LCCiL tO it It iisi0?.r US V K, Full Particulars of the Lale Flood Attempt ed Incendiarism Accident Rail Hood Meeting, -c, -c. Johnstown, March 1G, 1368. Dear freeman This tovn was visited last week by one of the most disastrous ice floods within the memory of our oldest citi zens. On Monday and Tuesday large quan tities of ice came down the Conctnaugh river, and as a gorge had been formed at the old Aqueduct on Sunday night, the water was forced out of its natural chanuel over the low ground known as. "Goose Island." and carrying with it a gieat body of ice, the lat ter locality was in a short time completely submerged. The families who reside in the vicinity of the river were with great diffi culty rescued, as in some of the buildings the ico was jammed np above the first story, and entrance had to be effected thro' the up per windows. On Tuesday evening another large quantity of ice came down and packed in so firmly u's to turn the water across into the old basin, at the head of Portage street, and backing up to Woodvtle, the lower end of the latter village was sx.n about five feet under water. The apprehensions of the peo ple residing on Portage street were consider ably aroused by this time, and they nearly all abandoned their houses, taking refuge on the other side of the basin. For several hours the entire body of water ran down Portage street and the old basin, and at 'Squire Flattery's residence, on Clinton street extension, it returned to its natural channel by way of the main street on "Goose Island." The water on the fiist floor of the 'Sqnirels residence was about ten inches. deep. The ice on Stony creek commenced running about 8 o'clock on Tuesday evening, and a few minutes tft?r wards the Kernvil'.e end of the toll bridge was carried away. The ice almost immedi ately gorged, and the structure was left in perfect condition on the top of the gorge. About 10 o'clock tho ice again started, and lartre quantities from an upper gore coming down, the pier of the toll -bridge was carried off aud tho balance of the bridge with it. Both portions sailed down in Noah's Ark style until they reached the confluence of the rivers, find there coming in contacwith the piers of the iron bridge they were, as I heard a young man expressively remark, "reduced to toothpicks." As far as I can learn no other damage was sustained by the breaking of the ico in the Stony creek. Tho losses and damage to property along tho Conemaugh cannot be acurately estima ted but the following are among the heaviest sufferers : Mr. Iletzline, house torn away by the ice r.nd carried about one hundred yard.", when it was ovei turned and almost entire' y dimoIislid ; Mr. B filnut-r, stable lorn down and a portion carried off; Mr. Clark, house, tartly turned over and about half of it un ?.r the ice; A. Akrrs lost, five tine hogs, five barrels of salt, as also, Lis building consider ably damaged. T!io prize steer was with great difaeuity removed on Monday morn ing, and thus saved. About thirty families j on "Gooe Island" lost a i;re;it portion of I their furniture and provisions. A lime house belonging to the Mechanical Works, and partly filled with lime, took fire and burned down. A large quantity of liquors was lost by tavern keepers on Portige street, as the water filled their cellars so fast as to prevent them from removing their stock. Two cows and a reat deal of other live stock were drowned. After tho ice had packed in around the hor.se of Mr. Lemon, some dastardly wretch walked over the cakes, and getting through an upper window, arranged combustible matter, including a can of oil, on the floor and set it em fire. The flames were observed by Mr. W. Headiick and L. Furlong, who immediately made their way to the house aud with great difficulty extinguished the fire. An attempt was ma le to start the gorge at the Aqueduct, on Wednesday even ing by inserting a charge of twenty-five pounds of gunpowder in the ice. The blast went off but the gorge didn't. About 8 o'clock that evening, however, it started of its own accord, and half an hour afterwards our terrified citizens were satisfied that all danger was past. Fortunately the channel was clear along Cambria borough, and no further damage was sustaiued. A rope ferry is in operation between town and Kernville, and preparations are makiug for building a temporary bridge. Of scents and incidents connected with the late flood I could fill columns, but as such things are only a "nine day's wonder" I forbear. John Strayer, Sr., an old and esteemed citizen of Yoder township, this county, died not lone since at the patriarchal age of 84. Mr. Henry Fisher had his leg broken last week, owing to a fall received while on his way to work, lie was going from his home iu Kernville by way of the hill around the Stony creek, and as the path was narrow, dangerous and blippery, he fell with the re sult stated. A public meeting was held in Council Chambers on Saturday evening, to take the preliminary steps towards having the Johns town and Souerset Hailroad iucorporated. A committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Scull and Baer, of Somerset, and Messrs. Potts, Eld r and Osboine of this p'ace, was appointed to prepare a charter, which will be presented-to tho Legislature before their adjournment. ku Ban. Altoona, March 16, 186S. Friend Mac On Tuesday last Jacob Gear hart, an employee of the Pa. R. R. Co., met with a very painful accident while engaged in moving what is known as the transfer table, lie missed his footing, and while en deavoring to regain it he was thrown on and fell under the revolving table, receiving in ternal injuries of a 6evere character. An incident which would have beeu amus ing had it been less tragical, occurred ia this city a few eveuings since. I have learned the circumstances to be these : A young man of sporting proclivities indulged a little too freely in tanglefoot, and after making night hideous with his nocturnal howlings became unutterably full and happy at last, and con cluded to betake himself to his domicil at a very unseasonable hour for oue of his 'car. The old lady of the hou--e remonstrated with the dissipated youth on his "cultitigs up" and "carryings on," and lectured him in such earnest and provoking terms that the young prodigal at length became angry, and assu ming a pugilistic attitude, armzsed himself by giving the old lady a striking example of his proficiency in the manly art. So con vincing were his arguments that tho aged matron soon became satisfied and threw up the sponge. A gentleman in an adjoining room, hearing tne iracas, repairou 10 mo field of action, and was considerably surpri sed to find an old lady in a reconstructed condition, reclining upon a chair, and a chivalrous young man in a belligerent atti tude, with his pounders tightly clenched, waiting for the old lady to come to time. Tlfe gentleman expostulated with the fiery youth in such a logical 6ty!e that it struck the young man that his arguments wero sound and convincing. They were certainly very weighty, and had the desired effect of reconstructing the youth on a peace basis. and rendering him obedient to the behests of the Rump Congress, or at least painfully im pressed by the castigatioo which hie own rump bad received in the process of rccon uti notion. Some of the unterriSed rejoiced hngely over.the news received a few days since that the light of old Africanus Thad. had went out, but their joy was of short duration, aa the news was too good to be true. The old boy is not prepared just et to be impeached. 1 notice iu the last Temperance Mndicator, a paper published iu an obscuro village (Williamsburg) in this cou-ty, a communi cation signed M. C which demands some attention. I do not know whether the au thor is or is not a member of the Rump Con gress, as his initials would seem to indicate, but I suppose he is, as I have a better opin ion ef any one outside of Congress or the Penitcntinry than to believe he would be ouilty of penning so gross and malicious a communication as the one in question. This M. C. says that the city of Altoona has more drunken ladies in it than any other town of its size in the Siate. Now what do you think of a man who has the unparaleled audacity and unblushing impudecce to make such an assertion 1 Every person who knows anything about the female portion of this community will treat this uncalled for slan der with the utter, supreme and sovereign contempt which it so richly merits. M. C. further sajs that he has seen "these so-called ladies, dressed iu the height of fashion, promenading Virginia street almost too much intoxicated to keep thc-ir feet." Is it possible that the temperance cause has to bo bolstered up with such b.re-faced false hoods ? that the characters of our ladies are to be blasted by a malicious and slander ous scribbler in older to secure a text for a homily on temperance reform ? It Is a shame aud an outrage thus to seek to cast odium on ladies who would shake the dust from their feet when walking . the same street as this base falsifier, lest they might be contaminated by his presence. I care not in what circle or condition of life you seek, ladies of purer morality, more correct ness of deportment, or ladies who understand more fully the duties and proprieties of their ktations, cannot be found anywhere than among the fair inhabitants of our young but enterprising city.

The first invoice of good that has reached Ebensburg this Spring, so far as we know, came to the ex tensive hotis fori, idling store, of M-. Qcre Huntley, in shape of various articles in the hardware line, a day or two since. This is the time of the year when hardware is most in demand, as builders and improvers vi houses, bans, etc, farmers, mechanics, and indeed almost all classes, need more or less of such things during the spring season part'u u'aily, and Mr. Huntley has evidently an eye to business in thus early prepai ing hiraself to meet the wauls of all persons in this way. Remember that he keeps the laig est and most varied stock of hardwaie in this community, and can do better for his cus tomers than smaiie-r dealers. Gone East. E.

Ho brought his furniture, etc., to the house the former Steward having removed his. The County owned nothing in the apartments occupied by the Steward that is to the best of my recollection. My memory is failing, but I believe the above to be correct. WM. PALMER. Mr. Kaylor bor.ght a email bill of goods from me for the Poor House in November last the ocly goods he ever bought from me. 1 sent up my biil in full, aud received an or der for the full amount. 1 never said he had au interest in buying from me. CYRUS HART. Mr. Kaylor bought some goods from us for the Poor House last fall. We sent up our bill in full and received an order for the full amount. Never Baid he had an interest in buying goods from us. He Dever bought anythiug from us but this oue bill. Mr. Kaylor never asked us to allow him any per centage on goods bought from us for the Poor House. On the contrary, be tried to buy those goods at the lowest cash prices, and they were sold at that. Three competent witnesses were present when the goeKls were purchased, and they are ready to testify to the correctness of the above. KUESS & CO. Witnesses Jacob FroLh-iser, Lewis Plitt, Geo. Englebacb, In the Fall of 186G I sold some corn at the Poor House. When I called fjr ray order Kaylor counted it over and said it was drawn too high. He told me he could cot alter it and we could fix it again, or he would buy Kome buckwheat flour. Thas Blatters re mained until a week or two before he left the Poor House. 1 met him in Ebensburg. He told me 1 owed a balance and had bwtter pay it. I asked who I should pay it to. He said "To me or to the Treasurer." By this time G. Oatman passed by. I asked him if he was the appointed Treasurer, and he said he was. 1 teid him I owed tha County $17 by an order 1 had receivd, and was willing to pay. but 1 wanted to know who the pro per persou was to receive it. He told me w hen the Board met he would call their at teotion to it. I requested him to drop me a few lines and 1 wou"d piy it, and he d 1 so. W. J. BUCK. I was Director of the Poor in 1S58 when Kaylor took charge of the House. The Coun ty owned nothing in the Steward's apart ments, ne brought his furniture, etc., with him. We were asked to furnish two rooms, but dccliued. He then furnished them at his own expense. Messrs. O'Uara, Palmer and myself held a private conversation and con cluded that the Steward's salary was suffi cient to enable him to buy his own furni ture. MICHAEL McGUIllE. To put these insinuations at rest, I have called upon the persons implicated, who thus answer for themselves. I could fiud out nothing of an order in the hands of Mr. Co ins. I kuow no such person. About the last of November the Directors went to Johnstown. Thomas went to Hart and Kress &. Co. and proposed to do the veiy thing which he would now, if he dared, charge otliers with doing. I do not ask did ho do this I say he did ask these men what per centage they wouid allow him if he would buy from them. Spurned, as he deserved to be, he meanly charges his own guilt upon others. For this trip these men charged the county $.i3. In all my cfficiai dealings I defy any man to say that I ever proposed anything of this kind. John Tierney brought my grain cradle to the Poor House. He wns working there. Only two cradles were ever lought by the county, and they are there now. I took one with me, but the assertion that I ever charged anything for it is a deliberate lie. I bought a basket and tub. telling Mr. Huntley that they were to replace similar articles worn out. If there is anything wrong in this I assume the blame. Those pigs I got from your brother in law, McDjrmitt, after he was in charge of the House. I took more fowls there than I took away, but what I took away 1 got from yourself. You stood by the sled when they were put in it. If you had any objection that was the time to make it known You have no ri;;ht to speak of it now. You were thero by my invitation. I was warned of your slanderous disposition. A year ago I bought with my own money (I never had a dollar of any other) from a pedlar some table linen. This I removed. How closely did some one watch ? Further, during seven years I urnished the table linen for the Poor House. It the slanderers will go to Edward Roberts they will find me per sonally charged with such goods'. I think a similar charge will be found on Shoemaker's books. I buy and sell cattle to the best p w sible advautage. The childish prate about "sight unseen" is too silly for notice. As to buggy hire, I took a very good buggy there. When leaving I offered to sell it for $25 the Directois preferred to pay for its use, $100. They also paid my wife $100. If either of these acts was wrong what power had I to compel such action 1 A majority of the Board were hostile to me. No Direc tor now in office ever voted for me. A sin gle negative would have defeated those mea sures. One Director cannot do business. Why did you do these things ? I had four cows, recently purchased. These I removed, of course. This, too, occurred on Jan. 2d.' The Directors were there, but nothing was said. They knew whose cows they were. I am asked almost daily to describe the character and condition of the stuff brought from town to the Poor House. It is said that it did not all come from one house. So far I have said nothing about it. During nine years I never had a dollar of public money always paid exorbitant prices always was at disadvantage on this ac count. The Commissioners and Directors were always at variance. The former, year after year, levied more poor tax than was asked. Of course we had the credit cf spend ing all this money. Legislation was finally obtaiued to restrain the Commissioners from thus acting, but to this day thousands of dol lais of poor tax remain in their hands, di verted from its lawful purpose. I have the docuaients signed by the Commissioners to prove this. No occasion existed for this mean quarrel. I parted from the Board on good terms. They sought something to di vert attention from their own indefeusible acts. I trust I have doue with them, not wishing to follow every stray insinuation, nor deeming myself able to contend with half of Ebensburg. These calumniators are welcome to all the self-approval which their manly conduct is calculated to inspire. If they consider it honorable thus to traduce men over the name of a pcrscm whom no" man recognizes as a reputable character, let them stick to it. If the Commissioners have nothing else for their hirelings to do, I sug gest that they discharge a few of them. Many people are anxious to know more of this Board's doings than is now known. Whether this information is furnished or not, they are reminded that it is wanted. 1 submit that the hardship is extreme of having to answer such moan insinuations. Having done it in this case, giving names, dates, etc., in each instance, I shall not no tice these defamers &uy further, unless they appear over their own names. I do my own writing, and am unwilling to encounter any adversary nnder such a guise. james J. Kaylor. . NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. WANTi:D-Agents for the sale of Lloyd's Great Maps.
