Bro Show Coming. We have heard of
no arrangements for anv general or special
celebration by our people of the approach
ing enniversary of American Independence,
but iu lieu of this we are promised a grand
and varied entertainment on Saturday next,
July 3d. on which occasion Profs. Hamilton
and Rawdon announce their intention to give
two exhibitions .afternoon and evening.in this
place, of the celebrated performing horses.
Sir Henry and General Sheridan, the won
derful trick mule, Dan Rice, and a troupe
of Dacotah Indians, fresh from their native
bnmea in the western wilds, bir Uenry is
one'of the'raost perfectly educated animals in
this country, and bis performances, as well
as those of the beautiful horse Gen. Sheridan,
never fail to excite the astonishment and ad
miration of all beholders. The wonderful
performing mule, Dan Rice, will do many
astonishing feats and tricks never before at
tempted by one of his species, and his per
formances alone will repay a visit to the
show. The troupe of Indians will exhibit
the several dances peculiar to the Dacotahs,
sing soiigs and perform various ceremonies,
rites, games and feats which cannot fail to
interest and instruct all who witness them.
A grand Indian cavalcade will pass through
town just previous to the afternoon exhibi
tion. Tha pavilion is capable cf seating
1500 persons, and excellent music accompa-It,-
AntPrtamment. The admission
price to this grand combination is only fifty
cents, and to the negro minstrel concert
(which follows under the same canvass, and
which, as wen as the Stereopticon exhibited
in another pavilion, belong to a one-armed
soldieO the admission price is only twenty
five cents, the same as is charged for en
trance to the Stereopticon exhibition. Chil
dren under twelve years of age will be ad
mitted to the big show for 25 cents. Door
open at 2 and 7 o'clock, p. m." '
St. Francis' College. We could not
resist the temptation of attending the nine
teenth annual commencement at St. Francis'
College, Loretto, on Tuesday, and we enter
tain no regret for having done so except that
it has delayed the issuing of our paper for a
few hours. The exhibtion of the pupils was
all that could reasonably have been ex pec tad,
and the efforts of many of them were better
than the most uanguine could have anticipa
ted. Where all did so well it is perhaps in
vidious to refer by name to any of them, but
we cannot refrain from mentioning our young
friends, George J. Akers, of Johnstown, J.
Rhey Boyd, of this place, and W. C. Still
wagen, of Washington, Pa., who performed
their several parts with the highest credit to
themselves and to the entire satisfaction of
the large audience in attendance. These
three young gentlemen not only sustained
the leading characters in the Drama and
Farce enacted, but each of them delivered
an original oration (that of Mr. Akers being
the Valedictory Address) which did the ut
most honor to their minds, hearts and pow
ers of elocution, and marked them for future
greatness as thinkers and orators. The ora
tion of Mr. Still wagen on the "Love of
a Mother," was a beautiful tribute to that
holiest of all human affections, and the
death-bed scene, so vividly and powerfully
painted, drew tears from the eyes of many
in the audience whom death had deprived of
a mother's presence and a mother's love.
The instrumental music, as well on the
brass instruments as on the violins and piano,
was of a most pleasing character and elicited
universal applause, while the comic song of
Mr. J. R. Duffy, who acquitted himself
throughout with distinguished ability, was
encored with much enthusiasm.
The diplomas for book-keeping and pre
miums lor excellence in other branches, as
well as fot gol conduct, were annonnc?d
by the President of the College. Rev. Father
Blown, and the pupils towhom they were
awarded stepped forward and received them
from the hands of the Rt. Rev. M. Domenec,
and at its close the good Bisbop delivered a
brief but feeling address, replete with words
of congratulation, encouragement, and good
advice. Of the few diplomas awarded Met-srs.
J. Rhey Boyd, Edward Kittell and Ferdi
nand Todd, all young Cambrians, obtained
one each, and these as well as Geo. J. Akers,
Randolph Myers, Daniel Con very, Mc
Gonigle, Alphonsus Ward, and other stu
dents belonging to this county, came in for
a fair share, aud several of them for a lion's
share, of the valuable books awarded as
premiums. All the pupils gave evidence of
rapid progress in their studies during tha
scholastic year, and tone exhibited greater
proficiency as a class, if the premiums can

Chaplatn Davis Rbdivivcs. Below will
be found the letter of this gentleman to
which we referred last week. Chaplain Da
vis is one of the institutions of our town and
enjoys a widespread reputation. That he
is a man of great political sagacity aud dis
criminating judgment is apparent from the
tone of his communication. He has never
held anv office, from the fact that he is too'
honest to descend t j the low tricks of the
professional politician. His admirers hoped
to see his claims recognized by the party
now in power, of which he is a living and a
shining light. But owing to his innate mod
esty, fate decreed it otherwise, and like many
oher great men, the Chaplain is left to waste
his sweetness on the desert air. Although
he evidently has a supreme contempt f r
Kirkham and Webster's Unabridged Dic
tionary, that is merely a weakness inherited
by some of our most prominent men T. C.
Sprague. of Chicago, the faithless lover of
Amanda Craig, for instance. Surely there
is hope f.ir the democracy when a man like
Chaplain Davis enters his solemn and Bibli
cal protest against the lank corruptions of
the leaders of the radical party. But here is
the Chaplain's communication, whick we

Local Correspondence.
Johnstown, Jane 28. 1869.
Dear Freeman A letter from central Cal
ifornia states that the people are harvesting
wheat there now and that the wiiter, with
others, on the 10th of June, were down a
river gathering blackberries, of which there
were tons of ripe fruit. The cattle destroyed
about one-fourth of eight hundred acres of
wheat, still be calculates the balance of the
crop worth at least 1 4, 000. Great country,
truly. The letter came through in seven
days.
On Saturday the Society of St. Joseph
held a pic-nic in Wood vale, formerly Mur
ray's Grove. The St. Peter's Society ac
companied them and remained during the
greater part of the day. About 9 o'clock
the St. Joseph's Society formed in precession
on Clinton street. The St. Peter's Society
marched from St. John's church, accompa
nied by the Silver Cornet Band and bearing
aloft a banner that is said to have cost
$250, and joined the other society when
both paraded several streets, and then pro
ceeded to the Grove, where dnring the bal
ance of the day. they indulged in dancing
and other civil amusements. There was
about one huudred members of each society
out. Showers of rain interferred frequently
with the amusement, but the folks seemed
not to regard the wet much. There were
two dancing platforms, and several stands
for refreshments, the most attractive of
which was that of Wm. and Rose Gtis. which
was beautifully festooned with wreaths of
evergreeus and arches vaiiously det-ined and
trimmed.
The old United Brethren church is being
refitted for private dwellings. It would
certainly have paid better as a hall for en
tertainments of a small character. It will
require a great deal of refitting to shape the
windows and doors for a dwelling bouse,
and then the ceilings will be so high as to
be out of all proportion.
The Sefton troupe was : here again and
performed on Saturday night in Uuiou Hall.
Miss Kate Raymond will appear for six
nights, in the great Easteru spectacle of
"Mazeppa." She will be assisted by Wm.
O. B. Collins and a full force of metropolitan
artists. The Hudson Company was to be
here, but their agent, Mr. Fiizimmons, was
too tardy in procuring a hall.
The German Lutheran Church is getting
a roof on, aud will soon be completed, ex
cept the tour, which goes up about seventy
feet yet. The St. Joseph's Catholic church
is nearly up to the eave. 1 he monstrous
front window is in its placs now. It is
thirty-eight feet high.
The Turners' Association will have a pic
nic at Van Leunen's grove on the 5th July.
The Catholics connected with St. John's
church will hold a pic-cic, on the 3d of July
f jr the benefit for the parsonage. Several
ether pic nics are spoken of, arranged on a
smaller scale.
The local of "Fossil" iu the last Johnstown
Democrat created some sensation here, but
we are inclined to think that "Fossil"
draws heavily on his imagination. What
would such an old superanuated biped as he
is be doing out at eleven oVIock.at night f
We have had a week of very growing
weather, and the warm showers bring on
the vegetation amazingly. The farmers
are making up in the growth of crops what
tbey lost in time. Strawberries, radishes,
onions, lettuce, peas and beans are plentiful
in market already, some of them being pro
duced in the neighboring gardens.
The nomination of Geary did not either
excite or alarm the Republicans hereabout.
They don?t expect to win the day at any
rate, and they think Geary may as well
stand a defeat as any one else.
We t'..ok a poep at the M. E. Church on
Saturday. The stained glass windows are
put iu iu front.aud the scaffolding is taken
down inside. The plastering and frescoing
cannot be excelled, and the mouldings aud
fancy work are superb. The seats are not
put in yet, but this church, when completed,
will outshine anything iu town, so far, iu
the shape of a church.
A programme for the organization of the
District Court is out. Gen. James Potts is
to be the orator. The members of the Bar
will be sworn in on Monday, the 5th of July,
and the jury charged, etc. The Hall is not
quite ready, as there is no plastering done
vet. but as there will not be much business
the first Court, this fact will not militate

Court.
Teachers are looking forward to the day
when au announcement will be made for a
long vacation. Directors should consider that
teachers are not like the gods in at least one
respect they cannot live on nectar and am
brosia. A bricklayer from Huntingdon county,
named Isaac Lamp, fell from the scaffolding
of the German Catholic church, on Saturday
last, to the basement, where his head
struck a board, making a frightful gash.
He is lying at Shoemaker's hotel. It is
thought he will recover. Rob Roy.
Altoona City, June 29, 1869.
Friend Mac On Saturday last a young
man named William Leob met with a most
terrible accident in the following manner :
He was employed by the Pa. R. R. Co. to
attend to the greasing of the machinery in
the planing mill, and while attending to that
duty it is supposed that a portion of his
clothing caught in one of the set screws of a
very large shaft, the revolutions of which
were fully one hundred per minute. He was
drawn around this shaft not less thin one
hundred and fifty or two hundred times, his
legs each time striking the cord of the roof
which supported the shaft, breaking and
lacerating them in a truly shocking manner.
Mr. Loeb is still alive, but little hopes are
entertained of his recovery.
On yesterday morning a lad named Benj.
Young, only 12 or 14 years of age, was ar
raigned before Mayor Potts charged with at
tempted arson. The evidence was pretty
conclusive that he had made several efforts
on Sunday last to set fire to the large build
ing known as the "Church of God." He
has been committed for trial.
I neglected to notice in my last communi
cation that our School Directors have done
a wise thing in the selection of Prof. John
Miller as Superintendent of the public schools
of this city. The Professor is a veteran
teacher, a finished scholar and a perfect gen
tleman. It is to be hoped that he will in
fuse some life and vigor into the schools of
our city, which have been in almost a dor
mant condition for several years past.
Candidates for municipal honors are as
plentiful among us as locusts were in Egypt.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Stevens, of Philadelphia,
did our city the honor of a visit on Monday.
The renomiuation of Peacock Geary has
failed to awaken any enthusiasm among the
truly "loil" hereaway. Neither friend nor
foe are verdant enough to deny that his de
feat is as inevitable as fate. T. I. M.
Going to Grass. Our farmer friends
will ere long "go to grass." sod the result will
be the most abundant yield of hay that has
been harvested on the mountain for many
years. The right thing to "go to grass" with
is one of the celebrated Etna Mowers and
Reapers, for the sale of which Geo. Huntley
is agent in this place. AU other utensils re
qnired by farmers' can be bought from Mr.
Huntley at low prices.

CHOLERA MORBUS READ THIS.
Osborm, Greene Co., O.. May 27, 1869.
Da. S. B. Haituin & Co Gents : One week
a.o to-day I was taken with an attack of chol
era morbus; the vomiting and purging was
most excessive, and accompanied by intolera
ble cramps. My family became alarmed, and
sent for Dr. , but he was not at home,
and the tearest other physician being three
miles oft" it was concluded to procure a bottle
of yeur MISIILER'3 HERB BITTERS.
My wile gave our boy one dollar, and bidding
him 'ruke baste," despatched him to the near
est druggist, Messrs. Kauffman & Bros. He
returned, and according to the directious on
the bottle, 1 took a wiueglassful immediately,
and repeated tlie dose every fifteen minutes lor
three quart-, rs of an hour, and astonishing as
it may seem, it stopped all discharges and
cramps like magic. You cannot believe how
grateful I feel to you tor this potent remedy
One dollar cured me, and I am satisfied that
had the doctor been at home it would have cost
me not less than five dollars.
Yours, respectfully, Frank McLain.
Transformation. The "Transformation
Scene" in "Black Crook," of which we used
to hear so much, must have been a wonder
ful thing, but we doubt if it was anything
more wonderful than some, of the "transfor
mations" made every day at Oak Hall, Phil
adelphia. Many a man goes in there look
ing so rough and threadbare that one would
never suspect the smooth and generous heart
he covers with his "old clothes," and he
comes ont in a few minutes looking so
spruce" aud gentlemanly that, ten to. one,
you would take him for one of the propria
tors. The only part not much "transformed"
is the "pocket," for the man find? in hia new
breeches ''almost as much money" as he
had in the old ones, and counting in the
breeches themselves, by George, he has more
money.
A Model Entkrtaisment. The musi
cal entertainmeut given by Mr. Ed. M. Kerr
and lady, at the Court House in this place,
on Wednesday evening, 23d ult., was well
conducted, well attended and well received.
This was tho fourth time these exquisite vo
calists have appeared before an Ebensburg
audience, and as our people evidently think
there is "luck in odd numbers," they are
already soliciting a repetition of the concert.
Mrs. Kerr possesses one of the sweetest and
best cultivated soprano voices we ever lis
tened to, while Mr. Kerr, as basso and elo
cutionist. fills the bill completely. They
are accomplished singers, and deserve full
houses all the time and everywhere.
Economy If those of our lady friends
who have charge ef a household desire to
practice economy, they should buy all the sugir
they may need for preserving nurnoses without
delay. When the time comes lor putting up
Iruit they will una that suar has advanced
considerably, and hence we advise them to go
at once to the first class grocery of M . L Oat
man and lay in a big supply. Oatman keeps
everything in the grocery line needed in the
house, and deals fairly and squarely with all
hia customers.
Can't Do It. If any of our friends
contemplate going away from home to pur
chase dry goods, dress goods, notio-.is, or cro
ceries of any kind, we advise them to relin
quish the idea, for we are sure that at the pop
ular and low priced store of A. G. Fry, in our
own town, they can do as well, if uot better.
than wi'h dealers in like goods in any ot tho
neighboring towns, ilr. iry lias an ample
stock, a beautiful assortment and a moderate
scale of prices, and no one can offer better in
ducements.
Everybody's glad d'ye know the reason why t
isecause next $unday is the fourth of July.
No, not exactly, but the reasou we will tell.
Because Shoemaker & Co. have everything to
sell
Which everybody needs, and all people can
Buy just as cheap as from any other man.
At their great big store, on famed High street.
Where a stock can be found perfect and replete,
AnJ pleasant smiles your coming will always
greet.
Fourth of July. Everybody will
feel happier and enjoy the coming national an
niversary better by patting themselves inside of
a new dress or new suit of clothes, such as can
be bought remarkably cheap and of desirable
quality at the extensive mercantile emporium
of V. S. Barker, who is offering special bar
gains lor the Fourth of J uly holidays. Try
the experiment.
Resolutions. The following resolu
tions were adopted at a mass meeting in
Johnstown irrespective of party :
Resolved, That Murphy & Co., Houston
House, keep the best dry goods in town.
Resolved, That we will all go to Murphy &
Co. and purchase all the dry goods we need
till alter the next war in over.
M'Maiian has been heard from. He
is in the safe keeping of Lopez. L. Cohen &
Brother, too, have been beard from. They are
located on Main street, Johnstown, and keep
a splendid assortment in the New York Cloth
ing Hall, Opera House, Johnstown. They
have all kinds of summer clothing on hands,
cheap and durable.
Live Oak. Live oak grows in Flori
da and other localities. It is extremely tough
and durable, but not more so than the
live men called Leopold & Brother, at Oak
Hall Clothing Store, Main street, Johnstown,
where choice clothing can be found at all
times. It is a live Oak Hall and live men
keep it.
Tiifre was considerable excitement on
Clinton street Johnstown,, when St. Joseph's
and St. Peter's Societies formed in procession ,
chiefly because it was so near Jas. J. Murphy's
Star () Clothing Store. The members of
tbose associations were astonished to witness
the quantity of clothing sold by Murphy, espe
cially summer clothing, and summer hats.
Rain Bows. Why doesn't the rain
bow appear at night 7 Simply because there is
no room for it, since Leopold Mayer has got
on his new goods at the Opera House. Main
street, Johnstown. But the goods have all
the colors of the rainbow, only the colors are
Jar biihtor. Go to AUyer's Dry G?oda Store !

ably no disease to whieh "human flesh is heir"
that is more distressing in its effects tkan that
of Dyspep.-ia and kindred diseases arising from
disoidersof the Liver and Digestive Organs,

to. It has also received the highest commen
dation from Physicians who hare used it in
their practice, with comple'e success. The

HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
Is a combination of all the ingredients of the
