at over $4,000, on which he had no insur

Iocal Correspondence.
Johsstown, March 29,1869.
Dear Freeman Next Thursday is moving
day a day dreaded by the poor but langhed
at by the rich, for many rich people really
despise the poor rather than pity or sympa
thize with them in their straggles for a sub
sistence. We have men in our mind's eye
who are rolling in wealth, yet who would
torn cut cf doors a tenant who was not able
to pay all his rents in advance. And we
have lived long enough in this world to tee
just euch people's children beg at the doors
of those whom their father's contemned.
Next Thursday is moving day, and it is
somewhat amusing to witness the multitude
moving along and athwart, multiform aud
mix, through the thoroughfares of cities and
towns. Mr. A. is moving into an old dilapt-
dated dwelling that Mr. B. left, paying two
dollars per month additional blood money for
the privilege of living. Mr. B. goes into the
house which Mr. C. vacated, while C. goes
back to A.'s house. Mr. Dice aud Mr. Ilice
and Mr. Price follow each other round with
the same inexorable fatality.
Nest Thursday is moving day a day of
hustle1 and jjstle babies crying mothers
worried and scolding fathers tired and mel
ancholydogs scenting round for a new ken
nel cats mewing for-a familiar hearth and
chickens cackling for a new perch cattle
bawling, sheep bleating and pigs squealing
hoi ses dragging heavy loads through the
mire, aud houses that looked quite refined
Yesterday ail topsy-turvy to-day. - '
Next Thursday is moving day the day
that chairs, tables, pots, kettles, sofas, mirrors,-silks,
satins, new shoes aud old ones,
Beek a common level ; when tLe aristocracy
of fashionable parlors and the serfdom of the
kitchen shake hands and greet each other'
with a holy kiss; when tho mantle of char
ity is thrown over the old Bureau, the kitchen
cupboard and unwashed linens.
Next Thursday is moving day, and, while
goods and chattels seek a common level, the
day is not without its contrasts. On one
side of the street may be aeon the rich na
lKb with more money than brains on the
other the poor vassel with more brains than
money. On the one hand the corrupt scoun
drel that has hoarded up the sordid gains of
dishonesty on the other the meek and low
ly follower of a Divine Master who said,
"Lay not up treasure on earth, where moth
and rust cousume. But "lay 'up treasure in
heaven, where mcth and rust do not con
sume." . -
Next Thursday is moving day the . day
above all other days that la the true emblem
of th t day w hich will remove rich aud poor
alike from a temporal to an eternal condition
that ihiy when the rich will not scorn the
poor, But when all, like the chattels of the
poor man, mutt meet on a common level
when the bloated aristocrat will be as much
like clay as the poor man that used to drag
bis family from one tenement to another
through mud and filth.
Next Thursday is moving d iv a day that
peculiarly distinguishes the producer and the
comumer, the'men who pay all the taxes and
the umi who live off the taxos of the city,
county, iate or nation. The one can U;
told by bis brawny arm, his hard-worn baud,
his btitltricd joints and his stooped shoulders
the )tir by his supple j iuts, his fine
clothes, bis starched liucu aud his haughty
took.
Nt-xt Thursday is moving day, and may
the Great Kuler of the Universe have mercy
uu the poor every where on that day and send
unexpected aid to relieve them trim many
au untold and pinching want, from the mer
ciless greed of miserly fHen, fioui inclement
sk.es and from the scoffs of the proud.
- Many changes will take place in our city
en Thursday. Merchants and mechanic
will change their places of business, whether
for wtl or for woe, and with newly painted
sign aud newly burnished exteriors, assume
new attractions and enter the maza cf woi jd
ly competition with renewed zeal. --
Such is life and such it has been for thous
and of years. Charity is a myth, a mere
uominal virtus. Money will buy every thing.
It-wiil purchase character aud position, re
spect and adulation, while poverty will de
prive men even of a good name. The giaco
of charity is a christian virtue seldom pos
sessed. "Though we f-pcak with the tongues
of men and of augels and hae not charity
we art but as sounding brass or tinkling
cymbals."
Loeau and Gf.keral, MedLkt. Owing
to tho late unow ami the BUbeeq'ieut rain
and thaw Stoney creek and Conemaugh river
were ou the rampage last Friday. Sixty
five r.ew houses are going up in Johnstown.
There was a concert in Union Hall on
Saturday night last and another ou Monday
night. Not a frog has opened his mouth
this spring yet. The Borough treasurer's
icport shows that we pay over $25,000 bor
ough tax. Treft's show beef went like
hot cakes at 60 cts. per lb. for choice cuts.
TLere is some very nice machinery in
the saw-mill of the Cambria Iron Company
at Mineral Point. The brick house at
Mineral Point is to b& reconstructed. - Last
Friday aud "Saturday were pay days in Johns
town, and lots1 of money exchanged Bands.
. Samuel IUyerEq., Laa Been appoint:
d reveuue collector for this district, in place
of Wes'ey J. Iljse, Esq., resigned. Busi
ness on the Penaa. railroad is increasing w ith
the spring trade.. Thirty six trains pass over
the rails every twenty-four hours. The
Johnstown literary society is a fixed fact,
and the members have leased tho hall of the
borough council. The roads and streets
are intensely muddy. The fall grain was
somewhat injured by the severe. freeze in
March. Easter was the observed of all ob
servers, and was well observed. Lent has
lent its lease of time to time. From Mac-
Bhane's last letter Be seems to be choice of
his company, and a jWry-leged character
when necessarUy abroad. Was the night
fcile he speaks of American sile ? -The Bal
timore papers speat of a train of cars en
route lately for Washington, D. C, labelled
twine. Carpet bag representatives, no doubt,
from some of tha reconstructed States.
A countryman who will not support the
printer has put up a few written advertise
ments hereabouts advising a sale of his
"goods and cattels."- The chirping of Ihe
blue bird and robin is heard. r Willi cat
water gives universal satisfaction, being soft.
t is extensively used for washing a3 well as
drinking purposes. Ploughing was car
ried on all winter in California.. Only about
every feixth elay was wet.. Property around
the Public Square is rising in value. The
Penna. railroad uses steel rails fur up-grades.
Yours, &c, . , ,Tir..4

Mr. Editor This place is not very lively
at present. Business is dull, and indeed
quiet seems to pervade all circles and locali
ties. We hope for a better state of things
after the moving season is over.
There is some quiet gossip on the comers
of the streets anong the wise men of town
about such topics as the prospects for office,
removals and appointments, the new -Court
bill and the bppy train of consequences
that tnmst result- to our (prominent. feJow
citizens from itf. final 'passage by ;tne' legisla
ture, , But iberi'are Bome'who seem to doubt
bo reasonable a proposition, and some of that
number are disposed to find fault with our
Kbcusburg fiiDd., whom thy ea j ara sel
fish beyond all reason, justice and neighbor
ly feeling-and that they will have the mea
sure defeated. There are others who 6ay
that if the measure should fail by the man
agement of the wire-workers at Ebensburg
next fall will tell a tale of woe that the
north is not loyal anil must be reconstructed,
and that the south must tske care of herself if
the north will not yield. : She will bo Ruffed
when the time nmes for action. '
You have no doubt seen- from the papers
that our old Collector of infernal revenue is
again ou his feet. Indeed they never slipped
from under htm, for a "Hose by any other
name would smell aa sweet,' ... , . - . ,
There Is a nica little- fight here for- the
postoffica.1- ''My brother"' was iu-tpwn this
week on business pertaining tq this ajl .im-.
portant subject. Can the "Iron King" man
age to keep cut1? We shall Eee what we
shall see.'..'' . ' . ' ' . !"
I will' be up at -our place during argu
ment court, which I believe will Be on . the
6th of April, unless we get a- couit cf our
own in the meantime.
I have just beard from one standing near
that the Pa. -It. R. Co. has taken a writ of
error to the Supreme Court in' the evse of
Francis A. Storm, tried at the : December
term of our county, court. Having 6ecxTred
bail in $5,000 ia the persons of ' ex-sheriff
Durbia and Ileete J. Lloyd, , Esq., I had
thought the company got off pretty . w 11 ,
only having to pay tho verdict of $2,000.
They' may go further and fare worso. Pov
erty is certainly not their excuse, as their
profits last year wcio over five millions of
dollars. Their boidd and rwi-itis ara at par,
anil "thereby hangs a tale the people will
learn after awhile. You will hear some
strange things Before long, as the people are
getting ready for a vigorous outbreak. The
Lord only kuows what will bo the end of the
beginnicg. . ' . Reynard.
Get tub Bkt. Mr. Geo. lluntly of this
place has been appointed agent for the sale
of tho celebrated .Etna Mower and
Reaper, Beyond question the very best ma
chine of the kind before the puBlic, and one
peculiarly adapted to this mountain region.
Our farmers should think of buying no other,
as the E'na fu'.ly fills the bill. Go and
see the machine, as well as the hundreds of
other articles f r farm and household use
kept By Mr. Uuntly, whose stock, is exten
sive and prices moderate.
Beware. If anybody should tell you to
day that iomebody else wants to see you, or
should ask you to do anything out of com
mou, think well of the matter before acting,
fqr remember tlm is All Fools Day," and
you may Be. sold before you know it. If
your wife or anybody else should tell you to
go to II. A. Shoemaker & Co. 's store to get
the Best foods and cheapest goods in Ebens
Burg., however; don't hesitate Abnut comply
ing, for you may rest assured yon wilt never
be fjolcd by following tuch good alvice.
As Invitation to All. "Why don't
you buy your groceries from n;e?"' said a
close-fisted trades-man to one of our subscri
bers. " You Jiave never invited me," was
the prompt reply, " and as I only go whore
I am invited. I patronize M. L. " Oatman,
who is constantly inviting all his- friends
and tho public generally, through the col
umns of the Fsekmax, to call at his cheap
grocery store and get bargains."
IIpriNKSS. It is a great mistake to sup
pose that tha more money a man has the
happier he is. Money has nothing to do
with it. 1 f ron live virtuously and honestly,
and bny everything yon need in the way of
jewelry, watches, pcwing machines, station
ery, etc., from Cham. ll berts. and pay the
cash promptly, our word for it you will feel
happier than any king upon bi9 thron-3.
Try it if 30U have not yet done so.
Moving. Nearly everybody that docs
not own the roof that covers his head will
be forced to move his household goods about
this time, but we trust that no oue who
understands his own interests will move so
far away that he cannot find his way back
soon and often to the unsurpnssably cheap
store of V. S. Barker, whose stock is one of
the most superb and varied in this market.

Drinking Toasts. It : was a custom in
ancient times to drink toasts from . nome

rUROIIASE ONLY. TOE BEST.-Ia a
majority ol advertised Bitters important ingre
dients, the necessity of which are plainly indi
cated, are omitted because of their high prices;

the ingredients are in defiance of all settled
principles of pharmaceutical chemistry; others,
HgaFn areratre shams, niJe up of poor whis
ky slightly bittered with aloes and colored in
such a manner1 aa to deceive' the unwary, and
are so nauseating as to- be unworthy of criti

than the disease, wliile vears of experience and
trial have proven Da. Roback's Stomach Bit
ters to be, just.ussreconinjenileJ,, one of the
best remedies extant where a stomachic toxic
and stimulant are iequire'L They .never fail
to "strengthen trier weak, impart vigor to the
strong, and are, in every particular, just what
a stomach bitters ought to be. If you have
svmptomof DvepepsiaMke them freely to
aid digestion. If vou reside in bilious districts,
they ebouid be taken as a suie prevention , of
Bilious Fever and Fever and Ague, Liver
Complaint, Jaundice, and in. all that class of
diseases where there is general
depression of the norvou3 system, lo?s of mus
cular energy, weakres, lassitude, want of ap

of bones, Jre. Aud. as a remedy for female
weakness, Leuchorrhoea, Roback's Bittees

STRONO TESTIMONY From the Con

Hoofland's Gekmax BiT-rras Under this
caption we would call the attention ol our read
ers to a highly scientific preparation, the mer
its of which have been attested by hundreds of
our moet intcllrgent citizens. It has acejuired
a reputation over the whole country n the best
tonic known, and for Dyspepsia and all diseases
arising from a disordeied stomach it bas do
equal. It contains no alcoholic spirits ol any
kind, but is purely vegetable in its character;
nct we Can fully vouch for its curative powers,
having used it ourselves.
HOOFLAND'S OERHAN TONIO
Is a combination of all the ingredients of the
Bitters, with rtrut Santa Cruz Kara, orange,
anise, etc., making a preparation of rare ineiii
cinal value. J The Tonic is nsed tot the same
diseases as the Bitters, in cases where some
Alcoholic'Stimulant is required. Principal Of
