The beau tiful ceremiJEy of decorating with flowers and evergreens the graves of the patriot dead, was for the first time in this vicinity, performed with appropriate solemnity' and grandeur, on Saturday afternoon last. What ever may have been the motives which prompted the inauguration by the Grand Army of the Republic of this commendable custom, tbe ceremonies here, where to post of that alleged political organization exists, were of the most pleasing and edifying char- acter. and were participated in by all classes of our people, without regard to either reli gious or political differences of opinion. In deed, Lleaven itself seemed to have imiled opon this touching tribute to the memory of the soldier dead, for the dark clouds which had mantled the firmament and poured down torrents of rain for several days, and which even hung as a pail over the earth until within an hour or two of the com mencement of the ceremonies, gavo place at lat to resplendent snunhine and balmy breezes, which, as if by magic, dried op the mud upon our streets, and enabled our peo ple to pass over the several routes to and from tbe respective cemeteries almost vm scathed in this particular. At about one o'clock, p. m., tbe people gathered in large numbers at the Court House, where the procession was formed shortly afterwards nndcr the direction of Chief Marshal Samutd W. Davis and Assis tant Marshals John D. Barkley and Wm. H Sechler, while Mr. George V. Browu was placed in command of the Boldier com rades of the fallen braves, who numbered nearly one hundred, and were distinguished by three small and tastefully arranged red, white and bine ribbons, pinned upon the lapela of their coats. After the procession was properly organized a large and hand some American flag borne aloft by the chosen color bearers and a band t f martial music with muffled drums taking the lead, follow ed by Rav T. R.Jones, of the Gngregation al church. Rev. R. C Christy, of the Catho lic church. Rev. W. II. Schell, of tbe Disci plea church. Rev. B. M. Kerr, of the Pres byterian church, the decorating committee consisting of thirty-two young ladies appro priately dressed in white or light colored garments, each bearing a beaatifui boquet of dowers and small crosses adorned with like floral offeriugs and chaste evergreens, the ladies and gentlemen composing the choir of vocalists, the soldiers In line, sixteen of whom carried over their shoulders a wreath of evergreens, one for each grave, aud a large concourse of men. women and children untrammeled by anything like systematic order it moved up Centre btreet tj High, along High street to Julian, and up Julian street to the Catholic cemetery, where a patriotic ode was sang by the choir and a brief but feellcg address delivered and the CXXIXth Psalm read by Rev. K. C. Christy, after which the decorating committee laid floral offerings and a wreath of evergreens upon the gravei cf each of the following named heroes : J. C. Noon, Adjutant 133J Ta. Vol Infan trv killed at Fredorirkaburg, Dc. 13lh, 16:2. 'Thomas D. Litzinger, lllh Pa. Reserves died after his return home. A. J- Litziuger, Drummer, Co. F., 133J Ta. Vol. Infantry died after his return home. Again taking up its line of march, the procession moved down Julian street to Uiga, along Lligh street to Centre, cp Con tie street to Sample, and out Sample street to the Congregational cemetery, where an other patriotic oJe was saug, a chaste oration and a feeliug prayer delivered by Rev. W. H. Schell. and the graveB of tbe following tamed soldiers appropriately dscoraUd : George W. Todd, Major, 91st Pa Vol. In factry killed at Fredericksburg, December 13th, 18(i2. Edward D. Davis, Co. A. 11th Pa. Reeervea died a:W his return home. Evan K. Davis. 1st Lieut., Co. D. ll&th Pa. Vol. Infantry kilieJ at Chancellorville, May 3d, 16CS. Once again taking tip its line of march, the proceasion passed down Caroline street to High street, along which it marched direct to the Union Grave Yard, a bhort distance from town, where the choir again chanted an appropriate ode, Rev. T. II. Jones de livered a most touching and eloquent address. Rev. B. M. Kerr paid tribute to the mem ory of the fallen heroes and added Lib mede of praise to the honor thus shown them, the choir sang another patriotic ode, prayer was offered up by Rev. T. R. Jones and the exer cises concluded with the laying of floral of ferings aud evergreens upon the last earthly resting place of the brave men whoeo name we append below : Hugh Jones, 2d Lieut., Co. C, 209th P. V. I killed at the recapture of Port titeadman. Va , March 25th lfcto. Edward J.EvauS, Co. A,llta Pa. Reserves died at home. Lemuel T.

James Roberts, Army of the Southwest difd iu Pittsburg, Pa. John Libbev. Army of the Potomac died In hospital at Washington, D. C. During the progress of the ceremonies the several stores and nearly all the workshops in town were closed, and the various church aud other bells were tolled at proper inter vals, while the utmost solemnity and deep feeling of respect for the honored dead seem ed to pervade all classes. At the conclusion of the exercises at the Union Grave Yard, the procession returned to town and the par ticipants were dismissed at the Court liouan the whole time "occupied in the work of love being something over three hours. And thus baa been inaugurated among us the beautiful custom of paying tribute to the memory of tbe patriot dead. May each recurring year find in the hearts of the living such feelings of respect for the memory of the honored dead as shall perpetuate for all time to eomo the noble work of strewing their graves with the early flowers of Spring, Ahothss, Pic-Nio at O'Haba's. Whon we say that there is to be another pie-nic on the farm of Mr. Samuel O'Hara, some four miles distant from this place, we think we have said enough to induce everybody who either enjoyed or heard of the one held there last year, to attend, but when we say that the proceeds are to be devoted to the same deserving purpose to which they were given on that occasion, we certainly need not add another word on behalf of the cause or the occasion. Suffice it then to say that tbe pic nic is to be held on Tuesday, June 22d, that dancing in the grove is to be tbe order of the day and dancing in tbe mill the order of the evening, that there is to be "slathers and gobs" of substantial food, confections, mild drinks, cigars and other luxuries, that Mr. O'Hara will extend a kindly greeting and welcome to all who come, and that convey ances will meet the trains on the Branch road at Munster for the convenience of visit ors from distant localities, while like con veyances will run regnlarly from this place to the grounds throughout the day. May the gk-nic prove a complete suaceaf J Local Correspondence. JonstSTowjr. May 31, 1869. Dear Frttman The last week waa char acterized by heavy rains and thunder. In some places hail fell in large quantities, but not in our vicinity. Tbe rains were unusu ally heavy and the winda were strong, but did -not amount to tempests. The waters are considerably swollen.' The specialty of last Saturday, was the military procession that decorated the graves of the deceased soldiers. Early iu the day a streamer was stretched atr-ss that part of Franklin street, between C. L. Pershing'a office and David Dibert'a store, with tbe motto: "All honor to our departed heroes." Thia and a few flsgs hung out of some win dows, were all that marked the day as pe culiar. About two o'clock a committee, but few of whom were soldiers, arrived at Union Hall with wreaths and bouquets. A brass band was iu readiness aad at three o'clock a small procession iuarched, first to the Lu theran graveyard, thouce to the Catholic burial grotnd iu Couomaugb borough, and thence to Sandy Vale cemetery, at each of which places due honors were paid to the dead. We said the procession was siaall. but it is nol to be inferred from thia that the turnout was small. There must have been a thousand people at tLe cemetery where the main performances were conducted. These consisted of prayer, singing, an ora tion by llev. Thomas, and music by the brass band. Five odea were sung -"The Patriot's Grave." "Sweetly Sleep," "Tbe Campaigu's O'er," "'Tis Finished," and "Lay Him Low." We never saw better or der in a largo crowd, every one seeming to be solemnly impressed with the scene. Monday of this week was distinguished by the lact that it was Frank W. Hay's moving day. Everybody knows that Mr. Hay built a most magnificent storeroom for his wares, on Washington street. The building is of brick and was put up in sixty days from the time the first foundation stone was laid. The basement is nearly a hun dred feet long aud thirty feet wide, with an Asbestos flat roof. The first floor is divided into three apartments two rooms, each about thirty by forty feet, with an interven ing room for his patent hoitlinj machine, an office and a stairway. The second story ia similarly divided, the rear room being a work shop, where about ten hands are reg ularly employed, with three presets, and the front room being a ware-room for light castings. The front of the building is made of pressed brick, ornamental work, with very large show windows and very large glass in the .windows of the upper story i But we are now to speak of moving day. When it is considered that Mr. Hay Frank W. Hay, remember has been in the stove business for twenty-two years, it will be readily understood that he has a largely ex tended trade and many goods. Two or three stoves is enough for one day, but what think you of tweuty "Noble Cooks," more "Triumphs," still more "lrou-sides," two score, of "Great Republics." besides an in calculable number of parlor stoves, making in all stoves by the hundred, and pots, kettles, pans, coffee pots, dinner buckots, spouting, sheet iron, wire, etc. etc., by the gross as regards number, and by tbe ton as regards weight, one can have "some idea of Frank Hay's moving day. The first of April was nothing to it. The din and jin gle could be herd two" squares away, but now Ftaiik is located on Washington street permanently, as faw men are located, and we want everybody that comes to town to call and see the new establishment, and if they want anything in that line to be Blue and call on him first, Mr. Hay is also agent fur the Meridan Britiania Company and Sherwood & Co.'s wire goods. Another specialty for the week was the pic-nicof the "Order of Red Men," on Mon day. This wd6 got up Lt the benefit of the German Lutheran church. The attendance Ui said to have been large and the amuse ments end!es3 and pleasant. The amount realized was considerable, but not so large as has sometimes been taken in on similar occasions. The dubiou3 state of the weath er militated somewhat against the pic-nic. The Wallace sisters, lour in number, un der the auspices of certain ogeiits, calling themselves the "Burlesque Troup," perform ed on Friday and Saturday eveciugs, ia Union Hall, to good houses. The Kernvilte school, taught by Mr. Grist, ia to be transferred to a little brick school house on the Union School grounds. Tnis will bring about seveuty more pupils to these grouLds, and a there must Lave wt"Leei near livo hundred there before, it will not add anything toward either Leakl or comfort. We pit-sucoe the directors wer pressed to do this by some citizens who would not send to the old Lousa in Kern ville, but who will j'et learn that that old house is a much better place for children than the Uuiou School grounds,- either as regards health, manners or morals. As soon as the school directors cf East Concmaugh organize, which will be iu a day or two, tLey should consult the Cam bria Iron Company, which lately bought the property of Mr. Hodges, in regard to the purchase of a chool house lot. We have co doubt that this generous and liberal com pany would befriend the cause of education by giving the East Conemaugh people a quarter of an acre for nothing. The com pany would never miss the loss, while the new borough would feel the gain sensibly just new, in their new relation of an inde pendent borough. The contemplated new school bnildiBg In Millville borough has not yet been lt, and will not be till the newly elected members take their seats. The steel works in that borough are progressing Blowly. The main building is nnder roof and the foundation of the engine and boiler house is laid. It will be some time before these works go into operation. It is said that one of onr policemen came to grief on last Friday night, by being dis missed from service for the crime of point ing a pistol. We do not know whether there ia a word of truth in the report or not. We give it as we got it. We do know that there are 'some young folks in town that need just such intimidation, but there are others who do not, and the justice of the act depends somewhat upon who the parties were. We do know that some young people in . this place curse, swear, blaspheme and abuse people as they please, and need more than the mere pointing of a pistol as an ad monition to their souls and an unction to their bodies. Some of them will meet the right kind of pluck some day if they do not reform. Thank heaven, there are only a few of them ! Our worthy burgess seems to bear his honors meekly and to be very guarded and circumspect in the administration of tbe law. We think it is best bo. Wonder if his term will expire in October,' when the new-fangled election will be held for borough officers, or if the term will run for the year? We understand that a plan and plot hire been made for a new lock-op, or rather a large building that will contain a lock-up, cr.nncil rooms, judicial offices, and the like. Whether it is to be built at the borough ex pense, or privately, or at all, is a matter concerning which we are ignorant. On last Monday night tbe Johnstown Literary Society discussed the question of Theatre immorality." during which dis cussion the ch arches earns In for a good share of the blame for the growing tastes of the community in this respect. It waa strongly charged that all our churches have resorted to lotteries, plays, exhibitions, tab leaux, dances, pio-nics, etc., in order to raise money for church purposes.. Most of these charges are true, thongh some churches ig nore dancing, and one church that I know (the Disciples J ignorea the whole aehetne of raising money La any such, way. Yonr leader on "Eight Hundred" created quite a breeze here, and perhaps caused the hail storm at Wheeling for aught I know. The hail that fell t Blairaille, however, can be attributed to natural causes, as "Co vode" came home the day before. Shu re, such an arrival would make the very air bhiver. Bon Rot. Cakbolltowx, June 1, 1S69. Dear Freeman : Thursday last, being the feast of Corpus Chriati, waa observed with the nsbal ceremonies appropriate to the occasiou, in this place. The day commem orative of that upon which our Savior took his final bodily departure from the scene of his labors for the redemption and regenera tion of mankind, is made an occasion of a most imposing demonstration In strictly Catholic communities, as it Is the final act in the long seif-caciificing career of a Mau Ood. who assumed the flesh and died a Cor poreal death that the curse entailed upon the posterity of our first parents might be forever removed. After the celebration of High Mass, a procession was formed of the boys, unmarried men, young ladies, little girls dressed in white, the celebrants, four in number, bearing the Blessed Sacrameut beneath a cauopy, aud followed by the mar ried portion of the congregation, In the or der named, in all to the number of 2.000. Proceeding through an avenue of trees, planted for the occasion, to the graveyard, the procession halted at the beautifully dec orated altars that had been erected at the four corners of the cemetery, and the solemn Beuediction was pronounced. Cold, indeed, must be the heart that would not be moved at this loving remembrance of the sileut sleepers there entombed ; aud to the pious believer in the efficaey of prayer for the dead, what a source of satisfaction was eli cited from thia religious demonstration In their behalf. Mr. A. Yost, one of oar most enterprising farmers, raised the largest and most commo dious barn in this section of the country, on his farm, two miles from this place, a few days ago. About sixty of his sturdy farmer neighbors assisted in locating the heavy timbers, or skeleton work. The barn is being built under tbe superintendency of that excellent mechanic, Mr. Frank Buck. Miss Mattie Wilkinson has opened a sub scription school iu the basement of the church, and the attendance is large. This is tha second school of the kind which baa been Commenced within the past month, and is the very best evidence that the citi zens ff our enterprising village are deter mined to leave their children an inheritance which is better than gold or greenbacks a good education. On Suuday your correspondent paid a visit to the little village of St. Nicholas, lo cated about six miles from here. I was sur prised to find a commodious and elegant church, which was filled to its utmost ca pacity by the congregation worshipping there. After divine service we C tell it not in Gath, Frtemem, that Buz Fux was flank ed on this occasion by a trio of fair ones.) proceeded to the well kept hotel of Mr. N. Larabourn, who might well rival his name sake in Waltar Scott's "Kenllworth." Af ter a stroll through the village and attend ing vespers in the church we returned home, well pleased with our visit. Among the recent and growing Improve ments here I must not fail to notice the fact that our popular hotelist, Mr. Lawrence Schroth has been busily engaged for several wsfcks past in altering and improving his hotel. I believe I can safely assert that he now has one of tha neatest and best ordered hotels in the county. It affords me considerable gratification to observe by the last number of the AUcgha nian that our village can boast of another correspondent from bore a veritable "Fuz zy Buzzy." It is neither my province nor intention to find fault with the lucubrations from tha pen of the AUeghanian's corres pondent, but you see, Mr. Freeman, he makes an unwarrantable assault oa "Buz Fuz." and wilfully and with malice afore thought misconstrues tbe concluding portion of my last letter. "Fuzzy Buzzy" is either a case-hardened old bachelor or else he has been placed in the same pied i cam en t a9 a young mau whom I heard express himself last week. He said he had courted a girl lor more as a year, he had asked her to marry him, but she declined, and that he just reached cut his hand aud told her "he bid her good bye forever." He averred further, that he would have nothing what ever to do with the ladies in future. Per haps the Alleghanian correspondent has met with the same sad mishap, and out of pure revenge wishes to not only insinuate that tha bloom upon the cheeks of our ladies is artificial, but also to questiou the well known gallantry of Buz Fez. Altoona Citt, May 31, 1SG9. Frikd Mac On Friday last a young and promising son, aged about three years, of Mr. Kotbwang, came near losing his life in the fol lowing manner: While the servant girl was engaged in washing she set a boiler ot hot wa ter near where she was at work, and while her back was turned in the act of gathering up some clolhns, the little boy approached the tnb and immersed his arms up to tho shoulders in the scalding water. When withdrawn from the boiling water, the flesh virtually peeled off his little hands and arms, and his ciies of agony were truly heart-rending. The little sufferer is still living and his recovery is hoped for. Mr. Samuel Warner was last week accused of a most singular theft. Improbable as it may seem, he was charged with appropriating to his own use one whole Baan(and)BART. When arraigned for the act he plead guilty, and was sentenced by Very Rev. J. Tnigg to keep possession of the property during his nat ural life. Sam. and his amiable bride have the best wishes of their many friends. Tbe celebrated Fogle Variety Band gave them a complimentary serenade the same evening. They discoursed some very "Rare'' and excel lent music, with all tbe variations. The decoration of the soldiers' graves was pretty geuerally observed here on Saturday last. The Pa. R. Co.'e shops were closed for the purpose of giving their employees an op portunity to participate. What a grand and glorious act (worthy the emulation and prao Uce of every patriot in the land) to annually commemorate the virtues, vslor and patriotism of the illustrious dead. Would that this beau tiful custom had never been contaminated by tbe polluting touch ot that foul poliucal organ ization which has arrogated to itself the sacred duty of honoring the memory of ou patriotic dead. But no, this Grand Army of humbugs must needs have it under their special charge for political effect. The men who "lost" tbeii Uischargea and did the least fighting make the moat noise. Owing to the uncertainty of the weather at this season of the year, it has been decided to place the Catholic children's May party beyond the reach of danger in this particular by post poning the holding of it until the 15th of June. Notwithstanding it is to be gotten up under the auspioea of the children, most ample provision will be made for the accommodation aad en joyment of those of larger growth. So every ooe who i is favor of innoceat recreation and an abundance of good things for the inner man, will endeavor to be present on the 15th of J une. Besides, it is an exceedingly rare occurrence to havo a May party in June. There Is considerable feeling manifested here in regard to the commivsia-ning of Mr. Holland, the newly elected County Superin tendent, and no little doubt exists as to his eligibility. An intelligent ooarospondeut of the Hollidaysburg Szanbarb, writing from this city, state the law ao plainly and fairly that I ca&uot now the State Wuperintendent can give Mr. Holland his commiaaiou. If some of our e:hool directors had as much euergy and ambition as wooden aieu they would rise aa one man and enter their indignant protect against any each perversion of the law aa the commissioning of Mr. Holland. By the way, would it sot be well for some of our City Com missioners, while they are tinkering and patch ing our charter, to get a provi-ion in it for the eleetion of a City Superintendent of Schools, and thus render ws independent of the balance of the county t Yours, Slc, T. 1.

Ten years ago, two little acorns only 32500 each were planted at the corner of Sixth and Market Streets. Untiring industry, en terprise and honesty cultivated and devel oped them and to-day tha great Oak Hall with its thousands of customers and more than a million of dollars of yearly business is tbe outgrowth of such small beginnings. The braucbes of this "Oak" are far-spread, and shady. Men from all parts of the State find protection and refreshment under it and all share with the proprietors the n amber leas little acorns of profit and advantage that grow upon it now. CreccM3CRiBKD ! While tha active member of tbe enterprising firm of Shoemaker A Co. has been spreading Limxelf matrimonial ly, workmen have been engaged in circumscrib ing the limits of the mercantile establishment over which he presides, preparatory to the erec tion of a much larger and more modern addi tion to their store room. For the time being, therefore, a "pent up Utica will contract their powers," but customers will find the chances for buying all they want at just as liberal prices as have ever prevailed in this locality. I f there is any difference, the reduction in space has pro duced a corresponding reduction ia prices. Wnr.RE Located. Three miles wot of Ebensburg is located the rite of the once thriv ing but now almost obliterated village of Beu lab, the no mean rival in its prosperous days of our own mountain village. Three doors west of Center street, on the principal thorough fare of our borough, is located the extensive new dry goods and grocery store of A. G.
