Carrolltown, Ct'iJu-m cm;:-,y, is to he a
money-order office on nnd aftr the first )iy
of July next. It is not Kenera'.lv iini'f-toot
and we can't say it should be, that this pro-'
motion was in the slightest degree influenced
by the publication known as the Xorthrrn
Camtn-ia .Vr, partially printed in Carroll
town. The fools seem not all to be dead. A
twelve-hours' walking match, go-a5-vou-p!eae,
is hooked for Johnstown on Christ
mat day. A medal and some money prizes
will gladden the eyes and pockets of the
winners, and soon after there wiil possibly
be an order or two at some undertaker's es
tablishment. Tho very latest is that Mr. if. Edpar
King, of the Altoona Radical, is an aspirant
for the office of State .Senator on the Repub
lican ticket. If the story i true, and he
succeeds in securincr the nomination w win
be sorry for it, as a strict reccard for the trutii
compels us to sav that we mean to elect a
i Democrat to the office named next vear.

The members and friends of tho Pres
byterian church propose giving a fair and
festival on the 23d, l'4th and 20th instant, the
proceeds to be devoted to the purpose of
liquidating certain indebtedness contracted
bv the church. The purpose is a laudable,
oue, and, in the language of the poet, we
hope that w hen "the purse-strings be drawn,
they unclasp many a dollar."
Our well-known and ever-welcome friend

Ksi.. now of Philadelphia, came t .see us
last Tuesday. lie is looking the personifica

which he represents as being in a situation
far from deplorable. We trust his brightest
anticipations may be fully realized.
We are informed by an Aitoona paper
that not only is the right of Mr. Thomas
Griffith to assume the oflice of Sheriff to be
contested by Mr. Michael J. Nagle, but that
the likelihood is that developments will bo
iiiiide which will result in the sending of Mr.
Uviflith to the Penitentiary for corrupt prac
tice. This is another illustration of tho
truth of the adage that one must go away
from home to learn the news.

on oath of a young lady named Sarah Jane

Hon. A. II. CofTrofh, Representative to
Congress from this District, was in town
during Monday of this wc-k, and while here
was besieged by men of all parties, and es
pecially by vetc '.ins and tne representatives
of veterans seeking penions. He was en
gaged as counsel in two cases which otmp
before Court, and in the capacity of a law
yer, as in the capacity of a legislator, to say
nothing of i:i gentlemanly qualities, he gave
satisfaction to all who listened to iiiui or
talked with him.
About the foillicomingcensiis : We read
that Col. James M. "S vank, formerly of

iir.d in connection therewith having necessa

after-development into merehandisable com

most valuable and thorough one.
yir. Joe P. Thompson and Mr. John A.
Thorn ption, sons of the lamented Major John
Thompson, dec'J, whose obituary is printed
elsewhere, were hastily summoned to our
town last week, to do the la-t sad rites to tho
memory of their father. We are glad to note
that both are looking well. Joseph P. is
connected with theetensive and prosperous
notion house of Messrs. Voting. Smyth, Field
. Co., Philadelphia, but living when at home
in Kittanning, Pa., while '-.b hnriy" is an

Thomas Qninn, a resident of. Johnstown,
while stealing a ride on a freight train in
company with a man named Boyle, on Th'.trs
r'av night of last week, fell through a bridge
at MilM 'reek, a w iter-stat ion on the lVnu
s 'viv.iia railroad. The train had stopped to
take water and the men had climbed down
from the cars. The cotul u-tor was notified,
ard after a search Oninn was found lying
under the bridge, having fallen about thirty
feet. Ho was placed in the caboose and
taken to the next station, where a medical
examination showed that, although no
bones were broken, he had u!Tered serious
internal injuries. He was taken to the Lan
caster county hospital.
Not content with sending us a copy of
the Catholic Family Almanac for ix a

choice and elegant books for the holiday sea
sona kindness for which wo return him tlw
sincere thanks of the Utile folks to whom 1 is
generous icinembrance came greeting. Mr.
Murphy keep everything desirable in tiie
wv of Catholic and' standard works, school
bocks, rosaries, crucifixes, religious pictures,
fancy goods, stationery, etc., and as he sells
i's cheap as any rr.an iii t'i business, his old
Cambria county friends should not forget
him vihen they wish to purchase anything in
that line.
We are sorry to learn that the steam saw
mill of Mr Thos. II. Cress well, of fcrtrorgs
town, Indiana county, some twelve miles
from this place, was f.nrned to the ground
about ten o'clock on Friday night last, involv
ing a losscaid to aggregate not less than ? .
nou. on which there is noinsurance. The ori
gin of the fire remains a mystery, b'lt as siimc
of the employes visited the null less than half
an hour before the conflagration, and discov
ered no fire about the building, the conclusion
seem to be unavoidable that it was either
the work of an incendiary or the result of
carelessness on part of some one of the em
ployees. The loss is n heavy blow on an en
ergetic, hard-woiking and ninth esteemed
gentleman, whi.se Piisf..rf ane will be regret

j Through an oversight on the part of the
; printer, the presentment of the (irand Jury
i of Cambria county, sitting last week, with
'f- C. T. Roberts as foreman, appeared
I shorn of a most important particular. The
: Court TTouse in that doeument was not only
i branded as "utterly tnd entirely inadequate
for the accommodation of the people of the
i county," but was also correctly condemned
i as being t(na. The wall looking toward
; the south is represented to be in an insecure
! condition, while in th not improbable event
: of a lire, the records of the. county must irre-
; trievaoly perish, thereby involving a world
of trouble and expense on the people to du
i plicate the same. We m4 a new Court
IIoitjo. Kvery instinct of the property-hold-i
ers must necessarily point in that direction,
; and if the nt (iraid Jury run counter to
the popular demand, they will commit a mis
take which will be altogether unpardonable.
Our young friend and patron. Mr. Win.
A. Todd, a Cambria county gentleman wei!
known and much esteemed, now residing :it
Seottdale. Westmoreland co.iiity. and un! d

the service of Messrs. L. H. Flick Co.,
manufacturers and shippers of crd;e, as ship
ping clerk, at a sailary of f!00 per mouth,
. which is an advance of $ ' per month more
than the wages paid him in his former posi
. tion. Mr. John Vahner, also an ctremed
patron of the Freeman, formerally agent t
Kaylor's Etation, on our P.raneh road, has
succeeded Mr. Todd as freight agent at
Scottdale, and, like the centleman who pre
ceded him, is just the kind of man to give
entire satisfaction to his employers as well
as to the public at large. Both gentlemen
have our earnest good wishes for long con
; tinual prosperiry and v.eii-deserved promo

Death or "Bt.ack Sam." Not a few of
our readers will be sorry to hear that "Black
Sara," as he was familiarly called, orSnmnel i
Williams, as be called himself his true name !
being something else died in Indiana town i
about a week ago. In years agoue he was
an employee about the several hotels of Kb-
ensburg in the capacity of porter, doing his !
duty well, but specially distinguishing him- '
self as the possessor of "a voice whose melody 1
uptuned was wont to disturb the re.st of our
residents at about the hour of 5 o'clock, rain
or shine, every morning. Sam was born in
Virginia, of negro parents, and was a slave, i
the name of his master being Sanderson.
Becoming dissatisfied wifh slavery, at the
age of probably 20 years h ran away and
succeeded, after a variety of adventures, in
reaching Pennsylvania. Our first acquain
tanceship with him dates in 18.it), when Sam
was living in I omcansville, Blair county.
The old Pottage Railroad was then in exist
ence, and Sam, on the look-out for passen
gers for the hotel which he represented,
chanced to see amongst the throng tin; fa
miliar face of his old master "What, did I
do then?" said Sam; "why, I just got a
big carving-knife and stuck it in my hoot,
and then I scooted for some p!ac where there
was no railroad !" He was not pursued, owing
to a mult iplicitv of reasons not here rteeess- :
ary to enumerate, hut up to the hour of the !
enunciation by President Lincoln of th" pro- ;
clamatiou abolishing slavery throughout the ;
length and breadth of the Union, he was '
haunted by a continual fearof recr.pture and
re-enslavement, lie is jrone, and peace to
his manes '
