An Infamocs Outrage. Our young
friend, James A. Kittell, writing from Sand
Patch, Somerset county, to bis father in this
place, tinder date of August 23d, gives the
following particulars of the most infamous
act of sacrilegious vandalism thai we have
ever saw recorded. Sncb impious wretches
as the perpetrators of this horrible crime are
a disgrace to humanity, and we could scarce
ly believe that religions bigotry could beget
such hellish propensities even in Somerset
county :
On Saturday evening last,
the priest, Father Brown, went to the church
to hear confessions. On opening the door he
found the Mass book torn to pieces and scat
tered over the floor and peats. The candles
were cut into small pieces and ranged around
the altar steps, as if in mockery. The taber
nacle was taken down and broken up. The
altar clothes were daubed and smeared all over
with human 21th, and everything on and about
the altar was destroyed. The vestry room was
broken open and the priest's vestments cut and
torn into shreds, and the alur bread waa real
terej and trampled on the floor. The chalice
and platin were hammered with a poker into a
shapeless mads, completely destroying them
In fact, everything connected with the church,
even to the pictures on the walls.were destroyed.
Such a sight as the inside of tbe church pre
sented I never want to see again. There must
have been three or four persons engaged in this
diabolical work of destruction, but no positive
clue has yet been had to them. Suspicion fas
tened upon one man, and the indignation of the
Catholics was so great that fears were enter
tained that they would deal with him summa
rily. The proof not being positive saved him,
but I fear even yet that violent means will be
ukea with parties suspected- Of cour.-e it was
none of the men at work on the railroad mak
ing here, who are nearly all Catholics, but per
sons residing in the neighborhood, and if they
are found out it will be apt to go luird with
them. Entrance to tbe church was effected
through a window, and the time occupied in
doing the damage must have been fully two
hours. The church stands back Irom the pub
lic road, and is entirely surrounded by trees,
so that no one passing could see what was go
ing on. Of couve pickets were out to give
tbe alarm, however, should any one be seen
approaching.

Union, and that they were fortunate enough
to secure the services of Prof. Lewis (Llew

close, and the Society have decided to give
one public rehearsal, as our readers will see
by referring to a 1 vertisement in another

occasion, and hope that our fellow citizens
will abundantly prove their appreciation of
this excellent choir.
- A Taca Fbiend. Our talented young
friend, Geo. J. Akers, of Johnstown, has
during tbe present week sent us the names
of no less than thirteen new subscribers to
the Freeman, and a portion of the money
for the same. Mr. Akers is not yet a voter,
but he is an earnest democrat and a most
estimable young gentleman, and the exam
ple he Las set in this particular is worthy
the imitation of our earnest friends all over
the county. Thank you sincerely, George,
and may heaven ever bless and prosper you.
James J. Mukpht. Those of our
readers who are not acquainted with Jas. J.
Muiphy, Xo. 109 Clinton street, Johnstown,
should not put off the chance of an introduc
tion. A sure as they find him out they will
go home loaded down with coats, pant, vests,
collars, hdkfs., ombrellas, and such like.
James has a splendid assortment of made-up
clothing which he will dispoof at low prices,
more especially summer clothing.
The Boys.- We call them tbe boys,
because they are not b'hoys, but clever young
men carrying en a Dry Goods Store on- their

House, Main street, Johnstown. Them's them.
They keep all kinds of dry'geods and dress
goods, fancy goods and notions, at low cash
prices. They have a smile for every one, aad
before leaving every one has a smile for them.
Header, take a smile.
Fairs. Blair county intends sporting
two Fairs this fall one in HoMidaysborg and
the other in Altoona both at the same time.
There is to be no Fair here, except the rata

Just in Tim. An ingenious little
machine that will pare, core and slice apples,

- JOHX8TOWN,Aug. SO, I860.
Dear Freeman We were greatly pleased
last week with oar own local, and think if
everybody else waa pleased it would make a
remarkable coincidence. Tbe news this
week, however, is very scarce, and we will
fail this time sure.
A STORK.
The first thing we will mention is that a
very black cloud arose in the west, on last
Saturday at five o'clock, and thundered a
terrible storm. We thought Covode and
Geary must be both in that cloud, sure.
The majority of people were frightened, but
it turned out, like all other black things, a
grand -humbug. It u true there was con
siderable, rata in that cloud, and some wet
fell, but there was little storm.
" ' .-"irutf.
The Marsh 'Minstrels play-la piece here
on Friday night and repeated it on Saturday
night, but as we were not there either by
invitatation or volition, and as we do not
puff gratuitously, we know nothing of the
result. - ' ' 1 i
FEASTINC.
The Welsh Congregationalists had a festi
val on the 30lh ult., at their church in this
place, the latest of the season. A blind man
named Wheaton, held a concert in the M.
E. church the same evening. The attend
ance was not so good as should be expected,
however, yet it paid expenses.
BUILDINGS.
Our worthy Burgess is having bnilt for
his own use a neat brick mansion on Main
street, near the centre of town. The build
ing is to have all the modern appendages of
fashionable dwellings. . Nobody deserves
better to live nice Mr. Fritz' house is pro
gressing rapidly. There will be a bay win
dow in front and one at tbe side. lion. D.
J. Morrell ia also having two repertories or
bay windows, built in his residence one at
each end. We are so ignorant that we may
not use these terms correctly, and hence we
will explain. What we call a bay window
is a semi-octagoual wing projecting from the
main building, with windows in, generally
used for rearing house flowers. This is at
least as good a definition as the Irishman's
description of a dium. which he said was "a
little barrel wid leather ends, to rattle on,
to call tbe men together." . .
TOWS COUNCIL.
From the proceedings of our Town Coun
cil at their last meeting it would appear
that they can't see bow the city got a thou
sand dollars' worth of water last year, when
it did not get any. They voted 7 to 1
against allowing said company $1,000.
A DEW TBINO.
Our mutual friend. John J. Murphy, has
bought the dry goods store of Mr. David Di
bert, corner of Fianklin and Main streets,
and has rented the store room for a term of
years. He has sent on for a large stock of
new goods. Let it be understood that John
J. Murphy is neither James J. Murphy nor
Murphy & Co., but just our clever John J.
Murphy. We wish John great tmccets at
the cheap corner.
CABPET BAOOBR9.
But I am digressing. I must go back on
local. Well, nothing more baa been heard
from the infanticide case, nor tbe carpet
sack either, except that our worthy Coroner,
Mr. llarrold, tbinks that it is a sure sign
that carpet baggers are comiog north.
A MEAN THING.
We are astonished that the Radical Press
is so mean as to underrate tbe abilities of
Hon. Cyrus L. Pershing. We have traveled
the State over, and have heard eminent law
yers arguing cases in the Supreme Court of
this State and in the U. S. District Court,
as well as the Courts of Westmoreland, In
diana, Dauphin, Allegheny, Somerset, and
other counties, and we honestly think that
there are not better lawyers in this State,
anywhere, than either Mr. Pershing, Mr.
Johnston, Mr. Koptlin.'Mr. Reade, Mr.
Potts cr Mr. McLaughlin, all of our own
bar. Some of these men are republicans and
some are democrats, bat all are talented
men, and it is an act of consummate mean
ness to attempt to injure Mr. Pershing by
such statements. We have also other bril
liant young men rising at our bar of both
parties, and God forbid that we 6hould speak
evil of them, belong to what party they
may. . We might speak slightingly of Mr.
Williams, the republican candidate for the
same office, but we cannot conscienciously
do so. Both he and Mr. Pershing are suf
ficiently qualified for the office, and will not
lose any in comparison with the other
judges.
SCHOOLS.
Couoty Supt. T. J. Chapman held an ex
amination for four teachers, last Saturday,
in Cambria'boroogh. Johnstown. Millville,
Conemangh and Prospect boroughs all have
their school teachers selected now for this
year.
VAN KILLED.
John Mvers. a single man. was killed on
the Cambria Iron Company's railroad, near
the Third Ward School House, on Saturday
afternoon about five o'clock. The cinder
train was backing down from Woodvale
with workmen on board returning from their
labor, and as a terrible storm was just com
mencing, it is supposed the train was run
ning faster than usual, or the dust may have
blown so as to blind the engineer. At any
rate, from some cause the train ran off the
track and Myers, who was acting as a brake
man, was thrown off, his left arm broken
and his right side so bruised that he died in
about one hour. He boarded at Joseph
Shoemaker's, in Conemaugh borough, to
which place he waa carried. m Coroner Har
rold held an inquest over the'body and the
testimony showed the facto to be about the
same as above stated. Mr. Myers had for
merly been an engineer here, bwt left for
California, where he had been for several
years. .He returned only about five months
ago.
BAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A man named John Phillips was eeverely
injured on Monday about ten o'clock on the
Penna. railroad. He was rear brakemaa on
Pacific Express (a new line) going east, and
while leaning from the car platform to look
round tbe corner, his head struck a freight
car, which resulted in his beicg knocked
from the cars. He was carried to the Hous
ton House, where three of bis toes were am
putated and bis head dressed. He is on a
fair way to recover.
THE TC&F.
Quite a crowd was gathered on Saturday
in tbe afternoon, at the race grounds, near
Franklin borough, to witness a race between
Dr. Emerson's mare and a horse belonging
to Ed. Maldren. Meldren was to give 260
vards in a mile race, the best out of three
times. The storm spoiled the race. Emer
son's nag would have most undoubtedly
beat, but there was no race, and the matter
is still undecided.
A PIC-NIC.
There was a pic-nic at Woodvale on Sat
urday, held for the benefit of the Johnstown
brass band. Things went on as merry as a
marriage bell till the storm came on, at five
o'clock, which spoiled the fun and concluded
the exercises. -
WILDCAT.
About a thousand barrels a day of wild
cat water is nsed here by private Cam' lies,
besides what tbe Cambria Iron Company
uses, which is a considerable amount to come
from one wild-cat, .
OTOSa MATTERS.
Mks Sarah P. Kidder lectured on Monday
evening in Union Hall, on the subject of
"Soldiers' Orphans Schools," to a respecta
ble audience. .
There Is an entire change of schedule on
the Penna. R. B., but we are not yet in
formed of the particulars. The Company
ought to advertise these changes of schedule,
at least one week before they take place, in
order that travelers may know when to meet
the trains.
There was one or two cases of rowdyism
before hw Honor, Burgess Rose, on Satur
day evening, but tbe persons implicated were
let off with a reprimand. Hope tbe people
will soon learn to behave themselves.
Tbe weather has grown cooler, and peo

Carrolltown, August 80, 1869.
Dear Freeman Our town again begins
to assume its former lively aspect, as the hus
bandment have at length a breathing spell
after the busy harvest season, just closed.
The advent of the bricklayers and their
"clerks," who are at present employed at the
Convent building, materially assists in en
livening our village. -
A rather bold larceny was perpetrated at
the residence of Henry Hopple,-jr., in Car
roll township, on Wedcesday of last week.
Two young men in a buggy drove up to the
house, and one of them, alighting, entered
and requested a little girl (the only occu
pant ot the house at the time.) to give bim
a drink of-water. The. child complied by
handing him a cup of water, and after drink
ing it the thief coolly appropriated a valua
ble silver watch which was hanging in the
room, and cautioning the girl not to tell any
person that she knew of it being taken, he
departed. As soon as they were out of sight
she ran to the field and informed Mr. U. of
the transaction. Immediate pursuit was
made, but tbe larcenist esciped. Tbe next
morning the watch was found in the vicinity
of the wagon shed, and it is. presumed that
the party strongly suspected, brought it
back during the night, fearing detection.
1 understand our enterprising citizen, Mr.
Wertner. designs erecting a large tannery
contiguous to the new steam saw mill in

Mr. Henry Blum brewer, has excavated a
very extensive beer vault in the rear of his
brewery. It ia eighteen feet beneath the
surface, and will be walled and arched with
stone.
Our street commissioner has had a force
of workmen engaged for several days past
in making some much needed improvements
to Main street.
Pierce's panorama of dissolving views was
exhibted at Blum's Hall, an Thursday even
ing last. The entertainment was moral and
highly interesting, and gave general satisfac
tion to all present.
Blackberries are unusually plenty in this
neighborhood, yet they find a ready market
at six cents and seven cents per quart.
There are a large number of persons in
this town and adjoining townships who are
not yet registered, and if they fail to attend
to having their names put on their respect
ive Register's lists before tbe ten days pre
vious to the election, they will lose their
votes. The lists are now posted in each
election precinct, and should be examined by
all interested.
The members of the Carrolltown brass
band are practicing several new and pretty
airs. Although not having quite the requi
site number of instruments, their music is
difficult to excel.
Our city fathers have contracted for the
Lbuilding of a lock-up near the public school
house. The carpenter are no at wora
upon it, and it will be completed in a few
days.
Mr. Albin Oswald, of this place, lost a
valuable horse by death, on Saturday.
Your correspondent was made the recipi

Rt. Rev. Bishop D oroenec will bless a mag- j

The Eveniso Herald. The publishers
of this spicy Philadelphia democratic daily

The Maoic Windmill. This curious and
instructive toy is got up by Messrs. Wana
rnaker & Brown and given gratis to every
boy who wears Oak Hall jackets and pants.
Their establishment has become a great fa
vorite with the children because of the "good
clothes" sold there at prices so moderate
that mothers can't help buying them. Get
Johnny hia new suit at Oak Hall this time,
mother, and you will be better pleased and
more economical than ever before to say
nothing of the "windmill."
Mr, Lkopold Mayer Dear Sir : We
are beginning to look anxiously for another
"Book of Sybil," or some other book which
wilt tell as all about your cheap Dry Ooods
Store, Opera House, 214 Main street, Johns
town. What say you ? You advertise very
liberally generally, won't you give ua another
book on silks, satins, velvets, bonnets, hats,
ribbons, dress goods, bhawls, furs, etc.? Let
us hear from vou soon. Maut Ladies.
Leopold & Brother This firm have
just received some choice clothing at 241
Main Street, at their rooms known as Oak
Hall. They are safe buyers and honest deal
ers. Their made up clothing is all of their
own manufacture, and they sell as low as the
times will possibly admit. The sewing is good
and the cloth warranted to be what it is repre
sented. They are very kind and obliging
salesmen and'think it no trouble to show goods.
Emu. Young, Clinton street, Johns
town, deals in all kinds of clocks and watches,
ear and finger wring, and jewelry generally
We are indebted to Mr. Yttung for a pai r of
