We are always glad to record such pleasant occur rences, ns we feel sure that no better method could be suggested for cementing the bonds of friendship and good will between pastor and people, and we would be pleased to see the custom adopted by all religious denomi nations everywhere. The Rev. gentleman honored and made glad on fhis occasion as sures us that the moneyed value of the do nation cannot bs less than $120. But here are the particulars of the affair as they have been given us : The congregation of the Presbyterian chun h of Ebensburg, Ta., paid their paetor, liev. B. M . Keir, a donation vtait on Friday evening hint. A committer of five youn.j hidies went out in the afternoon to take peaceable or if need be forcible possession of the parsonage and make all the necessary arrangements for the occasion. About dusk the hill leading to the parson's fine re.-ideiue was lined with con veyances containing a number of the members of the congregation and the various articles de-igned as a present to the Itev. gentleman named The parlors and other rooms were soon filled almost to oveiflowing wiih the youue and the old, the gay and the grave, the handsome and the plain of feature. A collation was soon served up, acd as usual on such occasions, was speedily devoured, and all went "merry as a marriage bell." Uut, haik ! the clear ringing voice of Mr. A. Y. Jones, the spokesman of the party, is address ed to the pastor, telling him how much he is beloved by his people, and that ly way of re paration for this assault upou his premii-es, a purse ol money and an abundance of provisions and wearing apparel are hereby presented to him and his estimable family The pastor briefly but feelingly replies, thanking them all lot their kindness and liberality and concludes by reading the 4th chapter of Paul's Ep'utle to the rhillippiaii8 and offering pray er. After which all returned to their respective homes well pleased with the evening's entertainments, and none more so, Jwe will venture to add, than i be Iter, gentleman and his most estimable family. Since the above was in type the following card of thanks has been handed us for pub lication : Ma. EmToa Permit me through the col umns of your valuable paper to return, for myself and family, our most sincere and heart felt thanks to the members of the.congregu lion of the Presbyterian church of this place lor their substantial "donation" of the 16th iust., consisting of a purse of money, abundant provisions, and many articles, cf wearing ap parel. May the Creat Giver of all good abun dantly reward and bless them. B M. Kk, Pastor. Ebex.bueo, Pa., March 23, 1870. Ercafd from Jail. Alexander Fresh, cor, Sued in our county jail on a charge of assault and battery with iutent to kill, com mitted on the person of a man named Mar tin, at Portage station, several months ago. succced?d in making his escape about eight o'clock on yunday night last, and up to the time of writing, although $100 reward was immediately offered for his apprehension, his capture has not been effected. Fresh by some means succeeded in prying off the wtatherNboarding over the staple of his cell door, and then removed the burs with which thestapl was fastened. This accomplished, he waited uoti! thw girl whose duty it is had brought the prisoners their nippers, end when she passed -dow stairs with the dishes, leaving the stairs tloor uulocktd while she repaired to the kitchen, -Fiesh forced open his cell door, slipped down stairs, made his exit at the back door and left for parts un known. Lis tracks in. the snow plainly indi cating that he made 2.40 time iu the direc tion of the railroad station. Encouraged by the success which attended Fresh's efforts, John Coates, convicted on two charges of burglary and one of larceny and sentenced to the Penitentiary for tix years, also attempted to escape, and so far succeed ed as to get outside his cell, which he did by prying apart two of the iron bars of the door with two wooden slats from his bedstead and forcing himself (although a man of nearly 200 founds weight) . through an aperture not Kiore than teven inches in wid'h. there by scraping the skin Irwm his back,' breast, thighs and other parts of his person. In the meanlims the stairs doer had been properly secured without the fact of Freeh's escape being noticed, and Coates could of course eet no further, even if he had not been so r.lat!v exhausted and badlv Used uti bv - i j r - . i hi prevhus efforts. Tho noise of bis move- j ments. however, attracted the attention oi Sheriff Blair, and on going up he found the prisoner lying on the floor iu front of his cell, fully appareled, hat and a41, and his boots mtifSed with strips torn from a blanket which formed part of his bedding. A pistol in :he hands of the Sheriff suggested to the prisoner the fact that discretion was the belter part of va'or. and ere long ho was Fafely confiued in his old quarters. On Monday -morning Coates was taken to the Peuitentiary, where be will have plenty of time to ruminate on the truth of the axiom that the way of the transgressor is hard." ines. ! naT. r LC"9 The Ladles' Fair rrvV m fact lhat a1! the remain , ere to be disposed of on tbat ., attracted a larire crowd and i a "!'

The earth contains 1,333,000,000 inhabitants, who speak 3,604 languages aud belong to over 1.000 religious denominations. More than 12,000 of these have policies in the Continental Life Insu rance Company, of Hartford, Connecticut. The aim of this Company is to give insu rance at its actual cost and pay losses promptly. We give this sterling old Com pany a hearty welcome. Every father should provide far bis family, and the safest and furet way is by a policy on bis own life. Eoery congregation should insure the life of its pastor, and thus lilt from his heart a heavy burthen of apprehension in regard to those who are dear to him wbo b thai) be called from his work; Local Correspondence. Johnstown, March 21, 1870. Dear Freeman Johnstown is to be hon ored with the presence of nearly three hun dred ministers of the gospel, during the present week, who are to be in attendance at the Conference of the M. E. Church. St. Patrick's day was observed hereby the Catholic citizens. A most able lecture was delivered in Sj. John's church by Rev. Father O'Shea, on the Origin and History of the Irish People." The Tribune gives a full report of the lecture, which was very largely attended, notwithstanding the in clemency of the weather. The only person mentioned by the learned lecturer with whom we had any acquaintance, was Cor mick Mack TJlfadab, who was one of our great grand Mres, and who lived in the early part of the 4th century. Hon. T). J. Morrell delivered an able speech in Congress lately on financial mat ters. We doubt whether his irredeemable bondB could ever find buyers, otherwise bis scheme is a good one. On the question of making a bank and broker-shop ut of the Government treasury, Mr Morrell makes the following sensible remarks : "The Trea sury would not and could not ba a bank, but it might be a pawnbroker's shop on a large scale. It will not be seriously pro posed to establish local Treasury agents to j do a regular banking business, for the agents or officers must be appointees of the party in control of the Federal Government, and I should not be willing to trust such enor mous powers to any political party, not even my own." We have often heard of the "Big Trees" in California, but we never read a better or plainer description of them than that writ ten by Wesley J. Rose, Esq.. in last week's Tribune. We clip a portion for the benefit aud amusement of your readers : These trees are found in the San Antonia branch of the Calavaras river, over four thousand feet above the level of the sea. About sixty acres are covered with large timber, bat there are about one hundred and three enormous trees. Twenty of them exceed twsuty feet through each one. The stump of one measures ihirty-ivo feet across, and the truuk of others are hollow and men cau ride ou horseback in and out with ease. The first is called "The Father of the For est," aud is 110 feet in circumference. "The Mother of the Forest" is 84 feet round and 825 feet high. "The Husband" and "Wife" are each 65 feet round and 230 feet high. The Burnt Tree" is 39 feet across and 330 feet high. "Hercules" is 95 feet round and 325 feet-high. The "Hermit" sixty feet in circumference and three bun dled and eighteen feet high ; the "Old Maid" this is a leaning tree with its top broken off, but is still two hundred and sixty-one feet high and fifty-nine feet in cir cumference ; a short distance from this is the "Old Bachelor," a hard looking old curse, two hundred and ninety-eight feet high aud sixty feet circumference; a few steps from this is "Pioneer's Cabin," "The Siamese TwiDS." These start with one stem and about forty or fifty feet up part into two beautiful trees. Ttvpy are about three hun dred feet high. Then the "Guardian," three hundred and twenty feet high and eighty-one feet diameter "Mother and Son." another pretty sight, the former three hun dred and fifteen feet high, the latter three huudred and two, and altogether measure ninety-three feet in circumference ; the " Horseback Hide," a laying tree, one hun dred and fifty feet long and hollow from end to end. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" this ties is hollow, and ol the bottom of it twenty per sons could stand at once. It is three hun dred and five feet high and ninety-one feet circumference. The "Pride of the Forest" is thought to be the finest sight of the grove. It is so straight and well proportioned ; but the "Bfautyof the Forest" if fully as beau tiful. It is three hundred and seven feet high and sixty-five feet circumferei.ee. "The Two Guardam;u" stand close by the en trance. They are three hundred feet high, one shcty-five and the other tixty-nine feet citcnmfereDce. 'The Three Graces" are beautiful. Together they measure ninety two feet circumference and two hundred and ninety-fivu feet high. After reading this description of big trees, yolir correspondent "Vaitmn in Mullo" will be the more ready to believe oue big story of the consumption of strong drinks lie must not think tbat he drinks till the whiskey. According to Horace Greely of the Tribune, Pennsylvania alone pays an income tax on the sale of fifty-two million dollars' worth of ardent drinks, and the entire States and Ter ritories over ve hundred millions. Greely got tbe information directly from the official bureau at Washington city. Of course some of this liquor was sold two or three times. Still it is startling news. Pennsylvania pays about six million tlollars for ed;!caliou, school houses aud other property belonging to school, annually, and fifty-two millions for stomach bitters, to say nothing about ice cream, oysters, small beer and other littre luxuries. In regard to the other alleged mistake, we have only to say that we always thought that Uonemaugh was east of us. If we committed an error it was one of the heart and not of the head. The Millville schools, and we believe the Johnstown schools, too, closed on Wednes day of this week with honor to both teach ers and pupils. There was some tall spell ing done at Millville. Take the eight schools together, according to grade, and the pupils will spell ninety words out of every hundred in either the Speller, Readers or Geogra phies, or even a newspaper, leaving out pro per names, and even in them tltey will spell seventy per cent. Winter still lingers in the lap of spring. Old Boreas stil wears the trident, but ' is disposed at times to extend the scepter of mercy to such latitudes ass-hed tears of peni tence. He has reigned long enough, besides he is becmiog quite cranky and fossilifer- ous. aud is so cold by nature that even his verjuice turns to icicles. But then tec all get old ! The tjo-operaiive Liiorary Association are to have the benefit of a ball, in Union Hall, got up by a faw liberal hearted members and others. The entire proceeds are to go to the Association. The ball comes eff on Easter Monday evening. Ou March 25th the German Theater gives an exhibition. Also on the 26th, a play and a song "Tar-at at-schingskun," if any bodyknows what that is. On March 28th John B. Gough will lec ture iu Union Hall. We do not know the man, but if be is as hard a case as GouglCs old arithmetic used to be, I do not want to make his acquaintance. We were intro duced to the book when a boy, and that will do us. We don't think there is a teacher in Pennsylvania who caD cipher through Govqh. We see by the Potlsville Standard that water has beeri let into the canal at that place already. This nsed tn be a familiar saying about here, in the spring of the vear, but. alas! the canal is new no more. It is fossilized and belongs to some ante-canal age. "Backward, turn backward, O time in thy flight. Make me a child again, just for one night." t Rob Rot. Literary Xotlces. The Catholic World. The April num ber of this well-known and deservedly pop ular magazine is promptly on our table. It contains sixteen articles of more than ordi nary merit. The first is on "Religious Lib erty," and. as it gives tbe Catholic view of that subject, should be read by all. An ar ticle on "Mary Queen of Scots" is a resume of Dr. Hoosack's late woik. In answer to Fronde's accusations against Mary that she was an accomplice to the murder of Darnley. This article attempts to refute the accusa tion. There is one article that will especial ly attract the attention of the American people at this time. It is on the "School Question." and may be taken as the more advanced and orthodox Catholic view of that subject. We also find in it an article on the "Morality of Catholic and Protestant Countries," in answer to the ATev Englander, and a long letter from Rome about the Coun cil. Every month this magazine has a let ter from Rome, which is perhaps the only correct account from there we can get. as it is written by a member of the Council. A new story of ancient Rome is begun in this number, and it also contains several other articles on various topics, making it one of the best issued. To Catholics this magazine is invaluable, and to non-Catholics it must prove interesting, especially to those who wish to know what arguments Rome puts forth in support cf her cause. It is a good time to subscribe now, as this number be gins a volume. Terms $5 a year. Publish ed at 126 Nassau street. New York, and is for sale by all news dealers.

How to Gbt a Piano or ORGAN.In these days of refinement and comfort no home, "be it ever so humble," is complete withont a piano or organ with which to sweeten the hours of leisure and rest. But how to get oue is the problem, when you haven t the money to pay down for one. Mel lor & lioene the wide-awake music deal- ers oi 63 tutn Avenue, ruisourgn, ra., iave solved this problem by tbe adoption of their new renting plan, by which you can rent any piano or organ that may suit your taste and make arrangements to have the reut money go toward the purchase of the instrument. By this plan every one can soon have a piano or organ of their own in the house. 13 y all means stop in at Mellor & Hoene's and examine their beautiful frtock and learn their terms.

Silvers' Patent Broom is tbe most perfect article of the kind ever invented. It saves carpets, time and labcr. and has been awarded a premium wherever exhibited. The corn in the brocm is so elastic tnat it will outwear two oi tne best tied brooms, sweep with half the effort and not wear out tho carpet one-fourth as fast thus making it the best and cheapest. It is adapted for town and couatry, as per sons who don't want to make their own brooms can buy the filled loops cheaper than a new broom. The patent parts will last a lifetime. Mr. E. L. Edwards is agent in this vicinity for the sale of this splendid broom, samples of which can be seen at the store of H. A. Shoemaker 4 Co., where or ders will be received and promptly filled.

Mr. Clerk of the Weather, we beg leave to suggest that a change in your pro gramme would suit us the best, tor too long has old Winter held tarnival here, and it's high time indeed that SpV'nB should appear espe cially since everybody is waiting anxiously to see the beaetiful Spring goods which H. A Shoemaker & Co , are now reeking to make room for by selling off their fine winter stock at a great sacrifice. That's So. There is said to be no place like borne, especially if it is the home of the girl you are courting ; still it you want to get something good to eat to take home the best place to buy it at is the popular cheap cash store of M. L Oatmati, where all kinds of provender can be had at lower prices than any where else iu XMorthern uamoria. i nat a a fact, aud people will do well to deal there. Popular. A. G. Fry deals in poplar lumber and is a popular man to deal with. He likewise deals in all kinds of merchandise, and comes as near giving goods away as any man in the business. There is no doubt about get ting the worth of your money all the time at Fry's big store. Bedford has a firm styled E. M. Fisher & Babies, which sounds very home like. Ebensburg has a merchant named R. II. Davis, who has received the only Spring goods which have yet been brought to this place, and who ii one of the cleverest men to buy from in the county. Luckt. One of the luckiest men at the late Fair was eur merchiut friend, George Huntley, the extensive hardware dealer. As it is good to buy fronr a lucky man, we suggest to all ouf readers the propriety of an early visit to his mammoth establishment. Catching Flies When a boy at school cuts a hole in his desk, patches a fly and puts it in, he is studving philosophy. Ho whea i mau goes to N. F. Carroll's dry good store, Johnstown, at the Houston Houe, he is studying his interest by catching bargaius and penning them up in his carpet-sack. Ladies, ifyuuarefiot joking, and really want good bargains, ear advice is to go to Carroll's. Alt k iid of dress goods and household goods and fancy and toilet goods. Spring is coming, Spring it coming, and the little bee is humming ; then go to John J. Murphy's store, dry goods are coming, more and more : and Mr. Murphy sells so cheap but pray, sir, whwe does Murphy keep 7 He kee r where L. Dibert did before, at the Man sicn House, Johnstown that's hi store; Dry good, dress gooda, toilets, too. and household goods more than a few. I don't know what the folk would do, if they hadu't Murphy to show them through. Shooting ducks is bad economy. Sup pone a man spends one day after a duck, on Peony Creek, Johnstown, and doesn't get it. How much does he make? Now suppose be had spent oi.e hour at James J. Murphy's clo thing store. No 109 Clinton street, he could have bought a $30 suit for $'20 and a $2U suit for $15, and would have, therefore, cletred $15 in one hour. Thai's the difference. Then go to the "Star" Clothing Store. - Specib Payments Mr. Specie has begun to pay his debts. Leopold Mayer is his a?eut at the Opera House. Johnstown. No 2li2. Mr Maer is now paying oat specie in change, when purchasers' take any considerable ejnantity ol (roods. He hope.3 to be one of those who will inaugurate the good old time when gold and i-ilver jingled in every man's pocket. When such times return tho price of goods will also come down. Cheap Clothing. Cohen & Bro. will sell cheap clothing, at half price, onlv one week more, at their famous New York Cloth ing Hall, Opera House, Johnstown. They w ill close out then. Now is the time to get a cheap suit. The goods must be sold and will be sold to some lucky person. Call and you will surely have a streak of such luck as sel dom falls to the lot of mortals. $5,000 worth for sale yet. Leopold & Brother, No. 241 Main street. Johnatown, have some of the choicest cassiruercs we ever saw. They sell made-up clothing of the nest kiud. They will also take one's measure and get clothes made to order.
