True charity Is not circumscribed by parish or county lines, 'but is co-extensive with Christianity itself. Nor will any person ever be the poorer for the patronage they bestow upon such enterprises as the one in question. On the contrary, liberality on such ocasions is sure to win from the public a more generous support in the-' business walks of life, as merchants, politicians, and other seekers after public favor can fully testify. Person wishing to Bee something new, beautiful and durable, and something greatly needed by many, should go and examine Isenberg's specimens of Denta! plates before having teeth put up on the old and objec tionable plate.

Dear Freeman The pleasant sunshine of last Friday and Saturday caused our mind to revert to the past, and to reflect upon the first seasons we ever beheld, or at least re member beholding. That time was in 1820, when we first saw the folks planting corn. The ground had Leeu plowed with a wooden plow mouldboard, share, and all, and af terwards smothered over with a large thorn bush. The trappings of the horses were made of ropes and the bark of trees. The stumps aud stones were hauled off on a sled, there being no wagon about, except a kind of trundle, the wheels of which were made of cuts of wood sawed off the but end of a white cak tree. The following harvest was reaped with sickles, the grass mowed with a Dutch scythe, which was sharpened by beat ing it with a hammer. The hay was hauled in on a sled and pitched with wooden pitch forks. The wheat, rye and corn were ground at tread-mills. Two or four horses were placed on one side of a wheel which was nearly but not quite horizontal, and their weight caused it to revolve, and to propel other machiuery. Corn was husked, build ings erected, and flax scutched and ven blankets fulled by frolics. It was amusing tc witness six or eight persons kickitig flan nel, on a floor which flanuel was saturated with soap suds. Threshing was done alto gether with flails. The grain and chaff were separated as follows t A large tow sheet was fastened by cords at one end to the wall of the barn, while a man caught the other end. and, by waving the sheet, produced a current of wind, while another bhook the chaffy grain through a sieve or riddle just over the current aforesaid, and the chaS was thus blown away. Such was the condition of things in 1820 or fifty i years ago, Flint locks, brush fences, burn ing log aud brush heaps, loom up before our imagination as we write, and we fancy that we cau smell the smoke of the buruiug rub bish even now, and inhale the fragrance of the green grass, as of yore, when we had to herd the cows. Many a rural sight, such as these, have we witnessed such a3 burning clearings, and woods on fire, viewed after nightfall ; but the ruostjmagnificent sight we ever wituessed was a night view of a field of standing dead timber on fire. If all the ship masts in New York harbor were on a blaze at one time, the scene could not be more grivnd than that of a thousand standing trees on fire, with high spring winds' diiving the sparks, like a dense shower of meteors, in all directions. Nothing could excel the sight except a city or a prairie on fire. We saw the falling meteors in 1832 and the city of Pittsburgh on fire iu 1844, but we think the burning timber transcended both in grand eur and sublimity. The examinations of the MillviJle public schools were largely attended, and the exer cises were quite interesting. There are eight schools in this borough, under the charge of S. B. McCormick, Kate Young, Linniv Lcrdin, Maggie. L. Davis, Ada Car penter, Bella Lardiu, Lucy A. Dickey and Annie E. Z.-cL. The teim was fix months. The closing exercises consisted of a series of examinations, with iatcrludes devoted to singing, declamation, dialogue, etc. The Co. bup't was present and made addresses. He passed a glowing eulogy upon the efforts of both teachers and pupils. The crowd re tired from each tchool room pleased and gratified. The Conference of the M. E. Church last week was largely attended. About three hundred ministers were present. The dis trict represented embraces Western Penn sylvania, West Virginia, and Eastern Ohio. In regard to numbers, the Conference was about equal to Congress, while it was not inferior in iutelligence and far superior in al! the other elements of greatness. We never saw a better looking body of men assembled in this or any other place. From the honey which' feeds the bee, is extracted, by some chemical piocess, the poison which flows from its sting ; so from the very acta of kindness which we bestow upon others, is generated the malice with which they too often requite friendship; He takes my life who takes away the means by which I live," and professed friends often do this. The M. E. Conference published a daily paper while in session here. About twelve Uuudred copies were printed and sent away daily from the Tribune office. This was the first daily paper printed in Johnstown. We have been accused of growing old. We cau neither help the accusation nor the growing old. Wq have spent thirty-five years of our time in teaching for wages en tirely inadequate to the labor performed, and now our thanks for all this i? a taunt. We can only say, in the language of an elo quent Indian chief, "I am a branchless trunk, strike me down." But let thot-e who strike remember tbat they too will groio old, and then, perhaps they w'xWfeel the force of these taunts as we have done. There is a time to become fojsilized, but even this is vanity. Your paper is spoken of in this place as a respectable, high-toned family journal an encomium well deserved, for we do think that you do religiously study bow to avoid giving offense. Continue ou well doing. The weather on Saturday night and Sun day was exceedingly wet and stormy, which no doubt put a stop to the excellent run of sugar water which was witcessed during the two or three days preceding the storm. We had a visit from T. J. Chapman, Co. Superintendent, last week, who is looking well ; also one from Rev. B. M. Kerr, the worthy gentleman who was waited on by Mr. Donation and who deserved all he re ceived. A large number of other Ebens burgers were also here last week. Hope they may have the gift of continuance Wo would rejoice to see them all here. The District Court commences its session on next Monday. A number of trivial ca ses are on the list for trial, but we are not aware that many cases of importance will be adjudicated. Johnstown must be growing large. A child was lost in the 5th Ward, on Friday last and two children were lost in the 3d and 4th Wards on Saturday last in the after noon. J. G. Keller, house and sign painter, is still at his old stand, opposite the post-office. He has a sign out in the shape of an open book, with both sides of several leaves ex posed, on, which entries are painted as clear and fine aa in a printed book. It is a mas terpiece of art aud skill. Mr. Keller does a large business iu house and sign painting, and makes but little noise about it. Honor to whom honor is due. The Pennsylvania R. R. Co. sent A train of cars from Altoona, on Saturday, and took the whole M.E. Conference on a trip across the mountains, and returned them &P 5 p. m. This was a clever act. Rob Roy. Cabbolltown, March 28, 1870. Dear Freeman During several days last week we were in rather' an isolated condi tion -separated, as it wer, from the balance of tho world owing to the general blockade by snow of all the roads leading hence. Our mail facilities in winter are enjoyed by rath er a precarious tenure, but this was the first occasion during the present season-that our efficient aud indefatigable mail carrUr was compelled to forego his regular trips. On Friday last the road was re opened and we are once more rejoicing over the daily receipt of mail matter this being about the only inconvenience we suffer Troni blockaded roads during the winter season. You were misinformed in regard to the accidental killing of a "young man" on Mr. Llopple's farm. No such sad occurrence transpired in this locality, and if such had been the case your correspondent would have transmitted reliable details of the events Monday of last week was observtd here as the patronal feast of Sti Benedict, to whose especial guardianship our church is dedicated. Grand high mass was celebrated and a portion of our brass band Assisted in discoursing the sacred choir music on the oc casionk In this connection I may state that the band and choir have been practicing to gether for a couple mohths past for the purpose of celebrating in a becoming man ner, n Easter Sunday, the vocal and instru mental music so well befittiug the great mystery of the Resurrection. They have now iu course of preparation "Mozart's Twelfth Mass," and the band instruments, in connection with our magnificent organ, will make this an occasion to be remembered. Died, on Thursday last, in Carroll town ship, Simon, sou of William Luther, in the 19th year of his age. Ou the evening of the same day, in same townshipk of consump tion. Agues Farrel, aged about 32 years. With this letter we drop the rdle of "Car rolltown correspondent," as we have conclu ded to emigrate hence, or rather our en gagement here has expired by limitation. We can only hope that some person better able and more capable to furnish yott the news from this portion of the county may voluntarily assume the position we now va cate, and thus keep your readers posted iu the general news of Northern Cambria. Vale. Bfz Fua. Ai.tooXA City, March 24, 180. Editor Freeman With your permission, I desire to say a few words and propound a question or two.through the columns of your excellent journal. There having been or ganized iu this city, a society known as the "P. O. Sons- of America,' the charge is made thus it is a proscriptive organization. In fact, I have been told that it is a branch from the old Know Nothing tree, and I am inclined to believe this statement until it has beeu proven to the contrary. Mr. Editor, we alt know that Know Nothingism was the greatest humbug ever devised by mortal man an association or party which had for its object the elevation of none but "Native Americans," aud the annihilation of every thing that was foreign au association that was iu direct opposition to the fundamental principles laid down by Washington and bis compatriots aud we all see the fallacy of attempting to build another society on the ruins of Know Nothingism. Some of the members ot the new order tell us that it is founded on the Holy Bible and the Consti tution of the United States, aud that it is not in any way a proscriptive order, or op posed to any religious denomination. Now, if this be true, why is it tbat whenever any of their members ask a person to join them they desire to know it he is an American by birth and if he is an adherent to Catholic ism ? I would ask, a gain, if this older is opposed to men of foreiga birth holding any office in the gilt of the American People? As I take notice that the Tribune and Sun of this city take particular pride in recom meuding this organization to our young men, perhaps they will give us some light on the proscriptive features of that order. I be lieve they are connected or interested iu 6ome way. Will you do it, geutlemeu? I am not opposed to any society that has for its object the elevation of mankind, irrespective of race or religion, but 1 have great objec tions to any organization that endeavors to. poison the young mind with prejudice, ha tred, etc. Right. FBANmLiy, March 25, 1870. Editor Freeman Your correspondent, "Rob Roy," in his communication published in your kst issue, uses considerable argu ment to prove that he was correct in his es timate of the amount of liquor consumed annually in the United States. I did not doubt the correctness of his calculation and only alluded to it as an eicUse for his erro neous statement, giving the credit to East Conemaugh which was dtle to Franklin. He further reminds us that we do not driuk all the whisky. It was unnecessary to remind us of that fact, for I was aware that "Rob Roy" could drink more whisky in one day than I drink in a year. Multum is Pabvo. Noble Act of a Little Bot. Passen ger Train Saved from Threatened Deslruc tion. The Pittsburgh Post of Tuesday fur nishes thex following particulars of a most praiseworthy act performed by a lad named Keogh (uot Kahoe), near Kittanning Point, on Saturday moruiug last. We are well ac quainted with the parents of the boy referred to, and congratulate them on the brave con duct of their little son, who is worthy of a testimonial more substantial and useful than either of those suggested by the Post for instance a thorough and liberal education at some first-class college s On Saturday morning about nine o'clock, as the Pacific express train on the Pennsylvania Railroad, comiug west, was approaching Kit tanning Point, a tew miles west of Altoona, the attention of the engineer was attracteJ to a little boy, who was standing on the track waving a white handkerchief. The train was stopped, when the little fellow approached and gave information of an immense rock which had rolled upon the track, and which was 1 ing a few yards in advance of the spot where the train had stopped. The name of the lad who had thus arrested a terrible disaster was ascer tained to be Billy Kahoe. He is only ten years ot age, and it is said that he once before pre vented a disaster on the road, within a few yards of the spot where the rock was found, by giv ing timely warning of a similar obstruction. That boy should be "surprised" by ihe railroad officials with one of the customary testimonials a gold watch and chain, gold headed cane, or some other handsome present. All. OP ThBM. Want of room we hope will be accepted aa an excuse for dot notic ing in extenso this week the inducements of fered by our several Ebensburg mercantile friends to their respective customersj arid we trust, none of them will sell fewer goods on account of our remissness. Ciosing out sales of winter good3 at the store of V. S. Barker, A. G. Fry,' H. A. Shoemaker & Co., and R. R. Davis are still iu progress, and either of those gentlemen will be found willing to give as much for the same amount of money as aoy dealer in or out of the county. Mr. Davis has already received an invoice of spring goods, and the others wish to make room for their big stocks, shortly to be purchased. E; J. Mills, flour aud feed dealer, keeps such commodities as have all 6easoOs for their own, and Hot only sells the best of suoh ' commodities, but sells at the very lowest rates, while George Huntley, who is eldom asked for an article in the hardware, tinware, queensware, wood enware, stove or notion line which he is not able to furnish, moves on in the even tenor of his way, doing a big business because be does it on the square and asks only the most moderate prices for his goods. All the gen tlemen above named are Worthy of tho most liberal patronage. Real Estate Transfers. LEFT KOE RECORD DURING THE THREE WEEKS KNDI.NO MARCH 26, 1870. John R Nagle to Jno. A. Nagle. Sopt. 20.

"Ye Local" of the Altoona Radical ha3 been "interviewing"" trie extensive stove and tinware establishment of our amiable and marriageable young friend, Geo. W. Yeager, in that city and gives the following as the result of his investigations: We dropped in the other day at the Stove and Tinware establishment of Geo. W Yeager, on Eleventh Avenue, below the Radical office, and were taken with the BaFley Sheaf Cooking Stove, for sale there. Among the peculiarities of this stove ate these: The crcss-picCe on top is reversible, so the wash boiler Can be used on the side holes as well ns iu front; a slide feed er is attached so the fire can be attended to while the front holes are in use; there is a slid ing front fire door, giving full use of hearth an additional slide in the oven, making more available room than usual ; the oven is nearly as wide at the top as the bottom, securing much additional space-and great advantages in baking ; it consumes the least possible iuel, and is altogether the best cooking stove in use. Mr. Yeager has tbem of different sizes, and also a full a-s Jrtment of other patterns, for par lor, chamber and kitchen. His facilities for making and putting up spouting aro equal to any in the city. His prices are moderate. Give him a call. The Cash Ststbm, Our next door neigh bor, M. L. Oatman, has made up his mind to try what virtue there is in the cash sys tem, and announces his determination,' On and after to-morrow, the 1st inst., to sell goods only on the "pay your money and take your choice" priuciple, and in order to induce people to come to terms on the ques tion, he pledges himself to sell groceries, flour, and all other articles in his line, at a reduction of from five to ten per cent, under former prices. Mr. Oatman is enterprising, liberal and accommodating, but has found that neither his own interests nor the inter ests of his customers are subserved by the credit system, ahd hence he proposes to turn over a new leaf. We hope it will prove a successful inovation on a tule which should be more honored in the breach than the ob servance.
