Mr. Williams, -uiir r-- i,DSPectors. They are as follows : h. wi, uwen Cu Cunningham : Constable. dge of Election, James Jerry Fagan and Thos Father Lemkk's Doisos. We copy from a late issue of the Elizabeth (X. J.) Mmior the following account of the past and prestnt labors of the venerable Father Lemke, and next wot-k we shall give place to still further extracts from the same paper relative to the g od woik being performed by the Benedic tine Sisters, an order e tablished there under the auspices nf Mr. Lemke. Jt will he le membered that this much beloved priest col lected money in Northern Cambria for the purpose of .bnildiug at his new home, and the article given below will show how faith fulh he has performed that trust. It will also prove interesting to the numerous and earnest frimds of Dr.Lemke in this county : St. Michael's parish, of this city, is blessed wkh a pat-tor whose Id-tory illustrates in a re markable manlier the chances and changes of human life. In the wars that desolated Eu rope in the early part of the century, PuTna Hbnbt Lkmkb served several years with Uis tinction. On leaving the army, he became a theological student, and, after diligent prepa ration, was admitted to the priesthood. For a season he served the church near his old home in Germany ; but seeking a now field of use fulness, he finally settled in Cambria county, Pennsylvania, some thirty-five years ago. . Notes of the arduous labors and wonderful .success of this venerable pastor in the laud of Penn. lie befote me. The details of his settle ment in the dense wilderness, where he finally gathered the largest congregation in Western Pennsylania, surpass in interest the glowing pages of romance. His own hands aided in subduing a forest whose history dated from a former century. He shared in all the harJ ships and privations of the pioneers of civilisa tion, and strengthened laint hearts by active charities and noble words. The wilderness lit erally blossomed around hla footsteps ; while his moral worth convinced all who listened to his inculcations that he was in earuest in seek ing to make his people prosperous and happy. Where, in the year of grace 1 C40, mouareha of the forest waved widely extended branches, a prosperous community have pleasant homes. Carrolltown i3 described as possessing tasteful dwellings, good hotels, thriving merchants and artisans, and is surrounded by as industrious an agricultural population as any town in the commonwealth. One familiar with the mar velous facts he attests, m ikes this remarkable statement: "And all this population, industry and wealth is mainly owing to the energy and real of one man, and that mau Rev. P. H- LlKKE." Testimonials in my posse -s ion set forth, in well chosen word?, the moral worth and amia ble character of a pastor, whom the people of Carrolltown regard ns a public beuefactor. It Is not my purpose to dwell on this inter esting page ot my neighbor's history. Ilia manifold dutiea so "fully engro.3 his thoughts, that he has but little desire to recall the scenes and iucideuts of an eventiul life. One more instance of his efforts to do good, and I shall pass ou to note his present wora : Rev. Mr. LtUKE gathered the first congrega tiou of itoniau Caihoiic Christians in Kansas, for whom he built a church ; but while he was absent in Euioj?, 0:1 busineta. the bolder ruf fians plied the toicb, and the pleasant sanctu ary shared the fate of many atiractive homes. This act of law less men was the means of c'recting the indefatigable missionary to Elizi be h, The congiegaiion of St. Michael were sadi" in need ot a iaithfu minister. They were -w in number, po-se-sed but little wealth, a heuvj debt rested on their property, threat ening ii iorleiture Their church was email, and deaviiute ol ornament. Desirous of being useiut, Mr. Xkm rk cliecmtiiy jieldcl to Bish op BirLEjf's request, and, during the last nine vears, has ia. osed faith! ally to promote the best interests of an im:rt-uut, parish. It is the testimony ol ic part 11 witnesses, that their pastor has earnestly sought to make his peo ple intelligent ciiizeus and devout Christians. But the crowning glory of this eminent pas to. 'a liie remains to be slated : DecJrouaof providing the uieans for erecting a cew house of worship lor his congregation, he has just deeded, lor their benefit, all his es tate as a tree gittl Of the value of this dona tion, some idea may be formed when i state that it includes a large poitionof that hand some plat of ground bounded in part by Spring, Magnolia and liond sireeis. His jgift is a magnificent one, for it iacluttes all his worldly wealth 1 His pleasant home, his money, securities, plats of land, all his property, he has cuurecrutod to holy uses. The humbltst member ot bis tijek is hardly us des titute ot what the world calls valuable posses sions. a the minister whose lile has been checkered by such wondrous vioissstudes. In this teltush uge we rarely hear of men whose virtues make ihTM.r livefl sublime. Many give of their abuudauce and tbe world ap plauds, liut in our midst, greatly beloved by those .ho enjoy nia friendship, we tiud a Chris 1 tian minister devoting his last dollar to the kerice of the Redeemer whose estcelleu'-'ies he loves to proclaim. On the spacious grounds adjoining the home of the Bknkd.cti.nk Sistkks, on Magnolia St., a substantial brick church, lor the use of t. Michael's congtegation, is to be erected at an eai ly day. '1 ne work ot grading will be com menced forthwith. 1 he site is very pleasant, con veuieut of access, and the sacred edifice will soon bo surrounded by the homes of a prosper ous people. The plans of the proposed struct ure allow that the basement is to be arranged for school-rooms. That the munificent denation of their pastor may iucite the congregation to diligence in every good work, una that he may find his re ward iu the approving smiles of the Saviour whom he diligently serves, is the ardent desire of all who aie familiar with the history of his eventful life. Jamks S. Du.xa.it. RKsoLtrrioxs of Condolence. At a meet ing of Highland Division, No. 84, Sous of Temperance, held at tueirllall iu this place, the lollowing resolutions of condolence were adopted : Whereas, Almighty God, !u the dispensation of His all-wise providence, has seen tit to call from his eaithiy probation, to a mansion iu Heaven, our beloved brother, Davio J. Davis. '1 hersfore Resolved, That in the solemn visitation our Division lost a faithfu.' brother, the Sabbath School a devoted and efficient teacher, the church au eminent member, the com si ;nity a valued citizen, bis widow a loving husband, his adopted child a -kind father, and we, his friends, a faithful and untiring co-laborer in tbe Temperance cause. Resolved, That our esteemed brother, by his unitormity consistent life.exemplified the power of Christianity to dignify and ennoble the hu man heart, which gives us the assurance that we "sorrow not as those who have no hope." Resolved, That we tender our condolence and earnest sympathy to his afflicted ana be reaved widow and adopted child, and point them to Him who hath declared himself the God of the widow and father of the fatherless. Resolved, That our charter be draped in mourning lor thirty days. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved widow and friends of the deceased, and that they be published in our town papers. - J.to. J. Etans, lo. J- Etans, i I no. GiTTiNos, v Committee. Vuoa. W. Jones,) T 'The Largest." Oak ITall is always spokeu of as the "Largest Clothing House" in Philadelphia. In fact there is not in the State, nor anywhere In the country, unless it be in New York City, a clothing estab lishment that can compare in size with Wanamarer & Brown's. But that is not the best of it. It were not much to be the largest only, but to be the largest and the best ia a distinction of which our friends at Sixth and Market streets, Philadelphia, may well be proud. The State Normal School, at Edinboro, is the best place for the young people of Western Pennsylvania to obtain an educa tion. Its advantages are surpassed by no .similar institution knowq to iw. JLocal Correspondence. Carbolltown, Oct. 11, 1869. Dear Freeman A young man named Leuman, whose paieuts reside iu this place, met with quite a serious accident last week. He had gone to a wood in the vicinity for the purpose of gathering chest nuts.and while iu the act of climbing a tree, he trusted his weight on a defective limb, which broke and precipitated hitn to the ground, fracturing one of his legs at the hip. Dr. Oatman ad justed the broken bone, and the boy is now doing as well as could be expected, consider ing the painful nature of his injuries. During the early part of last week a lad whoue name I understood to be Leavy, aud whose parents reside near St. Nicholas, in Biacklick township, was kicked in the ab domen by a horse, and his death resulted from the sad occurrence on the following day. There is a tendency among tho most of boys to expose themselves to unnecessary danger with fractious horses, and this uufortunate accident bhoulJ be a warning to them to be more careful in tho future. An enthusiastic democratic meeting was held at Blum'a UaU, in this place, on Satur day evening last, aud was addressed by F. A. Shoemaker and K. L. Johnston, Esqs., of your town. As the long agony will be over before this will be in print, I deem it unne cefsary to particularize the meeting. Your correspondent is engaged in prepar ing some valuable aud interesting reminis cences of the early history of this neighbor hood, as gleaned from tho recollections of several old settlers who have resided in the vicinity for more than half a century, and will eudeavor to have the first of the series ready for publicatioa in your next issue. I have learned that a few, at least, appre ciate my "pen pictures," and express a de sire that I should continue them. Well, all that was mortal of a yet youug roman, whose only regret in severing the ties which bound her to earth was the thought of her little children, who would be bereft of pa rental care, was btrne pat our window, a few days ago, and a funeral Cortege of afflic ted relatives aud sympathizing friends fol lowed to seo her remains consigned to their final resting place. The incident gave rise to thoughts which perhaps may find a re sponse in the hearts of many of your rea ders, and my inclination leads me to write them out as the first chapter in FAMlLlAK SCENES. Some writer has remarked that "every house contains its skeleton," and he might have added that "every home possesses an angel." Talented writers overlook the sim pler home scenes, in which all are interested, and elaborate upon grand themes that only interest the few like the munificent chari ties of many of our wealthy ones, who would bettow thousands where their benevolence would be widely advertised, but would turn aside with a cold sneer from the ragged and starving victim of want who solicits a few pennies for the purpose of purchasing food to keep body and eoul together. Every hearth has its domestic angel ! Per haps the bodily presence has long since min gled with its native dust, but the memory of that angel is still with you constantly, and only disappears when your eyes are closed on earth forever. Need I say that anget is your mother. Mayhap you recall her appearance by looking back to years long goue, when the great world was a sealed bock to you, for you were then in your in nocent childhood, and your world was con fined to the not distant hills where the &un rose or tank to rest at least you thought so then. The long summer days flew dreamily by, and the winter evenings gathered the family group around the old hearth stoDe, but there is one alone, of all that group, whose form and features are indelibly stamp ed upon your memory. With many it may have been but a trifling score of years ago, and though hillocks and tomb-stones inter vene, that mild, placid countenance, and the gentle tones of her voice, seem as real to-day as then. But her mission has long since been fulfilled and dust has been gathered to native dust again. That picture of tha past is and will be with us even until our latest breath, promi nent in the foreground represented in colors grateful and glowing to the memory and we reverentially drop thecUrtin over a scene upon which the pall has long since been laid, but which the funeral of this yonng mother has so vividly recalled to-day. With others, the lapse of years finds a shriveled and almost spectral remnant of a otce round, full form ; a stooping, bent and aged figure, whence the spirit saems loth to depart from scenes which have been hallow e 1 and sanctified by her presence. Her holy adraonisions and wise counsels have guided your youthful footsteps ; you have tried to bi worthy of your pure, dear mother, and hesitate at no sacrifice you could make to smooth the path of her declining years, for you knew that in a little while the grave would rob you of your greatest earthly trea sure. O ! you who are blessed with the living presence of a hearth angel, I hope and pray the picture is not overdrawn in your case. Cherish your mother. Let no vain regrets and useless repinings of neglect, or of the ain you may have caused her, mar j our loving, prayerful thoughts of your dear mother after she has been called home to her reward, and the proudest epitaph that can be inscribed upon your tomb 6tone, after you have rejoined her, will be, "A loving, duti ful and faithful child." Buz Fez. Johnstown, Oct. 12, 1869. Dear Freeman On last Saturday, it is said, a stable was burned to the ground in Prospect borough. Another rumor says it was a house, and still another that it was weeds and other rubbish in a garden. So it is, strange as it is, that news cannot travel a quarter of a mile without sundry discrep encies. A coroner's inquest was held, how ever, which 6oon dispelled all doubts and uncertainties on that score. The verdict of the jury was that a stable belonging to some person unknown was burned with fire until it was a perfect crisp, and that the fire ori ginated by the contact of latent caloric with combustible matter. The election is progressing slowly. Eve rybody is swearing about the radical law which mixes up the fall and spring elections so that nobody understands them.' Clerks cannot be procured who will agree to keap a correct account of the election of some twenty officers out of some forty candidates. That there is a radical trick in this law there is io room for doubt. We hope, however, for the election of a Legislature and a Gov ernor who will send this law "higher nor a kite." Ckestnuts are coming into market plenti fully) but whether the abundant crop was owing to deep or shallow subso plowing has not been made manifest. The Farmers" Club in New York city ought to have this matter decided. A heavy and durable slate roof is now be ing put on the new German Catholic church, the spire of the German Lutheran church is. being covered with slate, the M. E. church is getting heaters put into the basement, and the Disciples' church ia gaining some impor tant accessions ia the wjry of neto members. ' A month ago the Millville schools were supplied with new Spellers and Readers, and , now they are being supplied with new Geo-1 graphics and Arithmetics. Stoddart'a Se ries, Nos. 1, 2 and 3, have beeu introduced. Millville has a go-ahead-tive Board of School Directors. Life insurance and sewing machines seem to occupy miich of the attention of the dear people hereabouts, as there are not less than ten agents in each business canvassing Johns town aud suburbs. We are afraid of them, and unless they soon leave we will swear our Itfe against them. The proceedings of our district court were too meagie to be recorded. A lady teacher was prosecuted for whipping a child, but when the Graud Jury heard the testimony they couldu't find a true bill, and the poor, disconsolate man who bad spunk enough to sue had to go home with tiea in his ear. Court adjourned on Wednesday without transacting much business. Tbe Gregories were here playing in Union Hall, but who the Gregories are is not yet distinctly mauifest. A mau named "Nick," or "Nickle." performed a prodestigitatorial marvel at the Opera House by swallowing several handkerchiefs and so forth. He was patronized because he didn't digest what he swallowed. Frank Rivers doesn't under stand how to get a full house here. 'Cause why, he doesn't admit reporters. I made a slight mistake iu regard to Geo. T. Swank's Directory, having only seen the advance sheets. It contaius upwards of 3.000 names and is a book of over one hun dred pages. To err is human. The absence of a good literary society is serioi sly felt in Johnstown. It is somewhat singular that a place of its sizj cannot afford a good literary society. We hope that some of our citizens who are possessed of minds of somo calibre will get up au institution of this kind worthy of the uame. In looking over the Johustown Directory we see nothing of the kind mentioned, though it contains some three thousand names and a complete direc tory of churches, schools, lodges, court, coun cil, etc., etc. The weather is somewhat fall like chilly but not cold. We have seen snow before the October election as often as twenty times in our comparatively brief history, whereas we have not yet had any frost this season. The grape crop promises to be abundant here. One of our neighbors plucked four bushel? from one viuo, and other viues ap pear as full. There wa3 a republican meeting in Union Hall on Saturday night, and there are two tickets up in our town, but beyond tbis the campaign has been as dull a one as we ever witnessed. Rob Roy. St. Augdstine, Oct. 9. 1869. Dear Freeman After a somewhat pro tracted silence it may not be amiss for me to chronicle a few passing events iu order to let your readers know that 1 am still in the land of the living. We had a rousing democratic meeting here on Saturday evening last. Messrs. Shoema ker aud Johnston were the speakers, and did ample justice to the cause, as indeed they are well able to do. On the same evening our quiet village was illuminated by the cheer lul countenance of your generous correspon dent, "Buz Fuz." who is one of nature's no blemen. The universally expressed hope is that he may come soon agaiu , and so on ad iifiniium. James C. Easly, Esq., and Mr. lliomas Scaulan, of Carrolltown, both tip top gentlemen, paid our.village a brief visit on the same occasion. I saw Mr. F. Hoover, the gentleman who recently dyed in Altoona, and'yet still lives to tell the tale. He says that he wished to present a more youthful appearance than is his wont, on going tc see his mother, so that she would not recognise him, but instead of the improvement sought for he got both his bead and face burned black. His mother would doubtless have mistaken him for an unbleached American, and would have dis owned him. He says he will never dye again if he can help it. If he should, however, it will then'be time enough to say "Peace to his ashes." Tne carpenters are busy just now repair ing the old portion of tbe church edifice heie. They are taking off tho old roof this week, and by the laet of next week a new roof will most likely be on in its stead. Our painter friend, Mr. John A. Mclntyre, is now at work on the new addition recently put to the church. John is the man to do a good job of painting, as is evidenced by his work on the American Hotel, on the dwelling and store of Mr. E. R. Dunegan, and on the res idence of Sir. Chas. Dillon--a!l in this place. A young storekeeper in this village went out a few evenings since, and Peeing some geese in a pond, mistook them for wild ones, no doubt, and shot and killed one of them. He did not recover from his hallucination until the lady who owned the geese informed him that seventy-five cents was the price of tne slaughtered goose, whereupon be banded over the stamps, consoling himself in the meantime with the thought that he got the worth of bis money anyhow. As it is'near election day'I willjclose under Geary's administration, and if he should be re-elected, then good bye forever. Velo C. Pede. Letter from Kansas. Our gallant and much esteemed friend. Capt. Jas. 11. Gage by, writes as follows in contradiction of one or two statements recently made by our Johnstown correspondent in reference to his transfer from the 37th to the 3d Regiment of U. S. Infantry. We give the contents of the Captain's letter in full, except the five dollar "william" which he did us the kind ness to enclose, and for which he has our most sincere thanks, as he ever has had our best wishes. Ft. Lar.vep, Kansas, Oct 4, 18Q9. My Dear M'Pikk I have just received two copies ol the "Freeman," Nos. 32 and 33, Vol. 3. I have not received any papers from you since July 15th, the date of my departure from Ft. Stanton. However, I will receive them regularly now, as we have a mail once a week. Your correspondent "Rob Roy," though no doubt a well meaning gentleman, ia iu error iu his remarks concerning the supposed honor gained in my transfer to the 3d Infantry. The fact that I am retained, and not sent home on "awaiting orders," is simply a certificate that I am fit for active service. A3 regards the du ties being "more responsible' he is likewise in eiror. While at Ft. Stanton we were almost constantly on the war path, scouting for Indi ans, and frequently enjoyed the luxury of a "free fight" with them. At this post we per form none but the usual garrison duties. Our prospect for a trip to Northora Texas is. very good. The Cheyennea tre rather restive and may conclude to lep.ve their reservation, which would give u another winter campaign. Enclosed fiufi a V, which please place to my credit, an continue forwarding your paper as heretofore. Very respect fully, "Your old friend, jAiits H. Gageby, . - Capt., 3d Iclantry.

Pettcnsiill, Bit's & Co., Publishers, 37JPark Row, Nsw York. Baldou's Monthly. This handsomely printed, tastefully illustrated, always enter taiuing and remarkably cheap magazine has already put in its appearance for November, far ahead of all competitors. We look for ward to its coming each month with pleas ant anticipations, for its varied contents al ways an rd us a literary pabulum which we appreciate highly. Those of our friends who wish to enjoy a like pleasure should not fail to enclose $150 to Elliott, Thomes & Tal bot, Boston, which will secure for them this model magazine for an entire year. Thk Proof Sheet is a handsomely print ed and ably conducted little pamphlet issued each month from the extensive type foundiy of Messrs Collins & McLeester, Philadelphia, and they certainly have no. reason to be ashamed of its typography or the beautiful specimens of type of their own manufacture displayed in its pages. The talented Geo. II. Mundy, a poetic and prose writer of em inent ability, is its editor, and our young friend L. M. Meyer is his assistant. The subscription price of the "Proof Sheet" is only one dollar per year. Johsstv)vn Direct ry. We acknowl edge tbe receipt of a copy of Mr. George T. Swank's "General and Business Directory of Johnstown and Suburbs," but as yet have only had time to admire its typographical excellence aud general arrangement. It is certainly a credit to the mechanical skill and business enterprise of Mr. Swank, and at the low price of fifty cents per copy it should meet with an extensive sale. We may have more to ay about it when time permits an examination of its conteuts. Tonsorial. It is perhaps superfluous to recommend any man to whose business or occupation there is no competition ; still we feel that our barber friend, Abram Blaine, who by industry, energy and exemplary con duct has won the respect of all classes, is not uu worthy of a few words of encouragement. Mr. Blaine is an experienced barber, as all persons know who know him at all, and un der his hands his customers are always sure to obtain a clean shave, a neat hair trim ming, or an invigorating shampooing. IPs young assistant, too, is a careful and profi cient "knight of the razor." and between the two there is no doubt of being attended to promptly and satisfactorily at all times. Mr. Blaine deserves well of our citizens, and we hope to see him patronized even more liberally in the future than he has been in the past.
