the -death of our fellow citizen will be found
ui'der our ordinary 'obituary, tut the pc .i
tion he occupied in society requires a more
extended notice. ' ' - , :
Mr.- Shoemaker was born", we understsr
in Philadelphia, and v as , a descendant cf
one cf the old Quaker families of that city
Reverses of fortime left lam poor in early
lifeand about 1SS0 he sought a home in
the confines of Clearfield county, near the
Cambria lice then "a, comparative wilder
ness. After remaining here a few years he
removed into Cambria county that portion
meo-emuracea in Ulearneia township, (now
White.) soma two miles from the northern
boundary, ,f the county, " Here he pur
chased a -piece cf wood" land, and settled
down with his firmly', for the purpose of
openicg op'a farm. Oa this spot he lived
tor many years, struggling with the mon
arch s , of the forest m the summer, and
teaching the children of the- neighborhood
inthe winter. .Thus he toiled, notwith
standing a partial disability. Until the wild
erness began to "blossom" aa the" rose," and
his P.oselnd, (that was the-name: he gave
it) assumed the air and appearance of a
charming . country villa. Here,,, - while
that untiring industry which geemed' part
of bis nature never flagged, he found time
to indulge in teaching and improving his
mind, from converse with, the faw authors
whose works graced his little library. ?
Here was the abode of that, open-handed
hospitality which made Soseland a favor
ite point for the way-worn traveller ; here
too was a fountain of charity to the neigh
boring poor, who never, left, his ;portals
empty handed. ..'7 ..V,"- '.' 7; -7 ;
At ngU his probity, and that " business
talent which he possessed in ah eminent
degree,, began to-be appreciated. - The heirs
of James C Fisher (the. elder) owned an
immense body of land in the counties of
Cambria, Clearfield and Indiana, and the
agency was confided to Mr. Shoemaker.
Afterwards the charge of the Drinker lands,,
the Boilings wort a landa.'and the far-famed-Bayard
& Barclay lands, were placed under
his stewardship. r '
Though the character o( - land agent,
or land jobber, , to use the more appro
bious epithet of the seUlers,,; ia gener
ally obnoxiou?,'.Mr.. Shoemaker so managed
bis, trust that while" he gave satisfaction to
bis principals, he had rarely any difficulty
with the purchasers ; and: under his auspi
ces a very large proportion of the lands in
Northern Cambria have been opened to the
benefits of cultivation.. ' " :
. Mr. Shoemaker removed to Ebensburg in
the autumn of 1839, and continued to reside
here until his demise. Uis history here is
his former history- repeated. - That Mver
tiring industry which had secured him a
competence centinued" until within a few
day of his death. That probity which had
raised him to universal respect, Temalned
his characteristic through life ; and that
charity, which won froia Heaven a blessing
in his earlier efforts, only xpandd as Lis
means grewmore abundant aad the oppor
tunities for indulging it became more ex
tended. And his charity well accorded
with ihe Divine -injunction, i'Let not thy
lerc nana Know what tjjj right hand doeth.."

A short time 'since Gen. John Ross, a
Democrat, and as pure ani high-minded a
man as lives, was nominated to the Senate
and rejected because (for . there could be no

Since that time the name of Edward Rob
erts, Esq., of Ebcn8burg, was sent to the
Senate. . lie, too, was rejected because (for
there could be no other reason) he teas a
Radical.' Jit. Roberts was entirely honest,
competent, sponsible and radical. It might
seem strange for a conservative President to
appoint him, but for a radical Senate to re
ject him seems stranger still -
Since writing the foregoing3 we learn that
Wesley J. Rose, Esq., of Johnstown, has
been appointed by. tha .President and con
firmed by the Senate., Mr. Rose is a Demo
crat, moderate 'in his Views, well qualified
for the position; and, we have no doubt, will
make an excellent officer. We congratulate

of Uurrolltown have organized thcmselTc-s
iuto Assciatiob with the above .yery ap
propriate, title." For its objects we refer to
the correspondence of "Iago," who, w
lieve.is an ofiicer of the Society. The Association-
has done the editor ofnhe Freextan
the honor of electing fclta sm honorary mem
btr. Vre do not purpose now to dwell upon
the aims and purposes of this Society, but
we do purpose. speaking a few words of the
venerable man whore name has been adopt
ed by the Association, , ; ,
: " Peteb Hesex .LsiiKE, after scrying many
years with distinction in the Wars that des-. j
olated Germany, left the army,, and turning
his attention to theology, was some lime af
ter admitted into" the Catholic church,' and i
subsequently ' receivad the order cf priest-
hood. After laboring awhile in Us vocation j
near his old home, he emigrated to the Uni- j
ted States, and kis: advent into Cambria j
county was about the year 1834.'?' ' " ; !
" In 1840 there was no Catholic church in
Cambria county porta of Ebensburg; and L
retto, except a smallJog! building known as
St. Joseph's, some two miles, north-west of
UirroIItown. - About this- time Rev. Mr.
Ijemke took up bis residence at what is now
the old monastery build jng, on the west side
of CarroIItown. Here he commenced his la
bors, and continued them until that Infant
settlenaetit became the largest congregation
in Cambria ceunty. - ; -
lhe writer of this article remembers wdl
being on the spot where CarroIItown now
6tands in the summer of 1839. - At that
time : the whole settlement was known as
"Hart's Sleeping Place," from the fact that
Jacob Hart, an old German who traded with
the Indians, had built a hut in this locality,
where he slept in his journeymgs along . the
Kittanning Path from theeastern settlements
to tbofe west o the Allegheny mountains.
More recently, however, the neighborhood
of Hart's cabin bgan to be designated as the
'Weakland Settlement " while some 'three
miles distant the clearing" tha was opened
was known as the "Luther Settlement."'.
"' CarroIItown is between these settlements',
and at the period we.refer to was mostly vir
gin forest. ' A 'small opening had been made
and a cabin , built by Mr. John Campbell,
whose successor in its occupancy Father
Lemke became. . "Now, when the venerable
priest visits the scene of his former; labors,
he finds a borough numbering sor3e?50Q in
habitants fine and tasteful dwellings," good
hotsls, thriving merchants and artizansand
a church among the very largest in Western
Pennsylvtaia. surrqunded by as. industrious
and thriving an agricultural population as
can be found in the State. And all this pop
ulation, industry and wealth 13 mainly owing
to the energy and sical of "one? man, and that
man Rev. P. H. Lemke.
We shall not dwell upon the clerical labors,
the privations, the toils of. Father Lemke,
as that is matter-for a religious rather than
a political paper. But all who read the8
lines will agree with us in admiration of the
moral worth, as well as the. genial and un
ceasing flow of kindness and warmth of feel
ing that characterized the man.
Father Lemke now residos at1 Elizabeth.
H. J.. whet ha is tlTe centre, as he was here.
ofa devoted congregation. - Long may he be
spared to them; and longlong-will he h
held in grateful rcraembrarice' by his reld
friends in Cambria' county, to whom he was
a father and benefactor. ; i - -
The Lemka Association, then, has Adopted
a worthy, came; and we- only hope its mem
bers; may emulate the virtues and genial
charities which adorned his life and character.

I think-you're all wrong-about the 'Rus

Our government is rather too complicated
too much of the people's time is taken up
with politics. "Why, last week I lost better
than .three days by the election in our bor
ough. You see Squire Lumkins ran against
me lor Burgess, and the contest was so warm
that I had to take an occasional to. cool off,
and by the tixne.the voting was ever and I,
was elected by a'handsome majority of one,
I was 'pretty well froze. It: took days to
thaw me into sobriety and health. .This is
a great evil, and howoften do. such evils
prostrate the besl men and the Honorable
men of our country ? Again, we have Bor
ough Councils, State Legislatures, Congress,
Burgesses,Governors, Presidents, Constables,
Marshals, Generals, District Courts, other
Courts and Supreme Courts., Now this kind
of thing wastes time and money. What is
the ;u3e of all this when the people can be
governed without it, and be more governed
too ,'if possible, and certainly better governed?
For instance, our. Legislature could be easily
dispensed with, and the State ba better and
more cheaply governed by the li.IL Co.
Now, in Russia things are more economi

no North and South, do getting drunk on

ty about religion, law, politics, or anything
else, the Czar fays,' I decide so and so,"
and it's all over. What a labor, time and

Dear Freeman The Lenten season is over,

and the sober faces of tha past forty days to

season just past. The last fa v days of Lent,
from Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday, are
obsefrefjt here with great solemnity and de-Votibn-4ha
e'nlire congregation turning out
from town and country to assist at the im
posing ceremonies prescribed by the Catho
lic' ritual and so well observed-and. carried
out at our St.-Boniface. On Saturday even
ing at & o'clock the ceremony of the Eesur
rection and a grand procession took place,
accompanied with music by the brass band,
"which acquitted itself well.:" The . church

the lars congregation present to; assist" at
the soul-inspiring services which so beauti
fully manifest the joy of the Christian i cele-i

The brass band again assisted at the services
and added no little to the enhanting occasion.
I have hitherto -neglected to notice the

. On - Saturday . evening: last, about 6ix
o'clock, a terrific storm swept across this
township coming from the northeast and
travelling nearly eastward, accompanied by
uchtj nan aau taow. loe wjnu.aone con
siderable damage, the full extent of which
I have been unable to learn, but from sev
eral parties from the country," yesterday, I
gleaned the followins facts: The storm
confined Itself to a breadth or track of about
half a mile Jor less, and swept alonsr -with
such fury as to entirely level to the earth
fences, trees, buildings; and everything
within its Tange.. - Of the damssre to partie-
ulaf individuals, 1 learn that Gotleib Pfeis-
ter. of. Blacklick. had ' his house unroofed
and barn blown down, and some of his stock
is said to have been killed ; Jacob Bender.
of Carroll township, 6table unroofed and
fences scattered, over the roads, making
them for the - time impassable : Benjamin
Wertier, a citizen cf Carroll town4 lost a fine
tract of pine and hemlock timber just ad
joining town." Every tree Was lsveled" to
the ground, and many of them twisted aad
broken to such an extent as to be -: useless.
Mr. Wertner's loss is estimated at six .-hundred
dollars.' A new shop at 4 the north em
end of. town, belonging to Hon. A. A. Bar
ker, was carried some five or six feet from
the blocks upon which it was built. Mr.
Lawrence Sieish . had just finished a new
coal house on Saturday, which was entirely
broken up and the debris scattered in every
direction The honss of Mrs. Lydia Bendon
was damped by having the weatherboard
ing torn from cue end and the porch severed
from the building. All the fencc!3 in that
part of town known asCampbellstown were
blown down and scattered by the wind.
Many full grown trees were uprooted, and
even ths saplings were '-twisted asd split . to
pieces, or the Hops taken off and carried
away by the storm. 'Beuediet Fou'k, of this
township, also- had his barn - badly "dam
