"n w,1l still continue t i a ner A serious if not fatal accident to Mr. Wm. Bradley, of Loretto, came very near resulting from the accidental discharge of a pistol in the hands of Mr. Harry Jacob, on Monday last. The latter gentleman was endeavoring to sell the weapon at the time, and while handling it the pistol went off, the ball fortunately striking a knife in Mr. Bradley's pantaloons pocket, from which it glanced "off without producing more serious injury than a slight flesh wound. Had the ball struck half an inch lower down it would have severed one of the main arteries. A fire was discovered between the ceilin and upper floor of the little chapel buildln lo cated near the old Catholic church in this place. uow usu ior ecnooi purposes, on Saturday morning last, by a little girl who had entered the building for the purpose of eettine her books, and who immediatelv gave the alarm? ana it vas soon suooued. The fira no doubt caught from the stove pipe the day previous, but smouldered there for want of air until dis covered. One of the string timbers was burnt almost eutirely through for a distance ol fully three feet. A sad affair took p'ace in Rostmver town ship.Westmoreland county, a few days ago. which the Greeneburg Herald thus details : A young man by the name of Morehead, who is not right, mentally, attacked his father, Mr. CG. Morehead. while at breakfast, with a hatchet, and cut him so badly in tha head that he cannot live Dr. J. Jj. Vanvoorhis, who attended the wounded man. took out quite a large piece of the fractured skull immediately over the brain, laying bare that organ. The old man is still living, but bereft of reason. After the young man had, as he supposed, killed the father, he drove the balanco of th family out of the house, and fastened himself in. An officer c-me from Weet Newton and arrested young Morehead. Th Ladies' Faik. This commendable and attractive enterprise, we are pleased to know, is in tho full tide of successful operation, and each day not only adds to the number of beau tiful articles on exhibition, but brings with it a corresponding increase in the number of visi tors and patrons. Business mm and others here and elsewhere have donated many valua ble and beautiful articles, and have also en couraged by their presence and their patronage the good work now in progress, thereby win ning not only the gratitude of the ladies in charge, as well as of the entire congregation, but availing themselves of a chance to adver tise their business and win patronage that is not by any means to be despised. Among the articles worthy of particular mention is a silver headed cane which is to be voted to one of two very worthy and popular gentlemen Mr. R. H. Brown, Pa. R. R. agent at Cresson, and Mr. Abel Lloyd, agent at this place. A cigar presented by Presi. ei t Grant to E. H. Wil liams, Esq., late Superintendent of the Pa. R R.. and by Lim presented to Lis aseigtant, John Keilly, E?q , has been donated by tbe latter gentleman to the Fair, where it excites no little curiosity and should prove a winning card. What disposition will bo made of it, however, has not yet been determined. The fair will be keyt open during the balance of tbis week, and then be closed until Friday night of next week, when it will be again open ed and kept open during the holiday weeK..

FftKEHAK I shall m.ilcA it m. t.V nn this occasion to describe some of the late im provements in and around Johnstown. The first and gieatest of these is the 8TXEL KAIL MILL. This building has three distinct apartments. The first is tbe engine house and buildin? con taining the machinery for blast. Tbis building is large of itself and the receiver for air fills the entire upper part, and is an immense iron shell, something like a huge boiler, onlv ten llura irge. mere are two engines in tins uildinc;. I he second buildinir contaius tha cupalos for melting the metal, the retorts, and tne nouow, upright metal pillars, or tubes, through which the hydrostatic pressure. is ap plied to the machinerv. The third building. just being erected, is intended for the rolls, hammers, shears and punches for coniDletin"- the rail. The three buildings will cost about three hundred thousand dollars. The next buildine worthy of notice ia the Cambria Iron Company's BUTCHER. SHOP. This is a frame building on Goose Island. near the Gas works. It is about two hundred feet long, sheds and all. Oa the west of the main building are the cattle sheds, and on the east are the nhep and swine apartments, from each of which thero is access by doors to the main buildiDg. The centre structure is about fifty feet square, and is divided into four apart ments, called the slaughtering department, the cooling department, the rendering department, ana tne steam department. J here is a Juroace, a boiler, and an engine, which cost about two hundred dollars. This engine runs the sausage cutters, while the surplus steam is used to heat the rendering kettles. Tht-se ketties are dou ble, and tbe steam is forced between tbe two shells, producing heat enough to render the fat, without any danger of burning it. Other steam and water pipes lead to a largo wooden box, in which the hogs are scalded, which is done by steam and hot wattr. Subterranean drains lead to the river and crry away all the oioua and ollal. ater pipes are laid and hose attached, for the purpose of cleaning the establishment with daily ablutions. The cool ing room, which will be used in summer, is large enough to hold the slaughtered carcasses of twenty or thirty animals. On each side of this room is an ice-house, and in the end is a window with six fold sash and glas3. scales, hooks, rollers, pulleys, etc., complete the build ing. A wagon can be driven in and the beef loaded thereon. 1 he second story is used as a rainery or feed room. The whole building, taken together, constitutes as nice a butcher ing arrangement as we have ever seen. THK M1LLVI LLC LOCKUP. This is a very neat two story brick buildiDg on cuiuer street, l he nrst stor? is used lor cells and an office for tbe Burgees. The secoi.d story is used for a council room. This room is about thirty feet square. 1 he entire structure is put up in good tasto. GREEN nOCSE. Mr. Akers has built a Green House on the Os- born farm, about one mile from town. The skylights are about one hnndred feet in length and about fourteen iu width. The space un derneath wiih all kinds of beautiful atd valua ble flowers, and is constantly supplied with heated air from an adjoining furnace. We are pleased to k itness this improvement, and the enterprise of Mr. Akers. THE WOOLEN FACTOET. We should have noticed the large Woolen Factory at Woodvale, as among the great en terprises of the place, but as it is unfinished, a notice of it will be postponed for another chap ter. SCAEC1TT OF NEWS. Our local news is absolutely so scarce that we could not write even a short letter of accidents. Why it is we do not know, unless the rumor that the world was to come to a sudden end last Tuesday suspended action and brought this pause Bjt as the world is still eoin? on, it is probable that something may happen yet worth recording. HECTlXGS, ETC. The United Brethren have a protracted meet ing here, which attracts a great crowd at night, and the youig people are so unruly outai'ie that the police hare to attend nightly. The bridge is also infested with half-grown b-jys who insult ladies and misses with entire impu nity. A strange mix of religion and devihry 1 e do not blame the church though, but tne devil and the police. li. A.

Deae Fxeehan As 1 promised to give you the particulars ol the recent Fair for the bene fit of the church at this place, I shall under take a resume of the prizes drawn, so far as I have learned them, but cannot give them in extenso : Mr. A. Shoffuer drew the pony ; Michael Waltz tbe piano dulcimer ; Matbias Shank, of Allegheny township, tbe gold watch; Mrs. Susan Wagner the dress pattern. There was a large variety of minor articles drawn by different persons, which it is not necessary to make mention. The fair netted almost st:vcn hundred dollars. Quite a nice sum, and com ing almost entirely out of our own congrega tion. I have been informed by oar pastor that he intends to open another Fair early in January, or as soon as thero will be good sleighing, and he intends to have a variety of the finest and best articles ever exhibited either here or by any of the neighboring congregations. 1 will only mention one of the articles a first class sleigh. It is to be voted to some fellow, I don't know who yet, but whoever gets it may rest assured that he will get au excellent arti cle and of superior finish. Competition hee to all. We have been greeted by some very stormy weather during the past few days but to day the weather has assumed a much milder aspect, and this had all the appearance of a spring morning. Our medical friend, Dr. J. J. Krise, has ad ded one more improvement to the many needed ia our backwoods village, in the shape of a large and commodious residence, which is al most finished, and no doubt the largest and handsomest in Clearfield or adjoining town ships. The Doctor is an industrious and clever fellow, and hope he may be spared to enjoy the fruits of his labors. For want of other news I rout close, as there is no one dying, no one getting married, nor nothing happening to talk about. Oaio.v. Cabrolltown, Doo. 13, 1870. Deae Freeman On Saturday night last, about nine o'clock, a young lady namod Cath arine Campbell, living with Mr. Jacob Kirk patrick, a couple miles north of our town, met with a severe and almost fatal accident. She slipped on the ice just as she was entering the spring-bouse, and having a butcher knite in her right hand, throw up her left arm to save herself from falling to the ground. In doing so the knife entered her left breast, causing a large flesh wound, and coming out immediately under ber arm., entered the latter, severing a large artery. Mr. Kirkpatrick came to her and oiif-pppilpil in nartiallv controll ing the flow of blood by the application of brown sugar ana ugu oaiiu;giiifc uu.i ... arrival of the doctor. She was very wuch weakened from loss of blfjod, and in a Jew Amnnia m.rA hfl not assistance reached her, must have bled to death. 1 am glad to state that she is now considered out of danger, al though her wounds are painful in the extreme.

Lawrexceburo, (Parker's Lauding,) December , 1870. ) Friend Mae As I am not a very arood band at composition, you are at liberty to reject any thing that don't suit you, either in the present onin any future letters I may send you. l presume you have ere this receivea tne run Fiarticulars of the disastrous fire which occurred n this place on Sunday lost; still I canuot re frain from giving you a few Items in connec tion therewith : The fire broke out about 2 o' clock in the morning, being tlrst discovered in tne rear or tne unaen Diuiara satoon, tnat por tion of said buildins- havinar first been saturated with oil and then set on fire. The Barnes spread rapidly, and by 5 o'clock there was not a buiid- mg lett on one side or tbe street irom tne liut ler to the Itevere House, nor on the other from the New York to the Florence Hotels the re sult being the depriving of some forty families of their homes and in some cases much of their movable property. Six oil rigs were also des troyed. Amnnir the sufferers was our mutual friend, Doc. Devlin, of the Florence Hotel, who is minus about 85.000 worth of property. In twelve hours after the fire, however. Doc had up a small shanty and was doing a thriving bus iness ; and ere long he'designs to have comple ted one of the larirest hotels in Lawreneeburg, whereat any of bis numerous Altoona friends (of which place he was formerly a citizen) or those of any other locality will nndithe very best aeoommodations and tho most moderate charges, if they should ever wander in this di rection. In connection with the tire, there have been several arrests of parties charged with stealing during the progress thereof, stolen goods were found in the possession of three par ties Iwo men named McGovern and Kussell and a girl named Sheppard who have been committed for trial. Some threats have been made to burn the balance of the town. The manv friends of Johnnv Thompson, or your placo, will be glad to learn that he has again "struck iie, or rather a company or live members, of which he is ono, have a well on the Graham tract, and known as the Piekwick well, which is now producing about ten barrels per day, with prospects for doing better. Our town is enlivened by the presence of an "American citizen of African 'scent" named Grant, who sports and supports'.in grand stylr a frail, fair creature of tbe white persuasion. He is what raiaht be termed a regular sport, and ia that, if not in the tics of eonsantruinity, bears a marked relationship to his renowned namesake the champion "sportiet" of the nge tbegreat TJ. S. G. Our Grant, who is known as the cele brated runner Grant of Parker's Landing, is spoken of as the next radical candidate for Vice President. Having got low enough to support one of the white trash, it is hoped that the w hite trash will get low enough to support him in case he is nominated. If this should prove worthy of a placo In your columns, I will endravor to greet you with a weekly letter in the future. Sure Pop. HOLIDAY! HOLIDAY!! HOLIDAY!!! Frtacuta! Preicntill Presents!
