Dear Freeman The masquerade ball of the Turnvereio Society was well attended. Nearly every national costume was repre sented, and almost every grade of society. The Johnstown Zouavea had a grund ball at Hansmans Hall, which was also well at tended. .The Johnstown Assistance Fire Company are to indulge in their third annual ball at Union Hall this evening. James E. Murdoch gave a reading on Sat urday night in Union Hall which was toler ably well attended. The Penna. R. It. Company are causing a new platform to be constructed at Johns town Station. We ought to get a past for this notice. Fi ve new double dwelling houses have been erected this winter in the 6lh ward, owing to the mildness of the weather. The ice crop germinated last week and was growing 6nely until last Saturday, when Murdoch's reading, or something elue, melted it to tears. The new Council was organized a few evenings ago by the election of Alex Ken nedy as President and John M. Bowman as Clerk. The new Burgess. "Jos. S. Strayer, K?q.. was inaugurated on the occasion. David Peelor was elected Surveyor. Henry Kratter Weigh Master. Geo. W. M'Dowell Market Master. John W. James High Con stable aud Ji hn T. Harris Chief of Police. There are only two policemen, and Harris is one of them. The fire that broke out a few weeks ago in lJuik hart's hoop-skirt factory, and from which Mr. B.'s family narrowly escaped be ing suffocated, is not quenched ; at least two or three lawsuits are likely to grow out of the matter. The Merchants and Manufac turers Insurance Company have not as yet paid the insurance. This is a Pittsburg company. Burkhart will sue. The sheriff or some one else broke in and seized some goods remaining there. Ihat may make suit number two. A constable, in attempt ing to arrest Mr. B., got into the wrong house and was forcibly ejected, one arm being broken in the operation. This will be suit number three. The person whose premises were invaded irteuds to bring suit against the constable aforesaid. That will be suit number four. So I am informed. This is an unlucky house. It has been on fire four times before Mr. B. entered it and two or three times since. So we think Mr. B. ought to get something. 1 Ibe foundations of tfce new woolen facto ry in Wood vale is laid and work will be re sumed early in the spring. Cambria borough has challenged Miilville borough for a spelling match, from which we suppose the Cambrians must have been posting themselves, and we think they ought to gain the day, being the challenging party. You should not lie so hard on the editor of the Tribune. We really think you vio late the Scriptures. See the fifth chapter and first ere of the first epistle to Timothy. The Johnstown borough schools have 757 pupils iu regular attendance. Five hundred and fifty have entered the Miilville borough schools, a place that eighteen yeais ago was a meadow. Our Literary Society continued the dis-cust-iou of the tariff question ou last Monday night, and the subject is nut yet exhausted. The discussion about the removal of Ebeus burg to Ji-hnstown waxes warm in the pa pers. This county is unfortunate in having domestic dissensions, but in some ways it has been Jiirtunale. Fur instance, E bens burg ard Johustown have bath been ably and abundantly represented in the halls of legislation at Harrisburg for the last ten years. Is history reliable? We have been re viewing theHistorv of Conemaugh Valley" for the last eighteen months, but we fail to find anything in its vivid description of Ebeusburg about that place being a ticamjiy country! It is thought ihat rents will come down in this place about the first of April, as there are now a good many empty houses. We know some houses that are rented at least one hundred per cent, too high. The roof of a house in Miilville borough, near the railroad station, took fire on Thurs day morning lart, but was- discovered just in time to save the building. Hard times are with us. Men who only earn about one dollar and thirty cents a day cannot support a large family with meat at twenty cents a pound. Two hundred and sixty citizens of this place want the income tx repettn 1. A boy named Boas had the ends of three fingers of his right hand taken (iff ne day last week at the liook factory of Nutter & Co , on Pottage street. A singular optical illusion, called mirage. was witnessed here a few days ago.- The atmosphere was foggy, and Ebensburg ap .eared in the chuis. directly over Johns town. This is th'-uht to be anonymous. Sinco levels has got into Congress it is thought that Ben Butler will have stronger reasons than ever for exclaim mg, ' Qhoo, fly. don't bodder me!" After the necessaries of life are supplied it does not take much additional expense to procure the luxuries and supply a well filled table. Coffee, tea, sugar, egg, meat, bread, butter, milk and potatoes may be called the subotai tiali in every family. Now supply beet pickles, preserves, apple-butter, rice, jelly, cabbage, apples, tomatoes, etc., one little dish full per day and you have a good tablt at little extra cost. U. S. Senators are not as dignified as the British lords, who have no negroes among them, or the members of the French Assem bly, who have no gemmen of color, nor as dignified as the lady who reused to recog nize a love Utter sent from a nice young ruau by a darkie. New sugar has already come icto market. Better lay in a supply, for we do not look for new fruit next year. Senator ilevels, it is thought, will deliver the last lecture of the Johnstown course. Subject. '-Shoo. Fly." I congratulate you in that you have not debased yourself iu calling ugly names dur ing the late little on pleasantness" about the new jil. Your correspondent has abstained wonderfully also from the evil practice. As much cannot bn said of Justice 'And Cone maugh. But it makes a paper sell well. The late freeze made iceeuough about our town to afford a chance for a week's skating, which was greatly enj iyed by the young people. We noticed little girls not ciht years old skating admirably. Public opinion changes with the cycles of time and the code of morals too often change with it. Burning witches is in one age a duty and iu another a crime. If Brighsm Young had lived in Solomon' day he would have rolled in glory. Feeding the shark with young, healthy children, is in some countries and ages a religious rite and pleas ant dnty. The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they said, "Behold a glutton ous man and a w:ne bibber!" The early Greeks taught their children to steal, but punished them if caught. The Jews made slaves of the heathen and the heathen of the Jews. Wo make slaves of our ilhiU breth ren and worship negroes. What ts charity ?

Friend Mae Yoa seem desirous to know how "a court htuse and jail both at Johns town, at an expense of more than double that of the proposed new jail in Ebensburg. would suit the people of this township." Now, let me ask bow long will it be before the people of Ebensburg will want a new coutt house? I am cf the opinion that it will not be very long ; and in that event, so far as expense is concerned, it would make little difference. As for convergence, it would be more advantageous fur us if the county seat were at Johnstown. It is easier of access, and our business transactions take us to Johnstown rather than Ebensburg. I know it would be a great act of injust ice to the people of our Northern townships to re move the county seat to Johnstown, but suppose the county was divided, I think it would do no injustice to them, aud I also believe the people of this township would not be oppose' to a division, with Summer hill township in the lower couuty. I know this arrangement would charge the state of political affairs in this stction, but I believe the administration of our county affairs would be as economical as it is at present in several departments of our county government. But I did not advocate the removal of the county seat in my last letter. I only stated what I knew to be the opinion of many of our people concerning the new jail. I did not say that a new prison was unnecessary, but I thought and still think that a less ex pensive one would be all snfiicient. At pre sent no more on this subject. fOur correspondent is certaiuly drawing very largely on his imagination when he supposes that the present generation, to say the least, will want a new court bouse in Ebensburg. even if things remain as they are. or that the democrats of his own or any other Southern township, as a body, would be willing to hand themselves over to the political control ot the radical paity, which he admits would be the case if a division of the county should ever be effected. Moreover, when he acknowledges that a gross injustice wouid be done to the peo ple of Northern Cambria by removing the county seat to Johnstown he admits that a pnat wiong would be done such a v. rong, in deed, as the majority have no right to perpe trate at the expense of the minority; but when he attempts to palliate that wrong by proposing to divide the county, he offers a compromise that never will and iu the nature of thing3 never can be consummated. As regards the comparative economy of a democratic aud i radical administration ot the governmental af fairs of any organized community, it is useless to enter into a discussion so long as the actions of both parties speak louder than words. But we deem it folly to pursue the subject further, aud trust that our respected correspondent will be able to see the matter in the same light. ild.tor Freeman J Father Brown, whom I noticed as being on the sick list, still continues ill, but I am glad to say that he is improving. The store of P. M. Woleslagle & Son, iu Wilmoie, was broken into on Tuesday night of last week, and a number of articles, in cluding several overcoats, a revolver and one hundred cartridges, about tec dollars iu change, a watch, and various articles of lesj value, which were in the show case stolen. The robbery was a bold one, as the thief broke into Arthur Cul'en's carpenter shop and provided himself with an auger at.d chisel. H also took a pijch bar fiom E-q. Cri'm's saw mill, and effected an entrance by boring a hole about a foot below the lock, and, inserting the chisel and bar, forced the lock. While in the store he sucked two d zeo of eggs, ate cheese and !so provided himself with some foi his journey. His cap ture was t fleeted in the following novel manner : The- railroad repair hands under Mr. G. G. Kobangh accidentally left one of their men behind them, who, not wishing to lose his day. followed them on the Pitts burg Express, bearing with, him the intelli gence of the icbbery. It happened on their way down that they passed a man carrying three carpet sacks and a bundle, and they at once suspected him of being the thief. Accordingly Constable Fiinn, John Wole slagle, G. G. Kobaugh, and a constable from Conimaugh, lay in wait for him, a frhort distance eait of the latter place on Wednes day eveuiog. and soon had the satisfaction of seeing him in search of thq stolen goods, which he bad bidden away in a wood pile. Springing on him they secured him while in the actrof drawing the same revolver on them he had stolen. He was brought back to Wilmore and committed by Esq. Miller, and was then sent to Ebensburg to await his trial at court. Several articles were found with him. He had on an overcoat belonging to John Woleslagle ; also the lost watch aud some chee&e in his pocket. He gave his name as John Coates. aud ia a large muscular man, and one well able to earn an houest living. Messrs. Woleslagle's loss was estimated at something over $200, but it has been greatly reduced by tbe recovery of sev eral of the stolen articles. As my epistle has grown pretty lengthy I will close for the present. Yours &c, Solteko. Altoona Citt. Feb. 28. 1870. Friend Mae Owing to severe indisposi tion I was unable to come to time last week, and not being able to be about much since, my opportunities for learning local news have been rather limited. The celebrated Dr. Gleason has been de livering a series of interesting lectures on auatomical sul jects in the City Hall. He is a very pleasing aud interesting speaker, aud has quite a large array of anatomical paint ings, which, taken together, are calculated tu convey much valuable information in re gard to the human form divine." His col lection of pointings is said to have cost him over $25,000. The Docto performed prod igies in surgery while here. Tbe last two lectures delivered by him were of a private character, one bing exclusively for gentle men and the other for ladies. I have been oedilahly informed, however, by a gentle man of strict integrity, that some three or f. ur ladies (?) of the masculine persuasion were pieeut in female apparel ou the lat ter occasion. bharue on you, naughty, naughty boys! A first class humbug has been pulling the wool tver the eyes of some of our people. He represented that he was getting up an accurate map of Altoona city one that would be perfect in every particular. Oil this representation he procured large num ber of subscribers, but when tbe maps were finished and delivered at the bouses of sub scribers (which was invariably done when the heads of the families were absent.) it was found an examination that the maps were nothiug bat miserable daubs, aud without one redeeming feature. Of coarse the subscriber refused to pay for aueh con temptible abortions when called on. but the projector, who himself admits that the maps are faulty, determined to get paid for thero anyhow. The stipulated price was six dol lars. When he found that the people were not willing to be robbed without first stand ing a suit, inasmuch as he had not fulfilled his contract, he procured the services of one of those obscure lawyers who are always willing to make a fw dollars, no matter how questionable the method, to aid him in wrench ine from the parties in question, by a legal technicality, what they did not hon estly owe him. Instead of suing for the whole amouut they brought suit fur $5 30. thus cutting off all appeal. They knew their man Friday, the'ehap with the append age of Esq . before whom they brought suit, and the little game worked to a charm. Sev eral of the subscribers have been served in this way. but I imagine before they get through that they will find tbey have got a Rolaud for an Oliver. Our new city councilmen were sworn into office on Friday last. Mr. Jones, of the Third Ward, was chosen President and Jobn W. McKinney re-elected Clerk. This is the third time thpt Mr. McKinney has been elected to this responsible position, and al though I have never considered him a very reliable democrat, I take pleasure in bear ing testimony to the efficient manner in which he has discharged his every duty. He is undoubtedly the best clerk that any council in our city has ever had, and so long as he occupies the positinu there will be no necessity for burning the books, as was done on a certain occasion, because nobody could understand them. The outgoing council did wonders during their adminietration. When they came ioto power they found the old bo roil sh in debt to an amount approxima ting $3000 and her credit below par; and in the remarkable short space of two years they liquidated this indebtedness, bought two first class steam fire engines, purchased real estate for the use of the city, made more improvements than had ever been made be fore, entirely restored the credit of the city, so that any amount of money could have been boirowed on its promisrs to pay. and have left some $3,000 or $4 000 in the treas ury. It is needless to say that that council was democratic. Before leaving the chair as President, Wm. Murray, Esq , delivered a most excellent valedictory one credi'able to him as a worthy citizen and reliable bus iness man. Councilman Bockett is rapidly reentering from his late injuries. T. I. M. East Cox em a itch. Feb. , 1870. Dear Freeman I wish 1 could send you something that would be interesting to your numerous readers, but local news is scarce and sensational items don't often occur here. Our unostentatious village has nothing pe culiar or imposing about it to recommend it to the notice of newspaper correspondents. Poor Richard said, "lluld your tongue and nobody will kuow that you are a fool," but didn't tay anything about pens. Perhaps he never etj yed the benefits of our free school system, and could not write. Our borough contains about sixty voters, and our neighboring borough of Franklin about eighty-seven. We gave a democratic majority last fall cf ten. and Franklin gave thirty-five republican majority, thus verify ing the old proverb that "evil weeds gener ally grow the faster." East Concmaugh contains four taverns, four 6tores, one school house, three shoemaker shops and one black smith shop. Franklin coutaius one tavern, one church, two school houses aud one M. D. The round house, machine shops, ticket of fice and warehouse of the Pennsylvania Rail Road Company are all located in East Con emaugh, as their road passes through the village. These buildings are commodious and well constructed, and require a large ferce of workmen to carry them ou. But what I want to mention particularly is their spacious Karehouse. Its exact dimensions I cannot give, ntver having "stretched the line upon it," but I assure you it is capacious and well ventilated. I think its equal is not to be found upon the line of the road from Pittsburg to Philadelphia. Its walls are composed of the "everlasting hills." its roof is the whole canopy of Heaven and its floor is solid terra Jirma. It is large enough to contain all the freight unloaded at this place, and has some room to spare. How ever, some of our merchants complain that the roof is rather leaky in tainy weather and that the walls are not proof against the rude blasts of old Boreas ; and I thfck its dimen sions might be contracted some, as it is some times difficult to find our goods after they have been deposited then in. Will you, Mr. Editor, please speak to the Pa. II. R. Co. about the matter and ask thm to make some slight alterations and repairs. Yours, &c, Scmmcm Bokum. Adjourned O out.

Over thirty suits were carried away and socreied in the trunks of the depredators at home. No harm was done, as the goods were all paid for. but we notice Uih as a "warning" to others to go and do likewise. The Removal Question. The Legis lature will npt consider the question of the re moval ot the couuty seat until next week. The removal of cheap goods from the store of Ti. R.

Oh! bitter tears, you could not save '1 he form we did adore Fiora out the cold, insatiate grave. On that far western shore. CLOSING PRICES -OF- DE HAVEN &.
