Now liberty has Daught to fear
The land's cmancIpated!
CHonrs-So, high and low and rich and poor,
Throw up your hats in chorus;
Wen have the good old days once more,
With Freedom reigning er Us.
o. Hancock is a soldier brave
Who went through wars undauntedi
The country first he fought to save,
Chorus.
o. Hancock was a gallant lad,
And Pennsylvania bore him.
a nohler son she never had
The world cannot ignore him.
At West Point school he learnt the trade,
For there he graduated
Few soldiers there were better made
Chorus.
The testy Mexican he fought
Beneath the starry banner;
Their tawny lcgiOns well lie taught
Chorus.
And when the gray-clad soldiers met
The boys in blue in battle,
There Hancock, with his bay'net set.
Eyinced true northern mcJtle.
Full long, on fierce and bloody deld,
Hc staunchly bore his ctationi
The Second Corps did never yield
The hOnOrs ef the nation.
Among the nations staunchest sons,
While Gettysburg did thunder.
II e answered with his eighty guns,
And LOn%strcct's corps went under.
Chorus.
Adown the lines while bands did play,
And countless shells were raining,
Before the cmbattled blue and gray
He rode as he were training.
The Second Corps was there, the hinge
That turned the scale of battle,
Else had the nations powers To crtnge-
And with 4 master settle.
Chorus.
For Longstrcct's Yelling lines did surge,
And naught could stand before him;
The Second Corps did counter charge,
Chorus.
At SpottsyIyania. ere the dawn,
He bagged n whole division:
Lee scarcely knew that they were gone,
For fOgs Obscurcd his vision.
And. hours on hours, he fought amain,
To hold what he had taken,
While hOrrid war hcapcd up the slain,
Chorus.
When Mars had thrown aside his shield,
And Peace was rcinstated,
In Southern lands he found a field.
Where hOuCrs on him waited,
Chorus.
Full mildly ruled lie in the land
O'cr CcIucu bold and gritty;
His mind was formed to understand,
As mcrciiul as witty.
Chorus.
He reconstructed all the folks
Down in Louisiana.
And turned the fighting all to jokes
That wasn't a bad plan, ah!
Chorus.
Then rally round our patriot chief.
While stars and stripes float O'er;us;
Our enemies now must come to grief
When Hancock fills the chorus.
So high and low. and rich and poor.
Throw Your hats in chorus:
Wen have the good old days once more
With Freedom rctgEiug DER us.

4 BIC THING FOR CHEST SPRINGs.-After
lll we did not find time this week to construct
the big advertisement announcing the OPEN
ing at Chest Springs Of new store by :. B.
Corn & Co, of Altoona, and which they have
placed in charge of our worthy friend :. VI.
Douglass, Esd, but presume il viii serve the
purpose fully as well to say here that they
have one room filed to repletion with all kind
1f dry goods, dress goods. clothing hats, caps,
Goods ftT IBE-S
oil cloths, etc, while another room Is devoted
exclusively to millinery goods, consisting of
trimmed and ntrimmcd hats for ladies and
fancy goods, silks, satinS, ribbons,
and many other articles in that line, ali of
which VIII be sold for cash at the lowest l.
toona city prices or exchanged for wool,
hides, chickens, butter, eggs, and other mer-
rhantablc produce, for which the highest mar
ket prices will he allowed. This is certainly
q big thing for the people of northeastern
Cambria, and now that they virtually have
Altoona at their doors, 50 far as goods, prices
and the opportunity to dispose of what they
raise are concerned. they should give the new
store a cordial welcome and liberal share OF
their much desired patronage.
