Local Correspondence.
Carrolltown, Oct. 4, 18G9.
Dear Freeman Not a solitary ripple has
disturbed the tei o.- of thef metaphysically
local sea, hereaways, during the week pant,
nd I fuel tix- disheartened over such a re
sult t undertake the manufacture of any
thing that would interest the local news
hunters who are anxious to keep poted in
the general run of affairs transpiring in this
locality. But as regularity is the crowning
virion in a local correspondent, I must needs
keep up appearances, and for this reason
will branch tut upon a subj et which will,
perhaps, iuteiest at least that fortiori of
your readers who are uuacqnuinted with the
"iay of the land" in the n r h of our couuty.
There is a great many villages and settle
ments distributed throughout this vicinity,
but which de not occupy very prominent
positions on the maps, and perhaps it would
not be amiss to devote a little space to their
general history. About three miles north of
Carrolltown is the historical location known
as y
hart's SLEEPING place.
It is now more than a century since John
Hart, a German trader, followed the path
known as the "Kiltanning trail," in his
trips across the Allegheny mountains. A
short distance west of the residence of Mr.
William Weakland, cne of the old pioneers
and first settlers in this locality, the "trail '
is still visible, and here, tradition saith, Hart
bivouacked for the night in his lonely soli
tary journeys over the tangled wilds of a
then almost inaccessible wilderness. A sta
ple driven into a large oak tree, and which
was found inserted there when the first set
tlement was made in that vicinity, is said to
have beea put in and used by Hart for the
purpose of bitching his horse on occasions
when he would rest for the night. A few
jrears ago the tree was cut down, but the
staphi is preserved in the family of Mr.
Weak!aud as a relic of the old "Indian
trader."
Near the Bite of this tree a Catholic church
was erected about forty years ago, which is
still standi n s, and Is yet frequently used in
the celebration of divine service. I believe
it was built shortly after the illustrious priest,
Gallittin. formed a Catholic settlement and
erected his church at Lorctto. This church
U known as "St. Josephs., and the spirit
ual wants of the little cougregalion were
attended to by Father Gallitzin, who held a
regular "station' here for several years.
The burial place surrounding the church is
well filled with hardy pioneers who suffered
all the privations, toil ami dangers incident
to new settlers in the then wLHirrress, and
who, "after life's fitful fever, sleep well."
The first interment made here w&u that of
an Esquire Kinney, who died and wn buried
about the year 1831.
Of the descendants of these "first famniMes'
some still reside in the vicinity and others
are scattered throughout the various por
tions of the county where the tent of their
inclination led them to locate. In conversa
tion A7itk the wife of one of the earliest set
tlers an old woman who had lived past the
three score-n-ten I asked her if hhe was
not fiequently troubled in those early days
by wild beasts? "Yes," she answered. "I
was particularly -so on one occasion ; my
husband had gone away to be absent several
days, and the entrance to our log house was
not secured. The mht after he left a large
pack of wolves came howling around, and I
was in mortal terror during that entire night,
for fear they would enter, but they did not,
and as soon as daylight came I prepared a
barricade to prevent them from coming in,
in case they should return again."
The country around ""IJart's Sleeping
Flace." which half a century ago was liter
ally a "howling wilderness," is new one of
the best farming sections ia Carroll town
ship. The indomitable persevera-nce of those
hardy settlers bas caused the forest to disap
pear, and in its stead fine fields under culti
vation are now to be seen.
In conclusion, it will amply repay the
traveler through this section of the county
to visit the old trader's "sleeping place,"
and chat an hour with some of the old set
tlers who are always willing to live ot
again, in story, the early days of their trials
and tribulations in this then new and rugged
country. Buz r uz.

Dear Freeman Our town was treated to
a parade on last Saturday by a new military
company called the "Johustown Z iuaves.
Capt. Decker. They were in full uniform,
armed Bnd equipped, and presented a hand
some appearance. Things looked like statxus
quo anti oellum .
The two mn who fell from the tower of
the German Catholic church last week are
going about again. Oue is at work. The
incident reminded us of the one which you
published a few weeks go, of a child fall
ing from a second story window and esca
ping, and then breaking its neck by a fall
out of bed.
Court commenced to-day. and the Hall
seems crowded with suitors, jurors, witnesses
and spectators. The different constables
presented their returns. The grand jury
was called, charged and sworn, but up to the
time of writing nothing of importance has
occurred. Several petitions have been pre
sented and motions made. We will try and
write again.- If too late, then look for a
synopsis of the proceedings next week.
Jackscn and Locust streets, that pass by
the Catholic church, are being paved, which
we consider the most necessary improvement
in town. Thousands attend church there
and at the German Lutheran, just opposite,
and the place was nothing before but an ex
tensive mud-hole. The change makes quite
an improvement.
Autumn has come. Leaves are falling,
birds mustering and leaving for Southern
climes, vegetation decaying, and nature as
suming a sombre aspect.
Mr. Geo. T. Swank is just about issuing
from the press one of the most useful works
of the day, a copy of which he promises to
bend you as early as possible. It is a com
plete "Directory of Johnstown Borough and
Suburbs," or of nine boroughs, giving the
residence and employment of over two thou
sand persons, and fin Johnstown) the num
bers of the residences. It is a book of about
400 pages, and much labor was required to
get It up. It is a sefal book to anybody
and everybody, and barring a few errors in
the preface, such as the statement that the
Peana. Railroad did Dot help to develop the
place, etc., it is a book of unexceptional
merit. Our enterprising friend ought to be
eaoouraged. The first edition will comprise
about OQ8 thousand copies. Price only fifty
cents wonderful cheap.
There was a Welsh Presbytery, or some
other collection of Welsh ministers (perhaps
Conference) held here last week. Quite a
large number of persons (strangers) were
present on the occasion. As they generally
conversed in a language which we do not
understand, we did not learn the particulars
of the meeting.
A little son of M.r. G. Hagar, of Millvillo
borough, died very suddenly on Wednesday
night last. He had been at school during
the day, but took sick after going home and
died the same night, leaving a greatly be
reaved family to mourn his loss. The Mill
villo schools, to which he belonged, turned
out to the funeral, and also the German Lu
theran select school, forming a long proces
sion. He was buried in Bandy Vale ceme
tery, at 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon.
Nothing of importance has yet transpired
in court beyond a couple of cases of surety
of the peace in which the plaintiffs had to
pay the costs.
Quite a number of the Eensbure lawvers
and other citizens are here in attendance at
court.
A committee of the Ebensbnrc School
Directors were here looking at the furnace.s
in the Millvillo and Johnstown schools.
They said the KWusburg Directors contem
plate putting furnaces m their fine brick
building.
As this is the week for newspapers to cry
"To the poles," "To the poles!" we had
better stop short and leave room for the cry.
In fact, we have already causht the conta
geon, and join in the cry, "To the poles I"
"To the poles!!" "To the poles!!!"

Th education of little boys who have
passed their fifth year and have iiot entered
tbtr teens is a more important iatk than
most parents imagine, and is attended with
more serkns cifficulty. Their tender minds
between these ages are as pliant as wax, and
are constantly receiving impressions for good
or bad which will forever remain with tbem
through life. The rabject of their education
has ever been almost entirely neglected, and
to this cause, more than any other, can be
traced much of the wickedrjess of youth of
older growth. We are glad to learn that
Rev. Father Cristy, known as a patriotic and
benevolent chaplain in the late Union Army,
has established in a beautiful garden spot of
Ebensburg, Pa., one of the prettiest vilages
of the Allegheny mountains, a boarding
school for little, boy ?, which has just been
thrown open for public patronage. It is in
the charge of several finely educated Sisters
of St. Juseph. who devote their exclusive
attention to the education and moral train
in of the boys entrusted to their keeping.
We look forward to see this yonthful college
expand into importance and bespeak for it
the close attention of those charged with the
responsible duty of rearing, educating and
training boys. Pittsburgh Gazette, SOth vlt.

Thb Altoona Vindicator says that Mr.
Frank Hoover, a resident of this county,
went into the barber shop of Henry Cham
bers in that city, on Friday last, to get bis
hair dyed, when a young colored scamp
named Legrand Davis saturated his head
and face with eonie substance which not only
blackened the skin but burned it off, leaving
Mr. Hoover's face and head in a terrible con
dition. The barler who did the job then
demanded five dollars for his work, and toolt
possession of Mr. U.'s hat because he refused
to hand over the amount.

That goods of all kinds are nearly given away.
Wherever you turn you are sure to be

That the weather is chilly, or the weather is

And whild you feel yourself that such is the

Bat cold or not, this one fact keep ye in mind.
That at Fry's famous store next week you will
find
An abundance of goods no merchant can beat
To keep out the cold and keep in the treat.
No Other Place. There are plenty
of stores at which vou can buy dry goods, gro

place in Northers Cambria at which you can
find a general and complete assortment of bard
ware, woodenware, glassware, tinware, groce

keeps everything in his line of traffic and sells
at as low prices as any dealer in the State.
Whatever you need of th above articles you
can almost invariably buy, and bny right, from
Mr. Hantley.
The Fresr and the Last. The first
and the last we heard from Rowley Davis'
cheap dry goods and grocery store, in the East
Ward, was that it was still doiag a thriving
business, and the last we beard from tbe enter
prising proprietor was that he was in the city
buying a large and beautiful assortment of
goods for his fall nnd winter trade. Go and
see whether his stock haa arrived yet.
Stilt. Absent. Mr. V. S. Barker,
our merchant friend over the way, is still in
in tbe East baying his stock of fall and winter
goods, and judging from the time he takes and
the good taste he possesses, we feel safe in
saying that his stock will not only be a mam
moth but a most superb one. The grand open
ing at Barker's cheap store will doubtless take
place during the present week.

intensely original ; and for us there is where
the charm lies.
It is a work permanently adapted for home

nOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS.
The Boston Traveller says : This Bitters is
very generally used throughout the United
States and Europe, and the Proprietor has
received the most complimentary testimoni
als from thousands who have experienced its
beneficial effects. It is an acknowledged pre
ventive for Cholera, and highly recomtnetid
ed for Debility, Prostration of the System,
Disorders of the Digestive Organs, Liver
Complaints, and numerous other diseases.
The Bitters is not a liquor preparation, con
tains no intoxicating ingredients whatever,
gives tone to the whole system, and is very
carefully prepared by one of the most scien
tific chemists and pharmaceutists in America,
from roots and herbs gathered in Germany.
HOQFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC com
bines the ingredients of the Bitters with pure
Santa Crat Rum, orange, anise, etc. It is
used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in
cases where some Alcoholic Stimulant is ne

the north, the Indians know their uses and
have an abiding faith in them. They say :
"Ayer great medicine cure sick man,"
and his remedies, for the diseases from which
they snffer, will often bring forth their stock
of skins even quicker than wampum, rum,

church at Sand Patch, Somerset county, Pa.,
on Monday, Sept. 27th, by Rev. Father Brown,
Mr. J. A- Kittell, of Ebensburg, and Miss
Katie McCann, of the former place.
We do not know that our conirraiulationa
and best wishes will add aught tor the happiness
of our young friend and whilom brother of the
"stick and rule," but we nevertheless extend to
him the right tST of good fellowship, and
trust that hia "form" has been "locked up"
in tbe V of one who has made a "good im
pression" upon his heart of hearts, and has
"pointed out to him a "plainer" road to earth
ly felicity than would ever been vouchsafed to
him had he continued on in the rugged path of
bachelorhood. We can only hope that heard
his lovinc vounir bride will live lonR and hap
pily together, and should it ever be the "case"
that small caps are required in "putting up"
little "heads." mavhe never know what it is to
"run out of ports" or "set up" anything but a
"clean proof a true "copy" of the " origi
nal. "

DIED
DAWSON. At his residence in Gallitzin
township, three miles from Loretto, on Sunday
last, 3d instant, Jerome Dawson, Esq., aged
about 56 years.
Mr. Dawsou was born in Clearfield (then Al
legheny) township, from whence we presume
he removed with his family to HollidayEburg,
where we knew and many times partook of his
hospitality in our boyhood days. From thence
he returned to the mountain a number of years
ago, and settled in Gallitzin township, the place
of his abode being known as "Dawson's Mill"
In all that we ever knew or learned in regard
to Mr. Dawson, his character for strict inteurity
and honesty of purpose has Blood out in boM
relief. He was a gentleman of unblemished
reputation in all his personal and business asso
ciations, and as a Christian he wan sincere,
steadfast and faithful unto death. None knew
him but to esteem him for bis many virtues,
and his death -cannot fail to cause a widespread
feeling or -deepest sorrow. Peace to his ashes
and rest eternal to his immortal spirit.
BYRNE. In Carroll township, on Sunday,
3d inst., Mrs. Margarkt Byrne, wife of James
Byrne, Esq., aged 51 years.
Mrs. Byrne was a daughter of Emericus Ben

ern Cambria. She had been suffering under a
protracted illness? which was borne with true
Christian fortitude, and was consoled in her
last moments by tbe rites of ti e religion she
so steadfastly and devoutly professed. Her
remains were followed to their last earthly ret
ig place In the Carrolltown -churchyard, on
Tuesday, by a large concourse of sorrowing
relatives od friends. May she rest in peace.

of what is now Clearfield township, in this
connty, nnd was at all times throughout his

your teeth examined every fix months at leist, '
and if there is any decay about them have them
tiled with Crystal Gold and you will never
need artificial teeth. Artificial teeth are a good
substitute, but they do not compare with tbe
natural teeth when in a healthy state.
