A serious affray occurred between two
men named John Mouse and George Hall,
in Allegheny township, on Thursday last.
They got into a quarrel at a log rolliDg,
when Hall struck Mouse a very severe blow
on the head with a hand spike, and Mouse re
torted by dealing Hall a glancing blow in
the face with an axe, which inflicted a very
ugly gash, but frrtunately some one stand
ing by caught Mouse's arm in time to pre
vent the full force of tue stroke from falling
with fatal effect. Had it been otherwise we
would doubtless be called upon to record
another homicide. We have not learned
that any arrests were made.
The Great International Hippocomique
and New York Circus exhibited in this place
on Monday, afternoon and night, and their
entire performances gave very general satis
faction. The two clowns were exceedingly
witty and original, the leapers, tumblers and
vaulters were fully equal to any we ever
saw, and the performances of Miss Annie
liobiEson on the slack wire, as well as on
horseback, were certainly very excellent.
The music was also tip-top, and all the oth
er features of the entertainment were, we
thiuk, as good as the best. Some of our ex
changes Jed us to believe that it was a hum
bug, but if it was we confess we failed to see
wherein the humbug consisted.
It has been no uncommon occurrence of
late for our friends, Messrs. Geo. M. Riddle
and W. C. Keller, to pay us a pop visit,
but this week they came flanked by that
big-hearted and whole-souled gentleman,
Ex-Sheriff Bechtel, and we feel that Buch a
trio of clever fellows deserve something more
than silent admiration. They all enjoyed
themselves witnessing tho match game of
base ball, the big show, and other sights
and scenes hereaway on Monday. Mr. Bech
tel, it may not be out of place to say, is a
soliciting salesman for Messrs. Newburger
& Ilachstadter, Wholesale Clothiers, Phila
delphia, and as it is a good firm and repres
ented by a good man, we hope it will secure
a good trade in this "neck of timber." So
mote it be. w-"
Our County Commissioners returned a few
days sinca from a lour of inspection of the
jails of Centre, Butler, and other counties,
which they visited with the view of obtain
ing a model for the new jail about to be
erected in this place. They have determin
ed upon the erection of a building combin
ing the ad vantages of both the Centre and
Butler jails, which they deemed the most
perfect, and an architect is to be employed
without delay to get up the designs and
specifications for that purpose. The sum
of S40. 000 has beeu set apart for the erec
tion of the new jail, and as the present build
ing will serve for the accommodation of the
Sheriff and his family, the amount named
will doubtless put up a commodious and
perfectly secure edifice.
Mountaineer vs. Kickenkpawlinq.
The return match game of base ball between
thee two clubs was played on the grounds
of the former, in this place, ou Monday af
ternoon last, and resulted in the complete dis
comfiture of the latter named club so much
S3 that we fear it will "throw up the sponge"
for all time to come. The score which we
append will show that the contest was
by no means a spirited one, neither club
doin as good playing as we know them to
be capable of. Where the Mountaineers are
to find competitors in the future we know
not, unless they challenge some of the city
clubs.

Ebensbcbg Markets. We this week
give the prices of all the prominent articles
sold at the popular flour and grocery em
porium of Mr. M. L. Oatman, and shall
henceforth make the report of our own and
city market rates a feature of our paper.
The quotations which we publish may be
depended upon as the retail prics of all
leading goods sold by Mr. Oatman. and as he
deals extensively in flour, groceries and pro
visions, his opportunities for baying and
selling at the lowest prices are second to no
dealer in the county. His flour trade is rap
idly assuming gigantic proportions, while his
operations in other articles pertaining to his
business are equally extensive, and be can
now boast of a success which is not only
encouraging but well deserved. He has now
in store a large and ample stock which will
be sold at the moderate prices given in our
market report.
"Good. Better, Best." Messrs. Wan
amaker & Brown early in their busines Ca
reer demonstated the posibility of supplying
the people with good clothing at low pi ices.
And every year they have added to the ex

from the usual charges. This good work
still goes on at Oak Hall, the garments
growing "good, better, best," and the pri
ces low, lower, lowest."

Local Correspondence.
Johnstown, July 27, 1869.
tear fretman The specialities of tbe
past week in our town, vrerejighling andun.
In addition to the qnarrels that we noticed
in our last letter, there were several more
fights after I wrote. The parties were near
ly all fined from $5 to $25, and the borough
realized a considerable amount of money from
the trials of the belligeraots. It is thought
that the origin of these fights can be traced
to the invoicing of a few barrels of uncom
monly meaa whiskey. Whatever the cause
may have been, there was more fighting dur
ing the past week in this borough than there
had been for the six months preced'ng.
The fun or amusement was brought about
by the serio-comic, dramatic, sangerbund,
horse-dancing meoagerie. called the Mace
donian oil company. We suppose 6uch a
combination never traveled before. . We
noticed them briefly last week, stating that
they came here in an elegant car drawn by
four horses. Their ostensible purpose is to
advertise the medicine, but really we think
they are a party of pleasure seekers, and
just sell thd medicine to pay expenses. They
have an organ, a violin and a flute, and they
play exceedingly well. They are also good
singers, and they can speak both German
and English. Every afternoon and evening
of last week they drove their car to the Pub
lic Square, played choice music, sang droll
songs, and extolled their medicine in two or
three languages. They pretended to per
form wonderful cures, and perhaps did help
some people. The folks ware much delight
ed with their music and thousands could be
seen on the Square every evening. The only
objection we had to the proceedings was that
some of the songs were a little rough, and
did not seem to accord very well with their
otherwise gentlemanly deportment, choice
music and excellent speeches.
While this was going on other parties
sought other sources of pleasure. On Thurs
day night a party of very respectable young
people held a moonlight pic-nic at Yon Leu
uen's grove, spending the greater portion of
the night in innocent amusements, and
returning in the morning with the convic
tion that sleep is essential to health and
comfort.
We noticed last week that the tower of
the new German Luthern church was being
torn down. We were not then aware of the
reasons for so doing. It appears that the
foundation gave way, causing the tower to
lean over towards the inside of the church
about a foot at the height of sixty feet. The
tower was completed on Thursday week, and
workmen commenced tearing it down on
Saturday week. A new foundation will be
pat in and then tho tower will be rebuilt.
Had it not been for this accident the church
would now be finished outside.
The water company of this place have put
in thirty-three fire plugs at the to ners of the
streets, and they cow ask the borough coun
cil the sum of fifty dollars for the use of each
plug annually, amounting to sixteen hun
dred and fifty dollars a year. To this pro
position a portion of the council object, al
leging that the price Is too high. Besides,
some citizens would get all the benefit, while
others in the suburbs of the city would get
none. We would suggest this compromise:
Let the water used from the plugs be meas
ured, which can be dons approximately,
and let the council pay a fair price for the
quantity of water actually used. There
might not be a fire here for a year, and six
teen huudred dollars is too much money to
throw away for nothing. But there might
be a fire that would require a thousand bar
rels of water to quench; if so let it be paid
for at a fair pi ice.
The last few days of good weather have
been worth millions of dollars to the farming
community, and while we rejoice that they
have good dry weather, we regret that they
have not more help during the throng.
Harvest is a hard time on the farmers. They
have no time to rest, but are hurried from
one post to another till they become done
out. There were but few of them in town
on Saturday, and consequently the market
was limited, especially in the matter of but
ter. A stream of electricity struck the dwell
ing house of Evan Roberts, of this place, a
few days ago, without damage to the in
mates. The theory that lightning only
strikes high objects is not correct, and we
doubt whether lightning rods will attract the
fluid more than a few feet at farthest. If
some Yankee would invent a plan of run
ning the rods up to where tho lightning
begins, there would be a fortune in the in
vention. At present lightning strikes just
where it pleases.
One of our enterprielng citizens has pur
chased Mr. Shaffer's store, at East Cone
maugh, and intends running it strong.
The Ashtola Mills are located in Somerset
county, only twelve miles from Johnstown.
The proprietors own six thousand acres of
forest laud, containing choice timber.
A bridge of trestle work two hundred feet
long, belonging to the Cambria Iron Com
pany and extending across Kingston's Run,
was blown down about a week ago.
Episcopal services were held in Union
Hall on last Sunday, in the forenoon and
afternoon. A large number of people at
tended, attracted thither by curiosity.
The passenger car recently brought here
runs regularly, drawn by four horses, and is
crowded with passengers almost every trip.
We have no doubt that it will become a
paying institution. It is a very useful one
at any rate. .
The people here are well pleased with the
position taken by Hon. C. L. Pershing in bis
Philadelphia speech, to wit: that there
should be no politics in the judiciary.
The town council have not only ordered
the numbering of the houses, but also the
indexing of the streets. The names of the
streets are to be marked at every crossing.
Over two hundred index boards are being
painted and lettered for that purpose, aad
will be put up immediately.
There are several cases of scarlet fever in
this place, proving fatal in a few instances.
The health of the community, however, is in
other respects good.
Mr. Phillips just finished the paving of
Main street on Monday evening, and as it
rained hard on that night, the good people of
Johnstown woke up on Tuesday morning to
behold a small lake just in the center of
town. Everybody blames the engineer for
the mistake. The intention was that the
water should run away, but instead, it runs
from the four quarters of the compass to the
center of town, and their stops stone still.
Main street at the mouth of Bedford and
Clinton streets will need to be raised eigh
teen inches to run the water away and drain
the alleys. This will cost a nice sum of
money. There is great excitement here on
the subject. BB B7-
Cabbolltown, July 26, 1869.
Dear Freeman The particulars of the
terribie tragedy enacted at Frys saw mill,
eight miles distant from this place, on
Wednesday morning last are briefly as fol
lows : A number of employes of the mill
were engaged in burning away a large pile
of edging, or the refuse of tbe mill, and as
it was necessary to remain during tbe night
to watch it, a gallon of whiskey was procur
ed, and the party, consisting of about a dox
ea'men, proceeded to amuse themselves by
playing cards, etc. During the night sev
eral fights were Imminent, but I believe no
blows were struck until about three o'clock
in the morning, when Lewis Holtzner and
Philip Phalon became engaged in a quarrel
which resulted in the death of the latter at
the hands of the former. The fire had by
this time almost burned away, and it was
not known to any one present that Holtzner
had stabbed Phalon until the brother of the
man who had inflicted the wounds hurried
him off. It was then discovered that Pha
lon was dead, and as soon as possible Dr.
Braltier was summoned from the Cherry
Tree, a jury empannelled, and an inquest
held upon bis body. In the meantime Lewis
and Benjamin Holtzner were arrested and a
guard placed over them. After the exami
nation they were taken in charge by Messrs.
Lloyd, Johnson and Westover and conveyed
to the county jail. On Wednesday evening
Dist. Att'y Tierney, accompanied by Drs.
Oatman and Maucher of this place, proceed
ed to the scene of the sad occurence, and
Dr. Brallier having been sent for. another
examination of the body was made. Your
correspondent was present on this occasion
and observed the following wounds : three
in the breast, one of which penetrated the
heart, passing almost through it. The oth
er two were stopped by the third and fourth
ribs. On the left hip a terrible gash was
made, but the progress of the knife was
here prevented from entering very deep by
striking on the hip bone. On the top of
the head was found au ugly cut, but it did
not enter over half an inch. Above the el
bow was a very severe stab severing leaders
and arteries, aud another on the wrist.
There are so mauy stories afloat in regard to
the commencement of tbe difficulty between
these parties that I do not feel justified in
making any comments. Phalon's remains
were interred in the Glosser graveyard on
Friday last. The knife with which tbe
fatal deed was accomplished cannot be found,
and it is presumed that Holtzner cast it into
the mill dam. The appearance of the cuts
would seem to indicate that it was a two
edged knife or dagger.
The finest field of wheat ever harvested
in this county was cut on the farm of the
Bt-ndictine Brothers, this place, last week.
This wheat was put in with a grain drill
and cut with a reaper, and, as showing
what an advantage farmers possess by culti
vating with machinery, I may state that the
wheat was uniform throughout the field, and
almort a9 level at the beads as a floor, and
it required eight men to bind it following
the reaper.
The weather has been very nn favorable
for our farmers, but at present writing the
indications are that they will be able to se
cure the rest of their crops. Buz Fuz.
St. AuGUSTniB. July 23, 1869.
Dear Freeman We have been enjoying
a few days of fine harvest weather of late,
and the farmers are making all the possible
use of it. Harvest hands are in great de
mand, and no person need complain that he
can't get work now, mt even the subscriber,
lazy as he is. Crops are remarkakly good
this harvest better than they have been
for several years.
The American Hotel in this village is be
ing newly painted and refitted, which will
add greatly to the appearance of our town .
Travelers stopping there will find it a first
class hotel. Mr. John C. M'Entyre, of this
place, did the painting. He is master of
of his trade, and persons having painting
to do will subserve their interests by em
ploying him.
The old church edifice is being raised to
correspond with the new addition. When
that is done St. Augustine can boast 9 one
of the finest churches in the State outside
of the large cities.
Mr. Philip Cooper had a field of corn con
siderably damaged by a number of horses,
which broke into it one morning this week.
They were fortunately discovered by a
young man in tho neighborhood who was
returning home from a courtiDg expedition
in the "we sma hours ayant the twal,"
and he turned them out before they had done
as much damage as would otherwise have
resulted.
The democrats hereabouts are much elated
over the nominations made by the State
convention, and feel confident that with
such men as Packer and Pershing the victo
ry will be won and radical misrule in Penn
sylvania forever ended. So mote it be say
we all. Yours, &c. Vixo C. Pedsi
Mb. Keknkdt's Letter. The following
is the full text of the letter of John H.Ken

nation for County Auditor. The absence
from home of Mr. Shoemaker prevented its
earlier publication :

Co. Com. Dear Sir : Owing to business en
gagements I verv respectfully decline the nomi
nation for the office of Auditor tendered me by

With many thanks to my fellow democrats for
their kindness, and my best wishes for the
success of the whole ticket, I am, very respect

Wouldn't Sror.--The enterprising ven
ders of the Macedonian oil, who are perambu
lating the country with "coach and tour" and
entertaining the people with choice music and
learned disquisitions ou the merits of their oil,
from some cause failed to hold forth here.
Had they done so they would doubtless have
picked up considerable money which could be
invested to much better advantage at the en
larged and well stocked store of H. A. Shoe
maker & Co.. who are well known as the moet
extensive and most liberal dealers in dry goods,
groceries, flour, furniture, etc., in Northern
Cambria. The best of bargains in everything.
Tinware and Spouting. Mr. George
Huntley, the enterprising hardware merchant
and tinware manufacturer and dealer, has in
troduced new machicery and employed addi
tional workmen in his manufacturing depart
ment, and is now better prepared than ever to
fill orders for either tinware or spouting, no
matter how large tbey may be. Tbe heaviest
tin and the best skill is employed in turning
out work at Mr. Huntley's extensive establish
ment, and his prices are always as cheap as the
cheapest in his branch of industry.
Tea and Coffee. The quality of the
goods kept by V. S. Barker, as well in the way
of dry goods as groceries and other commodi
ties, is fully up to the highest standard, but
