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

schools, a place that eighteen yeais ago was

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

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.

The late freeze made iceeuough about our

which was greatly enj iyed by the young
people. We noticed little girls not ciht

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

countries and ages a religious rite and pleas

punished them if caught. The Jews made

SrjMMEBBiM, Twr, Feb. 28, 1870.
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.

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.

James E. Mcnnocn. What did Mur
doch say in his lecture ? He said that John
J. Murrhy, at tbe Mansion House corner.
Johnstown, sold tbe best and cheapest dry
good of any .man. of any place or nation. He
traveled a great deal, but the like he.oever
saw. Murphy does sell good goods cheap, and
no mistake, unless you mistake tbe place

Uot.T Namks. The ugliest names ever
we heard are the names of some rivers and
lakes in Canada. They are a mixture of In
dian, Esquimaux and French. But the pret
tiest names we ever heard are Leopold Si Bro's
names for their new styles of new goods and
made-up clothing. Just call and ask for a list
of terms and buy a suit of clothing, or leave
your measure, at 241 Main street, or 243
They have two numbers.
m it
Scsnciocs Characters Several per
sons were sten prowling about L. Cohen Si
Bro's cheap made up clothing store, Ne. 214
Opera House, Main street, Johustown. as if
they intended to buy and pay Tor some of their
; 15 ,00 worth of made up clothing at cost,
which must be disposed ot by the firstof April,
as they will positively leave that place then.
Good bargains in new clothing can be had.
Thirty Arrests. James J. Mur
phv's Clothing Store in Johnstown was broken
into by about thirty persons on last Saturday,
whose attention was arrested" by his cheap
clothing at lit!) Clinton stieet. 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. Davis will be considered at any time the
ready cash i tendered iu payment for them.
Everybody should take au interest in tbat re
moval. Dig Thing. It is really surprising to
see the big string ol s'eds laden with lumber,
shooks, et c, which file into Ebenahurg every
day just now, but it is more surprising to see
people hunting the best bargains in dry goods,
groceries, etc , at any other establishment than
A. G. Fiy's popular cheap cash store.
We believe we have said on several oc
casions that Mr. E. J. Mills keeps the only ex
clusive flour and feed store iu Ebensnurg, and
we now repeat it because we wmit everybody
to understand that he ia the right mm to -uy
from, as he keeps a prime stock and sells at
the most reasonable prices.
Tins is the first month of Spring, (al-
i though nobody would recoguize it as such if
he almanac didn t say so,) and now is the time
to get the best bargains evet offered in winter
goods at V. S. Barker's popular cheap cash
store. Go iu and-win.
DIED,
BRADY. Tn Dongola, 111., on Feb. 1st.,
after a short but severe illness,' Mr. James T.
Brady, aged about 32 years.
Oh! the news is fraught with sadness
Which cometh from a western shore,
And a home once lit up with gladness
Is darkened now forever more.
A fond mother there is weeping
Such tears as mothers shed.
Where a noble son lies sleeping
In the cty of the dead.
There's heart gushing, banting tears.
Wept by a loving sister band.
For 'mid their group in future years
Their brother ill not fctand.
Oh! bitter tears, you could not save
'1 he form we did adore
Fiora out the cold, insatiate grave.
On that far western shore.
