A grand High Mass of requium far the repose of the soul of the lamented Father M'OuHough, was celebrated at St. Augus tine on Saturday lpt, the anniversary of his death, by Uev, E. Burns, G.

It is pleasing to chronicle this evi dence cf the veneration and esteem with which the memory of a beloved aud failhfiil pastor is still cherished by n people among whom be was no well known and deserved ly i e pee ted. Tit:-: Xatiokal Ajtsiverjart. The ap proaching Fourth of Ju'y Mill be celebrated at different places tnroughout the county by social gatherings and geueral merry makings, and we doubt not that good cheer and pleas ant recreation will hold high carnival at each and all of them. Atmng ihe most notewor thy of these celqbrwtio'is is tke proposed pic nics at Gallitziu, Wilmcre.St. Nicholag and at this place, in aid of the respective Catho lic churches at those points, and we are sure that either of these celcbiations will afford as much fun, frolic and feasting as any per son can well enjoy in OLeday. At Gallitzin the pic-nic will be held in a beautiful groe near the station, and Prof. Eller, the celebra ted violinist, will lead tho band of music, while on part of the managers every effort will be made to render the occasion a most enjoyable and pleasaut one. At Wilmore, St. Nicholas and this place like efforts will be made for the accommodation and amuse ment of all participants, aud therefore per sons desiring to enjoy the festivities incident to celebrations of this character cannot go amiss by visiting ary one of these pic nica. An abundance of de!ic:cies will be prervided, the best of music secured, and every arrange ment made for the rational enjoyment of the glorious anniversary at these several festi vals, and when to these attractive features is added the fact that most commendable and deserving projects are to be aided, we are sure that these pic-uics will be largely attended and well patronised, as they will ertaiuly deserve to be. Thb Wilmobb Pio-Nic. We nee 3 scarce ly do more than announce, as we have al ready briedy done in another paragraph, that our Catholic friends at Wilmore design commemorating tha coming national anni versary by a grand pic-nic in a beautiful grove near that village. The only induce meDt that need be held ont in order to teeurt a largo attendance of plensure seekers, is the fact that the ladies of tbe cocgregafton , who are proverbial for taste, judgment and ex perience in such matters, have gon9 to work in downright earnest to make it, what pre vious festivals at that place have invariably been, a most delightfa and altogether iano cent and unobjectionable "feast of reason and flow of soul." There will be no lack of good muic, rich viands and pleasant social intercourse on this occasion, and we feel eure that the d-y will be ng-e-alfly and delightfully spent by all who participate.

The result of the late Fair, Mr. Editor, has entirely con vinced me of what 1 had long feared, that I never can learn to draw. When a boy at jchool I first essayed the art of drawing. I had no success. 'While my school-fellows would draw, even on their elates, all manner of objects, animate and in animate, I never could make myself under stood. I learned to write, tolerably, how ever, and this wits a great help to me; for by writing the name of the beast, or bird, or other object underneath it.it was pretty well UnreiAjux'd. I reeollect on one occasion the toucher drew tho picture of a house for me to copy. There it was, as nice and square as you pleeo, with the doors and wi&uows, and with iiven the smoke curling out of the chim ney. 1 tried my hand upon its counterpart, but it was no go it was a failure. It was no more like a house than a lump of chalk. I could not draw a house. I abandoued the idea in disgust. Since that time I have la bored in literature and pursued politics, but unsuccessfully, for whether I was announced to deliver a lecture or make a speech I never could draw a house! Further experience in life still further sat isfied me of my paucity in draicing. In tke political field, which 1 cultivated with great ardor, I found that in the general riiflie for office I alway9 drew a blank. 1 turned my attention to legal lore. I leurned Littleton, cogitated Coke, belabored Blackstcme, studied Starke, read Reports, but failed again because I had uo talent for drawing. I could never even draw oji infir ence, uud hence was unable to draw the at tention of a jury. I invested liberally at the late Fair in Al toona, but got nothing for my money because I could not draw. But the Ebensburg Fair complete! my discomfiture. I got the other Mac to invest with ne, confident that a pair of drawer must wiu. But we both failed owing to weakness, as I believe, in n.t being able to draw. Disgusted and heartily sick of my numer ous failures, I have only sufficient capacity in the way of drawing to liuw this article to a close. MacSuane. A well kxowx Citizen of Hollidayb aor. Killed Robert B. Johnston, Esq., Cashier of the First National Sauk at llolli daysburg, was killed in Baltimora ou Satur day evening last. He was standing on the track in tke Northern Central Railroad Do pot, and a team backed in, knocking him down and running over his leg below the knee. He died on Sunday morning while his leg was being amputated. Remains were brought to Hollidaysburg on Monday morning. Deceased leaves a wife (insane) and one son aged 15 years. A Natcal Phenomenon. A. piece of land about an acre in extent, near Laurels ville, Westmoreland county, is said to have sunk some ten feet within the past two months. Many people have flocked there to witness the phenomenon, but uulike the customers who visit the low priced mercan tile establishment of V. S. Barker, they have come away no wi&er or better off for their journey. Barker's is tbe place to go to if you want to get the worth of yonr money i& the beet kind of goods.

We think it would, as money can be aav4 in the trip and saved in the purchases. Th FaciT Seasoy.

Dear Freeman After a somewhat pro tracted absence your "Sku Bal" again rnak eth his appearance, and will afflict your nu merous and intelligent readers with a brief scribe. Religious matters deserve the preference in my list of "notes," and . I am proud to announce that two largts and elegant church edifices, one in courso of erection and the other in contemplation, will most probably be pushed through at an early day. The United Brethren church will soon be ready for the roof, aud when completed it will be one of the handsomest religious edifices ex teiiorly of which our populous city can bemst. The material used in building it is unhewn stone, and the style of architecture is known as the Gothic. The corner-stone of the new Welsh Congregationalist was laid yesterday, aDd the ceremouies were quite interesting. This church is to be erected on Walnut street, and will be a commodious and elegant building. The German Catho iic's design building a new church shortly, and the location will probably bo Railroad street. From matters religiom tho transition is easy to affairs worldly, and a glance at a new institution which has been on the car pet for some time may not be amiss. I al lude to the Forrest Dramatic Association, composed of a number of talented young gentlemen, who will give their first public exhibition ia Parke's new hall, on the evt ning of the 4th of July, Some very fine scenery has been prepared ; an excellent stage fitted up. and all the appurtenances requisite for the performance of first-class dramas have been arranged. We may look for our boys to distinguish themselves on that occasion, and may we not predict that this will be the means of introducing to an intelligent audi ence an incipient Forrest, who may yet make the walls of a city theatre ring with the applause which is the reward of theatrical merit. We had a somewhat exciting time over the delegate elections in the various wards on Satuiday, and as there were quite a num ber ef applicants for the various offices there was a deal of interest manifested. As your correspondent was an uninterested observer he can only wish success to the men wh.i may win. Our new water works is progressing ra pidl3 aud the main is laid as far as the roll ing mill. It is the intention to lay the pipes as far as the public square by the 4th cf next month. The work of building a pier for tbe new bridge over the Stony creek has been com menced, aud ere long a substantial structure will span that stream, on the site of the one which was removed by the Ice a few months ,-agn. ibe ground has been staked off for the new Town Hall, and doubtless the work of buildir.g it will be commenced immediately. Geo. W. M'Dowell has been elected chief of police, and the usual peace and quiet of our town will be restored. I believe the ar ticles which were called "maces" have been sold to the Johnstown and Somerset railroad company for cross ties on the new road that ain't going to be built very Foon. Hoping yon will hear from me soon again, I am. Everyour's, Sko Bal. Altoona, June 22, 1808. FiienJ Mac The friendly contest which has been going on for some time past for a beautiful toilet set, at the Catholic Fair, to be voted to the most popular and amiable young lady in Blair county, was brought to a close on Tuesday last. It was a question of no small magnitude to decide, foi you arc well aware that our county is famous for its handsome and worthy young ladies. There was quite a number of contestants for the coveted prize from different portions of the county, but Miss Agnes Stewart of this city, having received the highest number of votes, was thereby declared the most popular young lady and the winner of the prize. It might have been awarded to another equally mer itorious, but to one more deserving it could not have been given. Miss Stewart popsess es in an eminent degree all the virtues and accomplishments which adorn the female character. Perhaps the most valuable prize voted fur at this Fair was a wine set for the most pop ular runn'Dg engineer on the Middle Divi sion of the Pa. R R: It was awarded to Mr. John Carr, ons of the best, most efficient and deservedly popular engineers in the em ploy of the Company. Quite a sad and distressing accident oc curred here on Saturday last. A promising young lad aged some nine or ten years, son of Mr. John Cendo, had one of bis legs al most severed from his body by being run over by several freight cars. The Rads. had a lively meeting in this city on Saturday night. Mr. Bare, the Buckeye Blacksmith, (so called,) a Southern carpet bag "loilist," was the speaker on the occa sion. He said he was an old (lying) line Whig, seventy years of age, and that he never knew of so much talent (?) being em bodied iu any two men as is possessed by Grant and Colfax. Mr. Bare's macner is rather pleasing and entertaining, but his speech was made up principally of a rehear sal of that political slang and misrepresenta tion for which black and tan orators are so proverbial. The great question. Mac, which now agi tates the couutry with terrible emphasis is whether the sacred honor and integrity of this republic, and the liberties and rights of its citizens, shall be given over to be prosti tuted and despoiled by ignorant, insolent and degraded negroes, in the hands of cun uing, selfish, corrupt and unscrupulous pol iticians? If so the resplendent sun of all our glorious fame, ur intelligence, our prop perity and our pride must hide itself forever under the dark cloud of anarchy, ignorance, superstition and ruin : and a Republic once more glorious than ancient Rome must per ish and disappear from the face of the earth. Yours. &c. T. I. M. P. S. Oh, Mac, I almost forgot to notice a silly effusion in the last issue of your paper, the production of a correspondent in this place who signs himself a silly cr simple boy, I don't remember which. It was su perfluous in him to sign himself Billy, for any one who would take the time to read his production would naturally come to that conclusion. Now, I would kind'y suggest to this mdkebate and scavenger of Hall's of fice I mean henry joe and his , to re member two things: Thou shalt not lie; tbou shalt not steal. T. I. M. In Demand.
