Four eclipses of the sun will occur next year, the first of which, on January 27th, wll be visible in this latitude. Thanks. We are obliged to the AUegha nian for publishing our editorial. It shows its good taste and better sense. The Altoona Tribune is to be enlarged about the holidays. Bully boys, the Tribune meu, aad we are glad to know it pays them to Le bully. A Youxo married woman named Mayes died veiy suddenly in Siglerville, Mifflin county, 011 Friday night week, shortly after retiring to bed. Samctel Lccas. of Armstrong township. Indiana county, had hi. j.tw badly fractured, a few days since, by being struck by a limb while foiling trees. Not Yet. The AUeghanian asks what tho editor of the Freeman is at last ? Why we are not at last, at all, and hope not to be at last for many years. A touko man named MiQuown was shot in the aokle at Blairsville, a few days stgo. bv a revolver which he accidentally let fill on" the pavement. No bones broken. The editor of the Freeman is an old man, whose veoxa we would gladly respect. Alle hani'in. We couldn't expect you to respect us when you are not willing to respect yourself. Don't Know. The AUeghanian thinks our highest accomplishment is a "wit.esd pun." Well, we wouldn't make a good pun in his presence anyhow for he couldn't "see it." Workm: x are Lusy at several points on our brunch railroad removing the snow from the tra.k. mid it is thought that trains will lie running 011 it the latter part ofhe pres ent week. Samuki.

We are under obligations to Mr. A. H. Taller for a large and exceedingly palatable fresh fir-h. Mr. F. gets a supply of fish every Thursday, we believe, and sells them at very moderate rates. A French tailor took a French leave of Ilollidaysburg on Friday week, taking with ?iim a watch and some change belonging to is landlady aud s.-me cloth, muslin, etc., belonging to his employer.

Thomas McMlllen, of Greenville, Indiana county, was dragged and tramped upon by his horse, not long since, in come tjuvtice of his foot becoming fastened in the Miu up, and was thereby seriously injured hln'tit the face and b:d3. The Johiisto vn Democrat talks about en larging from a seven to a nine column pag ed paper in the near future, provided those i'i arrears do the fair thing iu the meantime. Oa the same conditions we should be willing to do likewise or otherwise. A stranoku giving his name as John I! "Igers hurled a brick through the large liuw window of Mr. C 0. Shannon, jeweler in Altoona, on Thursday, breaking the liiss and destroying a large and beautiful watch case. He was arrested, and Mayor i'otts writ him to jail at II olliduysl urg. Tiik Fair of the Vigilant Fire Company opened in Altoona on Wednesday night, : nd the indications are that it will be a 1 riiii.int success. The display of fancy ar tiJ.ce is very Urge and elegant. Tiie Hook ur.d Ladder Company of the s-ame place will in.oi-urate a Fair 011 the evening ot tho 7th January r.ext. F. P. Tif.rni f , Ksq., our new District Attorney, assumed the duties of that position last week, aud there is no doubt he will per f ii m ihem with energy and acceptability. We wish him a successful official career, and to his predecessor, John F. Barnes, Esq.. an abundance of paying clients, now that he has doffed the robes of office. The Beaver IajcoI has donned a new dress throughout, and looks as gay and .ppy a young maiden about to be led to the matrimonial altar.

We have been made the recipient of an other turkey the third of the series. The donor Faid we should mention no names, and as we have "saw Sam," mum is the word, of course. We believe it is not a Hen tur key, but of the gobbler persuasion, and is large enough and fat enough to have beeu fed on rye. Tback you muchly, kind friend. We have received a production called tb.6 "Washington Union Song," which the au thoress, who signs herself 6imply "Kate," ays v.u3 written before the late war. As we consider it out of season, out of measure, cut of sentiment and out of sense, we think it should be out of print, and hence we have kept out of the Freeman and put into the fctove. Tue Altoona Catholic Fr.ir is still pro gressing finally, and the articles being voted for will be awarded in a few days. In the meantime, as our correspondent remarks, universal suffrage will be extended to every son and daughter of Adam, of all nations colors and conditions, provided they pay their taxes in ehape of chances in the sever al articles. Among the valuable articles donated to the iVr which it s proposed to hold here during tho holidays in aid of the new Catho lic church, is iu excellent plough, with all the modern Improvement, manufactured and contributed by the Foundryfirm here, and which is now on exhibition at Mr. T.

Dear Freeman L&st Saturday presented a scene of enjoyment such as is seldom wit nessed in Johnstown. Sleighs were counted by hundreds and bells by thousands. The snow was first rate, beiDg a little frosty, and the roads were well beaten. The poor horses had to suffer for the merry pastime of more intelligent beings. The Penna. Railroad was well nigh block aded for several days during the late snow storm, but it is now opened for freight trains. Many of the country roads are closed, espe cially in the open land. The storm and freeze have been remarkable for the time of year. Want begins to pinch the poor, and those who have plenty should, out of their abun dance, furnish means for the needy. The rich should not wait to be asked for alms, for the poor would suffer first. They should give, not grudgingly, for tfho knows all the wants of our community, and who knows who many be poor hereafter 1 "The poor ye always have with you," and many are poor who are not considered so. Skating is attended to here with great in dustry and earnestness. Hundreds ol young people of both sexes are gliding on tho ice the live long diy, and half the night. Provisions are very high considering the fact that last summer produced bountiful harvests. Speculators keep up the prices, most assuredly. The price of flour and beef is one-third higher than it ought to be. We had a lady lecturer here on Saturday night, Gertrude Miner, who procured a room in the Kernville school-house and delivered a lecture on Social Customs to a few persons. . Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather workmen are progressing with the laying cf water-pipes in Conemaugh bor ough. The schools of our place will close a ses sion of six months to-morrow. An intelli gent and a successful corps of teachers was employed during the summer, and the ex- animations were highly creditable to both teachers and pupils. The late snow gathered in such a quantity on the English Lutheran church 111 this place that when it slid off. it carried two chimney tops with it, aud precipitated them to the ground. The German Catholics are preparing for an extensive Fir on Christmas day. A large supply of articles wei e purchased in the eastern cities for the occasion. It will be a grand affair. MacShaxk, Jr. Wilmore, Dec. 14, 1868. Dear Freeman Nothing ha rnpired here during the week that would make a lo cal for your columns. We have been snow bound, aad present judications are that we will continue so for some time to come say until Spring. The condition of the roads just now causes frequent personations of the "Grecian Bend" and the display of other charming attributes of the geutler sex. We ate all realizing some of the most beau tiful passages in Longfellow's Hiawatha on our toe and finger tips, and more forcibly on the tips of our noses. One man Ecan(s) complains that his nose has been frozen, aud it really has a dyeing, appearar.ee. Spaff Himan, the magician, was here last week, but owing to snow and tskepticism, failed to raise an audience. Tiie other Hy men wouid attract more votaries, especially among the fair sex, if he should come this way. Neither snow nor skepticism would interfere with his success. The Directors have as yet secured no teach ers for our borough schools. The citizens would gladly welcome some veteran of the birch to teach their young ideas how to thoot one "Whom the boding tremblers all could trace The day's disasters in bis morning face." Straws says the treasury, however, is like our national one at present wri;ing. On Saturday last a drovsr's car became de tached from regular train, ran down the mountain to Portage station, where it colli ded with a freight train, causing a consider able damage to both- The Pa. R fi. Go have been forced to run freight trains on Sunday for the past two weeks, owing to delays occasioned by tho heavy fall of snow and divers ema'l wrecks. Have nothing more to write about, and cannot create out of nothing. When any thing of locai iuterest transpires I v ill come again, and hope you will reserve a sma.l space in jour columns for my use. Yours, Ac, A Chip of the Old Block. Court Proceedings. We give below a report of such cases as were disclosed of in Quarter Sessions last week after the close of our previous report : Com'th vs. Samuel Christer Indictment, selling liquor on Sunday. Not guilty. C-'m'th. vs. Lawrence Campbell Indict ment, assault and battery. Plead guilty and submitted sentenced to pay $1 fine and cost?, and stand committed.

Com'th. ts. Ella Hawthorne Indictment, arson. Result given elsewheje in our col umns. A Singular Case. Ella Hawthorne, a young girl iu her sixteenth year, was tried at our Court last week for the crime of ar son. The evidence was quite clear that she had commuuicated fire to the dwelling house of T. B Moore, Esq., with whom she lived, in several different places. She admitted that she had been kindly treated by the family, but that she believed "the devil made her do it." Owing to the absence of any possible motive, and from other facts appearing on the trial, she was acquitted on the plea of insanity. She will remain io jail until Court orders her removal elsewhere to the poor house or asylum. The Hollidaysljurg Standard compliments the Freeman by saying that it has the best corps of local correspondents of any country paper in the State, and wishes it had a few of the same sort. Well, since you wish it, friend Traugb, we cannot but do the same, still, as the Standard is universally acknowl edged to be one of the neatest and most read able papers published, we cannot find fault with its friends for letting well enough alone, and permitting the "gay and incomparable" to "fight it out on that line" without any of the outside aid which the Freeman needs to bring it up to that Standard. A Good Workman. Mr. James Wilkin son of Loretto, keeps on hand a general as sortment of all kinds of marble, and as he is an excellent and expsrienced workman we can confidently urge our friends in North ern Cambria to patronize him. They can not fail to receive satisfaction. Fresh and Sweet. All housewives will be kept busy for the- next week or two in getting numberless good things ready for the holiday feastings, and it is therefore just in time to say that one grocer friend, M. L. Oatman, has supplied himself with nearly everything which the la lies need in their cooking and baking operations, ne is just receiving a supply of the bets prepared mince meat ever put up, and has all the other con comitants such as cider, raisins, citron, sweatmeats, spices, etc., needed for cakes and pies, and other delicious cookeries, be sides an ample supply of canned oysters, flour, crackers, nuts, confections and notions generally, which are all fresh and sweet, and will be sold at lower prices than have ever prevailed in this market at this season of the. year. Let no one who wishes to get the best articles fail to visit Oatman's. HabhisdtjrG Patriot. We are in regu lar receipt of the daily issue of the Harris burg Patriot, and must say that it has no superior and few equals among the daily journals of this Commonwealth. It is con ducted with a spirit and energy under the new proprietorship that makes it a credit alike to the Democracy and to the capital of our great State, and no man who wishes to keep himself posted on the doings of the Legislature the coming winter, as well as on the current news and leading topics of the day, should do without the Daily Patriot, or at least the weekly issue of that journal. It is worth all that is charged for it. which is $7 per year for the daily and $2 per year for the weekly. Address B. F. Meyers & Co., Harrisburg, Pa. Devotional Ixercises. The sublime devotion of the Forty Hours commenced in the Catholic church in this place on 8unday last, and closed this (Wednesday) morning. The exercises consisted of Masses in the morning, Vespers in the afternoon, and de votious and instructions in the evening. The resident pastor, Rev. R. C. Christy, was as sisted by several clergymen from other points, and the attendance of the congrega tion was generally large, nearly all the mem bers availing themselves of the special graces pertaining to this time of devotion and re pentance. The assisting clergymen were Fathers Giles, of Carrolltown. Brown. Keogh and O'Shea, of Loretto, Burns, of St. Augus tine, Ward, of Alpsville, and Nolan, of Johnstown. St rrosED F.lopfmext. A higely respectable family of this place was overwhelmed with sonow on Thursday evening last, by the sut du and mysterious disappearance of their beaut ful and accomplished daughter. Rumor said she had eloped with one of her numsrons admirers. Tho distressed parents, as may well be supposed, made immediate search lor the missing one horsemen were sent in every direction teregrams were dispatched but all iu vain. No news, and tbe fond one was given up ht last, when all at once, the doting mother be thought her of the sights to be seen ami the bargains to be had at Shoemaker & Co.'s store ane off she went and 10 her great joy found her daughter, saving money by purchas ing what was needed at home from the im mense stock these gentlemen have just opened. Just tdk TniNG. Huntley's extensive stove, hardware, tinware and grocery emporium is the headquarters for ull that is useful and needful in his l;ne for household, farm and mechanical wants, but it contains besides these hosts of beautiful articles appropriate for holiday gifts. The chaste and magnificent array of silver ware displayed in the large sh w case appropriated to that purpose, will commend themselves as part'vui trly appropriate for presents to wives, daughters, mothers, sis cra or friends, and Mr. Huntlsy should have no trouble in finding pur chasws for these beautiful articles, now that the festal season is npnroaching. In his cutlery and other department's many other things may be found seculiarly suited for holiday gifts. On two different occasions within the past few days obstructions have been placed on the track of the Indiana Branch Railroad, I etween Indiana and Homer, evidently with the intention of wrecking the morning train which leaves the latter p'ace before day light, but fortunately the obstiuctions were discovered an 1 removed in time to prevent such a catastrophe. The villain who would he guilty of such a dialnilical act should be hung without the benefit of judge or jury. Kkist Kixdlein's Headquarters. This mythical little individual, who treats good little boys and girls so kiudly about Christ mas, has e.-tablished his Ebensburg head quarters at A. H. Filler's new confectionery establishment, in the Cambria House build ings, and has laid in a plentiful supply of nuts, candies, fruits, and other "goodies" for all the juvenile, in Northern Cambria whom he may esteem worthy of his beneficence. riErixKMKNT The difference between a sav age and a iviiized person consists partly in t!ie amount of knowledge the latter possesses more than the former, but it also consists, in n preat measure, in the manner of dress. Refined people dress as neatly as they can. Then go to Leopold & Brother, Onk Hall Clothing Store, Main street. Johnstown, and purchase a complete suit of clothes for the holidays. Facts. It is a fact that the holidays are coming, it is a fact that everybody wants to to buy somebody else n Christmas present, and it is a fact that the riht place to buy the right articles at the right prices is at C.

Having once been conpletely prostrated by disease con traced in campaigns in Louisiana and Missis sippi, we were unable to regain our health bv following tegular remedies but were cured by a few bottles of this medicine.

CONSTITUTIONAL DIFFERENCES There are many constitutions so inherently de fective in energy as to derive great benefit from a moderate use of pure liquor combined with such vegetable medicines and extracts as enter into the composition of Roback's Stomach Bit ters, and there are many situations in which even the healthiest derive additional security from their occasional use. If healthy persons are exposed to unusual and continued exertion iu confined air, or under the heat of the sun', or to the influence of de pressing watchfullness of traveling, ond change of diet and witter, or if residents ol malurious districts or the rank river bottoms of the Wst and Sooth, there can be no doubt but a careful use of Roback's Stomach Bittiss with the food would surely be the means of warding off actual disease and enabling them to bear unaffected, where, without the Bitters, they would likely have to fuccom'i to disease. They strengthen, tone and invigora'e, aid digestion and increase the appetite. To Consumptive.
