A new vein of coal was struck the other day on the land of J. H. Dysart & Co., near Lilly's. A drift had been opened, but al tnop.gh the workmen progressed a consider able distance the coal couid not be found. The operaters then conceived tlio notion of boring down beneath the level of the drift, and at a depth of eleven feet the vein was discovered. A laborer named Milton Allison, wdii'e at work In the P.

A large sleighing party came here from Johnstown on Saturday evening, stopping at the Blair House. They returned home Sun day morning. Another party, from Wood vale and points contiguous, tarried at the Foster House Saturday, the parties compos ing it visiting the Poor House in the after noon. Several other parties, from different points of the compass, have also been mak ing things lively in our midst of late. The twenty-fourth annua! statement of the Protection Mutual Fire Insurance Com pany of Cambria County, as approved by the F.-cecntiv Committee, is printed in our adveitining columns to-day. The exact fi nancial status ot the) Company, which is a most comfortable one, with a list of losses by fire paid during the year, is given, and will furnish interesting reading for the stock holders as well as the general public, t The water main in th's borough is buried in the ground to the uniform depth of three feet, and p.s an indication of the intensity of the cold weather we experienced during the last week of Decem'er it is worthy of record that the connection leding from, this main to the domicile of Geo. M. Reade, T.-r., on High street, was frozen solid at th same depth. It required much hard manual labor and several loads of bark to thaw it open. Despite the stringent law against selling liquor to minors, it is a fact only too painful ly palpable that some of the youths of this place have an "open sesame" at on or more of the hcteJs hereabout. Where thesA boys get their supplies is said to be an open secret, but whether it is or not, those who furnish them with liquor had better look a "leedle oudt" or they may get into trouble. This is not a threat, but a warning, and to tlio wise a word ought to he sufficient.

During the present winter this ordinance seems to have become a dead letter, the streets being dotted with piles of the prohibited matter from end to end. A good many oT our peo ple think the ordinance should either lie en forced or expunged from tlie statute-book. The Aitoona Hun, through a correspond ent, charges gros mismanagement in the conduct of the Blair county Almshouse, as well as inhumanity toward the inmates. Similar charges used to be rife against the conduct of our own Almshouse, but thank gooduess! not since the advent of Mr. I. Lilly as Steward. A charge of the sort, when made by a resnonsibie person, should undergo the very strictest investigation. The Johnstown 7Yt!nne tells of a lady residing in that place who i.s now in her sixty-fifth year, and whose hair has been al most as white as snow for over a quarter of a century. Recently she noticed that it had commenced turning to a glossy raven black ness, ana this without the application of any dye or other coloring preparation. At pre- !

While in llarrisburg the other day at tending the meeting of the Pennsylvania Editorial Association we hung np our hat at the Bolton House, which it is truth to say is losing none of its well-earned pretige under the efficient management of Mr. C. H. Kemp, late of the Belmont, in this place. We were certainly well pleased with everything about the establishment, and can cheerfully recom mend the house to all our friends who may have occasion to visit the State capital. Mr. Joe Van Ormer, the renowned lum berman of White township, was in town on Tuesday, lie informed us that he put one and a half million feet of lumber in the wa ter last Summer and something in the neigh borhood of four million feet this Winter, with what is required to make a total of over six million feet remainingto be hauled.

The other day, as two friends were talk ingtogether in the street, a donkey began to bray and wheeze and coujh in a distressing manner. "What a cold that donkey has," said one of the men. "And bv the way, that puts me in mind how is your cough?" "I may not be quite as much of a donkey as you think I am. My cough is all right, and my knowledge that Sinks' Stuff of Tar, Wilp Cherkt and Hoarhound is tlse best Cough or Cold Remedy known is the cause.

The closeness of these figures lends to the belief tbat the time is at hand when, with the proper candidates and a uni- ted etfort, a Demoers-tic ticket may be elected at our municipal election, which will be hwld about a month hence. Generally speaking, poiitics should not be permitted to interfere with th? choice of borough ofiicers, but our Republican friends have for years willed that such shall be the rule, and if a change of the Cirds should make it so that we get on top, they at least cannot compla'ti , A correspondent of the Johnstown 7i bune, who signs himself "Xe tuid Nimis," last week had his say about the Jury Com missioners and the system of draw ing juries over which that body presides. After stating that anterior to the" passage of the Act insti tuting the Jury Coinmissior.ership be was a member of the Board of County Commission ers, and in that capac;ty helped fill the wheel for three years and r.c'vcr knew more than one day to he exhausted in the effort, the correspondent adds : "I cannot conjecture how, under the blue canopy, they (thw Jury Commissioners) managed to occupy a term of eight and one-half days in peifoiming the sameiabor!" The Temperance Union of Johrtown have organized a new departure. They j give notice through the public prints that a certiiied copy of all signers to applications for liqnor license at tlie March term of our county Court, such applications emanatin g from Johnstown and vicinity, wid be pro cured from the Prothonotary of the county and put in cold type where "the publication will do the most good.

J dr.nc behind the screen, to quit a life ot hv ponisy and become in a measure decent, and ss such t rubsbly ought to ie encouraged. Our branch railroad has not as yet been snowed up during the present Winter, though on several trips some difliculty was experi enced by the locomotive in plowing its way through. The snow is quite deep, however, an i necessarily packed closn to tlie rails and BMtwt the sides of cuts, and Conductor Sny der is of the op'nion that a big wind is all that is required to stop active operations along tlie line for the time being. The fact i.s the Western division of the main line is singularly cxemjit from storms thi Winter. Whereas in the eastern section of the State and in New York and elsewhere the trains have been lost for days at a time, from Ai toona westward no train has yet fallen much behind her time-table owing to snow. This is gratifying ; but maybe we are not to escape thus all Winter. The Census Bureau of thi whole United S'ates waited for a couple of weeks for the returns from Covington, Clearfield county, this State, it being imposssible to complete the count of the population, etc., till all the districts had been heard from. A few days aco this return was sent in, and now the work will goon v.ninterruptediy. In reply to a question as to what sort of constituents his home, people are anyhow. Senator Wallace said ho thought all the enumerators in Clear field counfv were comnetent. men. nod h cannot account for the stupidity of the one ,nsn who hack the returns of the entire country by a failure to properly perform his outy. i uere is some taiK oi prosecuting ttns man under the provisions of the Census Act and compelling him to pay a fine, as a lesson to dprelicts in the future. By reterenee to our advertising columns it will be seen that the- Board of School Di rectors of Ebensburg borough, who held a husiress meeting last Monday evening invite proposals for the erection of an annex to the present school building. The annex will be of brick, two stories high, Tlx'M fee;, con necting with the main building by a hall way fix IS feet. The annex will be built on a line with the front of the main building, the entire front thus presenting a solid, unbrok en appearance. The proposals must be in by the 31st instant, and the structure com- plefed by August 1st. 1 he necessity for this enlargement of our educational facilities is oc casioned by the proposed transfer of the Ac ademy building, heretofore used for Com mon School purposes, to the county, with a view to its removal from Court Hons ? square. As stated last week, there was some sort of misunderstanding between the Board of Poor Directors and Dr. J. E. Hutchinson, of Johnstown, as to the amount bid by thd lat- i - . - .....; l ; ffcl T X S th- r f ' Wored plate and possibly WO smaller illus cina to the outdoor paupers of the south of i t ,; , . . l-.,. . - , - ., the county fer the current year. The Board tiionght the bid was fl2", but the Doctor maintained the figurs were intended to mean $175. Anyhow, at an informal meet ing of the Board held at Johnstown on Mon day, it was decided that Dr. Hutchinson should be retained, the salary to be a dot or two -lower than what was originally asked. Dr. Murphy, of Ebensburg, had ben named ".s resident physician, but the appointment was illy-conferred, for that gentleman last week nacke.l up his household goads and re moved to Du Bois, Clearfield county, where he will hereafter reside. Till another ap pointment is made, calls at the Poor House will be attended by Dr. Crriffith. The many friends of Mr. Peter Schwab, recently of this place, will regret to learn that the large four-storied stone woolen mill near CoatesviMe, Ch.-ster county, with which he ha been connected for the past two years or more, was entirely destroyed by fire on Thursday morning of 'last week, involv ing a loss in building and stock of about $20,000, on which the Lancaster Jntellirjenrer reports an insurance of only f 4,000. As Mr. Scnwab had a working interest in the estab lishment, which was owned by Mr. Samuel Greenwood, we presume that be is consider ably out of pocket by the catastrophe. The fire was caused by the explosion of a coal oil lamp in the hands of a workman, who fortu nately escaped injury. There weie about sixty employes in the mlll, ail of whom have been tbrown out cf work ai a result of the conflagration. The mill is to be rebuilt at an early day, bnt It Is probable that Mr. Schwab will eek hit fortana elsewhere. The irrepressible author of the celebra ted Dr. l'anlhamus snake story has placed us under obligations for an invitation, very neatly written on blue-tinted paper, to at tend the wedding of Judge Geo.

Our present Court i House, which has served as the place for ; holding all public meetings during tlie last j half century, will be torn down next Sum- j mer, and viewing it a altogether unlikely that the doors of the new Court House will j be thrown open for miscellaneous purposes, we shall then be without a public hall.

That wild animal killed by young Ash craft in the north end of this county about ten days ago, and pronounced by the slayer himself to he a wildcat, by the Frf.em an a catamount, and by Mr. Ceo. Huntley a lynx, was, as stated last week, purchased by ttie latter centleman and stuffed, and now bec.u- pies a prominent place in the front windows of his extensive hardware establishment. it was related of this animal by Mr. Asbcraft that, having shot it, it fell to the ground ' from a tree, apparently dead, and he went ! to pick it up to examine what manner of j game it was. lie was considerably frighten : ed when, with a last expiring effort, it . sprang for hb throat, nut dropped dead short of tne mark ! In Mr. Huntley's windows is a collection of stuffed birds of elegant and rare i plumage. After the lynx had been placed S in the position it now occupies, such is its native ferocity of disposition that, though '' under the ordinary rules of nature it onylit i to have been dead as a door-nail, it yet rcach , ed over and captured the effigy of a red : headed woodpecker which washanging three j feet off, but its strength utterly failed before j j the process of swallowing could be accom- i ! plished.

Tbi "Sp-lIliiR Match" Irlea Araln. Editor Frefmas In your laRt issue a cer tain W. A. Watkins, in quiet, innocent and most dignified manner, disposes of the book awards at the'date Teachers' Institute to his own satisfaction at least. I was also inclined to be satisfied with it until I learned that your correspondent was an eloquent preach er of a gosprl a shepherd of a flock. Then 1 concluded that the distribution of garbled literature was at all times a part of his busi ness, and that the present instance is but one evidence that his desires and abilities are not circumscribed by parochial limits, and that he is imprassed with the importance of that go-pel which refers to tlie sheep which h must bring into the fold. Hence he goes about scattering crumbs of comfort to his own in his meeting house jwher, others fail, and to all when occasion offers, even though to Qiake the occasion he must intrude upon a decorous Teachers Institute. He is sorry, I presume, that by offering such prizes Mr. Berg was placed in an awk ward position ; otherwise he would not have assumed the responsibility. He does not, however, intimate that he himself is sorry or even feels in the slightest degree the gra tuitous insult offered to many of the teach ers. Does the knowledge that the objection able offer was made by Mr. Berg at the suggestion of a Johnstown preacher less ef fectively point the affront? 1 should think it was an aggravating circumstance. Yet no word of regret is expressed for an affront he w oni oi re would liave us believe was unintentionally ,nt;!'.l. Can it be that bis interest in the distribution of garbled and falsified history is so intense that it lias blinded him to the amenities of society, or made him deaf to the suggestions of good breeding? An in sult alw ays demands an apology, and an apol ogy for an unintentional insult can always be gracefully made and graciously accepted. From my reading of his communication to the Freeman I would judge that Watkins made a catspaw of the County Superintend ent in throwing the chestnuts into the fire, and that Mr. Berg burnt his fingers in draw ing them out. The plea that no thought was taken of the religious complexion of the works avails him nothing. A man of Mr. Watkins' supposed reading knows that in selecting works fordis tribution in a mixed assembly the greatest care should he taken. This is especially true of works relating to the Middle Ages, as near ly all of them bear the marks of the interest and prejudice of the writers. Hence it was an insult to offer works relating to that peri od as rewards to an assembly of persons of different creeds without being satisfied as to their unobjectionable character. The knowledge that a Protestant preacher and not the County Superintendent selected the awards goes but a short way in excusing the utt. There are none of our public insti tutions looked upon with such distrust or guarded with such jealous care by our church going people as the public schools. Engraft ed as they are on the organicjlaw of our com monwealth, they must be accepted and main tained as a means for the diffusion of secu lar knowledge, religion being ostracised from among the branches taught therein. Let ail, then, mix amicably and during the school hour study their A B, C's, their arithmetic and geography without any religions refer ence or preference. This is what the people are guaranteed bv the law that established and perpetuates the school system. What i then must be the surprise and disgust of those really interested in the schools when they cannot attend the sessions of an Insti tu'e without noting here the white choker, there the stove-pipe hat, and ever and anon the broad tails ot the clerical coat flapping behind the throne on which sits the embodi- I ment of the dignity of the school system? It is more, Mr. Editor, than a mixed commu nity should be expected to bear. The offense as committed, anil for which Mr. Berg is alone responsible, is not so grave . but what it maybe condoned, but did we al ' low Mr. Watkins Ids say without comment '.his time, he ntiyht go a step farther and of I for the next Institute "( lark's Comiuenta ! ries" or "Fox's Book of Martyrs." I The last but by no means the !e,vt of the I practical conclusions of the Institute might i have been worded thus : ! I.'cfohr.'!, Tliiit while Rv. Watkins may acceptably preside as chairman of a prayer- j nn-cting and calmlv tace encoachir.g evil. and may even battle with the devil in his own pulpit, to the great edification of his people and no little spiritual and temporal emolument to himself, as a power behind the throne running a "spelling bee" in a Teach ers' Instit ute lie is not a sttcce?. X. Mr. Hrs nod the to. KRprrinlfndrnry. Editor Frkkman lleports are current thut ?.Ir. II. Berg is calling on School Direc tors and asking thm to support liini a third time for the oth'-e of County Supei intendent. During his "official visits" he makes it a , point to call on Directors for this special j purpose. Did not Mr. Berg three years ago, j while becging Directors -t support him for I the position he tins already filled for nearly I six years, promise tliat in the event of receiv ! ing their support, he would never ngain ask for or seek the office? When this is known I Directors feel surprised at ids presuuiption in j once more soliciting their votes. In view of this fact, it occurs to me that if Mr. Berg is a wise and sensible mar. he will withdraw from the field at once. If be is conscious t-f his former allegations bis effort to become iiis own successor is really "un conscionable." X. V. 7..
