Some of our citizen nre talking of leaving

party went out to Nebraska on the lt;th of Mav

Workmen are now engaged in raising the dam

trhti(t Mac Within the past week death has
removed from among us two aged citizens anil
long residents in tlie persons of Mr. Jas. O'Neill,
of Summerlu'll township, and Mr. Lawrence
Cussiday, of Wilttiore licrougli, both of whom
died Tin Fridav last. May their immortal spirits
lind rest eternal-. . .
Tho election in his township on Saturday,
relating to the mode of makimr future nomina
tions, did not excite much Interest, feari-ely one
fourth of the Democratic, voters of the town
ship having participated. 'This should not have
been so. Every Democrat should have given
expression to his sentiment in the proper w.ty.
lt is very strange that h large portion of the
peopie should manifest so much indifference
about one of the most important duties of a
citizen that of determining the best means for
securing the nomination of good men for oilice.
On this the welfare of the party depends, and
yet voters will remain away from dvlefcate elec
tions and the like, and afterwards become dis
satislied with the results plainly brought about
by their own lukewarmuess and folly, forget
ting that the fault lies with themselves entirety
anu only.
The coming fall election should excite mo,-o
than the usual infresf, especially in the choice
of a representative who will consult the rights
and wishes of the people. No man should be
entrusted with that important duty whose po
sition and antifcdents might leave him open to
even the suspicion of being favorable to the
plundering schemes of corporations rather than
the interests of the peoj-ie.
Oiirlncnd Mr. William Doran.asmost of your
readers ore doubles a wan, is an aspirant for
the office of bin ritf for the ensiling term, and
among alt the candidates named fi.rthat posi
tion, 1 do not think there is one more competent
or more deserving the favorable consideration
of the Democracy of Cambria. He has been an
earnest worker in the cause of the party fr a
number of years, and has done more for the
success of Democratic principles in ihis county
than any other man in litis section. He is also
one of seven vot"'i-s in the same family, all of
whom have invariably used their votes and in
fluence in be'mlfof the same cause, and who
urc abundantly rude to give all the security re
quired. Aside from this, the township of Stim
merhili has not lurlan office ir candidate for ton
or twel ve years, nnd then only one of minor im
portance. The people here fool that their claims
and the claims vf their candidate rc as good as
as those of any other people or candidate, Tmd
his selection as one of our standard-bearers in
the Coming contest will do much towards secu
ring an m liusinstic support of the ticket here
aways and dispelling tUe impression which pre
vails among many that no account, of their ser
vices to the party is taken into consideration by
the leading Democratic politicians ni the coun
ty when it comes to selecting candidates.
Hoping ttiat the nominations, when made,
will prove entirely satisfactory toa'l. I remain
the sincere friend of the welfare of the Demo
cratic party. Sulrtuo.

have been reiterated by May, and the season
progresses with almost tropical warmth and
benignity. The mercury has not boon as low
as -the freezing point since the sixth day of
April the temperature of the seasou advancing
with each succeeding day while genial showers
have duly refreshed the growing crops. Al
though tlie season of growth was late commenc
ing, vcgetationlluis attaint!, at the time of writ
ing, a growth scarcely paralleled by the famous
season of l.s.V., prior to the frost. The grape
vines have made a growth of frnm four to six
feet, ami the delicious odor of their opening
liowers is beirinning to float on tlie balmy air.
The average temperature for May was c-1.5 de
grees ; lowest, on May i'.ith, of ilO degrees. Kit in
fall for the month, 4.5 inches. Total rain for
tlie vear so f'ar, 3) inches.
Before closing, and without the desire to be
considered a croaker, I would still suggest the
possibility of.ji reverse of thw season. My rea
son for thinking so is this: We know that
northward of us snow aud ice continually pre
vail, ami that the cold air of these arctic regions
is heavier than the warmer air of our more fa
vored clime. A long continued season of
warmth here may cause such an upward cur
rent ns to create a comparative vacuum, afford
ing room for the colder air north of us, which
will flow as quickly as an unrestrained Hood
from the regions of snow and ice-, and thus pro
duce results as disastrous as the great frost of
1S.VJ. We hope, however, for a continuance of
our present most genial season. W. L. A.

A line rKlnliliiliment.-The newly fltVed
up store room of Messrs. M. L. Outm.ui & Co.
is reailv an lienor to our town, and since tlie in
troduction into it of the m-.iinnioth stock of
superb goods of every desert p! ion.Svith which it
is at present tilled toovertlowing, it hs become
the great centre of attraction for those who ad
mire it perfect stock and fair, hottest prices.--Oatinaii
& Co. are taking the lead in the mer
cantile race, and are bound to win their way tr
a more extended and extensive patronage, and
thev have the rfrht kind of Koms, and plenty
of them to see them through in thb enterprise
i At the battle of Spottsylvania Court House,
in MaV, lM. Mr. Geo. W. Brown had the mis
fortune to stand in the way of a minnie bail,
tired from a rebel riCe, ami the result was that
the ball became imbedded in the fleshy part of
the left leg. where it remained until one? day
last week, (affording Mr. B. at times no little
pain and inconvenience,) when it was extracted
bv Dr. Evans, of this place, after having worked
it's way almost to the surface of the skin. Mr.
H designs to preserve the ball as a memento of
his shave in the "late unpleasantness."
lvervo!ii n Frrmimti. Our accomplished
photograph artist, Mr. T. K. Evans, has gone to
Cleveland to attend the National Photograph
convention, and lias taken with him several
specimens of his work, among them an excellent
liorcehiin picture of.our townsman, K. L.Johns
ton, Esq., which cannot fail to attract general
admiration and should not fail to secure a pre
mium. Mr. Evans' rooms here will be open
during li is abseu co and under the charge of a
good artist.
The LTollidnvsburg Stnndnrd says It Is ru

!ir Fmnian-Well, while at New York we
went to Booth's Theatre. Clarke, thecomedian,
was the attraction. He is a brother-in-law of
J. Wiikcs Booth, the assassinator of Lincoln,
and becu'wsc he wfts his brothe-ln-law, was in du
sanec rife for a considerable length of time. But
he was finally 4-eleased, and came out funnier
than ever. lie was, at the time of our visit, the
chief attraction on the New York board. 1 Iwg
your Susquehanna and Chest and Bliifc readers
not to confound this term "board" with any
"lumbering ideas of their own. I saw no real
board in New York thev only exist In a figura
tive sense, as the Board of Trade, the Board Of
Health, &c., among which are tho theatrical
boards. t .
Well, w e went to Booths! Clarke ciVne out in
two pieces not divide! but in two different
performances, lie has a tine appreciation of
the ludicrous. He acted "Toodles" so well up
to nature as Toodles drunk, that I should have
been very highly amused if I had not, by acci
dent, tin one occasion, at Ebensburg, seen a man
lectin drunk.
The next night We Went to the Fiftli Ave
hue Theatre. "Frou-Frou," a tragic, sensation
al performance was the attraction. This piece
is brought upon the stage mainly to exhibit the
finest goods and latest fashions of upper tendoni
in New York. Still, as a tragic production, the
play has merits. Near the close of tho fifth act,
where the heroiije dies in the most heartrending
manner possible, I felt a briny current coursing
down my manly checks, and found the cheeks
of my young lady friend similarly sulTtiNod
When, looking at tbtj botToni'of 1 he bill, I found
that "F'"ou-l-'rou" could not be su dead as she
seemed to be, as she was to apptar again in tlie
same character the next veni'ii-sr. Whereupon
myself and my fair friend "dried up."
Went afterwards to sec the public end privHte
institutions about the neighborhood of Wall
fctrect. Passed unharmed among the "bulls and
bears" of that interesting locality and foend
m sell inside of an Inine Asylum.
A few days previously I had vtsited Kirk
bride's Asylum at West Philadelphia and w as
desirous of contrasting' these benefieient insti
tutions of the rival cities. 1 found the advant
age greatly in favor of tire Philadelphia Asy
lum, in which Cue most perfei t order reigns a
quietness and decorum thnt mieht be imitated
to great advantage by our Radical Congress. In
the New York Institution things were quite
different. A degree of wild frenzy, to which
no term so well applies as that "of "crazy,"
seemed to Pvssess all tho unhappy inmate.
The man whom I .supposed to be tneir keeper,
was protected from their f ury by an iron rail
ing ; and instead of the soft, persuasive tones of
Dr. Kirkbride, lie addressed the lunatics in an
angry voice, and enforced their vociferations
by the use of a wooden mallet, which he fre
quently brought down with great force on the
table before him. We passed to another room,
where the scene wa still more fearful and
heartrending. My own brain almost reeled, a
feeling of fuintiiess came over me and I hur
ried from the building. My chaper
on e, amused at my alarm and excitement, gave
me sonic valuable information. "My dear Mac,"
said he. "youJive not been in a mad house, but
in the Stock i.vchange ami Gold Room. And
the bid of tho veriest seeming maniac iu that
infuriated crowd, controls tin- gold or the stock
market of the ITnitcd States. From this build
ing all the bankers mid brokers iu New York
take their cue from this building is Hie stock
and gold market of the United States regula
ted.". It wuseven ho. I merely ejaculated a short
sentence from some part of Ui ine inspiration.
tov.il: "These be thy Coils, oh! Israel:" and
behold I was again myself, MacSiiane,
Tlie Old f stem. Tho democrats of this
county, at their special election vn Saturday
last, determined to stick to tlie old method of
making nominations, having heard no doubt
that George 11 u kit ley still keeps on in his "4d
and popular system of doing business, and be
ing desirous of following so commendable an
example. We hope our political friends will be
ns well satisfied with the workings of this sys
tem as the many hundreds of pople who bay
their hardware, qe'eenswarc, groceries, and
other goods at Mr. Huntley's renowned aud low
priced heavy stocked house-furnishing estab
lishment. Two ItciiaovnlK. While some of the South
ern eJ1u-mit.tx are going in heavy on the remo
val of the county seat, the people hereaway
content themselves with removing goods from
the mammoth cheap cash store of' H. A. Shoe
maker - Co., alter having of course bought
and paid for them, which customers lind to be
no hard matter, considering that they sell
everything so wonderluliy cheap. We move
that till seeking good bargains move at once on
the Shoemaker store and help to remove the
choice goods which they are soiling at lowest
'rices.
TJie ItfTcrciice. It is given as a somewhat
remarkable circumstance, "that the Inter ild
Sol. tlfvuiH of nature. i ores to rest t he earlier

morning. Not sowiiii the mm of men, whose
proclivities are f(uiiethe reverse. Yet Old Sol

duced by the choice family Hour aUvays'to be
bought at lowest prices lrom K. .1. Miiis, the
extensive hour and Iced leab;r down street,
whose fame, like h'.s flour, Is bound to rise.
Xot Triic.-Tiic report that Van Amburg's
lug elephant intend to bring his trunk full of
new goods for the renowned cheap store of A.
G. Fry, on High stree-t, lacks confirmation, and
we have reason to believe that the story is un
true. Mr. Fry gets his goods in a more expedi
tious manner, and would think nothing of sell
ing forty trunks full of goods belore the
elephant would nave time to get ills trunk un
packed. Come and see the elephant, if you will,
lint go and see Mr. Fry's big sroek; ai,i buy a
bill of goods belore you do unyliiing else.
Don't Relieve I( If anybody should tell
you that the Johnstown agitator.' intend to buy
out Kbensburg, "lock, stock and barrel," hud
remove new jail, court house and all to that
favored spot at the foot of the hill, wo wouldn't
advise you to believ e it any more than we would
advise you to t-etieve ui-it a prett'er stock of
clock?, watch., jewelry, and fancy goo Is, or a
larger assortment of cigars, smoking tobacco,
stationery, etc. can fie found any whet e than at
the new ly fitted up and greatly cu!are3 store

JamcslJ. Murphy, No. 10U Clinton srreet, Johns
town. One could not say positively which is
the most beautiful, but the clothing is decided
ly the most useful. Mr. Murphy has choice
clothing. This is no brag, but a simple, self
evident, fact a self-evident truth that can
be proved, demonstrated and ratified by going
there and purchasing a suit of superb summer
ch ithing ot water proof, asbestos, and fire proof.
This proof is proved.
X V. Carroll, opposite the theatre, Mriin
street, Johnstown, keeps ail kinds of excellent
dry goods and groceries. Mr. Carroll offers rare
inducements to purchasers. He keeps new
styles of goods. He keeps choice groceries.
lie has neat fancy goods. He is ready and will

Bau.oc'S Monthly. "Out of sight out of

delay in noticing it. Of course if it was not a
work of great merit no one would Ihink worth

BEE HIVE.
The undersigned has secured letters pMent
of the United -rtates, dated Decenil er 14. 18'!),
for an iniprovenieiit iu the constreciioti of lJeo
Hives, and claims fur his iiiveiition a h niitngei
possessed by no othir heretofore piit.ntfd.
The principrtl feature of f'sia Pee liiic is tiro
arrangement by tnennsof iVh'ch it is iho.-miav.
ly ventilitted, thus precluding the pes-i'oilu y of
the bees smothering, '.he con h moulding; or'tha
honey souring. This ciesirtible end is accom
plished by a verticil petlornt'd time, runnirg
centrally IhroUf h tlie hire and opeh at t'n'e top
and bottom. All persors in'crested in i-picul-tare
will fit once see the r.reat advnntiipos se
cured ir. tliis mprovemeiit. The ventilutoi U
for the increase of bees.
The peculiar construction of the bos. partic
ularly in the arrangement nf te ini?Fr com
partments, whereby it enh be denned nt any
time without distjibing the bees, is ai.other
valuable itnpiovemeijt which will be ol-viou
to any lecun who examiuts ihi Hire. An
exaaiii-ulioti of the workings ol the bees or the
condition of the interior can be n:sdo at. nny
time, as tlie slics are c;isfd with claps. Bees
can be trasfrrred front a di.Tereiit hive to the
improved ore without any d;!Iicu!'y whatever.
It would require too much yp.,ce to cmimeratb
litre all the advantages claimed in this inven
tion, hut full ir.formaiioii wid be promptly fur
nished by applying in person or by letter to th
patentee. 1 am now jrepared to dispose ot
territory fir the sale of the Improved Beeliivd
in any portion of the United States.
