To impress more forcibly npon the minds of
the listeners the many rounded periods of these
resolutions, the lone delegate irom the aixth
ward of J ohnstown requested that they be read
once more. Lone delegate from Franklin was
of the opinion that they were read noutrh and
and should beell understood, when Barnes cut
short the discussion by moving that a candi
date for Assembly be now placed in nomination.
AT' oodrua. of Johnstown, It. H. Brown
of Cresson and D. McLaughlin, of Johu8town!
were aeveraUy suggested, as was also the town
ehip of YV bite. 1 he enthusiastic delegate from
Summerhill who made this last suggestion was
so overcome with the effort that he forgot the
principal part of his story, but somebody came
to h;s rescue by hinting the came of Geo. Wal
ters, of White, and ilr. W. was thereupon de
clared to be the man the -delegate was seeking
for. Mr. Brown declined permitting his name
to bo used, alleging that he was not in sympa
thy with the cause and did not wish to become
identified with it in any shape. Mr. McLaugh
lin also withdrew his name, not because of a
lack of sympathy on his part, but probably be
cause he leared.the people would not manifest
enough sympathy lor him to secure his election.
Mr. Walters having no friend present to with
draw his name, and Mr. Woodruff not wishing
anything of thut kind to be done iu his behalf,
the convention proceeded to a ballot, which
resulted in 43 delegates voting for Woodruff
and the casting of the vote of one delegate from
Cambria borough, two from Chest Springs, one
from Jackson, and the lone OnA ffArn Plana.

Held in lavor of Mr. Walters. Th r,r.mtr.,;rt
ol VVoodruff was thereupon made unanimous.
The Chairman having announced as next in
order the nomination of a County Commis
sioner, Messrs. Walters and Gates, of White
tp., Skelly ol Summerhill, and E. D. Evans,
of Wilmore. were resnectivplv cinxracKxi '
Vote stood : Walters 27, Gates 13, Skelly'?,
Evans 3. So Mr. George Walters was de
clared the uominee.
Hi nm Frits , of Susquehanna tp., was unani
mously nominated for Poor House Director and
William Flattery, of Johnstown, for Coroner.
Mr. Elder now arose to say that "there was
still an office which it was the policy of the
law to fulfil," but Mr. Elder doubtless forgot
that it is not "the policy of the law" to permit
two consecutive terms by re electing the same
incumbent for the second time. He moved,
however, that James Cooper, the present in
cumbent, be the uominee for Jury Commis
sioner, and the Convention unanimously sec
onded his motion.
For Auditor the names of Henry "Walters
and Peter El mire, both of Summerhill. were
proposed. Mr. Walters received 29 votes and
Mr. Elmire ii). Immediately alter his nomi
nation Mr. Walters came forward and respect
fully declined the questk liable honor, but the
Convention did not seem to take any notice of
his wishes.
It was now proposed that Gen. Totts address
the Convention, but a gentleman from the 2d
ward of Johnstown, wanted to know- why a
caudidaie foi Sheriff was not nominated. Con
hiderable confusion was creuteJ some persocs
shouting that the traiu had arrived Barnes
and others shouting themselres hoarse for
Potts and the Chairman and Secretary trjin
by persujsive eloquence to pacify the indignant
seeker after information. A crisis hud at
length been precipitated upon the Convention
for which the "ring" were totally unprepared,
but Mr. Elder commenced a labored explana
tion, during which he stated that he had con
sulted with several leading Democrats in
Johnstown and they advised him that it would
be impolitic to noruiuate a candidate, as they
w ould thus imperil their cause among a certain
nationality there. McLaughlin proposed that
the "census" of the Convention be taken, and
the leaders of the "ring" were gratified to ob
terve that their lash was potent, as a majority
of the delegates voted against a nomination for
that office.
Gen. Totts appeared in response to reiterated
calls, but his speech did not occupy more than
one minute of time. He said that fur reasons
which has been explained in his card of with
drawal he was forced to retire from the cam
paign. and ihe state of his health did not prr-
him to exert himself unnecessarily or ' '
Elder then moved that a vole of thank
tendered to the proprietors of the Moain
House for use of buildiug, and the same gen
tleman moved an adjournment. As there was
still some show of dissatisfaction in con e
quence of the action of the Convention iu re
gard to the vacancy in their ticket, the an
nouncement was made that if it was considered
necessary, the executive committee could meet
and place a candidate in nomination.
Doubts existed in the minds of many as to
whether Mr. Woodruff would accept the nom-
uation which was onered bim. All such
doubts were, however, expelled on Saturday
evening. About 8 o'clock a hired band was
brought to his office, and after playing for a
few minutes, Mr. v . made his appearance.
He thanked the gentlemen present lor tender
ing him the nomination and thought that they
might have secured some worthier man, but
iuce it was forced npon him he would accept,
etc. A. Kopelin followed bim in a few con
gratulatory remarks upon the available candi
date they had secured. McLaughlin next
mounted the box, but a rain storm could not
more effectually hare dispersed the crowd.

We attended the Removal Convention at Cres
son on Saturday, but saw there such a delega
tion of the corps editorial and roportorial that
we deem it quite unuoceary to report the pro
ceeding, thougru there were some rich and racy
incidents which could be amplified to side-t-piit-tinjr
narratives. We leave the fiiiishinj? strokes
of this sublime drama to Mac, or Todd, or Sku
Hal, or Hhoo Fly, or Coueinnujrh, or Tom, or
Looiih, and procecl to other matters.
We Lave something to sav about our wild-cat
water. We havo often mentioned the fact that
ve have the best water-works in tho State, but
we never before thought of rrferrinjr to the
healthful qualities of t he wator Itself. Our own
experience is that soft water is more healthful
than hard water thoux-h the latter may be more
palatable. Our health and that of our family
has; been much better sine, uning- the wild
cat water exclusively. While it mav tost a lit
tle more than well water, we firmly believe that
more than the extra expense will be saved in
the prevention of sickness.
Last week was a jrala week here. There wore
nearly a dozen of pic-nics, and then MacEvov's
Ilibernieon, or Irish Illustrations, at Union Iliill
added much to the amusements; and although
money is exceedingly scarce, sufficient was
raised to contribute a total outlay of not less
than one thousand dollars in the short space of
one week for am laments alone.
The Good Will Hose. Hook and Ladder Com
pany have asked the Borough Council for an
outfit, costing- about twenty-live hundred dol
lars. They have certainly as g-ood a right to an
outfit as the Assistance Fire Company, yet we
seriously doubt whether the borough needs ei
ther tire companies or fire plugrf. A common
hose with nozzle attached to an ordinary hy
drant will throw the water over any house In
town, the fall being seventy teet, and we doubt
whether our borough can stand tho expense of
paying $500 for each nre plug, and pay for tquip-
of my own observation that rvery arrangement
lias bwn made in and about the beaottf ul grove
to secure tho comfort and enjoyment of all who
favor the festivities with their presence. As to
the refreshments and amusementa that will be
afforded on the occasion, the well known hospi
tality and experience in slieh matters of tho
good people of the neighborhood will serve as
a suflicient guarantee. But to return to my
subject. The village of St. Nicholas is situated
on a level plnue commanding a view Of several
miles iu every direction, and, as I hare already
said, is within fix miles of Carrolltown. The
land in tho vicinity is of the finest quality for
agricultural purposes. The village itself has a
fine church, well liiiished and tastefully built
and decorated, and what is equally creditable,
is almost out of debt tho payment of the little
amount remaining being the object of the com
ing picnic, which, it i3 to be hoped, will fully
accomplish the laudable purpose. In addition
to the church edifice, there are a number of
neat and comfortable private dwellings, black
smith shops, shoemaker shops, stores, etc., with
Jlenty of room left for more of the puuie sort,
.ast, but not least, there is an excellent hotel
nt St. Nicholas, conducted and owned by Mr.
Nicholas Lambour, and without fear of success
ful contradiction, I hazard the assertion that
there is no better kept or regulated hotel any
where in the country, liesidcs these, I learn
from reliable sources that the lumber is already
cut for some four or five new dwelling houses
which are to be erected next Spring, and tho
probabilities are that within a lew ywars the
present, village or nt. in leuoins will DO a town or
no 6mall dimensions and enterprise. The only !
thing that struck me as unaccountable during
my visit is the fact that there is no post-office
at St. Nicholas, although distant some six miles
from the nearest oliice, and located on the di
rect route to Strongstown, Indiana county a
place which enjoys postal facilities, notwith
standing the fact that it does not enjoy one-fifth
of tho business prosperity that is vet in storo
for St. Nicholas. The citizens of tho latter vil
lage should endeavor to secure a post-office at
that point. i.

Dear Frreman Nothing transplrina- near homo
worthy of the attention of a corroFpomlent of
your excellent paper, I must write of things
transpiring at a distunce. A somewhat ludi
crous occurrence took place, not a hundred
miles from hei, a few days since. It was re
ported that a dead body was found in the woods,
and net) r it a large pocket-book, rifled of its
contents, was discovered; therefore, in all
probability, a foul murder had been committed.
I'he proper official was notified of the facts,
who promptly repaired to the place for the
purpose of holding an inquest, agreeablv to the
Act of Assembly in such cases made and provi
ded. As the ease appeared to be a serious one,
and the country where the horrid deed had been
perpetrated was but sparsely settled, the wor
thy official touk with him from the villages on
tho road, some of the most intelligent citize ns,
to serve as jurors in the case. Arrived at the
locality where it wn alleged the tragic scene
had been enacted, dilligent search was made for
the body ; but, judge of the surprise and aston
ishment of that august inquest of '-good and
lowful men," when, instead of the bi'f.ly, they
found only the fjirit and some old clothing.
The spirit, though apparently free from its
earthly tenement, whs confined within the nar
row compass of an old glass bottle. The "grand
inquest," wisely concluding that such objects
were not lit subject for theu.- w ise delibera
tions, did not diltigently iuovdro into the mat
ter, but repaired to a nu'b boring village, where
a large of (wood; ruffians had assembled,
with an ample supply of tipirifs, for the purpose
of devising ways and means for removing the
ancient lundmarks and sites of the countj-.

The Cambria Iron Company have been estop
ped from making a track along the Couemaugh
river at the Conemaugh borough line. Why
this is so we do not know, but certain it is that
if we had property there we would thank that
Company for making an embankment of cinder
between the river and our land. Ice-lioods in
the Conemaugh damage the property along that
river more or less every year, while this cinder
track would form a complete barrier against
both ice and water floods. Besides, we under
stand that if the said Company get the right of
way along the river they will abandon Portage
street and remove their track. We may not
understand the issue fully, but think that no
better thing could bo done for Conemaugh bor
ough than to have the property adjacent to the
river protected from the direful effects of Ice
and water Uoods.
There was a Removal ratification meeting
held on the Public Square on Saturday night.
The Band was out and speeches were mado by
Messrs. Woodruff, Kopeiin and McLaughlin.
The Conemaugh borough authorities are hav
ing Railroad street and a portion of Adams
street paved. No streets in the borough needed
paving worse than these two. Wo hope thut
the good work will continue.
The Pacific Express train happens to carry the
mail and the daily papers past this point every
Monday moruiug, to the great detriment of our
news-dealers aud business men. We do not un
derstand the cause of this. Maybe no one is at
the station to receive the mail at that time. If
so the mater should be attended to.

Our borough councils have recognized female
suffrage, and In doing so have performed a very
commendable act by appointing Mrs, Geo. W .
McDowell to fill the position of Market Master,
made vacant by the death of her husband. This
Is an innovation certainly, but one 1 think that

Altoosa City, Aug. 23, 1870.
Friend Mae Those ministering angels, the
Sisters of Charity, to the number of seven or
eight, took possession of their magnificent Con
vent building in tnU city on Saturday evening
last. Some of the good ladies connected with
the church gave thciuu most gracious and no
doubt welcome reception, on their arrival here
from Cincinnati, by having in readiness a most
excellent supper, at which ail the delicacies of
the season were served in bountiful profusion.
Figuratively speaking, the table fairly groaned
under the weight of the luscious viands, and the
agreeable surprise was no doubt fully appreci
ated by the good Sisters, fatigued and jaded as
they were by their long journey. Iu this con
nection I may slate that the school uuder their
charge will be opened at as early a day as possi
ble, and no one needs to be assured of the high
character of an educational institution under

Shocking Railbod Accident. Two lads
named McHugh and Burns, sons (if we are
rightly iuformed) of Mr. Cbas. McHugh and
Mr. l eter Burns, residing at GaluUin, this
county, were struck by a ballast train west on
Tuesday morning of this week, and one of
them was instantly killed and the other so ter
ribly injured that be cannot possibly survive if
be is not dead ere this. I be accident occurred
near Gallitzin, and was the result of thought
leeanesa on part of the boya themselves, and
could not have been foreaeeu or prevented by
any one connected with the train. The lads
were stauding on the track watching an ap
oroacbine stoMc train , when the ballast train
came up in an opposite direction ana struck
them both with the result stated. Another
lad named Howell was with them at the time,
but had presence of mind enough to throw
himself down between the two tracks, and thua
escaped injury. The unfortunate youths were
oclv some ten or twelve years of age. Their
: . ... , ,
bodies were shockingly mangieo.

Carrolltown, Aug. 22, 1870.
near Freeman On Wednesday of last week
about the hour of noon, our town was alarmed
by the cry of fire. In a few moments the start
ling truth became mauifest that tho hotel of
Mr. D. Eger, known as the Mountain House,
had caught fire from a spark from the Hue,
which had alighted on the roof and communica
ted tire to the suingies. A. lew momenw or en
ergetlc work, however, put a stop to the flames
and the community once more breathed freer.
This being the-seeond time that the rear build-
in it ot this hotel nas caugnt nre. Jir. r-ger. witn
commendable earnestness, determined that it
should bo tho last, and immediately razed the
Rtructure to the ground. He is now pusnm
forward with energy the erection of a new rear
addition to his hotel, and will ere long be better
rrenared than ever to entertain his numerous
natrons and guests. In tho meantime he has
still room enough to accommodate all who sock
abetter unaer nis nosmtabie root
The bricklayers are about commencing work
on the handsome and substantial private rest
donee of Mr. Benj. Wertner. When completed
there will be few finer or more comfortable ed
ifices than that of Mr. W.s in the county, and I
may add that po more hospitable family lives

With v-our permission, dear Freeman, I will
now betake myself to the charming little vil
logo of St. Nicholas, six miles west of Carroll
town, and invite your readers to Join me in f

place, however, I will Inform you that on Tues
day of next week, Aug. 30th, there is to be a plo

A Fossil Footprint. T. J. Chapman, M. A.,
editor of tho Teachers' Adrocatr, thus pleasant
ly describes, in the issue of that journal for
Septembe r, a fossil footprint to be found in a
block of Etoue forming part of a culvert on the
Branch road and within a short distance of Eb
eusburg. This remarkable footprint has exci
ted a great deal of wonder and speculation, and
we feel sure that Mr. Chapman's description of
it will be perused with interest by all our read
ers. Here it is iu full :
Every school boy that has read Robinson Cru
soe, aud what school boy bus not read the ad
ventures of that "ancient mariner"? will al
ways remember the lively curiosity with which
that unfortunate gentleman regarded the soli
tary footprint which he discovered on the shore
of his lonely island. It is with some such curi
osity that the observer regards the footprint
which forms the subject of this sketch. It is to
be seen on the upper surface of a block of stone
that is built into a culvert on the Ela-nsburg
and Cresson ruilroad, in Cambria county, Penn
sylvania. The footprint is plainly that of a gigantic
human being. It is the impression of the left
loot, and measures Just fifteen inches in length,
six inches in breadth across t he ball of the foot,
aud four inches in breadth just under the in
step. Now, if the foot of a man six feet high
should measure ten inches in length, in the
same ratio the hight of this person was nine
lvjve t-21'cight of
.,uJmu,.,:,l. , !,... II""
The foot thut made tnis ihiViossioir '.S5ftro-
tocted by somethiu covering. At the toe, the
hicknets ot the sole oi this article may be? dis-
inctly seen. It seems to have been about the
one-fourth of an incli thick. That this sole was
soft and pliable is evident from the fact that it
has allowed tue earth underneath to conform to
he shape of the loot. Lnder the ltistru ia a
slight swell, like that which is made by stepping
uto the sol t moist ground ln a pliable-, thiu-
soled slimier. The entire impression is most
terfectly formed and leaves no question that it
was made by a human foot, protected by a thin
covering. At the right side of the heel and a
little back of it, there Is an indentation like
that made sometimes when one walks through
the soft yielding ground us though the foot
hud been shuuled into its place. At the toe isa
slight shelving under, as when one slips for
ward a little after "putting his foot down."
The ground over which the individual walked
when he left his footprint to bo wondered at in
our day, was not mud, but a line, wet, white
sand, if it had beeu mud. a creature of such
great weight would have sunk several inches
into it ; this impression is only about an inch iu
depth, i he surface ot tnc rock around the
footprint, is marked with such flight indenta
tions us heavy drops of rain sometimes leave
upon a soft sandy surface ; there are no marks
ot raiii drops in the footprint itself.
The rock Into which tnat soft wet sand has
hardened is a solid, close grained grit, stained
in places by the red oxide of iron, and with
seams running through it of the same color, as
though a part of it had been deposited in fer
ruginous water, xno ioorprint ana ine rocK
mav furnish a text for some American Hugh
Miller to enlarge upon.

A Deseuved Eulogy. Although the follow
ing complimentary notice of our young friend
Patrick Doran, which we clip from the last
Johnstown Tribune, may have been prompted
by a desire to influence the votes of that ster
ling Democratic family in favor of the removal
iniquity, it is none the less truthful or none the
less deserved oecause open to tnai suspiciou
We recc!ntlv had the pleasure of making the
acquaintance of Mr. Patrick Doran, one of t he
most skillful and efficient engineers on the
Pennsylvania Railroad. This gentleman and a
twin brother have been running as passenger
engineers for a number of years, and stand high
with the Railroad officials for competency and
reliahllit v. A short time Hiro Patrick conveyed
thn Pui-iHr- P.tnrmn from Pittsburgh tO AltOO-
na in the incredible short space of two hours
and flfty-uiue minutes. The entire distance is
118 miles, and he was compelled to stop once for
ir.itor. hut. hfiilicirt'H he could have made the
distance several minutes sooner, if allowed.
This is the fastest time ever made between these
ticn miint.4. 1 11 his career as a imssemzer cniri-
necr Mr. D. has never yet met with an accident.
The Doran family reside a short distance from
Wilmnre. and a brother of the gentleman we
speak of was a candidate at the recent bhens
burg convention, for Sheriff. If be is half as
worthy a man as we believe Pat to be, he would
make a tip-top buerw.
Twice One is One. A book-keeper once
made a mistake of several thousand dollars by
saying that twice one is one. He was arrested
and Imprisoned and finally went crazy on the
subject. No such mietakes are made at Cohen's
