From The Johnstown Tribune. , Mrs. G., whose sons, lour in number, left their homes with the Johnstown vol unteers, to defend their country, in parting with them, only uttered the words, "13e Brave!" "Be Brave 1" the patriot mother said, When direful war's alarms Across Columbia's valleys spread, And called her sons to arms. "Be Brave !" no more heroic word The Spartan mother gave, When at Thermopylae was heard The din cf war i:Be Brave!" Go forth, ye gallant Volunteers, -Though dangers may be rife, To tight for all that man reveres, For 'tis your country's strife. And Heaven propitious smiles on all That die their land to save ; A nation mourns you, if you fall " Then forward, and ;-Be Brave !" And whether near your mountain home Your serried hosts shall tread, Or by the wild Potomac roam, Near Vernon's mighty dead : Or where the sultry Southern sand The sweet Santte shall lave: At home abroad on sea, or land, Press forward, cud "Be Brave 1" When mothers thus their jewels give Upon their country's shrine, That country cannot cease to live Her mission is divine. And, Cambria, such thy matrons are! And where the coward slave Would falter when her virtuous Fair Bids a'l her sons "Be Brave !'' Ebensburg, May C, 1SC1, R. L. J. The Tost Office Again ! It will be remembered that two months ago or thereabout, Maj. John Thompson received notice that ho had been designated as Post 3Iaster for Ebensburg borough under the new Administration. Although his commission did not ccmc to hand, it was generally supposed that the appointment was a fixed fact, and that the Major was to be "the man." But as we have here tofore noticed about three weeks ago, Mr. M. S. Ilarr, another applicant, received official notice from the Post Oiiice Depart ment that he had been assigned the po sition. Mr. II. immediately filled out the necessary bonds and returned them to the Department. And we thought, of course, that this settled the matter, and that the coveted commission would scon arrive. But there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip ! and we may add, to suit this par ticular case, that You ain't sure of your posish, Until you get your commish. For, last week, Mr. Ilarr received another P. O. document notifying him that his appointment was revoked. It may be pertinent to the occasion to atate that Mr. Thompson has not yet re ceived his commission. The question now is, not ''Who struck Billy Pattersou ?" but "Who is to be our Postmaster i"' YVt:mi Poetry. "Ar Rcff.l." Mr. David 31.

In Lvcic. One day last week, our friend, C. T. Roberts, of the Ebensburg Jewelry Store than whom few better or more whole-souled fellows are "put up" presented us with a magnificent silver pencil and gold pen. These articles are of peculiar value in the sanctum, as all knoiv. Our friend C. T. has our thanks, coupled with the smcere wish that he live forever. By the way, it may be proper to say in this connection that Mr. R. has on hand a splendid assortment of clocks, watches, jewelry, etc., all of which he will sell cheaper than the cheapest. If you need anything in his line; give Cham a call. The Cambria Guards. This compa ny held a special meeting on Saturday last, and decided to oCer their services to the General Government, through Gov. Curtin, under the three years' requisition. Lieut. 11. A. M'Coy and Sergeant R. M. Jones left for Ilarrisburg on Monday, to carry out the wishes of the company. We have as yet had no return of their success. A meeting of the managers of the Cam bria County Agricultural Society is called for Saturday, Juno 1st. Let those who are interested take notice. Mob Law! Awful Doinos! We arc informed of a decidedly ludicrous cir cumstance that occurred in a village in this county a few days since,the recital of which may serve to show that the comic is not altogether lostsisdit of in the matters of vast, and serious import that now'absorb public attention. A strolling negro min strel, with banjo in hand, happened to drop into the village before noticed about dusk, intending to put up there for the night. Somelhoy:, however, got hold of him and decoyed him into a shop, where he was requested to cut loose and siug a few, under pain of receiving no drinks. Of course ths son of Ham was agreeable, and melody in torrents soou flowed from his dusky throat. In fact, just such sing ing and trumtriing, and such an amount of it, and at suh low price per hour, is sel dom got outside of the ranks of the organ grinding profession. The performance proceeded swimmingly, until the audience became crorged with a concord of sweet souuds ; whereupon they manifested a dis position to bring the re-union to a close. So, at or about the stage when the min strel, who was singing "Dixie," expressed a widi to be "Way down South ia the land of Cotton," the same being a treasonable and un patriotic sentiment some of them procu red a rope, proceeded up stairs, and by the aid of a convenient knot-hole, succeeded in slipping a noose over the negro's head. One pull was sufficient to convince the victim that suthin was wrong; pull the second brought him up all of a heap; while pull the third caused his eyos to fairly start from thcir sockets thro' 1 right. He was now told that he was being pun ished ior affording "aid and comfort" to the rebels in Ehort, for being a Seces sionist and that he must be hung by the neck until he was dead. But he declared, on the word of a "hou'rble culled gem men," that he "warn't no Sccessioner indeed urn warn't." "Fact," said he, "I'd an old uncle, a3 once lived down Souf, who died licking me the other day because I wouldn't iay that Jeff Davis was a hig her man nor the irrepressibT konfliet. Lcm'me go I" The appeal was irresisti ble ; his loyalty was fully proven j so he was cut down forthwith. It is rumored, however, that he went ou to the next tav ern in the next town that same night. Local F.TcniNG.s. Maj. John C. Ostcrloh, of Ilollidays burg, has been appointed Brig. Quarter Master of Camp Siifc r, Chambersburg. A very pleasant Mayday picnic of the juvenile persuasion was held ic the Fair Grounds on Saturday. Stewart Steel, formerly a resident of this county, died at his residence ia Blairs vi lie on the 4th instant. Seven military companies have been fully organized in Indiana county, and five more are recruiting. The Chest Springs military company have offered their services to tho Govern ment under the three j'cars' requisition. We are not informed as to whether they have been accepted. We publish on our outside this week a very patriotic poem entitled "Our Capi tal," by Miss Louise E. Yickroy. It was published in the icw York Tribune last week, from which paper we extract it. Returned raftsmea inform us that no market at all can be had for lumber down the river. We are sorry to hear it a .stringency in money matters in the north of the county will be the probable result.

Peterson, 300 Chestnut street, Philadelphia. The rails, chairs, spikes, 5rc, for the Eb. and Cresson Railroad have been delivered at Cresson, and workmen are now busily engaged in laying the track. The depot building is likewise being rapidly put up. In a few short, weeks (D. V. and weather permitting) both enterprises will be happily concluded. That the Union must be preserved is a fact now settled beyond cavil or doubt. It is also a fixed fact that Clinton II. Jones sells boots and shoes, hats and caps, ready-made clothing, notions, etc., a leetle cheaper than they can be bought elsewhere in this neck o' timber. A word to the wise is suffish. The following has been the aspect of the weather during the past week : Thurs day, warm and pleasant; Friday, wet and rainy; Saturday, sunshiny ; Sunday, pleas ant as to the forenoon, rainy in the even ing; Monday, warm until noon, wet and drizzly in the afternoon and evening; Tuesday, windy weather; Wednesday, pleasant. If variety is the spice of life, we have spicy times just now. 0 THE LADIES.
