that he had the misfortune, just ono year
previously to the day and almost to the hour,
to have his dwelling in Gaysport, Blair co.,
destroyed by a similar catastrophe.
And what shall we say for those who la
bored ro zealously and tin wearily in preserv
ing their neighbors' property from the de
vouring element 1 We feel that words of
prnise would add nothing to the satisfaction
they feel in the accomplishment of a good
act well done, although their efforts were
beyond all praise. Especially did Mr. Wm.
Day and Mr. Alex. Eckels labor with the
most praiseworthy efficiency at all the fires,
ever occupying the mott dangerous and ex
posed positions, and always directing their
efforts to the accomplishment of the greatest
good.
Nor need we indulge In a word of warning
or advice at this time. These conflagrations
should teach their own lesson, and we trust
that the next disaster will not find our town
so illy prepared to combat the fiery element.

attention of Mr. Abram Meakin and family,
who reside in Cambrra township, a few miles

Ijipohtakt Libel Suit. As a matter of
interest to many of our readers we give place
to the following accuunt of a libel suit cop
ied from the Philadelphia Sunday Mercury
of the 20th inst., in which Mr. J. H. Davvs,
formerly a resident of our town, but at present
an extensive lumber merchant in the "City
of Brotherly Love," figures as plaintiff.
His clerical assailant seems to have forgot
not only his position but the common civilis
ties of life, as his tirade manifests neither
"brotherly loVe" nor christian charity, and
gave just grounds to Mr. D. for the proceed
ings he. Inaugurated.
Wha. Constitutes Libel. A Minisir
Couriered in the Quarter Sessions. Ministers
of the Gosptl are as apt to get into trouble
as any one ; and a libel case, tried in the
Quarter Sessions, last week, fully establishes
the fact that there are, in our midst, men
professing Cbri&tianity under Cover of "being
preachers, when in tiuth, they are "hypo
crites, and as slnfal as sin can make them.
The cae we baYe reference to is that of the
Rev. J. L. Richards, of the Welsh Congrega
tional Church. Twelfth and Filbert streets,
charged with libelling Mr. J. H. Davis,
Treasurer of the church, in a letter, written
by him in the Welsh language. A written
interpetration of the letter was submitted in
Court on Friday, and from it we present our
readers with that part cf it said to be libel--
lous.
Philadelphia, April 24, 186?.
JUr. J. tl. Davis Sir : I was on board
the sailing vessel WTolfoille ; I understood
you had been there recently, acting the part
of a graceless traitor, without shame. You
thought you could harm me by pouring your
lies ou the minds of strangers. Why did
you not inform them of your own dishonesty
and stealing1? You knew more about that
than you knew of my reputation or of any
one that belongs to me. If you are bound
to go around to say anything, tell them of
that man that swindles churches out of their
money and became rich through the labor
of his buperiors ; that he accomplished the
meanest things imaginable in business l the
man that is fond of drunkenness; a religious
man, at the Game time breaking the Sabbath
in the most disgraceful manner ; tell them
of the man that receives preachers at his
house, so that he may have a shadow of ex
case to blacken their reputation ; tell them
that you are fond of carrying fictitious let
ters) lull of the meanest lies that an eye ever
Witnessed, and fond of persuading people
that they are genuine ; tell them your great
est pleasure is to have poor people to select
you as treasurer, so that you can have an
opportuuity to swindle. "It is poor care
the devil will take of his servant," is an old
Welsh provtfb, and that you will 6ee before
long.

I do not understand what you gain by
selliug body and soul to the devil ; the
amount is little more than Judas got, for
what ' profitelh a man if he gain the whole
world and los his own soul." If a soul was
to be measured according to it3 knowledge
yours would not be worth much.
O W IT W V W
I have seen some mocking you while yctt
were uttering sham prayers, after I came
here : not you alone; but the other two like
wise. Is it old whiskey barrels and lager
beer tubs and swindlers and black legs, that
the Lord desires to worship himl? Do not be
deceived, the Lord is not mocked, "What a
man soweth that f hall he also reap." w
Not being satisfied, however, with giving
thi Treasurer the benefit of his clerical wrtith,
in the letter wr!t!en by hinl, Richards, it is
alleged, kept a copy cf the same and ex
hibited it to several members of his cbtrreh,
with the intention of ruining the cbRfacter
of his victim. The evidence ehrited before
the jury was sufficient to warrant a convic
tion. In our religious column next ween we
propose saying something1 more in regard to
this pastor of a flock.
Another Ffstital. In order to aid in
the erection of the baudsome new' church
which our Catholic Mends are pnshing for
ward with such coni 'rnefrd able' enterprise.
tha ladies of the congregation have made up
their minds to hold another festival, simi
lar to the one held last month, during the
approaching holidays. A number cf valua
ble articles will be offered for chances, among
them the irrepressible little mule and a
splendid gold watch, all of which have beei
donattid for the purpose. We hope to throw
further light on the subject next weetr.
Important from altoona. Our latest
advices from thi rapidly growing village at

Dear Freeman Saturday last was pay
day for the employees at the' rolling milL
and business of all kinds was in cobse
quence very brisk on that day and even
ing. Immense quantities of 'tanglefoot
was consumed, if wc may judge by the
number of inebriates who were floating
around loose, and the student of human
nature could find much to amuse and in
struct, and perhaps to disgust, by taking
observations of the various stages of
'booziness" to be met with on that even
ing. Here was an ifidmdual who had
got on just sufficient of a cargo to induce
a feeling of hilarity, and who was indulgi
ing his vocal powers with the popular re
frain, I won't go home till morning I"
which, with a few more drinks, would be
literally the case, for accommodations
would be furnished him in the "apartments
to let." Then comes another a stage fur
ther advanced in mild ebriety, who is cut
ting an irresistibly comic figure by trying
to put on the walk and look of a sober
man. It is amusing to watch the gyra
tions incident to a partial drunk of this
kind, as the victim makes a bee line for a
few steps, then ehies ofiT at a tangent, and
bracing up suddenly against a friendly
fence or curbstone, appears profoundly as
tonished at his inability to navigate pro
perly. And so . the different gradations
might be enumerated until we would come
to the "dead drunk," with its blank, sense-
less expression of countenance, indicating
that the attributes of the man have been
degraded to a level with the brute. Po
tent is the power of the still, and much
moral and social ruin can be traced to the
indiscriminate use of intoxicating betf-
ajres.
A man named Harnett, an employee of
the Mechanical Work?, met with a very
severe and painful accident last week. He
had been engaged with other carpenters in
making some repairs to the bridge across
the Conemaugh, near the depot, and while
assisting to move a heavy stick of timber
it accidentally fell upon his foot, crushing
it in a terrible manner.
On Saturday last a man named Calla
han had one of his fingers taken off and
his hand otherwise lacerated by a circular
saw at Dunfee's planing mill. He was in
the act of ripping a piece of scantling, and
his hand slipping; it came in contact with
the saw, resulting as stated.
A woman named Moses, who is said to
be subject to fits, made1 a narrow escape
from a terrible death one evening last
week. She had been walking along the
railroad, east of the depot, and it is sup
posed was taken with a fit, as sha Was
found lying senseless across the track by
two gentlemen who wefe walking down
from Conemaugh station. She was taken
to a house near by, and a Very severe cut
was found upon her face, produced, it is
supposed, by her head striking the rail in
her fall. Restoratives were applied and
she was brought to, and word sent to her
friends. It was providefffjal that She wa
found at the time, as the Phila. Express
passed within ten minutes after she was
picked up, and she would inevitably have
met with a horrible death.
