vast crowds of parents and friends. As is
usual on such delightful occasions, Lew
istown was proud of her schools. The se

so well committed, and the performance !
of all the children, indicated that both
teachers and scholars had earnestly and i
attentively engaged in the work before
them. A!! felt that it was a success. At
the close. Mi s Mary McCord, one of the
teachers of the High Schools, was pre

Fishing- Trip.—We spent a few agreea
ble days in Licking creek valley last week,
catchitr: a fair number of good trout,
(treat changes are taking place in that
region, the chopper's axe having been
busy in all directions in cutting out ties
and staves, which are floated down the
stream, the channel having been cleared
out for that purpose. We left for home
on Friday morning, crossing the moun
tain opposite Minehart's Gap, and took
the car- at Granville Station, whore sev

with quite a demand for more. The re
mainder of the party staid until Saturday,

had a rugged pathway until they reached
the gap.

Attempted Suicide. —The Mount Union
Times gives the following curious account
of an attempted suicide:
On i ist Saturday, a man living in New
ton Hamilton, by name of Fclty Smith,
attempted suicide by cutting bis throat
with a penknife. The following arc the
particulars ot the affair, so far as we have
' cen al>l<- to learn them : It seems that
Mr. Smith has been laboring under a
mental as well as physical disorder for
some time back, and on Saturday last lie <
sent to the .-tore for some kind of patent
medicine. After tak ing some of the med
icine, he got an idea in his head that it '
i ntanied a quantity of brandy. Beluga
Good 1 mpiar, be seemed to be very much <
di-tiv—c t at the idea of drinking brandy,
and -a d it " would send him to hell."
lie went to ail orchard near by, and with
hi- pi-ii-knife cut his throat three times. ;
When found he was very nearly dead ;
but iroiu latest accounts he will likely re
cover. It i- said he burnt a considerable
amount of Government bonds before he
atteinpte 1 to kill himself.

Six runaway boys from Philadelphia

The Cambria Freeman, edited by
Couldn't-be-Congressm in R. L. John

it wasn't as large as a gang of soreheads
undertook at Tyrone last fall, nor half as

large as Morrell's majority.
A young man named Amos Baker was

Fortune telling continues to be a thriv

when he sees ladies rigged up and sailing
out that street, he can tell their errand.
Our old bread, butter and trout friend
of the Hollidaysburg Standard is itching
badly for a take. As soon as we hear of
one that will pay his calibre we'll let him
know, though as the halcyon days of de
mocracy, when wood was piled up hill
and the front only measured are no more,
we fear his chances are slim. Vallandig
hatn and Jef Davis however may be in
the market, and on proper application he
might perhaps get a C or even a 1).
Concerning the pay of the New York
Journalists, a correspondence of the Bos
ton Voice says: " The Tribune employs'
fifteen reporters at an average salary of
$23 pi r week; the Herald twenty-three at
an average of sl7 ; the Times a bitter op
ponent oi workingmen's associations,) ten
reporters at s2l per week average; the
Sun a rampant advocate of the labor
movement) five men at an average of
tin tve dollars ; the Post four, at $23 aver
a re: the World eight at an average of sl3;
and the Express six, at an averageof nine

best wages are paid by republican papers
—the worst by democratic.

KXOXVILLE, Tenn., May 15, '67.
This town of Brownlow notoriety is 130
miles from the Virginia line down the|
East Tenn. Valley. This valley is from I
25 to 30 miles wide, and is drained by the
Chuekv, Holston, and Clinch rivers. The!
upper part of the valley for a distance ot
40 miles is broken by numerous irregular!
limestone ridges, between which, numer
ous rapid streams dash themselves along, j
offering unsurpassed inducements to the;
manufacturer. Along these streams are j
narrow valleys of the richest land. The !
ridges, too, are very fertile, but too steep
for successful cultivation. Nowhere could
the manufacturer do better than iu East
Tenn. For a distance of 100 miles there j
is not a single woolen factory. The spin
ning wheel and the loom are yet heardin
every farm house. The manufacturer of!
farming implements would lie exceediug
ly lucrative. Grain drills and reaping!
machines are curiosities to the farmer.
FARMING.
r I 'uis is in a wretched and unscientific
state. Plowing is done by means of a
"bulltongue" or shovel plow, which mere- !
lv scrapes the surface a few inches. ( oi n
is planted successively in the same field,
and very often without replowing, yet an
immense quantity of corn is raised.—
\Y heat this year is in a very backward
state, scarcely as far on as in Penn'a. J
would attribute this to their time and
manner of sowing. Renters can do well
here. They need not pay any tax on the
land and get two-thirds of all they raise.
Since the negroes are liberated and fann
ing stock driven away by the armies,
there are thousands of acres of the very
best land lying waste for want of farmers.
Fanners with small capital cannot fail to
do well here. Large crops of corn are put
out with one yoke of small oxen.
KKEEDMEN.
These are the hone of contention now
as much as ever, not who will get the
"nigger" but whom will the " nigger" i
have. Radicals and conservatives are
playing tiiis game, each proving to the
negro that he lias been his best friendand
therefore entitled to his support at the
coming election. Some freedmon are
obliged to vote its their employers want
them or he driven with their families from
their homes. A few are too ignorant to
understand the issues of the contest and
are sold to the highest bidder, and judg
ing from what we have seen last fall we
know what party they will support. Oc
casionally a colored man of influence is
bought by the conservatives. In Haw
kins county they gave one a house and
lor wort h $750 to stump the State for them,
but he was everywhere hissed and hooted
by his colored brethren and obliged to de
sist. They knew who their friends were
in the past.
Tin: REBELS.
No class of men are more completely
cowed down than the rebels of Tenn. Not
long ago they were perfectly rampant,
oiieuly avowing that, with Andy John
son at their head and theconservatives in
the North to assist t hem, they would soon
have the negro where he was before. A
second war and a certain victory were
spoken of as settled facts, but thanks to
the firmness of Congress and the military
hill, their hopes are about as certain of
being realized as that of .Satan was to re
gain heaven, and like that arch rebel,
they feel pretty bad, and now try to vent
tln ir spleen by wishing the negro to mar
ry the daughters of radicals, or else go to
hades.
To illustrate their animus I must relate
a dialogue which occurred in my hearing
the other day. Sauntering into a store
while waiting tor the ears while in a com
munity where nearly all were rebels, I
found two very actively engaged abusing
the negro and the radicals, comparing the
latter with the aristocracy of the South,
stating that scarcely a lady or gentleman
could be found among them; that they
were an inhospitable cringing set, every
one working for himself. Just then came
walking in one of our boys in blue from
Tenn., whose homespun dress but honest
heart proved him to be no aristocrat, ami
taking up the conversation he replied:
" You rebels were mighty hospitable as
long as you could do it with other peo
ple's money or other people's work. 1 be
lieve in every man working for himself
and I have i'ought that it might be so.—
The reason you call tiie nigger a good for
nothing, lazy scoundrel is because you can
not get him to be your slave and let you
act the lazy scoundrel, and that is what
hurls you."
But a short time ago such free speech
would have eost this young soldier his
life, but Gov. Brownlow has squads of
militia stationed through the State and all
is now perfectly quiet. SIGMA.
HOOK NOTICES.
DAVID COPPERFIKLD, the third volume
of the Diamond Dickens ison our table.
This is the most completely designed and
delightfully executed edition of a popular
series of works, intended for the family
library that lias ever come from the hands
of a publisher. " Pickwick," the initial
of his humorous works, and still the most
amusing; "Our Mutual Frien l," his la
test, and by many deemed equal to his
best, and " David Coppcrfield," also one
of his m >st readable works, are now be
fore the public in this dainty form, and
their rapid sale well attests the populari
ty they have achieved. The Rochester
Democrat pertinently says:
"A renewed circulation ami astill wider
reading of Dickens cannot prove other
wise than a blessing to the country ; for
who shall deny that this genial novelist
is not, wherever he may go, a missionary
of good as well as of delight; making men
and women better, whilst lie makes them
smile; softening and enlarging the heart,
even as he gratifies the love of humor,
the sensibilities that sympathize with the
pathetic, and the artistic taste that relish
es pictures of homely and intensely hu
man life. As the " Diamond" has thus
inaugurated another conquering cam
paign for the deservedly loved and popu
lar gentleman of Gadshill, it merits praise
for what it is as well as for what it has
done. For its convenient form, its dis
tinct though necessarily small type, and
excellent original illustrations by Ey tinge,
it merits commendation, and meets a pop
ular want at a very moderate price. It is
something new, beautiful, and useful like
wise in the way of book-making; and by
its very peculiarities is quite sure to be a
favorite, no matter how many attractive
rivals enter the lists with it, and win cus
tomers."
Every lover of Dickens should be sure
to get. this edition. The illustrated vol
umes are only $1.50 each, and the plain
$1.21; Ticknor A Fields, Boston.
