Col. James M. Swank haa disposed of the Johnstown Tribune to hi brother, Mr. Geo. T. Swank, who has mechanical and intellectual ability enough to maintain the deserved teputation of that journal. Col. Swank was certainly an able editor and an honorable political foeinau, and we hope he. will find some employment more congenial to his tastes and less fatal to his somewhat impaired health than periains to the trying duties cf a newspaper editor. The other Swank has our best wishes for his pocui.itry micccss and political defeat. Our ingenious friend, Mr. Peter Campbell, of Carrolltown, advertiscB two very useful patents or his own invention in our paper to day. His improved bee hive, for which he offers territory for sale, is certainly the most perfect invention of the kind that has ever been introduced, and as there is a widespread di tnand for such a iislul article, we see no reason why Mr. Campbell should not dis pose of very foot of territory in the United States. In the hands of rnergetic men the Improved lieo Ilivu cannot fail to become a paying institution. Jiei.d advcrlisrtu nt.

Surveyoi General Campbell has our thanks for a copy of his Annual Report for 1870 the moat valuable and interesting of all State papers. W'e have only time to note the fact that the popu'ation of Cumbria county, which was formed out of parts of Huntingdon. Somerset, and Bedford counties on March 26th, 1804. is put down at 29.155 and the square niilos at 070. The estimated population, ig based on the census of 18b'0. j but it is n.t less than 6,000 or C.000 in ex- cess of that number at the present day. That our people may know exactly where they stand, we note the additional fact tbfcf Ebmslurg is in latitude 40 degrees, 84 minute and 20 seconds north, and longitude, from Washington, 1 degree. 45 minutes and 44 seconds west. .Nice thing to be posted on such matters. Tue Late Concert. We took occasion last week to enter our protest against a cer tain sing cunts ined in the programme pre sented at the recent base ball concert given in this place, but so far were we from impu tin to Mr. Kerr any unworthy motives in selecting said song, that we refrained from meutiotiirg h;a name in our remarks regard ing it. Mr. K. is too much of a gentleman not to rehpect t lie ftolinpe of others, no mat ter how widely he may differ with them on any ulj'-et, and we express the general pini iit when we say that Ids trror in this instsnce was one of the head and nit of the heart. We feel sure that Mr. K. thanks us for whnl we said last wetk. as it has afford ed him the opportunity to place hirmelf "right on the record," which he di es veiy satisfactorily in the following brief imte: Aitoona, Fa..

Fatal Accident A man named Ed ward Hutchinson was almost instantly killed in Bhicklick township, near Jones' sawmill, on Tiu sday rooming lant. He was engaged in chopping down a tree, and the tree iu falling struck against another one and de tached a limb, wbich fell upon the unfortu nate man's bead with the result stated.

The Jobnst3n Democrat suggests to its readers the propriety of buying all the goods they need at the great big store ol John J.

M. Co. are sound oa the cheap cash system.

When business ia dull, as it now is, people ought to be sharp enough to take advantage of the disposition to sell at wonderfully low prices now manifested at the well stocked etore of A. G.

Mr. Swank lias long been a printer iu New York city, and other places, aud, barring politics, will make a good aditor. Success to him pccuniarly. THE HOLIDAYS. We agree with the remarks of the New York Tribune, that if the holidays are not kept more socially they should not be kept at all. That paper says that "New York city teas drunk" during the holidays. S it may be said of any city and town. A great holiday is only a great drinking day. What Aptly, r.ay, what a sin that the birth day anniversary of the Savior should be bap tised in strong drink. Yet it was so. we mit:ht say. the world over. What & pity ! hat a sin ! A STRIKE. The operators of the veral liues of the telegraph have struck some say for higher wages, some say because some of the craft in California were dismissed from duty without sufficient cause. We suppose that a strike among telegraph operators 16 natural. and that they catch the tendency to strike from the electricity or lightning. Who would not strike back when they are struck? That's so ! U DISSEMBLED VIKTEB. Hiawatha, or Lougfellow. says: "Oh, the Cold and cruel wiuter!" Sj say we cold and cruel. Two veiy wepressive words. If Ebensburg was net up so high we would bet that the tchermometer up there was Jotrn to zero on last Saturday night, if not 75 degrees below. It was so cold hero that we could see Dr. Kane in the Arctic regions, clad iu furs, and traveling with Hans, on sleds, drawn by dogs. Now ! DIED FkOU HER INJCIUES.

A great number of cases have proved fatal. The Supreme Court has decided that the Borough Councils have a right to levy a tax on liquor sellers to pay a police force.

Friend Mac Thinking that a letter from me at this time will not be amiss, I havs determined to write jou ope. The weather at present is rather severe ; the roads are drifted considerably, though not enough to materially interfere with biped or quadruped locomotion. Our . youthful friends are en joying themselves in "tripping the light fantastic toe," and other amusements pecu liar to the season. To some everything wears a beautiful aspect, but there are oth ers whose hearts sorrow and affliction have made sad and despondent. A man named Thomas Little died here rather suddenly one day last week. Fits, I believe, was the cause of hia death. Mrs. Gallagher, wife of Mr. James Gal lagher, of this township, died on Thursday morning of infiamation of the bowels, after an illness of only one week. The deceased was highly respected by all who made her acquaintance during the two years and a half she resided here previous to her death. She has left a family of seven children to mourn her early demise. May her immor tal spirit find eternal rest! Mrs. Ann Lynch, an aged lady who re sides about one mile from Wilmore, on the Munster road, had her wrist dislocated and one eye-brow sMghtly cut by falling ou the porcti of her bo'.ise on Friday morning last. She has the sympathy of all her acquaint ances, as has also her son James, who is sick and has been totally blind for the last two or three months. I ste you have been misinformed with re gard to the tragedy at Portage Station, as the victim was not dead at hist accounts, al though he was in a very precarious condi tion, lhe name of the perpetrator of the cowardly deed is not Andrew but Alexander Fresh, a noted rowdy of bummerhtll, Croyle township, and the instrument which ho used for his devilish j tirpos-e was, I am informed, a cold chisel used lor cutting railroad bars. Thee are several cases of sickuess iu this locality at present, some cf inllmatory rheu matism and some of other complaints. Amorg them is Mr. Patrick McDunn, Sr., who has heen ailing for about three months. That they all may find speedy relief is the sincere n ish cf Sultkko. Carecli.tcwn, Jan. 10, 1870.' J Dear Freeman A tcht:ol house in Car roll township, about two miles east of this place, and known as the "Strittmatter school house." caught fire a fow nights ago from some bark which had been placed upon the stove to dry, but the flames was fortunately observed by a gentleman who lesides in tha vicinity, and who succeeded in extinguish ing them, lut not until a large portion of the rl ie-r wa6 burned away. I have heretofore neglected to notice the fact that emr clever friend, John W. Shar baugh, has recently opened out a first class grocery store, in the Grasberger property, which was purchased by him several months ago. Mr. S. has had considerable experi ence in this business and merits, as he cer tainly will receive, a fair share of patronage in his line. An immense amount of lumber, staves, shook, etc.. have beeu shipped through this place during the past few weeks, and if the preseut excellent sledding continues for a short time there will be as much more taken tf your town for re-shipment by rail. Long lines of heavily laden sleds pass through town daily, and tho approximate value of this leading staple of Northern Cambria will reach an enormous figure. Our house was presented with a bran new baby, of the male persuasion, last week. It don't become "Buz Fuz" to praise "the nephew of his u jele" as environs folks, who can't boast of a fine rousing baby such as this vnc i.j, might accuse him of being too partial. Our boy is one of the musical kind he can run up to the high notes without any apparent effort. This, in connection with his minature Falstafiian appearance, would seem to indicate that he is not afflict ed with any pulmonary disease. The crop of new babies in Carrolltown, during the past few months, has beeu unprecedented, ami the forthcoming census will show a com mendable increase in this cla.s of our popu lation. But then the "olive branch" busi ness seems to bo brisk all around, even country editors being blessed in that way occasionally. Bi"2 Fez. New Railroad. It is now proposed to build a new railroad from a point on the Connelsville rni'road, through Somerset coun ty, and down Stony Creek, to terminate in the etore of L. Cohen Si Brother, Clothiers, No. 214 Opera llouee, Johnstown, bo that they can the more readily send away the great quantity of lu.iiie up clothing which now has to be haul ed cn sleds and wagons. Go aud buy a cheap suH at Jhe cheapest store before said road is completed. Gkeat Events. There are five great eems agitating the public mind just now the Suez canal, the Pacific Railroad, the Ecu men ical council, titan ton's death, and the sales made at the great Clothing Store of Leopold k Brother, No. 243 Main street, Johnstown Seeing is believing. Go and take a peep at their sales book aud be convinced. Go and buy a suit of cloth. and be comfortable. Then go home and be contented. Just a Goino! A9 Leopold Mayer's goods are just a going, so you ought to be just a-coming to buy them. He is determined to thin out his stock of goods just like a farmer thins out the hi'ls of corn, or the stalks in the Jims , in order to obtain a better crop. Mr. if aver will certainly crop out larger than ever in the Spring. Call at the Opera House, No. iilit Mam street, Johnstown. SWEENY SEES. On Jan. 1. 1870, at the residence ef the groom's mother, in Conemaugh borough, by Rev. P. M. Gar vey. Mr. Peteh Sweesky to Miss Jnik E. Sbe3, all oi that place. Our friend Peter has done well in taking unto himse'f one of God's best gifts to man, and we hope that throughout life's journey neither he nor his young bride will ever sees to be happy, contented and prosperous; and we hope that when called hence they may be summoned to that haven of eudless bliss where "the wicked sees from troubling and the weary are at rest." DIED, SWEENEY. After a brief illness, at his late residence iu Washington township, on Friday, last. Jan. 7th, Mr. Owen Sweeney aged 52 years. -, The announcement that cur venerable friend had been calleel from among us cast a deep gloom over this community, where he was so well known. His many excellent qualities will not soon be forgotten, lie was a benevolent friend, an indulgent father and kind husband. Those Feeking charities were always sure to find a frieud in Owen Sweeney. He was kind to the poor, indul gent to all, and charitable to a fault. Many a weary traveler will bear his name in grate ful remembrance mauy a poor orphau and destitute widow wiil offer up a prayer to God for his eternal welfare. We tleeply sympathize with his widow aud orphans in their sad bereavement. n.. iiEMLcx, Jan. 11, 1870. IN Clothing, Groceries, &c I Hi 1 1 II lil! 0YEK FOB THE SEASON! Pi ITCTOC MM OF V. S.
