The Poor Eonse Directors held their
monthly meeting at the Poor House, on Mon
day, July 20th. Messrs. Daly and Byrne
-a-ere present. After the usual routine bus
iness had been attended to the following p
per was laid before the Board by the Steward:
Directors of Poor of Cambria Co., Pa.
Gentlimes : The late Ebensbnrg Conven
tion having by its action probably deprived
this institution of the services of a Director
in Johnstown, where nearly all the Poor
House business lies, and as you, gentlemen,
very well know that the result of this action
will be to very largely increase the expenses
of the Poor House, and otherwise to greatly
embarrass the institution, I decline to en
counter these new difficulties, and herebj re
sign into your hands the charge of the Poor
House. Please, gentlemen, select a compe
tent person to take charge of the House as
soon as may be convenient to all parties con
cerned. Accept, gentlemen, my sincere thanks for
your long continued confidence and kindness.
Yours, &c, JAMES J. KAYLO R.
Mr. Daly I regret that this etcp has been
taken. I hope thai it will be reconsidered.
Mr. Kaylor My action in this case is the
result of mature deliberation. My resolution
u final.' '
Mr. Byrne In this view of the case I
move that this paper be placed upon the
minutes and published in all the county pa
pers. Mr. Daly I object. This is to advertise
for a Steward. 1 will never consent thus to
send the office begging.
Mr. Kaylor From a very different view
of the case, I will ask Mr. Daly to withdraw
his objection, and allow these proceedings
to be published.
After rome discussion Mr. Byrne's motion
was adopted, and the Directors order the pro
ceedings to be published.
Dreadful Cask of Drowning. A pleas
ure boat containing four ladies and four gen
tlemen, capsized in Bar Harbor, off Mount
Desert Island, on the 24th ult., and all on
board were drowned. Among the victims
were Rev. Robert B Chase and wife, of
Philadelphia, who spent a portion of two
seasons in Ebensbnrg, and who had acquired
the reaped of all our citizens by their affa
ble demeanor and unostentatious pietj'.
Their dear little child has be.n rphaned by
this sad occurrence.
In connection with this awful catastrophe
the Portland Slur relates the following heart
rending incident : When the unfortunate
boat was about leaving on her tiip, Mr. and
Mrs. Clark proposed to take their little giil.
about six years old, with them, but the child
persistently refused to go. and Legged her
parents to remain behind. She clung to her
mother and begged her with sob of grief
not to go. But they regarded her fears as
childish, and kindly gave her in charge of
Ir enJa, and started on their excursion. The
little one cried as if her heart would break,
and when the stc-itrrcr Ifft no one hid darod
to tell her of the awful calamity. She won
ders why her pu.-t i-ts hrivc not returned.
a.nd runs to meet eo"V boat that comes to
tje sitre, only to rc-U-.rii v.!-u deep disap-jxiijtiijt.-at.
and everv ,u;.iiig c image is

Editor Freeman Iu reading your paper
to-day I noticed an error in "Skii Pal's"
letter that does not do justice to the Inde
pendent. Jr., B. B. Club of this place, lie
i mistaken as regards the challenge the
Juniors having challenged the Monitors of
Indiana. "Great preparations" were uot
made, although they were surprised to 6ee
our Junior?. The score of the game in Indi
ana was 27 to 81. or three to one, while the
score of the Somerset Club here was only 16
to 73. or more than four to one. The Inde
pendent, Jr.. is a pretty good Club, and
stood a better game than the Glade Club, if
it ia composed of boys.
You will confer a favor on the Juuiors if
you will correct Vlemit-takes made by "Sku

QrjACKEKBOs's Abithmetics. Quacken
bos's new Arithmetics claim to be the best in
the field, and we think not without reason.
Why 7 Because their rules and analyses are
admirably condensed. Because in number
and variety of examples they are unequalled.
Because in interest and. all other business
operations (on which they are particularly
full) they teach the methods actually used
by business men. Because, being written
since the war, they are up to the times
(which none of the old text-books are)
give present prices, teach that there is a
difference between gold and currency, de
scribe Government Securities, and show how
to find the comparative results of invest
ments in them. New York, Brooklyn, Jer
sey City, &c, have adopted them for their
Common Schools, and we think their merits
have only to be known to introduce them
generally. We see the Publishers (D. Ap
pleton & Co., of Now York) are advertising
for local agDts for these Arithmetics in
every county. .
What a Spectacle! Yes. we may say
what a lot of spectacle?, to suit all ages and
optical weaknesses, are comprised in the
varied stock cf notions, &c, at C. T. Rob
erta' watch an jewelry store on Main street.
Persons requiring Fuch aid bbould sample

Johnstown, Aug. 5, 1867.
Dear Freeman A special election was
held in the 2u, 4th and 5th wards on the
27th of last month, to fill vacancies in Couu
cil. Ou Monday night lust Council conven
ed, and the new members, rive in number,
having beeu sworn iii, they, after disposing
ol ti.e regular busiuest, pioceeded to the
election of Burgess. The names of A. Koite
lin, W. II.2Use and li. V. Hook, Efqs..
were suggested in connection with the oiiice,
and a ballot was, taken, resulting : Kopelin
8; Uose 4 ; Hook 1. The first named gen
tleman having received a majority of votes
in council, was declared duly elected to serve
out the unexpired term, caubed by his own
resignation. The re-election bf Col. K. gives
geneial satisfaction to the order-loving com
munity, and he no doubt feels highly flat
tered at the recognition of his former suc
cessful efforts to maintain the peace and
quiet of our town.
Henry Kratzer was on the same evening
appoimeu io me oince ot iijrough weigh
master, a position made vacant by the re
cent decease of Jacob Folsom, a soldier during
th'e greater portion o f the war, and whose
death was collaterally due to a wound re
ceived whilst in front of Petersburg.
Our town has beeu very prolific ol pic-nics
during the past week, no less thau seven
having came off in the various groves adja
cent. The pic-nic of the German Catholic
Sunday School was held at Wood vale ou
Monday, and every arrangement possible
having been provided for the innocent
amusement of the childreu, it was of course
highly enjoyed by all "meu'ets" aud maid-
let
a I rest.ni.
The picnic of the Turners on Wduesday
was a grand affair, and the general arrange
ments reflect the highest credit on the com
mittee having the matter in charge. A large
procession, composed of members of the as
sociation, and preceded by a brass b.iud, and
a beautifully decorated wagon containing 16
young ladies, one of the latter representing
the '-Goddess of Liberty," one -G.imauiu"
and another Columbia," paraded through
our principal streets and proceeded to tbe
grove ou the Van Leuneu farm, where every
body enjoyed thnclves to the top of their
bent. Tlie Red Men's pic-uic on Saturday
was also a grand affair, and although no
scalping dance ojiuncd, there was plenty
of the more civilized kiud. C uld auy of
the primeval Kis kiniinitas" have appeared
upon the ground, and sav the inoderu "lied
Mac" glotle along in the merry dance, he
would certainly regret that he uidu't Jive in
our day, and thus become a member of the
'.mj r jved order."
A little daughter of Mr. Henry Walters,
whilst playing with several youthful com
panions iu Lirs. Hamilton's unfinished house
on Muiu street, accidentally fell through the
ceiling joists to the floor beneath. A broken
arm aud several very severe contusions were
the result. Her injuries were promptly at
tended to, and the little sufferer is doing as
well as could be expected.
A disturbance was created at a public
houso iu the 3d ward, on Saturday evening,
by two men wno had takeu on rather an
overdose of the ardent. Matters were lively
for a bhort time, but our Burgess, happening
to be handy aud hearing the noise, lmu.eui
ately made a dtbctnt on the party and ar
rested the two whom it was biibsequently
ascertained commenced the quarrel. The
iuJiViduals in question were uuilcttd each
in the sum of 11,62 and their belligerent
j.ropensitie having cooled down they were
permi-ted to depart.
The foundation for the new W. B. Church
is about c mpk'ted, and the rcrit of the work
will be pu.sii.d forward as rapidly as possi
ble. This i.u.lding will be of unhewn stone,
suifaced at the joints, iu Mze 45 by 70 feet,
and from its peculiar style will be quite a
contrast to the other houses of religious wor
ship in this locality.
Another Johufctowner Las tcril a book-let
entitled "A Sketch of Johnstown and Su
burbs, and the Cambria Iron Co." The
town and suburbs receives the benefit ot
about eight pages, whilst the "great rolling
mill" and the tariff question occupy the
bal lance of the pamphlet.
Our young fiiend, Ed. Boggs, has migra
ted to Pi'oviilence, It. I., to accept a bitua
tion in a drug house iu that city. Ed. served
the requisite time to lit him for a first class
druggist with one of the most competent
men in the State, and his well known busi
ness energy and integrity will commend him
wherever he may locate. Success attend
him.
By the way, Sku Bal must find fault with
"one who was there" for not giving a de
scription of an interesting iucident which
occurred at that time. A young man
from a neighboring town, who is noted for
his suave manners and faultless style of
dress, went to the pic-nic referred to by "one
who was there." He was done up altogeth
er in white, aud whilst proceeding with a
light heart and springy step to the grounds,
he accidently slipped and fell on that occa
sion, aud the result was enough to appal
the stoutest heart. He was hardly conscious
for a few moments that auything extraordi
nary had occurred. bHt awake at last to the
conviction that all was a atern reality, and
after vainly trying for a while to erase the
impression, he returned to town. Another
interesting incident also transpired on that
eveuing, but as my letter is already long I
will not refer to it.
D. W. Harshbvrger & Co. have a splendid
collection of fiesh and pure drugs, paints,
oils, dye stufis and patent medicines, at their
drug' store on Main fctrcct, opposite the
Scott House, Johnstown. Ilarshberger is a
liberal man to deal with, aud buytrs can
rely upon any representations he may make
in regard to the quality of his drugs.

It is announced that new fractional cur
rency of the denomination of fifteen cents
will shortly be issued by the "powers that
be." and it may not be amiss to also an
nounce that J. M. Thompson holds himself
in readiness to receive the forthcoming cur
rency, or in fact any other currency that is
genuine, in exchange for merchandise, gxd
and cheap, at his establishment on High
Street. Go and see Jim, buy his goods, and
make room in your pocket-books for the
new currency about to be issued.
Autumx. The year is rapidly approach
ing the "sere aud yellow leaf" of its exis
tence, reminding us very forcibly that room
has to be made on V. S. B irker's shelves for
the display of a new stock of Fall goods,
which will ere long take the place of those
now being offered by him at mere cost and
carriage. Consult your own interests aud
aid Mr. B. in ridding his shelves of the fine
assortment'of summer goods he is now selling
very cheap.
Since the announcement by Messrs. Mills
& Davis that tbey would sell goods at re
duced prices in order to lessen their stock
previous to removal to their new storeroom,
quite a rush of customer have been wend

Still, however, plenty of bargains in all kinds
of goods to be had at their store, but re
