Dear Frk.fman I thought you would wish
to hear the particulars of a large fire that ti.ok
place in our town, on Saturday night last.
Consequently, by your permission.! ask a place
for it in the columns of jour va uable jitunil.
Atlntlfpist six o'clock an eastern bound
freight traiu was chitting" some cars laden
with Coal at the head of the yard on to a "fid
ling," and the train being in two parts, the
lotward engine was doing the "shiit'.ng," but
bclore it was ready to start, the "pusher.'' obev
ing a si-rial intended fi.r a western bound train,
parted with the lat.er part of the tiabi and
collided with the I'.THaiJ part, bursting two
large oil tanks, covering the railroad with the
oily fluid The oil however, did not then i.;
like. After the tanks were righted and placed
on a "siding ' close by, trams agiiu began
moving, and at li o'clock a spark from a pass
ini' engine set the oil on the track on fire, and
in the space of filteen minutes some twentv
cars thai were on sidings." three of which
were passenger crs. were one mass of fl ime.
1 am happy to state that there w c-e no lives
lost, though a young man n imed Lew is Tipton,

Womax Kili-fd at Soith Fork. Shortly
after two o'clock yesterday altemon, says tne
I'iltsbutgb Dispatch ol Monday last, a terrible
affair occurred on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
near Seutli P'ork Station, Cinibtii county,
in which an aged lady, named Mrs Keek, fell
under the wheels of the iear ear ol the wav
pas-ener train, which arrived at the Union
Depot last evening, and wan instantly killed
It appears that the deceased entered the train
at Sutnei hill Station, where she resided, for the
purpose ol visiting a couple ol sick gr ind chil
reii at South Folk, ubout two miles distant.
As the train was ab'-ut checking up ut the lat
ter station, die left Iter seat and proceeded to
the rear platform of ihe car on which the hind

she became bewi'dered, lor f-he jumped trom
the platform t the opposite irack rii.d was

yeais of age. a.id wis the mother of a larire
family of grown up chil dren. The accident Ih
a most distressing one. bur it is one of the m.iny
which are the result of a want of caution on

LETTER X'ROM PITTSBl'RGII,

PfrREE!NSome individuals are born

I! . IM i upon thoiu. Ttie undcisi ntd
must be classed m tho latter oatejrorv. Since I

r erous t.ut.sciibcrs to your paper have eom
incnced ivntinjf n,e, anxiously inquiriujf if my
JiV. !'rt-'il?"'deiice to your paper is to be forever
ui.-ontinued. borne five thousand letters and
telegrams of the above purport have reached
rue within the last three or lour weeks, arid I
oejrin to reel uncomfortably irreut. Anienuen
, "ve to be employed in answering those let
J '18 und telegrams, and tlie expenses incidental
inereto are simply enormous, amounting to us
niiicli us a small national debt. M v usually re
nalile appetite hai des-rred me, and the sweet
Plcep of iiim wciicc no luiurer liovors about niy
eye'lids. and 1 inn involiiiitiuily forced to ex
claim wit h kios and potentates, "Cneasy lies
the bend that wears a crown!" A thousand
times have I recently wished that 1 was au ur
chin tvuin a sweet, frisky child;
"When they put me in my little tied.
And whi.ui not a breaker of anguish,
Heaved across my placid bosom."
7t is only when I am sorely vexed that I write
gushing, gentle poetry.
The fifteen hundred dollars that vou sent me
enme to hand safely n few dav ago. i can scarce
ly conscienciously think that the five or six let
ters that I wrote to the Frkemas were worth
that sinn of niouey; but you and your subscri
bers think I am entitled to this amount, and
even inore, ntnS it becomes my duty to accent
tins tribute to genius as yet comparatively un
oe eloped and unl.inucri. Tho money was judi
ciously expended in postage stumps and tele
graph lines m replying to the inquiries from
i'.'V '1;l,,:1,ns- 1 smoerclv thank nil (and par
ticularly the women and children), for this kind
consideration iu my behalf. It conclusi vel v
shows an irrepressible disposition to reward
merit and put virtue on a solid foundation. 1 !
nm now more forcibly than ever reminded of
the truth of the old ami familiar maxim -lie
virtuous, and you'll not go up u spout sudden- 1
V.t erhaps this is not the litem! niei.t.in.r
or the nphorisni, but J ,n satistietl the point is
palpable. If any of your readers wish to read
the adage iti nil its original and pristine l.eautv,
1 refer them to what II. (J. knows about fariii
Jtig; a lite rary work alike popular with wet
nurses, politicians and bootblacks.
It may be that the apology I have above pre
sented tor not corresponding more re-ulaHv to
the Lrcr m, iu is not entirely lucid or apparent
to your readers. If you think it is not. please
explain editorially why I have been rcuiNs in
this matter. ou saw me last some fifteen years
ago, and you can more fluently elucidate on
this subject than I can myself. Do it in your
usual bland and Mircastle maimer. I tim satis
fied that you know how to lake (in) vour sub
scribers Irom the pathetic appeals yoii make to
them lor a prompt liquidation of indebtedness.
(You can define the long words in this commu
nication by reference to Webster Cnabridgod.)
I have read these appeals with eonsiderablu
emotion, and if it hud not been that vou and I
had had our photogniplistakcn in the"siime pal
lery some twenty yt-urs ago. I would have re
mitted the forty-two cents justly due vou. Hut
1 knew a movement so mercenary in its ten
dencies would have incurred vou'r everlasting
displeasure, so I wisely concluded that 1 was
not one of the debtors yon alluded to iu your
notices to delinquents. Had I enjoyed vour in
timate ucqiiaiuta nee. or, on theot her h'uud. had
I never seen you, of course I would have re
mitted the cash on the first bit imat ion I received
ttiat.vou needed money I would not have slept
or eaten until the editor had boon paid, had 1
known that 1 was included in his list of debtors.
Hut being only a casual aeqaintanec. I conclude
the I ridium is sent to me as a "compliment."
Taking this view of the matter. I also infer
from the same stand-point that the editor would
much rather have me remain a sort of fortu
itous friend, and get nothing lor his paper, than
cultivate my intimacy and receive t e regular
subscription price in ntlvanre. This has been
my experience with manv other virtuous, hih
toned editors and it is fair to presume the edi
tor or the freeman is no exception. This mode
of doing business, although not partaking to a
great extent of Christ inn sociability nnd resig
nation. I rather like. Husiness is business, and
if the editorial fraternity can stand it I can.
Kditors. as a general thing, are very tenacious
of their reputation, and I value my character
too highly to ask them to compromise their
good names by ae-cepting- money from me in
payment of subscription. If 1 have taken an
erroneous view of this matter (ail men are lia
ble to mistakes) you can draw on meat sight
for the forty-two cents nnd I will honor the
draft. Hut if 1 must pay for the paper you wiil
please consider me as never having made the
acquaintance of an editor. Of course this will
about balance things. I am tenacious of my
reputntion also. uli n I mitxt po for run pnrwf.
I must express my gratification at knowing that
your delinquent subscribers came up as owe titan
to settle in response to your repeated appeals.
Now keep them down to the work, nnd I prom
ise you my vigorous co-operation. Mvnpologv
is now complete. It is disconnected, but when
it iseonsidered that during the time I havebeon
writing it mail curriers and teh graph boys have
been annoying me with the delivery of letters
and telegrams, nil or a similar purport, there
is no wonder that there in an irregularity in
composition. I promise all. if tlicv piv the
printer his just dues promptly, that I w ill ,v rite
weekly. and th man that says "he always writes
v-Mhlu" is bad at heart, and no benefactor of
the human race. These are my honest tenti
rnents. and now to work.

Johnstown, Jan. S9lb, 1S72.
To the Editor nf the ikiinbrUi Freeman:
1'kau Slit It has been remarked by a wise
man that he who wrestles with a hog must ex
pect to be spattered with filth, whether he is
vanquished or not. This maxim I have long
known and appreciated: nevertheless, there
are occasions w hen it must be disregarded. A
man may be attacked in such a way that he is
compelled to tiagellnte his hogship, even at the
risk of being contaminated by the unclean beast.
In this last position 1 find invseir placed wiih
V.'M'ect to tho fellow w ho signs himself "M. P.
JI . in your last issue, li is lutest off usion over
Hows with words, the vilcness of which is only
equalled by the luge and malignity or him who
penned theln. It has been remarked, that in a
discussion he who first loses his temper nnd is
lorced. for luck r something better, to hurl
opprobriouscplthttsat his opponent, has inva
riably got the worst of the argument. " It isuUo
worthy of mention here, that the lowest and
vilest of vile characters that wallow in the reek
ing slums of large cities can outface a respect
able gentleman ut calling Vile names and ban
dying vulgar epithets, j have no ambition to
i'e wi- tbis f liow in his vulgarity, and must
therefore beg to be excused from lowering my
self to the level upon which his last communi
cation places hiin j-eiua iking, however, that
while he claims to Re, and probably is, an Irish
man, his laft letter lends probability to the
surmise that his ancestors were at some lime
ennaged in the Ii4.l1 business in liilliugsgute
Market, London.
THe '""'ished two lines of "Shamus O'
Hrien divested of brogue as specimens. They
",e r' beautiful. 1 do not exactly under
stand by what process this divesting of brogue
j accomplished, but I have been informed that
I. P. M. has invented a machine which lie calls
his I atent Self-En orienting Brogue Extractor,
winch does the work to perfection, line after
""d verse after verse dropping out of it
just like linksof sausage from a patent stuffer.
"And f,i pur the whole world gave it Into hi
there."
Very fine, indeed, and if called upon for an
objection. I don't know that I could lind one,
except that the second and third words sound
something like a Frenchman's first effort in
English profanity; lor an illustration of which
see the closing lines of "The Frenchman and
the I lea Powder":
Ah. matlame ! sil votis plait, nttendez vous
I will this lectio ting expluin to vou :
'V iv IV""1" re gran ! ningnitique ! i hy abuse him?
Aha I I show you hoU- tl, ,,se j,im.
first, you must wait until vou catch de floa.
Den tickie 1 e on de petite lib, vou see.
Ami when I e liiigh a ha 1 he ope his throat ;
Hen pokedep mdare down oj var: he choke."
Now, Mr. Editor, for pity's sake don't send
this number of jour paper to any of your
I rench subscribers, for candor compels me to
m.mit that my knowledge or French is not per
fect, mid I might be us unfortunate in it as I
have been in my brogue. If some peripatetic
1 ronch peddh-r. engaged in the questionable
business ot disposing of traitorous biographies,
should take otic use and proceed to hurl column
alter column of polyglot, billingsgate itt my
heud for the next six weeks, I should be undone
indeed. This chaste aud elegant writer classes
me with theasseuirie tribe. I presume I oiu-ht
not to doubt the correctness of t ids classilk-a-tion.
and 1 feci disposed to accept it as correct,
lor the gentleman seems so thoroughly familiar
with the Buojci-t. that he must be accepted as
authority. In fact, jackasses and brogue seem
to be his "best hold." Hut he also sa s, in an
other place, that I have proved recreant to ti e
teachings of my youth." No jackass was ever
known to prove "recreant to the teachiie-s of
his youth." In truth, your jackass amf the
learned gentleman himself are the most com
mon and conspicuous examples of consistency
- are, in fact, the only "pairo' noble beasts"
that never change their minds. There's some
uiistt'.ke. Will lie "rise to explain"?
lie intimates that rnv curs are Inno-- nrwi if
his classification is correct, this is not to bo
wondered at. I wish, however, to demonstrate
to him that they are as acute as long as useful
as ornamental. Some weeks ago I happened
into a store 011 Main street, where I saw Mr M
P. M. trying to buy a valise he called it a 001Y!
I happened afterwards to speak of this remark
able pronunciation or the simple word "hag"
by one wins according: to his own account, is
"the well of English undented." and a few davs
afterwards a friend, who was present 011 the
occasion referred to, handed me a parody on
"Keiser, don't you want to buyadogr ' entitled
"Maher, don't you want to buy a boig?" This
remarkable poem needs only to be passed thro'
the Patent Self-Lubricating Hrogue Extractor
to be perfect ; and when this has' been done it
w ill he, by all odds, the fiue. t thing in the poe
try line that has ever originated iu Johnstown,
not even excepting the "Fairy liueci.." It is
my intention to recite tins poem in a iiun-.ber
of places, but tirst in .Johnstown. As soon iis it
han been successfully put through the uiHchihe
1 will announce the time and place, and I will
also send Mr. M. P.M. a free ticket. I regret
that want nf space prevents tne from giving
this gem in full. The following are its openiii"
lines: "Maher. don't you want to buy a boi'jj
It holds a t; a' ui-ile.
And a peek of prnt i7s mrae.
And for whiskey it's co.uiyiore.
Oh. don't that Imu'i; look hate f
laher, don't you want to buy a hoiyT''
And now to M. P. M., I will say in conclusion
that, as he longs for notoriety as a lean pup
hankers arter new milk. I hope he is satisli. d
with notoriety even as the pup is satisfied with
milk when his canine maw is distended by a
gallon thereof.
A word to tho readers of the Freeman and 1
have done. I read "Shamus O'Hrien" in per
fectly good faith, believing that ho who leads
it well, or tries earnestly to read it well, puvsa
high compliment to the Irish character. No
thing could possibly have been further from
my intention than merely mimicking or easting
any slur upon the Irish people. I pronounced
the words just as they are pronounced by the
best readers in this country. The piece has
been read in this town often with the-same pro
nunciation as I gave it, and that too before au
diences composed largely or Irishmen, and I
never before heard au objection made to it. Iu
defending myself from the base aud unmanlv
attacks which this fellow has made upon me, I
have, it is true, used every honorable weapon
that I found convenient ; but my blows have
been directed against him, and against no one
else. Helieving that he has now learned that I
cannot be attacked with impunity, and hoping
that his experience in this matter mav improve
manners towards others iu tho future, I drop
the subject.
Very truly j ours, J. Fiiank Co.ndon.

James Fisk, Jr.-This gentleman, lately de
ceased, was not tne only New Englander who
has succeeded in achieving a reputation. For
here is George Huntley, of our own town, for
merly u New Englander whose reputation, tho'
not co-extensive with the world, is yet well
known. Fisk's name was made famous 1 hrouh
his connection w ith fraud and fraudulent prac
tices; Huntley 'sby reason of his rair and square
dealings witii n'l men. We will not attempt to
furl her run a pa-a'lcl, but content out-self with
saying that M . H.'s speciality is stoves and tin
ware, and that his store is on High street. Call
on him when you need anything in his Hue.
Did you know that he of the Photograph
Gallery, our artis'ic Iriend Spcnce. has returned
from li e classic shades of Indiana county, and
is once more willing and anxious to take ev
erybody's picture in the best -tyle of the ari,
wi.i.di is just exactly what Spence understands
full well how to do. Call soon aud often at
his elegant Gallery on H gh meet.
Cheap Goons. Spring comes on apace, and
soon instead of the howling of the Not th wind,
will be zephyrs and the bloom of flowers. This
being so, and to the end that his shelves may ha
cleaned out for spring goods, V. S. Harker tells
us that ne designs from this date forward sell
ing his stock of wintergondsnt cost. The stock
is very large and choice, and persons of every
imrginable taster can pick out therefrom a suit
or single garment to please him. Try the ex
periment and be convinced.
It is not so generally known, perhaps, as it
should bo, that as good flour as evt'r was knead
ed into bread can be bought at ull times, and
bought at the right figures, from E. J. Mills,
dealer in flour, feed, tmcon. brooms, lamps, etc.
Mr. Mills don't claim to keep a mammoth store
or an endless variety of good, but whit! he docs
keep may be be depended on as first class, and
his prices well, no dealer pretends to seil at
lower rates. Go aud see how it is yourself.
Watch Oct! The American is said to be the
best watch made. We are all glad that this is
so, for are we not all patriotic, and is it not to
us a source ot pride to be able to point to any
special excellence in cither literature, art or
science created by a countryman? The Amer
ican watch may lie said to be a "national insti
tution." It was patented by an American, is
tnado by an American company, and is sold by
C. T. lloborts. High street, Eocusburrf.
li. Conr.w must sell out hi present stock of
furs, 110 matter wlni.t the loss may Ire. So we
would advise nil who wish to purehaso furs
to call at No 227 Main street Johnstown, and
obtain furs tit less than half price. E. Cohen is
hound to sell out nt any loss, llealso keeps on
hand allMiinds of hats and caps, shirts, collars,
and gent's f urnishiug goods, which will li sold
extremely low, as he is bound to close out all
bis preseot stock; in order to prepare for the
