LOCAL AFFAIRS.
\- K w OPENING. —Rittenliouse and Mc
gjnney, having entered into partnership,
vill open to-morrow morning, in the
r ,v:n formerly occupied by J. W. Sheriff,
\V. corner of the diamond, an exten
sive stock of new Goods of all kinds, to be
(jjviosed of at low prices. They solicit a
(jll from the people of town and country.
FOB THE LADlES.— Latest styles of
Btnnv. Felt, and Velvet Hats, just receiv
ed from New York, by Daniels and Stone.
Turbans trimmed with velvet and lined
a t 75 cents. Other styles equally low.
jpt, Grove has an assortment of goods,
too numerous to mention, that is acknowl
edged by all to be cheap. In fact he sells
VERV CHEAP. If you go there ybu will
be pleased with the great variety of arti
cles and the low prices. His store is next
door to the Express office, and should be
visited by housekeepers generally, as they
ran find a huge number of all kinds of
articles for household use.
A CHANCE TO LEARN. —Prof. W. T. Bar
nitz, who has been engaged in teaching
for some years in this and other locali
ties, commences a Night School, in the
Town Hall, this evening, 10th inst.
Ho will teach by the oral method entire
ly. It will be an adult class, and a fine
opportunity is afforded those too old to go
to school, or where business prevents
them from paying attention to books. —
Young geiits and ladies, and even mar
ried ladies and gentlemen will find it to
their advantage to attend.-
TEMPERANCE. —On Thursday last Lo
gan Lodge of this place held a picnic in
Banks' grove, which was attended by
members of several other Lodges in the
county. The affair passed off pleasantly,
ami the address was delivered by Rev. J.
Croralish. ♦
In the evening, Mrs. Gage addressed
our citizens in the Town Hall. Her elo
quence drew a very large audience on
Friday evening, also. She is an estima
ble lady, and was a contributor to the New-
York Independent.
The Presidential electioneering
party reached this place on Friday last,
a little after four o'clock. A large num
ber of persons visited the station, some to
see Johnson, others to take a look at Grant,
Faragut, &c. Mr. Banks welcomed the
President irrespective of party, which
rather seemed to astonish the Kitchen
Department in Johnson's rear, as well as
the special reporter, as the latter dismiss
es us in a few brief lines, not even deign
ing to mention Mr. Banks' name. John
son briefly replied by expressing his ap
preeiation of the honor, and promised to
do his duty. Several relicts of democracy,
who used to ask republicans a year and a
half ago how they liked their drunken
Vice President, went over, as they said, to
keep republicans from insulting "Our no
ble President," but with the exception of
a private democratic fight, everytnihg
passed off in harmony and g<x>d feeling.
At Mifflin the reporter waked up, Mr.
Doty, as usual, making a rabid address,
which is thus reported :
E. S. Doty, in his speech of welcome
to the President, said "Discourteous otti
eials had often attempted to deprive him
of the honor which was his due, but he
had the regard of the masses accorded to
him. YOQ have," he said, "the hearts of
your countrymen. I mean those who
love their country above party. In war
you fought disunionists in the army, and
now, in peace, you fight those who seek
to disrupt the Government by legislative
means. The one was to tear down our
beautiful temple by force, and the other
by stratagem and fraud. The attachment
to your home was weaker than your love
of your country, and you still uphold the
standard, not with twenty-five, but with
thirty-six stars, and neither men nor dev
ils can drive you from your purpose."
The President said, "please accept my
sincere thanks, through your honored re
presentative, for this cordial and sponta
neous welcome. Allusion has been made
to the discharge of my public duty in
vetoing some Hills, and 1 have stood* un
waveringly to the post of duty. In reply
to what you say about party, 1 will mere
ly remark, the time has come when the
people of the United States should lift
themselves above party, and stand by the
Constitution."
As Mr. Doty is one of the most unscrup
ulous partizans in the State, and Johnson
himself is using every species of bribery
and corruption in his power to form anew
party, their reference to rising above party
is peculiarly rich.
''Engaged—Miss Anna Gould to John
Caudal, City Marshall, both of Leaven
worth, Kansas. From this time hence
forward and forever, until Miss Anna
Gould becomes a widow —all young men
are requested to withdraw their particu
lar attention."
We clip the abovfe from a Kansas paper |
for the edification of a number of young
ladies and gentlemen who frequently get
astray after church, and commend it to
them as an excellent method for prevent
ing jealousy, ill-feeling, hatred or revenge,
and frequently a cutting in two of tender
hearts formed for each other. Aftrr such
■t notice, of course no gentleman or lady
would be guilty of interfering with tin
parking preliminary to the consumma
tion of their hopes, and the "course of
true love" would he more apt to run
mooth than now, when "fellers" occa
sionally pick up your gal before your
<yes, walk away in triumph, and
"-olid you pouting to your home, per
i iaps to pass a sleepless night imagining all
"orts of things that might occur. Adver
bs by all means, and then you are safe
. rid sure.
FRIGHTFUL. ACCIDEXT AT
JOHHSTOWK.
Fall or a Flat form.
Several Persons Killed and Three Hund
red Wounded.
On Friday morning, Sept. 14th, Johns
town was visited by the most frightful ac
cident in its history. About eleven o'-
clock, says the Tribune, the train from
Pittsburgh, containing President Johnson
and his party, arrived at the Station and j
stopped a few mintes to allow a large
crowd of citizens, of both sexes and all
ages, to obtain a sight of the distinguish
ed gentlemen. The President was intro
duced by Hon. Edgar Cowan. The crowd
then called successively for Grant, Farra
gut and Secretary Seward, who also made
their appearance on the platform of the
car. At this moment, and before any op
portunity had been offered for making
speeches, the platform which spans the
abandoned canal at the Station suddenly
gave way and precipitated several hund
red persons a distance of twenty feet to
its bed, now occupied by the track of the
Johnstown and Cuneniaugh Railroad.—
The scene which ensued can better be im
agined than described. It was appalling
to the stoutest hearts. As soon as possi
ble those who were not on the platform
and those who were but did not sustain
any injury, made haste to rescue the suf
ferers from the horrible pit, and to render
them sueii assistance as was in their pow
er. Physicians were sent for and banda
ges and stimulants procured. We have
made every effort to obtain the names of
the killed and wounded, and subjoin the
following as a tolerably accurate list:

FIRE. —On Monday evening last a child
was playing in a room up stairs in the
houseof Wm. Montgomery, on Mill street,
when she got hold of some matches and
somehow set the bedding on fire, the
flames partly consuming the quilt, tick,
&t\, and communicating to the window
frame close by. Tt was fortunately extin
guished before further damage was done.
Matches should be placed out of the reach
of children.
WHAT WAS IT?—At the reception of
the President last week, among the bou
quets presented was a small one appar
ently with the roots or stems stuck into a
bottle, which was wrapped closely enough
in a newspaper to disclose its shape. Was
that beautiful floral offering preserved in
whisky or water t We pause for a reply.
The Lewistown Academy, in charge of
Prof. J. 11. Nourse, opened this morning.
Ball playing by boys on the most fre
quented streets is getting to be somewhat
of a nuisance.
The public schools opened on Monday
last. It is to be hoped some attention will
be paid to the conduct of the scholars out
side, and that the recess nuisance will be
at once abandoned, if they will not be
have themselves.
A circus was here on Monday, and, as
might have been expected had poor hous-
es.
Blymyers are remodeling their store
house at the mill.
We had a slight frost on Hunday morn- 1
ing last, but so far as we can learn no in
jury was sustained from it. j
Mrs. Andrew Mayes, while walking
along Third street the other day, was at- '
tacked by a fierce cow, and barely escaped
being seriously injured.
Henry Book of Derry township, pre- !
sented an apple to us weighing one pound
three OUIHKS and a half, and measuring j
fourteen inches in circumference—the j
largest we have yet seen. Who can beat
it? Bring them on.
Lida, second daughter of H. W. Jun- j
kin, who remained overnight at the res
idence of the editor of the Democrat, j
night before last, got up in her sleep, and !
walked out of the second story window, i
falling on a paved yard below. She is !
apparently but little hurt.
Charles C. Parker, an axemaker at 1
Mann's factory, was so much injured on
Monday last between two cars on the
siding at that place, that he died yester- j
day morning. A car was standing on the ;
track, and while crossing lie was caught
by some cars which were being moved.
He was a single man from br near Tren- j
ton, N. J., and aged 46 years.
The new party will hold a mass meet
ing at Lewistown on the 27tli of Septem
ber, when Mr. Clymer will probably ex
plain how Andrew Johnson was bought.
