Unpleasant the weather.
A ten barrel oil -well was opened in
tfeetnioreland county recently.
Snow to the depth of three inches fell
bere on Tuesday.
Vim. Groves, Jr., of Hollidaysburg, a
cldicr of the Mexican War, died at that

Realty's station, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, six miles cast of Grceusburg,
yas totally destroyed by fire last Y-cck.
Rich, rare and racy -the lecture and
public meeting at the town hall oa Mon
day evening.
George Raymond, editor of the Holli
dspburg Whij, has been appointed Con
sul resident at Singapore, British India.
Ihis is authentic.
The recent heavy rains have doubtless
ccallcd our friends, the raftsmen, to start
,lun tho river. A large amount of tim
kr was "got out" in the Northern portion
of tlie'county this winter.
The llollidaysburg Fcncibles, the Al
toona Rifles, the Altoona Guards, and the
Juniata Rifles, of Blair count', have ten
dered their services to Gov. Curtin, under
the call of tho President, and have been
accepted.
George W. N. Bolsingcr, our former
pirtner in the publishing of this paper,
has enlisted in one of the Pittsburg mili
tary companies, and intends to do service
in the struggle between Union and Dis
union. Good for George !
A panorama of tho Pilgrim's Progress
was exhibited at the town hall on Friday
and Saturday evenings. Those who had
the pleasure of being present unite in
living that it was grand affair, and well
worthy of public patronage. It was well
attended.
Shout out, yc sanctimonious 1 Make a
nuise, oh everybody ! And then give car
unto the IIoH. Rpjister: "The Metho
dists of Ebensburg aie doubtless a very
p)od people, but they arc to have a Shots
in their church every week or so through
out the year !" Ah !
Awful the weather for the past week.
Rain, hail, snow, aud mud have been the
ruling features during that period, with
hi prospect at present of a "change in the
programme. Popo says there is no euch
reason as Spring and Pope was a gentle
man of veracity, and knew whereof he
oSrmed.
On our outside this week wc publish a
leautiful piece of original poetry, entitled
'Tho Homestead Suld." The sentiment
contained in it is one that will find a re
sponsive echo in many heart3 especially
S3 thi3 h near the first of April, when
laving and selling of homesteads do most
occur. Catalpa has ppctic merits of a high
wdcr, and we hope she will favor U3 with
inn j more of her effusions.

"3Iurder Wilt. Out !" Startling
Developments ! Tho Echo says that
the people of Johnstown are considerably
excited in consequence of some revelations
having lately been made concerning an
almort forgotten murder that was perpe
trated years ago at the Buckhorn Tavern,
Summerhill township, this county. The
victim was a pcdlcr. He put up at the
tavern one night, and was never eecn or
heard of afterward neither could any
trace of his murderers be discovered. It
is new stated that a fellow lately dis
charged from the Western Penitentiary,
after returning to his home in this county,
disclosed the secret of the murder to an
old comrade, who got on a Fpree and "let
the cat out of the bag." From hi3 state
ment it seems that seme four or five persons
were engaged in the atrocious act, the
discharged convict being among the num
ber. Tho story goes that the pedlar was
killed at a late hour of the night, long
after he had retired to bed ; that after he
had been murdered and the uiouey taken
from his person, (which amounted to Fome
two or three hundred dollars,) the remains
of the victim aud the entire bed were
conveyed to a deep, dark ravine some dis
tance from the tavern, and there concealed.
Search is now being made in that locality
for the purpose, if possible, of discovering
some vestige of the dead body of the pcd
lcr or remuauts of tho bed. The peniten
tiary bird, alarmed at the revelations
made, has fled for parts unknown.
The report that the Cambria Iron
Works would soon suspend operations is
authoritatively contradicted. Glad to hear
it.
LETTER FROM OILIANA.
OlLTANA, April 16, 1861.
To the Editor of The Allejhanian :
Ebensburg is done for. Emphatically.
And no mistake. It is I mean, it will
be, knocked higher 'n a kite.
Your town will soon bo nowhere, nor no
place else. In the language of Chaucer,
it will be
"Strypt of it3 glory,
And left to perishe,
As ye butterfly demysctli
Aftyr trod upon by superior weighte,
Andsquashede."
We're ahead. We are. We're ttllght-
ually in advance beyond in the van
ahead.
I feel merrified ind deliriorous.
I'll tell you why.
We are going to have the county seat
of Cambria county removed to Oiliana!!!
I read in the Mountain Era last week
as follows :
"It is a fact acknowledged by all that a
more corrupt set of demagogues never winter
ed at Ilarrisburg than the present uiis-repre-sentatives
of the people."
Whereupon, I immediately got up a
meeting. We met we raised 810,000,000
we parted. And you can guess the rest.
I may state that I was President of the
meeting. In consequence of which, I in
tend to put things through with a loose
ness. I can do it.
In a few weeks you may expect to ad
dress me so :
Caleb Smith, Esq.,
Oiliana,
Capital or Cambria Co.,
Pe.nna.
Yes as the author of tho Editorial
Breviaries once jocaustically remarked,
'Ye kin fence up yer town of Ebensburg
and whitewash it" 'forthwith. And that's
a fact.
I repeat it, I am high. Besides, I have
several eligible town lots for sale : one of
which would be a splendid site for the
Court House.
Do you think that Mountainous Era is
posted with regard to those mis-representatives
? Couldn't it, under certain cir
cumstances, pile on the talk too thick t
And isn't it possible that it differs from
the political views of the majority of the
mis-representatives ? I tremble when I
think that this, or these, might easily
be the case, or cases.
I had a big notion to apply for an office
under the new Adm. Since I have got
on eo well with my oil, however, I have
eiven up the phantasy. Bayadere is out
for Consul to Ski Hi. He left for Wash
ington yesterday, lie wanted me to go
with him and apply for something : but I
wouldn't do it. Says I, "B., my boy, you
may be an applicant, if you wish: as for
for me, I will remain an appliwon't."
And as Bunyan says, I saw him no more.
, But, in the chaste and vigorous lan
guage of Mor D. Kay, I must dry up for
the present. Think of me often.
:- Thine, Indeed, CALEB SMITfl.

Messrs. Evans and Wathon : Gentlemen
The small 5-izc No. 1 Salamander safe which
I purchased from your agent, 5Ir. Adam U.
Har, in Lancaster City, on July 20th, 185$,
Las been subjected to a very severe test,
which it withstood in a most satisfactory
mauner. This Safe, containing all m fcooki,
together with vf! liable iapors belonging t-j
myself aud some to my neighbors and friend?,
and rcprcsc ling a val ic of ovei Twenty Thous
and Dollars, (S20.0U0) was in my Mi'll which
was destroyed on the night of the 27th of Ju
ly, JttjO, and pasted through the fiery ordeal
unscathed. The Safe wasontlie second floor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, and was
subjected for six hours to an intense beat
among the ruins, which wasgreatly increased
by the combustion of a large quantity of grain
confined within the brick walls. After th
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers taken out in a state of perfect preser
vation, the paper not even being discolored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
a better recommendation of your Safes than,
could be expressed in any other words from
me. Yours Respectfullv,
