its good taste and better sense.
The Altoona Tribune is to be enlarged

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

The Johiisto vn Democrat talks about en

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.

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

meantime, as our correspondent remarks,
universal suffrage will be extended to every

Iocal Correspondence.
Johnstowit, Dec. 14,1868.
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. vs. !Hane Iudictment, selling
liquor on Sunday. Plead guilty and sub
mitted. Sentenced $10 fine and costs, aud
ten days in jail.
Com'th. vs. Andrew S'.ick Indictment,
horsestealing. Plead guilty and submitted.
Not sentenced.
Com'th. r. Sane Tndictmcnt, larcency.
Plead guilty. Not sentenced.
Com'th. vs. John Launy Indictment,
larcency. Plead guilty and submitted.
Not sentenced.
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. T.
Roberts' cheap watch, clock and jewelry em
porium, where anytning from a gold watch or
sewing machine to the smallest trinkets or tor,
can ne Uau 10 suit all tastes and purses.
Tfachebs' Institute. Before this intelli
gent kody of pedagogues meet t discuss learn
ed questions, the male members should all go
to L. Cohen & Brother's Clothing Store, and
get a complete outfit, so that they can appear
with credit to themselves and the county. See
the sign. "New York Clothing Hall," above
door, Main street, Johnstown.
Mist bc Teuk. What every body siys must
be true, and every body who has been there
says that the slock of dry goods, dress goods,
fancy goods and notions now in store at the
popular Thompson stand is really the most ele
guit and ample offered for sale in this market.
Now is the time and Thompsoa's is th place
to bur your holiday outfits.
Dazzling. The sun's rays reflected on the
snow liu a dazzling effect on the human vision,
and is equalled only by the brilliancy of the su
perb goods which Rowley Davis is dealing out
at suoh low prices to hosts of dslifhted and anx
ious customers. If you don't know the place
ask for R. R. Davis' cheap cash store and
"take no other. "
Grammar. My is a pronoun but Mater is
a noun, masculine gender, third petson, singu
lar number and noraitive case to the largest
sales of dry goods and fancy goods ever made
in Johnstown. Mayer keeps on Main street,
opposite Montgomery's store. Ask for Maytr's
"New York Dry Goods Store" fur store and
fancy store.
Eagles When tbe eagle builds her nest she
seeks some lonely place on the brow of a pre
cipice which overhangs the sea, and when men
want to buy cheap clothing they seek Jas. J.

HOOFLAND'S BITTERS.
In another column will be found the adver
tisernent of this sterling remedv. To it, the
writer, of this notice owes his heuhh. 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.
It is the greatest known Tonic, and is en
tirelv tree from Alcoholic admixture.
IOOFLND'S GERMAN TONIC is a
combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters, with pure Santa Ctuz Rum, orange, anise,
&c. making a preparation of rare medical val

as the Bitters ; in cases where -ome Alcoholic

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.

OUR RETT FAMILY
SEWING MACHINE!!
The superior merits of the "Singer" Ma
chines over all others, either for Family use er
Manufacturing purposes, are so well established
and so generally admitted, that au enumeration
of their relative excellences is no longer con
sidered necessary.
OUR NEW FAMILY MACHINE,
which has been brought to perfection regardless
of time, labor, or exp- nse, is now confidently
presented to the public as incomparably the
Bkrt kwixg Machine in existf.nck.
The machine in question is blMPLE. COM
PACT, DURABLE and BEAUTIFUL. It
is quiet, light running, and capable or per
forming A RANGE AND VAR1KTT OF WORK never
before attempted upon a single Machine, using
either Silk, Twist. Linen or Cotton Thread.
and sewing with equal facility the very finest
aad coarsest materials, and anything between
the two extremes, in the most beautiful and
substantial manner. Its attachments for Hem
ming, Braiding, Cording. Tucking, Quilting,
Felling, Trimming, Binding, &c, are Novkl
aud Practical, and have been invented and
adjusted espe.-ially for thin Machine.
New designs of the Unique, Useful ond Pop
ular Folding Tops and Cabinet Cases, peculiar
to the Machines manufactured by this Compa
ny, have been prepared for enclosing the new
Machine.
A faint idea, however, can at best be con
veyed through the medium of a (necessarily)
limited advertisement; and we therefore urge
every person in quest of a Sew ing Machine by
all means to examine and test, if they can pos
sibly do so, all the leading rival Machines be
fore making a purchase. A selection can then
be made understanding. Branches or agen
cies for supplying thi ' Singer" Machines will
be foutid in nearly every city and town through
