Local Correspondeuce. Johnstown, Aug. 9, 1869. Dear Frteuian The eclipse has come and gone, leaving but little impression upon the mass of mankind, but great joy to the hearts who have for months pondered over a laby rinth .f symbolic cumulations in regard to it. We heard one little girl asking another if salvation day had come, meaning judg ment day, of course. A boy wondered how the moon could push through the snn with out throwing it down. Others talked of a hail storm that was predicted. The eclipse conld be seen here, but there were too many passing clouds for close astronomical obser vation. There is another eclipse here which seems to absorb the attention of a good many peo ple. It is called a monetary eclipse. Some how the last pay day did not make money bo plentiful as usual here. The reasons are obvious. Two theatres have been run ning all Spring ; there were two circuses here ; Anderson's gift enterprise was here ; five pic-nics came off in the vicinity; there were four concerts and a strawberry festival ; it is the seasorAo buy np fruit and pay tax es ; so you see the people are in debt and cannot draw as much spending money as usual. Then the place is too tmall to supr port theatres, etc On Thursday last, a man who worked at F. W. Hay's tinware establishment appro priated a carpetbag full of clothes and secret ed it in a hay loft. It was found, whereup on he went to his boarding house, packed up his clothes, stole a watch, and started for sundown. He was pursued, threw his clothes away, hung the watch up on a bush and made good his escape. lie had tetter worked for clothes and let the time regulate itself. A band of gypsies encamped for a few days at Whisky Springs, about a mile out of town, on the Somerset road, told fortunes, made and sold some baskets and lace, but finding business dull, they left for paits un known. From a late review of taxables :n the bor oughs of East Conemaugh, Franklin and Prospect, we find they have eighty five, ninety-five and one hundred and forty-two taxable inhabitants respectively. The friends of the turf had a set-to on last Saturday in the shape of a race, between the ''Mountain Queen," owned by Dr. Em erson, and "Sleepy John," owned by Henry Gore. There were about two or three hun dred ppectators at tbe race grounds near Conemaugh station. "John" was too sleepy on this occasion, as the "Queen" of the mountain came out the winner by a good long distance. Of course the doctor went home feeling good. Millville borough school directors had an examination of teachers on Tuesday last for their schools, which are to open about the 1st of September. There are eight teachers wanted, but we did not hear up to Tuesday night upon whom success smiled. The .Johnstown schools, which have been closed for a month, en account of tcarm weather, will open again on next Monday. The children will have been relieved from the over jlovc of sperpiration by that time. The teachers, this week, are at Greensburg, attending the meeting of the State Teachers' Association. The old canal basin, that used to be a place of rendezvous for hundreds of boat men, has dried out. A street is laid out aiong its entire length, and lots areservcyed on each side. Now is a good chance to buy lots, eit!er here or in East Conemaugh, where a new town has been laid out ou the old orchard farm. The rssult of the election in Tennes-ee didn't effect the people here much, r.s II. Greely had posted tiiem on the matter be fore hand. Ternesbcu has impeached tbe impcachers, and Andy John sou. the old pet of the Kepublican paity, will be returned a Senator for six years. He will outlive Grant yet at Washington. Peaches by the box are coming here in great quantities and of good quality. The peach crop in Maryland and Delaware is laiger than it has been for many years, if the frosts and cold weather will only let them ripen. The Baptists (Disciples) have taken off the old roof, which leaked, and pnt a c!oe joint shingle roof on their church, situated ou Main street. This improvement shows that, while they are in favor of water bap tin, they do not want it in the shape of sprinkling or pouring. The new hall above D. Diberts store. ( corner of Main aud Franklin streets, is now j finished. It will accommodate a hundred persons cleverly, and will make a cood hall for a secret society such as the Ku KIux. St Joseph's church has all the large tool timber placed safely on the brick work, and the German Lutheran church is progressing rapidly with the tower which was torn down. It is up again to the roof. Mr. Philips is pushing forward the pav ing of Morris street, sixth ward, with con siderable rapidity, though the weather has been greatly against success in that busi ness. The workmen engaged at the M. E. church are now painting the pews, and from ap pearances the house will ere long be ready for use. The Uuion Hall is now completed for a court room and will be filled with in terested spectators again the October term. Parke's Hall was leased to a New York man, instead of a Pittsburgh firm, as stated lat week. Butter is scarce and bad, blackberries plentiful and good, money middling plenty and tolerably bad. My respects to Bus Fuz, Velo. C. Pede and T. I. M., who write very interesting let ter from their respective localities. Rob Rot. Cabrolltowh, Angnst 8, 1869. Dear Freeman Our town has been de cidedly dull for several days past, chiefly for the reason that neighboring farmers have been busily engaged securing their crops, and a great many of our residents have been assisting them. A young German stone mason bearing the Milesian surname of Barney and the un mistakably Teutonic Christian appellation of Fogle, performed a somnambulistic gymnas tic feat, one night last week, which deserves to be recorded. The young man in ques tion is a sojourner at the Mansion House, and whether hia digestive apparatus was in bad order, on the night ic question, I am not prepared to say, but certain it is that he arose in his sleep and climbed out of a sec ond story window of the sleeping apartment adjoining his own. When suspended, like Mahomet's coffin, 'twixt heaven and earth, he awoke, and his grasp on the window sill not being tenacious enough to hold him np until help arrived, he was compelled to drop. From the window to terra jirma is a distance of about twelve feet, but beyond a few severo bruises he fortunately escaped 'ATittle girl named Hitch, about ten years of ae, met with quite a severe accident, in this" place, on Sunday evening last. She had followed her grandmother to the stable, and when returning, accidentally fell over a stone, fracturing one of her legs at the thigh. Drs. Oatman and Maucher were immediate ly summoned, and the broken limb properly adjusted. The little sufferer is doing as well a could be expected. An Infan't daughter of Mr. Julias Stich fell from the high porch, in front of his resi dence, on Sunday evening last, and met with injuries of a painful and serious charac ter. A traveler, who6 name I failed to learn, while on his way through this place one evening last week, took a severe fit in front of the residence of Sheriff Buck. That gen tleman had the stranger conveyed to his dwelling and kindly cared for until the next day, when he appeared fully recovered. He stated that he was subject to spells of thi3 kind and generally had no premonition of their proximity. On Thursday and Friday mornings of last week early risers had an opportunity of wit nessing tbe indications of a veritable frost. This, in the advent of the "dog days," is dogged singular. Another pic-nic is on the tapis, to come off during this month. . If the weather should prove favorable it will be a grand affair. The eclipse was visible in this neighbor hood. Smoked glass and lager beer were in demand. Several individals I wot of were enabled to observe a greater number of eclipses than the bills called for. They could see double. To continue my pen pictures, I will this week confine myself to a prominent one that can be recognized by the majority of your readers. It is THE VILLAGE SPOUT ER. In the bar room, or a Btore box at the street corner, or in any locality where he can secure one or more listeners, he is to be found. He does not at any time appear to be particularly busy with his own affairs, but his "best hold" is a thorough acqaint ance with that pertaining to his neighbors, lie is throughly posted upon every subject ; can describe the process of incubation of a turkey buzzard retail the latest and most authentic news of the rebellion in Cuba, or inform you whether Smith'a financial af fairs are on a firm basis. He is a knowing cuss in his own estimation. In mechanics, medicine, or law, he is au fait, and men who have made these various prefessions their respective study can always hear some thing from the "spouter" that was un dreamed or nn thought of by them. In the bar-room, with one patient listener, he will talk to his unfortunate auditor, but at all who may be present. We heard him on the eclipse. He confidently informed us that the sun was just a little larger thau the moon, otherwise the brighter luminary would have been totally obscured' by the queen of night. He said that partial eclipses fre quently occur, but they are not visible for the reason that the moon generally crossed the sun when the former was in its first or last quarter, and the obscuration was not no ticed. Then we were in for some valuable lessons in astronomy. Constellations, planets, fixed and moveable stars, etc., were mixed up in a manner that would undoubtedly be wilder the great Architect of the Universe. Here he was invited up to drink, and we left tbe village spouter with the sad con sciousness that our early astronomical edu cation had been much neglected. As my letter has already assumed too great proportions, I will conclude the sub ject at another time. Bcz Fez. Real Estate Transfers.

Painting. R. Nelse Taylor has been doing a large business in Johnstown as a painter. He has painted all the directions for the streets in that piace. We saw in his office, the other day, a sign painted for "Cook & Henry," Aimstroug county ; also one for Lawrence Schroth, innkeeper, Car rolltown ; also one for John Dibert & Co., Johnstown. The last is the sign of John Dibert and John D. Roberts, Bankers, on Main street, who have opened a Bank of Deposit and Discount on the most reasona ble discounts and terras offered by any Bank. It is a much needed institution in that city. Give them a call. Fbost, There was one or two frosts in this vicinity last week, and the weather for a few Iays was exceedingly raw and chilly. Since tbe eclipse, however, the weather has been very pleasant, though cool enough to remind people that fall and winter is approaching, and that a stove will soon be come a household comfort Geo.

I have no love for seeing my name in print,but the unwarranted attack made npon me in the Altoona Vindicator will justify me in saying a few words in explanation. Picnic for objects of charity are common; and, with other democrats, I favored a Pic nic for the Vindicator, whose editor has always been the almoner of the party. The position I had at the picnic was as sumed at the request of the committee and several democrats, including Campbell him self. I was directed to get the beer, furnish the glasses, etc., and spent my time in doing my duty in the premises. What I ordered 1 became personally res ponsible for; and settled it out of the amount in my hands, as I had a right to do; and this is the great cause of Campbell's abuse. That more money was not made at my stand is no fault of mine. At Campbell's own request I left the stand to attend to things in the city, and was absent between one and two hours his son John taking my Flace. How the drawers fared in my absence do not know. John Campbell owned up to taking three dollars out, besides a dollar be asked me for and got. This was the case during two trips to the city. After the picnic closed, when we retumrd the glasses, etc., I paid to Mr. Fettinger, the treasurer, $96.50, and stated that I had bills to pay before making a final settlement. On Monday morning 1 proceeded to return the borrowed articles, and where things were broken or lost I paid for them, taking a receipt : for all of which I furnished a bill. About noon of Monday Campbell raised the hue and cry that I was short $150 to $190, and when I requested him to wait till the committee would meet and settle my ac count, he abused me for paying the bills, and asserted I had no right to do it. On Monday nigbt the committee met, and after examining the returns I made, the allegations cf Campbell were found untrue. Mr. Fettinger, the treasurer, pronounced himself entirely satisfied, and moved bat the committee pass a resolution clearing Mr. Ryan from all censure. This was passed without any objections. But to put the matter at rest forever, the following, as an amendment, was offered by Mr. McKiernan. and was not only passed but was sanctioned by all present : Whekkas, some indiscreet persons, by insin uation and inuendo, have intimated that Wm. Ryan, one of the Committee on the " Vindica tor' picnic, did not act as was expected of an honest mm ; And Whereas, be has shown by receipts produced and money paid to the Treas urer tba tall these charges are unfounded in fact ; therefore, be it Resolved, by a lull committee assembled, that we do, in justice to Mr. Ryan, on an ex animation of bis accounts, bnu all euch charges and insinuations unjust, and the committee take pride in exonerating Mr. Ryan from all puch charges. Names or Committee Col. John Woods, Chairman; Thomas M' Bride, James Glasgow, James Pendergast, James Fagan, Sain 1 Fries, Otto Rossi, Samuel Lloyd, A. F. He ess, Wm. Cassiday, Thomas Keogh, Wm. J. Ity&n, John Roberts, John Haitian. After all thi3 vindication, however the Vindicator bill was brought into a subse quent meeting of the committee, in my absence, and the committee refused to have anything further to do with it; and yet another time it was brought before the com mittee, when they again decided to drop tbe w hole matter. Not so the Vindicator, how ever, nor the man who uses it for his own purpose, and who could fiud no FUUnger occasion to blast the good name of a neigh bor, or exalt his own importance, than to turn the ribald columns of that ignoble sheet to such a base use. A fool may ask more questions than ten w'we men can answer, but if tbe foregoing is not a full answer to all the questions of the Vindicator, the annexed statement certainly is ; and so I leave the creature to the filthy use of the types with which he was charita bly furnished by the generosity of that party whose members he nevtr ceases to assail.

C. Ayer spent some weeks at Dresden, in con ference with the chemists of Central Europe, where he was heralded as the inventor of the world reuowned medicines that bear his uame, and considered one of the American celebrities. While riding, one day, his open carriage fell in with the cortege of the King of Saxony, on a drive from the review. Tbe Doctor soon became the chief attraction and received tbe marked attention of the people, who were even more demonstrative in their courtesies to him than to the King himself whom thoy see so constantly. Rmg John, observing this wrapped his military cloak around him and reclined upon his seat, while our great Americau medicine man did the honors for the royal retinue, graciously bowing, hat in hand, on every side, until wearied by his excessive condescension to this old monarch's people. Many Eminent Men have candidly as serted their opinion that there is no remedy equal to MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS for that class of diseases peculiar to people of se dentary habits. It is a preparation of wonder ful virtue in all cases of this kind, never hav ing failed in effecting a cure, and it'still con tinues on in its triumphant career. For all forms of diseases arising from impurity of the Blood or derangement of tbe digestive organs, including General Debility, Drapepela, Liver Complaint, Sick Headache, Constipation. aDd similar ailments, it is a certain remedy. Lead ing physicians everywhere prescribe it for their patients, and have given tbe proprietors of the Bitters many testimonials of their coufidence in the efficacy of the preparation as a remedy. Soli in square glass bottles only, by respecta ble druggists and storekeepers. Price one dol lar per bottle. Looking Up. Everybody was gazing heavenward through smoked glass on Sat urday evening to get a sight of the eclipse, which came off (or on, rather.) according to appointment. The day was favorable and the exhibition entirely satisfactory as much so in its way, perhaps, as the superb exhi bition of staple and fancy goods constant ly being made at the recently enlarged and always remarkably low priced -cash store of H. A. Shoemaker & Co., where any number of customers can be supplied with any quan tity or any kind of goods at any hour of the day or evening, almostat any price they offer. It Grew. All "Topsy" could say about herself was that she "grcwed." And all that can be said in answer to the often-asked question, "How did Oak Hall become so great ?" is tha t it grew. There was nothing miraculous about it, nothing beyond tbe or dinary laws of business development and expansion. Strict integrity, close and con stant application to business, an untiring study of the wants of the people must lead to permanent and large success. Disappeared.

Lock Up. As you pass along Main street, Johnstown, look up. look up. and you will see "Ooera Douse," and below that you will see "New York Clothing Hall," and below that you will see L. Cohen & Brother, two obliging gentlemen, who sell made-up cloth ing, argosies, hats, handkerchiefs, stockings, collars, trunks, umbrellas, etc., etc. Who Tolled That Lte 1 Who said that Murphy & Co., Houston House, Main street, Johnstown, Pa., have not the cheap est and best dry goods ever offered in this or any other market.
