Mr. O. Wolff, the popular, enterprising and
liberal clothier of Altoona, makes known his
ability to sell clothing good aad cheap, while
the unsurpassable establishment of Wood,

An "American citizen of African 'scent"
effected an entrance iuto the dwelling house

Saturday night last, through a window in
the rear of the house. Mrs McL. saw him
go in at the window and apprised her hus
band of the fact, who instituted a search for
the "colored cuss." and finally found him
hidden between two feataer beds in one of
the npper rooms. After making his mark
on the "man and brother Mr. McL. hand

him to this place and lodged him in jail the

Scared at th Ac&ora Thn recent
grand display of the aurora borealis created
quite an amming pauic among a party of
young folks in Susquehanna township, and
which has given rise to no little amusement
at their expense. It seems that on the occa
sion in question a number of young persons
of both sexes assembled at th house of a
neighbor, and while there some of them in
dulged in card-playing fur amusement, and
when the party was abwut to disperse it was
discovered for the first time that something
unusual was trans piling in the blue vault
overhead. Not being posted in things as
tronomical, our young friends concluded at
once that all things earthly were about to re
ceive their quietus and that the day of judg
ment was about to dawn upon them, finding
them illy prepared to account for their stew
ardship. A scene of the wildest excitement
ensued for a short lime, amid which cards
were buraed and the most earnest prayers
for mercy uttered, but as the show failed to
go cn aa was expected, they finally ceased
to "watch and pray," and departed for their
respective homesagreeably disappointed no
doubt at the turn of events, but wiser and
better we hope for the little scarce occasioned
by the sublime and unusual freak of nature.
Ukroic Peat. Yesterday's Huntingdon
Globe says : Engineers of locomotives have
eventfnl lives, as the following incident,
which happened near Petersburg, this coun
ty, one dav last week, will illustrate : An
engineer of a freight train, while approaching
the above named place, saw a child son of
Mr. Denny walking on the track about a
half mile ahead. He immediately whistled,
but the boy did not appear to hear it, and
kept on walking, the engineer continually
whistling; and even reversing his engine.
Seeiag that the boy would not heed, he got
from bia seat on to the cow-catcher, and
caught the boy in his arme, ere the engine
coufd touch him. and thus saved his life.
We have not learned the name of this noble
engineer, but we will be happy to publish
it as soon as we do. for he should be held in
grateful remembrance.
All Riobt. 0. T. Roberts has been miss

goods, stationery, school books, etc.. his ab
sence excites no uneasiness. When Cham. 'a
stock arrives his friends should flock in and see
the many beautiful articles comprised in it.

Johsstoww, April 26, 1869.
Dear Freeman -Th weather here for the
last few days has been warm and pleasant,
while in other portions of the States there
have been violent storms, hurricanes and
floods. We received a letter from California,
dated March 7th, stating that the writer had
been busy that day planting corn, and that
the wheat was knee-deep.
The Associate Judges of the county met
here on Saturday to see about leasing a suit
able building in which to hold our new court,
but nothing was decided upon conclusively.
There are two places spoken of Uaien Hall
and Fronheiser's Hall. There will be con
siderable trouble in getting our new district
court inaugurated, A proper place for the
safe-keeping of prisoners seems to be the
great aisineratum.
The First National Bank of this place has
assumed a new phase (face), and is overlaid
on the outside with gold or yellow paint. It
looks as bright as a new split broom. The
banking house appears much better since the
old loenst trees in front have been removed.
Work on the new German Catholic chufch
has been resumed, and the upper course of
the stone work is being rapidly completed.
The brick work of the German Lutberaa
church ia being pushed forwaid with com
mendable zeai. as is also Frank Hay's new
tin and stove ware depot, oae story of which
is already completed. The front witdo.v
of this church has just been finished. It
took one thousand feet of lumber to make it.
It is 28 feet long by abont 8 feet wide, and
was manufactured at the Johnstown Mechan
ical Works. The brick walls, from the foun
dation to the eaves, will be thirty-three fatt.
and the apex of the roof double that height.
The side windows, twelve in number, will
be about eighteen feet high.
The schools in Johnstown and Conemangh
boroughs will open on the first Monday of
May and keep open from seven to nine
months.makinglprovisions for the instruction
of about fifteen hnndred pupils in eighteen
schools fourteen in Johnstown and four in
Conemangh. While people are so lavish of
their money in other matters it is pleasing
to know that some of it is to be spent in the
education of the rising generation, who will
gladly avail themrelves of these advantages
vitliout any law to compel them to attend.
Next Tnesday is the day fixed for the elec
tion of a County Superintendent. Some of
our directors think that it is quite unneces
sary to attend, as the teachers elected one
last wintej.- It is thought that the attend
ance will be s'lint. little interest being taken
iu the matter. It costs about as much now
to run a common school outside of the room
as inside. In other words, the half of the
money is spent before it gets to the school.
The new school law was passed In 1854.
Since that time about one hundred thousand
dollars a year have been expended in keep
ing up a separate department, publishing
voluminous reports, printing blanks, etc.,
making in fifteen years a total expenditure I
of one and a half million of dollars, and yet
really the great raaj ri.y of the schools are
in no better condition than before said law
was passed.
Wildcat water eesms to be still in demand,
as we notice many pipes hauled along dif- 1
ferent streets and alleys. There is no doubt
but this investment will pay well.
It is said by farmers that the fruit crop
has thus far escaped injury from frost. Be
ing a lover of fruit, we hope the same can
be said the first day of June.
An act passed the last legislature estab
lishing a hospital in this place an institu
tion much needed, as not a few accidents
happen in this vicinity, either at the public
works or on the railroad.
There have boen about eighty interments
in Sandy Vale Cemetery since the firt day
of January last.averaging twenty per month.
This place was only laid out in 1S55, but it
will soon have to be enlarged. The cemete
ry would be an attractive "city of the dead"
were it not that some sacrilegious vandals
pluck the flowers aa fast aa the bud swell
and break the branches of the grewing ever
greens. Rev. C. Taubnr. of the German Lutheran
church, has established a parochial school in
connection with his church. He is evident
ly of our way of thinking, to wit : that chil
dren learn more and behave better when un
der the coulrol of religious tutors.
J. O. Scftou's troui.e were back ler and
gave a peiformance in the Union Hall on
Saturday uight. Somebody is to give a read
ing in Parke a Opera House some night this
.eek.
Mrs. Keerale held an exhibition of her se
lect school in Uniou Hall on Friday night,
and was greeted with a large audience. We
are informed that the exhibition was a suc
cess in every respect.
The garden of Wm. Cushon. in Conemaugh
borough, was entered one night last week
and a valuable pear tree dug up and carried
away. What won't people steal after awhile?
The coroner's jury in the case of Patrick
Boyle, found in the Conemaugh river below
this'place, on Tuesday of last week, returned
a verdict of death from accidental death.
A new schedule goes into effect on the Pa.
R. 11. to-day. The most important changes
are that the Southern Express eastward (a
new train; arrives here at 7.46 a. m., the
Philadelphia Express eastward at 7.26 and
the Johnstown Accommodation at 8.00 p.m.
The Day Express eat ward at 5.16 a. va. and
the Cincinnati Express eastward at 3.86 p.
in. do not stop at Johnstown.

Twexty-fiv Dollars Fine tor Kill
ing a Small Bird. By an act of the Gen
eral Assembly of Pennsylvania, approved
the 31st of March, A. D. 1869, a penalty of
imenty-Jice dollars is imposed for the killing
of aay insectivorous bird ; one-half of this
fine to be paid to the informer. Here is an
opportunity to make twelve dollars and a
half, and render the community effective
service. There is no practice so inhuman
as the killing of the pretty little songsters
that warble beneath onr windows and glad
den ear hearts. It is the duty of every
good citizen to prevent their destruction,
and this can only be done by prosecuting
those who violate the law. The birds that
are classed under the head of insectivorous
birds are robins, martins, swallows, blue
birds, woodpeckers, etc., in fact all the va
rious small birds generally seen in this lati
tude. Going roa Thkm. Messrs. Wanamaker
& Brown. having)spent the past few months
in getting up the largest and best stock of
spring and summer garments ever offered in
Philadelphia, are now busy as bees in dis
posing of it at prices so low that every now
and then an astonished customer has to
turn to his salesman to say, "You aia't
fooling with me, are you?"
This stock wai got np with special refer
ence to the country trade, and W. & B. are
now "going for" the "customers from out of
town." But they needn't trouble them
selves for the country people of these parts,
with an eye to their own interests, axe al
ready "going for" the good clothes at low
prices at Sixth and Market streets.

the receipt of & copy of this valuable and
instructive work from the publishers, O. D.
Case & Co., Hartford, Conn. It is neatly

examination of it. It contains a mass of
information upon neaily every subject which
relates to the government aud the country.
The statistics and other information in re

very popular but will be regarded as a ne
cessity as a standard of reference. Every

Singular Coincidicncic. A rather singular
coincidence occurred at the house of a friend
a dav or two ago. While seated at 'he dinner
table with a little year and a half old daughter
on his knee, his wife left the table, repaired to
another room, and ere long returned with a sew
sundown," which had been honght and trim
med for the little daughter aforesaid. No soon
er had the "sundown'' appeared than there was
a daughter down too she getting down from
her father's knee to "go lor" the "sundown."
When this interesting incident occurred eur
friend was pleasantly employed in munching a
mouthful of bread aud meat which had been
baked from flour and cut from a ham bought
from our enterprising merchant friend. M. L.
Oatman, who supplies his customers with the
best flour and choicest groceries brought to
this place, and does it at such low prices that
ererybodr la pleased, and all are sure to go and
buy from him again. If you appreciate such
pleasant little episodes be sure to buy all your
provisions from M. L. Oatman.
The rALiNDaouK is a line that reads just

the best Is Adam's observation to Eve, "Mad

Napoleon at St. Helena, when asked by the
Englishman if he could have sacked London,
"Abel was I ere I saw Elba." The following
also reads backwards aad forwards peecisely

tence : Shoemaker & Co. 'a Spring stock of
goods is the largest, the most varied, thehaad
Bomest and decidedly the cheapest brought to
Ebensburg this season, but it is true, neverthe
less, as everybody soon discovers who goes
there to buy. They have goods to soil all
tastes and purses, and can either iurnish a house
or clothe and provision the inmates.
Rpfrkshino. The genial showers which
visited ns a day or two ago were quite refresh
ing and opportune, and their effects upon vege
tation have been very marked and gratifying.
Speaking ef vegetation reminds us that now is
the time to seed the earth, and to do this re
quires various implements of husbandry, which
can be obtained nowhere in greater profusion
or at lower prices than from George Huntley,
whose extensive hardware department contains
almost everything from a darning-needle to a
cook stove or a mowing machine, and whose
assortment of groceries, cutlery, silverware,
wall paper, etc., ia as large as the largest and
as cheap as the cheapest.
Platimq it Alow a. The only Ebensburg
er we noticed as mentioned among: tbe partici
pants in the Odd Fellows"celebration in Phila
delphia, on Monday, wai. our young friend
Hartman Berg, salesman at V. S. Barker's
popular mercantile mart. His absence, how
ever, did not interfere with the routine of bu
siness at Mr. Barker's store, where magnifi
cent stock of Spring goods of every descrip
tion is now open for the inspection and pur
chase of customers. Wall papers of beautiful
designs at lowest prices, and other goods in
endless variety.

The natural result of exhaustion of strength
by excessive labor or action, is feeling of
weakness, dullness, heaviness, weariness, lan
guor of body or mind. &. Persons ot a 'weak
constitution, or whose habits are sedentary,
frequently complain of this relaxed condition
of tbe vital energies ; and when persona of a
nervous temperament are thus weakened and
debilitated, disease inevitably follows, unless
it is at once cheeked and overcome. All who
suffer from these causes alike require a reme
dy which will strengthen the system without
exciting it, and awake a feeling of true enjoy
ment so that life may be a source or pleasure.

his mrney. Mr. Davis' Spring stock is meet
ing with a ready sale, because it embraces all
styles of goods at the right kind of prices, ard
people will buy where thev are treated lairly
and liberally.
