Free, popularly known as "the immortal J. N.," made his appearance in Ebensburg. He came to espouse the cause of truth and combat error, and fully intended so doing from the public rostrum, but owing to the fact that he was unable to secure a proper auditorium in town, and to the circum stance that it rained too hard during the May and night, to admit of bis speaking in the open air, Ire was obliged obliged is the word to lay dormant and refrain from casing himself of the burning words of wisdom wherewith he was fully surcharged. This was bad for the cause of truth, and a severe disappointment to our citizens, who had been counting high for many days on a feast of reason. He tells up, however, he will return here again in a couple of months, when (D. V.) he will most certainly speak hi3 piece.... The edi tor of "Godey's Lady's Book" gives notice that, owing to the enormous rise in price of everything appertaining to printing, be will be obliged to increase his subscription rates. The new terms will be announced in the November number.... The attention of school teachers is directed to the notice of examination of teachers for Cambria township, to be held in Ebensburg on Saturday next.... The winter session ot the Eldersridge Academy, Indiana county, opens on the 12th proximo. This is one ol tie best educational institutions in this lection of"theState, and wo earnestly re commend it to the patronage of our young men desiring to enter upon a thorough course of study.... Tudor & Jones sell the best segars in town. Give them a call, ye who love "the weed." - State Fair. The Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society will bold its next fafrat Easton, Pa., Sept. 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th, 1864. The most ample accom- inodations we are intormeuare being made. The grounds and buildings of the Farm ers and Mechanics' Institute, where the Fair will be held, are among the largest and finest in tLe State. In addition to the buildings and sheds already erected,, several very large tents have been secured ; ooefor the floral and fruit department, and the other for the Fruit Growers' Society of Eastern Pennsylvania, who will bold their quarterly meeting upon the grounds it the same time. Their object is to dis cuss all questions appertaining to fruit growing, as well as to exhibit fruits of their own production. Their discussions are beneficial, and will add much to the general interest of the Fair. From pres ent indications, the fair will be one of the largest ever held in the State'. What Does Ix Mean? Says the Johnstown Tribune of Friday last: "The Copperhead Congressional Conferees for this District met ac Huntingdon on Thurs day of last week, and nominated R. L. Johnston, of Ebensburg, for Congress on the first ballot. Eob is a good fellow, but he can't go to Congress yet a bit. He is certain to receive the worst political defeat he ever got, and it will serve him perfectly right, for being found in such bad com pany. Rocking Tom Stiles' baby in a lugar trough, in the extreme corner of White township, won't save him this time." The Tribune speaks in riddles. We have heard of "Rock the cradle, Lucy," of the "Lone rock by the sea," and ot a "Pock etful of rocks," but never of a rock in connection with Mr. Johnston and "Tom Stiles' " sugar-trough. Won't the Tribune Uke pity on our ignorance and explain ? The Draft. In conformity with or ders issued from tho War Department, the draft for this Congressional district commenced at Pollidaysburg on Monday. Cambria wasthe first county drawn on Monday and Tuesday. We expected to have a full list of the conscripts for this Pper, but were disappointed.. It will ap pear in our next. r An inhuman mother visited Indiana kst week, Etopped over night at a hotel, nd ihe next morning went away in the leaving behind her son, one year to be cared for by strangers. " ' Blairsville, Sept. 16, 18G4. Editor AUegTianiah : The fall exercises of the "Blairsville Female Seminary" have . just terminated, adding another laurel t3 the wreath of honor which decks this well known institution. ' After such a creditable display of knowledge accumu lated during the past term, the young la dies, . perchance, would feel somewnat chagrined if . no one of the ."admiring audience" should endeavor to make pub lic a ''curtailed" account of the proceed ings. Believing also that many of your readers would be especially gratified to acquire some information concerning the "March of Female Education," we pro ceed from a double sense of duty. -Mustering up all possible courage, a great amount of which was necessary, we were marked among the first arrivals of the "visitorial corps" on yesterday morning. By . some mysterious instinct, we soon found our way to the recitation room, and seated ourselves facing a most formid able array of countenances radiant with the scintillations of knowledge. Every thing conspired to charm. The most con fusing mathematical problems were dem onstrated with the utmost precision. The rapidity with which we were drawn thro' the intricacies of the languages, and the mazes of the sciences, was truly astonish ing. One dreaming of our grandmothers' times would be forced involuntarily to exclaim " O tempora, O mores I" From "military necessity" we were compelled to remain until the routine of the day had ended, being constitutionally unable to tear ourselves away from such alluring enjoyments. This morning, we were again found early on the field of the preceding day's operations, and were instructively enter tained by recitations in "Natural Philoso phy' "Paley's Theology," and "Geom etry." All the classes gave unmistakable evidence of their competent teachers having used all the meatjs in their power to t instill a practical education. Tho afternoon was passed in the reading of es says, and musical performances. Aruong the former, one entitled "Love rewarded" cre ated considerable merriment on account of its comicality. The music appeared to be appreciated "with much gusto, proving conclusively that the spectators were fit for other than "treason, stratagem and spoils." After a prolongation of the blissful sorrow of parting, the audience gradually melted away, allowing things to resume their accustomed monotony. A. Our Pavements. We are pleased to see that many of our citizens are now busily engaged in relaying the pavements In front of their respective residences. The number of worn-out and almost im passible pavements in town is a something startling. Indeed, it seems to be the rule to find them dilapidated and vile the exception to find them good and trust worthy. This is due mainly to the fact that plank is to a great extent used in their . construction, instead of stone or brick. Ebensburg used to be noted as a town neat and tasteful in regard to her streets and sidewalks. If there be any virtue in "Borough Ordinances," this reputation must be speedily restored to her. Our Soldiers. We learn that Capt. Litzinger's company of one-year volunteers, from this place, has been recruited to the minimum number, and permanently at tached to the 209th regiment P. V. The election' of officers resulted as follows: Capt., R. Litzinger; First Lieut., Samuel W. Davis; Second Lieut., Hugh Jones; Orderly Sergeant, Samuel Singleton. We hope to have the muster-roll -of the com pany for publication next week. The 209th left Camp Curtin for "the froai" on Friday. It gives us pleasure to state that our friendand fellow-townsman, Col. E. Frank Lytle, has received the appointment of Quartermaster of the regiment. There is here double cause of congratulation to Frank, that he succeeds to so distinguished a position, and to the regiment, that they thereby secure the services of a man who is capable and efficient in an eminent degree. A Pertinent Interrogator y. Speaking of the lato Democratic Mas3 Meeting, the Dem. & Sent, says there were "from one-half to one-fourth of an acre" of people present: Would it, not be more in accordance with tho fitness of things to compute the number by the head, and gay there were one, two or three hundred head of Democrats presen t ? , .

Yes, the grim Frost King will soon be here, in all the glory of his icicles, and his hoary beard, and his -chattering teeth. In view of this fact, would it not be wise in our readers to go to Thompson's store, Ebensburg, and buy some of the superior fall and winter goods he has just received from the city ? We think it would. "All for the Cause." Our friends should remember that we print all pro ceedings of Union political meetings gratis.
