Tjiu L"HETT j PiC-Nic. We had the plca
.;: if ln'ins prenont at the pic-nic held in a
. ,;,ghtful prove, near the village of Loretto,
in Wednesday htt, and must say th.'.t we
iiL-ver witnessed a social re-uniou more in ac
. -rd with true enjoyment and proper deco
rum. We greeted many friends in attend
ee from Altoona, Johnstown, Wilmore,
niiil uther points, and they all concurred in
vxytestUuis of delight at the manner in which
i he affair was conducted. A large concourse
eop! was In attendance, and scarcely an
finery word even was heard amid the diu of
: :j'py vcmcw. We dkl not learn how much
vfi realized in aid of the worthy cause for
vkliith it was gotten up, but doubt not the
iuui wa exceedingly gratifying.
Dkap. Mr. Hjomas O'Brion, of Munster
Jowrhlitp, who, it wj.ll be remembered, was
rvLlc.vl in the early part of laet spring of a
ronsiJerable sum in gold and tilver, ditd at
Lis riidtnrein that township on Saturday

iii'jrmcd, Mr. O'B. was on his way to the
factory with a sack of wool, and accidental
ly fell from his buggy, receiriug internal"iu
j :rir-s of such a nature as to result in his
'icath, as above stated. Mr. O'Brien was
al-out 70 eara of age, and during more than
l;a'.f ls lifetime resided in Cambria county.
His remains were interred at the Summit on
Mouday. May he reet in peace.
Celestial PltENOMKNA. Most of our cit-
hrr.s were attracted to the streets, on Satur
day evening last, to witness a plaasing phe
rioma in the nppearance of the fky, which
Teas cricircled vith two or three large strips
of dark blue, having the setting sun for
their base. One scientific gentleman assured
v.t that they were produced by the reflection
of the tun' rays on the new store-room of
Mill fc Davis. We failed to "sec it in that
l;gbt." but it occurred to us that the proper
reflection for every person to make is that
the above gentlemen have reduced the prices
of all their goods in order to close out their
stock us far as possible preparatory to their
removal to their new quarters.
Jim Cram eh. -We notice clrewhere the
noinitiKtlon by the Democracy of Iilair coun
ty of our whole-souled and double-breasted
fiirnd and patron, Jim Cramer, for the office
cf KherilT. Jim entered the lists on his own
resmsibility, some five years ago, as a can
didate for County Treasurer, and was elected
i y a handsome mnjnntv over the Republican
r.oicinee. Ho has lct none of his personal
popularity since then, and although be has
a tanier horse to pull agamst in the person
of Capt. M'Keage, we still hope for his tri
umphant election this timo. We shall toss
f ur hat in an extacy of glee if Jim should
prove the winner m the race.
Glortucs ! What delightful and refresh
ing showers fell to our lot (and everybody
else's lot in this viclnitv ) on luesdar. At-
ter an almost uninterrupted drought of sev
rid weeks duration, the floodgates opened
nd the rain descended to bless and revivify
tU earth, and all nature now Beems as Ftnil
trig and as redolent of joy aa a blooming
younc mls docked out in the most gorgeous
arrnv from the cheap cash store of J. M.
Thompson, on High street, where everything
ia the mercantde line can be bought at the
lowest possible price".
Sometiiixg Xr.w. A want has been sup
plied ia our cooimunity bv the establish
rnent of a store devoted exclusively to the
sale of ready-made closing and gentlemen's
lurnishtns tr'xxw. Andv Majruire, in con
nection with a non-residont partner, lies
tipened out a full lino of god of this kind
&t his room on Main street, and by the aid
of a tnperb stock and moderate prices ia de
termined to win his way to public favor.
V.'e Lope to see the new enterprise liberally

LOCAL CORHESFOXDEKCtV
Johsstown, Aug. 13, 1867.
Dear Freeman We read somewhere of
an erratic individual named John P. deLeon,
who, a number of years ago, emigrated to
the new world and instituted a rigid search
for a fabled stream which would have the
effect of rejuvenating old age, or insure eter
nal youth. According to the best authority
on the snbjfct. Ponce deLeon failed to dis
cover the object of bis search, and had he
been around here last week looking for local
items he would have been equally unsuccess
ful. As your intelligent readers would,
however, be disappointed not to have the
usual infliction of a letter from here, I must
perforce write something.
I have heretofore neglected to notice a de
cided building improvement now in course
of erection on Main street. A three story
brick, with a front of about 34 feet and
running back 88 feet, is being built by Mr.
John Parke ou the lot adjoining the old
Mansion House property. When completed
it will be one of the largest business houses
in town. Col. Frazer has broken ground
for his new building immediately opposite.
This will be a two story brick, in size 23J
b3' 43. The brick-layers commence this
week on the new school house, on the cor
ner of Franklin and Canal Streets, and it is
the intention to push it to a rapid comple
tion. The foundation for a new Town nail, to
be built by a joint stock company, will be
put up this fall, but the building will not
be erected until spring. The site for the
new Hall is at the corner of Clinton and
Canal streets.
About $2,000 has been subscribed by the
members of the Presbyterian congregation
for the purpose of putting a tower and spire
on their new church. The work is to be
done immediately.
Tha roof timbers have been placed on the
new Methodist church and all the exterior
work will ere long be completed. It is es
timated that this church will cost $C0,000

Going Vert Fast. This is an age of
wonderful inventions. The minds of inge
nious men have brought forth machinery fa
cilitating and making labor easy. And
among the rest the Blacksmith has not been
forgotten, for I. C. Singer has invented a
machine which makes the process of bending
light or heavy tires, bands, &c, an easy and
very pleasant task. This machine is gauged
and numbered so as to tell exactly where to
place the rollers in order to bend any desired
diameter. Hundreds of references jan be
sriven. To get tho machine, address R. 11.

The company engaged in building the
water works have got into a little difficulty
with the owner of the-land upon which the
works are to be located. 1 he company con
sidered the price asked for the land as rather
exorbitant, and refused to pay it. Suit was
brought for payment for the ground and al
leged damages which the owner sustained,
and viewers having been appointed, the land
was appraisod. The viewers reported on
Saturday evening, and rendered a decision
to the effect that Mr. Jccoby had suffered
damages to the amount of $1,000, and valu
ing the land seventy-three acres in all at
$1,500. So the matter rests at present.
About a dozen boys were arrested on Sat
urday for assaulting young man and two
ladies who were riding in a buggy, about
two miles below town. The information set
forth that they had stopped the horse, used
unseemly language in presence of the ladies,
and threw stones at the party after they
had been permitted to pass on. The case
was settled by the youthful offenders paying
to the driver of the buggy $10 and footing
up the bill of cots.
A man residing on the "Island" had
about $100 in greenbacks stolen from him,
a week or two ago. He had reason to sus
pect a couple of ladies who had been visit
ing at his house, and who resided at Flor
ence. An officer was sent to search thern
for the missing funds, but no trace of the
money could be found. Moral don't keep
any extra money.

time-piece, kindly leaving the vest. No
trace of watch or thief lias since been dis

on the old tow-path, below the second lock.

Attempts were made to hold four differ

Your correspondent had the pleasure of
attending a pic-nic at Loretto on Wednesday

Enlarging. Our friend, C. T. Roberts,
is determined that "no pent-up Utica shall
contract hia powers," and hence he is new
putting a considerable addition to his store
room, which will not only enable him to dis
play to better advantage his fine stock of
jewelry, notions, dooks, etc., out win render
his store-room one oi tne largest anu neatest,
in our town. We trust that the additional
space will induce an additional rush of cus
tomers in that direction.

We would call attention to the advertise

not that it is sufficiently prominent to speak

A Gentle Hint. Mr. V. S. Barker no
tifies persons whose names are on the debit
side of his bocks without a corresponding
credit, that they had better soon meet him
on the square if they wish to avoid other ex
pense than the payment of their bills. An
other mode of aiding Mr. B. to lay in his fall
stock is to,go there with your money and buy
whatever merchandise you need. His stock
and prices will commend themselves.
Thanks. Harry Teter, formerly of Johns
town, and carrier-boy of the "Mountain
Echo" during part of the time we were con
nected with it. has our sincere thanks for
his kindly expressions in behalf of ourself and
