THLTRSDAY:::y:K:::::::DECEMBEn 20. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Local Etchings. It is a foregone conclusion in our mind that in the matter of climate Ebensburg is rerj highly fa vored. In the Summer we have that cool atiJ refreshing breeze ever coming directly from the mountain-tops of the everlasting Alleghanies that health-giving nnd in vigorating breeze that is so sought after tv invalids. In Winter we have ah plenty of snow for sleighing purposes. Other places generally have only an occa sional skiff, of snow, which merely serves to create a desire for Luffalo-robes and tintinnabulatory fixins ; but we have an average of a foot deep of tho article from December the 1st to March the 15th. And bleighing is the salt and pepper of wintry existence. Besides this, we're going to have a railroad. When wo mention that Ebensburg likewise gives a Republican aajority, the reader can at once see how infinitely above other men we are favored. But we ain't proud, after all. While in our hearts we pity the poor denizens of Johnstown and llollidaysburg, we still give them the right hand of fellowship. I'luribus Uuuui ! Two prize banners have been awarded by the Committee of Iudiana ccunty to Cherryhill and White townships the first for the largest in creased Republican vote in that county since October, and the other for the larg est Republican vote cast in the county at the November election. The Kcho says that Mr. Joseph Straycr, Sr., a resident of Kichland township, was found on Tuesda' rf last week about a mile and a half from h!i home, frozen to death. Tie had been ia town the day previous, and it is preu ueJ that he indulged pretty freely in in tciicxting liquors, which would fully ac coaut for the distressing affair. He was about pixty-five years of age, and had a lamuy.- -The new school-house in In- (ii.ma borough took fire one day last week. The teachers ouietly dismissed their sev eral schools, and the pupils vscated the trilJing in an orderly manner, without being aware that any danger was appre hended. The flames were then extin guished. Now, this is something so out '.f the common that we feel disposed to give the Indiana teachers a puff; for, had the alarm of "fire!" been given as it usually is in such cases a stampede wo'd have been created, and many of the chil dren would doubtless have been killed or ffiihnel.

In the case 01 the Commonwealth vs. John W. Farrell, which was disposed of by the Court ot Quarter Sessions week before last, some facts were elicited which go far to prove that we have a Haynau in our midst. It appears that some time during the past summer the defendant, who is a mere boy in years, hired himself to labor with one Michael Kennedy of Carroll township.- "h-iTf ltr V V 1 1 i- - . .. c.j ciicvi mi- uuv s inuucuon into tiie hospitable domicil of his employer, a pocket-book, eaid to coutaiu some thirty dol lars, turned up missing. Suspicion im mediately fell upon the boy, and although he strenuously denied the theft, he failed to convince his accuser of his innocence. Then began a scries of torments and tor tures upon the supposed culprit to extort a confession, equal to those of the darkest days of the Inquisition. A rope was first placed around the boy's neck and exten ded over a beam, and he was forcibly ele vated a considerable h eisht. Rut several repetitions of this mild and merciful ex periment failed to produce the desired confession. The boy was then extended on a log and forcibly held down, and an axe was brandished over his throat. The boy, to save hid life as he says, admitted that he had taken the money and proposed to find it if they would release him. He was accordingly unhanded, but as soon as he found himself free he took to his heels to escape from his persecutors by fast run ning. He was overtaken, however, aud carried to Carrulltowc, where he was de livered into the hands of an officer of the law, who lodged him in our jail. Upon the strength of this confession, extorted by fear of bodily harm and death, the boy was prosecuted for larceny ; but it is al most needless to say that the Court refu sed to take the prosecutor's evidence and the prisoner was acquitted. A collection in his behalf was taken up inside the bar, and a considerable sum was realized. It is gratifying to know that a charge has been instituted and is now pending against Mr. Kennedy for assault and bat tery with intent to kill, in accordance with the above facts. Another Mvstkrv. We have the following particulars from a private source : Some two or three weeks ago, two men, named Snyder and Edwards, left their honies in Ecdford county with the inten tion of going to the Cherry Tree to irtt out lumber. Snyder carried with him the proceeds of tho sale of a horse, which he had disposed of before starting. Some considerable time elapsed, and Edwards returned to his home without his compan ion. When questioned as to Snyder's whereabouts, ho was unable to tell a very straight story ; but he at length stated that lie bad left him in Ebensburg. On Saturday last the father and brother of the missing man were here in Reareh of him, Lut they failed to obtain a clue to mv.iterr. Thcv did ascertain, hnwcvpr J . ' ' ! er that a man answering Edwards descrip tion was in town some time during Court. The lather and brother of Snyder returned to Redford on Monday, with the avowed intention of arrciitirijr Edwards ou suspi- ciun cf murder. Further tlian this wc have no particulars.

To the Editor of The Alleghanian : Tho feminine controversy tha" is now going on in j-our columns has interested mo considerably, and as I always speak when the spirit moves me, I herewith send to the "Alleghanian Fairy Guard" greeting : To think that Annette should be guil ty of so unbecoming and silly an action as to try to pour gelid liquid on our own dear Leap Year it is really shocking ! Why, Annette, don't you see that you are ouly knocking the props from under the entire edifice of Female Independence ? I do, and shudder for the result. You certainly know that during the Bissextile, we the "weaker" are masters of all we survey, (7. c, it is our privilege so to be, and we depart from the text if we are not.) Once in four years we cm cut loose from the rigid, formal rule3 of etiquette, and be unrestricted as the summer winds on a holiday. We can then angle for hearts in whatsoever branch of the matrimonial stream we may desire, with uone to molest or make us afraid. We are not obliged to wait on Tom, or Dick, or Harry to pop the "momentous," for we can do that our selves. Isn't it errand ! Come hero, vrm , j Charley boy: in the case of the subscriber versus yourself, oua charge of reciprocal affection, how do you plead; guilty, or not guilty ? I believe, so help me Cupid, that in nine cases out of ten tho dpfY'nd.int would say "guilty" and submit. What's unladylike about that, I would like to know 'i "Women rule the world" a great many say, and one even goes on to ask 'Didn't Adam, tlic very first man, The very first woman ohev?"' This is doubtless very true, but without Leap Year I believe that women would soon become a queen only in name, a sov ereign without a scepter, a ruler without a subject. No, I do not intend to stay in astatoof single wretchedness while the preventive is within my grasp. I believe in the use of the means. If I fail (but they say there is no such word as "fail.")
