Sa Shootiso cr the Evass Bots. We are indebted to Mr. E. L. E-Jwards for a copy of the Atchison County (Mo.) Journal, of Jan. 29th, containing the following account of the shootlDg cf Andrew and Edward Evans, two young men who were born and reared tn Cambria township, some three miles from this place, and who are better known than appreciated in this vicinity. Ttie Journal Mvs : Our usually quiet town of Rock Tort was thrown into a fever of excitement on Tuesday last b the shooting and serious wounding of me ivans boys by dipt. Win. M Blake, the paniculate of which we have endeavored to ascertain as accurately as possible. It seems that on Friday, the 21st instant, ''Andy" and Ed" Evans, brothers, residents of Lost Grove, some five or six miles east of Rock Tort, were iu town and bad been drink ing freely, and. as was their habit when under the influence of liquor, flourished their revol vers wildly, intimidating whomsoever "crossed their path." They threatened some of ouro't ixea with divers persecutions in one or two instances carrying their threats into execution and others with the taking of their lives; and even went so far as to brandish their revolvers in a menacing manner in the face of Captain Iflake. compelling him to submit to much abuse and insult at their hands. They alao resorted to the same "game" with othcis of our citizens, and it was with difficulty they could be persuaded to desist, in spite of repeat ed warnings, and leave town. They vent, however, at last, but threatened to return on Monday, as we are informed, to "kill Captain Blake and clean out Ruck Port " Mouday came, but. if they had intended to return on their missio;. of death and "revenge" thev.did not do it. On Tuesday they came to town, and their purpose being srronly sus pected, parties who had been promised their lives should be sacrificed we:e put on their guard. Shortly before 11 o'clock a collision occurred' between ibe tvaus s and Capt liUke.on Rock street, iu the neighborhood of Traub's black smith t-hop, when a short conversation ensued in regard to the proceedings of Friday. "The Csptain aKked a refraction, when Ed , who had mounted his hotsc, replied with a shot from his revolver, the ball ju.t missing the back of Blake's neck. At the same time, almost, the Captain fired at the elder Evans, who was standing a few paces off, holding hisrcvolver in a threatening attitude, the ball taking effect in his aide and producing a slight fleh wound. Blake then turned and fired at Ed., shooting him through the body about midway; turning aroui.d, ho let the elder Evans have a shot in the head, the ball striking him almost rquarel v in the middle of the nose, penetrating to the rear of the right ear; turning again, the Capt. observed the younger Evaus "fleeing from the wruth to come" in hot haste around the comer ii.to Maiu street. Stepping quickly lo the cor ner, he let him have one more shot, which the back of the saddle prevented from taking effect By thl. tiiuc a large crowd of excited per sons had gathered, aud all seemed to compre hend the situation at ; ce. They had antici pated it. They knew that the Evans boys had mistaken their man. Tie wounded tren orght te'uje the ci der in Iiuckham, Slithers ti Co.'s 6tore and the other at Ueiter's Saloon, where medical aid was furnished them. The wounds that each sustained were found to be very serious, and it was thought for a time they would prove fa tal. During the evening they were removed to the Spei-cer House (where the still remain) and their friends sent for, who now have them in charge. 'or a long time previous to this occurrence the Evans boys, as tbey are commonly called, were looked upon as dangerous men, aud their bullying, braggadocia style caued many per ilous to regard the-m with fenr aud terror. While it is to be regretted that such an occur rence has taken pluce in our midt-t, there was only one course to be pursued. Tbey seemed bent ou takiig the lives of tome of our bent citizens, and Capt Blake was singled out as one of the number. If he bad incurred their displeasure at any lime he is not awre of it. Their attack on him is pronounced most uu warrantable and unprovoked. If they recover, as it is now believed tbey may. it is to be hoped that the icvere lesson of Tuesday may cause tbeni to reform and become peaceable citizens. The Jwvbktor ok CoBk Limbs in Tna Almshouse. Some person has beeu inter viewing" oue t'f the inmates of our County Poor House, and has furnished to the Al toon a Sun an account of what he learned ou the occasion, but whether the story be true or false we are net prcpaied to say, although we understand that the person referred to was at one time employed in the making of artificial limbs, but those who have known him longest never knew ULtil now that he claimed to be the inventor of those indispen sable at tides. Still we believe the man in question is perfectly sane, and we have no reason to dwubt his story, which we give as we 6 Lid it published in the latt issue of the paper named above : This life is a strange affair indeed. The good things of life are very unevenly divided, and it not un frequently happens that the man who discovers or invents some valu ible thing dies In poverty and neglect, while some unwor thy individual monopolizes all the profits and honors of the invention. A gentleman iu whose word we hive the highest confidence states that while on a recent visit to Cambria county he came across an old man, clad in humble garmeuts, without the means of supporting hi mself, and depending'for his subsistence upon the bounty of the county. Entering into con versation with the old man, our informant found him unusually Intelligent. In the course of the conversation he stated that his name was Charles Murray, that he forcerly lived in Philadelphia, working for a man named Al corn, 77 Dock street. He claims to be the original Inventor of cork legs, having manu factured one for the wife of Captain Thomp son, a sea-captain, in the year lt26. For this limb he received $75, and for another, made tome time after, $100. In the meantime his employer, in whose integrity he put the high est confidence, set about procuring a yatent, the understanding being that the proceeds should be equally divided. The patent was eventually secured, but iu Alcorn'a name, and tbejold man, Murray, alleges that while he was the sole inventor of the limb he received no recompense whatever, but now passes a dreary existence iu the Cambria county Alms house. We do not assert that the above is true. The man who relates it with such apparent sincerity may be insane, but stranger things have happened lot:g ere this. STRONO ReCOM MKKPATI0N8. Drs. J. Taft, H.

Local Correspondence. JohnsTiwn, Fb. 21,1870. Dear Freeman The editor of the Johns town Tribune has discovered that "Both sides" and "Rob Hoy" are synonymous terms. We acknowledge the corn. Since our earliest youth we have been accustomed to view holh sides of every question before coming to a conclusion. We never Jump at conclusions, aod were never bigot euough to be one sided. Every honett judge of every court in every state and every nation listens to ooia siaes ul every question of either law or foci before he announces his decision ; er$ro, every such judge might justly be nick named Bothsidcs." We glory in the name. Every writer cn philosophy and ioic advises those who would beM aud honest to exam ine both sides of every question, and where an opponent presents a strong argument to give that argument due credit. We shall do so in the present case and give our friend of the Tribune due credit for his wise dis crimination in this re.pect. Nay, more wo will say that siucethe Tribune has fallen into hia hands, it is quite a spicy lecal paper indeed", a greatly improved paper. Now, brother of the tripod, beat that if you can ! W. Horace Rose, Esq , our last year's Burgess, is about to hand over the insignia of e ffice lo his successor, Joseph S. Strayer. Eq., and in doing so he will leave a clean record of his past year's transactions. It is something remarkable in these days of de generacy for those in oQicial petition to re tire from their posts without some stain upon their characters, or at least some crimination and fault finding. We have never yet heard anything said against the eflicial career of Mr. Kobe. On the contrary, every body, without distinction of party, commends him for honesty .justice and gentlemanly conduct towards all with whom he held official inter course. Besides, the expenses of the bor ough have been teduced uudtr his adminis tration about six hundred or a thousand dol lars. Good reason for it he is a democrat. We would give the incoming Burgess a kindly notice now but for the fact that we would doubtless be charged with taking both sides. So, this matter will be posf-ptned for the present. You may wonder why your correspondent did uot report the arrest of cert iiu parties or Saturday eight week. Wo admit that we did not, and we will say here, crce for all, that wo will always refrain, a far as possible, from feeding that morbid taste for murvtllous uews that is growing so alarm ingly in every community. We do know that the Police Gazelle would sell as rapidly among some good people as the Christian Advocate, but God forbid that we should over be instrumental in furnishing such de licious tit bit slander to vitiated minds. The young as well as the old read the papers, and the youthful mind will gobble up such items as greedily as a tuikey would gobble up corn, while thu old ladies with spectacles would take a sly peep over the youug folk's shoulders. So we say "hands oil !" While it is perfectly right that the law should puu ish offenders, we do not thiuk il necessary that every dirty case should be reported iu the "Family Newspaper." Washington's birthday is to be celebrated by the "Turnverein" Society, who are pre pariug for one of the greatest masqucd balls that ever this place witnessed. We admit that we should like very much to see the grotesque and crr.iic figures that will move athwart Union Hail, "multiform and mix," but then the sight would cost three dollars, and that is beyond our purse. Notwith standing the immense preparations for this ball, Frank W. Hay's stove and tinware es tablishment, just above said Hall, on Wash ington street, stands as firm as a rock of adamant, or pot-metal. .A young man named Prosser emigrated some time ago from Juhnttowu to Tennessee aud got reconsli-ucled there, and now turns up in Congress. Ht; made a speech the other day ou "Education," in which he makes an abundant use of quotation marks, aud tries, but fails, to prove that we as a people have done less for education than European na tions. We would have said nothing about the speech but for the fact that it is terribly tainted with politics. He charges the Dem ocratic partjwith ignorance, especially in New Y..rk city. Now we do think that party politics and popular education should be kept entirely separate. He makes an abortive attempt at wit by showing that in the Southern States there are counties that have only from oue to two post-oCices, from which he infers that the people are very ig norant. This reasoning is very unfair. Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and other Republican States have also counties with but one or two post-oOices perhaps some without any. His speech, such as it is, would have done much more good if his political thrusts could have been left out. We remember the time when ig norant mgn, such as 'Plug Ugl'ies" and all the scum of all the cities in the Union, were identified with ths Republican party. Not a word was then uttered about ignorance. Inde d, if we may judge by the scrunty representatives in Congress, that party is not very intelligent evenyet. We offer a compromise on the question of removing the county seat, which will, per haps compromise the dignity of Ebensburg, Wilmore and Johnstown all three. We propose taking the county seat to Burkett's canuel coal farm, in Jackscn township. There would be a great saving of fuel in thi6 movement, and then the coal-batik could be used as a . If the Commissioners want a swamp they could get orf?iico squares below. We think a swamp is the best, or 6ome spouly place, as it would give prison ers a chance for lots of bale; but, in making this remark, we do not intend that any one should throw cold water on the question of removal. That the county seat should bo brought this way we have no doubt, and it is feasible. A large land slide would bring Ebensburg down. Still, you chaps would be uppermost, so that we might almost as well "rest on our ores." The tariff questien was discussed by our literary brethren, last Monday night, in the Johnstown Literary Society. That question is not well understood, and oF course the discussion was about as edifying as that of the question, "Where is the precise centre of the universe?" We happen to be on both sides of that question, so that we are right all the time. But we want a protect ive tariff. Cambria borough is to have a post office. We say hurrah for Cambria borough ! Sam uel Naylor, 6r., is to be the post-master. Lots of Pub. Docs, can be sent now into the very heart of the Democracy, but It won't do any harm. The post master is about all the republican In that precinct, and so it does not matter. The office will be a great convenience to the people who reside in or near that borough, and we are glad to know that our neighbors are in luck. Some rascals, have beeu violating the holy commandment, "Thou shalt not steal," and have, been appropriating watches, flour, wagon-maker tools, etc., in our place. We have ironically speaking, a sharp police to let such things be done in this little place. If the stealing bad been done at the crossing of Franklin and Main streets, we think the police would have found it out, for this is about where they stay. Tfcf Trwingh: Orotic:! di j crt rote to gfv the Water Compauy $1,500 for a few gal Ions of "wild cat." We have bad but one fire during the year, and that oue was easily put out. It would be an enormous tax upon our citizens to pay 31,500 for so little water. Better carry the water from the wolls, as of yore. The people would not complain if the water had bden actually used and property actually saved fiom de struction by the devouring element; but such was not the caso. Have we a juvenile band of EtLopian Serenaders, and do they go 'round on Batur day evenings and play at tho saloons for something to take ? We heard so, but we do not believe it. We think, however, that if it is so it is none of our business. The weather here has assumed a dignified aspect, and is now trying to imitate winter, but no icicles have got formed upon the gray beard of "Old Boreas." We may yet have ice. "Dan" needn't be afearcd of any soldier licking him. If he should ever be attacked he has only to call on Hon Hoy. Summirhill Iwp., Feb. 20, 18T0. Friend Mac Since my last epistle we have bad a Variety of weather from winter to spring and from spring to winter again. The late crop of snow was exceedingly pro pitious to our lumbermen, as it afforded them the opportunity of shipping a consid erable amount of lumber to market, amount ing fiom one mill alone to about 100,000 ft. Our farmers have ploughed a considerable quantity of grounJ during the intervals ef soft weather between the "minature win ters." Mr. James Lynch, theyoung man noticed in my last letter as being ill, died at the residence of his mother in this township on Friday morning last. He was always a quiet, inoffensive persoD, beloved by all who knew him, and his Christian end fills us with the hope that he ia already enjoying the reward of the just. I regret to have to inform your readers that Rev. Father Brown is ill at present I believe from an attack of brouchitis, he being subject to that painful disease, and has had seveial sick spells within the last few months. He has the sympathy of all who admire a good and zealous priest, a warm hearted gentleman and a steadfast friend of hia spiiitual children, May he soon be restored to the possession aud en joyment of permanent health. Mr. Jchn McColgan, of Wilmore, has sold his large tavern staud to Mr. Geo. Wender oth, but the consideration received I am unable to state. I em also ignorant of his intentions for the future, but I know that he is deserving of success in any business he may undertake. The snow is falling fast at present and we have a prcpect of a few daja of winter yet. The people heteaways are considerably agitated about the prcj-jcted new jail, and as far as I know universally condemn it as too expensive an undertaking. Siuuld it be submitted to the decision of the people the proposition will fare ill at the hands of the people of this lownt-hip. How would a court house and j-eil both at Johnstown, at an expense of more than double that of the proposed new jail here, suit the people of your township, friend "Soltero" ? Let us hear both sides. Editor Freeman. No more at present, from your friend Soltero. LETTER FROM BEULAII. Is the County Seat to go to Johnstown Great Excitement Local News, fyc, fyc. Buei.au, Feb., 22, 1870. Fkiekd Mac The only topic of coversa tion on our streets to-elay is. "Shall the County Seat be moved to Johnstown ?" Some of our leading men have heard from somebody that there was a bill before the Legislature at Ilarrisburff. to urnhimt friend, V. S. Barker, of your place, from nr. . i . . . . . seun-g goous so cueap, out tnat can't bo did, as we are getting up such a powerful peti tion against any such a bill, and can testify that Barker is consulting his own as well as our interests by selling off his goods so cheap.

It Snows ! cried the schoolboy, hurrah ! and his shout rang loud in thenars of the people about the Mansion corner, where John 'J. Murphy, always as merry as a schoolboy, does a big business in selling dry goods and notions. Mr. Murphy was cut out for a merchant. You can see it in the coruer of his eye. He knows how to pur chase goods cheap, ho knows what to keep on hands, and he knows how to sell cheap at the Mansion House corner, Johnstown, Pa. formerly David Diberi's stand. "Dan Licked." Leopold & Brother can lick all the Dans, from Dan to Bersbeba. selling ready-made clothing. This cold weather has brought a great rush of custom ers to their Clothing Depot, No. 241 Main street, Johnstown, and they are selling ra pidly.

Go right away and get a good aud cheap suit from Messrs. Leopold. Quoting Shakespeare is very fashion able just now, but the very tip-top fashions can be fuind at the fashionable Dry Goods Bazaar of N. F.

Where does Mr. Carroll keep 1 Go to the Houston House, Main street, Johns town, and the first door south is Mr. Car roll's dry goods store. A rare BidnT was witnessed on Monday morning last about seven o'clock, being no less than a circta around the rising sun wiich presented all the colors of the rain bow. A rare sight in the way of goods of all kinds can be witnessed at any time at th popular and well patronized cheap cash store of A. G. Fry, whose superb dress goods present all the rich colors of the beautiful raiabow. Go and see Fry's show. J uT So. A lady remarked in our hearing the other day that she believed Mr. Davis, of the East Ward cheap steire, sold more goods than any man in town, there was stich a come down in his stock within the last few weeks. The reason she assigned was that he keeps such splendid goods and sells at such moderate prices; Floweet. Somebody says that a woman full of truth, innocence and love, is the prettiest flower a man can have except, of course, a barrel of such Flour as is sold by II. A. Shoemaker & Co.
