A Boors Coxvkktiox. The proceedings
of what is gravely called the "Union Repub
lican County Convention" appears in the
Johnstown TriLunt of last weHc. They
abound in fraud and forgery ; and we speak
confidently when we allege that Mr. C. T.
Roberts, the Kbensburg Secretary, never
prepared them far publioatiou. Quite a
number of delegates are named who wore not
iu the Convention at all. For initaBce-
(we quote from the Tribtuw) :
'Carroll, Joseph Davis." ' Mr.
, Davis was
not present.
"Chest, Jacob Kiblor." Mr. Kil.ler was
at home on his farm in Chest township, as a
good citizen should be.
Clearfield, Cclestino M'Mullin." lie was
nut in the Comentiou.
-Gallitzin, Capt. D. Miils, II. Gallaher."
There was no II. Gallaher present.
"Loretto, Henry Myers, Charles Miller."
Charles Millvr was not in the Convention,
but Henry Myers, a clever follow and good
wag, voteJ in a sojtrano for himself and a
deep bass fur Mr. Miller when- the names
were calkd, thus taking two clia-uce iu the
Radical lottery.
No delegate t-lcctioas were hel l ia pursu
ance of the call here or elsewhere, so far a
we can learn, and the Convention jfaelf,
tripped of the Rolling Mill, would have keen
less than a rump. fi. won VI not have becB
cveu the shadow of a shade.
We have received the Catalogue of the
State Normal School at Ediiiboro'. Qu tLe

of all who attend there. Ou the second page
is a Railroad Map, engraved for this work
and showing tho routes to Edinboio. We
like the fullness, clearness, aud conciseness
of the Catalogue, and the pkus and methods
of instruction described therein. Among the
advantages ef the School we notice and com
mend "a well supplied and well conducted
Reading Room," an extensive set of Appa
ratus, and a recognition of tho necessity of
study. The School deserve, and has received
extensive patronage, and is destined to still
greatet success. It is highly recommended
by all the school officers acquainted wlU it.
All our readers should semi for its catalogue.
Something for Everybodt. To house
keepers, to farmers, to mechanics, to every
body, the stock of merchandise constantly
kept by Mr. Geo. Huntley affords abundant
variety and embraces all manner of goods
which can be classed under the head of hard
ware, tinware, wooden ware, groceries, no
tions, etc. He has many thousands of dol
lars' worth iu his mammoth establishment,
and can fill an order of any kind prouijrtly
and at as low prices as like goods can be
purchased in towns of greater pretensions
than Ebensburg. He Is this week receiving
a new invoice of those celebrated clothes
washers and wringers so highly appreciated
by all who have purchased aud used them.
No housewife should do.without those labor

More Fpn and Feahtivo. Ths grandest
picnic of the Season one that is intvndsd to
eclipse any rural festival that has yet lake
place on the mountain will be hehi in a
most, delightful grove on the farm of Mr.
Samuel O'Hara, in Munster township, about
four miles from this place, on tke 12lh of
August next. Mr. O'Hara hitnpclf is ths
prime mover in the promised festival, and it
is needless to say to those who know him that
he is the right man in the right place."
The proceeds are to be devoted to a purpose
which is most praiseworthy and deserving,
and to all persons disposed to enjoy a day
of delightful recreation In the proper spirit
a cordial invitation is hereby extended.
Destroyed by Lightsisg. We learn
from Mr. Nicholas Lambourn that during
the prevalence of a thunder storm which
passed over the northern portion of our coun
ty on Sunday afternoon last, the barn of Mr.
Augustus Ysst, Jr., in Cambria' towuBhip,
some eight miles north of Kbensburg, was
struck by lightning and entirely destroyed,
together with all ils contents, consisting of
the almost entire crop of hay gathered by
Mr. Yost, wagon, sled, gears, etc. Nobody
resided upon th premise, aud tho destruc
tion was almost complete before the Are was
discovered.
AMONiUs. Mr. John Rodriguej ef New
York, has been rusticating in our mountain
village for a couple of weeks past, aud we
are glad to notice that his sojourn has bcon
productive of no little physical advantage to
himself, and doubt not tkat-he is enjoying
his brief experience of country life with pe
culiar zest and satisfaction. Mr. R. is a
young gentleman of noble impulses, correct
principles and commanding talents, and we
arc pleased to number him among ths most
esteemed acquaintances with whom we havs
ever held social intercourse.

Iocal Correspondence.
Altooma Citt, July 20, 1868.
Fiibd Mac Several straDge and startling
events have occurred since my last communica
tion to you. Mr. James Clark, assist int yard
master nere, met with a terrible death ou Wed
nesday last. TLe circumstances, bo tar as I
could learn them, are as follows : ' Mr.- Clark
bad just uncoupled a number of cars from a
large freight train, for the purpose of allowing
them to run down the yard, and while in the act
of giving the signal to the engineer to back
down against the detached cars and put thtm ic
rrroiioD, another train pulleil out of the yard on
the same track upon which Mr. Clark was stand
ing. Wishing the engineer to see the signal he
at i snip ted to pass to the opposite side between
the to sections of the train, but just at that
moment they came together, impaling him be
tween the two hampers, crushing him in a most
shocking manner and producing instant death.
Mr. Clatk had been employed in the yard some
seven or eight years, and on that very day had
obtained lea ve of absence to go home to harvest,
remarking to a friend that it was the last day
he was going to railroad. He was a man of
noble and generous impulses, always kind and
affable, and one of the most faithful and effi
cient men in the employ of the Compwny. His
remains were taken to New Florence for inter
ment, several societies here of which he was a
faithful and houored member accompanying
them to their last testing place. Peace to his
ashsi.
Our eity was jsst recovering from tht pro
found sorrow occasioned by Mr. Clark's tragic
death., when it was again thrown into the most
iutense excitement and bewilderment by the
announcement of ore of the most shocking su
icides and attempts at murder that it has vrer
been my Isrtune or rather misfortune to hear of.
A man named Thomas ilerkleion, formerly in
the employ of the i'a. ft. It. Co. at this place
as a nia-'biuut, but more recently employed at
Iteuova, had been paying attention to a very
estimable youttg lady of this city named iliss
Seibeats, and rumor has it that they were en-,
gaged to to married. 1) this as it may, while
he was absent in Kenova a mi-ndertanding
areiv between them, the sequence of which it is
not uecui&My to mention. MUs SeiberU, with
the instinct natural to a high minded lady, be
lieved keiself to be the aggrieved and injured
party, and collecting together all the trinkets
aud keepsakes she had received irom him, for
warded them to him at Renoa. With these
h also sent a note stating that all previous
arrangements or agreements between them
should bo of he past, and that if they ever met
"uiu it would be as strangers, ileikieiou re
fused t accept the packa'. however, and sent
it back to U i Seibcj ts ; and in a few days
after oanio to the city hiinelf. In the mean
time Miss beiberts had strange prtsentimeats
and fearful forebodings of the future, and when
he came positively refused to see him or have
any intercourse with him. After his arrival
Ueiklciou got on a spree and kept it up at a
feanful rate until Saturday morniur, w htm- be
became comparatively sobtr and exceedingly
loquacious, eupeetally to an iutimate aud con
fidential friend, to whom he remarked that there
would be a tragedy euactcd before night which
would make a good caricature for the Police
Oaaette, at tho same time rcqaesting his friend
to eixi his truak, clothing, etc., to his mother.
His frieud paid no attention to what ho was
saying, treating it altogether as bombast.
About ten o'clock the same day Markleion pro
cured a foar barrelled revolver aud repaired to
the scene qf the tragedy, (Mirs Seiberts' resi
dence, iu the 4th waid,) and enquired if that
lady was at home. Being answered iu the af
firmative, he replied th.it he wiohed to have a
private conversation with ber and also receive
njiy token of remembrance from him which she
might have in ber possession. Miss Seiberts
concluded to see him, bot took tho precaution
to have her mother pogted iu an adj oining room.
Alter receiving the trinkets, etc., Meikleion
remarked : ''Ella, if we cannot live with each
other we w ill die. together.!" and drawing his re
volver, he took deliberate aim at her heart and
tired. Fortunately she, in her w ild and terrible
excitement, sprang towards her mother's room,
thus saving her lite, for instead of the ball en
tering her heart it penetrated her shoulder, in
tlieting a very painful though r.ot dangerous
wound. Finding that he had not killed his in
tended victim Meikleion ran after her, bu; her
mother, hearing the report ot the pistol aud the
screams of ber daughter, ran to ber aid and suc
ceeded iu getting the door closed between the
would-bc murderer and his helpless victim
Merkleion then shot himself through the head,
and died almost instantly. The unfortunate
actor in this terrible tragedy was a man of lib
eral education and consideiablc talent, wkich,
if properly directed, would have inide hiin an
ornament to society and an honor to the circle
in which he moved. As a mechanic he had
few superior, and when at himself was a man
of w-arin aad generous impubes, and steadfast
ia his attachment to his frieuds. He was a sol
dier in the late war, aud was one of the bravest
of the brave. Ia his younger days he acquired
a Wste for nrel reading, and was passionately
and lamentably fond of perusing papers that
pandered to the worst passions and most de
praved feelings of the human heart. He has
left a poor mother, two brothers, a sister and
brother iu-law to mourn lus shocking and terri
ble death. Insanity is said to be hereditary in
his family, and charity forbids the thought that
he w as in his right Blind when he attempted to
take the life of a young lady whom he evident
ly loved, and destroyed his own in the appalling
utaaner in which be did.
A young lady, whrlc out shopping the other
evoniog, was examining some very fine goods
in one of our prineipal stores, when, by some
means or other, Urn or twelve dollars worth
stuck to her fingers. She did not discover the
fact, or thought nobody else did, until Chief of
Folice my gently touched her arm and request
ed her to accompany him into the august pre
eace of Alderman M , who kindly and
politely kiformcd her that she would either have
to procure bail or take lodgings for the night
in the city lock up. ' Fortunately for her the
prosecutor was a al lant and amiable young
man, and be proposed that if she would give up
the goods h Might go Elt free, and in this
war the -'little unpleasantness" waa got over.

so large a share of juvenile favor, enters upon
its third year with the November No., and also
increases its size nearly one half. This change
will effect a great, though doubtless cos ly im

attended the two years of ita existence, and to
the determination of the proprietor to make it

Thk Wavkrlst Novels. One of the mar
vels in literature ia the cheap edition of the Wi
verley novels published by D. Appleton & Co ,
of New York. It is an edition for the million.
The cost is but twenty-five cents a volume,
while the mechanical execution of the works,
from the elegant covers to the fine paper, beau
tiful type and handsome illustrations, makes
them fit volumes to place in any library.
Besides, everybody should read Scott's novels.
No man can rise from their perusal aud not feel
that he is wiser in head and better in heart.
They are as much to be distinguished from the

Dhmoskst's Monthly. This popular parlor
Magazine has won for itself an enviable place
iu the esteem of American ladies. Its useful
ness, tbe ameunt furnished for the money, is
only equaled by its variety, iu high tone, and
general literary excellence. In all these re
spects it is far in advance of its contemporaries,
and thoroughly deserves the high favot it has
won. It is marvelous that premiums of real
and great value can be added to a magazine of
such cost and character, for three dollar per
year. It only proves what is so often said, that
books and newspapers are the cheapest and best
educators in the world. Address, W. Jenninos

Dcia Times. July and August probably
witness less activity in business circles than
any other months in the year, but they are
the very months in which the cheapest
goods can generally be bought. Merchants
are the most anxious to make sails when
customers are scarcest, and reduce their
prices accordingly. Go to V. S. Barker's
cheap store and see if you don't find this to
be correct.

A HOOK FOR EVERY CITIZEN
-k. AND POLITICAL STUDENT.
DEMOCRACY IB TM BB1TED STATES.
What It ! I)ont,Wht It la Dolag,
aud What It will Do.
Br Ho.v. RANSOM H. GILLET,
Formerly Member of Congress from St. Law
rence Co., N. Y.; more recently Registrar
and Solicitor of the LT. S. Treasury
Department, and Solicitor for the
United State in the Court
of Claims, ic.
Dedicated, by special permission, to Hon. Ho
batio SkTMOl'a, and written ander the advice
and with the concurrence of leading Demo
cratic Statesmen.
In one elegant volume, large 12mo. of over
400 pages, bound in extra cloth, and containing
splendid Portraits, on steel, of Jefferson and
Jackson. Price, $2 00. Mailed, post paid, to
any part of the United States on receipt ot price.
This admirable work contains a complete and
spirited history of the Democratic party, from
its origin down to the present time.
It depicts the devotion of the Democratic
party to the Constitution and the laws, iu all
the crises and emergencies of the country.
It trices the conflict between Federalism and
Democracy, and contends that the Democratic
party has always been true to the Union, wheth
er disunion was threatened by Northern Feder
alists or Southern Secessionists.
It gives a history of every interesting incident
and event in each of the political parties.
It gives enrnently interesting sketches of
every Democratic Statesman.
The book, in brief, is a vast repertory of po
litical and historical facts, of profound interest
to every citizen, and of value to every politician
for reference. i
The author's experience dates far back into
the early portion of the century : he was an
associate of Silas Wright ; he enjoyed the con
fidence and friendship of Jackson, Van Buren,
Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, and Buchanan,
and, probably better th-vn any man living, is
acquainted with what the internal workings of
parties have been for the last fifty years.
Agents wanted to sell this book in every part
of the Union. Clabe and Democratic organi
sations will be supplied at special rates.
