Burke, the Court fixed Saturday, Sept. 2oth, lor hearing a habeus curpus to issue on behalf of the prisoner. SENTENCES. Lewis Ilolsner, convicted of murder in the second degree, was on Friday sentenced by Judge Taylor to undergo ten years' impris onment in separate and solitary confinement and hard labor in the Western Penitentiary. David Defenbaugher, alias John Mouse, alias Juhn Longstrtth, convicted of burgla ry, was sentenced to the sams institution for a term of four years, with solitary confine ment and hard labor. The prisoner has had the credit or discredit of representing this county in the penitentiary, under his brace of aliases, on two previous occasions. First, at January Sessions, 1851. John Brawley, Esq., the then Sheriff, conveyed him to that institution under a sentence of one year and six months' imprisonment for larceny. lie w33 John Mouse then. Again, under the name of John Eongstreth, at June Sessions, 1854, he was sentenced, on another indict ment for larceny, to two years' imprison ment in the penitentiary. Sheriff Durbin was his official escort on that occasion. So it will be seen that Moue-Lonstreth-Defenbaugher has had considerable experience in the criminal calendar of the county and can boast an intimate acquaintance with the in ternal arrangements of the receptacle for mah factors in Allegheny cit'. While Ifolsner and Defenbaugher were be ing escorted to the cars en routo for the pen itentiary, on Monday morning last, the lat ter expressed himself satisfied with th ar rangement, and facetiom-ly remarked that he 'was going home again," indicating pretty clearly that imprisonment in the penitentiary had no terrors for him, whatever may be its influence on others of hi3 class. The Court having made the usual order fr the i-Kivng r.f "ven re" for the December icrm.on Friday evening adjourned to meet Wednesday, Oct. 13th, at 10 o'clock, a. m. A Handsome Leg act. It has becn be lieved for some time past by the parties in teiested that a valuable legacy, amounting to some JLC7.000. had been bequeathed by a deceased uncle in London to one or all of the Welsh branch of the Thomas family, of which Mr. Richard Thomas, of this place, is a member, and with a view to learning the truth or falsity of this reported windfall, Mr. Ii. H. Themas, of this place, a nephew of the aforesaid Richard, ami himself one of the heirs of his deceased father's intersst, if interest he had, designs sailing lrom New York for London ou Saturday of next week, and if it be true, as believed, that this im mense sum has been bequeathed to the fami ly, be will doubtless succeed in establishing their claim to the fortune. We wib him a safe, prosperous and altogether satisfactory voyage. Two young men, Mr. Ebenezer Edward., cf Blacklick township, and Mr. Wm, Jones, of Cambria township, propose to accompany Mr. Thomas the former in hopes of regaining Lis health and the latter on a visit to his relatives in Wales. Democratic Meetings. racJcer, Per sliiti'j and Pennsylvania's Proper it tj. F. A. Shoemaker, Esq., Chairman of the Coun ty Committee, has designated the following times and places for holding Democratic meetings during the present month. Other meotingj will be announced in our ntxt issue : At Loretto. at 7 o'clock on Saturday even ing next, Sept. 25th. At Belsano, Blacklick township, at tho same hour of the same day. At Piattville, in Susquehanna township, at 2 o'clock, p. m., on Tuesday, Sept. 28th. At Fallen Timber, White township, at 4 o'clock, p. m., on Wednesday, Sept. 29th. Speakers competent to discuss the issues of the campaign will ba present at all these meetings, and it is to be hoped that tho democratic and conservative citizens of the several localities will tern out ia full force. The Long Agont Over. The pastoral residence heretofore owned by the Catholic congregation of this place has passed into the hands of another owner. The drawing came off at the Court House on Friday night last, and the lucky winner of the prize is a young man named Wm. R. De Armitt, a clerk at the Mountain Houso, Cresson, and a nephew of our townsman, Col. Wm. K. riper. The whole number of chances taken reached some seven hundred at $2 each, and tho one hundred and first ticket drawn won the valuable prize. The fortunate recipient is said to be a worthy young man and the son of a widow, who, with several younger brothers and sisters, is dependent upon him for support. We congratulate him upon his good luck, and are glad that the fine property has passed into such deserving bands. Gon'K East. Harry Shoemaker, who keeps tho biggest dry goods and grocery store in northern Cambria, went east on Tuesday night, and ere many days there will be a stock of fall goods ou his shelves which will "astonish the natives." Of course it will be a choice assortment, as Harry knows what to bay and how to buy it so as to please his customers in goods and prices. Never Surpassed. Our merchant Wend, A. G. Fry, has too much enterprise to permit any one to either undersell him in price or surpass him in the beauty and extent of his stock. Ho has just added largely to his as sortment of fall dress and dry goods, and feels sure that ho can suit the tastts and jjrses of all comers. Real Est at k TuASEFEns.

Oatman, the extensive gro cer and flour dealer, receives more goods and sells in greater bulk than any merchant in this community, and it is fair to presume that this large trade is the result of fair deal ing and the superiority of the flour, grocer ies, etc., sold by him. Wherever his East ern Star Flour has tern tsted it has given j satisfaction, and the same may be said of all thejother articles with which he supplies his many customers at tho very lowest prices. The Most Contested Mas. The wick edest man lives in New York. The most contented man lives in Johnstown. He is called James J. Murphy. lie keeps a clo thing store on Clinton street.

He can supply the wants of any customer, and he is a very obliging man. Call and so him. A Mountain Voice. We predict that a spirit will haunt our mountains before one month passes around, and will cry out, "Go to Leopold Mayer's Dry Goods Store, No. 212 Main street. Opera House, Johnstown, and buy all your dress goods, fancy goods, muslins, ribbons, hats and bonnets, and woe! woe ! woe ! to them tha do not heed thi3 admonition, for their money will be given for that which is not bread, and the reward of their labor for that which satisfieth not." Autumn. Thin is the first month of au tumn a season which admonishes all of the near approach of winter and now is the time to be setting your houses in order for the cold weather. If you Deed a cook or heating stove, or any other of the number less articles indispensable to housekeeping, don't fail to patronize Geo. Huntley, the only hardware dealer in Ebensburg, and you will be sure to get tho best article for the least money at all times. O Yes! O Yes! O Yes! That's what a court crier fiaya. Auctioneers also cry out. "U yes !" aud then sell bad goods at half price. But Murphy & Co. can sell dry goods without crying ''O yes!" Just call at their store, 'Houston House, Main street, Johns town, and witness the crowd congregated there, waiting a chance to buy and carry away an armful of goods, or a wagon load, as is sometimes the case. The "boys" know how to please. Custom Work. Leopold & Brother, Clo thing Merchants. 211 Main street, Johns town, keep constantly ou hand the latest fashion plates; and will insure any customer a new suit of clothes, made according to or der, in five days after the measure is taken. They keep samples cf all kinds of cloth for examination. They also keep on hand all kinds of made-up clothing, for summer or winter, which will be sold cheap. L. Cohen, of L. Cohen & Brother, is now in the Eastern cities laying in a stock of new and seasonable clothing. They have now on hands a very large assortment of cheap made-up clothing. But notwithstanding this, they call their stock low, and are lay ing in a very large additional stock of fall and winter styles of the very best make and the tip-top ef fashion. Give them a call and see their new goods. But Now. When a merchant is anxious to sell the stock he has in order to make room for a new one, purchasers may depend upon getting the very best of bargains, and as Vallie Barker is iu that fix-just now, his closing out sale of summer goods is being made at a wonderful reduction in prices. Go right away and see if he hasn't a bargain for you, for next week he buys a new stock. TnB First Man. Adam was the first man created, but Rowley Davis was the first man.

Johsstown, Sept. 20, 1869. Dear Freenian We are bad off for local news this wetk, and as we can do no better, a little censure will do you no harm. You must not write us such funny letters any more, or "faith we'll print 'em," though the last did just as much good as a sensible one. Again, you must not publish locals from East Conemaugh without our advice, which will be given gratuitously. Again, do not, for the Lord's sake, publish any more sen sational articles from the California papers about earthquakes. That wriUr on earth quakes may be a savant, but we set him down as a sa vage. 1st. There is no such conjunction of the stars (planets) as he in timates. 2d. If there was, it would not pro duce an eat tbqaake. 3d. If it did, it would as probably occur in Cambria county as in California. The earth revolves once in twenty-four hours, exposing all of its surface to the attraction of said planets in said pe riod. 4th. There have been earthquakes when there was no conjunction of the (stars), aid, again, there have been earthquakes wheu there were conjunctions of the planets. 5th. If dry weather will bring earthquakes, then we ought to have an earthquake. 6th. There arc no heavy spots on the sun just now, and if there were they would disappear before the time of the winter's earthquake, as the sun revolves on its axis in twenty-five days. 7th. Storms and earthquakes are different things. 8th. Aurora Borealis and earthquakes are different things. 9th. Elec tricity and earthquakes are different things. 10th. What is an e.nthquake ? 11th. Any body who ever saw a pot of mush boiling aud puffing knows what an earthquake is. 12th. The cause of au earthquake is inter nal and not external. 13th It is just as pro bable that colic is caused by the attraction of the moon as that earthquakes are produced by the attraction of the planets. 14th. Earthquakes are caused by internal fires, producing gas, rarified air, or steam, or all three, which must have vent, and which forces chasms to open, the earth till it escapes, alter which ibe disturbed mass settles in statu quo, just as the gas of tho urilcr aforesaid escaped when ho wrote that arti cle., which wa3 written to terrify John Chi naman and prevent Chinese immigration. A turn. Now, abcut local. Well, Millville bor ough schools have new books, and the peo ple are pleased, because, owing to the good management of the School Directors, the people got new books for old ones. The workmen on the Germau Lutheran Church have put up a spire the height i f one hundred and thirty feet. The spire of the German Catholic church in Conemaugh borough will be about two hundred feet high. It is now goiDg up. Tho election is coming arcund rapidly, and the people should see that the name of each voter is on the registry books, other wise many may loso their votes. The De mocracy cannot be to careful in registering every name in each district teu days before the election. Our friend John Drumgold, a boss brick layer from Altoona, does a rushing business in our town. Week before last he run up an entire house, frorn foundation to garret, Hues and all. The house Contains over thirty-five thousand bricks. New pavements are being laid on Morris street, Grant street, anil around the Uniou Hall and the Third Ward school house, on Washington street. Oar market is now abundantly supplied with green fruit3 and vegetables, such as corn, potatoes, rantelopes. watermelons, ap ples, peaches, pears, turnips, cucumbers, et cetera. The circus show was flte institution on Monday last. It attracted, as Is usual, a large assembly of bipeds who came to see the quadrupeds, and the shoic generally, inclu ding a side glance at the u' show, lhe schools were partially closed, as well as some people's eyes. The Assistance Fire Company have caused a nice f'.'uce, made of palings, to be put around their lot, and a pavement rennd the palings. This improvement was much needed. Elderberries must be plentiful, judging from the quantity brought to town daily in baskets, buckets and other vessels. Tucy are the cheapest and best fruit the season affords, and are said to be a very wholesome diet. We have now two livery stables in town, and they have first class carriages. So, Mr. Editor, when you come to town and feel flush of money, as most editors do wheu they get a dollar or two, just hire a barouche and a pair of match horses, and take "ye local" out to Whiskey Springs. It would bo good for your health. We advise school directors to look out for teachers at an early day for the winter term, for teachers, sufficiently qualified, will be as scarce and as hard to find this fall as needles in a haystack. Rose and Harry Watkins performed in the Opera House on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday evenings. On Saturday the play was "Kathleen Mavourneen." We do not know where this troupe hails from. On Monday evening the Union Hall was filled with a crowd, to listen to a concert got up for the purpose of aiding the Avondale sufferers. Miss Lena Luckhardt. of this place, Was tho chief performer rn the piano. The unfortunate Avondale sufferers will be fortunate if they really get all that has been raised for them throughout the country, amounting to more than $2000 apiece. On Friday evening a man named Napo leon Young w alked seven miles in one hour, on the public square, and ran a great dis tance on Saturday evening. A purse was raised for him. Society was not much bene fitted by the exploit. The Johnstown Tribune acknowledges that there is great apathy here, and looks forward to defeat unless something is did by the Radicals. Defeat will come. Maoy of onr merchants are now down east purchasing their fall goods. The city papers say that the styles are abomnably ugly this fall. Paris has ran out of patterns. Nothing has been done as yet towards nominating -a ticket for borough officers, but there is secret working in order to spring an objectionable ticket upon the people when it is too late to remedy the matter a mean way of carrying an election. Rob Rot. Altoona Citt, Sept. 20. 1860. Dear Freeman The democrats of this city have made their municipal nominations, and have selected a first rate set of men to lead as to victory. For Mayor that veteran apos tle of democracy, Gen. Geo. W. Potts, who has grown gray in the service of his party, has been re-nominated by acclamation a merited tiibute to a faithful officer and a worthy man. For Treasurer our amiable German friend, John Bowman, Esq., has been chosen, and to speak in praise of his capacity, integrity or democracy would be entirely superfluous. His election is a fore gone conclusion. In the selection of School Directors we have been very fortunate. E. C Epler and John II. Roberts, the nominees, are both men of integrity and high social standing men who will add dignity to the School Board and bring honor to those posi tions which tho present. narrow-minded and bigoted incumbents baverendered a by-word ai:d a reproach. Of the minor candidates I need not speak at lengrh ; suffice it to say that they are all good and reliable men and 60imd democrats. The radicals have also made their nomi Dntions. For Mayor they havo selected a stately old Fox, a blacksmith by trade, and an honest, sober, capable mau, but if he pro poses to remain at the anvil until he is elect ed Mayor he has a long time yet to work ht his trade. If Gen. Totts does not get a sud den attack of diarrhoaa he w ill run that old Fox off tho track before he has passed over half the course. Thomas Elway, an Iling lioh gentleman, has becn pHt forward by the radicals for City Treasurer, and although he is a worthy man and would make a credita ble officer, it does seem a little strange thai the old leaven of know-nothingism which forms the greater part of the radical loaf, would permit that proscriptive party to nominate a foreigner, and especially an Eng lishman, for the most lucrative office in the city. If I am not much mistaken there is a Dear knight of the old stock of know-nothings who will see that Mr. Elway is spared the trouble cf manipulating our city finances. Of course w e democrats do not object to Mr. Elway simply because he bad the misfortune to be born outside the jurisdiction of "the best government the world ever saw," but those "loil," God-fearing leaders of the radi cal party who afe constantly declaring that none but Americans should rule America, will prove themselves possessed of capacious stomachs if they can swallow thia Elway pill without making ujly faces. The last Altoona Tribune remarked that all autl-V indicator democrats were nomina ted. Of that fact, if it is a fact, I was not aware, but I am reliably informed that there is not a single candidate on either ticket who would sustain the theory advanced by the Tribune for the improvement of our city. I take it, therefore, that the rebuke admin istered to the hitter paper is fully as severe as that given, if giveu at all, to its late co temporary. Tho "government" passed through our city on Monday of last week.. One of the big spokes in the radical wheel, Hon. John Scott, was introduced to the small gathering by that princo of "!oi!ty" aud grand master of ceremonies, W. Leo Woodkok, who said he was too exceedingly happy in haviDg the extreme pleasure of introducing one of the main pillars of the government to the citi zens of Altoona. Senator Scott's speech con sisted entirely of a fulsome eulogy of Grant and his administration, and at its conclusion he was vociferously cheered by one man and two boys, after which the special train moved off in tho direction of Pittsburgh. Heaven Grant we may nerer look upon such another demonstration ! Fairs aud picnics still hold sway in this vicinity. The German Reformed and Bap tist congregations havo each a Fair in oper tiou for the benefit of their respective church es. The Good Will boys held their annual picnic on Wednesday and Thursday, which was well patronized by the public. On Fri day and Saturday the Grand Army of the Republic held a picnic for the ostensible pur pose of aiding the willows and orphans of deceased soldiers. When I learn how much if any of the proceeds have been devoted to that commendable object, I shall be glad to make a note ' it.

I. M. Carholltown, Sept. 20, 1869. Dear Freeman Our town made a very narrow escape from a disastrous conflagra tion a few days ago. A spark communica ted fire to the roof of a kitchtn in rear of the hotel property of Mr. D. Eger, but for tunately the flames were observed ere they had made much headway, and the judicious application of a few buckets of water pre vented the fire from doing much damage. If unobserved for a fow moments longer the flames would have acquired eo much volume as to render it impossible to subduo them, and a disastrous destruction of property would have resulted. I have not learned that meeting of our common council was called on the following evening, and a quart of grease appropriated, by their order, to grease the runniug gears of our elegant steam fire engine. The examination of applicants for bor ough and township schools was held here on Thursday last. About a dozen of teachers were examined aud a young mau named Mr. Severn selected as one of tho borough teach ers. I believe the teachers for the balance of schools are not yet selected. Skinner & Co.'s Indian show performed here, to a fair audience ou Friday last.. The wild war-whoops and "savagerous" deline ations of Indian character, s given by three red men and ona comely but very peacable looking squaw, were a source of unmitiga ted pleasure to the rising generation, and imaginary scalping scenes and war dances are incorporated for tho time being as stan dard games, to be superseded shortly by "shinny" and "mumble peg." The brick work on our new convent build ing has been completed and the carpenters are busy preparing for the roof. The build ing is a commodious one, but does not, ex teriorly, present a very handsome architec tural appearance. At another time I will give a general descry t": n of it. I am pained to announce the death of Mrs. Buck, a most estimable lady who resided within the limits of onr borough, which oc curred on Sunday morning last. Mrs. Buck was the relic of Jerome Buck, deceased, and daughter of John Flick, Esq. She was a lady of great sweetness of disposition and unassuming deportment, and was beloved and highly esteemed by this entire commu nity. Deceased leaves two very young children, who are of too tender an ago to realize the great loss they have sustained. May she rest in peace. Your correspondent must crave indulgence for brevity and general lack of interest in this letter, but will make the usual promise of doing better next time. Buz Fuz. A Rat ih a Boy's Stomach. We called at the house of Mr. James S. Mann, resid ing on Emma street, on Monday evening last, to witness a live rat which bad been ejected from the stomach of a little boy, about five years of age, the son of Mrs. Sarah Rogers. The little fellow, as stated by the mother, had been playiDg around the yard, when feeling no doubt uncomfortable, he came to his mother and displayed rest lessness and sickness, with frequent evi dence of strangulation, exciting the mother's fears that something serious was about to transpire. After great exertion, he threw up, to all intents and pnrposes, an actual living rat, which, s far as the mother could toll, micht havo been swallowed by Ihobor. but in what way and manner will perhaps remain forever a mystery. Iho rat could not have been, from all appearance, more than three of four days old, as it was entire ly hairless measuring, as near as we could iudgo not having a rule at hard au inch and a half in length, alive and kicking. A number of onr citizens have been called in, in order to determine its paternity and tho circumstances connected with the strange occurrence. Altocna Tribune. Stkictit Pchk ANfy Wiior.fcsmiK !
