A German woman on the Emigrant train west gave birth to a child at Latrobe, on Friday last, the conduc tor having kindly switched off the car and summoned a physician before the interesting epieoie transpired. We trust the little one will never need another "switching: ofi ' during its mortal career. Thos. II. Fagan, chirked with manslaughter in causing the death of Wm. A. Lane, in Hollidaysburg, iu July last, was. tried last week in the Blair county Couit, and on Saturday the jury brought in a verdict of "not guilty," the killing hiving been done in self-defence, as shown by the evidence. The little ''din key" engine used in the Altoona yard for shifting purposes ran off the track near Blair Furnace, a few days ago, went over an embankment, and after two complete roll?, brought up in a small stream which flows by. The engineer and fireman jumped off and escaped injury. An individual named Brown, not long since in Altoona passed several forged checks, drawn on the First National . Bank of Hollidaysburg, and Lis whereabouts is ncw being auiioiisly inquired after. He forgot .the parries in Ilollidays burg, and made tLe checks payable to his order, but the bank on which they were drawn pronounced them forgeries, and they were returned to the parties who had re ceived them from that ubiquitous and dis honest individual. Two enterprising gen tlemen in Altoona have commenced fitting up a Skating Rink in that prosperous young city. Won't ye local of the Vindicator have n ppmtunity to spread himself icically and inkically during the coming winter? Philip Baer and hid sen were injured by a quantity of coal which fell upon them in a roal bank in Wostmoieland county on Satur day wctk. The young man's injuries are of a serious nature, and may yet prove fatal. A mar. engaged in slating the roof of a five story house in Greensburg, fell off, on Saturday w-c-k, but fortunately brought up tin a scaffolding on the fourth story, and sus tained but alight injuries. Wm. Edwards, istetn years old, Fon of a blind man in Johnstown, had the flesh torn from one of lii thighs, and waa otherwise seriously in iured, a couple of weeks since, by being run "ver by ft coal car in one of the Cambria Iron Company's mine. A veio of lead .re lias bn found n-.ir Ilollid.tyehurg, by i'r. James Malone, a pvc-e of which was meHed by F. B. I.sett, and found to contain nbout 60 per cent, of lead. Mrs. Uiuliard "Edwards, of Cambria township, died "f con sumption, and was interred iu this place on Tuesday, and ou the evening of the same t!y her sister, Mrs. Dauiel Evans, of this borough, died of the same dUcn.se. Strange Isfatcatios. A Makes Several Attempts to Gmitnil Arron. Our worthy Burgees, Thos. B. Moore, Esq.. Home eleven months ago obtained a little girl from an orphan asylum in Philadelphia, and since then she has been employed at light v.oik about his house. She always seemed taithrul and trustworthy, but some trange infatuation, for it can scarcely be conceived that one so young could be so wickedly dc- raved, has induced her to attempt the de struction by fUe on several occasions cf Mr. Moore's residence. The first attempt, made some time during the pabt summer, resulted in the destruction of a quantity of valuable wearing apparel, but it was supposed that the fire was communicated by accident, and uo investigation was made of the matter On Saturday night and Sunday last, how ever, no less than seven or tight attempts of like character were made to burn the pre mises, but fortunately none of them proved bOcces:-ful, although considerable damage was done to wearing apparel, bed clothing, etc. These fires were communicated, as the little girl readily admitted when accused of the crime, by thrusting lighted matches into drawers, closets and other receptacles, but her only motive for the incendiary acts which he hat made known is that "the devil put her up to it." Of course she was arrested, and is now in jail. After her arrest she said there was one of the fires which bad not yet Wen discovered ; still the most rigid search failed to disclose its whereabouts, and it was not until Monday evening that smoke seen issuing from the roof of the kitchen indicated the location of the fire. The alarm was given and a large number of our citizens soon gath ered, and the fire was subdued before it had burst through the roof. This fire teems to have been set in a barrel of rags in the gar ret, where it must nave smouldered not less than twenty-four hours before manifesting itself. We have heard Mr. Moore's loss iu the recent fires and the previous one estima ted at $600. The little girl who committed the incendiary acts is about fifteen years old. Betting Extraordisart An eccentric bet on the election, between Mr. Wm. Mar shall, Democrat, and Mr. James Bigham, Republican, of Altoona, was duly paid on Wednesday evening last, the former wheel ing the latter on a common wheelbarrow from the passenger depot to his residence in East Altoona, some six or eight squares dis tant. The singular turn-out was preceded by a martial band, and the entire affair passed off pleasantly, and affiiroVd no little amusement to the lookers-on of both parties. Another singular bet is said to have been made by a Democrat and Republican in Wilnaore borough, this county. If the re turns of Tuesday's election show that Sey mour has been elected the Republican is to spend three hours in an ice house, and if Cradit should prove the victor the Democrat is to undergo alike imprisonment. Certain- ly an ice mode of proving a man's devotion to hit political principles. Amlrstid. Mr. George G or ley caused the arrest, on Monday Inst, of a joung man named Elias Edwards, whom he charged on oath with assault and battery and mayhem, In unmercifully beating him and biting one of his thumbs in & shocking mancer, besides taking a piece oUt of 0. one C; his ears with oetht on Sieciion day, 13th uit. YuUilg Edwards obtained the requisite bail for his appearance at Court to answer, and after wards brought suit against Gurley for assault and battery, and he in turn obtained security to appear and answer for the alleged offence.

Mr. Editor before this letter Teaches ofi to the eyes and ears of your noomeroua readers the elacshnn will be over, and the thing will be did, and the salvashun or dam nashuu of this great Union may be sealed. Still we hope that if Grant is elected he will not aid a Radical Congress, in tbievin', steal in', blasphemin and murderin'. Now the noise and the tumult of the re cent battle 13 over, and we are rubbin' our eyes and waitin' tew see the result when the smoke cleais away, and therefore it is a good :ime fur reflec&bun. There are some nice points to reflect onto. Why did not "loii" men vote for sich men as Mr. Linton, and listen to the couucil of sich men as General Coulter? Becase these meu only fit tew well. "Lcil" men didn't want the rebels whipped they only wanted them skeered. They wanted the war tew last twenty years or so, till they would get all the spoons, et cetera, &c. Politics now-a-davs are only another name for covetousness. Offis is the word, no mat ter what becomes of the government. Still the Radicals can't take the country tew the devil all tew once. One-half the pepil are still Democrats, who can pull back, like onto an old wheel horse, and ef the tongue chain doesn't break they can save the country by settin' their feet firmly against deviltry. There are three hundred thousand Democrats in Pennsylvania alone, New York and New Jersey are Dimocratic, and the majority of counties io Injiana are Dimocratic. Old Kentuck is Dimocratic, California and Ore gon is Dimocratic. and Connecticut is Dimo cratic in sentiment, at any rate. The mi norities in other States are almost as large as the maojrities all Dimocrats. So that they can at least help to jxiy the taxes, and keep the Ship of State from runnin' onto the mcclslrom of utter damnashun. The other party wi'l have the offises and the power, which is all they want, except a little nigger about elecshuu times jest enuff tew scent their political breath and, my word for it. Old Grant will hold the devils level in Con gress, and out of it. The earthquakes alo.ig the Pacific shore awoke up California and Oregon tew a sense of duty, and they will be rite, and if the Southern States get justis, thev will come in strong fur Seymour and Blair so strong, at least, as to frighten the Rump tew a sense of danger. I have hope for the better. Yesterday our little Bant ie Rooster came in and crowed three times in the house, and every time he crowed, he said, "Vvte fur Seymour and Blair!" and as it was t'lecshuo day I think there rau.'-t be somcthin' iu that and the California earth quakes. I was goin' to vote for Grant, but when I hearn the admonishun of the little, cunnin animal, that is more better entitled tew a vote than any nigger. I tuck the hint and voted for Seymour. The Republicans admit that he is the best man. They turn ed out 6trong tow see him at the station her. He talked fifteen minutes tew a tre menjus multitude of people. - ami they all said that he was the best and smartest man ever they seed. He don't muddle his brain by smikiu'and if he isn't elected his voice and wisdom may still do much tew save the country. The debt cf the nation is one tr ubh'.sirse Question, but it wculd be as troublesome under uimocrauc runs as unuer Radical plunder, and I sometimes th".ik that ! it wouid be a oltssm in disguise it tne The Radicals ere Dimorrats are defeated ated the debt let 'em also have of it. or revudiale. They freed i tic the pay in i:i2ger let 'em take care onto hun now. I hey ! tried to improve onto the works or the Al- ; might v. Let 'em succeed, or proceed, onto j perfecshun. God Almighty, when be made the two races, coul 1 easily have painted 'em j one color, if he had wanted 'cm to be one i people. The tanners have undertook the job. They understand skin. Let 'em fiu?h ! it, jest tew see what will become of human j or inhuman, wisdom. They are goin' tew j make all men "free and equal." Let 'em j try it. Agin they giv' all men. black and j white, a like quautity of money, of brains, ! ingenuity, of energy, et cetera. &c, in order j tew get 'em all equal, they will hav' did a herculean j b, and by the time they git all the niggers free they will have tew come j North and free about one-third of the whites. ; in and abeout our manufactories, who are in terrible slavery. In short, agin they git all men "free and equal" they will have did more than man ever yet did. S I W( uld say tew Dimocrats, "hands off!" Pay your taie, and behold this other miracle in silence! The Radicals are skeered already. They know the size of the contract. The graul rally that was tew take place on Sa turday nite the last &rand rally was a faleyur aud a fizzle. Providence interfered and shuck the ruin-drops down, till nobody could stand out. The lamps wouldn't burn. Even Grant whiskey wouldn't stimulate. So the last grand rally indicates that the spirit of this new creation, of "free and equal" people, is about tew expire. Then will come confusion, and darkness, and chaos! The expiring lamps of the tanners will reflect the shadows of abandoned carpet-baggers on the gloomy horizon, in out lines characteristic as tha pictur' of Barker in the last Freeman, and, finally, the con sciences of the irreligious, God-forsaken hypocrites who led the people astray, by their sanctimonious whimngs about the nig gers, will writhe, like onto a fiohin' worm, in that fire where tho icorms riieth not and the flames is not quenched. So mote it be. Yours, in the wool, JNabby, jr. Obqakized. The new Board of County Commissioners organized, on Thursday last, by the induction into office of Mr. Maurice McNamara, the Commissioner chosen at the recent election. Tht- board now consists of Messrs. John Ferguson, Blacklick township. John A. Kennedy. Carroll township, and Maurice McNamara, Conemaugh borongh. The retiring Commissioner, John Campbell, Esq., was one of the most efficient, obliging and attentive officers that has -ver occupied that position, and we cannot but wish him well in his future career in life. Mr. McNa mara will provo equally competent, faithful and accommodating, as indeed are the other members of tho board. After the organization the new board made the following appointments : Commis sioners' Clerk. Thomas Glass ; Commission ers' Council. Wm- H. Seckler, Esq ; Mer cantile Appraiser. James M. Ross; Janitor, J. A. F agan. Fibe. The steam tannery of Messrs Jones & Evans, on the south-eastern out skirts of our borough, cauchl fire on the r.f, on Thursday last, from sparks thrown out of tho smoke stack, but fortunately the alarm was given and the names were over come before much damage was done to the building. Some twenty-five dollars worth of leather, however, waa destroyed, and this was the principal loss. Att Able Efjobt. We are in receipt ot a Copy of the ad;uirb!e speech of Chauncy F. Black. Esq., delivered at Uniontown. Pa., on the 28th of September last. It is ona of tha ablest efforts we had the pleasure of pe rusing or hearing during the canvass j ist closed, and is entirely worthy of its distin guished author. BlacSbane In Pittsburgh. Pkab Fbmman Fv. been here longer than I have had pleasnreor profit. Pitts burg is dxvrk complected Very. It is mor ally black physically bkck politically black. The election returns'are very black tfureatively speaking. "The Democrars nominated a Blackmore for Mayor, and thought the name would make his calling and election sure but it didn't! . , The' Radicals got to woik and convinced their tribe that their candidate was more black than Blackmore. To increase their blackness, they even put a black mark on their tickets. Indeed, everything is taken for Granl-ei hue. They have Grant hotels. Grant res taurants, Grant oyster saloons. Grant every thing. I've been on the Grand (not Grant) Jury. It's a very laborious posish, as the late la mented Deihl would say. On Monday we were called, on Tuesday sworn, on Wednes day found a bill, on Thursday another, etc. We didn't ignore any bills, or anything else but work. We were finally discharged with thanks of U. S. Then we had home Supreme Court. I was there too ! There was much matter for ar gument, but everything was C. A. V., which generally means 'Continued till After Vaca tion." In the language of John Unit. I find that it '"don't pay" to carry cases up (it is all down hill from Ebensburg) to the Supreme Court. Both thestres are running full. The old theatre, however, draws the best houses. It is under the management of the Democracy, and is well patronized. I had the pleasure of "speaking a piece" on the boards of the old theatre myself on ona occasion, and brought the house down : but didn't stay for the benefit ! Jelly has been here in the character of common vouchej; but I shall give you a sketch of his eminent services on a future occasion. So, for the present, good bye. MacShane. Dkath of Pktr Kinney, Jr. We gave a brief account last week of the lamentable death of the young man named above, but nevertheless take pleasure in giving publici ty to the following notice of the sad occur rence, and the accompanying tribute to the memory of the deceased, from the pen of a much esteemed correspondent and warm per sonal friend of the unfortunate 'oung man : Fairvikw, Oct. 27, 1868. Dkar Fbi XMax It becomes my painful duty to inform you of one of the most disti easing oc currences w hich it has ever been our lot as a community to nio:irn over, for by it has been removed froni our midst one who was loved and icnpoted bv all as few men are loved and re- Fpected in this selfish world. Ou Friday even ing last Peter Kinney, Jr., son of our venerable mid much esteemed neighbor, l'ter Kinney. Sr . was returning frrin Johnstown, accompanied by his mother, when the team ran into a dee? ditch by the road side, causing tno wagon in I, iI'.ad n nr. ri.linir tn IMl.ot. 111.(1 the WlIC'III Hlllill IIIV) ...-.-. I . .J box comir.g down bottom upwards over oung Kinney and his motlier, it is supposca ia.it me 1 former nt to mined to raise the box sufhcieut to gire him room to e?cat e from his perilous posi tion, for when found hisheai was protiuding from between the hind end gate and the bottom of the box, choked to death It is conjectured that his strength give out af er ge'ting his head through the aperture mide by the drop down of the end gate when ne rai.eu ine lioi. and the weight of the heart wagon. U en lay partly on the box, soon put an end to li s struggles. His mother, strnngo to tell, was un injured when taken from under the box. Jt would be useless for my humble pen to try to portray the gloom and grief this sad occur r nee has brought to our entire community, for Mr. Kinney was widely known, and highly es teemed by all who did know him Upright, honest and straightforward in all his dealings, he won the confidence of thoe who had busi ness with hi m. Kind, obliging and affectionate in his intercourse with his fellow men, they give him as justly his due the name of gentle man in its fullest sense. But when we come to the nearer and dearer associ itioi.s of school mate and friend, we find a stronger aud more tender chord snapped a.under than generally binds human beings together. His apparent study to avoid givir.g offence or causing pain, his manly method of advocating his avowed principles" in his mild but firm manner, and his close attention to his duty, be it what it might, caused him to be regarded bv us, his young as sociates, with feelings such as nnimue a broth er's heart. It can be truly said that he left not one enemy on earth. It was a touching tribute to his memory and many virtues to see the im mense concourse of people that followed his re mains to their last resting place, lie was in terred in the Catholic cemetery at Johuslown yesterday, (Monday, 26th.) His mourning and bereaved friends have the deep and heartfelt sympathy of the cutire community. May he rest in peace. J. M. S. George R. Barrett, Esq. From the fol lowing notice, clipped from the Evansville (Ind.) Journal of a recent date, it appears that our whilom Cambria friend holds an im portant position upon the great road now being constructed in the West. His friends in this regiou will be glad to hear of his good fortune, more especially as he deserves it: U. S. SuavEY Mr. George Barrett, United States Assistant Engineer, aisihted by W. A. Hiestr, tarnsit man, and J. B. Doughty, with a corps of flagmen, chain bearers, etc., arrived here vestcrday. They are engaged in making a c ireful and scientific survey of the Ohio Riv er, in conjunction with others, from Pittsburgh to Cairo. Engineer Barrett, with his corpa, left a point eleven miles above Canneltou, a mouth or more aeo. aud have made about an avcrageof two miles a day . taking the distances, the bearings and depth of the channel, and such other observations as are necessary to attain the ebiect aimed at. The expedition is attend ed by a canal boat, en which the corjs live and lodge. I heir operations nave Deeu mucn im peped recently by the rise of the river.but they made nre progress yesieruay, naving passcu over about tour muci. anoiner corps com menced the survey here a month or two ago, and this corps will now drop down the river atd divide the coast with the other party to Cairo. The true distance from Louisville to Evansville by the channel is uscertained to be one hundred and eiehtv-four and one-third miles. The dis tance from Cincinuati to Louisville, we believe, is 132 miles. It had been formerlv given at ir0. while the distance from Louisville to this citv has been reckoned at 200. Engineer Bar rett will remain here with his corps for two or three days, writing up his field notes. Supbeme Couet. The Cambria county cases before the Supreme Court at Pittsburgh last week were disposed of as follows: C. 3t D. Moore vs. Clearfield Township School Di rectors and Pringle vs. Pnugle were argued ; licade for plaintiffs in error and Johnston fur defendants in error. Litzinger vs. Litz inger's heirs and Allenbaugh vs. Burk were ion pros'd, while the cases of Pringle vs. Pringle and Smith et al vs. Brotherllne were continued. Is It Fa ib? J. F.

A mono the wise sayings of Josh Billings no thing is more to the po nt than the remark that it costs a good deal to be wise but not a cent to be happy ; and if he had added that the wisest and happiest people are those who buy their reading matter, clocks, watches, jewelry, no tions, sewing machines, etc., at C.
