A bill has been offered in the Sanate at
Harnsbnrg for the purchase of a site and
the erection of a new penitentiary in the
central part of the State. The district
would embrace nineteen counties, Cambria
being the western Imnndary, Dauphin the
eastern; Frauklin the southern, and Clinton
the northern. Thirteen commisMoners are
named in the bill to carry out the provisions,
li. L. Johnston. Esq . of this place, Iteing
one of the nnmlnr. The bill appropriates
$100,000 to lie appled to the purchase of a
site and the erection of the necessary build
ing. Th e immissioners will only be allow
ed the actual expenses incurred by them in
performing their duties.
It was left for our neighliorhood of he
Herald to discover from the pay rolls of the
Adjutant General's department that $25,
378.70 is the amount due the Fifth regiment,
to which the Cambria Guard, of this place,
and i ho Jefferson Guard, of Wilmore, are
attached. Considering that there are only i
alKTiit 350 men in the entire regiment, ilie
average amount due to each soldier, if this
statement was Correct, would lie little less
than $73; bnt as it is the Fifth division, and
not the Fifth regiment, that is the creditor in
this instance, it Makes a vast sight of differ
ence to "our boyS.Jn blue'." More' the
pity for the Herald's Veracity and the Sol
dier's capacity.
Three tine sheep belonging to Mr. John
T. Williams, of Cambria township, alamt
three miles west of this place, were killed
by three large wolves on Friday night, last,
the rest of the flock, warned by the fate of
'heir comrades, fortunately takintr refuge
in the bam. Next morning Mr. Williams
and several of bis neighbors went in pursuit
of the wolves, whom they followed several
miles, and had tb,ey succeeded in getting
within shooting distance it would have been
bad for the wolves. On Sunday night their
hideous yells were again heard in the same
neighliorhood, but this time they failed to
secure any "lanib, ram, sheen meat or mut
ton," and were forced to go as they came,
w it li empty stomachs. Mr. Williams claims
to have as-isted iu the capture, many years
ago, with the aid of traps, of no less than
thirty-five of these bloodthirsty varmints,
ngaiiift whom from present appearances,
our farmer friends tdiould take care to be on
their guard.
The publication of the Altoona Daily
Tribune, which ceased in April, 1875, was
resumed on Monday morning last. Tbe
former daily was a most excellent paper,
but. 'he new Tribune far surpasses it in many
respects. It is larger than it was liefore,
ami, if possible, presents a neater and more
attractive apiiearance. It furnishes the la
test and fulleht telegraph news, while its
local department contain everything of
interest that transpires in and about Al
toona. The publication of such a paper is a
credit to that, city, ami if her reading aud
intelligent citizens fail toexiend to it a most
lilieral and generous support, it will lie a
deep reproach to theio and will prove their
inability to appreciate home enterprise and
unquestionable merit in a daily newspaper.
We invoke for the 7i!tine the fullest meas
ure of success, which it monf certainly de
serves. V. S. If we wan, one or more cor
ners of 'he Tribune turned down and printed
011, we'll do it ourselves.
Much complaint has lieen made of late
by our subscriber at Wilmore and other
points lietweeu Crossou and Coneinangh in
regard to very annoying delays in the de
livery of their papers, which on several oc
casions have been carried beyond their d8
tinatiotisand not returned until tbe following
Monday, and even then, as iu one or two
instances, they reached them in a badly de
moralized condition. Of course the fault is
not with us, as the FREEMAN for those
points is iuvaribly sent from here either on
Thursday eveuing or Friday morning, but
we have a proposition to make mat will
remedy the evil, nevertheless, and it is this:
If our patrons at the various poat-nfficea be
tween Cresson and Conemaogh will see to 1.
that someone is present at the respective
stations to receive tbe packages, ami will
inform us of such arrangement, Mr. Albert
For i, the gentlemanly agent at Cresson, has
kindly volunteered to forward the Freeman
to those poiutR per Accommodation train
west ou Friday morning This arrangement,
we are sure, can be effected without expense
aud with very little trouble to any one, and
we trust that those of our friei.ds who are
interested iu Ihe matter will see that it is
attended to without delay. If need lie, we
will send the Freeman free to any one who
will undertake the task.
AGrajtd Musical Success When we
promised our home readers last week ami
the week previous that they would be treat
ed to one of the finest entertainments lhat
had ever lieen given in this place if they
would only attend the concert at. the Court
House on Friday evening last, we knew
whereof we wrote ; ami all who were present
on lhat occasion will hear witness to the fact
that we rather underestimated than overes
timated the tntisit'al abilities of the young
ladies and gents (leu in number) comprising
St. John's Choral Club of Altoona, who, al
though only amatenrs, gave us an entertain
ment which no professional troupe visiting
this place has ever equalled, much less ex
celled. It was indeed a rich niurical and
liteary treat, and was enjoyed by a large
and appreciative audience with a zest that
we have certainly never seen surpassed.
The programme was all that could lie desired
while the singing ami acting were perfect
and pleasing iu every respect. The rich
voices and graceful movements of the young
Wdlcs were an enpecial source of delight to
all iu al tendance, while the performance of
Mins Rocney, young though she is, in solos
and accompaniments on the piano, to say
nothing of herexquisite singing, marked her
as an artist of very much more than ordina
ry culture. All In all, it was the liest enter
tainment of the kind that Elieiishurg has
ever lieen favored with, ami while the selec
tions were first daxsaud admirably rendered
throughout, the gem of the evening, by
common consent, was "Hear me, pretty
Swiss," a characteristic song in which the
Misses Gorrity sang ami acted with a sweet
ness of voice aud gracefulness of action that
thrilled the entire audience ami virtually
"brought down the house" in thunders of
applauo. The "Connecticut Peddler," a
comic refrain sang by Miss Haas ami the
Misses Goiity, was also chosen among the
m"ny flue selections for special marks of ap
proval, and hal to lie repeated at Iheearueat
request, ot many delighted auditors. The
attendance, as we have Intimated, was very
large for this community, and the amount
realized over and a'.aive expamnes, for the
cause it was designed to benefit, reached
about fifty dollar for which the Catholic
congregation of this pla.re have certainly
good reason to lie thankful to the performers
as well as the public, while for vurself we
are pleased to know that we had much to
do with the coming to onr town of St. John's
Choral Club, which will never want for a
hearty welcome from our ieople should it
ever return either in Its own behalf or iu aid
of an equally worthy cause.

Killed bt the Cars. Mr. William C. :
Mausuti, of Mt. Gilead, Ohio, met with a
shocking death at Altoona on Tuesday
morning last. It seems that while en route
for New York city, he alighted from the
Pacific Express for the purpose of partaking
refreshments, which he bought from one
of the venders of hot coffee, cakes, etc., who
frequent the depot at that point, and while
so engaged a portion of the train was cut
loose for the purpose of either dropping a
car or attaching another one to it. Suppos
ing that tlit train was about to leave with
out him, the unfortunate man, as we learn
from the Daily Tribune, ran to get on Ixiard,
and the presumption is that, he obtained
only a frail grip on the car railing, and, fall
ing back against one of the iron column
supporting the roof of the depot, was in lorn
thrown under the cars, the wheels of which
passed over the right side of his head, crush
ing it in a horrible manner and producing
instant death.
instant death. . An examination ot the un
fortunate man' effects not only revealed his
name, but showed that he was prominent
ami wealthy, and that he was interested in '
gold mining at Gainesville, Ga. The value
of the drafts, notes and other articles found :
in his posssession aggregated alwmt 850,000,
one of the draftft beir.ff for S20.0O0 011 the
First National Gold Rank of Sun Francisco,
and another for $2i5,616.$2 on the First ,
National Rank of Jersey City, ihe other
valuables found on his person and turned j
over, together with said drafts, to Hon. John j
Iieilly, Superintendent of Transportation, 1
to lie retained until called for by parties le. j
gaily entitled to receive them, sufficing to !
make up all if not more than the balance of ;
the sum stated. 1 lie it-ceased was a n ne
looking man, apparently about 8H years of
age, and a member of the Masonic fraternity,
though whether married or single the ac
count does not state. The remains were

As AtPisr. Avalanche. In the sum
mer of 1X04, a party of tourists, while visit
ing the Alps, climbed, with great difficulty,
to au elevated ami snow-covered plateau, in
order to obtain a lielter view of Swiss scene
ry, and contract the lieauly and richness of
midsummer below with the bleakness ami
sterility of midwinter around and alxtve
them, 'in play they rolled the moist snow
into larr balls ami crowded it over the edgn
of the plateau. In falling it struck softer
snow, which immediately gave way, and
soon an avalanche was tearing down the
mountain side burying ami destroying ev
erything in its course. As the handful of
si.ow liecaine the irresistable avalanche, so
the hacking cough with sore throat ami ca
tarrh, if tieglecltd, speedily develops inro
that dread destroyer, Consumption. In the
early stages, I)r Sage's Catarrh Ketrredy wiil
effect a cure, though if the blood be a fleeted
or impoverished it must lie pun tied ami en
riched by lr. Pierce's Golden Medical Ois
covery, and the liver ami liowel kept active
by his Pleasant Purgative Pellets. Many
who despaired of life ami had lieen givei: up
to die by physicians and friends, owe Iheir
restoration to the aliove remedies.

Opehikct a Postal Card. The Al
toona "Tri6nne (weekly) of the 24th nit. tella
the following good one at the expense of a
granger friend iu that vicinity:
On Monday one of our rural acquaintances
from LotT'iu township received a postal rd
through the post oltlce, tuvitinjr hi 111 to the set
tlement of an account with one of our busi ness
men. It whs iho fleet intricate letter of the
kind be had ever seen or received, and the pro
fanity he indulged io in his efforts, to open It
shall be unrecorded, even if 1 did caiiie the
bystanders to inhale a sulphurous atmosphere.
He t uirifcd away at It until his pat lence was ex
hausted, and the postal chrd sadly demoralized,
when ho handed the "internal thimr" to one of
the clerks to open. He whs Informed that It
was a pos'al card and that he should read what
was writ ten on it. He read t he defaced missive,
ami imimitred to decipher euouirh to know that
It whs a "dun" for a bill which, he said, he had
Just paid. The volleys of hlHSph. mj flew so
thick ami fust and furious lhat If Henry Ward
lleecher had been present he would no more
have doubled the existence of hell than belief
in disown existence. It was a most amiialua
scene to we that rua ie man worry himself
over the npenimr r lhnt "darned letter, the
like of arhich had never ncfore been sent him."
A Skillful Pit y sic t ah. Dr. George H,
Keyser, of this city, is so well-known to the
commuui'y in which he has been in success
ful practice for such a long aeries of years,
that it la scarcely necesnary to mention thai
location of hi office. For the benefit of the
few who may not le familiar with it, how
ever, it may he stated that it is at No. 240
Penn avenue. The doctor, in his special
line of practice, may le said to tie almoat
without a peer iu this country. A lengthy
experience and years of study have mails
him most thoroughly familiar with pulmon
ary complaints, ami likewise with all that
class of diseasea lhat are to hs cured by
trusses ami appliances of that, character.
Dr. Keyser is one of the best. educed men
in this locality particularly so in his pro
fesaion and iu the particular branches of it
to which we have referred. His thorough
knowledge of diseases of this character and
their treatment, insure absolute safety, and
those who place their reliance 011 him can
rest assured that their faith is firmly ground

A Curious Cask. The Altoona Daily
Tribune in its first issue (on Monday last)
relates ihe following singular story :
Mr. Andrew Werlzberger, a brakemanon the
Piitslitirgh division, ami residingon Filth aven
ue, has hail quite a curium experience with a
piece of Iron. soint- five ears ago. while ham
mering a wedge of Iron, a sp iwl from the same
entered the flesh ot tine or his arms. Neither
thn wound nor the foreign substance g.tve him
any Inconvenience, and Ihe circumstance was
dropped from his ncm ry. Th other d:ty
while returning to Ihi city tin his train he felt
a sharp, pricking sensation in one of his great
toes. in reaching his home, he made a careful
investigation into the cause of the unusual
pain and extracted the identical piece of iron
that entered his arm nearly five years ago. The
metallic wanderer was about one Inch in length
and or the thickness or a needle. It had about
as much trouble and, in proportion, duration,
to get out of VertrtergerM body, as Ihe chil
dren ol Israel had out of the wilderness.

Dear Freeman I take the liberty of send
ing you a lew items of news from this enlight
ened section of Christendom, hoping rhat you
will be able to make room for them in your
valuable columns.
Mr. Joseph Van Ormer, who Is engaged In
the bunder Inisiuess, succeeded In getting Quite
a Inrge number of logs hauled to the creek
while Ihe snow was In condition to serve the
purpose. Mr. Sun 11 el Troxell. who is In the
employ of Mr. Van Ormer, succeeded In shov
ing the largest train of logs lhat has went over
the slide this year, consisting of IM logs, mak
ing In all fully 20.000 rect. He defies ihe town
ship to heat It.
The schools in this section are all doing well,
the cltizena of thla place being parllcularly
tortuuatc In having secured the services of so
accomplished, and efficient a teacher as Miss
karcjll. Hunter, who :a giving entire amlafac
tlon ol all concerned.
Mr. ljeander Wilcr hnd the misfortune tn
fall into a hay rack and fracture his nose while
catching turkeys in a barn near this place.
We sympathize with him, but sincerely hope
that iu course of time his nose may be as good
on the scent as ever.
In conclusion. I wish to say lhat there Is a
young man in this vicinity who drew one gal
lon ol vinegar the other day from a barrel that
had been dry for fourteen years. Fearing that
I h.ive already taxed your patience and intru
ded on your tiino an 1 space, I will close for tbe
