A SriARp Confidence Game A gentle manly looking scamp, who by some means became possessed of a passenger conductor's punch and badge, made his appearance in Jackson township, rot many days ago, and represented hims-If as a nephew of the late Superintendent of the P. R. R. and the con ductor of a passenger train on said, road for which he was anxious to engage a brakeman. He made himself at home in the family of Mr. Geo. Burkey for a few days, and indu ced a sou of that gentleman to accompany him as far as this place, under presence of giving him the vacant position. Here he probably discovered that youog Burkey either had no money or tvas not willing to be fleeced, ao he took French leave of hitn on Monday evening of last week, by jumping on the Branch train shortly after it had left the station at this place. On the way o Cresaon he got en the engine and induced l he engineer to slacken speed and leave him off at the turnpike crossing, a short distance this side of the latter place. Where he hid himself during the day is not known, but on Tuesday evening he made his appearance at Vaughn's aaw mill, and was not long in making arraneements with a young German named Teter Barr or Bard to accompany him to Altoona. promisiog him the vacant brake manship at 50 per month and boarding. On their way to Altoona the pseudo condec t il Succeeded in borrowing his victim's watch alleging that he had forgotten his in Pitts burg, and that it was requisite for him to hare one by which to time the train to that city. He also made Barr believe that it was necessary for him to buy a braketnan's uni form, and as he knew exactly where the clothing could be bad in Altoona, he propo sed that his victim should entrust him with sufficient funds for the purpose and remain at the station until he would return with the outfit. Earrhereupon handed over $28 to Mr. Conductor, who joyfully set out on his generous mission, but probably failed to find the right store, as op to present writing his young German friend has neither donned thebrakemans uniform, got his money back, or received one word of information from the bogus conductor. Mr. Barr, we are told, remained at the Altoona station until about midnight, when the idea finally made its way throegb his thick skull that he had been swindled out of his watch and money, and it may well be supposed that he reached home next morning a "madder" if not a wiser man. Bought wit is a high priced article, but since Mr. Barr has been forced to invest in that valuable commodity, it is to be hoped that he will make good use of it in the fu ture. Ah 111 looking dog named Teaster, who had been in the employ of Mr. John Half penny, a respectable woolen factor at Bell's Milis, Blair county, but had been discharged by him some time since, induced a young daughter of the latter gentleman to leave home with' him, not many days ago, by promising to get her a pood situation in a woolen mill at Milroy. Mifflin county. The tbsence of the young lady was soon noticed, the telegraph brought into requisition, and ere long Mr. H. had the satisfaction cf learn ing that Teaster and his no doubt unsuspect ing dupe were brought up standing at Mif flin. Mr. II. went after his daughter, who is scarcely fifteen years old, and she is again under the parental roof. Teaster is now looking through iron bars in Hollidaysburg. and will probably find. erehe is done with the matter, that stealing a Halfpenny of that kind is rather an expensive luxury. Tbe scoundrel is said to have a wife living in Williamsport. Wholesale Groceries. James Connor, of No 355 Liberty street, Pittsbnrg, Pa., has now on hand a large and well selected 6tock of Groceries. FUh, Brooms, &c, &c. He is the largest dealer in salt fish in the city, and is prepared to offer superior in ducements to retailers. He also manufac tures brooms, and dealers will find it to their advantage to trade with him. Paint Shop foe Sale.

Local Correspondence. Altoosa Citt. May 2. 1870. Fuiend MacThe fire fiend has been again devastating our city, three destructive fires having occurred within twenty-four hours all beyond doubt the work of incendiaries. About 11 o'clock on Saturday night last the terrifying cry of "Fire! Fire!" resounded through our streets and awakened tbe ma jority of our citizens from their peaceful slumbers. On reaching the vicinity of the conflagration, I discovered that the building adjoining the Masonic nail, and belonging thereto, was in 'a sheet of flames, and as the structure was filled with combustible mate rial, it wa? soon burned to the ground. The large itable belonging to the Grant House also caught fire and was almost entirely de stroyed. The Masonic Hall building was likewise considerably -damaged bv the de vouring element. On the following fSundav nirhl nrnn tbe same hour, the cry of fire once more rang out upon the air, and this time it proved to be a more serious and destructive catastrophe than the one which bad preceded t. The scene of conflagration was found to be in the vicinity of Eleveuth avenue and 15th street, and when I reached the locali ty I was horrified to find that no less than four stables, c everal outbuildings, and a great deal of other property, wp.re within the grasp oi tte rare nend and beyond the reach of human succor. Scarcely had this fire been fcubdued, when flames were discovered issu ing from the roof of the brick dwelling house owned and occupied by our mutual friend, Tim. Brophy, Esq., and before the steam engines could be brought into action, this building was not only so badly . damaged that it will have to be rebuilt, but the house adjoining, of which Mr. John M. Bowman is the owner aud occupant, was considerably injured, although not rendered unfit for oc cupancy. That all these cot lagrations were the work of incendiaries it is impossible to doubt. As evidence conclusive of this fact, it is said that three of te stables were lock ed and secured, and that they were all set on firo simultaneously. That all the fiends in human shape have not yet been banished from our midst is very plainly manifested in these renewed deeds of diabolism. It is perhaps needless for me to say in this connection that the ever Vigilant and faithful fire laddiea were ou hand in an incredibly short space of time, and as thev went t work ith a perfect Good Will and a deter mination to cave all the property it was pos sible to save, they were not long in establish ing their Empire in the very midst of the pandemonium which surrounded them. It was indeed astonishing how soon the flames were subdued after the steamers were got rightly to work. Had it not bten for the facilities thus afforded for overcoming these fires, and for the noble and untiriug efforts of the brave and faithful men who compose the several fire compaoiea of this city, it would have been my duty, iu all probability, to chronicle the loss of entire blocks of buildings instead.of the comparatively few which wee lapped up by the fiery element. And yet those gallant men who risk their lives and devote much cf their time to this noble work, not only do not receive any compensation, but it frequency happens that instead of being encouraged by words of praiso and gratitude, which they richly deserve, they are made the subjects of reproach for not accomplishing what is invariably beyond the power of human exertions to accomplish. Hon. B. F. Rose, chief engineer of the fire depa-tmcct, I regret to say, was struck on tbe temple and prostrated to the earth by a brick which fc'.l from the cornice of Mr. Brophy's houe. -Mr. Rose, who Is ono of the most skilful and intrepid firemen and enterprising citizens of which our city can boast, was gallantly battling against the fiery element when the accident occurred. Ilia wound is rather a severe and painful one, a very ugly gash having been cut in his forehead, but be has the sympathy and prayers of the entire community, and ifhey are of any avail, he will soon be restored to his wonted health and vigor. I should have Btatcd ere this, end it affords me p'eisure to say it. that the looses sus tained by both Mr. Brophy and Mr. Bow man are partially if not fully insured. The stables and outbuildings, however, are a total loss to the owners. It may startle you to learn that one of the fifteenth amendments in this city, while employed about the premises of Mr. John Halton, a few days since, accidentally frez? fast to a pair of boots belonging to Mr. Hal ton's son Tom. For this cool exibition of loyalty the "man and brother" was hauled up before the Mayor, and I believe he is now enjoying the hospitalities of a certain public institution over the hill. T. I. M. Johnstown, May 2, 1870. Dear Freeman The Conemaugh borough schools were let on May 2.1 to John W. Tra beit, S. B. M'Corm ick, (at $45 per month) Mary Griffin and Kate G. Young, (at- $40 per month ) The time is eight mouths without any vacations. The Johnstown schools were opened tbe same day, the old teachers getting their sit uations. They will be open for nine months, if the tax holds out. A new building was put np in Hornerstown, and a new primary school is opened there. On the 1st of June Wesley J. Rose's term as school director of Johnstown borough will expire, and Jacob Levergood will take his place. Mr. Levergood has often been a school director, and always with credit to himself, and advantage to the borough. Jacob Trefts was re-elected, which means that his course gave satisfaction to tbe peo ple. Enclosed I send you two dollars paid by John W. Trabert as subscription to your valuable paper. I wish I could send you about athoufand more, before the Republi can party takes all the senses of the people. The St. Joseph's 6chool taught by Ger-. manus Voeghtly and his son Chas. Voeghtly, in the basement rooms of the new German Catholic church. Railroad street. Conemaugh borough, and numbering about 232 pupils, held an exhibition on last Thursday, which was well attended and gave great satisfac tion to parents as nell as spectators. It is in a very prosperous condition. Both Ger man and English are taught, with music, etc. Cyrus Elder, Esq , delivered a lecture on "Woman," for the benefit of the Young Men's Christian Association, on the 27th ult. It is published in the Tribune. The transition from the wofnan of fiction to the woman of history, or from Desdemona to Cleopatra, is so rapid that one gets lost in reading it. It is like John Van Buren's procession. He concluded to take out his watch to time the processson, but by the time he got his watch out the procession was gone. There is too much sugar in it for a cent. The Co-operative Library Association have at length opened their rooms and put their books in order. Members can get books now at any time. Anderson, the gieat "wizard," is here now with 100 presents for nothing. He was here some time ago and we understood that htflcck s.vrzy about $1,000 cf the'pccpk's money. It is a kind of prize lottery concern. If you buy a ticket you get in to see the wizard and may be you draw something may be you tfon'. A young man named Baird got the fingers taken from bis left hand one day last week while working at the machine shop of the Cambria Iron Company. I may say, in connection with this, that I got the fore finger f my right hand so badly sprained the other day that I am not able to wield a pen very gracefully, and must therefore make this week's letter short. The first day of May (Sunday) opened up here most splendiferouly." Tbe blossoms are f-hining freshly on the trees and every thing looks lovely. Rob Rot. Carboixtown, May 2, 1870. Dear Freeman Local items are hard to gather in this section just now. During the week we had a visit from a "gentleman and scholar" who is slightly de mented in mind and sadly demoralized in attire. He pretended, or rather told the silly story, that be had been hunting deer and had lost bis enn. torn hia r.lntiiint to shreds, etc., in the vain attempt to capture one. He is certainly a man of fine educa tion, but, alas! a slave to the flowing bowl. Aspirants for political preferment are be ginning to Bob around quite promiscuously, and of course they ara all glad to see how well the dear people look, how they are pros pering, etc., and are particularly pleased of course when they receive assurances of sup port. Go in, office seekers, and may the best meu win ! If any congregation you wot of can sur pass ours in the matrimonial business, just let us have its name and location. We "have had an average of three weddings a week since Lent closed, and there is no tolling how many more will t ccur before tbe contagion has beeu finally overcome. Our farmers are taking advantage of the favorable weather, and the result is that old Mother Earth is getting herself into the same old scrape that invariably brings furrows to her dirty face every spring-time at least. The indications are that more than the usual amount of seed will be sown in this section the present spring. In my notice last week of improvements going on in our midst, I neglected to men tion a large brick dwelling house commenced by Mr. Benjamin Wertner. I regret to state that our people are tem porarily deprived of the spiritual ministra tions of their revered Prior, Father Benno. who is absent in the city seeking relief for his eyes, which have been fast failing him for Eome time past. We all hope for his speedy relief and early return. Yesterday, the first of May, dawned bright ann gloriously. Undr the pastoral charge ad interim of Father Sweibert, May devo tions were inaugurated with more than the Gscal ceremonies, the Brass Band aiding the churr -on the occasion. " E. Johnstown, May 2, 1870. -Der Freeman It would almost seem as if Spring had been dropped from the calen der of 1870, so r?idly have we passed from continued snow aud rain to almost tropical heat. It is seldom, indted, that so gteat a change takes 7lace In one month. Up to April Cth the character of winter was fully maintained ; since which period an entire change has takeD place. The average tem perature for March was a little over 32 de crees for April it was over 52 degrees. The season, although a late one, is advancing very rapidly, and our fruit trees are bright with abundance of bloom. Rhubarb, 'Onions, Spinach and Leeks, of out door culture, were in our market on Saturday, April SO. to gether with fine Lettuce raised in hot-beds. It will thus be observed that cur industrious gardeners are providing for bodily comfort along with the'eheering influence of Spring upon the mind. Rain for April, 2.1 inches; snow, 2 inches. Highest temperature, on the 24th, of 80 de grees lowest, on the 4th, cf 80 degrees. W. L. A. Wc have ransacked our brain in the effort to find words that will jingle, but can bring few to mind ; but soch as we've found e propose to employ in telling to each man, woman and boy, that goods without end, the richest and best, that ever were bouglt in the easL or the west, can always found, in the grandest array, at Shoemaker's cheap store, just over the way. Their spring stock compri ses all styles, qualities and textures, end as for prices they never have been and never in tend to be undersold in this bailiwick. If you doubt this, go and be convinced. Crawling Up. The price of gold, as will be seen by quotations elsewhere, is crawling up again, and of course all mer chantable commodities will go with it. As long as the present stock of goods at Davis' popular store in the East Ward holds out, however, the p eople hereaway will not have to stand any advance in prices. Now is the right time to buy. though, and Mr. Davis the right man to buy from. ITeartrendingt. We thus 'condense a soul harrowing story going the rouuds : Man and wife man went away printer sent bill wifo opened it husband returned found wife in tears scone brute dishon est man don't pay for paper go to Indi ana divorce husband settles up wife all smiles grand finale rushing into each others erms moral always pay for your paper. Good Bread is the one essential artN cle which no man, woman or child is willing to dispense with, and unless it is to be found on the table, the other victuals seem almost unpalatable. Good bread cannot of course be made without good flour an article which can be bought at all times and at tbe lowest. price from E. J. Mills, the only exclusive flour and feed dealer in Ebensburg. Ho better flour than he keeps can be found anywhere. What They Sat. What everybody says is generally admitted to be true, arid everybody who is anybody, and has been there to see, tells everybody else who hasn't been' there, that it is worth any one's while to go and see how nicely Mr. Evans has hi commo dious Photograph Rooms on High street fitted up and arranged, and how well he is prepared to execute the most superb pictures iu fine style and at the lowest rates. Just the Thing George Huntley has at last secured the very thing which lumber men and sawyers have been looking for this many a day. . What it is will be learned by reading his advertisement in another column. Mr. Huntley i? always looking out for the best of everything in his line, and when a man buys anything from him be may be suro he is getting an article that will give satisfaction. A Good Joke. The best joke of the season would be lor about fourteen hundred people, more or less, to flock into the low priced cash store of V. S. Barker and buy an armful each of the splendid cheap goods of all kinds which be has on exhibition and sale. It would be a sensible joke, and the jokers cou'd make a nice thing of it bv saving lota of money. Try it. What to Sat. "Shoo, fly ! Bhoo, fly!" is what you should cry, if any person should try to shut up your eye by telling you why you shouldn't go bey all goods, wet and dry, at tbe store kept by Fry ; for on this you cau tely, that no man, far or nigh, keep's a larger supply or sells as good goods lor less money than tbe aforesaid A. G. Fry. Scmmer Cloihes. Summer has come, and with summer comes 6ummer clothes, for the people of Somerset, Cambria,, or any other county, at Mayer's clothing store, To. 214 Opera Hou3e, Main street, Johnstown.

A man who could not suit himself in a fashiona ble Bummer hat at N. 227 Main street, Johns town, should not have a hat at all. They certainly have a choice lot of hats and gents' furnishing goods of all kinds. Caps also, first quality. Large hats and small ones black hats and white ones good hata and better ones at No. 227 Main street. Leopold & Hkother have anticipated the season, and laid in a good stock of sum mer clothing at No. 241 Main street, Johns town, where any reasonable persoD can find pick and choire, as cheap as was ever offered in market. They have summer clothing of all shades and colors and for all uea and clas?e3 The farmer needs something that will stand the wear and tear. t hile others need something lighter. Leopolds have both. J ohn J. MtnriiT, at Dibert's old cor ner. Main and Franklin streets. Johnstown, is still running the large and popular dry goods store, that attracts so much attention, north, south, east and west. A very large amount of goods are sold every day and eent to different families, towns, aud counties. Murphy cer tainly has cheap dry goods, from ribbons to carpets. The reader should not fail to give him a call when in that place. Mr. Carroll has now an immense stock of dry goods at No. 215 Main street, Johnstown. We never saw a more brilliant array of fabrics for summer wear. He is sell in? light goods r.iniclv iust now. and i3 laving then n just as rapidly. 1 hose who call to see Mr. Carroll will not go away disappointed, for he has many choice goods to dispose of at extremely low prices. He keeps jmt on the orposite side of tte 6trcet from the Opera House. Farmers are beginning to purchase summer hats-and coats for the boys. Wliere shall they go ? To James J. Murphy, Oh! for that's the place you know ; he ha3 a' perfect show of goods of that kind. Put on new sum mer wear, and then you will have the old clothes to pat up in the cornfields to scare away the crows. Put on light clothes to woik in ; ou will feel better. Buy them at James J.
