I shall certainly take a supply of the Bitters in my knapsack. I would not be without it for its weight in gold, particularly on going into a limestone region. Yours, truly, A. E. ALMEUS; Company H, Scott Legion. BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS!
