A Pleabakt Donation Pabtt.A friend
who was present furnishes ua with the fol
lowing particulars of a pleaant little inci
dent which occurred in this place on Friday
evening last, and which has do doubt caused
great gladness of heart to the good natured,
popular and eloquent pastor and his esteem
ed family, the worthy recipients of the
liberal bounty so generously bestowed on the
interesting occasion referred to. 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.

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

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

time to ruminate on the truth of the axiom

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.

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

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

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.

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.
The Educational Gazette Is a first
class Family Journal, devoted to pure, high

The March number contains valuable ar

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

and learn their terms. Remember the place

A Good Invention. 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.
They also have fine samples of c olli, so that
one can have hia choice before be gets his
clothes made up. They also keep all kinds of
gents' furnishing goods, umbrellas, trunks, etc.
