an A Shavino Operation. On Monday morning Mmn Crihne.

After examining them for some time, she requested that a Personal. On Wednesday afternoon we had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of J.

Oa repair ing to the office they were informed they stood oharged with a violation of the Sunday Laws of this State in keeping their shops open on that day. They all acknowledged the corn, and two' of them, Messrs. Shorter and Pleasant dusted up" the rino," paid their fines and the coBts, amounting to over four dollars each, and were discharged. Messrs.

Nesbit and Ambrose were not so willing to "chalk vip," nnd iuL'matcd their intention of appealing from the decision of the Justice and carrying the matter 'ip to Court to test the validity of the fine. Even should they be successful in Court, which we very much doubt, it will cost them more than tho amount of the fine imposed, which is oertainly lawful. Pennsylvania Railroad Earnings. Below, we give the official statement of the earnings of the Pennsylvania Railroad, for the month of July, as well as for the seven months ending August 1st.

The late hour at which wc received the advertisement of our young friend, Alex.

F. McKinney, prevented us from noticing it editorially, last week, We take pleasure in culling the attention of our readers to it this week, and recommend Alex, as a proper person to whom to entrust the businesswhich he proposes to transact for those who may re-qure bis services. Nebraska is bound to be a flourishing state and Omaha a large city, consequently investments in that vicinity must pay. Let those who hold land warrants or who wish to invest in western hinds send on their documents to Alex, and he will attend to them better, perhaps, than most of thorn could do themselves. Handsome Painting A few evenings since, our young friend, P.

Walsh, exhibited to us a number of specimens of his paintings in imitation of oak, maple and other kinds of wood, finished up iu styles for door pannols, halls, parlors, which for beauty of design and skill in execution we have seldom seen surpassed. Walsh is a good painter, as tho numerous pieces pf work he has finished in this place will attest, and we are pleased to know that he is liberally patronized. Let those who wish fancy painting executed, drop into his establishment and view his samples, and wo have no doubt they will domaud his services "instanter." Cut this out and stick it in your Hat.

On Monday of last week an inmate of our County Alms House, named Henry McCauly, aged about 08 years, attempted to commit suicide by opening veins or arteries in his arms and legs. In the effort he made no less than twenty-seven incisions, some of them half an inch deep and an inch-and-a-half long. He had gone out from the house, as ho was accustomed to do, in the afternoon, and remained out over night, and was not discovered until next morning.

His mind is evidently deranged. He says he did not mean to kill himself, but inflicted the wounds to relieve a pain in his head. Register. Writing School. Mr.

The Camp Meeting now in progress in Black's Grove, on the Branch Road between this place and Hollidays-burg, has thus far been well attended. Every train running from this station to the ground, lias been well filled with passengers. On Sun day morning last, there were thirteen cars in the train, all crowded to their utmost capacity. Over seven hundred tickets were sold at the of fice in this place, for the morning train, and quite a number paid their fare on the cars. It Is supposed there were over one thousand persons on the train.

Over five hundred tickets were sold at the Hollidaysburg ticket office on that morning. The train made four trips be-tweon each station and the camp ground during the day, and was well filled each time. The camp is located on good ground in a very pleasant grove, the only draw back on which is the absence of water. A good supply, however, is furnished by persons engaged to haul it. During the morning services, every seat on tho ground appeared to be taken up, and good nrdcr was observed.

At 1 o'clock, Eev. Dr. Riley, of Pittsburg, delivered one of the most beautiful discourses to which it has ever been our good fortuno to listen. The Dr. is a powerful logician, a finished orator, a ripe scholar, and bids fair to mako one of the most eminent aud useful divines in our country.

His effort on Sabbath would looso nofhiug by comparison with those of Spurgeon, the London sensation" preacher. Wo observed a now feature introduced by a number of those in attendance at the Camp on Sunday, suggested, we presume, by the diificul-ty heretofore experienced in obtaining eatables at the Camp Meetings at Tipton and Bell's Mills, which wo considered a very judicious precaution against like failures on this occasion we refer to tho introduction of the practice of carrying a basketful or pocketful along. Vie have no doubt that many would liavo went hungry all day had they not been thus provided. Although there were three or four boarding tents on the ground, the rush was so (Treat nt all of them Hint it was almost impossible to get a seat at the table, and the rates of faro were so high that many persons could not afford to pay, even should they have been nblc to obtained a seat, In all directions around the camp wc observed parties of from three to dozen sitting around log, stump or a clotli spread on the ground, partaking of their repast, reminding us very much of the celebration on the 5tU of July. The feature is a good one nnd wo hope to see it universally adopted.

It will relievo the tent holders of a heavy cliurge, as it is impossible for thorn to feed all their friends who may be on tho ground, even though they might feel willing to do so. Good order prevailed upon the ground throughout the day nnd evening. In fact, wo do not remember of ever having attended a Camp Meeting nt which there was better order observed. Tho only confusion or disturbance we noticed Was occasioned about nine o'clock in the evening, when, oiving to a misunderstanding as to the time the train would leave the camp for Al-toona, that part of tho congregation from this place rose up and left the ground, on healing the whistle of the locomotive, while the minister was yet speaking. According to the arrangement, the vfill break up to-morrow morning.

Distressing Accident. Wc arc this week ogain called upon to chronicle one of those heart-sickening, blood-crudling accidents, which, although common to all localities traversed by railroads, and whoso frequent occurrence arc calculated to render us canon's as to their magnitude nnd teachings, are none the less shocking to our mind aud we can not contemplate them without a shudder. Tho facts in the present case arc as follows: On Sunday evening last, us tho locomotive which had pushed the Emigrant Train up tho mountain, was returning to this station, when near Kittanning Point, tho engineer observed something lying on the track which ho mistook for a coat, but which, on approaching nearer, he found to be a man lying between the crossties, the ballast at that place being low and allowing the body to be almost hid between the tics. He immediately reversed his engine and the fireman applied the breaks, but could not cheek it uutil the driving wheels had passed over the object. On examination it was found to be a man, nnd that his head had been almost severed from his body, it having evidently boon lying on the rail.

Information of the accidout was given to several persons residing in the vicinity who came to tho spot and assisted in placing the corps upon tho engine on Which it was brought to this place and placed in tho warehouso of the Company. Upon inquiry the body was found to be that of Cornelius Maher, a miner at the ore bank of Hutchison on the mountain above this place. On Monday afternoon, Coroner Funk held an inquest on the body. A number of the witnesses who had seen and conversed with the deceased a few minutes previous to the accident, testified that he was under the influence of liquor, and it is supposed that he either fell between the ties and was unable to get up or that he sat down and fell asleep. What a lesson to those who are in the habit of using intoxicating liquors.

Will it be heeded A verdict in accordance with the above facts was rendered by the jury, entirely exculpating the engineer from any blame in the matter. The corpse was given in charge of Mr. Geo. B. Cramer, who had it placed iu a coffin and decently interred in the Catholic graveyard, on Monday afternoon.

The deceased leaves a wife aud four children to mourn their loss. Your Attention to To have a Cough or Cold with a continual pain in the breast, spitting of mucous and phlegm from the breast and lungs, is truly very annoying and besides being annoying, are usually the precursors of deep seated bronchial disease, which eventually undername the constitution and destroy life.

couple of pair which she had selected should be laid to one side and she would call and get them at another time. Whon the clerk (who by tho way is a pretty sharp one) was putting up the shoes, he observed that one pair, which the lady had examined particularly, and which bore a peculiar cost mark, was missing. Ho immediately suspected that they were in the lady's ear-pet sack, which was lying on the floor, but ho said nothing about it, and proceeded to show her some dry goods for which she had asked. While she was examining these, the clerk slipped round the counter, and watching a favorable opportunity, tread upon the sack. Tho screeching of the new leather confirmed his suspicions, whereupon he picked up tho saok and carried it behind the counter.

After the lady had made her selections from the dry goods and was about departing, sho looked around for her sack and not finding it, asked the clerk if he had seen it. He informed her that he had, but as she had attempted to steal the Bhoes, ho, in turn, had stolen both shoes and carpet sack. The fact that she had been detected at once flashed upon her and she gave vent to her mortification in a copious shower of tears. She plead guilty of the offence, and offered many excuses in extenuation, which were found to be false, nnd which only made the matter worse. She gave in different names and places of residence, but finally her real name was ascertained from another lady who entered the store at the time.

Emboldened by having detected her on this occasion, the clerk charged her with pur-loiuing four pair of bracelets from the store, some four weeks Bince. Sho denied having ta ken the bracelets, but confessed that Bhe was sn accessory, and gave tho name of the person who had taken them and also what disposition had been made of them. After lecturing her for some time on the crime and consequences of such conduct, the clerk agreed to compromise the matter, on her promising to return in one week and pay for all that had been taken. We think this should prove a lesson to the young and it is hoped will cure her of her pro pensity to appropriate trifles, as we can assure her she will not escape so easily another time. She is hardly shnrp enough to perform such operations successfully.

We have withheld names this time in the hope that the lady may be reclaimed from the error of her ways, but should the not be repented wo will give full particulars, in order that storekeepers may keep a watch on her movements. Up. The frame work of the fine building being creotcd by Messrs. Lowthcr I'lack, on the corner of Virginia nnd Annie streets, is now up and we con form some idea of its dimensions. There will be three large store rooms on the first floor two fronting on Annie street and one Virginia street.

Two of the rooms will bo occupied by the firm erecting the building ono for dry goods alone and tho other for groceries, hardware, Tho other room wo believe is to be occupied by our young friend A. Roush, as a drug store. The entire second story is to be fitted up for a Town Hall, nnd a most excellent one it will make, equal, we believe, to any Hall in the country. We are pleased to announce this fact, as such a- room has long hen needed in this and wc feel sure that under the management of Messrs. Lowther l'laek it will be properly conducted.

The parsonage being orceted for Rev J. Twiggs, Pastor of the Catholic church in th's place, on the lot adjoining the church is also under roof. It is a fine large building and will add materially to the nppcirancc of that part of the town. The parsonage and school house being erected by the Protestant Episcopal congregation in this place, on their lot in East Altoona, arc also under roof. They are line brick buildings, and although yet unfinished, externally, add much to tho appearance of the town in that locality.

Workmen are now engaged in cutting stone for the church to be erected on the same lot, which, when finished, will bo tho handsomest in the place. It is to bo built of cut atone, in the ancient style of architecture. Other improvements are in progress which we shall note again. Lin el Suit. We learn that Cnpt.

Bell, editor of the Tyrone Star, has sued Traugh, of the Standard, for libel, aud that the latter has been bound over in the sum of $G00, to answer at the next sitting of the Quarter Sessions of this county. Wc think the practice of carrying up such cases to Court iu order to establish a character or good reputation, oftencr results adversely than otherwise at least nothing can be gained by it. When we hear of persons going to law to establish their character, we always think of the reply of an honest blacksmith to a friend who was urging him to prosecute a person who had been traducing his character, ''No, sir," said the blacksmith, I will take my hammer and go to work and forge out for myself a better character in one month, than all the Courts of justice could give mo in a lifetime." We commend this to the attention of our friend of the Star, and suggest that there were peacable means through which he could have obtained redress for the wrong done him, which would have been more effectual. Fettinqer's Improvements. Wo notice that Fettingcr, of the No.

1 Literary Emporium, has recently had the front of his store improved by the erection of a new stoop, with railing, nnd the application of the paint brush to the front of the building. It now prevents a very neat appearance. His stock inside also looks remarkably well. Ho has on hand a large assortment of beautiful pictures, suited to all tastes, with plain and gilt frames to match. His stock of notions is complete and in the newspaper and periodical line he can supply you with almost anything you may desire.
