A republican pole erected last fall in Franklin borough, this county, was recently purchased for the purpose of putting up a a derrick at the new German Catholic church in Johnstown, but when the purchasers at tempted to move it a crowd of republican men and women gathered about the work men and prevented them from taking it away, declaring very vociferously that a "republican pole should not be used to help build a Catholic church." The Jchnstown Democrat very properly remarks that "this uot only shows the narrow contracted fanat icism of the party of 'moral ideas but their proscriptive feelings and tendencies." Rev. J. M.

One of those shocking tragedies which so frequently result from a lawless disregard of right.had its occurrence in Summerhiil town ship on Tuesday night of last week, aud re sulted in the Heath, on Thursday morning followiug. of an inoffensive man named Jacob Stttleruoyer. The facts connected with this sad tragedy, so far as we have been able to learn them, are that a number of Mr. Settle moyer's neighbor had gathared at bis hou6e ou Tuesday to give him a benefit iu shape of a "bark peeling," he having had the mis foTtone to lre a horse. A dance in the evening followed as a matter of course, aud f.ryoun mm iu the neighb rhood, named Edward F. Burke. Lewis Delahuut. Reed McGough aud James Keating, probably con sidering that they had been slighted in not having received an invitatioj, started from Wtfnaore, it is alleged, with the avowed in tention of -taking the house." Ba that as it may. the party had scarcely more than reached the piemlses wheu a disturbance occurred betweeu Settlenioyer and Burke, but they were soon parted and bettlemoyer tv k up his position at once in his own door, doubtless with the intention of preventing the entrance of the attacking party. While standing there Burke picked up a piece of a hemlock board, some six feet loug. ami hurled it at Settlemoyer. one end of the board strik ing hiru iu the stomach aud producing a rup ture of the bowels, frum the effects of which the unfortunate man died in thirty-four hours after receiving tha fatal blow. bttlemoyer resided for a consider Able time in this com munity, where he followed the occupation of teamster, and was esteemed a sobwr, indus trious and iuofTeiwve man. He was not a member of any church, we believe, during life, but is said to have beeu received into the Catholic f.dd on his death-led. He was a married man and the father of threo chil dren. A lst mortem examination of the remains of the deceased were made on Thurs day by Drs. Krise of St. Augustine aud Ches nutwood of Wilmore. Burke and his associates seem to have made no eff rt to escape, Delahcnt was ar rested (n Wilmore and bn ught to jail here on Saturday by i ffier William Lloyd, ami the same evening the same officer returned with Burke, who bad voluntarily given him self up. On Sunday forenoon the other two young men were brought to jail by officer Lloyd, having b-en arrested at their respect ive homes at an early hour that morning Neither of the parties implicated offered the least resistance or objection to the mandates of the law, bat quietly and peaceably sub mitted to their arrest and imprisonment. Of course there are a number of rumors afloat in connection with this lamentable tragedy, but it is not the province cf a news paper to give currency to any of them. The degree "of guilt of thei-everal parties Implica ted will doubtless be established before the proper tribunal. An Important Trial. The entire of last week was occn pied by our Conrt of Common Pleas in the trial of a most important eject ment case, in which Murray Hoffman. Jr., was plain till and James and John McDer mitt defendants. This case involved the ti tle to some two hundred acres of land in CIear6eld township, warrauted in the uaroes of Philip Wager and Hilery Baker, and was particularly important in the fact that large bodies of land in the same locality held a relative position as to title, and the decision in this case would be viewed as a precedent in others of like nature which might follow. The plaintiff contended that the tract of land in dispute lay on the Clearfield creek, in this county, and was embraced in a tract of land warranted in the name of Thomas Roop, on which tract the defendants alleged they re sided and that it was not interfered with by the claim of the plaintiff. The trial occu pied the time of the Court from Monday af ternoon until Saturday afternoon, the jury retiring to their room, after listening to a very able and exhaustive charge lrom his Honcr, Judge Taylor, and returning in about two hours with a verdict in favor of the de fendants. The case was ably and admirably conducted by the counsel on both sides Messrs. Blair, Johnston and Shoemaker for plaintiff and Messrs. Reade and Fenlon for defendants. The jury was an intelligent body of men, and in point of nationality was very singularly constituted, it being com posed of an equal number of Germans. Irish men. Welshmen and persons of American birth. Of course this latter fact had no bearing on the result, but was nevertheless singular enough to be noted. A motion for a tew trial was promptly made by the plain tiff's counsel. Cspt. T. H. Lyon, of Bedford, was aerions lv ini-ired. a few davs since, by being thrown from his horse agaiuat a tree. School Furniture and Apparatus.- We had the pleasure of an introduction, a few days since, to Prof. E. A. Rogers, who comes amongst us as agent for the firm of Wachob & McDowall, Scranton, Pa., man ufacturers of the celebrated Excelsior School Apparatus and School Furniture. Among the articles for which Mr. Rogers is agent, and which he hopes to introduce to the fa vorable consideration of School Boards in this county, may be mentioned a complete line of both double and single desks, seats and chairs for school rooms, the Excelsior Globe for the better acquiring of a knowl edge of geography, Charts of Penmanship, Reading Tablets, Ac. We are not only con vinced by observation, but by the testimony of friends whose judgment in such matters is worthy of consideration, that these goods are unequalled in manufacture, accuracy and design, while the scale of prices is cer tainly moderate enough to secure their sale in all districts competent to afford the out lay. It is folly to expect a teacher, no mat ter how competent, to convey to his pupils by mere force of words alone a correct knowledge of even the simplest branches of a common education, aud it is next to impossible to impress such knowledge on the minds of scholars while their bodies are kept so ill at ease as they are by the miserably constructed seats and desks which have too long held sway in school rooms all over the land. Hence we say that Mr. Rogers should be welcomed as a benefactor, and no board of school directors anywhere should hesitate to have suitable apparatus, and above all, suitable furniture, such as he is prepared to furuish, introduced into the schools of their respective d istriefs, provided the necessary funds are obtainable for such a praiseworthy purr o.-e. To show that we are not speaking at ran dom in regard to this important subject, we append the following recommendation voluntarily given by our County Superin tendent, who is certainly competent to ex pre.s an intelligent opinion in the matter: EnrNsBCRO, June 17, 18f.9. The Excelsior Globe and P. D. A S.'b Charts of Penmanship, and the Reidiug Tablets, for which Prof. E. W. Rogers is gcnt, I have examined, and feel free to pronounce them among the best articles of sch ol apparatus with which I am acquainted. The next thing to live teachers in the schoolroom is proper school apparatus. I should be pleased to see our schools, as fur as possible, supplied with good apparatus, like that for which Prof. Rog ers is agei.t, and lrom it I believe we should be able to dale greater success in our schools.

Oua CorjJtTY Poor Uocsb The follow ing presentment of the condition of our Couuty Poor House wits made by the last Grand Jury, and although the Coutt declined in act if not in word to comply with the de mand to have it published, a certified copy was obtaiued from the Prothonotary's cCi:e and inserted in lat week's Alleghanian. It is due to Col. McDermitt, the Steward of the Poor House, to say that he denies in toto the charges made iu the presentment, and his assertions as to the falsity of tho statements are borne out by the fact that the previous Graud Jury reported favorably on the con dition of that institution, and the Allegha nian itself not loug oiuce published an arti cle highly laudatory of Col. MsDerruitt's management of the Poor House. Of our owu knowledge we know nothing in regard to the questions at issue, except that we saw outeide grounds and the necessary out honse for insane females, several of whom occupied the grounds during a visit made by us only last summer. We publish the presentment because we believe that neither a true or false statement emanating from such a source would be any the less damaging, after the publicity it has received, because we saw fit to withhold it from our readers. We, the Grand Jury at June Sessions, 1809, of Cambria county, Penna., inquiring for the body of the said county, do present that having visited the Poor House of the said county, they find the buildings in very bad condition, as well as tha surroundings. 4 at The apartment for insane women is without ventilation and very dirty, no outside ground being arranged for them. 2d. The males who are insane are, if possi ble, in worse condition. As to the building, on tha north east angle of the building, the spouting having failed, the water has come en the wall, one-half of which is destroyed for a space of two feet lengthwise; on the ground below, under which the water should be conveyed, is choked np with human excrement and other filth. A hole is cut in the floor of the insane de partment a foot square, which has been made to answer all the purposes of a privy. The sink or sluice at the kitchen door is fibhy beyond description. We decline to dwell on tha subject at any greater length. We require and ask that this be published in the papers of this couuty. JOHN THOMPSON, Foreman. Founxn of July. Flags of Silk, Mus lin.

Friend Mae Our local this week con sist of rains, rains, rains, and storms, storms, storms. We could not count bow many times it rained the past week, and when it did rain it beat "wild cat" all hollow, and seemed for the time as if it would supercede that institution. A gentleman, named Elliot, from Pitts burg or Allegheny city, brought two car loads of flowers to town for sale. The first load he sold wholesale at a heavy discount, promising not to come back again, but he forgot his promise and returned with anoth er collection, which he auctioned off at the Houston House. There were some very nice moss roses, monthly ro.es, verbenas, mignonettes, and geraniums, which sold, on an average, at twenty five cents apiece some as low as ten and even five cents each. They appeared to be very healthy flowers. From statements of farmers there is yet good hopes for a crop of corn. There is considerable planted, and from what we can learn not much failed to grow. Should the frost keep off through September, to give the grain time to ripen, there will be an av erage crop. You have doubtless heard of the murder of Mr. Jacob Settlemyer, cf Summerhill township, by four young men. or one of the four all his neighbors. As you will per haps receive the facts better than we can give them, the statement will be left to you. Win. Alexander, of East Conemangh bor ough, a prominent citizen, died suddenly cn Friday last, we believe of consumption, or perhaps heart disease. He was much res pected in his neighborhood. Paving goes on briskly on our streets, and from appearances we will soon have better streets than we ever had a desidera tum much nreded. The water works are growing and taking root in all directions. Building, too, is being rapidly pushed for ward, the only draw-back Dei ng the want of brick. Tne German Catholic church will take about one milliion of brick a'one. There is not much excitement iu this part of the couuty about the delegate elet tions. Cambria county generally elects honest men to office, and as the "paster and folder" question does not arise in the issue joined, there will not be much trouble in deciding who shall be the candidates. The other question of changing the mode of representation in conventions is more im portant. While it seems reasonable that districts giving heavy majorities should have a heavy representation, yet it se;ms just as reasonable that districts in which the demo crats fight heavy majorities and monopolies should be encouraged in their efforts. Wal lace of Scotlaud, Lmmet of Ireland aDd Tell of Switzerland have been rendered immortal by the stand they took against power and superior force. Jt fceetns reasonable that a similar meed of praise should be extended to those who fight against heavy oddb in mi nority districts, on a smaller scale. Prize banners are generally awarded to the district giving the heaviest per cent. majority, or increased vote, and we have thought that this would be the proper way to give an increased representation to a county convention. Let the district that in creases its vote ten per cent, in ona year be entitled to one additional representative in the succeeding county convention, etc. But we forbear, and leave the matter with wiser heads. The weather has at length Wcome warm, notwithstanding which the big mill turns out its two hundred tons of iron rails per day. We pity the operatives under the Bwelteriug heat, yet they seem to endure the labor bravely, and perhaps they Lave as good a right to pity us. The prospect for fruit continues good. Cherries are ripeniDg, the currants are abundant, and there is a profusion of black bet ry blossoms. If nothing happens to des troy the fruit, the coming autumn promises an abundant yield of everything in the fruit line. Gardening hae become a speciality about town. Up Stony Creek we noticed acres of onions, radishes, beans, peas, and other veg etables. The business must be profitable. Ouion sell at five cents a bunch, or oi.e cent a piece; so do radishes In one acre there are near forty-four thousand square feet, and one can raise, on an average, six onions or radishes on a foot. This would make over two hundred and sixty thousand onions or radishes ou'one acre, equal to as many cents, equals $2,040. But deduct one half for loss and still the crop would be worth $1,320. Some one says General Grant is a kind man relaticely speaking. All we can say of the local this week is that it is good rela tively speaking. Locals generally happen one day too late. They have caught us that way frequently. P. Tbolkum. Altooxa City, June 22, 1869. Friend Mac The recent arrest in this city of a number of young men charged with the henious crime of arson still continues to form the staple topic of conversation. A few days after the arrests were made a scathing article appeared in that true and fearless exponent of democratic principles, the Altoona Vindi cator, in which the Good Will Fire Company were severely censured for permitting roughs and rowdies to lounge about their engine house and exercise a controling influence in the affairs of the company. In a conversa tion with the President of the Good Will, after the article had appeared, he remarked that no gentleman belonging to that organi sation could take offence at the strictures of the Vindicator, and that the article had a good effect is evidenced in the fact that at least some of the disreputable characters who desecrated the Sabbath in and about the engine house, aud insulted the ears of respectable ladies passing by in the eveDings with ribald jests and obscene remarks, have been expelled from the organization. Not withstanding these admitted facts, however, there is a strong inclination in some quarters to make capital out of the course of tbe Vin dicator, but as the motives of the parties are well known, it cannot result in any injury to that fearless democratic journal. While ou this subject I may remark that our City Fathers, feeling the indignity and humilia tion that has has been brought upon our fire department in consequence of the law less doings of some of the members thereof, held a special meeting with a view to reme dy the evil complained of. After consider abb debate on fire matters the vigilant and loquacious member from the Fourth Ward moved that the council should sustain the Good Will in expelling the roughs and rowdies from the company. On motion, privilege was granted the President of the Good Will to make any remarks he deemed proper in regard to the matter. That officer, Mr. Yanclain, accordingly made a few plain, E radical and temperate remarks. But, Oh ord ! the report given in Council proceed ings by the brilliant pen of the Secretary, was most refreshingly cool for this hot weather ! What a successful writer of fic tion that individual would make if his own brilliant imagination was all tha capital needed for tbe purpose ! The least obsta vant, however, could not fail to notice the attempted satire, malice and jealousy ta the report, which was intended to bring the Vindicator into disrepute with tha better portion of the Good Will boya and their friends. I am informed that Mr. Yanclain was as much surprised as his friends at the words which had been pat into his mouth, and denies tha legitimacy of tha report. A rousing Catholic pio-nic, to excel any thing of the kind ever attempted hereaway, is the only celebration of the national holi day yet on the tapis in this vicinity. It will be held on Monday, 6th inpt. Some of the friends of tbe Vindicator pro pose getting np a pic-nio for its benefitand as a token of their appreciation of Mr. Campbell, its editor. In view of that gen tleman's loss by fire and other misfortunes, such an enterprise would be eminently prop er and praiseworthy. A German laborer in the employ of Mr. Hamilton, a farmer residing a few miles below this city, hung himself to a tree on the premises of the latter gentleman, on Saturday evening last. He had been some what deranged in mind for some time pre vious to the commission of this act of self murder. A lovely and interesting little daughter of Mr. William Bartley, of this city, met with a sad death on Monday evening last. Her sister was preparing cofiee for supper, and gave the child a grain, which she at tempted to swallow, but it lodged in her throat and strangled her to death before any thing could be done to dislodge it. An athlete named John Sheffield perform ed soma unparalleled feats here on Monday evening. He walked half a mile, ro'led a carriage wheel half a mile, walked back wards half a mile, run half a mile, picked up twenty stones each place one yard from the other, hopped fifty yards on one leg, leaped over ten hurdles ten yards apart, picked up fifteen eggs, one yard apart, with his mouth, and earried each one back singly to the log without using his bands, and threw fifty-six pounds weight over his head all in the remarkably short space of twenty-eight minutes time. Over two thous and persons witnessed tha feats. Yours, 4c, T. I. M. Copartnership. We are pleased to learn that our young friend. Mr. J. M. Montgom ery, late of No. 6 Sraithfield Street, Pitts burgh, has formed a bnsiness connection with Mr. Peter Schlegel, of No. 337 Liberty Street, under the name of Montgomery & Schlegel. The new firm will continue their old business. Fiour and Produce. They have now on hand and receiving daily some of the best brands of Flonr in that market, and are selling at lower prices than any other house in the city. They are also prepared to re ceive consignments of produce or fill orders for the fume, and we feel confident that ship pers will find it to their interest to send their g.Kxls to them if they wish prompt sales and quick returns. Buyers of Flonr and Pro duce will find it to their advantage to call and examine their prices before making their purchases elsewhere, as they are now offering first class brands of Flour at prices other houses are asking for an inferior arti cle.

We mada a mistake last week in announcing that Mr. Geo. Huntley was prepared to furuish lime in large or small quantities.
