Juhn iBrookbanke, Jr., a young man aed about itighUon years, whoee home U in this p'ace, ju so terribly injured on the New York and Erie railroad, on Thursday night last, itiiat he 2ied in a short time after the accident 'oung Brookbanke was employed In a store -at Driftwood, and in company with his em ployer had been to Erie to purchase goods, aud on their way home both fell asleep in ;the cars. The latter gentleman woke up after laasing his destination and found Mr. Brook lank missing. He telegraphed back when J.e reached the next station, and learned that the unfortunate young man had been Lend on the track near the village of '.Toungbville, with one leg broken and euf Jerbg from internal injuries of a serious na ture. The only recollection Mr. Brook tack, who remained conscious np to the time of his death, had of the occurrence, was that be fell asleep on the train, and in That condition must have walked out of the tars and off the platform, with the result stated. None of the car wheels touched his Jron, his leg having probably been broken 7 the fall, and it is supposed that the lower p of the car platform struck: him in the jtomacb, producing tha internal injuries hich cadged hia death. Alfthat medical id and the kindly ministrations of the good teopl of Youngsville could do failed to save fcis life. One of his brothers reached the cene shortly before his death, and another, Orlando, who brought hia remains home on Saturday night, did not get there till life wa eittnct. His mortal remains were fol ea to the grave in Lloyd cemetery, on Bday afternoon, by a large concourse of Tawing friends. Re was a young man of ce,.ent character and noble impulses, and n s sad and shocking death has caused a P baling of sympathy in this eommuni J7. where he was well known and much Mpected.

" The American Star " will cast Its reful gent rays on the rs paga of next week's Freeman. A twenty-two Inch trout was caught in the Juniata river, near Huntingdon, a few days ago. The body of little Hail Reed, drowned near Salteburg, Indiana county, some three weeks since, was found floating on the water near the place where be fell' in. We welcome to our columns the brief bnt well written letter of our new local corres pondent, "Velo O. Pede." We hope he will come soon again and often. The heaviest frost of the season visited as this (Wednesday) morning, but as it disap peared before the sun reached it, little or no damage has probably resulted. A man named Wilson, employed as a freight conductor in the railroad yard at Altoona, was run over by a train of cars and almost instantly killed on Thursday last. Jacob Clearwater, of Elmira, M. Y.. was run over and terribly maDgled by a train of cars at Milesburg, Centre county, on Wednesday morning, 2d icat. He lived only a few hours Mrs. Mary Amich, aged one hundred and seven years, died on Saturday, May 29th, in Monroe township, Bedford county. What rnigmy events nave tatcen place curing tne lifetime of this old lady ! On Monday nigh t of last week the exten sive foundry of Harvey fe Frederick, at Lock Haven, was almost entirely destroyed by fire, together with valuable patterns, etc. Loss over $40,000, insurance $28,000. They had another incendiary fire in Altoo na on Friday night last. The lumber yard of Mr. - Moore was set on fire and about eight hundred dollars worth of lumber was destroyed before it was discovered and subdued. Dr. D. W. Zeigler will be in Ebensburg on a professional visit during next week, and may be found at his room at the Moun tain House. Any work in the dental line he is fully competent to perform satisfactor ily and at fair prices. Mr. Casper McCarthy, while assisting in raisina; a barn in Cambria township, on Friday last, had one of his legs broken in consequence of a heavy piece of timber fall ing upon it. Dr. Lemmon attended to his injuries and be is now doing vll. Charlea Wiberly, a coal miner, had one of his legs so badly crushed between two care in a coal mine at Pcnn Station, on Monday of la6t week, that amputation bad to be resorted to in order to save hia life. He now bids fair to recover. At a meeting of the Republican County Committee, held at the Court House in this place on Monday last, Alex. Kennedy, Ee., of Johnstown, was chosen delegate to the Republican State Convention, and instructed tj support John W. Geary for Governor. There was a gathering of the Macs in cur effioa on Tuesday. Two Mies brought greenbacks to the third Mac, and two other Mac, who had already done so, came along to witness the ceremony. May the tribe of Macs with greenbacks ever increase, multi ply and prosper. We are nnder obligations to Conductor Quartz for information relative to several items of local interest which appear this week and have heretofore appeared in our paper. Would that a few more of onr friend would take such a lively interest in furnishing like information. A report prevails here this (Wednesday) morniag to the effect that five or six young men. heretofore considered respectable, were arretted in Altoona on Tuesday evening on suspicion of having caused the numerous in cendiary fires in that city. One of them is said to have confessed. We withhold names. A young man named Frank Adams, e!de6t son of our esteemed friend, Wm Adams, E.q., of Conemaugh station, had the misfortune to Lave his right hand sev ered from the arm on Monday last, but how the accident occurred we were unab'e to learn. Young Adams is an enginesr on the P. R. R. Cold and wet weather baa been the rule and sunshine and warmth the exception during the past week. On Sunday night there was considerable fiofet, but re have not learned that it done any noticeable dam age. Fires have not only been a luxury but a necessity in this sweet month of roses balmy June, so called. A man name1 Jeddie E. Lemoine was ar rested in St. Louis, on Friday morning last, on suspicion of being implicated in the rob bery of the Clearfield County National Bank, on the night of the 12th of May last, and has been brought back to Clearfield for trtal. Lemoine had been engaged in the liquor business in St. Louis for some time past. Attention is invited to the card of Messrs. Zahm fc Son, in our paper to-day. They have just opened a mammoth stock of dry goods, groceries, notions etc., at the;r recent ly fitted np and handsome store room on High street, and cuetomers may depend up on receiving their choice from a most beau tiful and ample assortment at very moder ate prices. On Monday last, on motion of TJ. L. Johnston, Esq., Jacob Zimmerman, Esq., of Johnstown, was'admittt-d to the practice of the legal profession iu the several Courts of this county. Mr. Z. Is an intelligent and energetic young man, and as he bas been a close student and apt scholar he cannot fail to become a proficient and able lawyer. We wish him abundant success in the prac tice of his profession. Court has been in session here since Mon day, and the number of attendants thus far has been more than up to the average. We do not know that the destruction of whisky has been more extensive than usual, but if so it must be borne in mind that the Repub lican County Committee was in session on Monday, and that the temperance champion failed to "make the riffle" as delegate to the Republican State Convention. In compliance with request we annonnce the following persons as having drawn pri-ses at a Catholic Fair in Cameron's Bottom. In diana county. May 27th : Bernard M'Meel, Pine tp..

We owe an apology to the young gentle men composing the brass band con nected with St. Francis' College, Loretto. for failing to acknowledge last week the compliment of a serenade given us during a recent risit of the band to onr town. It won Id be base flattery to say that they are proficient musicians, but during the brief time they have been organized they have made wonderful progress, and play exceed ingly well. We had tha pleasure of a visit, on Tues day, from Mr. Enright, of Hollidaysbnrg, who is the patentee of a cook stovo which is said to excel anything of the kind that has thus far been invented. Hf was here for the purpose of having them introduced into this market. Our young friend, Geo. W. Yeager, of Altoona, is a brother-in-Uw and we believe a partner of Mr. E. In the manufacture of this admirable stove. Our leaders will, ere long, hear of IU merit! through car advertising columns: The democratic convention of retnrn judges of Bedford county met on Tuesday of last week and declared the following excel lent ticket nominated, according to the Crawford county system : Tor Prothonotary, John P. Read; Sheriff, William Kisser: Treasurer. Hugh Moore; Commissioner George Elder; Poor Director, Adam K. Pennyl; Auditor. Owen M'Girr ; Coronor, J . B. Butts. The conferees of Bedford coun ty were instructed to vote for J. W. Dick erson, Esq., for State Senator, and W. Scha fer, Esq., for member of the House. A young man named Henry Ehreifelt and a boy named Richard Mcintosh, were severely burned about the face and neck, on Friday evening last, in one of Dysert k Co.s' coal minis, below Lilly's Station, this county. The boy had made, what is called a "spit devil" on the bed of one of the coal trucks and set it on fire, and a spark from it communicated with some powder in a can, through a hole in the bottom, causing an explosion with the result stated. Neither of the parties were dangerously injured, but their escape may iadeed be said to be a mi raculous one. A young lady named Bowers and a lad named Andrew Tuskey, while on their way to this place on Thursday last, were thrown from the horses they were riding near the residence of Mr. Henry O'Hara, in Mun ster township, the animals having taken fright from the sudden uprising of some young cattle by the roadside, and were both considerably injured. The young lady was cut in the head and somewhat bruised about the body, while the boy was very severely mutilated and disfigured in the face in con sequence of his horse tramping upon him. His life was for a time despaired of, but we believe he is now doing well. The yonng lady had a crock of apple butter and the lad had a bag of wool on hia hors. when the accident happened. r A well dressed stranger, apparently la boring nnder an attack of mania-a potu, either got off er was put off the western bound passenger train at Cresson," on Mon day night last, -and went to the Callan House, where he demanded liquor, but was refused, whereupon he left the house and proceeded down the road, and in the neighborhood of Lilly's Station, where he was run over by a freight train and literally cut to pieces, his bead and one cf his legs having been found a quarter of a mile dis tant from each other. As he remarked pre vious to leaving Cresson that lie must go down Grant street, the presumption is that he was from Pittsburg, and a Masonic watch key upon his guard chain bore the name of J. L. Irvin. Real Estate Tkansfers. The following Deeds and Assignments have been left for record at the office of James Griffin, E.q., Register, during the week ending June 7th : M. J.

A Novel Scarecrow. The ingenious owner of a corn field near town bas erected a novel scarecrow in the shape of a minia ture wind mill, which beats an old tin pan and keeps np such a constant racket that the crows are afraid to approach the field in qnest of grain. If there was only some ad ditional attachment to the wind mill which would inform passers-by that the best brands of flour, the. choicest sugar cured hams, the purest teas, coffees and sugars, and the most abundant assortment of canned fruits, lem ons, oranges, confections and notions gener ally, are sold, and sold exceedingly low, by M. L. Oatman, High street, lfibensbnrg, this novel contrivance would be a double bene factor of the human race. Since it don't impart this valuable information, however, we advise everybody to go to Oatman's and learn this important fact for himself or her self, as the case may be. "The outward forms the inner man reveal, We guess the pnlp before we eat the peel." Certain is is that n man's dress reveals much of his habits and character. A cleanly man, however poor, will never be slovenly in his dress, and on the other hand, a care less man, however rich, will nerer baa well dressed man. It pays to dress well, there can be no doubt about that, and it is equally certain that the place to dress up at is Oak gall, Philadelphia. - ' Local Correspondence. Jobhstowk, June 7, 1869. Friend Mac. I might just repeat what I said last week about the weather. The week was characterized by storms and heavy rains, as heavy as ever fell in these diggings. Tie members of the M. E. Church have raised funds and workmen are now engaged in completing the edifice. Formerly the chapel only was finished. "Now the main audience room is nearly plastered, and will be frescoed in a few weeks in magnificent style. When completed this church w'dl ccet near eighty thousand dollars. The German Catholic Church Is progress ing rapidly. A railroad track is laid across the old basin to the side of the church, on which brick and other material are convey ed. The German Lutheran church has the heavy roofing support timbers on, and the brick work will soon be finished. On last Saturday evening, about the time that the "curfew tolls the knell of parting day," the fire bell of our city tolled an alarm of fire, and a grand rush was made to the scene of disaster, which whs on the cor ner of Washington and Frankiic streets, op posite the third ward school house. By some means a fire had broken out in the corner building owned by Eb. Simth, and rented as a grocery by Mr. Kennedy. Some say that it originated from an accident when drawing oil in the cellar. The fire was quenched be fore the steam engine got fired up, and but little damage was done beyond what the wa ter did. This we beliave is the first fire that has occurred since the fire bell was put Tip. Our city has escaped fires remarkably well. It is rumored that Morri3 street is to be paved from the residence of David Dibert up to the toll-gate at Benshoof 'a old farm. This is a good idea, for it is in an awful condition just bow, and needs paving. Would it not be well to change the name of this street from Morris to Morrell street. The latter has done more for the property of this city than ever the former done, ten times over. The citizens are still taking stock in the wildcat water, and every one who takes it seems icildly glad. In fact wildcat water is a great institution. It is brought five miles, from the ba?e of Laural Hill, in metal pipes, one foot in diameter, and six feet under ground, to our city, and has seventy feet of a natural fall. It can be squirted from the nozzle of any hose, over any bouse, without any additional force. It is soft, and washes like suow water. It is pure and drinks like the fountains of Helicon. It is cheap, and it can be put in any corner of the house. Aud finally, it don't freeze in winter. Sich is wildcat water. Preparations are already being made for the celebration of the Fourth of July, and we doubt not that the day will be generally remembered. In the Literary Society, the other night, Daniel McLaughlin, Esq., read a splendid essay on the "Patriotism of Locality." There were five interments in Sandy Tale Cemetery cn last Saturday. Rob Koy. - St. Acgustijte, June 7, 18C9. Dear Freeman As there is no correspond ent of your invaluable journal in this local ity, I hope 1 will not be considered as Intru ding wheu I volunteer a few items for the perusal of your readers. On Thursday last, 3d inst.. we had a fine pic-nic 5d the grove cf Dr. Krise, ndjoining the village. The day was a pleasant one, and the people turned out early. Mass was celebrated in the Catholic church at 8 o'clock, a. m., after which the young boys and girls were formed in procession, beaded by the band of the Y. M. C. A. of this place, and proceeded-to the grove, where Mersrs. Carle, McGough and McGuire were discoursing sweet music to the many pleasure seekers already assembled. Dancing was the order of the day and found numerous devotees. The refreshment saloons were so abundantly supplied with good things that it was dim cult to determine where to commence first. I must say that the young ladies who had charge of the refreshment department de serve the highest encomiums fnm all present for the efficient manner ia which they per formed their duties. Among many strange faces I noticed that of Mr. A. D. Criste, agent for the wholesale grocery house of Little & Baird, Pittsburgh. He is a clever gentleman and we shall be glad to greet him often in our midst. On Saturday last Mr. Joseph D mahoe of this place, while returning from the woods with an axe on his shoulder, stepped on a log, and the log being slippery he fell across it, the blade of the axe coming in contact with Lis shoulder, inflicting a 6evere and painful but not dangerous wound. As I may be intruding I will have done. Velo C. Pede. Letter from thb West. We take the liberty of publishing the following extract from a private letter from a valued friend in the West, who was formerly a resideut of Johnstown, and from whom we Bhall be glad to hear many times and oft iu the future : BiTn alto, III., June 3, 1869. Dea Old Fkikkd We re at present enjoying delightful weather. The Spring, however, until within a few days past, has been cold and wet. We hare had a number of storms this Spring. The last one, on Friday evening, 28th May, was accompanied by hail that destroyed whole fields of wheat, so that some farmers living two or three miles east of us are plowing it up and planting corn. With us the hail did not come down so thick, but it made up in site what it lacked in quan tity. The hail stones were not round and smooth, but very rough and jagged, and were in all manner of shapes, measuring from oxr to Wilts inches in circumference. "Wasn't that a big ice 7" It is true, nevertheless. Come out and take supper with us and we'll give you strawberries, for I don't suppose you have have any on the Alleghenies yet. They are a drug lc the St. Louis market at five cents per quart, and as we axe distant only one hoar's ride from that city our prices do not vary much from the rates prevailing there. Should Barnum visit your locality In search of curiosities please send him to Bethalto, for we have a real live one here in the shape of a Postmaster who persistently denies all i elation ship with President Grant. Hence he is con sidered one of the greatest of living curiosities. A good man and soldier who served three years in the army was turned out to give the carios ity a place. I saw B B some two months ago in St. Louis. He is a locomotive engineer on the Pacific Rail Road. Should you ever come West yon roust be sure to visit Bethalto. We will "treat you in true "Sucker" style. With best wishes for your welfare and hap piness, I remain your friend, Jos H. Gadd. A Good Movb. Our artist friend, Mr. T. T. Spence, has put np bis picture stand at the corner of High and Julian streets, so that all who are now or may hereafter be in attendance at Court may examine specimens of his work without first visiting his Gallery. Mr. S. tells ns that the display of specimens at the point chosen has had the effect of in ducing quite a nnraber to call on him and have their pictures taken, and as he is an excellent artist and very moderate in his charges, we can see no reason why many more should not go and do likewise. Exam ine Mr. Spence'a specimens and then visit his Gallery on Julian street (and secure a Jife-like picture to take home to your friends. MORS INDUBITABLE PROOF. Capt. Jas. OALLAOBca, Steamboat Captain, of Pitts burgh, Pa., writes : "The inventor of MISH LER'S HERB BITTERS is a benefactor to the hmruan race. I was a victim to ths worst form of Dyspepsia ; my health failed to such a degree that the physicians pronounced me in curable. I kad used all sorts of remedies, and even took a vevage to California, but nothing relieved aae. The Bitters war finally recom mended; I refused to us it; my friends insist ed, and at last I yielded. 1 am thanklul that I was induced to do so, for I am new as well, hale and strong as I was fifteen years ago." Sold by druggists generally. Price one dollar per bottle. Tiirm Brides and Three Bcttons. Three cewly wedded ladles discovered some three days ago, that three vests belonging-respectively to their three husbands lacked just three buttons each, and like three good wives they repaired, at three separate and distinct times, to the cheap and extensive cash store of H. A. Shoemaker & Co., where each select ed, unknown to the others, three bttons of the same kind exactly. This somewhat sin gular coincidence may mean nothing, but this notice means that Shoemaker's store is the proper place to go when you want to bay any thing from a bureau or a bedstead to a corn broom or a vest button, at the lowest cash rates. Faijmtrs, Attention 1 Such of our agricultural friends as may be in town during the sitting of Co-srt, and who may contemplate the purchase of a patent Mower and Reaper, should not fail to call and examine the cele brated Aetna machine, fr the sale of which Mr. Geo. Huntley, has been appointed agent. It is certainly the very best Mower and Reaper manufactured, and no farmer should attempt to cultivate this mountainous soil without the aid of such a valuable auxiliary. Mr. Hunt ley sells them at manufacturer's prices. WnAT a Man. "I'll sell you that entire suit for sixteen dollars," said J. J. Mur phy of the Star Clothing Store, Clinton street, Johnstown, to a customer, the otter day. "For sixty dollars," said the customer, amazed ; "Why its not worth more than thirty. What a man you are." "I said sixteen dollars." thundered J. J. Murphy. "Oh," said the cus tomer. "I'll give give vou fifteen." "No, six teen" said J. J. "Well, wrap it up." Broken Wixdotv. Some thoughtless boys last week while swinging round the up right rod of an unfinished awning, tore it down , one piece striking a window and breaking a five dollar pnne of glass, just opposite L. Co hen A Brother's New York Clothing Store, where one can buy good, cheap, neat, season able and fashionable clothing and gent's fur nishing goods, sargosies, collars, suspenders end other vixens. Almost a Fire. The alarm of fire on Saturday evening brought out the ladies, as well as the men, and it was no sooner quenched than they made a general rush to Leopold Mayer'9 Dry Goods Store, Opera House, Main street, Johnstown, to see his su perb new goods, and they cirried away more goods than are generally carried away at fires, but they paid for them. Of course Mr. Mayer let them fire away. A Rare Chxce. Persons in at tendance at Court, as well as all tho?e who reside in and about our town, should not fail to avail themselves of the chance now afford ed for buyingall mar.nerof any goods, notions, groceries, etc., at a great reduction in prices at the popular store of R. R. Davis who is anx ious to close out his stock at cost and carriage previous to his removal further down towu. Reader, if you have a mother, sister, wife or daughter at home whom you can make happier by taking with you a fine dress pattern of some kind, our advice is to go at once to the new store of A. O. Fry, on High street, three doors west of Centre street, and make your selections from one of the most extensive and beautiful assortments of goods ever offered at such low prices in this mountain village. MrnrnT & Co Go to Murphy & Co., Houston House, Johnstown, for carpets, feath ers, Wankcts, coverlets, dry goods, fancy goods, cloths, cassimeres, umbrellas, spring and sammer goods, shawls, cloaks, etc. Go to Murphy & Co. for good goods, good bar gains, good proprietors, f ood clerks, good sales and good attention ; and when you buy a good deal, go home and you will feel good. Birr One Price. Leopold & Brother, Oak Hall Clothing Store, Main street, Johns tovn, keep but one price on their goods. So. if you want a good suit of clothing anl af k the pric,you ean know it when they speak. They sell cheap and durable goods and it is satisfac tory to know that you will pay no more and no less than your neighbor for an article of the same quality. Try them. Benton & Watne do keep the beet hardware and cutlery in Johnstown ; but don't mistake the place, the second door from the corner of Main and Frank l:n streets. Mr. Benton has long been a mechanic and Mr Wayne has long been a salesman, and if they cannot select goods with respect to good quali ty and fair prices, we don't know who can. Try them. An Ohdinance. All persons are here by forbidden to leave Ebonburg without first visiting the mammoth mercantile mart of V. S. Batker, on High street, and when once there it will become their duty, as we know it will be their pleasure, to buy one or more ar ticles from the magnificent stock there offered for sale at unprecedentedly low prices.

In order to understand how to eat and how to conduct our selves after eating, it is recsssary that we should be acquainted, in some measure, with the process of nutrition. Many persons tumble their food precipitately into their mouths and swallow it without mastication, contrary to the express laws of nature. Food should undergo thorough mastication and salivation before it enters the duodennm and becomes mixed with the bile and pancreatic juices. This bile is there secreted by the liver. The chyme havir J undergone the changt9 adverted to, is urged, i by the peristaltic motion of the intestines, on ward through the alimentary canal. If the peristaltic motion be diminished, owing to the deficiency of bile, the progre.3 of digestion is retarded and the bowels become constipRted, and dyspepsia often follows. In such cases a thorough and active cathartic should be ued to produce fpecific action, arousing the secre tions and producing free bilious evacuations. The beet article for this purpose is Dr. Robiick's Blood Pills, the use of which shou'd be followed by Roback's Stomach Bitters, to Rive tone to the stomach and aid digestion. (my.2J.lm.)
