Uar Freeman Great preparations are
being road hentabouts for the duo observ
ance of the approaching holidays and a real
carnival of amusement may be expected by
trauger visiting our towu during thae gen
eral vusatiuu ' tlays. Two grand 'Faire"
will Le iu operation, commencing on Christ
mas Ere, and as etery person who has ever
attended a festival of this kind is aware that
more genuine eDj.y men t can be extracted
from an eveai'Dg spent at a "Fair" than
from any other species of entertainment, it
will of course bo an inducement for the la
dies to make them as entcrtaiuiag as possi
ble. The Methodist Festival will b held in
their new church building, whilst the Cath
lics have secured the new three story build
ing recently erected by Mr. John Parke
the largest and best arranged building for
public purpoeea which our town could ever
boast ot. The latter affair promises to eclipse
auything of the kind which has ever trans
pired here, as neither pains nor expense hare
Dcen spared to make it a complete success.
The Cambria Iron Company of this place
has recently entered into a contract with the
Uniou Pacific Pail way Company for 16,000
tons of rails, in addition to eonsiderable quan
tities already furnished said Cjmpauy. The
rails called for by this last contract will be
sufficient to put down 180 miles, and is an
other evidence of the great popularity of the
rails rjaamiuctured at this point. This large
order will insure the running of the Mill the
entire winter, but the Company has notified
its tmpM ees that after the ICth of the pre
sent month their wages will be reduced ten
per cent, llow much bttter this reduction,
however, than tho suspension of operations,
which would have deprived hundreds of per
sons ot employment, a maioritv of whom
would have been reduced to abject poverty
at thia moat itclemeut season of the year.
l gave, in my letter of the 2d inst., an ac-
couut of an assault committed upon a Ger
man. citizen of this place bv twa young men
name Gore aud Baker. It seems that the
parties who committed the act were sent up
to your place to await trial, but as the diffi
culty has been compromised by the payment
of 4160 and all expenses to the injured man,
the father of one cf the boys goes to your
village touight, proporly equipped with the
necessary documents fr Che release of the
youthful prisoners.
An alarm of fire on Saturday morning was
caused by tbe flue of Mr.W. Hughes' tailor
shop taking fire, and although it for a time
gave every promise of a first class conflagra
tion, the prompt assistance of several men
and a few buckets of water, judiciously ap
plied, arresied the progress of the flames,
and no damage beyond the homing of a few
shingles was feustaiued.
ii. P. Robinson, one of the severely injured
sufferers by the platform accident, received
a commission last week, from Gov. Geary
as publits auctioneer. A good appointment.
A regular bruising match, conducted ub
der the rules of the P. R., came off on a va
cant lot near the depot last week, betweeu
two young men who pride themselves in be
ing adepts in the manly art of standing up
and hammeriug each other. A number of
well contested "rounds" were indulged in.
when one of tbe party planted a "deadner"
in the mug of his antagonist, and the used
up individual failing "to come to time," the
6ucc!ful houlder-hitter waa declared the
champion. Such disgraceful proceedings
should not be permitted to transpire in any
locality, except Chicago,
The preparatory steps have been taken
toward tho formation of a Drasnatio troupe
in this place, to be known as the "Kdwin
Forest Dramatic Association." The young
men who a.e taking the initiative ia the
movement are all possessed of considerable
histrionic tideut, and combine within them
selves the material for making a first class
troupe. Hope they may succeed.
Two young men of this place were enjoy
ing thOimelrei by indulging in a sleigh ride,
yesterJay, and whilst passing up Main St.,
in the 6lh Ward, the horse evidently came
to the conclusion that he could make better
time ; at any rate he -pulled out like the
pedestrian on his hundred mile trip, and tho
sleigh, by a sudden lurch, took a reeling po
sition the young men in the snow ditto.
Sleigh and shafts dissolved partnership, but
horse and shafts stuck together nobly, mak
ing a rapid circuit of town, and then striking
a tee line for VVoodvale, eventually put
down the brakes in the vicinity of tho wool
en factory, when the horse was captured by
the sleigh-riders who had beeu fo unceremc
niously spilled out. Skp Bal.

WTEKARY SUMMARY, - - xj
A Camdria County Pede'btrt.ax. Wes
ton's Portland -Chicago tramp has created
considerable interest on the subject of walk
ing in general, says the Hollidaysburg Reg
ister, and some of the newspapers tell of
Captain Barclay, an English pedestrian, who,
in the last century, walked eight milos in an
hour, and also got over 100 milts on foot iu
19 Lours. A friend tells u of some of the
tramping exploits of an Allegheny moun
taineer, name 1 fcinger, who lived in Cambria
county, and was a tinner by occupation.
He ti aveled several years ago, ard being over
six feet tall, his long legs enabled him to
march at about ag rapid a pace as any one
we nave heard ot. lie once walked from
Jefferson to Ebensburg, a distance of nine
miles, in GlJ minutes. He had endeavored
to make it iu an hour, but failed by a min
ute and a half, on account of being worried
along the route by persons on horseback,
who were interested in money staked iu tbe
result, ne aiso iramj ed iroin I ittsburg to

death while going to Cresson, on a Bled, on
the way to the army.
TnE Time Fixed. We have already 8ta
ted that our young friends of the Mountain

getting up of a concert in ordesto secure
funds for the liquidation of sundry debts,
and we uro pleased to announce that the
evening of Wednesday, the bth day of Jan

Orleans) has been fixed upon for the holding
of the concert. The entertainment will be

Hughes, a gentleman of considerable mupic.
al celebrity, and will consist of vooal and in
strumental exercises of the most pleasing and
entertaining character, and cannot fail to
prove satisfactory in the highest degree.
We trust that the boys will be greeted with
a large and appreciative audience. -
Tfachers' Institute. The first session
of the Annual County Institute for this coun
ty will be held in the Cjurt House in Ebens
burg, January 7tb, 1868. The programme
of exercises promises an interesting and in
structive session. Tho law requiring insti
tutes to be held allows director to grant their
teachers the time s pent in theso exercises,
and pay them the same as for teaching. It
is hoped that tbe various boards f directors
will pursue this course. Teachers, however,
should attend even if they are not paid for
the time, and those who do not will receive
a lore figure in teaching at the utxt examina

Editor of Camlria Freeman. Sin : For
some weks past two prominent individuals
have been discussing, through the columns
of the Frctman, tho official acta of some effi
eers in thia county. The public discussion of
euch Fubjects produces, generally, no good
results, and surely is not very interesting to
the numerous readers of the Freevn. But
when the proprietor of a newspaper permits
etich discussions to be published in the col
umns of his journal, would it not be-proper
for him to leave the decision of the points at
issue to the many readeis of his paper, rathor
than take side with one of the parties, and
that with, muck stverity towards the other,
as has lately been the case calling one par
ty a "calumniator," and charging him with
'turning Ishmaeiite and raiding his hand
against all the leading Democrats in the
county." These are grave charges ; but let
tnose anected by them vindicate themselves
if they can, for it Is not the design of the
writer of this article to censure or excuse ei
ther of the parties to this discussion, but to
ascertain who are "all the leading Democrats
iu the county.'1 In scanning carefully the
productions of that "Ishmaeiite" the reader
can see an, attack made, les or more, on tho
present Board of Poor Directors, one ex -Poor
Director, the lately appointed Steward, the
lately elected Sheriff, two Democratic Edit
ors, and one Republican Editor ; but on no
others, with perhaps one exception the
County Commissioners. Now, are these few
persons (designated by their official positions)
"atl the leading Democrats in the county" ?
And are all these few, eves, true and con
sistent Democrats 1 The Editor of the Fret
man will please inform us, so that true, hon
est and consistent Democrats may not be lead
astray by any others than those leaders re
ferred to in the late Freeman.
Let it be distinctly understood that the
writer of this article d. es cot take side wit h,
nor has he anything against, either of the par
ties to the discussion, nor against any of the
parties attacked ; nor does he expect any
favors from them, or any of them, except
good will, which he himself professes to have
for all mDkind. The only motives which
prompted the penning of these few lines
were a love of fair play, and, as already sta
ted, tho desire of knowing "all the leading
Democrat !u the connty" a knowledge, it
is hoped, the respected Editor will cheerfully
impart. As Huuble Democrat,

Mr. Editor I have for the first time been
prompted to solicit space in your journal
for the purpose of referring to a very pleas
ant surprise party which had its occurrence
in our midst night before last. The party
was held in the cooper fahop of Hon. A. A.
Barker, and was attended by a goodly con
course of pleasure seekers. The affair was
got tip in a most elaborate and enjoyable
style, and was very creditable to the projec
tors, Wm. Gray, Father Dougherty, John
Miller and his son. The participants as
sembled in tho ball room, which includes
the shed and a horse stable, (formerly used
3 a cooper shop,) where they danced and
capered with a perfect looseness the greater
part of the night. The room was capable
of accommodating sixteen cotillions, but we
only danced one at a time, so that the fun
might lat the longer. At the conclusion of
each cotillion we were presented with a glass
of whisky punch by our accommodating old
friend, Father Dougherty.' About 10 o'clock,
however, tbe- whisky began to taste short,
and Fother Dougherty, feeling obliged to
treat us to the best of his ability, started for
Carrolltown and soon returned with another
full quart. His return waa the fcignal for
supper, to which we all eagerly repaired.
The supper consisted of a little of everything,
but beans and pickles predominated. In
fact everything on the table was sour except
the vinegar. Supper over, we returned to
the stable, or cooper shop, and renewed our
depredations, and kept them up until about
8 o'clock, when all being ready to disperse,
and considering the ball at an end, wo went
out and threw down Archibald Farrell'd
fenoe, and departed to our respective homes
rejoicing. J. P.

Her mother lara'd her hard.

Tfee above excellent piece of poetry is mere

way of spending the Christmas holidays than

or father, a beautiful b.ok or fancy article

that a most praiseworthy method of indul

The leading claims to public consideration
which the new American Cyclopaedia pos
sesses may be thus briefly stated :
1. It surpasses all other work in tbeio I
ne and ability of the articles relating to the
United States.
2. No other work contains so many re-.
liable biographies of the leading men of this
and other nations Ia this rcect it i far
superior even to the mere bulky Encyclo
paedia Lritannici.
3. Ine befit mind m thia country hx
been employed in enriching its pages with
the latest data, and the most recent discov
eries in every branch of manufactures, me
chanics, and general science.
"4. It is a library in itself, where cvry
topic is treated, and where informatio n can
be gleaned which will enable a student, if
he is so disposed, to consult other author
ities, thus affording him an invaluable kev
to knowledge.
5. It iri neatly printed, with readable
type, on good ppc-r. aud contains a nioet co-
diotis index. .
"6. It is the-only work which invrs anv
thing approaching correct description., o'
cities and town of America, or crobrices
reliable statistics showing . the wondei ful
growth of all scttions "
Lvery one that reads, every oce that
mingles iu society, is con&tantly ruct'i'
with allusions to subjects on which he ne:
and desires further information. In conver
sation, In trade, iu professional lifo, on Hi
Urm, m tho family, practical questions aie
contiuually arisiny, which no man, well read
or not, cau always batisfaetorily answrr. If
facilities lor mertsuce are at band, they are
consulted, and not only is the cmioeitv -r-.J-

are suggested that will directly cent ribtii-r o

found at once, digested, conde need, stripped
of all that is irre'evani and unnecef ary, and
verified by a comparison of the best authori
ties. Moreover, while only men cf fortune
can collect a library complete in ail the de
partraecte of knowledge. & Cyclopasdis,
worth in itself for purposes rf reference at
