Dear Freeman A man named Conrail
Hoff was killed on Saturday about ten
o'clock, in the Sixth Ward, by the caving
in of a bank of earth. He was digging be
low, and about a cart load of dirt came
down suddenly, threw him down and cover
ed him up, and liefore relief came he was
suffocated. J. A. Harrold. Esq , held an in
quest over the body of the deceased at two
o'clock, after which he was removed to the
reldeace of his family id Hotnerstown.
l(CrOUS M KS1GOT & GAUVER.
The gentlemen have been stopping at
the Foster House for n.niie time past, and in
tend to visit Ebensburg about the 25th inst.,
to remain ten or fifteen days. It is proper
to apprise your readers of this fact, as they
have been eminently succestful here in curing
diseases. Dr. M'Knight's speciality is con-
sumption, with all tl e ailments that lead to
it, such as colds, catarrh, brouchitis, asthma,
and the like. Dr. Gaiver is a Philadelphia
surgeon of great ability, and operates on
contracted cords, eyes, ears, and other or
gans. Both are perfect gentlemen and both
have been successful here. We are not at
liberty to mention people's names, but we
could refer to many who have been benefited
by their treatment. Those in your section
who suffer with auy chronic diseases should
call upon them when they go to Ebensburg.
BASE BALL.
The Athletic Club of Philadelphia visited
our town on Saturday and played the
"Kicks" of this place or rather played with
them, for the "Kicks" had no show at all.
In fact, they do not practice any, while the
Athletics practice daily. Nor did they play
with the expectation of winning the game,
as some suppose, but just to see the Ath
letics play, who are indeed good players.
They were on their way to Cincinnati to give
the Red Stockings, who are about a match
for them if not a little more so, another clip.
The following essay which was written for
the Literary Society here will throw some
light on the subject of base ball and is quite
uprojfoa here.

AUTCMN.
A feeling of sadness overwhelms the ob
servant mind whn the season of the yellow
leaves comes gradually on. The rustling
leaf seems like the foot falls of an appari
tion. and the smoke of the Indian summer
transforms the world into a sombre and
melancholy dreamland As the darkness of
Egypt could be felt, so the fading landscape
induces a melancholy that is tangible. The
symbol of camate decay brought the Vtrj'
feelings and sensationsof decay with.it. But
whv write about Autumn? The poet said
all that can be said when he called the days
of Autumn "The saddest of the year."
hob hot.
The Captain of t he 3d Infantry is too se
vere on Bob Boy. If we remember rightly,
we said it was a change without a promo
tion, but the change to a garrison showed
that his superior c.flicers had confidence in
him. At any rate the error, if any, was of
the head and not of the heart, as he knows
full well that Bob Roy would not put a straw
in the way cf his success. Glad he takes
the paper.
A SHRKNAPE.
Rob R y was serenaded on last Saturday
night. He woke up about two o'clock on
r i - I
Suuday morning, which was Saturday night, t
and whs pleased to hear sweet, discordant
strains floating on the ambient air, like com
mingled sou mis of a (lute, flutina, jewsharp,
bass viol, tamborine, and several accoidious.
He arose to tell them that he had a bottle of
i vinegar in the house, but upon raising the
window, he saw about a dozen of cats
j scrambling over the fence for dear life. The
j scene recalled these beautiful lines :
"For never did the listening ir
j Upon its amb'eut boom bear"
So coarse a thrill of screeching sounds.
MR. PEUSniNG. ' '
A telegram was sent over the wireB to
Johustown, signed by one Mr. Jos. II. Man,
to the effect that Geary and Williams were
elected and adding, "llvtc i Mr. Persh
ing?" We do not know whether it was
Jlan-y in that gentleman to ask such n
question, but we can assure him that Mr.
Pershing never wis better in his life. Mr.
Pershing never sought the office, and while
his election would have honored the State, it
could not have honored him more than ho is
already houored. However, as the gieat
Webster once said, "The missile, though
hurled with malice, will fall harmlessly at
his feet." When Alexander the Great con
quered Poros he treated him "like a King,"
restoring his don i m ion. i and adding much
new tnrritnrv. He nnssessed the atrrihutA

THE ELECTION.
If the workings of the new election law
proves anything, it proves that the Repub
licans were more corrupt in colonizing voters
than the Democrats. There is a great fall
ing off in their votes, not only iu individual
districts, but iu the entire mate, mill we
do not thiuk that the result proves coloniza
tion at all. Hie people are becoming used
to being ruled and taxed, tnd they take but
little interest in elections.
Yours, &c, Rob Roy..
Altoona Citt, Oct. 18, 1809.
Dear Freeman It is my painful duty this
week to chronicle the death of a most esti-
in tbe 21st year of his age. It is with no
ordinary feelings of regret that I record the
early demise of Ibis talented and worthy
young man. Many pleasant moments have
I speut in his company, and our mutual in
tercourse taught me to appreciate him for
his kind and generous impalses, for his en
nobling virtues, and for the many feigh-toued
qualities of miad and heart with which be
was so liberally endowed. As a son he was
devoted and obedient to his fond and loving
parents, as a companion be was always so
ciable, agreeable and entertaining, and as
an exemplar to his young associates he was
without spot or blemish. He chose the law
as a profession, and under the tuition of those
able practitioners, Messrs. Hall & Neff, so
rapidly did he advance in his studies that at
the ensuing term of our county court he
would have been admitted to the bar. His
future gave promise of a most brilliant ca
reer, and there is no doubt that had he lived
to enter upon the duties of his profession he
would ere long hare woo his way to a lucra
tive practice, for he gave unmitUkable evi
dence of rare intellectual endowments, tho'
never boastfully displayed, which would
have eventually placed him. had and All
Wise Providence permitted him to continue
his labors, in the front rank of bis profession
one of the ablest among the able lawyers
in this his cLoecu field of prufussioual duty, '
' His bereaved and dotins parents, who kent
watch and ward at his bedside during the
three weeks that he lay prostrated by ty
phoid lever in its most malignant form, can
find a holy consolation in the thought that
one so wise, so good, so pure and so generous
in his eaithly career, can have relinquished
it only to pursue a higher and more perfect
I destiny in that blessed immortality to which
I doubt not he has been summoned. Tt.at
ur young friend Was held in high esteem
by the citizens of this city was evidenced by
, tne large concourse of people who assisted
at his Itinera! nb quies, and who accompa
nied his mortal remains to their last earthly
resting place in the Catholic churchyard at
Loretto. To his deeply afflicted family the
sincere sympathies of all who knew and ap
preciated the lamented deceased are prayer
fully extended, and to those stricken ones
I would say,
But why lament the hard decree T
'Tis God who took him to Bis love ;
, Be called him for eternity
To Bis celestial home above.
Then weep not, father, o'er thv son ;
Mother, thy tears are all in vain ;
Brother and sisters, one by one,
Ere long he'll meet you all again.
Peace to his ashes and a life of unending fe
licity to his immortal spirit.
Politics have become so sadly demoralized
and mixed up that I do not feel that any
thing 1 could say would ssrve to pour oil
upon the troubled waters. - The less we have
of politics, as conducted in some localities,
the better for the people. I shall endeavor
to bear my share of the unexpected but not
irretrievable defeat which has overwhelmed
the democracy, in the State as well as in our
municipal election, as philosophically as pos
sible, and hoping that every democrat will
do the same, 1 dismiss the subject without
indulging in recrimination or vain regrets.
The '"Viggie" boys are making extensive
preparations for their proposed Fair, which
js to be inaugurated on the first of Novem
ber. They have built a wigwam 45 feet
wide by 110 leet long, in which they design
holding the festival, and the preliminary ar
rangements give promise of a most brilliant
and successful fete. May it prove a pleasaut
affair and pay a heavy dividend.
Bight Rev. T. Mullen, Bishop of Erie, de
livered a most eloquent and able discourse
in St. John's (Catholic) church, in this city,
on Friday night last.
A carpenter in the employ of the Compa
ny named Dvid Wike was considerably in
jured, on Saturday week, by falling from a
scaffolding upou which he was at, work in

The Fast Line going east on Monday last,
owing to the displacement of a switch a half
mile east of our city, ran in on a side track
and etruck a train loaded with pig iron, and
though, strange to say, no person was iu-
Mured, the locomotive was completely demor-
a ;zed and the front baggagecar badly broken.
That peculiar epidemic which always pre
vails most extensively at this season of the

Fiknd Mac I owe you an apology for my
delay in complying with your request to con
tribute an occasional letter to the columns of
your valuable paper. You will please excuse
me for the following reasons : First, a lack of
interesting local news, and, second, the falling
off iu the democratic vote at the late electioc
so abashed me that I hesitated to communicate
the tesult. I account for the falling ofTiu our
vote, by the decease of several democrats, the
illness of others, and the ubfence of still others,
who doubtless voted elsewhere. As you will
doubtless publish the official vote of the coun
ty, I deem it unnecensiry to enter into a detail
ed figuring up of the losses in this township as
compared with our vote of last year.
The officers chosen for Summerhill township
are ns follows : Constable. Win. Flynn ; Su
pervisors. Mich'l Gntz and Valentine Cramer ;
Justice of the Peace, Henry Walter, Republi
can; Judge of Election, Michatl Braniff ; In
spectors, Martin P.Pringle, l'eter Burtneit, R.;
School Directors, Jese B. Dimoi-d, John Bor
der and Martin Ward; Auditor. Thog. M'Con
nell : Township Clerk, James Burk.
. I could give yoa the names of the officers
elected in Wil more borough, but as your for
mer correspondent, "Chip," &c, has returned
and taken upon winter quarters, I will not en
croach upon the local rights of others.
A considerable amount of sickness has pre
vailed iu this locality during the pant few
weeks, but the indications now are, I am glad
to say, that it is abating.
We had a wedding in this vicinity last week,
and several others are said to be on the tapris,
if you know where that is. The occasion re
ferred to is tbe first time old Hymen has bad
a chance to "go in and get squeezed" for many
a day in this neck o' timber."
I will not trouble you with a lengthy epistle
at present, as I presume your paper will be
crowded this week. Iu the early future, per
haps, I will renew my correspondence, if I can
find anything ot interest to your readers ; pro
vided, however, they will overlook all defects
consequent upon my inexperience.
As your coi respondents are so numerous it is
difficult to find a "nom de guerre" not already
in use, but nevertheless 1 have selected oue
appropriate to my state of life. Solteco.
Two Things. To make home happy,
comfortable and cheery during the approaching
winter, we think two of the most important
adjuncts are a Speer's Anti-Dust Beating Stove
and a Par ham Sewing Machine, both of which
articles can be bought, and bought cheap all
the time, at Geo, Burnley's mammoth house
furnishing emporium, where goods without
number are constantly kept for sale. The Par
lam machine took the first premium at the re
cent Suite Fair, aud has no superior.
Ocr Advejitisiko Colcmxs. Read our
advertisements. They are not so dull and
uninteresting as you think them, and you
may often in them stnmbVe over something
to your advantage ; at any rate, read tbe one
inserted for Wanamaker & Brown, and soe
if it does not persuade you that Oak Uali,
Philadelphia, is the place where you should
buy your Fall suit.
The falling snow and chill winds that
blow gives us all to know that winter is com
ing to come ; so if good sense we'd show, at
once we should go to Shoemaker &. Co., and
buy winter goods, some. A very large stock,
a very select stock, and a very cheap stock, is
what they brag on at Shoemaker's big store.
Not Noisy. Kowley Davis don't make
much noise in tbe East Ward, but wa are as
sured that he still continues to sell goods at
the lowest prices prevailing in market. Bis

Mr. B. risked , his muscle on Packer and
lost. Lxkers-on eofiyed the Jun, but we
doubt whether the rider did. as it was a
rough passage, through mud coming and
over curb stoucs , and broka pavemcDts
going.
We were led into error by common ru
mor last week in regard to the death of Mr.
Daniel T. Jones. He was not found lying
on the road on Tuesday, as we stated, but
on Wednesday, having left his houte, appa
rently in his usual health, only about half
an hour previous to the time at which his
lifeless body was discovered lying on the
road near his residence. We make this cor
rection cheerfully, as our former statement
might have led to uncharitable inU-rjuces in
regard to his death, and such an inteution
was far from our thoughts.

Base Ball Gank Kxtraobhisakt.
The greatest sensation that has yet been pro
duced in base ball circles in this vicinity,
was occasioned by a match game, on Friday
last, between tbe renown d Athletic Club of
Philadelphia and the M.untnioeer Club of
this place.' The Athletics were on their way
to Cincinnati to play the return game on
Monday with the famous "Red Stockings,"
(who by the way beat them five scores in a
sharply contested game of olI' two hours
and ten minutes' duration, the score stand
ing 17 to 12,) and "put iu" here to indulge
in a little preparatory practice with our
boys. The Mountaineers did better than
they hope3 to do, but not as well as they
cau do, making a score of 12 in even in
nings, while the "Kicks," of Johnstown,
made only a score of 8 to 49 for the Ath
letics in nine innings on the day following.
We give the full particulars of the game
played here :

What is Faith ? Faith is the aa?ent
of the mind to a given proposition. There are
different things to believe, but there is oidy one
faith, and that faith is to believe that Murphy
& Co., Houston Hoine, Main street, Johns
town, sell good and cheap dry yoods nd dress
goods. Seeing is believing and buying from
them is the right thing. A number of obliging
clerks nre always in attendance, ami the great
varietv of goods contained iu the "City Cash
Store" always gives customers a double chance
to please their tastes in all particulars.
Notiiixg New. Glass was dug tip at
ancient Niuevnh. and Dr. Franklin's remains
were found, and Solomon's ships navigated the
Red Sea and Suez Canal, and Leopold ii Bro.,
No. 241 Main street, Johnstown, have a new
stock of new clothing. That's something new.
but it is nothing new for there to have new
goods. The goods are new, but the news isu t
new. We will get light after awhile. The
best and cheapest made up clothing in town,
and suits to suit any body made to order.
Uotii Good asb Chkai. The boa9t
of our grocer friend, M. L O.ttmaa, is that he
cot only wakes a speciality of flour, groceries
and provisions, but be keeps the largest stock
in Northern Cambria, bays ofteuer and there
fore has fresher articles, sells wore beciuse
he sells cheaper than any other dealer, and al
ways, gives entire satisfaction to his customers.
Patronize him aud you will save money.
Found. One of the most valuable
prizes was found last week in Johnstowu thnt
men generally read about. A strauger came
to towu, and as he was passing up Main street
he found L. Cohen k Brother's store door, No.
214, Opera House, through which he glided
and rigged himself from top to toe in one of
the nicest suits that this or any other market
affords. Hundreds are doing the same thing.
.."New Comk!" We paw handbills
posted around Johnstowu headed with the words
"New Come !" which mean that Jao. J Mur
phy's nvide up clothing has come and he is now
ready for the fall trade. He sells at No 1U!I
Clinton utreet, where he takes pleasure an I a
Yery small raodicum of greenbacks in fitting
his customers with ready made garments for
men and boya.
Axotiikk Tcstiii E. I p M V cr's
goods have taken ai. other tumble. Indeed
thy are tumbling oft' his shelves every day.
It is truly a-tonislnng to Be the amount of dry
goods carried away from No 212 Main street,
Johnstown. Hia French goods please every
body, and his large stock is so admirabiv adapt
d to the season that all one has to do ia to car
ry tlifm home and put them on. Splendid
winter hats, bonnets and feathers.
Ijps and Downs. Tbeupa and downs
of life are exemplified in every man's experi
ence, but to see the ups and downs of a fine
stock of fall goods you should go to V. S.
Barker cheap store, wlie: e the fine superb as
sortment he put tip on his shelve is be'.ng ta
ken down constantly to accommodate bis many
customers. In his prices all is down down to
the loneri uiar-'iu.
Wb advise all 3'ourg people who int-nd
going from heme to nohool, to go to the
Statb Noumal School at Kdinboro. It is
cheap, thorough and practical.
