Dear freeman Two gentlemen of color, who were located iu the basement of the Post-office buildings, as tonsurial artists, de camped last week, and as a little token of remembrance left a number of unpaid bills with several of our merchants In the hurry of their departure they appear to have for gotten that several nic-nths' rent was due, as alto a gas bill, perfumery bill, and a variety of other little "Williams." This surreptitious absquatulation was a barbar ous cffYir, and it is hardly necetsary to remind their victimized creditors that the colored troops fought viciously." Tne pupils attending our public schools gave an exhibition on Thursday and Friday nights, in the audience room of the M. E. church. The performances consisted of dia logue, plavs. tableaux, Ac and considering that tiiev had but a short time tor prepara tion they acquitted themselves very ciedit nbfy. That part of the performance which cheitd most hearty applause was the rendi tion of the ".Model School." iu which Miss Sheridan as the (school marni, and a little daughter of Dr. Walters a the mischevious scholar, particularly excelled. A perform ance entitled "Pi eparing for Examination" was also very good, and the young lady who, personated the "Summer Queen" looked as pleasant as a pretty Miss with her first waterfall. Qiite a remarkable occurrence transpired here a short time ago which seems to illus trate the fact that this is a progressive age. A happy couple were united in the bords of wedlock in a neighboring city, and the same evening took passage for this, place. A few hours alter their arrival the "blushing bride" presented her liege lord svith a pair of boun cing twin. Whether the Vewly married" intend 'lighting it out on this line" or not, I really can't say, but would suggest that at the ruling pi ice of provisions they had better move at a Ies rapid pace. In con sideration of the twins putting in an appear ance within twelve hours after the connubial knot was tied for their parents tuey exhibit a great deal of animation. An individual named Culbert was im peached last week for getting obs'reperous, owing to taking on a large cargo of 'bcn y.ine." Tlie police had great difficulty in securing tho inebriated gentleman, and on'y succeeded when some individual, who had doubtless read of the manner in which ele phants are caugl t in the jung!e3 of Iudia. suggested the propriety of making a run ning nove of a bed-cord and throwing it over his feet and arms. Mr. C. was thus lassoed and hauled ir a sled to the "butile," where he had liisuie to fully recover. About 11 o'clock iast night the ice began to move on the Cotiemaiigh river, and as it broke rather unexpected, a number of peo ple were unj rpared for the disastrous re sults which followed. The writer hereof had j ist comrr.c need writing his Freeman letter when the h'e started, and as everybody was (indicting that Wood vale, the locality where S. B. domiciles, would be submerged, rnd sympathizing friends ere calculating his chat c for an imj romptu trip down the river, I naturally felt a little anxious, and when I looked out upon the mountains of ice, crashing and grinding along. I began to fear that tluir predictions wi uhi b-j verifirdj; but the ice passed off without doing any se rio'iM damage to tne vidage. At the old aqueduct it, gorged, however, and backing the water for a considerable distance, the entire portion of the third ward known as "Go.se If"aiid" was submerged. A house belonging to a German was swept away, but fortunately ti e inmates had escaped. ilie water rose to the second floor of nearly every house on this "Island," compelling residents to beat a hasty retreat np stairs. A number of cows, hogs, &c, were drowned, but at present writing I am unable to form a correct estimate of the damage sustained. Ski; Bal. CAnr.oi.i.Tow.-. ITarch 0, 1SC8. Dear Freemen The drizzling rain and vvarm winds of Friday and Saturday which suceeete! t fie intensely cold and stormy weather of tha early part of last week, have lef; our principal street- bare of sno-v, and many il our neighboring grain fields are entirely Ixreft of the protecting presence of the viigin mantle. Yesterday, too, was a bright, sunny day, and the huge congrega tion of St. Benedict's to k advantage of it to greet at mass the welcome presence of the vererable Abbot Weimar, who was among us, looking hale and hearty, as we hope lie may continue to be for many long years to c me. Notwithstanding the rapid wasting away of the drifted snow that impeded travel on our northern roads they are yet in a sad condition, and give but little promise of im provement soon. As a consequence our embrjo city is tomewhat dull iu a business point of new, and there is not much of note transpiring. A little Incident that occurred here not long since occasioned a remark that is so much like what the amiable Mrs. Partington womd say, that I caucot help mentioning it. A venerable maiden lady, who had a (uw days prior celebrated her 70th bir'.h-day, noticed seme bojs raising the stars and stripes, and as the national banner was un furled and its folds caught by the breeze, a little girl exclaimed : "See the flng!" "O! yes," said the old lady, -and long may it wag !" The listeners had occasion to imme diately turn their faces in another direction, and tho patriotic old lady remained in the blissful consciousness that she had well ex-, pressed a patriotic and loyal sentiment.

Pursuant to notice, a very lare and re spectable meeting of the citixeus of Johns town and vicinity assembled at the Town Hall, on Saturday evening, March 7th, when Dr. O. Sheridan was called to the Chair, Daniel W. G.-ughnonr, James B. M'Cielght, Mark Graham, V. II. Rosenst'eel, Wm. Flat tery. John Brady, George Wehn, L. B. Co hick, Geo. W. McGarey, Wm. C Lewis r.nd Maj.r R. Ryekman were appointed Vice Presidents, and Joseph S. Strayer was cho sen Secretary. Hon. A. KopeJin stated the object of the meeting to le the Altering of a protest and remonstrance sgainst tVe passage of a bill introduced on behalf of the Penn'a Rail Road and now pending in both branches of the Le gislature, viz: "An Act relating to railroad companion and common earners, denning their liabilities.' -. The first and second sections of ti e bill were regarded by the speaker as being full of venomous reptiles. The first section releases the Rail Road Com pany from all liability for personal injury to all persons who may be in relation with the Company. 1ven pa.-sengers. The second section confines the damages for death, or personal injury, to pecuniary damages, and even then limits the mmouut. which is in pal pable contravention of the GnstiMition. After the object of the meeting had been stated, on motion Messrs. D. McLaughlin, John Cox. R. II. Canan. William Flattery and John Carroll were named as a Commit tee to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, who reported the following, whii h were unanimously adopted : Whereas, On the 2-fth day of February a bill entitled "An Act relating to railroad companies and common carriers, dcGning their liabilities." &c, has been read fp place in the House of Representatives of Pennsyl vania by Mr. Westbrook, and by a suspen sion of the ru'es. before said bill was printed, passed to second reading. And tchereis. Sections 1st and 21 of said bill, if euacted and passed, would in a great measure, it it would not entirely, relieve railroad companies and common carriers from anv liability in damages to any p.ersou or persons injured by their negligence, and wouM destroy the sarred and constitutional right of trial by jury. Therefore Resolved, That this convention of the cit izens of Cambria county, and the members of the bar thereof, do hereby instruct their Senator and Member of the Ilonse of Repre sentatives to use all the efforts in their pow er to defeat the passage of said bill, and to characterize said sections of said bill as infa mous an outrage upon the righ's f the people a manifest vio'ation of the Consti tution an attempt to destroy the sacred right of trial by jury and an unwarranted and unconstitutional assumption of power which belongs exclusively to our courts and juries. Revolved, Th.it we hereby denounce the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and a;:y other company that has assisted in at'empt ing to have this infamous bill enacted as a law, and that while we will at all times cheerfully concede to said compauy, or to any other railroad company, all rights and privileges to which they may be jiutly en titled, we warn them that when thev at tempt to interfere with our most sacred l ights we will resist all such attempts with all tne power God and. nature and tue laws of our country have given us. Resolved. That we will hild up to public scorn and execration any member of our Le gislature who may so far forget his duty to his constituents, to himself and to his God, as to vote for tLi infamous b:ll. R-.-solred, That we instruct our Senator and Member of the Ilonse of Representatives to present and endeavor to have a bill passed in the Legislature, giving employees of rail road companies and common carriers the 8aine rights, as to the recovery of damages for injuries resulting from the negligence of their employers, or the agents of said em ployers, that any other person or persons are now by law entitled to recover. Resolved, That it is the request of this convention that our Senator and Representa tive cause these resolutions to be read before both Houses Resolved, That the thanks of this conven tion are du?, and they are hereby warmly tendered, to our S -nator, Hon. Harry White, and our Representative, Hon. John P. Lin ton, for the prompt and faithful manner in which the' have opposed this bill at the out set, and for the timely information and warn ing which they have given us respecting its character and the manner in which it was attempted to be pissed by a suspension of the nOes. Resolved, That all the daily and weekly newspapers throughout the State of Penn sylvania that are in favor of preserving the liberties of our people, and opposed to fraud and corruption, are re-quested to publish these resolutions, and also the first and sec ond sections of this bill, in order thai the people may have an opportunity of judging of its infamous character, and that they may be aroused to take the proper measures for resisting this outrage upon their rights which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has at tempted to perpetrate. Resolved, That if said bill should pass, his Excellency, Gov. Geary, is hereby re queste-d to veto it ; and if he should have any doubts about the propriety of doing , he is hereby respectfully requested to fix a day- and place to hear a committee of those whosa rights and liabilities are to be taken away by this bill, of which be will please give the Pennsylvania Railroad Company notice. Resolved, That James Potts, A. Kopelin, D. McLaughlin, W. II. Rose and R. H. Can an be appeinted a Committee to carry out the foregoing resolution and present our views to the Governor, if he should have a doubt as to the propriety of vetoing this bill. On motion the meeting adjourned. C- SHERIDAN, Prcs't. J. S. Stkateb, Scc'y. Pcnuc Meeting. On Monday evening last a meeting of the citizeus of the county was called at the Court Ilonse to remonstrate against the passage of a bill now pending in our State Legislature, limiting the pecuniary responsibility of railroad companies for in juries or loss of life sustained by reason of : - arai.uuia or oinerwisa. The meeting was duly organized by the appointment of proper officers, after which it was ably addressed by Dan'l McLaughlin, Esq.. who read the bill and exnlained its purpose aud intent, as interpreted by him. Hon. John Scott, of Huntingdon, was calN ed upon, but refused to address the meeting, as he came, he said, merely as a citizen, to listen to what was to be said. The meeting insisted on the gentleman addressing it, and in a few brief remarks he defended the Pa. Railroad from the charge of being the solo party interested in the passage of the bill, and Trorn the fact that there was nothing to show on the face ot the bill that it was the production of the Railroad Company or that might not be the "spawn" of some Insu rance Company or Companies. Cyras Elder, Esq., was called on and epoke. for . a few minutes on the subject of tho bilj. lie did not approve tb3 bill", nor did ha approve all the eienunciations heaped upon the Penn'a. Railroad Co. Samuel Singleton, Esq., Mas next called for and spoke for some minutes, condemning the use of the term "infamous" in the poster calling the meeting. R. L. Johnston, Esq., delivered a few re marks criticising the bill and harmonizing the various feelings of the meeting by offering a substitute for the resolutions that bad been previously e.ffered, which reselutien was unanimously adopted and the meeting ad journed. The following is the resolution passed by the meeting : "Resolved, By the people of Cambria county, in County meeting assembled, that we believe the bill now pending before the Legislature of Pennsylvania, entitled. 'An Act relating to railroad companies and com mon carriers, defining their liabilities and authorizing them to provide means of in demnity against loss of life and i-ersonal in jury,' is unjust and unequal in its operation, as well as unconstitutional, and we therefore do most colemuly protest against its pass- age. Hemlock, March 9, 18C8. Dear Freeman Amusing as the late elec tion in this township was, it wasn't a com parison to the feeble attempt of some con scientious Radical (styling him-cif a "Tax Payer") in the last number of the Johns town Tribune, to soft-solder the Democrats, and the style the fellow has of doing it. He says, in speaking of a communication that appeared in the Freeman of two weeks ago. some mountebank raises a political howl at honest Democrats for having the assu rance to get up an independent ticket for the election of township officers. That creature, who ever he may be, must have placed a very low estimate upon the intellect of the voteis of Washington township, if he thinks to frighten them from their duties by such low political truckling as is attempted by this disciple of lVmroy." Not at .aM, my dear sir, 3-ou are wrong shipped, for I deny that any Democrat had anything to do with theogetting up of this independent ticket, but that it was gotten tip by the Radicals, and the names cf Democrats put on the ticket with lh hope of electing one or two aspiring individuals who ar always inde- lonjotuic i'i mf.ir eji'iris 10 uiiwin notoriety, and I would just like this valliant "T X Payer" to give u the name of any Demo crat who was influential in getting up tlie aforesaid independent ticket. I place cn tii ?ly too high an estimate on tho inbTectual powers of the Democracy of Old Washing ton to believe that they could be induced to take part in any such proceeding. I never did have a very high appreciation of the ir te'lectual abilities of the Radicals in this lo cality, and perhaps estimated them too 'ow for this celebrated "Tax-Payer." I had not the most remote idea of frightening any Democrat from doing his duty. The thing c sn't be did. The illustrious departed tried that on without success, as you aro well awar!. Mr. Radical I hav; noticed in ray brief experience lh? the Democracy of Washington prv'.ly generally do their duty, and it would be absurd in me to think I f advising them on that subject. Such an idea could only have originated in the brain of some enlightened Abolitionist. Politi cally we are with Tomroy. His slang phrases, however, we never" saw equalled until this redoubtable champion of the in tellect of Washington township came to the rescue ; and we wouldn't toss a penny for the diftereuca in vulsarity, though it i al together like ly "Brick" has the trcs in'el ligence. Dn't flatter yourself, Mr. "Tax Payer," that you cin seduce any Democrat by your professions of honesty. We have he-rd that cry until we are sick e.f it. Whenever this great and enlightened Re publican party begin to practice what they have bceu preaching, we may then ba in duced to believe you, but not til! then. You need not have gone to the trouble of reminding us of the draft, your nigger cru- ide, &c, &c. We recollect those things very distinctly, and until they are forgotten it ia very likely we will continue to vote the Democratic ticket. liefoie closing permit me to remind yon, Mr. 'Tax-Payer." that your communication is deficient iu two important respects. You have not once said "copperhead" nor ' trai tor." Allow me to suggest that, in order to remedy this disciepaucy, you strike out Pomroy once and insert the former, and that Ttm leave out one &c and insert "traitor." I eibserve however, that, true to your natu ral ijstinct, you have not forgotten the elec tion of '58, as that is an excellent theme to fetch Democrats on. It ia well that it did not escape your memory. "W. Nf.wspaporial.
