Mr. John Parke, of Johnstown, he of

fracture his right leg while engaged in har

of a stump, and in the effort to disloge it
the horses jerked the implement loose with
such force as to cause it to strike and in
jure Mr. S. in the manner stated. Consid
ering that the inclemency of the weather

Some days ago, the Johnstown Voice
announced with entire confidence that Col.
Jacob M. Campbell would be elected Kep

the Iiadical State Convention. As the ed

tion the future political events of this coun
ty, we of course believed what he said.
But in his paper of Wednesday last he goes
squarely back on Col. Campbell and plainly
expresses the opinion that Capt. Thomas
Davis, of this place "wthc man." By way
of adding insult to injury, he advises Col.
C. to withdraw in Capt. D.'w favor, and
with refreshing coolness tells the Colonel
that he couW be elected prodded there ten

IIOKitntLE Trackdt. A Hot Kir.r.Ri
by a Companion. Near what is known as
Moccaxin Hollow, in Mt, Pleasant township
north, wa the scene of a horrible crime on
Thursday afternoon. A boy named Georo
JShatim, aj;ed about ten years, was murdered
by his -ouijianiou. It appears that George
was sent to a store some distance off for
npar, and some medicines for his mother,
and after he had Ixteu at the store and pur
chased the articles he started for home, but
never reached there alive. The family did
not eunpect that anything had lefalleii their
little boy until late in th evening, when he
failed to return. They then se.toutfor their
neijrh!ors in search of him. but to their as
tonishment the toy had not been there, and
the only information they could gain was
from one of the neighlor's boys that he had
lieen seen in company, on his way home from
the store, with a boy named Timothy ltacon,
near the woods where the body was found
the next day. Suspicion being aroused that
all was not right, the ueighlor set out next
morning in search of Geornie, but he w
not found until about noon on Friday, in the
woods near whre the boys were seen the
day previous. Some of the parties who were
in searoh of the boy came across a newly
made heap of leaves behind a log, which,
attracting their attention, they proceeded a
once to investigate the peculiar pile. After
removing the leaves, what a heartrending
and sickening spectacle was presented to
the eye one thatalmost beggars description
and made the stoutest heart quail. The
skull was broken in in several places and
the body was terribly mutilated and bruised.
In short, the whole person was beaten black
and blue. The alarm was given to the other
parties engaged in the search, and they has
tened to the scene. Great was the indigna
tion, and many were the anathemas heaped
upon the perpetrator of the terrible crime.
The body was removed to the home of the
stricken family. Suspicions at once rested
on Timothy, who was seen in company with
the murdered boy near where the crime was
committed. From the appearance of the
body the deed was committed with a club;
and steps were taken todiscover, if possible,
the murderer. The constable, accompanied
bv some of the neighlors, repaired to Mr.
Dillon's house, the step-father of llacon,
and found Timothy in the barn ; he was ar
rested, and when being informed of the
charge upon which he was arrested, he de
nied it emphatically, and persisted in his in
nocence, ltacon was brought to this place,
and i now in jail awaiting his trial. QrttixM

Destructive Conflagration-. On last
Saturday morning, between 1 and 2 o'clock,
the large hotel at Loretto Springs, together
with the smaller hotel building and some
outbuildings, were totally destroyed by fire,
the work no doubt of an incendiary. The
property was purchased last fall from Mr.
V. A. Gibbons, its former proprietor, by Mr.
Joseph liardine and others associated with
him, for the sum of 310,000. The amount of
furniture and other property destroyed ises
timated at about S",000, which, with the de
struction of the buildings, would make the
total loss about S17.000. The entire insur
ance on buildings and furniture foots up
$12,500. Very little of the furniture was
saved, there being no persons present to aid
in removing it except Mr. Bardine'a family
(he himself being absent) and Capt. Jeffries
and family, all of whom occupied the main
building. It is a serious loss to the whole
neighborhood, but esecially to Mr. Hardine,
w ho is an honest and highly esteemed citi
zen, and whose anticipations of a more than
usually crowded and profitable season have
thus been suddenly nipped in the bud.
We understand that it has not yet been
definitely determined whether the erection
of new buildings will be commenced during
the coining nimnwr or not. That they iJ
eventually be rebuilt, however, we have no

which was later in the season than I have
ever heretofore observed it. The grass and

O'llarra and Miss Annie B. Pauish, both
of Minister township. Of course we went
and indulged in the good things; and it only
remains for us now to congratulate our
young friends on the happy termination of
their courtship, and wish them all the feli
city attainable, as well here as in the great
hereafter. Frank is one of the cleverest
fellows above ground and Annie is as ami
able and agreeable a young lady as can be
found anywhere. Hence there is no reason
to presume that they will ever have cause
to regret the s:ep they have taken, "for
better or for worse," while life endures.

Dear Freeman There are two classes
of people in this world. Oue class are
caTIcd gentlemen. No matter what the
other class are called. A true gentleman
never meddles with other people's business.
No matter what others do. A true gentle
man always loves to witness the prosperity
of his neighbor. No matter what others
love to see.
Local is somewhat abundant here, but
we haven't time to write it all, and to write
one-half or one-fourth of it would not be
doing justice to the subject. So we will let
the local slide this week.
Boys and young men who attend the col
ercd church with the intention of turning
their religious services into ridicule, bail
better keep away. If the darkies are.not
the same color as their tormentors, they
have rights which every gentleman and
every good citizen is bound to respect, and
it is degrading to the white race, and espe
cially to these young men themselves, to
poke fun at any form of public worship,
or any class of public worshippers. Better
remain away than attend to laugh and cut
up. Some of our Republican fathers and
mothers had better see after their boys who
attend the colored church.
There is an immense quantity of big tim
ber lying about the old factory in Wood

M. P. Meagher has received still another

not but wish any man success who shows
so much enterprise, and all in a moral way.
The reason we want to go to the Legis
lature is that we have a cousin there from
Pittsburg, and we would like to go down
just to keep the Democratic party even with
the Republican. We could easily knock
the spots off him. But if you do not ac

A HoRRint.B Crime. Four Neokois
Assault ajii Oi'traoe a Little Ccl
orki Girl. Between 8 and 9o'clock, Sun
day evening, Wm. Warther, Fred. Steinhoff
and K. A. lieck, while passing down Wash
ington Ktreet, between Second and Third,
heard a sharp, shrill out-cry, as of some one
in mortal agony and trepidation, apparently
issuing from the little brick school house
yard in the rear of the Court House. At this
moment they saw an individual running from
them. Listening a moment they thought
they heard a scuffle between two persons in
side of th yard and a suppressed shriek.
They entered the yard, and were confronted
by three negroes, the fourth baring fled on
their approach, who were holding and strug
gling with a small negro girl named ilalissa
Dennison, a daughter of a widow woman re
siding up Woodcock Valley. Two or Hie
negroes remaining rled precipitately, while
the third was seized by Mr. Warther, who
with heroic fortitude, held on to him until
he lodged him safely in jail. This culprit
gave the names of the other ffenders to
Chief of Police Westbrook, and by twelve
o'clock two more were arrested. The fourth
has not been arrested. The names of the
perpetrators of this infamous outrage are
John Bell, Joseph Yaw, Webster Thomas
and David Oantz. The little girl was en
ticed from the residence of her employer,
James H. Boring, Esq., by telling her that
her mother had come to town and wassto
piug at Mosy Jackson's, and had sent for
her to come and see her at that place, and
when she was passing the school house they
seized her and dragged her into the yard
and outraged her. A hearing was had, on
Monday morning last, before Esq. Swoope,
and the rascals were marched off to limbo in
default of bail. Huntingdon Journal.

PuMPKiKvrLE, May 5, 1873.
Mr. Editor The followi ng essay was
found among the papers of a late lamented
member of the New York Farmers' Club.
It is a paper far aliove the average of such
protlnctioriB, being remarkable for original
ity. Tbe profundity of thought displayed
in it is also something wonderful for this'era
of superficial thinking:
A. FEW HIKT8 FOB FARMERS.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Farmers' Club :
At the request of several gentlemen connect
ed with this Club, I have prepared the fol
lowing paper, containing some hil.ts which
I hope may be of great benefit, if my sugges
tions are only acted npon. Farming is not
so remunerative an occupation as it should
be; One evidence among many of this fact
is in the raising of corn. In the Spring, just
after it comes up, the corn is sometimes al
most totally destroyed by crows and black
birds. Now, if the farmer would use a little
forethought, this could be prevented by the
following simple means: Procure a suffi
cient number of hand-glasses to cover all the
hills you intend to plant. Put them on after
the corn is planted and leave them there
until the corn has grown sufficiently to be
free from danger. The cheapness of the
plan is a feature that will commend it to all,
as the cost is merely nominal not more than
fifty cents per hand-glass. It is plainly evi
dent that more than enough could be saved
by their use to pay for .hem the first year.
If used with care, they will last a great many
years.
Another prolific source of trouble to farm
ers is the raising of beans in sufficient quan
tities for family use. I allude of course to
lole bens, as no Christian farmer would use
any'other kind if he could get these without
too much tramliln an.t vi.oiica Aa i veil
knowu, when planted among' corn, as is now !
the usual custom, they are an almost intoler
able nuisance when it comes to cutting off
corn, and also iu the husking of it. If not
raised among the corn, the. farmer has to j:o
to work, with great expenditure of muscular
strength ami precious time, and cut poles in i
the woods. This method makes beans too
expensive a luxury to be indulged iu by the
poorer class of farmers. I$y the subjoined !
method, however, beans can be raised iu !
large quantities at a very small expense.
The plan I suggest, although original with
me, has not been patented, as I have the wel
fare of the "dear people" too much at heart
to selfishly monopolize any invention to my
own personal aggrandizement. Firstly, then,
ascertain how many hills of beans you intend
to plant; then go to an iron foundry and get
polos cast of iron. If your ground is rich
and there is a prospect of your beans grow
ing to an unusual length, get the rods cast
ten feet long at least. It the ground is poor
eight feet would perhaps be about the right
length. They should be about two inches
in diameter, and should be cast a little rough
so that the bean could vine up with greater
celerity. To prevent rust, the poles should
lie painted. Should there be any difficulty
in getting the poles to stand upright, go to a
Hiuiig-. ihici uiiu iiiiu iu picpira tur you
blocks ot stone about two teel square and one
foot thick, with holes drilled in the centre.
Have suitable holes prepared where you in
tend planting and then put in your blocks.
You will then insert your poles in the places
drilled for them and tighten by pouriug molt
en lead around the base of each pole, when
they will bo sure to stand.
As I have no fouudry nor any interest in
glass werks, my disinteresiedneBa cannot be
called in question.
Hoping that you will be gracious enough
to publish the above, I sign myself
The farmer's friend,
Jonathan Squash.
Clbahfield Twf., May 5, 1873.
Mr. Editor I have taken up. my peu to
write to you on three or four different occa
sions, but have always laid it down without
accomplishing the task. That I might as
well have done so this time may or may not
be true. Bo that as it mav, I wish to sav that
1 have stood by and witnessed democrats de
serting our party iu this section, not only
singly and in couples, but by the half dozen
or more not exactly leaving the party al
together, but refusing to vote any part of the
county ticket, from Assembly down to Au
ditor, though cheerfully casting their ballots
for Mr. Speer for Congress. The reason as
signed for this wholesale backsliding may be
given in a few words and in their own lan
guage, as nearly as I cannot recollect it : In
the county convention of '71 we had but bare
one nomination north of Ebensburg, and that
for the petty office of Auditor, and iu '72 only
one, and that the small office of County Com
missioner. These things, along with others,
added to the fact that we are oppressed with
undue taxation, which is dri vingjmen todes
peration, is what is doing the business. I
think something must soon be done, or we
will surely go under. In the coming con
vention I would like to see a resolution
adopted which would rule cut every aspi
rant for office who is not fully competent to
fulfil to the letter the duties pertaining there
to ; also, the passage of resolutions looking
to economy in the public expenditures of the
county as much as possible, the curtailing of
expenses to the greatest extent practicable,
thus securing the reduction of taxes, and to
nominate no man for the position of Auditor
who will not pledge himself to render a full
and fair account of the receipts and expend
itures of the county, and not content himself
with giving initials merely, such as O. D. P.
and the like. The people want to know to
a dot what becomes of their money, and ini
tials only don't furnish that information.
My letter may already be too long, but I
cannot rfrir from Baying in addition that
the cry about heavy taxation is so loud in the
northern part of the county at least that it
must soon make itself heard in the councils
of the party. It is a fact that the rents of
some farms, or one-third of the grain raised
thereon, would scarcely pay the taxes. And
this not alone true of poor farms, but will
apply with equal force to manv reasonably
good farms in the possession of competent i
farmers. lours, &c, Tax-Payer.
Halixa there ! are you aware that from
Huntley, the fair dealer and square, you
can buy the best of hardware, and home
made tinware, and all kinds of wood ware,
liesides every style of glassware, and grocer
ies cheap, fresh and rare, at prices that will
for cheapness compare with those of any like
dealer here or elsewhere ? If you don't
know these facts, call at Huntley's big
house-furnishing depot, Ebensburg, and you
will soon see '"how it is yourself ;" but if
you do know them and don't act on the
knowledge, we can only say that you are
standing very much in your light, and the
sooner you get out of it the better for your
pocket-book.

Our yonnr friend Frank has not only made
an entire Parrish happy for lire, but has sent
a genuine gleam of welcome fcunehine into our
sanctum in shape of a most substantial and
generous contribution to our depleted exche
quer. Among all our ec)imiiuanees we know
none more deserving of life's choicest blessings
than our voung friend aforesaid, and we are
perfectly turs that far tis a g d wif and a
faithful helpmate can ennti bute to bis domes
tic felicity, he has secured t. at best or earthly
noons in the p-rson of his xmiuoie and estima
ble young bride. That they may long live in
the enjoyment of all the happiuess that true
lore and mutual forbearance can bring, and
die at last in the well-founded hopeof a tdessed
immortality, is the sincere wish of their many
friends and well-wishers.
