By reference to advertisement elsewhere
it will be seen Mount Gallitzin Seminary,
for tbe education of small boys, will be
opened in this place oc the second Monday
of next month. It is to be under the care
of the Sisters of St. Joseph, and tbe peculiar
ability of those devoted and holy women to
impart knowledge to pupils is ?o well known,
that we feel sure the school shortly to be
opened here will meet with a liberal and
well merited patronage. To Father Christy
is due the highest praise for bringing about
the establishment of so desirable a school in
our midst.
A shook shop belonging to Hon. A. A.
Barker of this place, and situated near
Plattsville, Susquehanna township, was
burned on Friday night last, together with
about one hundred shook and about one
thousand staves, involving a loss of between
$500 and $600. As there had been no fire
in the building after dinner time on Wednes
day, and as a watch and silver pencil sup
posed to belong to one of a party who were
noticed about the premises in an intoxicated
condition during the day, were found in the
ruins on Saturday, the presumption is that
it was set on fire.either maliciously or care
lessly by the parties referred to, some time
during the night.
The clothing which we noticed last weak
as having been stolen from the office of JoLn
S. Rhey, Esq., was recovered by that gentle
man iu Hollidaysbnrg on Wednesday morn
ing. He found the missing articles in the pos
session of Scott Monroe, a colored individual
who was sent to the penitentiary from
this place for a like offense more than a year
ago, but was nfterwards pardoned. Believ
ing the thief to be a victim of kleptomania,
which means a natural and uncontrollable
desire to steal, Mr. Rhey very humanely
permitted Scott to go "scott free," which
was good for the darkey but may be bad for
somebody else. The thief will doubtless
"bring up" in tbe penitentiary once more
at least before he is finally cured of bis dis
honest proclivities. VT
A very distressing accident occurred in
Cambria township, about four miles from this
place, on Friday last. A little daughter of
Davy Powell, aged only about three and a
half years, had one of her legs taken off im
mediately above the ankle by a mowing ma
chine with which her father was employed
cutting grass. Drs. Lsmmon and Kvana
were summoned and rendered medical aid,
and the little sufferer is said to be as com
fortable as could be expected. The leg was
taken off as perfectly as if it had been am
putated. The attention of the father was
diverted in another direction at the time of
tho accident, yet the exposure of such a child
to such a danger indicated a want of watch
fulness on tbe part of the parents.
Some six or eight 3'ears ago a man named
Andrew Shaffer, residing in Jackson town
ship, this county, partially mutilated bis per
son in a way not necessary to describe, and
one day last week attempted to finish the job
and came very near finishing himself. Shaf
fer had been on a spree and was absent from
home for several days, but on Wednesday
of last week, we think, he was found by a
member of his family in a meadow near the
house, his outcries having attracted attention
to him, and his injuries were then supposed
to be of a fatal character, but we since learn
that he is in a fair way of recovering Mr.
S. is the father of a grown up and highly es
teemed family, and is a man well advanced
in years. His shocking mutilation of his
person was probably the result of a species
of insanity superinduced in both instances
by an iutemperate use of spirituous liquors.
Thomas A. Beales and Thomas A. Duke,
two of the Altoona incendiaries, were con
victed in Hollidaysburg la-it week on two of
the indictments against them one for set
ting fire to the board yard of D. & C. Moore
and the other for firing the stable of James
Lowther. Ksq., about a year previous. John
B. Campbell and James M'Connsll were dis
charged on a iviile. prosequi, their testimony
being considered necessary to further the
ends of justice. The ther parties arrested
were liberated for w ant of sufficient evidence
to convict.- A motion for new trials was
made on behalf of Beals and Duke, and it
was to have been argued on Monday, but
we nul not near tne result, it not granted,
they have probably ere this been sentenced.
Duke was also convicted 00 a charge of lar
ceny. Considerable sympathy exiets for the
prisoners inasmuch as public opinion does
not attribute to tlim the deepest guilt in
the crimes tor which they have been Con
victed. A Mystkrt. I that rustic path was
treading when the sun his rays wore shedJIng
beaming, fairly streaming through the trees;
and I watched ttie streamlet gligtening, a en
tranced I there ws listening to the melting,
merry music ou the breene, when beneath the
tree reclining, where no ray of sun was shining,
loi I saw a fellow being on the ground! Tho
no otlier feature shifted, quickly soon his eyes
uplifted upwards lifted us he wildly looked
aroand. "Good friend,'' etiid I, approaching,
"do not charge me with encroaching are you
waiting for some messenger of newsi"' But no
ether word be uttered, and no other sentence
muttered, save "You'll find Oatman's family
flour the very beit to use!'' "That's a strange
expression surely," said I, looking down de
murely, "and very much surprises me indeed."
But be only looked the prouder as these worda
he spoke the louder, '-Be sure to buy from Oat
man all the groceiies you need!" "Why, bless
me, man!" 1 shouted, as his sanity I doubted,
"you excite my wonder more and more." But
he only yelled the higher, with enthusiastic
fire, You'll save much by buying at Oatman's
cheap cash store !" So I left him there recli
ning, where no ray of sun was shining, and his
words I since have pondered o'er and o'er ;
thinking 'twas a mystery, and that some hidden
history was weaving round myself and Oat
man's cheap cash store. So I resolved at once
to buy there; nay, I felt compelled to try there.
And behold ! I've cause for gladness that the
words I deemed were madness induced me thus
to purchase all my flour and provisions (one oT
the wisest of wise deciions at M . L . O atuian'a

Dear Freeman A Bank mania has bro
ken out in our quiet city which seems to
baffle tho skill 01 the best financial phy
sicians. John Dibert & Co. will open a
bank this week on Main street. Messrs.
Lloyd & Huff, of Blair county, were here
looking up a location for a bank. A Com
pany's Saving Bank has reached a subscrip
tion of seventy-five thousand dollars. D.
Dibert proposes to establish a bank of dis
count soon. So you see the people are going
as wild on banks as on wild-cat water.
We l ave been informed by a number of
young folks that a party who purchased a
lot some time ago in Sandy Cemetery has
the same planted in peas and potatoes. If
this is true It is economy with a vengeance.
Sewing Machines seem to be the rage just
now. For the last six months no less than
one hundred of these machines have been
sold here some ef Wheeler & Wilson, some
of Grover & Baker, and so forth.
John Parke, Esq., proprietor of the Opera
House, has leased the same for one year to a
Pittsburgh Company for fifteen hundred dol
lars the lease to take effect immediately.
Tannehill and Company have the use of the
Opera House the 30th and 31st.
A strong and beautiful fence has just been
placed in front of the Piesbyterian churcla.
A part of the fence is iron and the balance
wood painted to imitate iron.
Those who want to be convinced that pros
perity will follow industry had better take a
look into Messrs. Jacob Fronheiser's and
John Geis's gardens, where they will find
the best evidences of care and industry.
The bridge over Stony Creek, which is an
iron structure, is about receiving a nice coat
of drab paint, which will add much to its
appearance and durability. It should have
been painted when put up, as the great
amount of wet weather this summer has
rusted Jthe iron considerably.
Some painter is advertising bis business

There ia a new foundry in blast on Rail

A man named Anthony O'Donnell, a
member of St. John's Benevolent Society,
was so badly injured in the Cambria Iron
Ca.'s mines, on Wednesday evening last, that
he died on the following morning. He was
carr ing a couple of picks in Perry's "drift"
when the mules ran over him, followed by
the car. causing one of the picks to penetrate
his back and otherwise injuring him. His
funeral was attended on Friday by one hun
dred and twenty members of the order and
many other persous. Peace to his remains.
Some person is building a new fence round
the school house lot in the Third Ward a
much needed improvement. The posts are
already set and the boards hauled to the
place. The fence will be quite high ami
blind, or close, and will effectually prevent
egress into the lot.
The little spaniels hereabouts bare begun
to yelp too soon at Mr. Pershing's nomina
tion. Good manners should have constrain
ed them to stand back tilt some of the older
and larger pups had 'their bark. Scull, of
the Somerset Whig and Herald, and the
Tribulation man of our town, began to

more than recorded his nomination. For

The contents of your little pop guns will all

Our citizens were treated last week to the
benefits of a shocking machine, which was
manipulated on the Public Square by the
proprietor at five ceuts a corner. Some
lolks were great!y shocked at the power of
the galvanic battery and declared they
cculdu't see how the thing was done.
Ceo. Fritz, Esq., the manager of the Cam

dwelling house put up ou a corner of what
was lately the Nicholson property, on Main

well arranged.
Don't forget to look out for the eclipse of
thu sun on Saturday afternoon about five
o'clock. The moon's shadow will strike the
arth first iu Alaska, then travel down
through Dakota, Iowa, Kentucky, North
and South Carolina, and drop iato the At
lantic Ocean about sunset. It will not be
quite total here, unless it is very cloudy.
There will be a push made this Biirumer
to have the Public Square ornamented.
The Council no doubt think that Asa Pack
er will give a liberal donation to the enter
prise. Hence the agitation just now.
T. G. Swanfc is getting oui a large dusi
nses directory for Johnstown borough and
suburbs. It will be a very useful booK.
The State Teachers' Association meets at
Greeusburg, Westmoreland county, on the
10th day of August, just three days after
the great eclipse. They will no doubt make
that darker which was dark enough before,
and even eclipse the eclipse. We have at
tended several of these meetings, but could
never see any good they did. They will
discuss "What's what, and how to do it,"
and thea adjourn.
The pic-nic of tbe St. John's Catholic
church was a grand success, and the expec
tations of those most deeply interested were
more than realized. The day was splendid
and the atmosphere at a moderate tempera
ture. The amusements were rare and rich
in variety and satisfactory in duration.
The St. Joseph's and St. Peter's Societies
were out in full force. Dancing was in
dulged in by the young folks, and all went
"merry as a marriage bell."
A poor one-armed soldier was grinding
an organ through the streets here on Satur
day last. His fellow soldiers manifested a
warm sympathy for him, but other people
didn't seem to care much.
R. Nelse Taylor has recently exposed two
characters before his shop one a picture of
business dull and the other a picture 01 bus
iness brisk which have attracted a great
deal of attention and shows that Nelse is
not only a good but a cute painter.
The big timbers are going np rapidly in
the German Catholic church, and the foun
dation of tbe German Lutheran church, that
is of the tower, is now relaid.
The parsonage of the St. John's Catholic
church is now finished. The painting, done
by R. N. Taylor, is superb, and gave great
s&tirifaction to the building committee. The
parsonage will soon be occupied.

Carbolltown, August 3, 1869.
Dear Freeman Quite a severe storm pre
vailed here on Wednesday of last weet, but
fortunately it was of very brief duration.
Tbe principal damage resulting irom it may
be summed up as follows : The large new
framfi buildine of Mr. Fred. Snyder, now
approaching completion, was racked forward
at the top about eighteen inches; a very
commodious picture gallery, erected by a
photograph firm from Altoona was blown
down and a portion of the lumber of the
eamA was carried at least two hundred
yards; thirteen fine apple trees in the Broth
r nrr.hard were uprooted, as also a num
bsr of fine shade trees along the course of
I the fctorm. The wind passed m a north-east
I direction and was confined to a track not
! more than ne hundred yards wide,
j The steam saw mill of Mr. Joseph Behe,
erected at the lower end of town, is now in
operation, and as the timber tract adjoining
it is one of the finest in the country we have
no doubt but that the enterprise of Mr. B.
will prove successful.
The crops secured by our farmers in this
vicinity are the best that'have been harvest
ed for several jears.
In the absence of interesting local news,
perhaps it would not be amiss for your cor
respondent to sketch a brief outline of famil
iar chaiacters which can be found alike in
the crowded city or the secluded hamlet.
The first which demands attention is
TI1K LADT KILLER.
I do not mean a sanguinary individual who
indulges a vicious propensity for the immor
tal translation of those very necessary ad
juncts to human society, young ladies ; but,
on tbe contrary, I desire to give an accurate
description of a certain class of exquisites
who are victims of a pleasant hallucination
in imagining that every lady upon whom
they exercise their address will at once un
conditionally surrender. A man of ordinary
discernment will have no difficulty in select
ing him, even from a numerous crowd, for
be effects the "latest style," and his general
appearance will at once indicate his charac
ter. Every community possesses one or
more specimens of the genua "lady killer,"
and at all times and under all circumstan
ces they can boast of their many conquests,
or if necessary, enumerate them. They are
always prepared to furnish you with an ac
curate description of the habits, likes and
dislikes of all the eligible young ladies in
3'our neighborhood. You remark that Miss
So and so appears to be a very amiable
young person, and straigthway you are in
formed that her amiability is merely a mask
which can be assumed or removed with the
same facility as the pious Sunday appear
ance of the Mammon worshipper who serves
Gtd on the lord's day and apologises to the
devil therefor during the balance of the
week. The "lady killer" will tell 3'ou con
fidentially, that he cultivated her acquaint
ance for a time, but she wasn't his style,
and he dropped her. Our hero is polite.
He will gracefully tip his hat to a well
dressed lady whom he passes on the street,
and proceeding home, will rail on his moth
er or use ugly expressions towards his sister
for not taking'a wrinkle out of his immacu
late shirt front, or for neglecting to proper
ly iron bis cambric handkerchief. Most
young ladies understand the nature of this
invulnerable popiujay, and his services are
only called in requisition for the purpose of
passing amusement at the immense and pon
derous fashionable agony he can iisplay on
6hort notice. If he ever marries it is with
seme thoughtless female who understands
all the modern appliances which are brought
to bear by our latter day modistes in per
fecting "the iast best gift to man," and the
sensible verdict is that they are well mated.
Th3 next subject I design noticing is
THE SCANDAL HOSGKR.
This is another peculiar institution which
flourishes, in a remarkable degree, in coun
try villages. Our feminine friends have
long ago secured a monopoly in thscandal
mongiag or common gossiping business, and
that town or village not possessing at least
half a dozen specimens of this d iss is indeed
sadly behind the age. She is a high-toned,
moral individual. Her very appearance in
dicates this, and even her nasal organ is
prepared, at a moment's notice, to turn np
expressively at the follies and indiscretions
of the poor unfortunates whose character lor
the time being are undergoing the inquisito
rial examination necessary for a through dis-
ection, and to display the dark shades in
the worst ptissible light. She always exag
gerates the faults and ablesof her neighbors.
She confidentially commui i-ates to Mrs. A.
that Mrs. B. is a horrible housewife, and
eternally quarrelling with her too patient
husband. An hour afterwards Mrs. B.
will be reealed with a story Impeaching the
good name and domestic arrangements of
Mrs. A. And thus it goes. As soon as
Madame Gossip has a moment of 6pare time
-and it appears as if she is very rarely em-
p'oyed in household duties the devil will
prompt her id'e tongue to some mischitf.
and in scandalizing or vilifying her neigh
bors he appears to derive as much pleasure
a would a gourmand from a rare dish suited
to bis palate. The assassin who waylays
his victim is not a more despicable character
than is the scandal-monger, and until the
tone of public sentiment is changed, or be
comes healthy enough to enable our lady
friends to order out the voluble tale-bearer
who may pester them with their poisonous
stories, we must make up our minds to bear
them as a necessary evil. In writing this.
Mr. Freeman, I have a character in my
mind's eve to whom I can adopt all I have
said, and I have only painted her as others
see her. L"z Fez.
Altoona Citt. Aug. 3, lSli!).
Dear Freeman One of the saddest cases
of mental aberration it has ever been my for
tune or misfortune to witness, came under my
observation a few days since, and I pray that
I may never be called to look upon the like
again. A young, beautiful and accomplished
lady, who scarcely five months ago waa led a
hopeful bride from the matrimonial altar, was
less than a week since bunicdly taken away to
an insane asylum. From a friend I have brief
ly learned the sad history of this unfortunate
young wife, which may not be uninteresting to
your readers. She was born in Indiana county
in the year 146. Her parents were ia com
fortable circumstances, and their daughter,
being rather delicate in constitution, was the
object of their most tender solicitude. When
quite young she was sent to an Academy under
the control of those ministering angels, the
Sisters of Mercy, and under their tuition soon
acquired those graces of mind and heart which
adorn and dignifies human nature. After re
ceiving a thorough education she returned to
the parental roof, and being accomplished iu
mind, faultless in form and dignified in man
ner, she soon became, unconsciously to herself,
the pride of the town in which she resided. In
order to make some return lor the money which
had been expended in educating her, she took
charge of a school, and while so employed,
being unconscious of the deceptions and in
trigues of the world, she was induced to be
come the wife of a young man who was in no
wise her equal either in education, principle or
virtue a man who bore the semblance but
lacked those qualities of mind and heart so es
sential to the gentleman. She was refined and
modest, he course and forward. She was ed
ucated and intelligent, he illiterate and ignor
ant. She was pure and innocent, he contami
nated by the world's vices. She was exempla
rv and nious. he laid claim to no such virtue i.
If they did not live as agreeably together at
they should nave done the cause can De ream 17
conjectured. After a lew months of wedded
life had passed away the young wife began to
manifest the most iearful symptoms or lnsan
itv. the alleged reason for which it ia not now
my purpose to dwell upon. Suffice it to say,
that for more than a week she was the object
of the tender care and feeling solicitude of sym
pathising neighbors and friends, if not of those
who should oe nearer ana aearer w uw.
ahull never foreret the evening I, in company
with a lriend, visited the afflicted lady. We
fonnd her reclining upon a bed, with her lower
limbs manacled and her wrists clutched in the
vise-like craso of her husband, while she was
uttering imprecations loud and deep against
the man whom she had vowed to leve and hon
or. When we entered her husband retired from
the room, and she extended Ler soft, delicate
hand as a token of welcome, and then bade us
be eealed. After talking kindly to bcr for a
j few moments she became perfectly calm, and
I conversed quite rationallv and her bearing
throughout convinced me that if sdie had been
kepi in a recluded apartment, where every
passer-by would not be afforded the opportuni
ty to look in upon her, and had she received
kind nursing and the tender treatment iter con
dition demanded, reason would once more have
resumed its sway. That not having been done
the disposition made of her may have been
all that could have expected under the circum
stances, but I cannot refrain from protesting
against the indecent haste with which she was
hurried off to the. iusane asylum as well as the
capacity in which ahe was sent. Her earnest
and piteous appeals for help 011 the morning
she waa sent away were heartrending in the ex
treme, and awakened the deepest sympathy
for one so young and gified and yet so unior
tunate Wid helpless.
1 may take occasion to refer to this matter
again if future events call for it, and I shall
then endeavor to preseut facts incontrovertible
bearing upon the causes which led to this sad
and lamentable case of mental aberration . In
the meantime I hope that a kiud Providence
will recall to tbe enjoyment of reasou and all
her faculties one upon whom the hand of afflic
tion has been laid so heavily and with such la
mentable results.
Velocipedes, in the opinion of our city d ids,
have become an intolerable nuisance, and the
vigilant and untiring member from the Third
Ward has proposed an ordinance prohibiting
the running of bycicles on the sidewalks. Oar
city has some 12,t OJ or 15,000 inhabitants and
and two velocipedes, if my information is
correct. Hence you see the great necessity
of an ordinance such as the oue referred to.
The pic nic of our Catholic friends, already
referred to, I am pleased to say will positively
be held at City Park on the loth and 17th of
the present month. It bid fair to excel all
other enterprise of the kind, as it is in the
hands of ladies who know no such word aa fail.
It will be the last chance this year for outdoor
amusemeat and innocent recreation t this
character aud should be well patronized for the
sake of the cause and the pleasure.

kaow that any of it has yet made its appear
ance in this locality. As soon as it comes Fry
will be ready to furnish goods iu exchange for
any amount of it at the lowest cash prices. In
the meantime, or any other time, greenbacks
or fractional currency will be taken with equal
facility at Fry's cheapest of all cheap dry
goods and grocery stores, and as much given
for it as any merchant can afford to furnish.
Counterfeits Counterfeit ten dollar
greenbacks are said to be in circulation. If
any of our readers wih to know whether any
of their X.'s are of this stamp they should take
them to the popular cheap cash store of V. S.
Barker, and if genuine he will fnrnish them
with more goods for their mouey than has been
given for a like amount at any time during the
present summer. Seasonable goods very cheap
and very pretty.

man, upright and fair in all his dealings, and
has been carried to his untimely grave res

the community. This is his best epitaph.
Four young gentlemen of this county read
medicine in the office of Dr. Bunn, two of
