Sott Monroe, colored, convicted in our County Court in December laht, of receiving stolen' goods, has been par ti, ited by the Governor, after having served nearly two-thirds of tie term for which he vcan sentenced. We welcome to the col umns of the Freeman our new correspondent from ".Vilmore. "A Chip of the Old Block," and hope heieafter to lay before our readers many chips from the same block, which is far from being a blockhead. An alarm tf fire was cieated on Saturday evening by the burning out of the kitchen chimney at the Crawford House. Uad the roofs been dry more than the chimney might have been burnt out. Eight deer were seut by Ex press from this place to Philadelphia, on Satuiday morning last. They were all said to Lave 'been shot by one man near Carroll town, but that is sajtng more than we can vouch for. Deer are shipped nearly evry t'.ay from this puint. The Fast Line west i n Saturday last ran over and killed a man lii-ar Lewiatown, who was afterwards re cog-nizc-d as a faimer residing in the vicinity. Hi. head was severed from bis body, and his arms and legs terribly manglwl. The ,late roof on the new Catholic church was completed on Tuesday. This is only the tecond' roof of the kind that has been put t.u in this place Thanksgiving day wit- i.esed a geners.1 closing up of business houses in tLis place, although not a few kept one eye open and one or two went both eyes and ti e mouth towards evening. The war with Turkey was prosecuted vigorously and the belly gerenta on our side won a signal vie tory. Wm. Drum, convicted at Greensburg of niurder in the second degree, for killing David MoLegan, Las been sentenced to four years and six meutbs imprisonment in the iVnitentiary. A petition for his pardon has lt-en sigt.t-d by a majority pf the jury, the court (fficers, county t fficers, and very many of the cilizeus of that place. They have a Leu in Centre county which has batched 6ve broods of chickens iuce the 15th ot June Jafct. The last brood she deserted sever m1 weeks ago, and cne of the first brood has taken them under her motherly wings. An old lady named Dovine was found buru td to death near Bellefont, ou Saturday night wei-k. lie hus'.'aud and son had occasion to git out of bed during the night, and found the corpse with nearly all the clothing burnt away. The old lady was subjtct to fainting pell, and while affl'.cted with oue of thm it is thought her clothing took fire and the was unable to call for help. Our young friend, Ed James, of the Alleghanian, has ust recovered from a severe attack of quinsy, "if there is any one person more than another who ha our bjmpathy, it is him or her who is afflicted with this excruciating malady. We have ''been there.'" and a f How-feeling makes us wendrous kind." We hope Ed. has eudured his last tw itihing. Wm. iioodinan. whom we noticed lat week as Laving Lad loth legs fractured by a freight train at Huntingdon, died of his iujuries on Monday last, mortification having ensued. A two year old son of Mr. John Shri i.er, of Huntingdon, during the absence of its mother, ou Friday last, drank a quantity of liLamcnt which had been prepared for the use of Lis father, recently iiijured on the railroad, aud died on Sunday afternoon from the t Beets of the do:-e. Mr. Abel Lloyd. ticket agent here.. Las bought a one-fourth interest in the Kbcunburg Foundry. Mr. Lloyd it" an abU man in any position, and we doubt uot his connection with the Fouu tlry will add much to its prosperity. The fiim now is a most excellent one. A HIST and its RutCLT. Two weeks ago we wrote an item about thanksgiving, aud in it ufked whether somebody would not send the printer a turkey for his dinner. The com jrtititor made somebody "some lady." and the result has been that "some lady" not only 8eut us a large aud very delicious turkey, which teived for our thanksgiving fcupper, but 'somebody," evidently having an idea of what we really intended to say, brought us another equally fine, which has not yet "gone the way of all flesh," but we decline for Miudry reasons to tell where we keep it. Of coun-e we are uot at liberty to name the lady who did the kind act, but do cne who knows and admire ler will think we Lave Lide in the least when we say that she is oue of the most amiable and acromj lhd.ed young ladie-j in this fair moun tain village. The "somebody" is no other tl.au our wide awake young friend, Harry Shoemaker, who did the same, thing last year, and for aught we know intends to do it nixt year, and so on ad infinitum. Of course we are duly grateful, and all that port of thing, but we think a great many more nice things for Ilarry than his modesry will permit us to say out loud. Therefore he will accept the will for the deed, and consider our best bow made. Ot'T asd Is. On Monday last the term of office of George C. K. Zahm, Esq., as 1'rothonotary and Clerk of the Courts of Caoibria county expired. Mr. Zahm made u excellent, faithful and accommodating officer. He has removed with his family into the borough, and, as we understand, contemplates going into the mercantile busi- llCFS. Cn Tuesday Mr. Zahm's soceessor, Capt. J. K. Uite. donned the robes of office. We predict that he will make & faithful and satisfactory inoambent. His qualifications are of the highest order, while his obliging disposition will make all who have business in bis office Aral themselves at home. Fatal Ratlhoad Aocideht. A brake roan on the second stock train east named Wm. Coates, 18 or 19 years of age was in stantly killed by being run over by some twenty cars and dragged a distance of fully one hundred yards, at Wilmore station, on Tuesday of this week. He is supposed to have fallen to the track while attempting to get down from the roof of one of the cars, as that was the last position in which he was seen alive. The top of his head was cut eff, and his body was shockingly mutil ated. Net a remnant of clothing except one boot was on his person when found. Mr. Coates' home was at Cresson, whero his mother, who in married a second time, re tides. Osoo ThI3S. Our enterprising neigh bor, 11.

Mr. Editor It was Doctor Franklin who said tht "a man who sets out to hire by his nils gentially breaks up for want of stock." I am broke, bat I kind of think it is for want of gain. It does not pay now-a-days, A dividend is seldom declared, and when i is the per cent, is but small. In short, we have too many long writers these times, each of whom is more or less witty. A boarder was once asked whether he would take tea or coffee. He replied that if the last cup was affee be would take tea, but if it was tea he would take coffee. No doubt your readers feel like that boarder, especially in regard to my scribblings. There is but little local news in our little town, aud what does occur gets stale before a weekly can print it. Still, I fwl as the Quaker did about swearing, that it is better out than in, only that I feel the other way, aud would rather have my letters in than out. The chief thing noticeable about town is the vast number of new buildings that are being put vp. We are very willing to put up with them, too, for house room is scarce. Last week brought a slight freeze, and then a thaw, so that between the two we reallv had ice cream on the streets, on the sidewalks, and even on the hose, till the habi tants washed the pavements off with thtir hose and vild cat water. Our market is now crowded with hens, chickens and fowls, pork, hogmeat and ba con, grease, butter and fat, and will be till after the holidays. Conemaugh Furnace has bloiced out for want of a blast or ballast. Mr. Given let it oive wav. somehow. Some justice issued a fye fah and took all the personnel, which was rather a personal anair. Xney bad too much money invested ia bars, which they couldn't trade for scythes, or anything else, and if they could have, the trade wouldn't have had the ring of the true metal. Wesley J. Rose, Esq., has made a neat toll box for the Keruville biidge, which is an in genious affair, having places for passes and change ot all kinds 1 There was a burglary committed or at tempted at the Company's store, on Satur day morning last about seven o'clock. Seven or eight men came and hand-cuffed Mr. Wise, who atteuds the Furnace at night, which was a vise trick. They then attempt ed to open the safe, but rinding ic unsafe, they left, one remaining to take the hand-culls off the gentleman aforesaid. As Saturday was pay day the burglars had thought to make the matter pay, but the funds being too closely veiled, their efforts proved una tailing. Sandford's fcopera troupe were about played out on Saturday night. Their per formances are not appreciated. The Radi cals thought they were making fun of their equals, the niggers, and the Democrats thought that a white man who would make a nigger of himself was scarcely worth at tention. A man -who calls himself "The Wonder of the World," and who shells soap on the Public Square made harangues for t-everal days. It was a soft affair not the soap but the manner of sel iog it. The next thing we see will be San ford or the soap man play ing monkey for some organ-grinder, and pass ing the hat for cents quite as honorable an occupation as blacking ones f.ice or taking tar out of old rags. Thanksgiving day was generally observed here, though many merchants bad "half an eye" on business, and the drinking saloons kept one rye open, so that those who desired could get an eye opener. We were invited to carve a chicken on tl.at day, but we told them that we would "cut it to pieces," and, hence, we were excused. This borough was crowded with wagons on laat Saturday. The scene was as gi&ud as the supply train of Sherman's cavalry, except that no devastation war left behind. There was a great running rouud of wheels and wagons. Thomas Swank, Esq., brother to the Tri bune editor, is about to establish a job print ing press in this place. He has secured the large and commodious room in the new building of David Dibert, Esq., above the room intended for the Post Office. As Mrs. Partington would say "Job" is going into the printing business again. The prophecy if now fulfilled that "brother shall rise up against (opposite) brother." The lioliidaysburg Radical is mistaken when it says that the Johnstewn people are luxuriating on water brought from Wild Cat hollow several miles below town. Wild Cat hollow must be above town, as the water has a fall of seveuty feet. "Several miles" is correct, an the water is brought about seven miles. Wild Cat hollow hits found a watery grave! A carpenter who was going to finish a nice jA of work at Ben's Creek, fell from the lad der and was seriously injured by the fall. Alas! what a fall was there. ''Hugging in the cars," is a new play, or an old play revived, if one might judge from the performance on last Saturday's Emigrant tiaio. Some people hug dtlueicns, but the chap we saw had a real fact in his arms. Our cabinet makers are doing a rushing business in town, but the bureau, makers at Washington city, who are making Grant's cabinet, can beat them, for which reason it is said that Grant won't Seymour than one man at a time. MacShane, Jr. Wilmore, Xov. SO, 1SG8. Dear Freeman Having sought vainly in your columns for weeks to find something said about our neat little village which al though not so high up in the world as your brisk town, and cannot boast of such a weekly as the Fkkbean, excepting the "as sociated press." composed of several young gents and ladies, and their productions, (rnoro especially the latter), still deserves some notice. We are not desirous of becom ing immortal, like Beulah, and hence my letter to tell you the town still exists. Wilmore is quite a thriving place. There are three churches, tb ree hotels, two school houses, (one lately erected by the township in the suburbs of the village,) two grist mills, a saw null, a post-oificw aud telegraph office. Also, five large well-stocked stores, where one can have choice of a great variety of goods their contents being something like the "swords and pistols, jam and piils seen by Kriss Krindle in the rich lady's cup board. Speaking of pills reminds me that they are in great demand here now, Thanksgiving day being just over and the gay young doc tor gone. He was an Ernest man, but was not proven to be really Ernest until he left. However, they think he'll come back to 'Em in the spring. A change for the better has been made in the postal arrangement hare, but it has de prived Sbylock of his pound of flesh. Mac is a fine fellow, and we are sorry to think he will not be Granted another term. The P. R. R. Co., have erected a fine and commodious brick depot here, which will be ready for occupancy about January 1st. It has long been needed and will add consider ably to the business interest of the place. A new schedule went into effect on Pa. P.. R., Nov. 22d, which i3 more convenient for the traveling public here-aways than any on iseued beretefore Piiila. .Express eaft W6rJ bow itojps daU. Thanksgiving day was pretty generally observed here as a day of feasting and by some as a day of prayer; but mine especi ally as a butct.ciing day. There was no freight schedules represented on that day, and those who brave the dangers of the rail took advantage thereof and killed their bogs. Its an ill wind that blows nobody good. Major Furgeson is teaching a class to ting, and I think be will accomplish something, despite the fact they ara almost all bu.se 6ingers; but there are some sweet sounds emitted from the pipea of sweeter performers. He proposes giving a concert at the close of the session. The weather Las been very fine for this season of the year a little rain, a little snow, some freezing night before Thai.ks giving, but the graceful little Conemaugh is still navigable for boats, and it is presumed nothing has been nipped in the bud so far. An interesting little incident occurred in the Lutheran church here on last Sunday. The minister was about giving away in mar riage Lis daughter to a gallant young man from the Buckeye State. He was reading the morning lesson as the soon to be son-in-law entered, and simultaneously he read, "This is my beloved son, in whom lam well pleased." The whole congregation smiled, and thought the text appropriate to the oc casion. The only ripe Rerry in the village was plucked last week by a nice young man. Hope the fruit will prove luscious. I find I have trespassed, and will close. Should another communication be accepta ble you may expect to hear from me again. You must not look for local items unless I, like Wilkins Micawber, "wait for something to turn up." More anon. A Chip of the Old Block. Altoona City. Nov. 30. 1868. Friend Mac On Tuesday night last the good people (to say nothing of the bad ones) of this city were awakened from their slum bers by the ringing of fire bells and the yells of the ever Virgilant and faithful fire men, and after being awakened they were not long in discovering that the Mariott House, occupied by Alex. Smith, Esq,, and the dwelling of Mrs. Marshall, adjoining, were in flames. Doth being frame buildings, they were almost entirely consumed before any water could be thrown upon them. The Mariott House, belonging to Mr. Wm. Mariott. was a new building, and I am in formed that the Iocs on it alone will reach between $4,000 and ;?5.000, without any insurance. Its destruction is a severe blow to Mr. M., who had earned the money to erect it by Lard work and frugal habits. The loss on the other property I did njt as certain. Thanksgiving day was observed here in true Puritanical style. Stores, woikshops, bar-rooms and doggeries were closed up in front, and no admittance afforded except by the rear entrances. Appropiiate services were held in the Episcopal and Presbyte rian churches. In the latter the pastor. Rev. Wulli.cc, delivered a sound cud able discourse, stlec'.ing for his text the 12th veise of the 116th Psalm. I regret that I have not the time to give you a few points of his masterly effort. The Rev. gentleman is a graceful, fluent and very pleasing speak er, and Lis manner always gives zest to his able set nr n TLe Cathoik Ladies' Fair is still iu pro gress, and it may be said with truth that the fair ones who have it in charge are the most successful "Fairists" that nave ever run a Fair.

All visitors, particularly those of the male presuasion, are deemed worthy of the most flatteriug attentions, and rich and poor, homely and handsome, meet with equal consideration. Thus far the receipts have been fully up to expectations, and no doubt the Fair will bo a successful financial experiment all through. Among the many beautiful articles to be voted for is a splendid set of surgical instruments, of best material and exquisite workmanship, to be awarded to the nijst popular physician in the county of Blair. The Vigilant Fire Company will open a Fair on the 9th of December, for the pecu niary benefit of the organization. It will deserve and should receiva a liber.il patron age. Politics are dead. The Democrats are like the bound boy at the husking, aud the Radicals are about in the same fix the indi vidual was who drew the elephant. There are some ten or twelve "loil" gen tleman here who are willing to serve their country in the capacity of -Postmaster, bnt it is not believed that the sugar plum will go around them all.

Dear Freeman The anniversary celebra tion of the Lemke Association, the coming of which I alluded to in my last, passed off very auspiciously and pleasantly, on Thurs day last, and was well attended. The com modious hall of Mr. Henry Blum was en livened by the presence of some fifty couples, who indulged in tripping the light fantastic until about Gre o'clock, a. m. The hall was tastefully decorated, a prominent feature of the decoration being a baudsome banner illu minated by man)- burning candles, spelling the words "De Lemke Association.' Had the llev. Father Henry himself been present he must have been pleased with the quiet, orderly and enjoyable manner in which the celebration passed off. In the absence of the earnest ana unfortu nate repetition of misfortune, such as I chron icled last week, I have a suppty of thettensa tiooal. A young gallant, not having the fear and devoid the favor of an anxious "parient," took upon himself the responsibility of se curing his fair inamorata under the shielding cover of Friday night's dullness, and had since reported, bound by the nuptial bond. The bappy twain departed for Indiana coun ty, and having crossed the border, concluded to have all matters legally arranged by a court of simple, though exact justice, and then returned to soothe the sorrow of an only and desolate parent. The father-in-law, against bis will, beara the affliction as his daughter will hereafter bear the ilia of life as icell as can be expected. Ukum. Still Gaowiso Printers cannot afford to indulge in such luxuries as oysters very often, but we are assured by persons who have, that the bivalves served up by Mr. A. II. Faller, at his new restaurant, are still getting larger in bize and more luscious in quality. Some which he sold the other day are said to have been as large as a pigs ear. He only charges 40 cents per plate or 15 cents per dozen it you wish to have them served at home. Patronizo him. AccrrtENT.
