The Mkhobiai. Ccbsmohiss. 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.

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. M.

Gsbat Oaks Fbom Littls Acorns.
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. Fry,
which stands without a rival in the extent,
beauty and cheapness of its stock, and in the
prosperity which has thus far smiled upon its
enterprising proprietor. You may always rely
on good bargains from Fry.
PcMrs. Among tbe innumerable arti
cles of intrinsic merit kept by George Huntley,
the well and cistern pumps manufactured in
Johnstown and sold by him stand unrivalled in
simplicity, cheapness and effectiveness. They
are beyond question the most perfect, satisfac
tory and endurable pumps in the market, and
no man who wants to avoid trouble and save
money in this particular should buy any other.
With these as with all other articles which Mr.
Huntley has for sale, the prices are exceeding
ly moderate aud the quality unsurpassable.
Going to Sail. It ia rumored lhat
John J. Murphy, of the firm of John J. Mur
phy fc Co., dry g'odsmen, at the Scott (Hous
ton) House, Main street, Johnstown, ia going
to sail for Ireland. This is not the cae, but
tbe rnistak may have arisen from the fact that
tbis firm are going to make a great sals of dry
goods. In fact they have a great sale everv
day. That is tho kind of a "sail" that Mur
phy A Co. will make.
Passiko Awat. Time in its rapid
flight is taking with it the opportuuity Cur pur
chasing very cheap dry goods, carpets, boots
and shoes, notions, groceries, etc., from R. R.
Davis, who has made a very liberal reduction
in the prices of all commodities comprised in
his extensive assortment in order to close out
his stock as near as possible "revious to remo
ving his store. .Now i the time to purchase.
Pkettv. Thei'e is nothing prettier tlmn
a pretty lady prettily dressed in pretty goods,
made up in pretty style and prettily adorued
with pretty trimmings. Pretty goods and pret
ty notions for pretty ladies can always he found
nmniiaorl in lViAnrettv aanortment rfiar fur
sale at prettv low prices by V. S. Barker, deal- j
er in all the pretty commodities wmcu preity
fair ones are pretty sure to consider pretty.
Grkat Inducements. We eaw a ri
diculous advertisement in a newspaper the oth
er day, which was headed, 'Five dollars in
greenbacks given away I" Now this was all
nonsense, but Jas. J. Murphy, at his Star ()
Clothing Store, Clinton street. Johnstown, will
give such bargains in the clothing line as will
enable one to save five dollars in greenbacks.
Call ou Murphy and try your luek.
"Poftinq the Question." A younp
gent called on a young lady of Johnstown last
week and popped tho question. She rep1 ied,
"Yes, if you will go to L. Cohen h Bro.'s New
York Clothing Hall and buy an outfit suitable
for the occasion." Said she, "When I walk
the street with you I want you to look spruce."
He went accordingly and spruce is no word for
his looks at present writing.
Leopold & Brotueb, clothing men, at
Oak Hall Clothing Store, Main street, Johns
town, are an old, well tried firm, have the con
fidence of the community, and sell many goods.
They have just received a new supply from the
East, and are prepared to accommodate all who
call with all kinds Of gents and boys' furnish
ing goods. Mind Oak Hall I
Hoe Ax. Soma of tho sensational
items about Johnstown in our clippings are
said to be hoe axes. We can't help that as we
clip, but it is no hoax to say that Mons. Leo
pold Mayer, Opera House, sells good dry goods,
cheap dry goods, new dry goods, latest style
dry goods , and' more dry goods than any one
firm in Johnstown.
