nearly two-thirds of tie term for which he

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

Turkey was prosecuted vigorously and the

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

An old lady named Dovine was found buru

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

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

Ed. has eudured his last tw itihing. Wm.

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

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

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

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

Johsstoww, Nov. 80, 1868.
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

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

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.

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

TLe Cathoik Ladies' Fair is still iu pro

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

Politics are dead. The Democrats are
like the bound boy at the husking, aud the

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.

Holiday Gifts. When three more weeks go
by we will be on the eve of the Christmas hoi
idays. Just that length of time remains for
people to make up their minds as to what they
are going to buy for Christmas presents. As
to where they are going to buy, we presume
that is fixed, for certainly no oue w ill pass C.

more attention to their skates and sleds ihan
they are to their slates and books. The side

ORIGINAL.
The bardy husbandman at eve
Admires the setting sun,
As to my firtt Le turns his gize
Before the day is done.
My second is an adjective.
Comparative degree,
And which of all that's goo! we want
Each opportunity.
My Otlrd's that portion of the globe
By water not o'erflown.
On which each man desires a horns
That he may call his own.
Within the good old Keystone State,
Where western waters Sow,
My whrte is found a county large
And Democratic, too.

If you look at the map you will find
My first indicates a direction.
And it is also, as you may well know,
The name of a very great section.
My second, in comparison, is of greater de
gree
Than many or much, as the case may be.
My third is a noun denoting a country,
Aud also a verb, meaning to come in from
sea.
If my econt"and third together you join,
You will have the cry of our Secretary of
State,
In Virginia a county names my whole.
And in Pennsylvania wc have that coun
ty's mate.

Sir Hilary charged at Agincourt
Sooth, 'twas an awful day !
And though in that old age of sport
The rufflers of the camp and court
Had little time to pray,
'Tis said Sir Hilary muttered thero
Two sylables by way of prayer.
My first to all the brave and proud
Who see to-morrow's sun ;
My next with her cold and quiet cloud
To those who find their dawy &hroud
Before to-day's be done ;
And both together to all blue eyes
That weep when a warrior nobly dies.

Coasting down the hil'.s on sleds
