A white man named Wilson and a negro

their whereabouts thus far has not been as

Mr. Jamea Kelly and wife, who left this
county and settled in California almost fif
teen years ago, paid our town a brief vi&it
during the present week, having included
their old Cambria home in an extended
tour which they are now making, and which
takes in a sojourn in Ireland, France and
Italy before they refirn nextSpring to their
home on the golden shores of the Pacific.
Mr. Kelly has prospered exceedingly during
his residence in California, and we believe
he is now reckoned among the wealthiest
men iu thnt State.
Seme three weeks ago "Chaplain" W.
T. Davis concluded the third year of his
service as mail aiessenger between the post
office and railroad depot at this place, and
during all that time he has faithfully,
promptly and satisfactorily performed his
arduous duties, regard let-a of inclement wea
ther or other adverse circumstances. If it
be true that the "laborer is worthy of his
hire," then indeed has the "Chaplain"
earned his scanty pittance, and time it is
thnt his reward should be increased much
beyon 1 his present wages.
Dr. Thomas F. Campbell, late of Altoona,
a practising physician in Johnstown, died
in the latter place on Sunday morning, 16th
inst., from an overdose of morphine which
ho had taken to allay a painful attack of
neuralgia of the heart and lungs, a disease
to which he had for some time been subject.
Mr. O. was a young man of excellent char
acter and more than ordinary ability, and
his sad and sudden death has awakened the
sympathies of the entire community in be
half of the young wife and one child thus
left husbandlesa and fatherless. His remains
were taken to Greensburg for interment.
The agent for Bryan's graud circus and

of Court, when our publio houses are all
filled to their utmost capacity, has been
forced to adverth-e an exhibition, day and
night, at Summitville, nt .e 9th Ju to
be followed by a like exmbition at Johns
town on the day following. It is probable
that an excursion train will ruu from this
place on that day, but of this wc shall know

At a meeting of surviving soldiers and citi
zens, held at the Court Ilouse on.Thnrsday
evening last, the following order of exercis
es was adopted for the approaching decora
tion of the graves of those fallen heroes who
"sleep their last sleep" in the cemeteries iu
this vicinity.
The proce?sion will form at the Court Souse
on Saturday, Hay 29th, and be leady to more
at 1 o'clock, p.m. It will be composed of one
divinion, to be under the com-niand of a Chief
Marshal and two A.'siatante. The cavalcade
will pass over soch routes to the different cem
eteries as the Chief Marshal and hit. Assistants
m ty hereafter dosignate, in the following order:
Martial Band.
American Flag, draped in mourning.
Officiating Clergymen.
Decorating Committee of Thirty. Young Ladies

Orand Division, in such order aa the Chief

Socked Is. Jonah wrote to his father
after the whale had first swallowed him,
stating that he thought he had found a good
opening for a young to go into tho oil busi
ness ; but afterwards wrote for money to
bring him home, stating that he had bean
'-sucked in," as M. L. Oatman had secured
the right to manufacture the "non-xplosive
Metropolitan Oil." which was giving such
universal satisfaction to parties burning oil
that they would have no either. The right
to manufacture and sell this celebrated oi'
in Cambria county is held by our friend
Oatman, who wil! dispose of township, store
and individual rights very low. He is con
s'ant'y manufacturing this oil, and parties
can get it at his store either by the quart or
ga'lon, and cau also buy from him the best
flour and the freshest groceries of all kinds
offered fir sale in this market. There is no
discount on the goods sold by Oatman, but
a heavy eliacount on prices, which aro al
ways cheaper than the cheapest.
Hearth ahd Homk. This excellent fire
side weekly, now in the fifth month of its
existence, has won its way to a popularity
and patronage annals of unequalled in the
newspaper literature. It is the most perfect
and valuable djpository of agriculture', liter
ary, scientific and general knowledge we
have ever peruse., and should find a wel
come in every household. The last cumber
commenced a fine story, by Mrs. Kelson,
entitled "Marrying Wei'," which promises
to be fully worth the price of a year's sub
scription. Address Hearth & Home, 37
Park Row, New York.
The. Matrimonial Market haa been
extremely active for the past few days, quite
number ot marriageable daughters having
changed hands. We can only hope that the
several investments will prove pleasant and
profitable ones, and that our young friends will
not forget that very many of the indispensable
articles for housekeeping cau be purchased at
the extensive establishment of Geo. Huntley,
and that too at as fair prices as from any other
dealer. Stoves, tinware, table cutlery, wood
and willow ware, groceries, and hundreds of
other things comprised in Mr. H. 'a stock, you
will need with which to commence business.
Tkt Frt! In a half column adver
tisement in our paper to-day everybody is in
vited to "try Fry when they want to buy" any
of the thousand and one articles comprised in
tbe new and magnificent stock of goods just
opened by him in tbe rooms recently occupied
by R. H. Tudor. The ladies say that cuch a
handsosae and complete stock has never here
tofore been offered for their inspection and pur
chase in this community, and Mr. Fry is deter
mined to merit a liberal patronage by selling
his goods at wonderful low prices. Buy from
Fry and you may rely on getting a fair return
for your money.
The weddings are all over, the big show
is not going to exhibit in this place, decora
tion day will soon be passed, and then then
only cause of excitement which will be left
our people is the very agreeable sensation
which all can experience in purchasing dresa
goods and dry goods, carpets, furniture,
grocerie, etc. at the renowned cheap cash
store of Shoemaker & Co., where there is
stock enough to suit rich and poor alike.
Go and see, and go at once.
"Suited to a T." IT you appreciate
a good cep of tea, or a palatable cup of coffee,
don't forget that V. S. Barker is sole agent for
the Empire Tea and Coffee Company of New
York, and in purchasing from him you can not
only save from 25 to 60 per cent., but you may
depend upon getting a better article than has
heretofore been sold in this community. Ex
amine the prices and test the qualities of these
Teas and Coffees before purchasing elsewhere.
Take Heed ! In five more weeks R.
R. Davis designs to remove to the rooms in
the East Ward formerly occupied by E. Hughes
ft Co.. and from now until that time he propo
ses to sell all articles comprised in his stock t
vibst eosr, in order to lighten the labors of
moving. Everybody needs what Davis has for
sale, and all classes should avail themselves of
the opportunity now afforded for securing good
goods at extraordinary low prices.
Be ThoC Clad ! Passing J. J. Murphy
store our eye caught the above notice, and
we juat thonght it was right. To be clad
mcana to be clothed, and to be clothed
means to go to J. J. Murphy's Star ()
Clothing Store and buy about fifty dollars

wortn ot uneier clothes and over clothes and
gent's furnishing goods generally. Clinton
street, Johnstown, Pa. New stock received.
J. Mcrpht & Co.. and rood company at
that, because they keep good dry goods at
their rooms in the Houston House, Johns
town. They receive new goods constantly by
Ad ams' Express and otherwise, which they
sell very cheap, and no charge for a little
talk and showing goods. They are emphat
ically the cleverest dry goods firm in town,
and you can make it pay to buy from- them.

Johnbtows, May 24, 1869.
Dear Freeman Here I am sitting alone,
except that a few mice come out and trip
over tbe floor jest for company. We have
honorable mice; they will steal a little, just
the crumbs from a rich man's table, and I
feel rich to-day, but I never knew one to
back bite or slander. We have some rats,
too. but they are not like Johnstown rats
geuerally. Their depredations aro bold and
opetr na meanness in therr acts.
I am writing on- the kitchen table. A
cocoa nut is lying before me, and two or
anges at my right. These and my old hat
and a box contaiuing pens, ink and some
paper, are all ihrt furnituie of my laboratory.
We had a frost last night, but the sun is
shining finely now. and one would hardly
know that Jack had been bobbing around.
We have strangers who are in the parlor
and of course we have to take the second
cabin. That is always the way. Big fish
eat little ones.
We attended the Literary Society on last
Monday night ar.d we were admitted to the
privileges of the floor, with but one dissent
ing voice, and stiango to say, his name was
Frteman.
We have beon perambulating the town
for locals and cannot find any. except that
the old graveyard, south of the Union School
House, is in a very dilapidated condition.
Hence, it is suggested that the borough au
thorities take charge of the lot, sell the
ground, remove the remains of the deceased
to Sandy Vale Cemetery, and then seli the
lots to pay expenses.
The Soldier's Orphans were here and held
an exhibition. Two hundred and four an
swered to their names at roll call. Some
wero laughing and some were othencise.
Tho journey through the country and on the
road bore down upon their constitutions,
but they went through and earned over five
hundred dollars, which will go to the bene
fit of somebody. The Soldier's Orphan
School would be a good institution if the
spirit of the law was carried out to the letter,
bi't it in't.
We have had two or three exhibitions
here of ihe "nero minstrel" 6tyle, but they
were not well attended. Yesterday another
negro minstrel troupe arrived. We do not
know what luck awaits them. Mimicking
1
darkies des not pay now-a-days.
Since the Orphans have btea here we 1
have wondered what becomes of the four
hundred thousand dollars that the Legisla
ture appropriates annually for their t-uppe rt.
It is said that one orphan is allowed only
one hnndred and forty dollars a year.
Though that is m re than our children get,
yet it is not by any means the share of one
orphan out of that vast amount. We are
just collecting fume statistics on the subject.
The weather here is various and beauti
ful aad bland, sprinkled with frost and ana
shine just for variety. If tho days keep on
succeeding each other for a while wo will
soon have summer.
Next Saturday is set apart here as a day
to be spent in decorating the graves of sol
diers wi.h flowers. The patiiotic dead
should be in some way remembered, and
this way is perhaps as good as any.
Considerable excitement was created on
the public tqiare, last Saturday evening,
by the vending of patriotic whistles. The
gentlemen who sold them could wh'stle like
a bird, and rqueal like a pig. The latter
did not excite much wonder as he looked so
much like an adult p;g himself.
It is generally conceded now that thers
will bo no railroad built this summer to
Somerset, aa one Stutzman has agreed to
walk the territory over as labt as a train
could possibly go.
Several persoLs hereabouts who useJ to
act as clerks on election boards, have de
clared that they will not peiforrn duty next
fall under three do'l 13 per day, as both
elections are he'd on one day. This is per
fectly right. hen two days work are
done in one, men ought to get two days pay.
Ihe excitement about the District Court
has almost subsided, though there is occa
sionally a little jealousy maaifested by some.
otherwise clever folks, m regard to anything
sa'ul on the subject. Hence we have kept
entirely aloof ou the question.
A lady called at a butcher shop on Satur
day and averred that she had bought some
meat from said butcher to wit, namely, a
a lice of ham which was infested with
irichea, or something else ifiensive to the
taste and smell. She said they ate it, but
wouldn't do so again. The committee on
O. S. is about to investigate the matter.
A new wholesale liquor store is convng
to town ; also a new hardware store. The
liquor business of the place must be increas
ing, or there would be no demand for new
firms. More work for the committee.
The Sabbath day is not kept very holy
about town. We pee parties going out
every Sunday, seeking pleasure. The
wealthy go iu carriages and the poor on
foot. We see crowds of boys playing ball
all day just under their parents' noees.
Where is the committee ?
A donatian of cne hundred and fifty dol
lars was made by sundry individuals to the
orphans while here. This is right, and we
wish it had only extended to one of our near
est neighbors who has to work day and
night to keep his large family. He is liter
ally killing himself, working and losing
sleep, but it must be done. Rob Rot.

Mr. Thomas Class, of Ebensburg, " and
Miss Alice Fox, of Washington township.
The printer man is so overwhelmed with
wedding gifts just now that he can scarcely
find words with which to express his grati
tule and well wishes, and therefore hopes
that his feelings rather than his expressions
will be accepted as most befitting the hap
py occasion. With the above announce
ment came a large and luscious pound cake,
and as all such delicacies are to be eaten,
the typos of the office aid the big and little
folks of the household went to work with a
will to accomplish that pleasant task, and
as tho sweet morsels went down the thoughts
of all were busy in mentally wishing to our
young friend Tom and his fair and amiable
bride a long life of unalloyi felicity.
We congratulate Tom on the happy result
of his Fox chase, and sincerely hope that
the fair creature whom be has promised to
love and cherish while life lasts will ever
find in her own Olass the reflection of all
those charms and graces which pleases the
eye and gladdens the hearts of all true and
devoted spouses, and makes them cling
more fondly and affectionately to their
chosen mates.

ROBINSON ROBERTS. At the resi

Tuesday, 25th inst., by Rev. B. M. Kerr,
Mr. Geoboe Robinson and Miss Aggie
Roberts, all of Ebensburg.
DIED,
BOLAKD. At Summitville. at 12 o'clock
onSanday, May 16th, Mr. Thomas W. Bji.axd,
aged 30 years and 6 months.
The deceased was born in the vicinity of his
death, and was throughout life highly esteemed
for his noble qualities of mind and heart. Be
sides receiving tbe full benefits of a common
school education, he graduated with first class
honors (for rapid progress in his studies and
most exemplary conduct) at St. Francis Col
lege, Loretto. Up to this time he was some
what delicate in constitution, but after his re
tirement from school We became stout and ro
bust, and erelong detei mined upon a trip to
the sunny South. Alter a brief sojourn in Ar
kansas, however, he lost his health and was
forced to return home, where he soon regained
his strength, and shortly afterwards became
connected with tho firm of Ceolbroth, Hasty &l
Co., of Hollidaysburg, in the manufacture of
"shook," of which business his mechanical ge
nius and pcrseveiiug industry soon made hint
the master. Iu this business he continued for
about eight years, and made it rrofi table. At
the age of twenty eight he married a most es
timable and beautiful young ledy, but ere one
month of wedded bliss had passed aWay his fair
young bride was attacked by that fell destroyer,
consumption, and within eight days of the first
anniversary of their wedding her pure spirit
passed from earth forever. The stricken bus
band, himself severely afflicted with bronchitis,
was, in November last, advised by his physi
cian to visit Cuba for the benefit of his health.
This advice he complied with, but had not
much more than reached that tropical climate
when he contracted the bilious fever, which
confined him to bed for four mouths. Recov
ering sufficiently to undertake the journey, he
set out for his parental home, and reached it
only to linger six weeks longer, when death
put an end to his earthly sufferings one year
and four months exactly havirg intervened be
tween the death of his wife and his own demise.
Throughout bis illness the deceased bore his
Bufferings with the utmost patience and resig
nation. He retained hie senses to the last mo
ment, and calling his friends to his bedside,
told them his last hour had come and bid them
alia final and affectionate farewell. He died
as he had lived, a moral, exemplary and faith
ful member oi the Catholic Church, and there
is every reason to believe that be has been call
ed to enjoy the rewards of a well spent life.
His early death is sincerely regretted by a large
circle of relatives and friends. May he rest in
peace .
SWOPE. At her residence in Chest
township, on Friday. 2lst instant, Mrs.
Mart J., wife of John M. Swope, Esq , and
daughter of F. Cooper, Esq., aged 83 years.
Tbe deceased possessed in an eminent
degree thoM special graces of mind and
character which never fail to endear the
possessor to all with whom they hold social
intercourse. As a daughter and sister the
remembrance of her kind and loving dispo
sition will long linger in the memories of
those from whom death has so rndely parted
her, and as a wife the almost heart broken
Tif of htr husband (to whom she was mar-
ried less than one year) is the most Ixfimg
testimonial that can be offered ;to thefnany
noble qualitiesjmanifested during herXrief but
happy ma?ried life. Her renins . with
those of her infaat daughter, the innocent
cause of her early demise, were followed to
theit final resting place, on Saturday last,
by & large concourse of sorrowing relativos,
friends and neighbors. May her soul rest
io peace.
HUDSON. At the residence of his father,
at Hemlock, on Friday, 21st inst., after a brief
illness, Jakes HcosoK.aged tdout 19 years.
Thus has passed from- trine to eternity, In
the fullness of yoathful vigor,' a young man,
kind, affable and obliging by nature, aad one
who was always ready and willing to lend a
helping hand to the distressed, to add his ndte
ia purport of the poor and needy, aad to assist
in his humble way iu adding to the comforts of
all classes. His social qualities, moral habits
and pleasing manners endeared him to the en
tire community in which he lived, every mem
ber of which deeply sympathize with his rela
tives and sincerely mourns his death. We
hope he has passed from the troubles and vicis
situdes of this life to everlasting glory in those
realms "where the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are at rest." May he rest in
peace. j
