The excellent sleighing wc spoke about
'.is'j week as peculiar to The Mountain is
eo more ! Through the influence of suu
dry protracted rains the latter part of last
week and the beginning of the present,
the snow (of which there was a depth of
eight inches) disappeared with unparallel
ed celerity, leaving behind as token of its
brief existence aa ocean of rain-water,
elush and mud.
Diptheria is said to prevail in the neigh

Kev. J. S. Lemmon, pastor of the M.

pointed Chaplain cf the 209th P. V., de
parted for the scene of his future labors
on Monday. lie carries with him the
prayers and best wishes of this entire
community that he may be successful in
Ms new calling. Chaplains who are sin
cere, capable, and efficient are scarce in
the army Mr. L. will impart a dignity
and character to the calling which will
redeem it from much of the odium in
which it is held, worthily or unworthily,
in the estimation of the public.
It is in contemplation to organize a
literary society in Johnstown.
Tom Adams, the leader of the gang of
outlawed conscripts that took it upon
themselves to defy the authority of the
Government in Clearfield county, last

as formerly a resident of tho northern
part of this county.

its circulation and influence. That's the
way to do it !
The Ilollidaysburg Standard don't like

here Btill retain some tli.jht symptoms of

The Holidays. The Holidays are
coming I Their brave, hearty grasp is on
our lintel. The sound of their footsteps
greet us turn where we may. They peer
at us, aud grin at us, and make comic fa
ces at us through the interstices of a bat
tered, shattered old vear. and blow their
genial breath in our very faces. They are
coming ! Soon they will be with us the
Holidays. Oh ! joy, contentment, and
universal beatitude oh I jollity, heart-
s spellings, and lave ! With us the Hol
idays the haleyon epoch of human bles
sedness and appreciation of that which is
good the brief season when the genii of
Mirth and Love throw the broad ocgis of
their welcome protection around u?, to
shield us from the world's cold storm.
Speed, speed their coming!
It is dark without, aud the North Wind
sighs a requiem over tho bitter desolate
ness of the scene. Gloom sits perched on
the brow of Nature, painting it a funereal
hue. The year is in the throe3 of disso
lution ! With that word, the mind wan
ders back over gren fields along by gur
gling waters to shady bower alive with
fragrance and melody, and asks itself Is
thij the end of all ? blackness and dark
ness, must they come at last to mildew and
wither the fairest scene, the brightest
prospect, the fondest hope, the most exal
ted aspiration ? The conviction couics
unbidden that all things earthly, soever
bright and glowing, must speedily "fade
as a leaf," and then the mind, chameleon
like taking its character from its surroun
ding?, puts on a sombre, misanthropic
gaiment, and wraps itself in unapproach
able austerity. Dark, indeed. But look
ahead ! In the dim distance, a new year
phocoix-like arises from the ashes of its
predecessor, strong, youthful, vigorous,
and taking up the lines from where they
had been dropped by the hand of decrep
itude, springs with a hurrah to the task of
rattling along merrily the wheel of reju
venated Time, liy that token, the impen
etrable clouds of darkness and misanthropy
go rolling back upon themselves, disclo
sing to view i picture fair as the fanciful
creation of a dream, and brimming over
with sweets and high promises. It is the
transformation of Old to New.
Look ahead ! Though darkness may
for a time encompass you, and all about
you appear dismal and gloomy, despair
nut, but look ahead! There comes ever a
transformation. Sooner or later the old
and hideous must give way to the new and
beautiful. First or last, the "silver li
ning" will assert itself. Look ahead, and
know that shadows and thick clouds under
the magic hand of Time must fall as scales
from about your temporal happiness, just
as shadows and thick clouds obscuring
your spiritual pathway are exorcised by
each day's march you make nearer toward
your Home.
But that's a sermon. Sermonizing
avaunt ! The Holidays are coming ! In
view of this fact, we throw up cur cap
the one with the waving plume iu it and
shout: Dum vivimus, viva)ius ! Wash
ington Irving says : "Amidst the general
call to happiness which prevails at this
period, what bosom can remain insensible?
. . . He who can sit down darkling
and repining when all around is joyful,
may have his moments of strong excite
ment and selfish gratification, but- "
living, he still don't lice!
Reader, we wish you a merrie Christ
mas ! Heaven send you mighty appetites,
with much turkey and things to link
thereupon. If you kiss a pretty gill
under the mistletoe, may she kiss you in
return. As long aa your Yule Clog burns,
may your o!d nut-brown punch-bowl con
tinue to give forth its accustomed balmy
incense. During the day, may you bury
Care just outside the door, that you may
tread on him as you go in and out. May
you be happy !
Header, we salute you! In the name
of St. Washael, good genius of Holiday
times, we salute ynu ou either cheek, and
wish you Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year !
A SnocKixa Occurrence. On Fri
day night week, the dwelling-house of
Mrs. Charlotte Yager, in Chest township,
this county, together with itd contents,
was entirely destroyed by fire. The fam
ily succeeded iu making their escape, in
their night clothes, from the flames, with
the exception of a little boy three years
old, who, sad to relate, was burned to
ushes with the building. The fire origi
nated from a defective stovepipe.

Correct the Enrollment I We" beg
to impress upon the minds of our readers
the importance of correcting the enroll
ment list. This list is the basis by which
the apportionment of a district is arrived
at. Take Ebensburg for example : She
has Fay 100 enrolled names on her list,
twenty-five per cent, of which, probably,
would be stricken off on application to the
Provost Marshal. If her apportionment
under a draft should happen to be one in
four, with the enrollment uncorrected her
quota would bo 25 with the enrollment
corrected it would be only 18. . These 18,
to be sure, would be drawn out of a di
minished whole, thus causing the correc
ting the list to assume the dimensions of
a simple problem in proportion, but, then.
with the enrollment uncorrected, twenty-
five per cent, of all the names drawn stand
a reasonable chance of being exempted,
leaving the quota of 25 in reality to be
furnished from a list which in justice
should only be called upon to furnish 18.
These are facts which should commend
th emselves to the serious consideration of
all those "between the ages of twenty and
forty-five." If they allow the quotas of
their respective districts under any com
ing draft to be in excess of what they
should be, it will be their own fault. In
this connection, we refer our readers to
the advertisement in another column of
Pro. Mar. Lloyd relative to the correction
of the enrollment.
T LNDSEY' IMPROVED
JU
BLOOD-SEARCHER I
The Alleoed Frauds on tiie 55th
P. V. Our readers will remember that in
March last, in the State Senate, a commit
tee of investigation made a report charging
Col. Richard White, of the 55th P. V.,
and Capt. David Fox, of Co. A, same reg
iment, (both officers from Cambria coun
ty,) with conduct prejudicial to the ser
vice, in that they defrauded re-enlisting
members of their regiment and new vol
unteers out of bounty money to the
amount of nearly S17,00, and recommen
ding a court of inquiry by the Secretary
of War to investigate the charges prefened.
Pursuaut to this recommendation, a court
martial convened in Carlisle a couple of
weeks ago, when and wherethe conduct
of the Col. and Capt. was exposed to offi
cial scrutiny. The result was that Col.
White waa honorably acquitted of the
charge laid at his door. The finding of
the court martial in the case of Capt. Fox
ha3 not as yet transpired.
Died: At his residence, Ebensburg,
on Wednesday morning, 14th inst., Mr.
William T. Sloan, aged about 38 years.
The deceased was a moit estimable citizen,
and universally loved and respected. If
ever there was a sincere Christian, he was
one. His friends and relatives may sor
row at his untimely taking away, but their
grief cannot but be tempered by the sweet
knowledge that for him this dark, tem
pestuous world of troubles has been ex
changed for a bright and glowing one,
where white-robed angels sweetly siog,
and joy and happiness reign supreme.
"Official." The Dtm. Sent, (not
very good authority,) states that the army
vote cast by Cambria county soldiers at
Hancock station, Virginia, for Lincoln, 21
votes, was counted twice by our Return
J udges. Rectifying this error, the correct
majority for M'Clellan in the county
would be 813, (not 913, as the Bern. &
Sent, has it,) instead of 792.

BLOOD PURIFIER!
Tula meat internal remedy is the best med

equal for all diseases arising from an impure
itate of the blood, such a3 Scrofula or King's
Evil, Scald Head, Tetter. Ring Worm, Female
complaints, aud all break outs on the face or
body The vast number of rub-on medicines
which formerly have been used for those dis
eases were merely temporary in their effects,
and of doubtful virtue, but the RHEUMATIC
COMPOUND reaches the source of all trouble,
and effectually banishes the disease from the
system by its immediate action on the blood.
We advise one and all to give it a trial, .and
become satisfied of its wonderful power.

duty I owe to you and the publio generally to

to pive them n fair trial. I purchased one

that the sale of Sellers' Medicines lias far ex

its efficacious qualities, renders it a universal
