NEW PAPER.-We have received the
first number of 1.-THE Allegheny Tribune"

The proprietors are Mr.. Everett Donaghe,
who has made many friends by his enter
prise and perseverance in attempting to
establish a journal at Waynesboro, and
Mr.. W. FL. Fl. Frenger, practical printer,
and former officer Of the U. S. Revenue

the new paper has met with a fattering
reception, and if the people of that Sec
ton want public attention drawn to their
county town and the mineral resources Of
the land, they will find it to their interest
to continue to give it generous support
