Saw a blind man in the car, but feel confident that the blind man didn't see us. Ha was under the leadership of a young lad who had evidently seen enough for both of them.

Robbed round to see the corpulent Regis ter in Bankruptcy, and received from him a modearte supply of "Spinners." Next called on our typographical tutor, the editor of the Standard, and found him tho occupant of the largest, best lighted, beat ventilated, and alto gether the most perfect "prim t,hop" that we ever visited. Took a survey of tu pramiea ! iid the mrriherleps frats cf beautify tvpci with which the establighment is supplied, and ceased to wonder that such a neat paper and such neat job work of all kind should be cxecu ted by so competent a workman as our old boss. .Descended the stairs, entered the portals be neath, and stood in the presence of our big hearted, his bodied and big fisted friend, Jim Cramer, who does a thriving business in dealing out frech groceries and provisioas to the hun gry mortals in that vicinity who know wheie the most and the best can be obtained for the least money, and who also know where to be stow their custom upon one of the most worthy and accommodating gentlemen between sunrise and sunset. Allah ! Made it a point to visit many other talented bl'(r)gerp, not excepting our Teutonic musical friend, CO.Bur, (no i elation tVcoburg cloth,) J.M. Pircher, the well-known clothier, who understands what to buy and how to buy it, and is too honest a man to ask more thu a reason able profit on his goods when he sells them, and that other "perfect brick" (makei), T. II. Met with generous greetings worthy of bestow al on a better man, and felt that our lines bad indeed teen cast in pleasant places, with no de fedt in the casting. Spent the eveuing and a few oilier things most pleasantly at the festival then being held in the lar"-e and splendid school rooms of St. Mary's Academy for boys. An immense throng of fair women and stalwart meu crowded the commodious halls, and everything went "merry as a marriage bell." Invested ten cents in the name of tho three year old juvenile who calls us "l'apis." The stamp drew a larf e and lus cicus sponge cake bearing some very tasty hier oglyphics done up in white sugar. Rejoiced at the" turn events had taken, or rather at the turn the diminutive keg had taken on its axis, and was led home uncomplainingly by the woman who has promised to take care of us for the bal ance of our days. Felt satisfied that the festi val was an excellent institution, that the ladies and gents who were running the machine did it most agreeably and in aid of a noble cause, and that those who partook of the pleasares and refreshments so abundantly furnished, and so palatably spiced with excellent music from St. Mary 'a brass band, thereby contributed their mite in liquidating the debt which has necessa rily accrued in the erection of such substantial, commodious and hiagnihcent school buildings aa those which have been reared through the untiring energy and Christian zeal of the faith ful, devoted, beloved and most amiable pa3tor of St. Mary's congregation, Hollidaysburg. Sunday was got over without going fishing, if we except that kind of fishing which our Sa viour commended to St. Peter, and in that we bore out our patronyni by taking the part of the fish. Monday morning we leit our family to complete the visiting contract, and turned our steps homeward. On reaching Altoona found we had lime enough to make a pop visit to that prince of insurance and shipping agents one the biggest little men who vegetate in this or any other bailiwick Bob Kerr. We shall not attempt to describe the magnificent rooms oc cupied by our friend Bob, but all that money, taste and enterprise could make them they are, while the proprietor himself is a most genial gentleman nud experienced business man, and represents all the leading and best insurance companies in the country. Mr. Kerr is of course prospering, as every ni.in possessed of such untiling energy and pleasing address de serves t prosper. We cannot nor should not close this prolix sketch without alluding to one or two other im portant business houses in the embryo city. The first and we believe the only strictly whole sale business establishment founded in Altoona is that of Mr. John J. Potter, Virgiuia street, near Annie. Mr. Potter dealt extensively in Tobacco and Cigars, Wood and Willow Ware, Roots, Shoes. Notions, and many other articles in which merchants generally deal. He says that he can sell as cheap a his Eastern breth rcn, and that purchasers can save the freight between the two points by buying from him. We know John's word to be as good as old wheat, his stock to be fresh and complete, and to our mercantile frieuds everywhere we say give him a trial and ho will treat you honora bly and liberally. The mammoth establishment of the Altoona Warehouse Company, we were pleased to learn, is attracting the-attention of our Northern Cum bria friends. A Company with such facilities for doicg business, and such a commendable disposition to buy and sell on fair and just terms, cannot be lotg in winning its way to a liberal and appreciative public patronage. And now let ua say that we concluded our trip without further adventure worth mention ing, and arc again at home, fully prepared to execute all kind of job work or furnish the Freeman to new subscribers at the low price of two dollars per year principally cash. f ometiiisg extraordinary in the show line is to rn;ike its appearance in Ebenshurg on Thursday, June 4th. The establishment referred to is entitled "The Great American Exposition of Circus and Trained'Animais," undoubtedly the largest and most perfectly equipped troupe of ariy that Las started out this season. Tho company baili from Phila delphia, under the management of Messrs. I lemmings, Cooper and Whitby, und is everywhere spoken of in terms of highest eulogy. By adveHisemeut and supeib pos ters displayed around town, we learn that on the meriting of the day of exhibiti m the company will inaka their grand entrance in full dres.s procession, parading tho principal streets, accompanied with music, etc. The magnificent pageant displays the 6tock and material of the great show, attracting thous ands from the adjoining towns, and for its novelty and excellence, drawing immense crowds to w ituess the daring splendors of ths circus, and the performance of the finest menngerie of trained animals ever exhibited on this continent. The Coming Fair. Little ha3 been said of late in regard to the Fair in aid of the new Catholic church edifice in this place, but the ladies connected with the congregation have beou none the less busy in making ample prep-rations for the proposed fcslival,)and will open it out in "full feather" at the Town Hall, on Monday evening next. Of course it is hoped that everybody, strangers as well as citizens, will encourage by their presence and aid bv their means tlrs effort to secure material aid on behalf of so worthy and necessary au ohjec. Liberal provision has been made to entertain visitors in a pleasant and agreeable manner, and an abundance of good things will be served up to all who wish to indulge at any time throughout the continuance of tae Fair. A larg number of valuable and beautiful articles will be offer ed for competition, and an onnor- .u.wtj uc auorueu cverynoav to secure a classes in patronizing this agreeable mode of aiding an excellent project. Abhbstkd os a Sebious Charge. Thos. Mullaly,a resident of Washington township, was arrested(on Thursdayflast and brought to the jail in this place, charged, on oath ef his brother-in-law, with having caused the death of his wife in December, 1865. It appears that Mrs. Mnllaly was bnrned to death by carbon oil at the time stated, but the misfortune was always supposed to have been the result of accident, and the prosecu tion at thi3 late day excites much curiosity and comment in the neighborhood in which the sad tragedy occurred. The case will come before our Court for trial mext week, and it will then be ceen whether there is anything iQ the evidence to convict the prisoner of bo terrible a crime as the one charged in the indictment, A New Idea. One of our jokers tho other day, on reading tho deaths in a down eastern paper, and seeing the ages of many on the list to be eighty and upward, said he couldn't see how people afforded to live to such a gret age he wasn't but thirty, and hadn't enough money to hold out much louger these hard times. This individual should buy what he needs at R. R. Davis' store. A litt!e Evjrey 063 a Jong way at that cstibMshment. nanuiome ana desirable prize at a very small outlay. We earnestly trust that a spirit of liberality and commendable zeal will actuate nil LjDitoeia uriEs, Local akd Ghneral. The "Acrostic" of Leopold Mayer has been received too late for insertion this week. The ladies of Johnstown will decorate with flowers the graves of the soldier dead in that place, on Saturday next. Beautiful tribute. "Many Democrats" solicit a meeting of the Democracy of Alleghany township and Lotetto borough, at the Mountin House, Loretto, at 7 o'clock on Saturday evening next, for the pur pose of organizing a "White Man's Club " A full turn-out is desirable. There was forty gallons of the Metropolitan Oil sold in this place last week by M. L. Oat man. Pretty good to begin with. The Oil does not appear to be hard to introduce. There is nothing to prevent it from selling faster than any Oil in the market. It is the cheapest Oil used. The dead body of a rafttnan named Bowers, who resided in the vicinity of New Washing ton, Clearfield county, was taken through our town lust week, with a view to its interment at home. The deceased is said to have expired on board Oue of the rafts, near Marietta, while suffering from an attack of fits, to whieh he was subject. Mr. Evelyn Evans will give one of his admi rable readings at the Court House, in this place, on Tuesday eveningnext. His budget consists of some of the finest selections from the most popular authors, and the admirable manner in which Mr. Evans renders these choice .gems i? pleasing, interesting and instructive. By all means let him have a befitting welcome. A match game of base ball the first of the season for this section came off on the"Mouu taineer" grounds on Tuesday of last week. The contesting parties were picked nines from the East and West Wards. The game resulted in favor of the East Ward by a score of 26 to 34. On Monday of this week, the return frame was played, resulting in favor of the AV est Ward by a score of 30 to 3C We understand the home-and-home game will be played to-morrow (Friday) afternoon. C. W. Easly, of the Altoona Vindicator, presented his intelligent phiz to the admiring gaze of his many friends in this locality on Thursday last, but withdrew it ere we had time to say much more than "How d'ye do V Al ways glad to see Cas., but can scarcely recon cile ourself to the absence from our columns of his readable letters over the signature of "Sku Bal." He is making the Vindicator hump, however, and we hope the Vindicator will in return make a hump in his pocket book After a few months' absence from our table, the Teacujcls' Advocate has again put in an appearance, having just been rejuvenated under the editorial management of our talented younjj townsman, Mr. Geo. W. Cope. It now ema nates from the printing establishment of Messrs. McCruin &, Dern, Altoona, and is as neat in appearance as it is readable in contents. We trust the new editor will find the "posish" a pleasant one, and that the Advocate will nev t-r fail for want of support from the educational fraternity. Jac b Grister, while employed in adjusting a Sirap extending from a grindstone to a uruni on a shaft in a steam pi an in c mill at Ludwick. a couple of weeks since, became entangled in the strap, which encircled his les. breaking them below the knee, and at each revolution of the shatt his heid came in contact with the joist above and frame below. His head was horri bly mangled, scattering the trains and skull over the room in every direction He leaves a wife and children living in Hempfield township, Westmoreland county. If a mm is to be judged by the company he keeps we see no good reason why a company may not be judged by tho man It keeps, anil when a traveling exhibition like the mammoth coinbinatioa which is to exhibit here on the 4th June next keeps in advance such a gentle manly agent as the veteran Couldock, it is fair to presume, even if we had np other criterion to ju.lge by, that the coming Circus and Me nagerie is an entertainment of the most elabo rate and gratifying character. Mr Couldock is a first class business agent and a most agree able gentleman, and we let I sure that he is the forerunner of a first-class exhibition. Big Thing It's a ponderous article to be a newspaper man. A tellow in any other proles sion may be sm irter and better, but he can never hope to attain so much notoriety as "ye printer man." A chap that publishes a newV p .per can't poke his nose out o his own neigh borhood, or at least into one where another journal is printed We tried it on not long since and afforded a subject for no less than three newspaper paragraphs. The Hollidaysburg Standard, among other things, declared thai we "looked as fine as ,-iik." Perhaps we do. but like a sow's ear, we wouldn't terve to make a purse of. "Gleaner," the Altoona corres pondeut of the same paper, dubs us a rotable, talks about our good clothes and abundance of flesh, thinks the uiountniu air supplied us with both, and intimates that he has a good joke he intends to get off at our expense. What we are not-able to do he don't inform us, but we know what we can do, Jo "Gleaner." If the joke is not one of your dry old ones w can laugh with a loud guffaw, and gain more flesh thereby than we ever obtained through the me dium of "mountain air," or ' mountain dew" either. Our "good clothes" might suffer in the meantime, however. All tb s from one paper, but as if that was not enough, a'ong comes tho Altoona Vindicator with a Camt bell's load of ciiticiem which we ore expected to bear just as Easly. It goes the whole bog except the bristles, and to the color of them it tiles objections. Well, we cau't help it, but console ourself with the thought that our wife lays the "sweet unction to her soul" that we have the nicest hair that vegetates on any era nium in this "neck of limber" hhu we think we have the nicest her that ever was given to man t- comfort him. The feeliug is reciprocal she likes our h air and we like our her and nobody else cares a darn about the w hole sub ject iu dispute. So let "cry up' be the word. Goixo "Wkm." Last week we printed Lids for the sa'e of John G. Wherley's per s mal prcperty, to take place Saturday next John having purchased a farm in Cambria county end made arrangements to take possession thereof the 1st of June John is a good hearted fellow, a sound Dem ocrat and no doubt will make an excellent farmer, having been raised to the business In the ,4old country." We-wish him abun dant crops, a ready market and good health iu his new home. Huntingdon Monitor. Gardening The disagreeable weather of the past month or two has deterred many from putting in seed, but doubtless all will pitch in now and endeavor to make up for lost time. That no further delay may be made in th matter we suggest that the necessary imple ments, seeds, and all other articles requires for gardening, may be had at the extensive house furuishiug establishment of Geo. HunMey, who also has lor sale a fine lot of large and healthy tomato plaats, just tresh from the hot beds. Not to pile up the agony of eloquence too strongly, we state with great confidence that ladies attired in new styles of spring and sum mer d-ss goods bought at the rehowned estab lishment of V. S. Barker, on High street, will find the effect so rejuvenating that all the cares incident to domestic life will be as blithesome as kissing the dewdrops from the roses of beau ty that bloom in perennial fragrance in the Elvsian fields of ecstatic love I Old Grime is dead, that good old soul ! We ne'er shall see him more ; He used to wear an old blu coat, That buttoned down before. Yes, Old Grimes is dead , but we'll bet a V if he was living that he would go to Spence's Photograph Establishment and have taken a few beautiful photographs to distribute among his friends. Reader, go thou and do likewise. Clearly So. It is clearly so that M. L Oatman is selling Groceries at prices to suit all who call on him to buy. Consumers of coffee, sugar, tea, molasses, rice, cheese, tobacco and cigars, or)anything else in the grocery line, will undoubtedly save mtney by purchasing at M. L.

Friend Mac A very sad and distressing case of suicide occurred in this place on Thurs day last. A gentleman named Wahl. residing n Kiuanning, Armstrong county, came to th s ciiy a short time since on a visit to two of his sons residing here. It appear that Mr. W. bad the misfortune, some six or eight months ago, to lose his wife by death, and ever sii.ee that time he has been laboring under mental depres sion ol mind, frequently remarking that he was tired of living and wished to join his wife. In this frame of mind, no doubt, he'visited one of our drug stores and bought a quantity of arse nic, with which he returned to his hotel, and complaining to the girls of the house that he he was unwell and w ished to take a dose of salt., he with the assistance of the girls mixed the poison in a tumbler und swallowed the dose He then qu cily retired to his bedroom, aud summoning one of the girls requested her to in lorm his sons that he wished to see them As soon as they reached his bedside he informed them that he had taken poison, and would ere long die and rejoiu his w ife. The feell'mgs of the young men may be better imagined than desciibed. Suffice it to say that every means were employed, every antidote administered, to relieve the wretched man, but without effer-t. Considerable excitement prevailed on Wed nesday evening at the Catholic Fair, it being the evening on which the beautiful office chair was to be awarded to the mosr. popular Fore man connected with the Company's works. I think the b dlot box must have been "stuffed," for upon counting its contents there were found to have been over seven thousand votes in it Mr. Jos Wat-on, buying received the highest number of ballots, was declared the most popu lar Foreman, and consequently "to k the chair." It is probably the most costlv one in the State, having brought the fabulous sum of neaily Sl-iM). A few evenings after a gold headed c-me was awarded to the most amiable young man. The votes decided that iur cor pulent friend, Wm. Cunningna n, w as thechap. The Baptist Fair closed on Saturday, and proved quite a success. Several valuable arti cles were awarded by ballot, the J. S. of A. re ceiving the splendid sofa chair, Rev.Sembower the fine wreath and frame. Rev. Mrs. Baker and Rev. Mrs. Wallace other valuable articles, aud last but by no means least, the grand and costly regalia was awarded to Mr. Sam '1 . ries. I see by the Altoona Tribukr that those po litical scavengers to whom I alluded in a pre vious letter have succeeded in securing tho re rroval of the polls from the Woods House to a stable belonging to one of the black aud tan fraternity. You will remember that I express ed the hope that a certain individual who holds a high position in Court would not stultify him self by countenancing such an outrageous pro ceeding. But we were mistaken in the man, and I assure you it will be remembered, but not to his credit, for all lime to come. That half way snilly shaliy wooly Radical independent neutral paper, the Tribune, says that tho pcti tion praying lor the removal or the polls was gotten up and signed irrespective of party. It does not become such respectable editors as those of the Tribune to endeavor to deceive the people by such tw addle. The truth is a few of those black and tan scavengers, those God aud morality patriots, conceived the idea that they could play a sharp game by having the polls re moved from Col. Woods' hotel (a Democratic house) to a stable now occupied by mules, hor ses, as.-es and Radicals. They approached a lew Democrats, and with the only argument tiiey have, deception, informed them that Col. Woods desired the removal of the polls, which was utterly false, and by this disgraceful sub terfuge procured the signing of this petition ir respective of party. Yours, T. I. M. Carrolltown, Pa., May 25, 18G8. Dear Freeman : Your "Iago" having left the State, and consequently subjected you to the loss of the services of a correspondent here, we take the liberty ol addressing you with the notion in view of keeping you posted as to mat ters and things hereaways. So 'Andy,. Justice, and Right have tri umphed, and the disgrace aud ruin sought to be brought upou the country by the graceless scoundrels who are permitted to go unwhipped of the Justice that should long since have been measured out to them tso much a foot hemp are left to enjoy the infamous reputations they so richly merit and are to leave to all pos terity as a monument of the extreme to which sordid and degraded motives can carry con scicnceless intelligence and accidental iuflu ence. Well, indeed, may we rejoice ; aud the good citizens of this place took advantage of the occasion to cclehrate the renew ed hope that is ;iven us for ih future of our country by a bonfire, music, aud general rejoicing, on Mon day eteuing last J. C. Easly was called upon and made a few brief remarks; after which, rhe large crowd adjourned to a hall aud passed the evening in social intercourse and mutual congratulations on the good news of the ac quitttl of the President. Aud finally, the party adjourned with three cheers for the sue cess'of the Democratic party. On Thursday evening, a very pleasant affair took place here, which, though local in charac ter, I cannot but crave your indulgence while I speak of it. It had been rumored through liis cougregauon that Rev. Giles Christ jph, Prior and Pastor here, was about to take hia departure for another scene of labor, and to testify the esteem in which the Rev. gentleman was held, it was resolved by the De Lenike As sociatinu to present him with a snuff-box. Ac cordingly, a very handsome silver snuff box, lined with gold, was procured iu New York citv, and properly inscribed with the following : "To Rev. Giles Christoph. A token of es teem from the De Lemke Association. Car rolltown, Pennsylvania." And on Ascension Day, the 21st instant, evening, the Association known as above, accompanied by the brass band, which is part and parcel of it, marched to the Monastery in strict silence, in order to make the surprise as great a3 possible. Once arrived at the main door, the band struck up a National air, and immediately at its conclusion were invited into the spacious receptiou room of the Monastery, where Henry Scanlon, Esq , in a brief and tloquent speech, presented the snuff-box on behalf of the Association to the Rev. gentleman. The Prior responded in lan guage that evinced the emotions of the heart and appealed to the finer feelings of all present. J. C. Easly then replied to the remarks ot the Rev. Prior, after which sev; ral pleasant hours of social intercourse were spent, during which a vocal band, in addition to the brass band, as sisted iu speeding the "starry hours." The De Lemke Association feel under great obligations to and take this method of thank ing the Rev. Prior, Rev. Father Decker and other reverend gentlemen who took so much trouble to make the episode a pleasant one. Want of time forbids me from writing more. but I shall refer to this subject, as a matter of interest to many ot your readers, at some fu ture time. Yours, ic, U. NiTtu. Nature and Art. To view the beauties of nature in all their pleasing perfection you should rise early in the morning and take a stroll on the outskirts of our town, but to be hold the beauties of art you can get up at any time and repair to the clock, watch, jewelryjand notion establishment of C. I. Roberts, where anything from a steel pen to a sewing ma chine can be bought, aud bought at the lowest price lor cash. Now You See It. It has been a difficult matter heretofore to realize that Spring had really paid its annual visit to these bleak mountaiu tops, but the past tew days have set tled the question in the affirmative, and no one need now hesitate about pitchicg in and buy ing to his or her heart's content'of the splendid Spring goods so invitingly displayed at the cheap store of H.
