The said notice went ou to compliment the fire company, "enpecially upon the gratifv ing rueasuie of success attending their"-fi'orts to wrest the healthful pleasures of the dance lrora the low and Tulgar." The author of the circular raiher takes exception to this, and in siuuates that the company at the ball was no t so overly select as the "Tribune" would make it, and in fact says "disreputable persons were in attendance ; and in proof of tiiia assertion it ia only necessary to refer to a certain charac ter, a resident of the Fifth ward, and a notori ous member of the dlmi moidk, on account of whose presence curtain respectable ladies re fused to dance." The circulm attacks, iu an underhand way, several well-known persona here, and it has created quite a commotion among our people. ce vl it Men w as iounu snoiner w hicli ui eaia red 5,1 ",;rv-eil the line." because he ' sir, on TuCiday layt.

Fkiksd Mac The past few Oays have been exceedingly prolific of accidents, of a more or less eerious nature, and which I proceed to chronicle briefly: John McDevitt, a tinner in the Railroad Company's employ, while engaged the other day in Btraighttning a br.r or iron with a ham mer accidentally missed the iroii and struck his left thumb very badly demoralizing that useful appendage to a "full hand." Our young frieud John Sullivan, machiuist, also employed by the Company, while assist ing in hoisting some machinery, a few days ago. had his right band caught the rigging and very badly injured. A boiler maKer named Robinson, another employe of the P. R. R. Co., while helping to erect a mammoth riviting machine, had hs right index finger taken oti'aud another finger broKen by some sort of mishap, but just how I failed to learn. Another boiler maker named Na;le, while at 01 k ou Tuesday in cutting rivets from an old fire box. was turuck in the left eye by a piece from one of the riviu. w hich entered the pupil and entirely destroyed the feigh of the ey,e. John Householder, cue of the best cabinet makers iu the State, was struck with such force by a piece of timber, which flew from a circular saw that he was employed at in the Company's car shop aday or two ago, that a brass key and penknife were broken in one of his pockets ana a lead pencil was driven into his groiu, inflicting a very paiuful woLnd. A washer- woman at the Logan House, named Mrs. Hcflner. whiic workiug at a steam clotheB wringer on Monday last, had one of her hands caught and drawn between two of the rollers, elear up to the first j oint, and very baJly crush ed fingers were the result. Ou Thursday evening Bartholomew M'Cabc, an engineer, on the Mountain division, whose home 13 in Johnstown, stepped from behind the tool house in the y aid here without noticing a train tnat was moing enst, and the conse quence was that he got right iu the way and was knocked down by the engine, but fortu nately escaped with only a ulight cut above one of his eyes. Certainly a narrow escape. An inf mt daughter of Mr. David Coonsman, while tempoiarily left aloce, 011 Saturday morning lat, fell from a rockirg chair and against the stove, burning her right cheek, forehead and right hand iu a shocking manner. Hon. John Morrissey, James Cusck, i'aisy Devlin, and others of that iik, passed through our city on Sunday morning last. A centenarian in the person of an old wo man named Stackhouse, generally known as mother Stackhouse, died in this city on Thurs day last, aged exactly one hundred years, it is said, having been boru March Kith 177 I- Her father was a soldier of the Revolution, aud her husband fought iu lhe war of 1812. Our new Council and worthy Mayor do not work as harmoniously together us they might. There being some men of the Sumner stripe in the Council may account for it. According to our city charter the Major has the right to ap point the Chief of Police, wnile the Council regulates hia salary. The present Chief of Police, if we can be said to h ive one at pres ent, for some reason became buoxious to the majoiitv of the Council, and the consequence was they notified the Mayer that the paymeut of the said Chief's salary wouid cease on and after date of notification. This action of the Council raised the ire of the Mayor, aud he re. ucd to m ike another appointment, where upjt) the Council 'H.Z7.ard"-ed an appiint ment of its own. at the last meeting, but up to this time his Honor has emphatically refused to recognize tlie man of its choice. Tbe May or and Council migh. be better employed. Councilman Kerr represents the dirtiest sticet in the city a street filled with bancs, ashes, oykter shelU and other obsti u.-tions iu profusion. The wordy war between the Radical and Tribune has collapsed, owing to a want ot ammunition on part of the latter journal. The victory has by uuauimoua cousent been Bward ed to the Radical men, aud they aie very ju bilaut aa a consequence. Yours, iic, T. I. M. Johnstown, March 22. Ifc71.

COMHl'SICATIOa". Scmuerhill Twp March 21, 1ST1. Friend yiac The lust issue of your journal contains a communication from Wilmore sign ed by Maggie Black. Those who know the lady in question will not be prepared to admit that she composed the epistle, for, with all its im perfections, it is too good to have ever come from her pen. Those who know nothing of her capacity, however, might credit her with the production; yet even they tuav judga correct ly of her literary abilities by reading the fol lowing note, which is an exact copy of the first of a series of notes written and 6ent by Miss Black to parties in this township. But lest some should be slow to believe that any person so grossly ignorant as the writer of those notes would have the presumption to apply for a school, or could possiblv be employed by any school board to teach tlie rising generation at the expense of the public, 1 enclose herewith the original of the note published below, hoping that you will give all who desire to do so, and especially our worthy Count v Superintendent, an opportunity to examine the document and thus realize the great truth, that the common school system, under the administration of so many incompetent, ignorant teachers, is an im position on the people and a disgrace to the na tion. Children ure not educated by the system, and I actually know preachers, physicians, and other professional men, graduates of the pub lic seboois, who are unable to write a short, simple letter, without committing the grossest errors against orthography and good grammer. But here is the note let it speak for itself : Wilmore Jan 23. 1ST1 Mr I find it my painful duty to inform you that your Son M is doing no good in school is rather keeping up an anuuancm in our school ho with one or two others are rviucn this school if they be left alone I have punished him once with the rod & I do not think I will do so again for it thn no good I thought it inv duty to inform you first for if it should continue as it has of late I would be compelled to report to the Directors And it is true he is not learninir for he tt we not study If he was a small Child I would try other means to have him Studu but he is now old enough to know his duty and to do it i he must do it or 1 canuot have him come to school 1 have written this to you for the good of your Sun and hope I have given no offciixe , Vours with respect Teacher Maggie Black This letter clearly shows that tho communica tion from Wilmore whs not written bv Miss Bluek. The impression is that "a welf in sheep's clothing-' couiMsed it, and hud the imprudence anil bail taste to induce Miss Black to put her signature to it, thus dragging the fair maiden into very unenviable notoriety a position which should be avoided ns much us possible by every modest member of her sex. Therefore the author of the communication from Wil more may yery appropriately be christened Mr. "Maggie," and when tlie term is hereafter made ue of the reader will know how to make the application. I never thought it a crime, as Mr. "Maggie" iiiiiuiaies, 10 pray or reaa tne ord of tiod. My correspondence published in the Freeman of the 4th inst. shows that the gentleman's as sertion is incorrect. I was taught to pray as soon as I came to the use of reason, and, as I grew in years, the Church.deeply impressed the importance and necessity of praver upon mv miud. Although reared on a farm, and still following the plough, it is safe to ay that I know as much iibout prayer and the word of God as Mr. "Maggie" himself. Mr. "Maggie," however, will bear with mo when I tell him that Catholics cannot, in con science, join in the prayers of unbelievers or read their corrupt version of the Bible. We are not of those kind that are "rugs upon every bush and stick to none." We believe in "one faith, one baptism, one Ood and Father of all," and per consequence in only one Church. Thus convinced, would it not be base and hypocritic al in the extreme to join in devotional exorcises with those outside the pale of Truth? Others may continue on in their inconsistent course, but as for us we decline to follow in their train. And just here let me remind Mr. "Miiggie" that Catholics pray at home and at church, and else where attend to their duties without interfer ing with others, which in truth and in spirit fulfils the precept to pray always ; und if Miss Black nnd all other enthusiasts" like her would pursue the same course the peace and harmony which should exist amongst all people would not be so often disturbed t.y bitter dissensions. There should be a time and place for ull things, and if Miss Black has any leisure time at her command during school hours, it might not tie a bad idea to apply it to the task of learning to spell, und thus acquire an accomplishment iu which she is very deficient. Nor is it honest to intimate that I am an Athe ist because forsooth I would not be willing to join in Lutheran prayers with Miss Black or read or listen to her mutilated version ot tho Scriptures. If this makes me an Atheist, there ure t hree hundred millions more like me in the world. But 1 am a Catholic, aud not an Athbist. Sti'l I am free to say that Atheism, bad as it is, is no worse in many particulars than Luther nnisin. The first pushes its impiety further than the latter, but, withal, it is unquestioiialvly more logical. Luilieranism isa sickly, decrepid human institution in which it is folly to live and madness to die. How can any man lash himself into tho belief that he can save his soul by the aid of a religion called into existence by an apostate monk?" Mr. "Maggie's" frequent allusions to "this land" nre nodoubt intended to convey tlie idea that his claims upon it are greater than mine. The very opposite is the fact. But the gentle min is not posted, perhaps, and it may do 110 harm to refresh his memory with a little histo ry. "This land" was discovered by u Catholic and named in honor of a Catholic, and Catho lics were the first to proclaim liberty of con science on its shores. And as regards the inde pendence of this republic, let us seo by compar ison wlint Catholics and Lutherans have uone iu that direction. George the Third, who tried to make us the most abject of slaves, was a Lu theran. A Lutheran Herman prince scut his Lutheran Hessians over here in droves to crush, and stamp out the life of this young republic. ,Kiie different, was it with Catholics, however. 1 'ranee sont us men and means; tho Irish ie eriited the ranks thinned by llcssiuu bullets, andAi-.e immortal Washington could truly have s;iIMhat bo received Catholic aid and sympathy from all quarters of the world. And yet, not withstanding all this, the very descendants of dus'ardly 5 lessians would now invade the sacred rights of conscience rights for which our cc-rciigiouu-ts fought, bled and died, as is abun dantly recorded on the pajjes of American his tory. " Miss Black finds an apologist for her obscuri ty nnd bad spelling in Mr. "Maggie," who puts in the plea that she wrote to illiterate persons. This would certainly be mi justification, even if true, for it is much easier for even the illiterate to understand a correct than a stupid letter. Miss Black wrote ns well as she knew how, but I assure her that those she styles unintelligent were not slow to detect her deficiencies; und they nre not now prepared to believe that she could bring either "ancient or modern lore" in to requisition, no matter how much she might try. Moreover, some members of that family to whom Mr. "Maggie" sneeringly alludes, could teach him and his protege more about "auoieut and modern lore" in ten minutes than they ever learned in their entire lifetime. My own pedigree has also been handled in the communication from Wilmore, but on that sub ject the gentleman, is grossly mistaken. "My father and mother wore Irish, and 1 am Irish too," though born in this tow nship. My origin is purely Milesian, and my ancestors lived in the "Green Isle" long before the days of St. Patrick. 1 know as much about the history of that country as Mr. "Maggie," but have yet to learn that Catholic Ireland ever put any one to death for rending the Scriptures. Ou the other hand, let it be borne in mind that the first reli gious persecution ever known in Ireland began in the days of Henry tho Eighth, and who can te ignorant of the relentless cruelty with which it has been carried on against Irish Catholics from that day to the present. This, however, is a delicate subject, undone that should not have been Introduced by the Wilmore gent. The gentleman read something somewhere about the "dark ages," and as iu tne case of the "ancient and modern loro" quotation, ha pre tends to know ull about them. As this com munication is already longer, however, thau I intended, I will say nothing now about those "dark ages," except to ask a plain question or two. If Liitherun'sm existed before the "dark ages, why did it permit the ages to become dark ? It cannot even be urged that they made an effort to ward off the darkness, for there is no trace in history of the fact. We have no ev idence whatever that a Lutheran ever raised his voice on behalf of Christianity at any time previous to the so-called 'Mark ages." If they existed in those days they must be held respon sible for permitting the ages to become so dark, and it is shameful for them to blame others for their own 111 isdoeds. Again, if tho early Chris tians wore Lutherans, ihe first Catholic must have originally been a Lutheran, und must have become ii pervert to Catholicity. After that he must have converted all tho Lutherans to the new faith, for history clearly shows that there was a time when there was not a single Lutheran in existence, nor even the name of that sect known ainoug men. Now if the "dark ages" intervened without tho slightest opposi tion from the Lutherans, nothing came to pass tut what that sect richly merited. If any op position was shown to the "spirit of the age," if any pen was used or any voice raised by Lu therans at that time in defence of Christianity, tho fact is susceptible of proof, and we would bo glad to see the evidence. No such proof, how ever, can be adduo.il, ns every scholar knows, and it is therefore fair to conclude that there were no Lutherans anterior to the "dark ngos," a nl as they wore not in existence theu they must certainly have been introduced since, not indeed by God, but by man. Such a thing as 11 Lutherau was not heard of during the "dark nges" either, nnd hence no intelligent man can, be ignorant of the fact that this sect is not so old as would te tho man whose name it bears were be still in tho land of the living.

Died, suddenly, at his residence in i East Conemaugh, on Saturday, lltti inst., Air. Daniel Confer, aged 6a years. The deceased had for many years been a resi dent of East Conemaugh, and by his proverbial uprightness had secured the good will of ull with whom he became uc-quuinled. He was in the enjoyment of his usual health up to the time of retiring to rest or. the night of the 10th, aud on the morning of the lit It he was found dead in his bod with his hands crossed upon his breast, as if wrapped iu deep but natural slum ber. Mr. Confer was a native of Bedford coun ty, having been born there iu l.sfti, and was the eon of a much respected farmer. He was by trade a clothier, but for the past thirty years lie has followed thu occupation of inu-keepcr, aud since liwU has been tlie proprietor of the Confer House in this borough. He served 111 the capacity of councilman lur several terms, and in that position, us well ns in all other acts of his lite, both public und private, the rule of action aud duty with him w as ever in accord ance with the divine precept, "As ye wtiuld that men should do to you, do ye c-xen so to them." He was a devout member of the Cath olic church, and how often have we watched him. that aired man. wending his way, regard less of all worldly doings, to that aliar before which his mortal remains were at last borne by his co-associates, the e.x-counciimeii and cx burgessof our borough, then and there to have the last solemn rights of the faith he professed performed over all that is or to us seems to bo t he last of man's mort ality. The bereaved fam ily of our old and true friend, now (rune from our midst forever, have the heart felt sympathy of this entire community.
