Sg says the Qresnsburg Demo- We are told that it scarcely required ten minutes after the organization of the school directors' convention, on Tuesday afternoon, to attend to all the business that called them together. Th present efficient County Superintendent, T. J. Chapman, Esq., was re-elected without a dissenting voice, no other candidate for the office being named in the convention. A motion to increase the salary from $1,000 to $1,200 waa lest by a rote of 61 to 27. No one better fitted by nature and education for the position than Mr. Chapman could have been chosen, and we congratulate him Dot 60 much on his election as on the fact that it was ac complished without any opposition. "Crow, Chapman, crow !" Huntingdon county aeems to be infested with thieves, and as the disease is contagious and Cambria county near enough to catch it, it would be as well to guard against its ravages in time. Two men were relieved of some forty dollars on the highway, two horses, buggy, saddle and bridle were stolen, but afterwards recovered, a store was bro ken into and some forty dollars appropria ted, sixteen hams disappeared between dark and daylight, and some $803 worth of goods, stolen from Johnston & WatUon, were kmnd hidden among the rocks, about a mile above Huntingdon. All these thefts occurred within a week or two and at dif ferent places, but thus far no arrests have been made. Real Est at Teansmrs.

Hr. P. intends to keep our people supplied with fruits,' fish and Tegstaolee of ail kinds, at loir prices. We bespeak for him a liberal patro&ago. Lifk of Jkkfkrsom Davis. We have been favored with a few advance sheets of a new work from the prolific and entertaining pen of Edward A. Pollard, author of tba "Lost Cane.'r-entitled "The Life of Jeffer son Davis, witn a Secret History of the Southern Conspiracy," and which is about to be issued by the National Publishing Company, No.. 26 South Seventh street, Philadelphia. Mr. Pollard is recognized as a historian of rare merit, and having had the most intimate intercourse with Mr. Da vis throughout the late rebellion, aod hav ing been "benind the scenes" and witnessed the entire workings of the Confederate gov ernment, his "Life of Davis" cannot fail to prove truthful, instructive, entertaining, and in many lespects atartling. The subject matter is treated temperately and without prejudice, and the work is neither an apol ogy for or contemner of the acts of the rebel leaders. It is a plain history, pleasantly narrated, of facts and incidents which every man would bo the wiser for knowing. The work will be sold only by subscription, and agents are wanted in every county. Ad dress National Publishing Company, as above. Child Dssebtion. From the last Johns town Tribune we clip the following item of local news: A woman hailing from Wil more, with a small baby in her arms, called at the house of a resident of Conemaugh borough one day last week, and, upon pre tense thai she was about to rent a house in Johnstown, left the baby in the care of the mistress of the household, promising to re turn when she had succeeded in her object. She did return, and, on some other pretense, again left. She has not yet called for her child, which has temporarily been given to a kind-hearted but childless woman for safe keeping. The heartless mother we learn !s unmarried and the mother of two other children. The father of the deserted babe is aaid to be a resident of Wilmore. We suggest that it is the duty of the officers of the law to look after the guilty parents and provide for the welfare of the child. Roll or XIoxob. A few of the following names were unintentionally omitted by the compositor last week, and the others paid the amounts credited to them se nearly on time that we deem it but just to acknowl edge the fact in this way.

As it falls from the lips of mortals chilled thro', Who declare that such weather they ne'er be fore knew Yet all the while hastening Spring goods to buy From Shoemaker & Co.. whore no one need try To surpass in extent and beauty of stock. Whether in goods for pantaloons, coat, vest or frock ; And who never yet have been nor do not intend To be undersold in prices by foe nau or friend; And on this broad platiorm they always will stand, And welcome kind patrons with morey in hand. "Fihst in War, First ik Piack, and First in the Hearts or the Ccumtbt men." That's not G. Washington, for he's dead. But it if Oak Hall, the big Clothing House at Sixth and Market streets. Phila delphia. In war times it took strong hold upon the affections of the people, because it kept as near as possible to old prices ; and in peace it increases ita popularity by the excellence and ever increasing cheapness of its clothing ; but it is enthroned in the hearts of the "countrymen" because country trade is its speciality. Ir you intend to build a hoase. repair a house, paint a house, or even whitewash one. you can buy all th material you need, xcept the white wash, aod buy it as cheap as any where else, from Geo. Huntley, who keeps a full stoek of building hardware and paints and puts up the spouting when the house is complete. If you don't intend to do any of these things, at least buy your groceries, and such hardware, tinware, and cutlery as you need, from Mr. Huntley, and you will always get the worth of your money. New Sign. John J. Murphy & Co., in the Houston House, Jobnsiown, have just put up a very attractive sign at their store door, which is a sign that they have a great variety of dry goods inside. They have just laid in a new stock of carpets, coverlets, blankets, etc Also, any quantity of dry goods, dress goods, fancy goods and notions. Besides, they sell cheaper than the cheapest ; and keep better goods than the best, and are the cleverest of clever men. Don't fail to call and don't fail to buy something. RmiiT Dress. It is right to dress, and it is right to go. to L, Cohen & Brother's New York Clothing Hall, Main street, Johns town, and buy the right kind of a dress or suit, for a man or boy, at their popular clothing store. You will find them kind and clever men, and willing to oblige by at tention and cheap sales. Yon can't miss getting bargains if you go to L Cohen & Brother. James J. Murfbt. Joe. J. Murphy & Co. keep a dry goods store on Main street, bnt when you want James J. Murphy yon most hunt up the Star Clothing Store, on Clinton street, where yon will find a great supply of ready-made clothing and furnish ing goods far men and boys. He keeps hats and caps and all kinds of men's and boys' wearing apparel, cheap and good. Abkivinq. The various large and small boxee which have been unloaded in front of C. T.(Roberu' jewelry and aotion emporium, within the past few days is evidence suffi cient that the stock of goods he was baying In the Eastern cities has come to hand. A grand opening of things useful and beauti ful is now going on at his establishment all worth seeing and buying. Fortunes Told. Ur. Leopold Mayer still continues to give away dry goods at the Opera House, on Main street, Johnstown. We consider Mr. Mayer one of the kindest, politest, honestest and obligingest man in town. If you want dry goods, fancy goods, dress goods, hoops, ribbons, lace, everything, go to Mayer's store. Spring fashions just arrived. Boots and Shoes. Very few things can be asked for at the store of R. R. Davis that cannot be supplied from his mammoth as sortment, but in the way of boots, shoes and gaiters he has a stock that has never been surpassed in this market, and he de fies competition in prices. Take a look at them. Local CorresposuSencw. Johnstown, May 8, 1869. Mr. Editor Your former correspondent, "Tip." has expressed to me a desire of with drawing from the campaign of writing for yoar paper, and wished me to take his place. As I will have some leisure now, I will try my hand at a letter once a week. "Tip" said something about a big window last week, but neither he or your typesetter mixed it up so that no one could tell what church was meant. I do know that "Tip," was mixed some last week.- Poor fellow! he has had a good deal of trouble of late, and I think it is no wonder that he would be cloudy in his statement about the big window. Upon inquiry I learn that the window to which he referred was the front window of St. Joseph's German Catholic church. It will be placed just above the door, or entrance, and is twenty-eight feet high and eight feet wide. There is not a thousand feet of lumber in the window, bat it took a thousand feet of rough boards to make it. There was a good deal of waste in the lumber, owing to the carved work. This church, when completed, will be the largest edifice of the kind in Johnstown. It is one hundred and tweuty feet long by sixty feet wide, and will be thirty-three feet high, above the mason work, to the eave, and the apex of the roof will be thirty feet above that. Well, as announced in the papers, there was an examination of teachers in Johns town last Thursday and one in Conemaugh last Friday, and aa'l was present at both of them, and stood an examination, I know something about them. In Johnstown there was about forty teachers examined, and it is admitted on all hands that, if grammar is excepted, it was the poorest examination ever held here that is, the answers of the teachers was the poorest. Still, it did not appear to make much difference, as the worst ones, including myself, got schools. I do not wish to be understood as saying that the teachers could not answer the questions asked 1 only say. that they did not. I misswd questions myself that I should have answered. The day was dull and the teach ers seemed to partake of the features of the weather. From the examination the audi ence learned that Gen. Burgoyne surrender ed in Mexico that there are eighteen States in this Union that Pennsylvania was set tled in 1862 that Siberia was in Africa, and a very warm country at that that the Atlantic ocean lies west of Australia, and-so-forth. The teachers that held State and professional certificates, and strangers as we'll as our own, all seemed about alike, so that no one could laugh at the rest. In Conemaugh borough the answers were a little belter, but not as good as the super intendent desired. I feel assured that the teachers can do better, but as they get schools at any rate, it does not make any differ whether they answer well or not. I cannot recall the names of the teachers of Johnstown borough. In Conemaugh the teachers are: Jacob A. Harrold, John W. Trabert. Mr. Wallace, of Pittsburgh, and Miss Mary Griffin. All the schools com mence to-day. The weather is quite wet and cold here, and if it clears up soon, frost may be expect ed. A Isrge quantity of rain fell during the last few days and the waters are quite swol len. I believe that lion. Geo. Taylor, President Judge of this district was here lately, look ing after a suitable place for a building to hold our courts in, but I am not certain that anything has been decided on. There will be both trouble and expense about establish ing the district court that waa not thought of before the bill was asked for. If once established, though, the court will answer a good purpose. I took a walk, with some others, on last Sunday to the Fifth and Sixth Wards, across the iron bridge, which is free on that day, and I was astonished to witness the improve ments on that side of the river. The au thorities are laying water-pipes along every street. Water street is filled up with cinders obtained at the rolling mill, from the bridge to the foot of Yoder hill, and not less than fifty houses have been put up on that side since last fall, when I was last over. The filling up of Water street is a good improve ment, as it used to overflow with water or ice every time the river rose. The iru bridge is a solid structure about a hundred yarils long and is au oruament to the people going by. I see bills or posters up about town offer ing one hundred dollars reward for the re covery of some six hundred dollars which a a citizen of Philadelphia lost in our town last week. There has been a considerable influx of teachers into our two boroughs this Spring from other places, on the principle, I sup pose, that a change of pasture is good for shetp. It is not for want of native talents, for there is some well educated teachers in Johnstown. But I aiust close. Your's till next week. Rob Rot. Carroeltowjv, May 3, 1869. Editor Freeman As your correspondent from this thriving little village has become somewhat irregular of late, and as it is a simple act of justice to your many and in telligent readers hereaway, that we should be represented more frequently in your col umns. I have imposed upon myself the task ef famishing your excellent journal with a semi-occasional lotter, premising it with the request that, as I have never heretofore at tempted to write for a newspaper, you will be kind enough to correct errors, and present my ideas in readable shape. Ia the matter of new Improvements a large and commodious Convent building is now iu process of erection, and when com pleted will be occupied by a branch of the 8isterhood of the Benedictine order. This edifice is located adjacent to the church building, and will be an ornament to eur growing village. Mr. Frederick Snyder has also commenced the erection of a large and elegant dwelling house adjoining the hotel property of Mr. Scbroth. Its dimensions are 80 by 50 feet, two stories in height. A number of minor improvements are likewise being made, and from present indications I doubt not but that in size and importance our town will ere long compare favorably with the ancient village of Ebensburg. Our city fathers have contracted for the building of a lock-op." to be completed by the 4th of July. The citizens of this community are proverbially peaceable and our own requirements do not call for a build ing of this kind, but obstreperous visitors from other places occasionally interrupt the general peace and good order of the neigh borhood, and as a consequence we must be prepared fer them in the fotnre. The weather for some time previous to the latter part of last week was very favor able for farm work, and was taken advan tage of by our farmers. The impression prevails that the severe frosts of last week did not seriously endanger any ef the yonng crops. As an introductory my letter has already assumed considerable length, aod hoping to find news of a more general and Interesting character for the next I will conclude by subscribing myself Bvz Fc.

Please give them a call and look at the late style of Lata, etc., when in Johnstown. . Mat. This may be the month of May. but the weather thus far don't seem to be impressed with the fact. It may be as well, however. May or no May, to bear in mind that V. S. Barker's spring stock is ample in quantity, excellent in quality, endless in variety, and not to be undersold in price.

They have the best wishes of the printer for a long life of uninterrupted happiness, and that may be considered a big thing with which to com mence housekeeping. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE!
