Thr dwelling house of William Watt, in Clesrflrld township, was destroyed by fi-e in. mediately after dinner on Monday of last week, and furniture and all else the hcuse (outlined was burned. Mr. Watt and a boy lived together, and were absent from the house when the fire occurred. It is supposed to have caught from the cook stove. The building was not a valuable nne and the en tire bs Is not more than $400 or $500 on which there is no insurance. On Saturday evening last, just previou to the close of tha Catholic Fair, the room wss dersely crow d d. and sm mischievioun wretches took advantage of the occasion to exercise their dtvilish propensities by cut ting the shawls and drest.es of ft couple of ladies in several places with a penknife Unfortunately the erpetrators of this das tardly outrsge were not discovered, but it is to be hoped that they may yet be found out and be visited with the punishment they de serve. A collection was taken up for the lady who had suffered the most and was least able to afford it. The M. B. B. C. Fair opened out on Mon day last in the room which had beep, occn pled by the Catholic Fair, and jt'dging by the wonderful success which has already at tended their efforts, we have no donbt but that it will more than realize the anticipa tlons of the n n' sngi Ine knight of the bat and ball. Everything connected wi;h this Fair is gotten tip in excellent taste, and the young ladiea and gentlemen having it in charge are determined to spare no effort t make it an entire success. Their hosts of friends will not fail to visit and encourage tfeetn during its continuance. AnTTocs. There was as mnch anxiety in some quarters last week to draw one of the barrels of flour at the Fair as if the "ataff of life" was a scarce commodity in this commsrjty, while the fact is thot M. L. Oatman is supplying his customers with the very best brand of "Extra Family" at the lowest market price, and everybody is o well pleased with the article tlaat they at willing to buy no other. Martin is an exclusive dealer in all kind of groceries of the beet quality, and all who buy from him are sure to be suited in both goods and prices.

After a most bril liant and successful career of two weeks' du ration, the Ladies' Fair in aid of the build iog fuad of the new Catholic church closed on Saturday night last. The affair through out was marked with the utmost good order and good feeling, notwithstanding the great Dumber of visitors who almost constantly filled to overflowing the rooms in which the exhibition was held, and we doubt whether any one of the many who contributed" b-i lib erally of their time and money in furtherance ef the good cause feel new that they have done themselves injustice in makiug the sac rifices they did. Not one of our readers, we venture to say, in vit w of the season, the stringency in the money market and other circumstance of a no less discouraging character, would have bcn bold enough, at the opening of the Fnir. to have offered one thousand dollars for the gross receipts: and yt we are now. at the cloP3 of the enterprise, agreeably startled with the announcement that, after all ex penses shall have been paid, there will still remain erer eighteen hundred dollars as the result of thiB well managed and most liber ally patronized enterprise. This is certainly a ir.ost pleasing and unexpected exhibit, and to many of our own citizers and not a few from neighboring localities is due the high est meda of praise for the patronage so lav is.'ily Iwstowel by thorn in aid of bo good and needy a cause. We give below the full result of the draw ings aud Imllotiags as they hav ben fur nished us for publication, ard it is worthy of mention that when the gold watch drawn by Florentine H. over was called for the lady who had it in charge was prei-ented by the applicant with a tan dollar gold piece an a voluntary contribution to the building fund of the church. Such liberality is worthy of emulation. List or Articles Dbawx at Tabi.ic No '. Web of muslin. Win. P. Bock, Can oil town; Colt revolver, Abram Ulaiu; lace collar, Mary Blair; child's fruiters.

J Murphy's Clothing Store, sign of the (, CUntop street, Johnstown Local Correspondence. Johsstown, March 16, 1869. Dear Freeman The weather has been so changeable and unreliable that it has in a measure prevented the advent of locals. The only tiling of importance that can now call up is the establishment in our midst of a Young Men's Literary Society. I attended their meeting on Monday even ing and was much edified with the preco cious efforts of this juvenile class of our citizens. Mr. Campbell, a young gentleman of decided talents, presided, aud seemed per fectly at home in the chair, deciding every difficult question that arose according to strict Parliamentary rules. I was much pleased with bis efforts, and hope he may rise higher. A young man named Linton acted as the President. He is pointing his arrow toward the san, and bids fair to shine in cur legislative Councils, at some future day, as a star of the first magnitude. A youth named Potts performed the duties of Secretary. . He is familiarly known among bis youthful comrades as the JHaJ.tr. He writes a good hand and keeps the minutes well. The perform tr.res were : 1st. An original oration by T. C. King, a mere child in com parison of years with the rest. But we do say the effort was worthy the occasion. He promises to be a Demosthenes at some fu ture period. 2d. An essay by John M. Bowman. Mr. Bowman, though scarce in bis teens, wields his pen with a master hand and bids fair to bo a printer or editor some day. 3d. An essay by Mr. John M'Cer mick. John is young but be can "Talk with thunder aslriend talks with friend, And weave his garlands with the lightniug's rush." - If he improves for a few years he might yet bo a GMiuty Supeiinten ent. 4th. A decla mation by V. W. Pike. This efi'ort was very creditable. But the most amusing in cident was the debate on the question of "Capital Puuishmetit" by two young men of the Association young Potts and young Fink. I cannot give all the points raised in this ft-igned issue, but canmt refrain from suggesting some: Young Fink maintained that capital punish ment hhould not be abol ished. becau.sa : 1st. Immigration would overwhelm this sUr-spang'ed banner. 21. The Indians would whip the whites. 3d. Dead men tell no tales. 4th. Geo. Wash ington was in favor of csi ital punishment. On the negative young Potts argued for its abolition, because: 1st. The killing of Cin by his brother Absl was condemned. 2d. War ki'Ied men enough. 3d. M:iny immi grants were drowned in the sea and on L:ike Erie. 4th. If people would wait a few years these criminals would die themselves. After this performance theie was a running debate on the same question, during which the young stars shone with exceeding bril liancy. John M'Girmick hit on a gotl idea. He said dead men couldn't earn anything f-r their tamilics. while living men could. He thought, therefore, that criminals ought to live, if for no other reason, to aid in keep ing their families, in ca?e they bad any, and in supporting the Sta'e when they had none. I came away profoundly impressed that young mm cannot spend their time so well anywhere as in a good literary society. Caligula. EbknbBCEq , March 10, 18C3. Ma. Editor One of the most pleasing nnl enjoyable incidents connected with the Fair which closed on Saturdar night, was he voting of the Urge carving knife and fork to the most popular landlord in Ebensburg, Our town is proverbial lor the hospitality, generosity and considerate kindness of nil its landlord.
