A Sensation in Johnstown. Under date of
March 21st a correspond-, nt of the Pittsburgh
Leader furnishes the following: 0
A circular, gotten up by some unknowa par
ty or parties, "going for" a number of the
prominent persona of this place, has been crea
ting a sensation here the last couple of days
It id beaded Cod Fish Aristocracy," and
signed "Night Hawk." and rather rape the
editor of the Tribune and the managers ot the
Assistance fire company quite sereiely over
the knuckles The subject matter of the cir
cular is based upon a notice of the recent fire
nieu's ball here, which appeared in the Trib
une. 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.

up to the 25th instant. This w ill be welcome
news to the people of Martinsburg and vicinity,
as it will give the farmers and business men of

have long felt ttic need of. We had the pleas
ure of taking a iido with engineer Young and
conductor Siroup on Saturday, over the roid

Local Currtspoudcuco
Altooxa Citt. March 22, 2871.
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.

evidence of the utter worthlessue's of our po

the very centre of town, is a standing monu

ago Mr. Griso moved out, and now every win

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.

CON FEB. 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. Of him and them
(tho deceased aud his stricken family) it may
truly be said,
"The angels have led you in silence away ;
l''ortlicm there are shadows for you there is
day." L. F.
