In the Freeman each week, it is fair to supjiose, that the poorest of verse or the simplest of prose meets the eye of the reader as it seeks to disclose the ad vantage of buy- lug the lest of good eiothes from Murphy, the clothier, who welcomes all those with i cash in their pockets who to his clothing j store goes, intent on the purchase of what ' every man knows he could never buy j cheaper from friends or from foes, than at btar Clothing Hall, 10'J Cliutou street, Johns town , Pa.. We have received a copy of the Leaven worth Appeal, one page of which is almost entirely occupied with descriptions of the business houses of Sal in a, Kansas, many of which are accompanied by cuts representing the houses iu question, as well as one show ing the elegant private residence of our en terprising and prosperous young friend, Wm. R. Geis. One of the articles, which we shall reproduce next week, is devoted to the banking bouse and other interests with which Mr. Geis is connected. The Huntingdon Monitor says that Mr. Jacob Longauecker, a respected citizen of West township, walked three miles to de posit his vote at the late election, and while on his way h me disoovereil that his eye eight was rapidly failing. Next morning':. e was totally blind, and has remained so ev-r since. All which leads us to remark that there is a striking difference lietween Mr. Longauecker and the Greenbackers. The latter went into it blind and came out with their eyes wide open to their own folly. A Loretto correspondent who knows how to get up an item in apple-pie order and ought to do it oftener, writes to inform us that a young man named James G. Bradley, of Allegheny township, while out hunting on Saturday last, succeeded in putting a quietus on a large catamount which for some two years past, had been prowlii,g about the country, Beeking what it might devour, and which generally succeeded in getting away with "lambs of the flock" and "sb-li like" until the unerring aim of M r. B. laid it low. It is Incomprehensible to ns that no one has yet takeu advantage of the sewing ma chine offer made for getting up clubs for the t KLEMAN, and still more incomprehensible j that none of our patrons have availed them- j selves of the opportunity to secure a first- class machine ami a copy of the Frekmav one year at the remarkable low price of Hf- i teen dollars. A better ofter certainly never was made, and as it will soon be withdrawn we cannot too earnestly urge upon onr read ers the Importance of "striking while the iron Is hot. If yon never havo tried you know very little alout the effort that's needed to Coax an idea out. and especially to find a phraie that's quite new in which to express what you wish to get through your hair on a subject you've oft treated liefore, as for in stance the Great Eastern Boot and Shoe Store, where S.

A writer in the current issue of the Johnstown Democrat, who signs himself" P," had better go out and do that very thing, as he is entirely nristaken when he says that Hon. Findley Patterson, Democratic mem ber elect to the Legislature from Washing ton county, was a member from that county in 1845 when he was elected speaker of the House. Mr. Patterson at that time repre sented Armstrong cannty, as well as at the session of 184, aud did not remove from that county to Washington, bis native coun ty, nntil two or three years afterwards. We understand that two brothers from the eastern part of the State were in this place a few days ago looking up a site for an extensive tannery, and that they were not only well pleased with the situation, but greatly surprised by the large amount c.f hemlock timber still standing in this vicini ty, and from which bark enongh could be obtained to supply their wantB for many years. We dou't know what conclusion, if any, was reached by them, but in view of the alleged fact that it is their intention to erect a tannery capable of tnrning out one hundred fully finished hides in a day we sincerely hope they may find it to their in terest to locate amongst ns. T. II. Heist, proprietor of the Mountain House, in this place, has reduced his rates to parties attending Court.

Benford, proprietor of the 1 Halliprt House, Johnstown, died on last Friday morning, in the 57th year of his age. ; He was horn in Somerset, learned the tan ning trade, and after his marriage engaged j in the hotel;, business, having at different ' periods kept a jnbHs boose in Indiana, i Saltsburg, and Harrisbnrg. Mr. Benford was a very companionable man, and made hosts of friends wherever he went. He was ' generous by nature and full of kindness and j charity to his fellow men. Ills wife and i several children survive him. His remains were interred in Sandy valecemetery, near Johnstown, on Sunday, and were followed to their last resting place by au immense concourse of people. We invite attention to the card of Mr. T. C. M'Ginley. in another column. Mr. M'Ginley will doubtless be remeraliered bv not a few of onr readers as the proprietor of j the Summit House at Summitville, this j county, in the days of the old Portage Rail- j road, since when he has lieen almost con- stantly engaged in the business of hotel , keeping, for which long experience and an ; innate desire to treat all men justly and courteously so well liefits him. Now that be j has Dining Rooms for ladies and gentlemen j at 161 Wood street, Pittsburgh, we commend ! him to the patronage of all onr readers who may chance to visit that city, confident as j we are that all who patronize him will le I furnished with excellent meals at the lowest : prices. j Since the good old days of Adam and Eve it is doubtful whether the "apple of dis cord" ha created so much trouble as has re- ! certly been produced by asingle specimen of ' the frnit in Huntingdon county. The story i briefly told is that a yonng man named Lo'ig : brntallv assaulted!aboy named Kimherland, i becanse a younger brother of the iatter knocked an apple off a tree in Long's yard, and as a consequence more honored in the breach than the ohservanoe the parents of the respective youths took up the quarrel, and various suits and cross-suits for assault and battery, malicious mischief and perjnry were the natural results. All these cases were tried in the county court la.st week, and although none of the parties were con victed, the paternal progenitors on lmth'slde were obliged to go to jail lieeause they hadn't the wherewithal to pay the costs. We invite attention to the donble-col-nmn ad vertisement on this page setting forth the rare bargains in clothing now to lie had at the famous OakHaM, GHi and Market streets, Philadelphia. Next week we will insert a new advertisement for Mr. Wana maker's Grand Depot, 1.1th and Market, when we shall take occasion to refer at some length to both establishment. D is a sin gular thongb none the less veritable fact that the two houses in question pay ns more per year for advertising than all the business houses in Ebensbnrg combined ; and as they have done this right straight along fur a number of years it Is fair to presume they find It a paying Investment. Hence it is that we wish to see them prosper, and know ing as we do from experience that they sell the liest of goods at the very lowest possible prices, we can say iu all sincerity that they deserve to prosper. We are sorry indeed to record the death of the amiable and teloved wife of onr friend and patron, Mr. Thomas Donghertey, fifth son of our venerable townsman, Mr. John Dougherty, whi-b ocenrred at her home Iu Keytesville, Mn, on Friday, the 8th inst. Mrs. Dougherty was In every sense of the word a model woman, and whether consid ered as a wife, mother, friend, or neighbor, ebu was very jnstly esteemed as without a superior. While on a visit to this place in 187f she was received into the? Catholic Church, as was also her daughter, the only other child, a son, having lieen baptized in that faith when quite young. Endowed as she was with strong religious sentiments, Mrs. Dougherty became after her con version one of the most faithful and pious members of the Christian fob! into which a sense of duty to God and to herownso'il bad led her, and after li ving a pure and exemplary though rather brief life in this world, hr ape being only alout .14 years, it is fair to presume that she has een called tci the enjoyment of never ending felicity in the world beyond. May she rest in peace. Ah Opinio? in which Coixcidr. Eisenblse, of the Wilkinsburg Titnef, thinks that the author of "Home, Sweet Home," would never have written those well known lines which assnre us among other things that "Be it ever so homely, there is noplace like home," had he lived to visit Philadel phia and put up at the St. Cloud Hotel, on Arch street an opinion which we have no I hesitation in pronouncing entirelv sound I and sensible. Only a few weeks ago we had an opportunity to enjoy the hospitalities of this well-known ami exceedingly popular house, and we tell those of onr city-going readers nothing new when we assure them that we found enongh to convince ns that Eisenbise's head is exceedingly level when he says that '-every delicacy iii the market is to Iw found upon their table, and their lieds, a place where man spends at. least one third of bis time, are indeed places of rest." More than that, we can indorse the senti ment expressed by the same writer whet: he says that "no matter if the visitor be of high or low degree, he receives the same courteouH care and attention," and that too, we may add, a', a price (only $2.50 per day) which, considering, the accommodations, are exceedingly low even in these woful hard times. But why multiply words attout the St. Cloud and its proprietors Messrs. Geo. W. und Geo. K. Mullen, father and son, who are so well anil favorably known in Cambria county that we doubt whether any one from this region would put np at any other hotel in Philadelphia unless it would be to take "pot-luck" in hopes of saving a few pennies in the operation. The People's Cheap Store, Carrou Town. It is generally conceded, if we mis take not, that to Mr. S. Teitelbaum. propri etor of the "People's Cheap Store," Carroll town, is due the credit of having revolution ized the prices or a', kinds of merchandise in northern Cambria, and it is no more than right that he should enjoy, as we lielieve he merits, the immense patronage which his liberality has secured for him. Keeping at all times a full and complete stock of dry goods, dress goods, notions, hats, caps, boots, shoes, groceries, etc., he hides not hs light under a bushel measure, but wiselv avails himself of the opportunity to advertise his wares and his prices thro'ngh the newspa pers, and his success in securing customers follows as a matter of course. But that is not all. Having by this means induced peo ple to visit his store, nothing remains to ie done in order to convince them that monev can be saved by dealing with b-tn than to show them hi goods and tell tbi m his pri ces. These being the inducements he ofiV-rs to the public, it would seem to bo a matter of self inten-st for people who have not v i done so to give him a call and test his abili ty and willingness to do what lie promises.

Under the above caption a correspondent of the Pittsburgh Cathniic furnishes the follow ing reminiscence of the pioneer pator of the Alleghenies, Prince and PriesiGallitzin, which we deem of sufficient local interest to transfer to our columns : Mb. Editor For scmie time T have been en sraa-ed In examining two small, time-stained blank books, that were once the property of j Kev. Demetrius A. Gsllitiis. the saintly mis- i sionary of the A licit hen tes and founder of the! exclusively Catholic settlement at LorettoT j Cambria county. Pa. They are now In the pea- j session of Kev.

As t they contain some documents of Importance and many interesting entries and items which. I have reason to believe, never came under tbe observation of lr. Oallilzin's biographers. I transcribe a few extracts for publication. In the certainty that they will be read with curi osity by all and especially by the numerous descehdenls of tbe early settlers of Cambria county. On the first pajre of the book of more recent date appears the following touching appeal ia Dr. Grtllitzen's own handwriting : "Demetrius A. Gallitzin. son of Prince Deme trius of Oallitxln, came to the Cntted States in 1792. and havinar renounced all the flatterinir prospects of this world, consecrated Inmseir in 17U5 to the mission? of this country. From that j to the present day, his time, property and faculties 1 of soul ami body have teen e.nplnyed iu improving j the country, the place he selected for his aboje, ( formerly a pcrtect wilderness, but now a Hour- i is'iimr ettiementi and in establishing and props- j irating religion.

Lately, unexpectedly j and without havlnir had it In his power to torsee i or even to suspect such an event, be finds himself, I by a decree of his former government, deprived of 1 the whole of his parent' estates, and with debts ! amounting to more than to.oo-i. He now very re- : lactantiv, but from a sense of duty, calls upon the charity 6( his tellow Christians for assistance, to i enable him to pay part of his debts, as his own t exertions would prove insufficient for the whole, and ! What follows on the next page has been crossed and recro-ssed with the pen In such a manner as to bealtog-ether undecipherable. On the tbird pure the illustrious Charles Carroll wrote with his own band, which, conslderinr j the tremblinir characters, must have been j greatly enreebled by ago, tbe following earnest recommendation : "1 hereby earnestly recommend to all charitable persons to subscribe ruch sums as thetr inclination and ability will permit, to second the views de tailed on the opposite page by the Reverend lie metritis A. Ualliizin. Ch. Carroll cr Carroll-tow, 13th Nov., 17.' Then come the subscriptions. In the band writing of the contributors : Ch. Carroll of Csrollton 100 pd.

Between the leaves of this bookjwere foun4 various specimens of the currency of those times raninnir in amount f o nlflvo cont9 to ten dollars, and in dates from tne year IHI5 to the; year IS'52. It can reedily be understood that in j the quality of the pspr and the stvle of en-I graving they compare by no mns favorably wli h l he greenbacks and National Hank notes of the present day. I copy tne of the earliest specimens : "The Farmers and Mechanics Bank of Pitts burgh promises to pay Kdtc. B. Hoclttot bearer on demand, Tkx Dollaks. "Pittsburgh, June 5, 1815.

Miss Itrownson writes: '"Only one thing bail he de sired of the Mtshop (Kgan of I'hiladelnhia), but this without avail ; that ho would visit the in terior of the State and administer Continuation to all his Coturreirations." Now it appears from entries made by Dr. Oallltiin in the second book referred to, that llishop Eifan. on his memorable Journey to J I'iitsbnrirh. stopped at Loretto and administer- ed Confirmation to all who had not previously received that Sacrament, and, what willappear tnuro remarkable in our days, ertn tn tmmt eliilitrrn tiwl tffidir infant.

A valued "Correspondent," from whom we would lie glad to h;ar more frequently, sends us under j date of Nov. 19lh the following particulars ; of a shocking accident which culminated in ' the death of a ten-year-old son of a promi- nent and well known citizen of Portage Township, this county : A pad and fatal accident resulting In the death of E iward MctJIade. Jr., a little son of Mr. Edward McOlade.or this township.occurred f esterday afternoon. From whut 1 can learn t i'i'm that the unfortunate vouth was as sisting his father and elder brother in pre nit r- imr wood for fuel near their home arid with this object In -iew the latter proceeded to i chop down a large tree, which tin fort unately fell in a different direction from the one auti- ! cipated, and striking yonnr Elwarl crushed him to the earth. Hnstenintr to his rescue as ' speedily as pOisible, the horrified father snd . brother were shocked to fiud that bis skull was fractured and that Lo was otherwise bedly in- : jured about the body. Artcr conveying him ! to the house, which was done immediately, the j services of the nearest physician were prompt- , ly secured, but alas! the injuries of tbe poor boy were of too seriou9 a character for human skill, and after sufferinir in (rreai ag-ony for about three hours death kindly relieved hnn or his torments. The deceased was a bright and npmnldin vonth. Aired about ten Vears. and was loved by nl! who knew him. His shocking death bas created a void in the family circle and among bis schoolniat s wbich will be long and keenly felt. His afflicted parent, who nre among the most esteemed residents rf the township, have I he heartfelt sympathies of the entire community in their sad hereavemi-nt. His remains will be Interred in the Catholic cemetery at Wilnaore to-morrow (Wednesday forenoon.

Dear Frfeman Perhaps vou have not heard I that the election pusscd off quietly and that the citizens of Democratic Klder are once more j happy in view of the Tact that we have elected , our entire county ticket, save and except Hen- ry t?caulan, Ksi , who would undoubtedly have ' received the Mine vote as the othi-r candidates i on the ticket had it not been that Mr. M'Con I nell's nnmt was put on the Republican and j Greenback tickets both, the latter party lieioir composed principally of Democrats. The vote shows it plainly; but such is sometimes the fate of candidates In pursuit of political prefer- j nient. The only consolation the Squire can ; nuve is tnat ne is not trie only one who nns neon . unjustly sacrificed in a political contest. We hud hoped that the citizens of the north, as well as elsewhere in the county, would be , allowed a little repose from political excitement i after the election, but sucii is not the case, as we have no less thttn six candidates in the north ntone who are already iiifitminir the political pool by announcing themselves as entirely willing- to serve the dCHr people in the capaeity of Sheriff. These gentlemen are now quietly (renin In their work, as they Imagine, nut it may be lhat they nre only annoying- people by kissing- their babies, hand-shaking themselves and propounding the stereotyped salutation. "llow d'ye do? h iw is the good wonmn 't and how are all the children ?" Seriously; speak ing, we tnink those aspirants for political tavor iu the north ought to be aware of the I act that when there are so many candidates lor the same office in this section it is an easy mattt-r for tbo south to take advantage of tfo-ir divided councils-is heretofore nnd nominates southern man for all which the north will have only herself to blame. Who can gainsay this self evident fact ? The Forty Hours Devotion was concluded at Pt. Bonilace church on Wednesday last. The officiating clergymen were Kev. Fathers Ed mund and Dennis, the latter of Carrolitown. assisted by the venerable George Glasser, of this place. During its continuance the services were beautiful and deeply impressive, the choir ; with their large and rich-toned org.tn adding ; much to the solemnity of the occasion. The i church was daily and nightly crowded toils I utmost capacity by both snintrs an.1 sinners, a:l anxious to hear the eloquent jounit priest, ! Fa' her Dennis, whose sermons were profound. powerf ul and con vincitig. Many wh had stod aloof from their reHgious duties for yen rs were j prompted by the unerring truths he forcibly and eloquently uttered to go back to their first I love in the bosom of the Church. Father Den J nis is yet young In the ministry, having been ordained a priest only about nine years ago. but should his lire be spared a few years more we incline to the opinion that he will have no superior in the diocese as ac eloquent expound er, t of the great truths of the Catholic Chnrcn. We learn that several large bears have been Seen prowling around the woods in this vicini ty. Quite a number of our sportsmen went in pursuit of them a few clays ago. but without success.
