Convention of Blair county, held at Hollidaysburg on the 1st inst.; we find that a resolution was "read and unani- mousiy aaoptea to me euec.ma. me 1 . ItJ a ll -il L 1 a j1 uaiu v,onvennuu w.egicw ma i--private business" compels Hon. A. M'Allister, representative lrom this district to Con- gress,to "withdraw from public life." In other words, they regret that Mr. M'A. refuses to become a candidate for notnina tioa and re-election, . iu which case' we are led to" inter he would have been ec statically declared the choice of the Dem ocracy of Dlair county.. Was this resolu- tion onerea ana auopteu as a airect.insuit . rr . . t.l to ILL. JohL8ton,Esq.wfcowas subse- f T I Tcntion ?

During Mouday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and "Friday, 3d, 4th, 5th, Gth aod 7th Oc tober next, the semi-annual meeting of the Cambria County Teachers' Institute will be held at Summitville, one mile from Cresson station, P. RR. It would be well for all teachers throughout the county to be in attendance, inasmuch as there will b? a good corps ef drill-masters and lectu- rcra oa various educational topics present. Daring the sitting of the Institute, an examination of applicants for professional certificates will be held. The applicants U be such, and only such, as hold cer- tificates averaging one and one-half or better. Besides the more usual branches, J tbe examination will embrace the rules for Spelling, Phonetics, Principles of El- ocation, Punctuation, Theory of Teaching, nd Physical and Mathematical Geogra phy. The Cou nty Superintendent is ma king a commsndable effort to increase the Jtaadard of both, provisional and profes sional certificates, and should, in this 'ffort, receive the suDDOrt of all riht- Uiiadcd people. . r OR Congress. 11.

A terrible railroad accident occurred near Beatty's Station, Westmoreland coun ty, last week. The. boiler of engine No. 273 exploded, killing the engineer, CLas. Gahigan, of . this place, J. Jones fireman, and William Walters conductor, both I believe of Pittsburg. Some 500 sheep were also killed by the wreck of the cars. Mr. Gahijran waa n. rerv ' vmT'h w J w J j vuiig man. lie had served in the three and nine months service, and had been pro moted to engineer but a few days before this sad occurrence. Some defect in the mm - macncr-v ot the engine is supposed to have been the cause of the explosion. The remains of the deceased were brought to this place, and interred to-day. Among late departures from our town, I note that of Andy Munson, late iron despatcher of the Mill, and James Quinn, erstwhile military recruitirier a?rent fnr a c: Lambria county. The ' former is now employed as military telegrapher at Broad way Landing, on the James riverr while the latter holds the position of clerk with the Purveyor at Grant's Headquarters. They are both deserving young men, and will adorn any position they are called upon to fill. .. Capt. Morgan M'Donald and Sergt, Ilerd departed to rejoin their regiment, on Thursday last. The Capt. will n'ot be fit for active service for some tim-: The veteran furloughed soldiers of the 54th P. Y. left here for the field again on Friday last. A large number of them donned the hymeneal yoke during their brief stay in town, thus furnishing a dou ble incentive to bring this "cruel war" to a close as soon as possible. Among the marriages was that of Capt. John Suter, of Co. A, 54th P. V., to Miss Emma A. Vickroy, of this place. May happines? be theirs always., The pic-nic for the benefit' of the new Catholic Church came off as per announce ment on Saturday. The weather was very threatening, but the attendance was large, While I am on this subject, I may state that the church is to be dedicated on Sunday, 25th inst. The Biohop of the diocese and fifteen priests have signified their intention of bein present. Tickets of admission will be 50 cente, and stran gers are invited to be present, with' the assurance that the best seats will be se cured for them. As this is without ques tion the finest church in the diocese (out side of the city), it were well worth a visit to Johnstown to see it, and at the same time witness the impressive ceremonies attached (o dedicating a Catholic church to the service of the Almighty. . FROJI OUR SOLDIERS. LETTER FROM CAPT. EITEINGER'S COMPAST BUDGET Of KEWS FROM "TIIE BOYS." ' ' Correspondence of The Alleghanian. Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, SepicmlerW, 18C4. On Friday night, The Alle'jhnnian was received, and attained a high degree of importance and interest. It contained the news "from home," and hence was eagerly sought for, eagerly read and ea gerly listened to by the boys. ' : We arc still unorganized and unfilled, though we have been assigned to the 209th regiment, Col. Kauffman.
