L.Y KNOW-XQTlIIXat
Eremsburq, Sept. 20, 1870.
Editor Freeman Dear Sir : Not having seen
the last Johnstown Detnucrat In ttmo to write
and have published In the present week's Issue
of that paper tho following reply to a commu
nication falsely and impudently signed "Fair
Play." . I ask you to give place to it in your
columns, hoping that there is yet h jn esty and
genuine "fair play" enough in the Democrat
office to induce the editors thereof to publish
the letter given below. ... .. It. C. Chkisty.
To the Editor of the Johnstown Democrat :
Justice to myself and to tho congregation over
which I preside demands tho following "Card to
the Public":
In the last n jmber of your Journal the under
signed was vilely attacked by a sneaking Know
Is othiso, (writing apparently from t'hest
springs,) in which communication seven oare
faeed lie are openly and shamelessly asserted ;
yet the writer would have yourr ders believe
that he "desires that every citizen of the coun
ty should be made acquainted with the facts."
Here they are, unvarnished and indisputable:
1st. The pio-nic was gotten up by the under
sUriied lor the benefit of the new Catholic
church erected by himself in this place, and
not for "the jovial people of Ebensburg."
2d. Not at the "people's expense." but by the
liberality of Messrs. Hoover, Fan-ens, Diahart,
Ellg, Doyle, and others, members of my congre
gation. 3d. Not "started by a half dozen boys and
girls," but by the respective parties above
named, with many other liberal Protestants and
Catholics.
4th. No "word was sont to town" or "from
town" by any "planners." We were driven
from the grounds by a terrific rain; I asked
Col. McDermitt if we could go to tho barn of
the Poor House for shelter. He answered In
the affirmative, providing we would appoint a
few persons to prevent smoking, etc. X went
to the paupei who were-In the dining room,
and asked thorn whether they would agree to
postpone their supper until we could get ours,
and then we would give them an elegant supper.
They willingly consented.
Cth. "Two teams from the Poor House" did
not come out. Mr. Elig's wagon, one from the
Poor House, and my buggy, "transported the
concern."
6th. The Poor House team did not run "back
and forward to Ebensburg to bring out the
elite."
7th. "The head of the affair" left before seven
o'clock, to attend a sick man who was seriously
injured.
The balance of the article may go for what it
is worth. I only want to defend myself as a
citizen, a soldier, and a clergyman a Catholic
priest from the contemptible calumnies, as
serted in the correspondence in your last paper
signed "Fair Play' regardless of tho "Ebens
burg liino" or the "Johmtoicn Junto." I am a
native of the couuty and pay my taxes, hence
I have a right to vote, and do so, and generally
the Kepubiican ticket. I served over three
years In the army not in Sanitary Commission
tents, but atthw front. Ask your estimable
fellow citizen, Mr. A. J. Haws, where he heard
I kept myself, also ask Joseph Uhl, and others
of my regiment now iu your place. Also, mem
bers of the 15th, 10th, lath and lUtb Regulars
where I was at Stone Kiver, Chicamauga, Mis
sion lUdge. Buzzard's Itoost, Dallas, or New
Hope Church, Keuesaw, &c. Finallv as a cler
gyman, I have a right to appeal to the honest
citizens of Cambria county for a public con
demnation of this cowardly attack upon me,
and upon the base attempt to drag a clergvman
into politics and classify him along with those
who are said to be "thieves," "rascals," "cor
rupt." "dishonest," etc. II. C. CH KISTY.

ships and boroughs, will explain themselves to
our readers. The total census of Cambria

was 29,155 showing an increase of population
since IkbO of 8,41)7.
Abkanokm cxts Complete. The work upon
the new buildings, and other improvements,
on the grounds of the Altoona Park Associ
ation, will be completed in a day or two, and
all things ready for the reception of stock and
articles, and the opening of the exhibition.
The new building is 16 feet wide, 80 feet long,
12 feet high to the square, comb roof covered
with shingles, and well floored. It will be
much better lighted thaa the other bnlldings,
and is Intended specially for ladies' work,
paintings, and fine articles. The construction
of this building gives almost double the amount
of room the Association had last year, conse
quently there will be less crowding of articles,
and all will be exhibited to much better ad
vantage. A train of passenger cars will be run be
tween the depot, in front of lie Logan House,
and the grounds, every half hour, during the
coDtinuanco of the Exhibition.
The driving course is in excellent condition
and in constant use quite a number of horses
entered for speed being now in the stables on
the ground, as also others that are under
training. The Exhibition opens Oct. 4th, and
closes Oct. 7 th.
Brilliant The display of the Aurora
Borealis on Saturday night last was of a . most
brilliant character, but the display of brilliant
eoods of every description at the cheap cash
store of M L. Oatman & Co., is so for ahead
of all natural or unnatural phenomena, that
tbey shouldn't be talked about the same day.
The firm in question not only keeps a mam
moth stock and an infinite variety of the very
best kind of goods, but they can supply almost
any personal or household want and do it in
such a way and at such prices as not only at
Sraeto customers, but holds them as Permanent
patrons ever after. When two such accom
modating salesmen as Mr. Oatman and his
SSt Swer. Mr. Berg, fail to sell such goods
as they do sell and at such prices as they sell
them for, it will be time for the rest of creation
to shut up shop and quit business.

Local Correspondence.
Altoona City, Sept. 27. 1870.
Fkienb Mac The last few days have been
marked by an unusual number of accidents
and violent deaths in this city and surroundin-s
that is truly terrible to contemplate.
On Thursday last a young man aaae4 Pot
ter, son of Mr. J.J. Potter, while on a visit to
some friends West of the citv, at Vaughn's
brick yard, and while standing on an embank
ment, that was being undermined, suddenly
the earth gave way, and by the fall he had
his leg broken near the ankle.
Edward Moran, an old aud esteemed citizen
employed in the grading of Eleventh Avenue,
while assisting other workmen in handling
some heavy irons, accidentally got one of his
handa caught between two of tbe bars, taking
one finger entirely off. and larcerating the others
very severely. His foot was also badly hurt.
On Thursday night a stranger named Zim
merman was instanly killed near Kittanning
Point by being struck by an engine. His head
was terribly crushed aud one leg broken.
On Saturday night two more shocking
deaths occurred. Two men, one named San
ders and the other Clark, while going through
the Tunnel at Gallilzin, were both killed by a
train of cars. Both the unfortunate men left
families dependant on ihem for a livelihood.
In the Pa. R.R. lumber yard, this (Monday)
morning, while a number of laborers were en
gaged in loading some very heavy timber, and
had about completed their labors, and while a
young man named Monroe Ake was examining
ths standards, tbey suddenly broke, causing
most of the heavy timber to fall on him, kill
ing him instantly.
The Democrats have nominated their city
ticket, and it is considered by all classes one
of the strongest that has been put in the field
for a long time. It is particularly gratifying
to all goodjeitizens to know that that bold," true,
indomitable, persevering and enterprising
Democrat, R. A. O. Kerr, Esq., has been re
nominated for Council by acclamation. His
election is a foregone conclusion, for the lion
hearted Democracy in that ward will not stul
tify themselves by voting for such an old fogy
as that Good (for nothing) that is running In
opposition to him, and there is enough Demo
crats in his ward to secure his triumphant elec
tion Quite an interesting episode or incident oc
curred here on Sunday morning last, and one
that will bear putting into print. A gentle
man who resides in tbe 4ih ward is the owner
of a very disabedient cow that is remarkably
fond of keeping late hours, like some creatures
that are not cows, on Saturday nights especial
ly. On Sunday morning, as was his wont,
the owner of the cow arose quite early to wan
der forth in quest of his unruly quadruped.
While sauntering along, whistling that favor
ite air, "The girl I left behind me," he bad oc
casion to approach near unto an apple orchard,
and while gazing at the luscious fruit his eyes
discovered another gentleman filling a large
basket with tbe tempting fruit, which he was
evidently borrowing while the owner of the
orchard was wrapped in thearms'of Morpheus.
The gentleman in quest of the cow gave one
of his most unearthly yells, which vibrated
through the trees like a clap of thunder in the
mouth of May. I dare say there was never
such a sound heard before or since. The man
with the apples took to his heels and oh ! ye
gods, Dexter would have been nowhere in the
fast time which followed. Over fields, fences,
ditches and swamps he went like a streak of
forked lightning. The gentleman watchingjhim
making the short corners soon discovered he
had lost his basket ; so following in his tracks
as rapidly as possible, he found the basket
filled with apples buried in a sand bank, and
on the principle that "to the victor belongs the
spoils," he forthwith conveyed them to his own
domicil, and is now ready and anxious for an
other such advecture. The individual who
"borrowed" the apples has no doubt realized
by this time that
"There is many a slip
'Twixt the cup and the lip.";
P. S. The owner of the basket, if he has
succeeded in checking his headway yet, can
have his property by calling at 1230 Fourth
Ward, and no questions will be asked.
Yours, &c, T. I. M.
Carrolltown, Sept. 2G, 1870.
Dear Freeman The Ladies' Fair contin
uos. It ib well patronized, and deservedly
so, as I am sure no effort is neglected to
make the festival pleasing and attractive.
On Saturday it was visited by a delegation
from Chest Springs and St. Augustine, bring
ing with them a martial band. The party
remained uotil late in the evening, and all
went home apparently satisfied with their
virit. One of your former correspondents,
"Zig Zig," lent the light of his counteuance
to us and our Fair on Saturday. Ue was
welcome and will always be.
A considerable amount of sickness prevails
here yet, and our skillful physicians have
their bands full, yet so far they have proved
very successful. Typhoid and nervous fever
appears to be the dominant trouble.
Mr. Benjamin Wertner's fine brick house
is now being roofed. It is one of the finest
bouses in the county, and when finished will
make a comfortable and convenient house
for one of our best citizens.
Adjutant Rise, our candidate for the Leg
islature, spent a few hours with us on Satur
day, as did also Capt. Bonacker, the candi
date for Sheriff. They both made good
impressions among our people, as indeed
they could not help but do, being perfect
gentlemen in every sense of the term. Their
vote here will be unanimous. Col. McDer
mitt and C. W. Easly, two . whole souled
gentlemen, as everybody knows who knows
anjthing, also paid us a visit during the
past week.
Before closing my letter I desire to inform
your readers that our Fair will continue un
til Friday evening. On Thursday, weather
permitting, there will be a pic-nic on the
grounds near town, and at which the draw
ing of articles and so forth will take place.
If the weather is unfavorable the Fair hall
will be open as usual. The evening plays
and performances, which have made' the
Fair so attractive, and which reflect great
credit on the young gentlemen who get them
up, will be continued every evening during
the fair. The voting on the various articles
is spirited and active. Politicians on every
side solicit votes for the plow, the axe, or
the doll bride. Come and see how we can
conduct a Fair in Carroll town and I wager
you will not be disappointed. E.
On Thin let The young man who drinks,
swears, gambles and idles away his time, is on
a very thia place on the ice, and if he knows
what's good for him he will abandon his evil
ways, go to work, save his earnings, get him
self a good wife and buy all the requisite arti
cles .for housekeeping In the hardware and
stove line from Geo. Huntley, who is prepared
to furnish anything from a cook stove to a nut
meg grater at as low prices as any other dealer
in the county or out of iu There is no doubt
about Huntley being the right man to buy
from.
Sosa or thk Niwbpafer. I am the news

ings, or wherever you choose tell you of
many things you ne'er heard before of things
good and bad, snd of Christy's cheap store,
which throughout all the county has won great
renown, and contains such a stock as ne'er in
Loretto town has been opened for the people
to look at and buy, where each customer at
low prices all bis wants can supply.
DoikS Well. We understand that Dr. A.
P. Fields has obtained a very large practice in
this vicinity, and has been exceedingly success
ful, having lost only three cases since cc-ming-am'ongst
us. He seems to be the right kind of
a man for any emergency demanding medical
skill. He holds himself ready to go anywhere
he may be needed at any hour of tbe night.

wist no riirce times uotn entwine, ana then
sraiif heway he goes on a perfect bee line, for
goods very cheap and goods very rrne. to the
store of Messrs, Shoemaker, always obliging
and kind, who sell more for less money thau
any other dealer you'll find and who are now
particularly anxious to close out their splendid
summer stock at figures that cannot fail tu ir -duce
all people to buy who appreciate good
goods and great bargains.
A boii t Clorlta. One of the first inventions
In the way of clocks wh the rlrp.vMcf I, or water
clock, a contrivance of tho Assyrians and used
as early. as the second Pardinapnlus, if you
know when that wa.. The very latest inven
tions tn tho saino lrne,- a well as in the watch,
jewelry, sewing machine and fancy goods line,
can be found "and bought, if buy you want to,
at the splendidly stocked emporium" of C T.
Huberts, who can tell you all about his goods
you may wish to know.
A Ntrlking- Example. When one man
strikes another ; also, when Leopold Mayer, dry
goods merchant of Johnstown, strikes high
prices in tbe head. Mr. Mayer has now an im
mense stock of new goods of all kinds dresa
goods, hats, bonnets, laces, brilliant ribbons of
every hue, etc. at the Opera House. No, 212,
Johnstown. He mude a good point in purchas
ing when goods were at their lowest price, but
he is determined to make abetter one by selling
very low for cash.
Don't Kind It. IT there is a savage war
going on between France nnd Prussia, don't
mind it, but go to Leopold & Brother and buy
some suitable made-up clothing for fall and
winter, before Mr. High Price arrives from the
seat of war. Leopold & Brother keep at 241
Main street, cheap side, Johnstown. Let Eu
rope spend money for powder and lend, but
spend your dimes for the adornment of the
outward man, a id spend it at Leopold & Bro.'s.
Goincr to Wilmore. At the solicitation of
a number of citizens of Wilmore, Mr. T. K.
Evans, photograph artist, has concluded to
open rooms for a couple of weeks at that place,
commencing on Friday of this week, and as a
consequence his Gallery here will be closed
until Monday Oct. 14th. Our friends in and
about Wi I more should avail themseH-os of the
chance ali'o riled them as Mr. Evans is master of
his business aud cannot fail to please.
Aldermanie.-Let all who want good dry
goods, fancy goods, good dress goods, and good
grocerie", call with our aldermanie friend, N.
P. Carroll, No. 215 Main street, Johnstown,
where tbey will be entertained iu an obliging
manner by a perfect gentleman, who can sell
goods as low, and also as many of them, as any.
man can between Dun and Bersheeba. Carroll
is ready and willing to sell good goods at the
lowest figure in the market.
Commotion. What has caused this great
commotion the country through. It is the ball
a rolling on for John J. Murphy, with goods so
new, at tho Mausion House corner. Johnstown.
Murphy's new dry goods have produced a won
derful commotion indeed. Hundreds nay,
thousands rush to Murphy's, because that is
tho place for bargains. Then, render, rush
tl-ou thither also und get the full worth of
your mouey.
A Wonderful Treana. I had a dream the
other night, when all arund was still ; I dream
ed I saw a great big crowd of folks go rushing
downjthe hill ; and how they fared no one can
fail to guess, for at Davis' cheap cash store they
all did halt, and, entering, bought goods, more
or less and in buying from.liowley they all got
the best of goods at tho very lowest prices, and
went their way rejoicing.
Look Here. For men and boys ' For men
and bovs! Made-up clothing at M. H. Mayer's
renowned Clothing Emporium, Opera House,
No, 214 Main street, Johnstown. Ready-mado
clothing for men, boys, and children. A new
stock of ready-made has Mr. Mayer laid in,
cheaper than ever, better thau ever, aud neater
than ever before for men and boys.
Trunin Full. L. Cohen & Brother have
Just received twenty-five truuks, at Cohen's
Hat Parlor, filled with choice new hats aud caps
and gent's furnishing goods. Tho scene pre
sented by the arrival was like that of a Saratoga
