THE FREEMAN- THURSDAY, : : i NOV. 20, 1868. LOCAL AND PERSONAL ' Bjiie Mmtio. The man who helped himself to Dr. Yeagley'a borse and buggy in Johnstown, a few nighta ago, as noticed by our correspondent, was brought to thia place by Mnjor Ryckman on Monday, and lodged in jail. His namfl is faroer, and be hails from Somerset county. An owl which had perched itself on the unfinished tower of the new Catholic church hi this place was hot by Mr. Ilenry Myers, on Monday last. Several capitalists are said to be pro jecting a railroad from Huntingdon to Johns town, by way of Williamsburg and Xewry, and a charter for that purpose will be ap plied for upon the assembling of the next Legislature. The attention of all persons interested in bees and their product is invi ted to the advertisement of Langstroth's Patent Beo Hive, which will be found oa our first page. There can be no doubt about the efficacy of this improvement, and no man who has bees, or wishes to have them, can afford to do without this Hive. Under the bead of "Died" we find "Pure Wines and Brandies" inserted in the last Johns town Democrat. Very sorry for it, but trust they have gone where all pure sjnril-i go. The locomotives on the Pennsylvania Railroad, if coupled together, would form a train three miles long. Mr. M. II. Shan non, of Brookville, was relieved of $G,0G0 while snoozing in a railroad car, west of Pdairsville, a few evenings ago. Edward Payson Weston, the renowned "walkiet," will pass through Ebensburg. on his return trip from St. Paul to New York, on or about the first of March next that is if his "pay on" holds out long enough, to go "treat-on" and return this far. David Ball stabbed Job Sneese through the heart, near Slide town, Cleai field county, on Wednesday week, killing him instantly. An old grudge ex isted betweeu them, but in this case Suecse peems to have been the first aggressor, as he was following and stoning Ball, when a third party named Baer gave the latter a knife and told him to use it, which he did with the result stated. Ball and Baer are now iu jail. The deceased leaves a wife and four mall children. We have received two numbers of the Williamsburg Temperance Vindicator, which we find to be au excellent literary and local journal and au earnest ad vocate of the cause it has espoused. Could not the friends of temperance iu this locality get up a club for it 1 It deserves success, and they are the men who should see that it secures it. Judge Dean has presented the editor of the Williamsburg Vindicator with au oar of corn containing 1278 grains, and hence we take it that the aforesaid editor is pretty well corned for a temperance man. John M'Oolgan, Esq., we should have naid before this, has been appointed Post master at Wilmore. lie is the right man in the riijhi place, but the probabilities are that he wiu't be left there. More's the pity. A raiiroad from Hollidaysburg to Franklin Forge is talked of. The Cambria Iron Co. Lave leased the ore lands at the latter place, and if they want a railroad they have the capital and the energy to construct it. Mr. William Goodman was knocked down by the local freight backing upon him at Huntingdon, oa Monday, and the "caboose" car passing over him, fractured both legs between the ankles and knees. Hopes are eutertaiced fur his recovery without ampu tation. A man named Bauer was arrested in Huntingdon, oa Friday, for stealing a tnare in Snyder couuty. He had just sold the animal when an officer in pursuit met him on the street, identified him and the mare, and marched Bauer back to Suyder county for trial. - A slight change for the worse has been made on our Railroad. The train now departs and arrives is follows: Departs, 6:'J6 a. m.. and 7:15 p. tlt., 10:30 a. m., and 10:20 p. m. cu.; ar- JoiAT. By MjcShant. Jolly Is a char acter. He wis born in England. In the prime of life and usefulness he emigrated to the United States, which he has continued ever since to make happy by his presence. His avocation has been double that of Pub lican and Common Voucher. The duties of the first posilien are pretty well understood ; the duties of the latter will be found by the student of BlacknU.ee. somewhere iu hU very entertaining; Commentaries, where a certain Jacob Moreland performs that office. Jolly, though his means of loco-motion don't seem of the best, has a surprisingly line knowledge of the people of England anJ 'Wales. He has ascertained further the fact, which was not heretofore considered entirely clear, that they have all "lived in the United States five yars," and are very "much at tached to the constitution aud the still more remarkable fact that they are all men 'of fcood moral character," This difficulty is explained, however, on orthographical principles. He only swears to their good ilorrell character, and in this he thinks he is Morley (morally) right. We understand that not long since an un fortunate Welchman came to grief by in fringing on Jolly's right as common voucher. THAsrsamyrj. To-day will no doubt he pretty generally observed by our citizens, and business of all kinda will likely be sus pended for the time being. The churches, r most of them, will be open for services, we presume, but have not been apprised pos itively in regard to any of them except the rresbyteriau, where a discourse will be de livered at 10$ o'clock a. M. by th paster, Her. B. M. Kerr, on the subject : "The Na tion Its Reproach and Exaltation." A cor dial invitation is extended to-the public. . And here it may not be inopportune to say that there is no more practical or pleasaut mode of giving thanks than by giving the poor and hungry reason to feel that they also have something for which to be thankful Therefore, while you heap up your basket with all the delicacies of the season, do not forget that other tables may look bleak enough without your help. Ih asd Oct. We should have noticed ere this the fact that Mr. Christian Singer was sworn in as one of our Poor House Di rectors, to which he was elected in October, at the last meeting of the Board. Mr. S. will make an honest and efficient Director, and is just the kind of a man that political parties should elect to office. Mr. Jos. Dai ey, the out-going Director, performed the duties of the position faithfully and well, and has our good wishes in his retirement. The Board now consists of Messrs. Henry Byrne, of Carroll, John D. Thomas, of Ebensburg, and Christian Snyder, of Jackson. Just as good material as the county affords in fact, a full tem and a bull-dog under the wagon. Startling Discovery. There Is said to have been a man found in one of our Eastern cities who sells goods cheaper than our over-the-way neighbor, Mr. V. S. Barker. We can scarcely credit the story, and advise our readers not to trouble themselves about it, but to continue in well doing by patronizing the man who keeps a most superb and a3pp!a ftoe, nd kaowa hvw to rir har- Local Correspondence. JoiTNSTOwjr, Nov. 23, 186S. Ma. Editor There U quite a quantity of local matter this week. 8now fell on Friday in every localAlf. Our intelligent BurgesH has caused a new roof to be put uiton the old Market-house, which gives it a I sensible appearanes. The Brethren Church baa the dw slate roof completed, which serves as a glorious armor to ward ofT the ball stones and the darts of the devil. The water pipes are nearly all laid through the principal streets, and the borough authori ties are having stones impounded in the places that were torn up. We have so much pipe now that we can smolce all winter with out a mere sham, and bo much water that we can wet our pipes when we please. The proprietors of the Union Hall made quite a haul the two nights that the Conti nental troupe entertained the people. The Continentals are the best troupe on the con tinent, and their performances contented six hundred persons each night. Then came the Sandford troupe on Monday night The Satford troupe is sans reproach and afford ed abundant amusement. Their operations were in the true Opera -tyle, and they drew a large house that is, they drew about 500 persons In one night, ignratively speaking. The Hall will hold eight hundred persons, and has that many neat, round back, fancy chairs, placed in semi-circular rows. The chairs are not exactly round backs, but have a kind of oval "Grecian bend," which adds much to the appearance of the Hall. The public schools will close in about three weeks probably, like Grant's travels, without any tZewow-stration. Great preparations are made for the ob servance of Thanksgiving day. We saw a man taking home a turkey and a peck of potatoes. That was ourself. The Republi cans will give thanks that Gen. Grant is elected, which liberty we freely grant, and the Democrats will give thanks that no icore person is elected. The Grantees of good dinners will give thanks to the Grant ors, and, as a German would say. Thanks giving will be a Grant affair. The lock-up will probably be illuminated in the evening, and as it is just opposite the M. E. Church, it will cast that beautiful and massive build ing ecrirely in the shade. The Iron Bridge over 8tony Creek is now about completed. It is a substantial and beautiful structure. The only objection to it is that the roof leaks when it rains. The bottom would have leaked too, but for the fact that the openings at the sides have been boarded up. The fire engine house has a tower or look out built upon it. aud a bell of 1500 lbs. weight is about being placed withiu the tower, so that an alarm may readily be given when there is a fire. It is so con structed that a false alarm may be given oc casionally. A great number of store roms and pri vate residences have been erected the past summer and are now being completed, which may bring rents down; if not, tome people will go vp. Extremis must meet some where. John Parke is just completing his Hall, which resembles a mi nature theatre, photo graphically speaking. It has a main audience-room and two tiers, or galleries. Al though it is not a symmetrical building, being higher vp than uride out, yet it will be an amusing place of amusement. David Dibert, Esq., has put up a new nfructure ib tended for a Post Office building. We hope it will be so arranged that the ladies will have an entrance and place of de livery for themselves, As it is, there is more jostling than ladies like. If some young man would get the office next term all wuuld be right. Dr. Henry Yeagley had bis horse and car riage stolen the other night. The thief was followed to Myers' Mills. Somerset county, and caught. He had diiven the entire dis tance without feeding either horse or buggy. The Republicans have gained another victory. Every member of the council of Pandemonium, elected this year, is a Radi cal. There w.ll, no doubt, be an illumina tion in Hades. The snow storm continues and numbers of wild geeso are flying South. We did not notice that any of them had carpetbags. Mr. George Gates has sold a small part of his farm to the Cambria Iron Co., for six thousand dollars. George is rich. , MacShane, Jr. CAP.aoLLTWN, Nov. 23, 1868. Dear Freeman "United" still lives, and sends you greeting with the first coming of snow. Pardon his long tilence if you have yet a lingering hope that he will do better. It is my painful duty to inform j'ou of the destruction by fire of the barn of Mr. Aug. Luther, cne mile south of Carrolltown, which was burned, with uearty all its contents, on Thursday morning lat. It seems that one of Mr. L.'s little boys hvi gone to the barn at an early hour for the purpose of feeding the stock, taking with him a lighted lantern. While there to took the caLdle out of the lantern for some purpose, and by accident set fire to a lot of corn fodder. Mr. Lutber had by this time eaten his breakfast and gone to his work, leaving no grown male about the premises, and of course the feeble effort of his wife and small children were insuffi cient even to keep the fire under control un til help arrived, and consequently the barn, containing about five tons of hay. two va'u ble cows, a lot of tools and utensils, and some choice lumber, was soon a total wreck. There was one horse in the barn when the fire commenced, but it was fortunately got out in time, though not without cousidorable difficulty. Mr. L. has the earnest sympathy of all who know him. His loss foots up over five hundred dollars, with no Insurance. Mr. Jacob Lieb has been engaged for the past week in selling off his stock of Merchan dise, house furniture, farming utensils, etc., and having already sold his valuable farm, be will ere long take his departure for Vir ginia. Our community will consequently lose one of its best citizens. Had either of the "Macs" beeu in our goodly borough yesterday he would have been surprised to see the trrn out of sleds and'tdeighs, and stilljmore to'note the absence of all wheeled vehicles on the 22J diy of November. Truly we have winter early and winter late in this high latitude. A very long "winter's tale" might be composed here if commenced with the first fall of snow and continued until its fiual departure. By the way, I had almost closed forgetting to mentionthe coming auiversary celebration of the Lemke Association. It is to come off on Thursday of the present week, commenc ing early in the day and to continue until the "wee sma' hours ayant the twal." To those who were present at the last anniver sary I need scarcely say come! but to all who desire to innocently spend a pleasant day I would say, come to Carrolltown on Thursday, and I promise them that under the auspices of the Lemke Association they will enjoy a day of pleasant recreation. And now, for fear of trespassing I forbear for the nonce. Yours, in the faith, United. One tijm at a good school is of more value than two terms at a poor school. For good instruction go to the State Normal ichool. Addrts J. A. Cbrper. Edlnboro, "Evkbtbodt Takes Them !" Nearly all our readers will remember to have seen, only a few years ago, fences, barns, and even rocks, bearing the legend, "Everybody takes Hobensack's," &c. Of course it wasn't ex actly true, for we are sure we never took any, aud we claim to be somebody. Neither would it be exactly true to say that every body takes the handsome little bras bed room lamps recently introduced here by Mr. M. L. Oatman, but It is true to say that nearly everybody who has thns far seen them has bought one or more of them, and it is equally true to say that all who appre ciate a convenient and brilliant light should no longer do without one of these handsome lamps. They cost only fifty cents, require no chimneys, and burn without emitting the least smoke or soot. Try them and be con vinced of their superior merits. Unequalled ! Yes, that is the proper word to make use of in speaking of the re nowned Spear's Anti-Dust Stoves, a repre sentation of one kind of which our enterpri prising neighbor, Mr. George Huntley, has had us to present to our readers to-day. These stoves are admitted by all who have tested them to be the very acme of perfec tion, and it is doubtful whether any further improvement can be made in that way. Mr. U. keeps these and many other kinds of cooking and heating stoves, and sells them just as cheap as the men who make them. "Youno America." This favorite juve nile periodical enters upon its third year greatly enlarged and improved. It is deci dedly the most varied, and, in many respects, the best of all the juveniles, and well repays the investment of the small sum required for its possession.

Fallerhnd the misfortune to lose a. horse valued at $175 on Saturday night last. Having no immediate use for the horse he had consigned it to the keeping of Mr. Ed. Humphreys, to work for its fed, and on the night in question the an imal got loose in the latter gentleman's sta ble, aud while tramping about upset the fecd cutter, the kuife of which came in contact with one of the horse's feet, just above the hoof, and inflicted such a torrible gash that it was found necessary to take the auimal out and shoot him on Sunday meruicg. Best Ovhters. It is the opinion of every body who has indulged in the oysters served up at the new saloon of Mr. A. II. Faller, that they are the largest and most delicious bivalves ever brought to this place ; and add to this the fact that he has reduced the price per plate, and it would be strange if be did not do'a thriving business. Among the other delicacies to be found at this establishment, are pigs' feet, tripe and beef tongue, for all of which Mr. Faller will pay the highest prices to those offering them. A Word is Time. To-day is Thacks giviving, and in another mouth we shall have the Christmas holidays, the great sea son of merry-making and present giving, and now is a very opportune time to remiud our readers that Mr. C.

His store is a perfect Paradise of beauty and wondermeut. Good Timts. Talk obouthard times ! Why we saw Murphy &. Co. have handsful of gold coin the other day, which they had just receiv ed from numerous customers at their famous Dry Goods Store, near the Houston House, Johnstown. They offered to sell us the gold, but we preferred their nice goods, which were going like hot cakes. So. we pitched in and bought all we coul 1, but were conrideiably in terrupted by John, who is au inveterate talker.

As we passed along Cliu ton s'.reet, John-town, on Saturday, we noticed a crowd, and a tremendous smoke rising from their midst. Upon inquiry we learned that James J.

It is a mistake to huppose that Thanksgiving day is appointed for the sole purpose of masticating turkey aud other palatable delicacies. It is also a mis take to suppose thai any merchant in or out of Cambria county has a fuller, finer or cheaper assortment of goods than is kept for sale by J. Patton Thompson, whose store is the great centre of attraction in this locality. Pedestrians find it somewhat difficult to pedestriDate just now, owing to the slippery condition cf the sidewalks, and nearly all who do venture out act very sensibly by going straight to the cheap cash store of 11.

It is the largest gland in the body, and is liable to a number of diseases. Now then, is the time to use a protective medication like MlSilLEit'S HERB BITTERS, so ns to check at once any such course. This advice is louaded on experience, and is easily followed. The bitters is the most successful ami bilious specific extant, and is highly indorsed by medi cal gentlemen for bilious epidemics and en demies, such ns Ague, Jaundice, Fever and Ague, ic. People who live in districts where either of these complaints prevail, ought to provide themselves nt once with the Bitters, as a protection against sickxess lrom these causes, and to use it as a remedy where these diseases have already gained a foothold in their systems.
