The water main in th's borough is buried

that the connection leding from, this main

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

but whether it is or not, those who furnish
them with liquor had better look a "leedle

not a threat, but a warning, and to tlio wise
a word ought to he sufficient.

There is a borough ordinance which for
bids the throwing of ashes on the streets,
under the penalty of a certain Cue. 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

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

manner. "What a cold that donkey has,"
said one of the men. "And bv the way, that

At the late election the vote stood in
Ebensburg borough : For Garfield. 1 19 : for
t Hancock, 113: for Weaver, 2. Republican
majority. 4. 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

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

The Temperance Union of Johrtown

from Johnstown and vicinity, wid be pro

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

aco this return was sent in, and now the

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. XV. Otto.
President of the Tusey Mountain Coon
Club, who is to take unto "himself a wife this
(Thursday') evening in the person of Sarah
Selders. The ceremony is to be performed
at the First Presbyterian church, Aitoona,
and is to he followed bv a grand reception
at the Johnston House, iiiiamsburg. TI
biid and groom, whose portraits occupy
prominent positions on the; invitation, look
exceedingly blue, the likenesses being exe
cuted in blue ink, and have evident'y s"en

Tn accordance with the provisions of the
military laws of the State, our home com
pany (Co. A. Fifth regiment, N. G. P.) draw
each year from the public treasury the sum
of five hundred dollars. This money iias
heretofore been divided amongst the mem
bers of the Company, but it is now proposed
to divert it in the direction of the building
of an armory the express purpose for which
it is appropriated by the State. The project

an armory and the other to do duty as a town !
hall finds many friends. 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.
Should Co. A decide to nut up the proposed
building, they would likely desire to occupy I
the site of the present armory. This site !
belongs to the borough, and a perpetual lease
of the ground to the Company, with certain
reservations, should be accorded without op
position. 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. The woodpecker remains jusd as j

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..
