both these gentletmn found themselves just
as suddenly on the outside of the vehicle.
Mr. Parrish fell on top of Mr. Quartz, and
strange to say, was the only oiiC who sus
tained any injury, lie dislocating his thigh
by the concussion. He was conveyed to the
residence of Mr. Quartz, near at hand, where
medical aid was rendered hiai, ami he is now

Pohtagk, Sept. 9, 18G7.
Messrs. E li(or.s Freeman I don't wish
to dictate to you what you should print, but
I do think that, unless ycu are well paid for
inserting tho.-e base ball matches or games,
almost anj thing else would suit nine-tenths
of your subscribers just as well. What do
we care whether the Muflius beat the Knock
cmstill's or not ? We have those games here
every day. We had two real knock-him-stills
here at Portage station a fe.v days ago.
First, two men and one woman fc.ll out about
a wooden bucket. After pulling ihe bale oil
the bucket the woman and her man got the
other down, but the man below reached up
and caught the other's cheik between bib
teeth, and top man cried murder and begged
for quarters, when under man opened his
mouth, and thus ended No. I. No. 2 oc
curred on Sunday, 8th inst., when Engine
No. knocked Mrs. Kiating's steer stiff.
So you see we have some knock-him-stilfs
here too. As I said at the start. I don't
wish to ay what you should or what vou
should not priut, but for one I like to hear
from "MacShar.e" and "Sku Dal," and in
your paper of the 20th ult. you gave some
Try good family recipes, such as I always
cut out and preserve. If 3-011 would, every
week , occup3' a column, or even half a col
umn, with seasonable agricultural matter, it
would be much better than base ball.
If ynu can make any sense out of this you
are at liberty to use as much of it as you see
proper. Yours, &c, R.
f After the election we shall endeavor to
comply with our respected correspondent's
wishes in regard to establishing au agricul
tural department in our paper. As regards
base ball matches, our friend claims only
nine-tenths of our patrons as opposed to
their publication, and as these reports den't
occupy one-tenh of the space allotted to
reading matter, it follows that those who are
in favor, and not those who disapprove of
such publications, are the losers ia the oper
ation. However, if ,WT. R. will agree to oc
cupy the tpace every week heretofore given
to base ball matches, we feel sure that every
person will bo satisfied. Eds.
Can't Say. We can't say when J. M
Thompson designating in his fall and win

has just now as complete an assortment of
all styles and textures as any man or woman
could wish to select from, and that too as
cheap as the cheapest.

JonxsTowN, Sept. 1G, 1867.
Dear Freeman Saturday last was the
anniversary of the falling of the platform at
the depot here the memorable accident by
which over five hundred of our citizens were
injured, and resulting in the death of eleven
persons. The heartrending Mere at that
awful calamity are so vividly impressed upon
my mind that time can never eilace the hor
riblo recollection, aud the sad fate of one
of the most esteemed young ladies of this
place,- who to-day one year ago died from
the injuries received, has brought the tears
to the eyes of not a few who loved and ap
preciated her fur her many noble qualities
of head aud heart. Poor Mary! Little
dreamed the writer of this &s he beheld her
the evening previous to the accident, all life
and gaiety, that but a few short days would
elapse ere he , stictchcd upon a bed" of pain,
Would from his window see the cofiin, con
taining the ii. animate clay of the fair "and
gentle Mary Quinn, taken by to its final
resting place. Her pure and unsullied life
was one of unostentatious piety, and when
death was inevitable, it brought no terror to
her mind. If she felt pain upon the brink
of her eternal separation from earth, home,
and the loved ones, no word or sign betra3'ed
it. Of all the mournful occurrences of that
day none bo sad as the tragical death of this
fair young girl.
A man named McDonald, who was blown
up in the mines a few weeks ago by the
premature explosion of a blast, is lying in
such a precarious condition that no hopes
are entertained of his recove.
Another foot race was to have taken place
on Saturday between a young man named
lilackh-ck (a name probably familiar to a
few of vi-ur. readers) and David Patton.
The eouise selected was Portage street, from
the Woodvale bridge, to its intersection with
Canal stuet. Over one thousand persons
located themselves along the course, and
were a long time waiting for the dilatory
racers to make their appearance, but their
patience was well rewarded l3' seeing D. at
length makir g his dtbui in a gorgeous dress,
which set oft his muitcular fui m ar.d small
feet to great advantage. I wi-uld like to
give a full description of his lout ensemble,
but as it would riquiie too much time, I
will mere!- liken his dress to a red flannel
shirt r.nd led knee breeches, skin tight, and
a pair of ladies' white hose, hrrge tize, drawn
over his well developed calves'. His contest
ant was drestcd in "sombre black," with the
exception if the hose arrangement, which
was similar to R-ucklock's. Alter walking
a portion of the course, doubtless for the
purpose of disphi3'ing their symmetrical pro
portions and tast- attire, the3' proceeded to
the starting point. Here they de!a3ed sev
eral tnoie minutes, and each getting a swal
low out of a suspicious looking bottle, B.
allowed that time was up, and he was not
going to stay au3' longer, so without the
word to start from the judges, he started on
his own hook and went along in a splendid
dog trot, without even taking time to dodge
into an- of the numerous beer saloons which
abound on Portage street to invigorate him
self, making the half mile in the coiuse f
several minutes. The other racer meandered
slowly down, and after stating the c;uu to
the referees, substantiated by the sworn
testiniouy (sworn on a cop- of "Johnstown
and Suburbs') of the gentlemen who were
to start them, it was decided a draw. The
large and cnthuiiastlc audience came to the
sav.:c conclusion, r.nd all dispersed with, 1
grieve to sa3', some ground and loft3 cursing
from that portion of the audience who are
not church members in good standing.
The Iron R. 1. (meaning badly beaten)
Club were "swinging 'round the circle,"
last week, playing match games with a Hun
tingdon chin, the D. E. V. R. Club of Ty
roue, and also the Tyroleans of llairisburg,
who were in Tyrone on that day, the Moun
tain Stars cT Altoon.i. and . Mry
ciuu in one or the rural towns of this count-.
1 do not wish to be iron- ital, but I believe
our club did not biing home many trophies
in the shape of prize balls or bats. In fact,
I think the Irons were pretty generally
beaten, for I overheard one of the second
nine of the Kicks, making a desperate re
solve that their nine would c'-allonge the
above club imniedialelj-. The Iron club is
certainl' one of the best, if not the very
bcer, this side of Hatrisburg, but they under
took too much when they attempted to play
live games in five da3's, besides undergoing
the fatigue of travel, and I Venture to say
that when the return matches are played
here, the Irons will assert their superiority
over each and all their late opponents.
The Juniata club of Holiidaj-sburg will
play the Irons, on the grounds of the latter,
on Friday next.
The German Catholics of this place have
decided upon building a new church upon
the site where the present one stands. The
new structure will be of brick, 80x120 feet,
with arched and groined ceiling. The prepa
ratory work will be commenced immediate'.
The Turnvurien Association have decided
upon building a large hall, and as soon as
an eligible locatfbn can be secured the work
will be put through. I understand tho con
tracts for-material, etc., have already been
made.
The committee appointed to ledocate the
water works have reported several eligible
sites, below town, and a choice will this week
be made by the association. It appears to
be the determination to have this much
needed improvement as speedily as posrible.
The new bridge across the Concmaugh, at
Woodvale, Is about completed, and the work
of building a dike to prevent the encroach
ment of the water upon this growing village
will doubtless bo commcuced at once.
Your correspondent was made the recipi
ent of an exquisite serenade this evening,
given b3 the members of the Beethoven
Troupe of this place. The following are the
names of the troupe : W. Sees, basso ; Geo.
Saylor soprano ; A. Foekler, tenor ; J. Field
house, alto; Prof. II. F, Jones, leader and
instrumental performer. Without
to detract in the least from the superior
merit of the other performers, I am com
pelled to speak particularly of the rendition
of the beautiful song entitled "Zeline," the
leading part of which waa sung in faultless
style l3' Mr. Fieldhouse, one of the best alto
singers it has ever been my pleasure to listen
to. The reputation of Saylor, as a soprano
siuger, is so well known as to require no
special commendation from my pen, and the
music of the eutire troupe need only bo
heard to be appreciated. I understand it is
the intention ot this troupe to visit Ebens
burg in the course of a few. weeks, with tho
iutcntion of entertaining your citizens with a
number of their choice songs, Ac, and I be
speak for them a reception commensurate
with their merits, feeling assured that the
lovers of sweet music iu your town will en
jo3' the rare treat they offer. Sku Bal.
EJitor Freeman I think it a duty I owe
to my neighbors in Cambria county to say
that I this season purchased one of IIoiTheins,
Myers & Co's Combined Reapers and Mow
ers, and after taking off my whole crop with
it, I have come to the conclusion that they
stand in their own light in not having one,
for I have saved almost the entire cost of it
in one season, and it has given me entire
