The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-08-08

Hot Last Friday was the hottest
day Of the season. Thursday and Satur-
day were warm enough, but Friday was
several degrees ahead, the thermometer
ranging throughout the day at from 950
to 1902 in the shaded Since then we
have been favored with several rains,
which have had the effect of slightly cool
ing the upward tendency of the mercury.
Our general advice to our readers is this
while the dog-star RACES, drink nothing
more stimulating than lemonade, with or
without ay,) eat nothing stronger than
good fat beef, go not into the SUMS rays
without hat, cap, havelock or bandana
on your head, don't get excited, and, as
you value un-wilted chokers and the like,
take no more violent exercise than an oc-
casional trip on the light fantastic or a
bout with delinquent debtors. In other
words, do pretty much as you please, and
please us accordingly.
CAUTION TO MoTHERs.-It is a very
common thing to see mothers and servant
girls pushing along the sidewalks the lit
tie carriages in which they are giving in
fants an airing on pleasant days. An
exchange remarks that the practice is a
very dangerous one, and is liable to do
great and permanent injury to the child.
The position of child riding backward
instead of forward, is an unnatural one,
and directly affects the brain. Some
grown persons even cannot ride backward
in a railroad car without experiencing
sense of faintness, and to expect child
to do what strong adult cannot, is un-
reasonable, to say the least. 1t is believ-
ed by medical writer's that infants have
died from disease produced from being
ridden backward
FERoCIoUs CUsToMER.-On Monday
evening, fellow named Thomas Gordon,
who holds forth in Johnstown, after put
ting himself outside of large and we'll
selected load of boomerang whisky. became
riproarious and pugnacious. Following
the inclination of the spirit, (no pun in
tended he smashed in several taverns,
committed anumber of aggravated assaults
and batteries, and ended by being knocked
down and dragged off to the lookup. On
the following Wednesday Constable Gage
by started with the prisoner for this place
to commit him to Jail, but he succeeded il
escaping on the road. A reward of ten
dollars is offered for his re-arrest Mr..
Gordon should be looked up, by all means.
How TO ACT SHOULD Your DRESS
CATCH FIRE.-Ladies should, whenever
they are so unfortunate as to hare their
dress upon them take fire, fall PROSTATE
and roll upon the fame. An assistant
then can smother it with table-cloth,
piece of carpet, or even with any kind of
clothing which may be at hand. If the
lady stand erect, the fame will ascend
rapidly and encircle her face and head
and she will breathe in the fame, to the
destruction of her lungs and life. In such
cases, it is almost useless to battle with the
fire with the hands
THE TRUTH.-If there is one thing in
which man should be more careful than
in another, it is in the matter OF cleanli-
ness. Cleanliness naturally begets neat
ness, and neatness creates demand for
good clothing. Should any one ask us,
Where must / 60 to purchase n good,
neat, cheap outfit VIC would Immediately
answer, To c. R. Jones', at tho Ebens-
burg Boot and Shoe Store He keeps
everything necessary to rig man out
from top to toe, and his price-list is unex-
ceptionable. Drop in on him.
RETURNED VoLUNTEEs.-On Wednes-
day last, three of the companies from
this county, comprising the Zouave Ca
diets, Johnstown Infantry and the Citizen

town, this county. They were received
by the German Home Guards and large
concourse of relatives and friends. Capt.
Easley's company also returned last week,
being the last of the three months men
who were absent from this county.
