Parmelee & Co., Philadelphia, entitled "Our Ku'ers and our Rights, or Outlines of the Uuited States Government ; its origin, branches, departments, offices and modes of operation," by Judge Ansjn Willis. The book contains more than five hundred pages and a number of beautiful engravings, and furnishes more items of information than a column of our paper would afford room to even name. I low the taxes are collected and where the money goea, who have been Presidents aud whohtve been defeated, who ha' e been Cabinet oTicer ai.d other public servants since the fjuudation of the govern ment, together with brief accounts of all the battles that have been fought, from the be ginning of the revolution to the present time, and thousands of other matters of equal interest, will be found in this most valuable work, and the price of it is only $2 and $2.50, according to the style of binding. The book will be sold only by sub scription and agenta are wanted everywhere. Elevatku. The Johnstown TWounesays that Crtsson is 2.000 feet above high water mark at Philadelphia, the Pa. It.

We don't kuow the al titude of Ebensburg, but we know that there is one place in it which i not by any means high in the matter of pi ices, and that place is the popul.tr cheap cash store of M. L.

Dried apples aud peaches, extra family flour, prime bums and shoulders, and good salt by the barrel, are among the latest articles reccivrd at his first class establishment. He will also receive in a few days a general assortment of hosiery and notions. Tue Mosk, tbi lliRRir-B. People used to talk about high prices as something in separable from big stores. Oak Hall has done much to lo away with this foolish preju dice by giving alive example of the L.arget Clothing House io the State selling goods at the lowest prices. And men are coming to understand that the truth is j'lst the re verse and that the houses doing the most bu sinews and so requiring the largest accommo dations are the ones who can and do sell the cheapest. In this as in every tbiug else, ex cept courtship and marriage, "the more, the merrier." The merriest place in town is Wana maker & Brown's, S. h.. corner bixth and Maiket street. The last kail on the Pacific Rail Road was laid with appropriate ceremonies ou Monday.

Dear Freeman We read in the Bible that David numbered the people, but it doesn't say anything about numbering the nouses, in tots respect Johnstown is ahead, for the Council lately passed an ordinance for numbering all the houses ic this city. As I own no house, if you should ever come to town you can find my residence by in quiring for No. . It appeared to be a sin in old times to number the people, but our committee on original tin and tinners think it is no crime to number the houses. We have committee of that kind, but not io the Council, who think they have found the verum primordia of original sin. which are found in the hidicus Coeulue. Having erad icated this sin in themselves they are ex tending their labors to others, and when through this they will try their hands on the Canada thistle. Slander is not included. The Council have also been changing the name of a street. When the Dibert estate was laid out. one of the new streets was named after Rev. Knox, one of the heirs by marriage. It is rumored that a member of Council, who could not purchase a lot from that estate as cheap as if be had been a member of the last Legislature, toek a pious notion to immortalize the name of Grant ; bence he got an ordinance passed changing Knox street to Granl'street. Whether the animus was to degrade Grant or Knox is not pnc'sely known, bat as the street is not yet graded it has in this way been degraded, ajd thsre is some feeling up on the subject. Sundry individuals not known to our vig ilant police took a notion a few nights ago to commemorate the anniversary of rowdy-, ism, and proceeded, during the dark hours, to break a marble slab for John Parke worth $ 25, tear the cave spouting from the residence of David Creed, and carry away the sign of Dr. John Fry. They should be brought up standing before the Committee on O. S. The noxious weed, ycleped 'bargain and sale," which floumb.d so luxuriously in the Legislature of Pennsylvania last winter, is extending its ramifications to places of less note than the Mate Capitol, and it Is not uncommon to hear of treachery, perfidy, fraud and peculation carried on on very small scale. Five dollars will buy many a mau's good will now-a-days, and there appears to be no remedy but to Join our order, where bretherly love" continues. The eld Greek maxim, GrioOti Seauton, seems to be forgot ten in the disingeniousness of modern dsys. Since the adjournment of Congress Hon. Danisl J. Morrcll is again secu traversing our streets daily. Although a political op ponent, it may be said without fear of suc cessful contradiction, that he is the cleverest iron master in the land. He speaks to all alike and wishes all well. There is no re served pride or selfish exclusivensss in his bosom. Hence bis popularity. He is a for midable political opponent, but a clever man. All the taxes imposed this year upon onr citiasns, taken in the aggregate, will amount to more than six per cent, of the assessed valuation. The taxes will be enormous this year, while the price of all articles of food is high and wages low. 1 here will be a de mand for labor, but it will not be adequate ly compensated, and the result will be hard times. It will not, however, affect your correspondent. is he has beeu subsisting on half rations for the last ten years. .Nature is beginning to assume a cheerful aspect, lhe fruit trees are in lull bloom and the tender foliage is beginning to clothe the trees in summer's verdure. Chirping birds ate seeking their mates and the woods resound with choral f mphonies1. ' The broad panorama of love and beauty now spread before the eye makes the heart long for thst blissful shore where Cowers ever bloom, anthems ever swell and slan ders never come. Turning from the .cones of narure to the nurseries of art, we find the common school the leadiug institution, but not what it used be. Out ot twelve hundred children attend ing school in our borough, about five huu- dred are in the primary acaoois, learning to spell and read monosyllables ; about three nuudred are in the second grade and as many in the third grade or primary gram mar schools. This leaves but one hundred for the rolls of the grammar and high schools about seventy for the grammar and thirty for the high. And even in these nothing but the common branches is taught. The average cost of instruction per month in the rrimary schools is thirty cents per pupil. n the grammar school the cost is about one dollar per capita, and in the high school two dollars. This does not iuclude outside expenses. The aggregate cost per month for teaching is six hundred and forty dollars a little over half a dollar per scholar. Turning again from schools to places of amusement, we venture the assertion that the theatres have taken in more money io six months than was paid for education in one year, and that the eating and drinking saloons have taken in more in six months than baa been paid for education in six years, while teachers are not more than able to pay the debts that have beeu honestly con tracted, aud during the vacations will be compelled to subsist, like the gods, on am brosia and ntctar. Yet from the notices al ready placarded about town it appears that the business in the line of amusements is rapidly increasing. Hinc iliac lachrymae. There is a lower class of amusements, to which we must refer. Oae of these amuse ments is riding the velocipede, which seems to have supplanted the base ball. Another is shooting of "dorgs," which is indulged in by our police, mauger the ordinance agaiuat shooting in the borough. A third is talk ing about one's neighbors, judging other's motives, meddling with other's business, acting the censor, the spy, the pimp, and the inquisitor. All these amusements are prac ticed with much gusto. Even friends prac tice just for friendship's sake. Turning front the world, let us take a peep at the churches. In a few months all our churches will be completed. The Uni ted Brethren church will be dedicated on next Sunday. The German Lutheran church is up to the eaves and ready for the roofi ng timber. The German Catholic church is progressing rapid'y. When all these are completed Johnstown and vicinity can boast of the finest places of worship, considering the limited wealth, of any place of like aize m the state. I called on "Rob Roy" and pinched the elastic quill from his unpracticed hand. He can't write a bit.

Poor Tim. was an industri ous, sober and worthy man. Peace to hi ashes.

Church is now hold ing? a Fair, the proceeds from which are to be (applied to the liquidation of the church debt. It is said to be the best ever gotten up in this city. Our Catholic friends are making great preparations to have the very best May party that ever came off in this ''neck of timber," and you may be sure they will not fail for want of energy and experience. For the information of those who appreciate innocent amusement and delicious feasting I will endeavor to annouce the day fixed for tne pic-mc in my next lettter. The office of the Uollidaysburg Radical has been removed to this city, and will here after be published in our midst. WTe have now three weekly papers in Altoona a firm but fair democratic j urnal, a quasi neutral, independent newspaper and a radi cal republican sheet all conducted by able and clever gentlemen. Speaking of newspapers reminds me that the Vindicator (not the red het one) will be printed this week on new type, of which friend Campbell has an abundant assortment with which to do anything from a tiny wed ding caid to a mammoth poster. The ser vices of Howell Swartz, Esq . have been se cured for the local department of the Vindi cator, and there is no doubt of bis ability to do ample justice to that department. As the time for nominating candidates for office will be with ns ere long, I suggest the name of Thad. Banks. Esq , of Hollidays burg, for the democratic nomination for As semblyman, to take the place recently held by that great big nobody, Joseph Robinson. Mr. Banks is a gentleman of unimpeachable character and unflinching democracy, and his nomination could not fail to be received with unbounded enthusiasm. By the way, I learn thatf Robinson is likely to be kicked out of the republican party. If that ahould prove true he will doubless feel like the dis consolate chap did who poured forth his la mentations thusly : "And when I dies, I 'spose From h 1 I will be driven. And forced to loaf about Outside the walls of heaven. Nobody vot I knows To see me or to greet me; No friondly hand to take me in. Nor a darned soul to treat me. Our young friend J. II. Brophy, Esq.. has been made tbe recipient, at the hands of a few of his many friends, of a superb pencil and case, aa a recognition of esteem and appreciation. Mr. B. is a young man of decided ability, and will soon become a worthy aud talented disciple of Coke and Blackstone, the great shining lights of the , legal profession. Yours. Arc, T. I. M. LATER. ANOTHER INCENDIARY HUE. Altoona. May 11 The large and band some stable belonging to Col. Jacob Zink was totally destroyed by fire this morning at about 2 o'clock, a vatuable horse and cow and several hog perishing in the flames. This fire was undoubtedly the work of an mcendiary. I he Colonel has been threat ened with this for some time, and now the hellish work has been but t-x well accom plished. The property of Mr. Win. Elder. adjoining, was very badly damaged. I did not learn the amount of the I'ss sustained nor the extent of insurance. T. I. M. Flock and PKOOcra, Wo take pleasure in inviting the attention of our readers to the card of J. M. Montgomery, in anetber column of our paper. Mr. Montgomery is fu'ly prepared to nil all orders for Hour and produce of all kinds, and also to receive pro duce on commission. To persons wishing to consign produce to tbe Pittsburgh market. or urchaa tbere, we can safety recom men a our young and enterprising friend, J. M. Montgomery, of No. G Smithfiald street, Pittsburgh, Pa. See card. L. O. Q. Tiox. Some questions should be read with an elevation of voice, as "Did you get that cheap dress at J. J. Murphy & Co.'s?" O-her questions should have tbe falling slide, as "Where did you get that new dress?1' Some questions are doubtful, as "Where was it who did 30U get it at J. J. Murphy's, or where ?"' But it matters not so that you do get all your dry goods from J. J. Murphy & Co., Huston House, sign of the big sign, Johnstown. Dbxaiis I dreamed a fearful dream. I thought 1 was riding in tbe cars and they flew from the track into a river of clear water. I thought I could swim, and the water was forty feet deep, clear as crystal. I took up Mayer's dream book Leopold Mayer's d ream book the book of Sybil and found that it was a very fortunate dream. Mayer sells cheap dry goods and dress goods. Op era House, Mam street, Johnstown. Cigars. Some people wouldn't give away a cigar. Other some would. I was passing Leopold & Bro.'s Oak Hall Clothing Store, on Main street, where new cheap clothing of all kinds is kept for tha lowest possible price. Call and see. for seeing is believing. Call at Leopold & Brother's Oak Uall Cloth ins Store and get a new summer suit. I got the cigar. I'm going too. Blub Hats. Very fanciful head cover ings for gentlemen in tbe shape of blue bats are coming into fashion. We saw seveial of them while away from home the other day None have been introduced here as yet, but Vallie Barker keeps a splendid assortment of more desirable and sensible colors and styles, and can fit any head that present itself. Go and see Vallie's stock of summer goods. Si. Anobew. Who was St. Andrew ? There is a difference of opinion on this sub ject, but we do know who Andrew is. Andrew is the man who got his pants all bloody slaying dogs. So he went to L. Co hen & Brother's Now York Clothing Hall and bought another Sunday suit. Do they sell cheap? Well, now just try them on Main street. U Again. We are glad to announce that Rowley Davis has almost. If not entire ly, recovered from his recent illness, and his friends and customers nay expect ere long to greet him behind the counter again. In the meantime his salesmen will sell any and all goods contained in his splendid stock at tbe most reasonable prices, uive uem trial.
