The n-ual amount of noise and confusion incident to Ctnrt wpek prerails about nur town. 1 nt thus far. to use the language of the late lamented, there is "nobody hurt." The deer killing season clel on the l.t of December, and hunters in this region will do well to make a note of the fact that the law imposes & very heavy penalty on those who violate its provisions. Religion about a printing office is a rather Fcarce commodity, nevertheless a religious holiday on Wednesday has delayed our pa per until Thursday aftern;m. We will try and make time next we-k. The fattest of all fat porkera in this bail iwick still lives, moves and has its being in the pen of Herr Foster of the Camb'ia House.

The Hunting-Ion Mmitor haa shown a commendable enterprise tn oubltshing the President's message entire the second dav after its presentation to Congress.

We are entirely unwilUfcg to cheat the old gen tleman out of ten years of his long life, and we therefore make this correction. A girl named Rebecca iladden has been held in 5800 bail on suspicion of murdering her new born haho. which was fwiind dead in an out house in Indiana, Pa., on Friday evening week. One of the poor little in fant's limbs and a portion of its face had been eaten by rats before it wan discovered. Our irrepressable friend. P. F. Lynch, of Hemlock, is once again in attendance at court a pi'grimnee which he makes regu larly jut four times a year. If our eyes did not deceive our enrsight. he was duty oler Wednesday forenoon, and we hope he will not "slop over" during his sojourn here at lea-t. Cornelius Kmc. Jihn Mulvahill, John Ijvnch arid Edward Powers, convicted in Huntingdon of murder in the second degree for killing Patrick Mackey, were each sen tenced by Judge Taylor, at the argument court on Saturday last, seven years' sepa rate and solitary coi.fi.iemvnt in the Westtrti Penitentiary. We understand that Dr. A. P. Field is gaining a very lucrative practice in th's vi cinity. He is prepared to attend to all clls from persons needing his services, whether in town or country, no nutter what hour of the day or night hs mav be required. The Dxrtor is the rigbt kind of a man, and we wish hirn abundant success. Henry II Carr, a young colored man who formerly resided in llollidavshurg. lias 10 cently been found guilty in Philadelphia of murder in the second degree, for killing a fellow barber named Francis S. Wvkc ff in August last, and has been sentenced to im- I prisonment for three yeais and six months in the Eastern Penitentiary. Messrs. Augustine Fogle, Jrs. P. Murphy and Louis Plack, of Altoona. three of the worthiest gentlemen and most practical friends of the Freeman that ever crcokrd an elbow, were among the visitors to the moun tain village during the present week. As their visit was of a business character, we hope it proved advantageous. The reported murder of a young man named Cassiday by his father, somewhere in the Broad Top region, is without foundation in fact. Of like character, we doubt not. is the reported murder of an infant by its moth er near Ca6ville. Huntingdon county. There are enough real tragedies, Heaven knows, without getting up bogus murders. Our intelligent friend. Mr. J. C. Stineman, manager of the South Fotk coal works, in forms us that John llourke, a miner em ployed by the company operating the works, bad his.collar borre broken and was other wise injured, on Friday last, by a fall of coal in the mine in which he was at work. His Injuries are not considered dangerous. We learn that a man named James Craig ley, hind brakeman on the "xpiess freight train east, was killed in the Pi. R. R. tun nel, at Gallitzin, yesterday (Wednesday) morning. We could ascertain no particu lars, but the presumption is that he fell fiom one of the cars and was run over by the bal ance of the train and killed instantly. Israel Keefer and a man named Ringler were out deer huntir.g together in Brothers valley, Somerset county, on Thursday week, when the former saw a movement in the bushes, and supposing it to be caused by a deer, fired, and running up found to his hor ror that hehad shot his friend Ringler. The wounded man was still alive at last accounts. Health and comfort both demaud the use of gum overshoes or boots at this inclement season of the year, and those who are not yet supplied should call and see the assort ment kept by Mr. John Dougherty, tailor and clothier, who has also an ample stock of gam and cloth overcoats, as well as dress coats, pants, vests, bats, caps, etc., iu great profusion and at moderate prices. On behalf of the Mountaineer Base Ball Club, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. M. Kerr have con sented to give one of their delightful enter tainments at the Court House, in thi3 place, on Wednesday evening. Dec. '29th. The concert, we are assured, will be the finest ever given in our town, and we hope to see an immense audience greet the accomplished vocalists and pay tribute tn our worthy friends of the M. B. B. C Furthe particu lars next week. We learn from our friend Dr. Zaigler that two little grandsons of Mr. Win. Myers, of Philipsburg. Centre county, undertook to take their first lesson in smoking in the bay-mow of the old gentleman's stable, and the result was that they set fire to the hay. and the hay set fire to the stable, and be fore the fl imes could be extinguished the stable and, all it contained was destroyed. I Other property in the vicinity was saved was 6aved with difficulty. Our young friend and subscriber, Geo. F. Huff, Esq., of Greensburg, is strongly urged by quite- a number of his party papers for the position of State Treasurer. Mr. Huff is a gentleman of undoubted canacltv and unimpeachable integrity, but we fear those qualifications would rather deter than aid I his election. An honest and able financier like Mr. Huff is badly needed to take care of the public funds, but the radical mj rity in the legislature cannot be influenced by considerations of that character, and hence George is not likely to "make the riffle." A freight train ou the Penna. Rail Road, of which our young friend Johu Doran, of oummerhill township, was engineer, ran iu to the ni'ul train at Minor station on Tues day, owing to the fact that the latter train was behind time and no signal was sent hack, and the result was that a passenger named Henry Mahon. of Newark. N. J.. was injured so badly thr.t he died the same evening, a freight brakeman namad Benja min Sanlsbnry. of Lwrenceville, was killed. instantly, and eleven others (among them j Mr. Doran. who was considerably hurt about about the head, face and on his right hip. and Alexander Wynne, freight conductor, of i Conemaugh, slightly bruised about tha head 1 and body.) were more or less injured. i , Rkal Estate Transfers.

In the matter of bu smrs. we do not know a more energetic or wide awake dealer anywhere thau Geo. Hunt ley, of the ELen?burg stoe tinware and house furnishing emporium. Anything new iu his line he is always Hire to obtain without de lay, and in his dealings he is always prompt, liberal and re i tble. We ask our farmer IVie ids and others to call and examine two very useful articles which he advertises in our paper to dv. Mr. Huntley deserves every man's cus toui who needs article in his line, and there id no one who does not need more or less of such goods as he keep for sale and sells theap. !TiJiKiNG It ettikes u that many people and things in this o 11 are strikers. Clocks s rike, pugnacious men strike, pretty women strike (your fancy), workmen often strike, and printers strike non-paying subscrt bers from their lists. These stiikes are all good, bad or inditTerent, but oce unadulterated good ftrike is to striite a bee line for Shoe maker Si Co. 's store, where you can strike up an excellent bargait. in the purchase of any kind of goods you may want to boy. whether dry goods, groceries, furniture, notious, and "sich like." So strike at once everybody. SoMKTiiiNtJ Sweet. We have "some thing sweet to tell you," aud it's not a secret yon need keep, for the more folks you tell the. more people there will be to come in for a share of the sweetness.- What we want to tell you is that Vrllie Barker has the purest, sweetest, clearest, heaviest and most delicious syrup that we ever spread on a buckwheat cake, and hot cakes and ' lasses" is one of our weaknesses. We recommend it to everybody who has a ' sweet tooth in his head." for it is certainly the best syrup that has ever been old here. Make a Note of This Our readers have already been informed that Mr. Edward Mills has established himself in the flour, feed and produce business, but tbey may not know that he can sell flour, meal, feed, or nnything else he deals in, just as cheap by the quantity as like articles can be bought from anv miller in the country. Persons buying to sell again cannot deal to better advantage with any man than they can with Mr. Mills. Those who want fliur and produce for home consumption will fare equally well at bis establishment. Immense Preparations Mr. Leopold Myer. Opera House, Main street, Johnstown, is making great preparations for the holidavs. He has ordered spe.-ial geods for the occasion, among which are dress goods, fancy goods. and furs of peculiar styles.

Lenhart, of the Regular Army, arrived here a few days ago direct from Alaska. He made the trio in about ntteen nays, tie brought wttn him a copy f the "Alaska Times."( weekly.) and "The British Colonist," (daily.) published at Vats Couver's Island, the latter paper is dated Nov. 9, 1869. From both papers it would appear that "Northwestward the star of em pire takes its way." All the appliances of civilization are found at those places, such as circuses, tbeaties, billiard saloons, auc tions, etc., etc. There was trouble between negroes aud Danes at Sitka ; also between ai - negroes and Russians. In B itish Columbia the Governor was about to seek refuge in United States territory fsiuce done) Ser geant Lenhart hriugs an honorable discharge a sound body home with him, and his numerous tnends were glad to see him once gaiu. We are going to have two more churches huilt here soon. The United Presbyterians anJ the Episcopalians (Established church) each intend to put up a suitable place of """'(' " wiati tnem mucn success. Indeed there is plenty of room for more good people in our little town, notwithatondiug ah the efforts made for reform. The Assistant Fire Company intend to have a bail ou the Hat day of March, 1870. at:d they make the appointment in time, so that no other person will get pus-essiun of Union Half on that day. It will soon be time f r people to slander their neighbors again. If you have been observant, you must have noticed that sl.ia der is periodical, aud as there has been i lence observed for a month or so, look out tox a defamation befote the holidays. R. Ntlse Taylor, painter, having a little leizure time, has painted f-r himself another gorgeous sign aud put it up iu front of his establishment. The weai her clerk hereabouts is greatly puzz'ed." He doesn't exactly know what to do. Not so iu California. Our correspond ent writes, "Nov. 20. 18G9. Spring has fairly set iu here. We have had two tint raius which has started the grass to grow and everything looks as bright and green as they do in May iu the States." Just think of tb.at, you Mountaineers who have to en dure at lea.-t four months' hard fret zing yet! Thj dwelling house of a Mr. Croyle, a! Mill Creek, Yoder township, was burned dowu one day last week. No personal prop erty was saved except a few bedclothes. No lives were lost, as the fire occurred in the day tima, but considerable personal proper- ty was destroyed. Louis Luckhardt, E.-q., jeweller, has now in his store ou Main strict a one thousand dollar organ, ordered through him from au eastern firm for the use of the German Lu therian church. It is a fine sounding in strument, quite large, but not inconveni. nt'y so. We judge it is about ten feet broad and teu feet high. It has sixteen stops and a double octave tread e. It ha cn inm ense volunu enough for the largest church iu Cambria county, and we would like to see one like it in every church iu town. It makes much better music than the common cabiuet organ. Scarlst fever still prevails in anil around our borough. Several deaths have occurred arnl a number of children are now prostrate with the fever. Its ravages are contiud mainly t- small children. It is said that Hie Cambria c unty Teach ers Institute will meet oa the Monday after Cariotmas at E'oensburg. It is hoptd that every teacher who attends wilt have an es say or something else prepared, so that when the teach"is d meet something will be done. I see by the newspapers that the Bible in Schools" is still the suhjtct of discussiou ail over the land. There uever was as good a book, and there never was a book so much abused. We look upon the Bible as a man ual of spiritual instruction, to be icad and studied iu private for individual benefit, as a pocket medic.il companion would be c in sulted for physical maladies, anil not a book to be thrust iu and read everywhere. Let our spiritual inttrpreters use it iu public. if it must be s) used. We have bten in many a city and town, but we never saw such fancy numbering on houses as in-Johnstown nch peculiar tas'es aucu verdant displays of color, and such enormous figures. The numbers are of all sizes, but some are large enough for letter ing on a steamboat, or on Jupit-i's moons. Large figures on a small house are certainly out of taste. But so it is. Iiou Roy. N. B. J almost forgot to say that I was made the recipient ot some choice wedding cake and other confections, sent all the way from Hanisburg. Dr. Ernst and Emma his wife (formerly Emma Bryan) were the don ors. Heaven bless them, for I like g'odies. The Doctor is a Willmorian. So is Emma. R. It. Struct Sckne in Ebrnsburu.

Yust you go and try Mr. Oatm.in vouce. Am. A hone. All alone is N. F. Car roll at the Houston House Store. Main street, Johnstown, surrounded by dry poods, dre-s goods, fancy poods, coverlets, blanket, gro ceries, etc. Not all alone either, for he has lot of customers : but he is boss of the estab lishment now. and is bound to run it so as to make the goods circulate. Just try Nick once and it you do not get a good bargain in what ever you buv, then theie is no such thing to be had in Cambria county that's all. The Exvct Spot. At the corner of Main and Frank'in streets, in the borough of Jehustown, will be found the big store into which our young friend M. C Murnhy has re cently entered as a par'ner, -The firm is now John J Murphy k.
