ne wspaoer in Johnstown asserts that
J: O. Lake; Esq., could not get the delegates
from Loretto borough, his former home. This
is not trde, as said delegates were instruct
ed to Vote for him, and before their election
a promise was exacted from them that they
would so vote. It is trne that they voted
against Mr. Lake in the convention, but in
doing ho they misrepresented their constitu
ent. "We do not mention this in order to
cast any reflection on Mr. Koso, but simply
to refute A false statement.
n Tuesday, per favor of Fish Commis
sioner Hewitt, a number of black bass were
received here, from tho State fisher v, and
distributed in the various waters of the
neighborhood. The fish are a year old and
from four to six inches in length, and seem
ed to be in good coudiMon when placed in
their new habitation. This is the flrnt in
stalment of bass that has been brought here,
but if everything goes right, in a couple of
years onr waters will teem with this mag
nificent representative of the finny tribe.
Martin V. Fry two years Ago got mar
ried in Somerset county, which of itself is
not remarkable. But twenty twr? rSOnths af
terward, he got married again, this time it
.lohnstown, and that too without cither hav
ing Ki.ieci lus first wife or undergone the
formality of procuring a divorce. This
struck the staid people of the latter place
is being so signal a departure from the cus
tomary and correct way of doing things that
a warrant was issued and the police arrested
him and a certain bail-bond represents that
he will be called on to answer the charge of
bigamy at the next District Court term.
A committee of arrangements, consist
ing of Messrs. O. W. Wisegarvar, . 1,.
Freet, and J. 1$. Decker, have notified Mr.
C. T. Itoterts that a basket picnic will be
held by the employees of the Altonna car
department at the usual grounds, Ebens
burg, to-morrow (Saturday). The picnick
ers will be accompanied by. their wives,
daughters And sweethearts, and friends. A
general invitation to the people of Kbcns
bnrg to participate in the pleasures of the
occasion is extended an invitation which
we feol sure will be eagerly accepted by all
who delicht io the old-fashioned though ra
tional enjoyment peculiar to picnics.
On Wednesday evening of last week, a
ploasnie party consisting of seven young
man ana tnree young laities started in a
hack from Altoona to drive a distance into
the country. They accomplished the trip,
but while on their way homeward the hack
went over an embankment thirty or forty
feet high, carrying its living freight with it
with the exception of thed river, who jump
ed in time and escaped unhurt. Of tho re
mainder, two were killed outright, Edward
Iiohn and Lista Hockenlterry, ami the oth
ers were more or less injured. The neck
and arm of the latter were broken. It was
a fearful ending to an evening of festivity.
1 hat prince of pedlers and peerof clever
gentlfimen, Mr. John H. Moore, whose abid
ing placrt is Altoona, but who is perfectly at
home wherever he reius in his spank'ing
team t'f four fine horses and opens out his
large, bindsorns and well filled notion wayon
for the renetlt of his numerous customers,
has placed nn under obligations for a !ox of
valuable knick-knacks, consisting of quite a
nutnler of desirable articles for home anil
ofiice use. Mr. Moore is a good fellow any
way you take him, and as ha expects to re
turn to Northern Cambria in a few days,
we trust his merchant friend will take ad
vantage of the occasion to take off his hands
anything they may nsed in his line.
If our generous young friend "Willie"
we presume he is young because his natne
indicates as much will furnish us with the
balance of his cognomen, all doubts as to the
identity of the kind gentleman who rent us
a barrel full of the largest and finest Early
Rose potatoes we have ever feasted upon
will be completely removed and we shall
breathe easier. As it is we only know that
"Willie" did the kindly deed and that his
letter was post-marked "Loretto," and while
we are none the less thankful for his very
generous and very acceptable present, we
would be glad to know the full name of one
hose heart prompted bo kindly an act, so
that we might treasure it in our heart of
hearts for all time to corn".
The Altoona Ka'iiral tells Ibis story:
The other day a Cambria county man who
missed tho Way Passenger at Poll's Mills,
and not wishing to wait for tlm Mail in the
evening, boarded a freight train, getting in
side of a lox car where two tramps were
stealing their passage. The train had scarce
ly pulled out before the tramp-hnt tbe car
door and coolly requested the Cambrian to
disgorge rtll the loose change andother valu
ables he had about him. The stubliorn son
of the mountain refused to accede to their re
quest aud intimated that the first man who
laid hands on hirn would be shot on the spot.
Notwithstanding he hadn't as much as a
penknife in the weapon way, lie Beared the
tramps and rode to this city unmolested.
We hate been shown by our townsman,
John Fenlon, Esq., a neatly printed card of
invitation for himself and wife to attend the
nuptials of Mr. Mich'l Hook and Miss Min
nie II., daughter of Colonel and Mrs. C. W.
Wingard, formerly of Bbensburg, which is
announced to take place at St. Mary's Cathe
dral, Ban Francisco, at 10 o'clock, a. m., on
Monday next, which is also the twentieth
anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs.
Wingard. The happy young bride as is to
be has the best wUhes of the many friends
of herself and family in this the.ir old home
for a long life of unalloyed felicity, and al
though a total stranger, the priuter man can
not refrain from expressing the hope that
the Hook which is alwnt to impale so pre
cious a Vinm is well baited with trne moral
worth and all the other attributes of perfect
manhood. So mote it be.
Although the day was delightful, tbe
arrangements made and provisions supplied
for the enjoyment and feeding of a multitude
ample and first class, and the cause for which
it was givon eminently deserving, we regret
to say that our own people, as well as those of
other places which have benefited largely of
Ebensburg's bounty on like occasions, did
not attend so fully as they should hare done
the picnic on Wednesday last in aid of the
schools of the good Sisters of St. Joseph, and
the result was rather a slim showing in the
way of greenback. For a certain reason to
morrow' festivities will nodonbt be better
attended. To Mr. Abel Lloyd the thauks
of all interested in the late picnic are emi
nently due, not only because he gave his fiue
grove free and the use of his tvn-pm alley,
which realized quite a haudsome sum for
the good cau.e, at a merely uominal figure,
but because he did everything possible to
make the affair what it was not financially,
a complete success. '
On Tnesdav, Mr. Phil Cronse went hnnt
ice. He went only a conple of miles from
town, and returned in the afternoon with
Pixteen squirrels. Twelve of these trrels
were shot off one and the same treel The
name day, Sam Henry and two companions
squandered two or three hours in the woods,
and succeeded in bagging teen of the
same species of rodent. These indications
of a plentifulness of game in our neignbor
hood have created unusual activity amongst
our sportsmen, and the demand for any
thing in the shape of a bluuaerbnss, either
to buy or t borrow, is unparalleled. Pheas
ants ire also plenty, a large number
already been slaughtered. The crop of nuts
of all kinds this fall is n""""";??:
an.l it is te this fact, doubtless, tbat the
largely inereased population of our woods
is owing. The attention of Dern, or the Al
toona paper Joe Parks, and other eminent
trigger-pullers living at a distance, is di
rected to this item. They can come and see

'THF.DAUSTt.r.Sfi." TbepanntlessFire
Company is an organization of which Eb
ensburg is and has good reason to be proud.
Composed as it is of some of the best and
ablest young men in the town, its domestic,
affairs from its inception down to the pres
ent time have been conducted in such a
manner as to win general applause, while
the work it has been called upon to perform
in a professional w-ay, happily for ns as a
town net onerous, has yet been well done.
Beginning without a dollar in the treasury,
by a series of enterprises original in concep
tion and bold in execution it ha snccee led
in realizing quite a large sum of money.
This money, of the major part of it, has un
mistakably been "put where it would do
the most good." It has been expanded in
the purchase t?f a library, numbering sever
al hundred volumes, and embracing stan
dard works as well as the latest and best
miscellaneous publications of thfl day.
With commendable laterality the nseof this
library is not confined to the members of the
Company, bttt now-members, on the pay
ment of a nominal p.ini per year, are admit
ted to its privileges. This, of itself, is suffi
cient to commend the organization as a pub
lic benefaction, while th efforts it puts forth
for the presetvation of property when tho
flames surge high, are appreciated at their
proper value.
From every indication, the Dauntless is
destined to be a permanent company. Its
officers are capable, its membership large,
its finances adequate. We are assured that,
no untoward accident intervening, it will
not be permitted to siuk, as have so many
public enterprises of a somewhat similar
character in our midst heretofore. Such be
ing the case, and to the end that the unwrit
ten history of the Company may uot perish
with the lapse of time, but. bo affectionately
r'membered down to the last moment of its
usefulness, we propose placing on record a
brief reminiscence connected with the earli
est days of its existence.
Four years ago, after tho occurrence of a

the scare which alwavn followed such an
I event, and determined to purchase a new
engine forthwith. Accordingly a meeting
of citizens was called at the Court House,
and a goodly assemblage was present there
at. Speeches were made and the utter ica
bility of the town to successfully cope with
the devouring element was painted in graph
ic colors. Some resolutions were,also,adopt
ed, and the upshot of the matter that a
new engine was purchased by Council.
Naturally the next thing in order was the
formation of a company to run the machine.
A company was formed and a committee ap
pointed to draw up a constitution and by
laws for its guidance. The committee, in
the discharge of its duties, met for delibera
tion. The first business that came before
it fnr rnniiiiln1iftn wan the lect.on rf fi
Each delegate j tam f,,r the Company. Here occurred a
I hitch. Some ef the committeemen thought
I that "Cambria" would be the most appro
priate name, others expressed a preference
for "Mountain" or "Mountaineer," aud yet
others contended that there was a charm
about the word "Allegheny" that ought to
make it peculiarly acceptable. I ndeed. each
one seemed to have come already cocked and
primed with a name, aud by pome odd coin
cidence each and every name suggested sa
vored strongly of some point or peculiarity
relating to our geographical location. In
the end, as a compromise acceptable to all
parties, it was Agreed to discard all.merely
local names, and select instead some general
one.
This meeting of the rommittee Was held
in a High street business establishment,
where paper collars by the box were expos
ed for sale. After each memlier had shut
his eyes two minu'es and a half to think of
a suitable namo, and then opened them with
out having thought o it or anything like it,
one of the number chanced to fasten his ey
on a row of collar-boxes. They were label
ed -
'Dauntless."
He made the proper suggestion: ; it wrs
accepted, and itsocarne about that an unpre
teutions box of collars lent its name to a
fire organization which in point of efficiency
is second to none in the laud. It was au
unassuming way to choose a name. There
was no romance" about It. Many a far more
bigh-sou tiding aggregation of syllables might
have been arrived at. But the name Jits

We feel so little put out about tho ill
ristitred remarks which a squib in our last
issue elicited from the Johustown Tribune,
that we are disposed to make no reply ex
cept, to say that we do not believe that Cas.
Easly could find it. in his heart to speak ao
unkindly of us, and hence we are ns farfiom
concluding that he wrote the article in ques
tion as we are that he. meant ourself person
ally when he declared on a previous occa
sion, through the medium of a paper which
often preaches but seldom practices the idea
of directing all remarks to the responsible
editor only, that he picked the Freeman
editor out of a gutter and wiped the slob
bers off bis mouth. "There is a charity
among the class of Christians to which
Easly "professes to belong" which forbids
tbe thought that he would attribute to any
man the indulgence of a vice which he is
morally if not naturally incapable of com
mitting. Self-rerpect demands, however, a
denial of the assertion that we told a "delib
erate lie" when we said that the Tribune
named certain county officials one day as
p'aintiffs and the next as defendants in cer
tain suits at law a fact which the issues of
that paper of the 16th and 17th insts. will
abundantly verify. We have written many
items out of pure cussedness, but never with
to gratify the opposition spirits who figured in
the matter, and vt-o know of nothlnir in the con.
stitution of this Slate to prevent us from hav
ing our opinion.
Now we have stated none but simple fuels In
this letter; but If it should become re-oessary
we can give a detailed Recount from the first
proposition to build a church there down to
the present time, which would no doubt uucev
er some very unpleasant transactions.
"I'nclc Sam" siiys our taxes are trebled
under the new order ot things, and that we
would he glad to return to the old union bsl
tween ns. Let him ti ll that to the marine. The
most illiterate citizen in our cinfeltrncu would
spurn such an idea, for it is well known that
v-e are nhr to emUm a .?- -rfi male teacher at
a salary equal to what they pny the pri'wip"
of the hiyh rrhmol at Summer liili, and to do this
we huve only a little more than half the num
ber of mills on the dollar to pay that. tbey have
in the way of school taxes.
And now, although we are proud of the nam
of rebel, we think it ill becomes the people of
Croyle township to dt-oiirnate us by such a title,
knowing as they do that we as rr hrl were suc
cessful in relieving our nccKs from t he yoke of
tyranny aud exaction with which they had en
vironed us.
In conclusion, would it not be well for those
cant Ht Summerhill, when they hear the truth
told, though it should come f rom a Sout h Foi k
er, not to h little themselves in the eyes of the
people of Cambria county by cnlliw it sareti'uir'
We know Ihcy don't often hear the truth unless
it comes from abroad, but for the suke of their
children they should not let on that they know
go llttio about it. Very truly, Demetiuls.

Messrs. K. H. Brown, of Johnstown, and
part of thia procedure. On the strength of
tbe information, the Dietor was arrested
tbe same day and brought here and commit
ted to jail. It is but justice to say that tbe
prisoner tells another and totally different
story from the foregoing, the truth of which
he expresses his ability to' establish when
his case shall come before a Court of justice.
Scientific. Every particular part of tbe
human body has had its average natural pro
perties, constituents, quantities, Aic, reduc
ed upon scientific principles to a standard of
nearly definite proportions in health.
This serves for the mere correct elucida
tion of disease by comparison and measure
ment of the deviations from the healthy
standard. Thus the average proportionate
of the blood in health being reduced to a
standard, a ny considerable deviation from
this standard quality of the blood, is disease.
The same in the nrinary excretion ; the
average natural- proportionate constituents
of the urine in health from the standard, any
considerable deviation ffarn which basis,
eithef in proportion ot constituents, exhib
its disease.
This latter is a practical fact which we are
daily demonstrating at ottr office ("So. 132,
Grant street) and which any one can have
tested to his enlire satisfaction by sending a
standard specimen (morning's urine) for
scientific analysis and examination.
If we fati to detect the "morbid condi
tions," if any, or to dHermine the aatureof
the disease or the organs affected, as the
lungs, liver, stomach, brain, kidneys, womb,
&c, there shall be no charge made.
Send lib a vial of morning urine by erprer
(not by mat) with' name, age, and P. O. ad

necessary medicines. Drs. Olkshuk.

The testimony of our physicians is conclu
sive as to its value ; aud we are personally
acquainted with scores of cases where it has
been ttsed with the best of results. It will
restore gray hair to its original color, and
leaves it glossy, and in a healthy condition,
while, for heads troubled with dandruff, or
any disease of tbe scalp, it acts like a charm
in cleansing them. Try it, and you will not
be disappointed. Lowell Courier, May 2, 1863.
