During a visit to Johnstown last summer we became acquain ted with "old Joho'Weakland." as be is fa miliarly called, who is certainly one of the moot remarkable men of his age in this sec tion of the State. His father, Zepheniah Weaklaud, then an unmarried man. came from St. Maty's county, on the Eastern ; snore oi Maryland, btlore the close ol the revolution, and settled on Spruce Creek, then in Bedford fnow Huntingdon) county, about eight miles from Huntingdon. There John Weakland was born in 1794 three years before the erection of Huntingdon county out of Bedford. Iu 1808 his father moved from Spruce Creek to this county, and built a log cabin near to where Daniel O'Hara then aud his hon Henry O'Uaia now resides, about one mile east of the present town of Miid ster, that "loveliest village of the plain." Thomas Durbin. father of Ex-Sheriff Dur bin of this county, was then liviag where Munnter is now situated, and kept a tavern. Alexander Trcxell, whose name is associated with the old Trt xell tavern, one-f-urth of a mile west of Cresuon, had not then located at that point. When Mr. Weakland's father moved to this cour.ty the only peons tlun living near where Mucxter now stands were Daniel O' Hara, Joseph Lilly. James Elder and Pat'k Carney, all of bom are now dead. In 1799. nine years before the time of which we are speaking, the distinguished priest. Dr. Gal litzin. renouncing his piincely title and es tate in Russia, had settled on a tract ef land where Lore t to is now located, and had erect ed a large and Fuht-tantial frame Catholic church, which is still standing. In addition to ministering to the spiritual wants of the few settlors, Mr. W. informed us that the good priest had erected a potash factory, the product of which was takes to market at Baltimore or Philadelphia by Thos. Durbin, (previously referred to,) iu a large, old-fashioned covered wagon. Several years after his settlement in this county, Mr. VVeakland's father removed to Mahouiug township, Indiana county, about twenty miles north of the town of Indiana, but subsequently returned to Cambria and took up bis residence in Johnstown in 1832. lie afterwards removed to Susquehanna township, was married to his third wife when be was several years beyond three score and ten, had one or two children, and died in 1849, when he was between ninety aud one buudred years of age. John Weak land, the subject of this notice, was married iu 1833, wheu he was 49 years old, and had three children, two sons and one daughter. His wife died in 1853. In 1801, when he was 77 years old, he married a tecond time and had three children all bovs one of whom, it will be remembered we mentioned I a few weeks ago. was kicked in the face by a horse, causing his death. Mr. W. has an only brother. (Michael,) quite an old man, living in Sn-quehanna township. The Weaklands of Cambria county are almost legion, anil are thickly scattered over the townships of Carroll, Susquehanna aud I Uearneld. lhey are a long-lived race of men Wm. Weakland. a brother of Zephe niah, the father of the mlj'-ct of this notice, having died near Loretto, five years ago. at the advanced age of about 83 years. John Weakland. although he has lived far beyond the period usually allotted to men here be low, is a sprightly, active and vigorous old man. and looks as though he might yet. as we hope he will, be many years in the land. Official Change. Yestentaj, the 1st inst.. witnessed a chaage in th3 oflice of 1'ejiipter and Recorder James Griffin, Ksq., alter serving two terms, or fix years iu all, retiring, and Geo. W. Oatmao, Etq-, the newly elected incumbent, taking chaige of the office. Never, jierhaps, since the forma tion of Cambria county, had any public offi cer more acceptably fulfilled the duties of any position of public trust within its boun daries thai) has Mr. Griffin that of Register and Recorder. He has throughout both terms proven a faithful, accommodating, in telligent and urbane ulcer, aud while we belitve iu the rule of rotation iu oflice, we exptess the opinion of all when we say that no man has ever proven himself more wor thy than Mr. Griffin to be continued unin terruptedly iu the performance of those du'ies lor which nature and cducatiou have so well fitted hiui. Mr. Oatman will prove a cjm- j petent aud popular successor, and cannot ; fail to give eutire satisfaction. Mi. James ! G. Hasson, an expert penman aud intelli gent gentleman, iu to act. we are told, as his deputy iu the clerical duties of the oflice. What Mr. Griffin's iu tent ion for the future are we do not know, but hope he will pros per abundantly, uo matter what he may turn his attention to. Until after Curt, at least, he will remain here, and wishes those who have not yet lifted their deeds, or who owe him for other work, to make it suit to call on him before the expiration of that time. More Nice Pbksknts. We do not know whether stove and tinware dealers possess more of the milk of human kindness than other mortals, or whether they appreciate more highly than other business iiiou the virtues of printer's ink, but certaiu it is that we iiave already received several desirable presents from deaVrsof that ilk, aud the end does not seem to be yet. We have this week to acknowledge the receipt of two more very useful articles a handsome Brittania ware teapot and a soap-stone cake griddle. The former was t-ent us by our generous-hearted youug friend, Geo. W. Yeager. of Altoona. who ii not only one of the best fellows social ly on this mundane sphere, but is one of the most, popular, progressive and successful busiuess men in the enterprising young city of Altoona all the result of energy, indus try, attention to business and fair and hon est dealing. Thank you, George, and may you soon have some one to preside over a teapotof like beauty and proportions at your own table and beneath your own roof-tree. The griddle comes to ut from our enter prising friend over the way, Mr. Geo. Hunt ley, who is just now for the first time intro ducing these useful articles in this market. Everybody appreciates hot cakes, and as the healthiest and most palatable can be baked upon these soap stone griddles, no culinary department ehotild be considered complete without one. Mr. Huntley his them of all sizes, to suit large and small families. Oua Sidewalks. In most towns the size of oar own there is a Borough Ordinance which requires the owners and tenants of property, after a fall of snow, to remove it from the sidewalk of the premises occupied by them within a given time. Such ought to be the law here. After a snow storm and adrift the pavements in many places are almost impassable. In the Spring when the accumulated snow, through successive thaw ing and freezing, becomes solid ice, -locomotion is attended with many perils and some times accideuts. The sidewalks along the whole length of High street, including the one in front of our own office, and from High street to the Academy, ought, at least, to be kept clear of snow. We commend this subject to the considerate attention of the Town Council, and hope they will take action in-the matter. Wo will remove the snow from our sidewalk vhen xce know ice Local Correspondence. Johnstown, Nov. 29, 18C9. Dear Freeman Your types sometimes make queer mistakes. We said "gentleman ly bearing." and they made "gentlemanly learning." We said "snarling Diogenes." Your type made it "snorting Diogenos." We do not write a very plain hand, but we would like the type to go according to the sense, whether the writing is plain or other wise. Still, your type are no worse than those of your neighbors. For instance, the Johnstown Tribune, in an article on the Suez canal, speaks of the Read Sea, which we are sure was never so written by the editor. We are pleased with the af resaid editor's views of thanksgiving, which day he con siders played out. We think so .too. At least we hope that Christmas will be ob- j served more solemnly thau thanksgiving uay was. There is a difference of opinion here about our theatres, which have been running mid dling regularly of late. One performance each week iu each theatre will cost the town $10,000 per year, twice a week $20,000 and three times a week $30,000. This money, it is alleged, could be baiter appropriated. It tends to impoverish the place, etc. On the other hand, it is argued that most of this money is left in town some for rent, some for license, and some at the hotels, etc. We think the question about as broad as it is long. People who go to theatres, generally speaking, have money, nnd if they would not spend it here they would somewheie else, and for something else. We do know, more over, that much of the money is left among us, at the hotels ond other places. There seems to be some" danger of a flurry with Spa n. Ttax-payers hereabouts think an effort ought to be made to pay off the old "nigger" debt before we voluntarily contract a new "nigger" debt. What is free Cuba to us? Free tax-payers would sound better. Now that the common schools are all open, it would ba a good time to make a suggestion or two. Let every scholar in arithmetic turn his knowledge of that branch to practice. Let bim count the area of tracts of land the number of plank in a house the number of perch of stone in a cellar wall tho number of shingles in a roof the number of feet of lumber in a saw log the number of cubic yards in a certain excavation the size of a fifty-six weight, made of metal the length of a beam in stcelj'ards the number of solid feet, or bushels, in a coal vtin, f to. In grammar, instead of diagrams, let him parse anil con struct. Let each pupil write a letter every day tin a slate or paper, punctuate it cor rectly, spell the words right, and use the capital letters properly. Let each one learn to transpose sentences, and j'idge, nnd de cide which form of the s-entence, so trans posed, is the most euphonecus. Let each study the difference between literal and fig urative languages, and also how to condense or amplify'a certain given theme, or subject. We fi'el assured that ten times as much could be learned in one winter by dint of practice than can ever be learned conning over old, dry, tasteless definitions and un meaning rules. Let the children of one family, or of neighboring families, meet at night and learn to spell the names of every tree, bast, bird. Jish, county, state, etc., and present their labor to the teacher Dext morning for correction. Let them also count fore bills, write tctidue notices, and the like, and present them in like manner for correction. Be sure that improvement depends upr w such efforts on the part of the pupil. No teacher can thkk for the pupil. Then let every parent subscribe for the Freeman, or some other county paper, and let the children read it and improve these hints as to how they should improve these long winter nights. Take a county paper. Children would always rather read the home news. What are five cents a week, or $2.00 a year, compared with the benefit the little folks wi l derive from reading a newspaper? Do not be stingy with the printer, lie is a noble fellow. He works hard. He sets up ju.-t one letter at a time, yet he fills columns every week all for the bent fit of the peo ple, especially the young people. Help him along. His labor is useful. He pub lishes tho county news, the court trials; the county audits, and ther important matters ; niarria"es and deaths of friends and neigh bors; thefts, robberies and murders find a place iu the paper. Items tf news from every portion of the county, and ju.-t such i'ems as young folks like to read, fill the columns of a country paper. Then put it within reach of the young folks at home. The times have been demoralized here by Thanksgiving day, ; aid are gettins tight. Money is tight, collections are tight, con tracts are tight, and even buMne.-s is tight. Still there is hope that the panic may blow over. The year 1870 will soon arrive, crowned with golden hopes and laden with rich presents. Let us all hope for the best Congress will soon meet, and the Legisla tures of the different States, and if no other good is done by such meeting, it will 'bring all the rogues together, and thus purify so ciety. While these bodies"are deliberating on the temporal affairs of the people, the great (Ecumenical Council will meet early in December, at Rome, to take into considera tion their spiritual welfare. This will be an important meeting and everybody should subscribe for a paper just to read the result of this extraordinary meeting. Then the Teacher's Institute'will meet at Ebeusburg soon after, though a much infe rior body in intellect, yet very useful in its sphere, and the people will want to read the proceedings of their meeting. So it is our deliberate judgment that every head of a family should take a paper and pay for it, just to learn what is going on. Rob Roy. Cabrolltown, Nov. 29. 18C9. Dear Freeman I nwticed s few weeks ago the fact of a young lad named Laytnur having fractured his leg at the hip, by a fall from a chestnut tree. He was able to move about again, but on Friday last, while in the act of walking across the room, he was attacked with a sudden dizziness, and falling to the floor re-fractured the earn limb. One oi your Chest township subscribers, Mr. John Lantzy, succeeded in killing a monster she-bear, in the vicinity of his resi dence, a few days ago. Mr. L. is a veteran hunter, and perhaps the most successful in Northern Cambria. Our citizens are laboring under the Incon venience of a great scarcity of water. The majority of wells in towc have completely "dried up," and a considerable 'number of residents are compelled to drink beer ss a substitute for this very necessary fluid. Whether the. extraordinary drought is owing to a combination between the clerk who superintends the celestial water-sprinkler, and the lager beer brewers, I am not pre pared to say. If this terrible state of affiairs extends to the cities there will be a financial cratih among the milk sellers. Our ball on thanksgiving night was a success, and apropos to this subject it might not be amiss to devote a few remarks to the very observable difference between city balls and COUNTRY DANCES In the city whether under the name of V-'irc," " "grand Irp," or whatever other name may be given, if you happen to be present and are of a contem plative mind, ycu can spare an hour to good advantage by observing the various charac ters who assemble under the vain delusion that they have come f jr and will succeed iu enjoying themselves. Faultlissly attired females, counterparts of the brass-headed and wire-bodied stands used ic the shops of modistes, for the display of finery, will be found in profus ion, with the single exception that the formernire filled up with flesh and blood and endowed with motion. The gents, in "stunning" attire, hover around these butterflies of fashiun, and as the dulcet strains of the band of accomplished musi cians strike up a quadiillo you are di gust ed with the manner in which they bow, and scrape, and in constrained conventional lan guage solicit the hands of walking milliner shops for the pleasure of not dancing, but languidly moving through th sett. Then comes refieshmeuts ; iced creams, corofits and cakes are passed around, and as if by' universal consent the. dancing is at au end and the real business of theeveuiug flirta tion commences. Tired and disgusted they seek their several homes, and in their heart of hearts must acknowledge that instead of enj lymcnt they've only experienced misery. Turn we now to the Country frolic. No coming late here fo" the purpose of creating a sensation by au elaborate toilet, and no rougtd cheeks or powdered faces. Clear and lively complexions, nnd sparkling eyes brimful of pleasure and mischief meet you at every turn. And the young men, dress ed though they may be in homespun, are, the prototypes of all that can be manly, and though they treat the girls with all the def erence and attentirtn imaginable, yet there is no mock courtesy. All present enter into the spirit which induced them to assemble, and familiar old tunes which arc wrenched from a' cracked violin by the favorite village player is the signal fir the commencement of the dance. There is no ceremony here; each takes charge of his intended partner, and setts are speedily arranged. Such dan cing as then takes place-! None of your lazy, languid shoving through the figures, but regular downright dancing, which keeps time to the music f the crazy old fl idle and which is the very poetry of the business. A glass of beer or lemonade and a fow crack ers, the latter munched at intervals during the dance is all the refreshments r quired, and as the early dawn is creeping athwart the hrr:z"n the benns secure their affinities and with gleeful shouts or resounding laugh ter they separate, enly hoping that tho next frolic may come soon. Such is Ihe ''village dance," and your readers who have failed to be present at such a gathering have in deed mitsed a rare treat. Bt z Fez. SriiMKiiHii.L, Twp., Nov. 29, 18C9. Friend Mac Since my last epistle scarco ly anything of importance has -C(urred with wl Lh to fo: m a local. However, having seen by your late papers that the Chairman of the Democratic County Cc mm it tee has called a meeting of the members of that body to take into consideration the proprie ty of submitting to the decisions of the Dem ocratic voteisof this county, the question of changing the present mode of nominating candidates for the various county officers, I thought it appropriate to give a synopsis of the opinions of very many voters ia this part of the county : In the first place they speak of the existence of a "Ring," whose object it is to supply candidates suitable to the objects of the members of the "Ring" aud they complain that the present mode is peculiarly adapted to the forwarding of the interests of said "Ring" of the facilities it affords for the corruption of deh-gates. They scout the thtory that a man whom they look upon as unworthy cr unfit is nominated by the Convention, they are bound to support him And, it you take notice, the returns of the recent election indicative plainly the content of w.iich I speak, not only here but other localities in the county. The general impressiou In this locality is that the mode of nominating ought to be changed, and a great many favor tho adoption of the "Craw ford County System. Now, taking into consideration the im portance of harmonizing the party as well as placing iu n- rninatiou the moist available and popular candidates, 1 suggest to the Committee to present to tho peopie the sev eral modes of nominating, with the view of obtaining the choice of whichever plan a majority of the Democratic voters may de cide to be the best in their opinion. Yours, Reforruatirally, Soi.tero. Johnstown, Dec. 1, 1869. Dear Freeman The year wanes apace. and the record of another month will close that of the year. The long winter evenings have come, and the wild storms hold carni val without. Now close the shutters ond stir the bright fire. Call home the errant boy from ti e streets briDg out the stand with its burthen of books, maps and roiuic let the pure stream of intellectual enjoy ment How brightly.

Thus, while the storms interfere wi'h ont-door work, should the priceless hours be employed in gaining knowledge and preparing for the future a store of cor rect habits. The mouth just closed has been remarka ble almost unprecedented iu it vigors. Rain fall, 3. Co iuches ; snow, 1G.5 inches. Average temperature, 35 degrees. Maxi mum on the 5:h of 56 degrees. Minimum on the 25th of 11 degrees. Average tem perature of November, 18C8. 42 degrees; maximum on the 9th of 66 degrees, miui mum on the 24th of 21 degrees. It will thus be seen that the average temperature of November for this year is seven degrees below that of latt yoar, and the lowest range of the mercury ten degrees below that of last year. The closing days of the mouth, however, give indication of milder weather, and we may have an extreme on the other sid6 this mouth. W. L. A. We take it for granted that by this time all o'lr patrons have visited Philadelphia, and atteuded the gret sale now :n progress at the great Oak Hall Buildings of Wana maker & Brown. All whom we have met with have expressed their surprise and grat ification at the rare bargains they were able to effect there. Any man will miss it who lets this chance blip, and any mother will miss it who does not see to it that "the boys" are well provided for in this emergency. Fimjr Ann Feed.
