We cheerfully give place to the following communica tion, though candor compels us to say that the writer exhibits more temper than in our judgment the subject war rants. The article to which exception is taken, it is due us to state., was inserted iu. our columns whilst we were temporarily absent, and its appearance was a source of regret to us when we' discovered it, as we felt that it was unjust and uncalled-for. We cheerfully joiu tlX. Y. Z." in com mendation of the Cresson House. Du ring occasional visits there, . the deport ment of the proprietor towards us was always what might be expected from a courteous and obliging gentleman, and we have invariably heard his guests speak of him in the highest terms." Under his judicious management, Cresson has at tained a deserved celebrity as a summer resort, and is an inttitution of which the people of our county have reason to feel proud : Altoon-a, Nor. 22, 1865. To the Editor of The Alleghanian : This morning, hy the purest accident, my attention ws attracted to au article which recently appeared in your local columns, un der the caption of ' The Mountain," in which W.hs reproduced a scurrilous atlnck upon the CresV011 House, emanating from a correspon dent of the Pittshurg Leader. I doubt not the Cresson House and its proprietor can at all times abundantly vindicate themselves before hont'St find competent judge, but as the evi.ient ain of this scribbler was to create an undue prejudice against them, it is hnt nroner ttat h3 ii'J-concei ved statements s-ouId be refuted. It very often happens that men of small calibre and still less pecu niary means make their way to watering ulaces like Cresson. and undV rtake to put on airs which are not justified by i-hsir ttata in the social or monetary circle in wiuca iney move at home. These individuals occasion ally get taken down a pt'g or two, anu then . 1 1t II A mey anow ineir "angry passions 10 rise they go off in a pet, and if perchance ther are endowed with a modicum of scribbling ability, they at once turn their attention to penny-a-lining it fjr some newspaper, in the vain hope that they can '-write down" and bring into disrepute the particular establish ment which don't happen to please them. Judging by the tone and temper of his arti cle, I consider this Pittsburg correspondent entitled to a high place in the rank of these disappointed would-be-somebodies. He is either this, or but no matter. II13 whole statement about Cresson is studied and mali cious. When he says the scenery there is "tame," he writes himself down as having no taste for either the beautiful or the sublime, whilst his assertion that "'an honest mechan ic, with a modest appetite, would cleau th& tables set for the supper of twenty fashiona ble guests" at Cresson, ''and still feel hun gry," is an insult to a class of laboring men whose latchstrings he is not worthy tc loose. No gentleman . would make -such a compari son, even ii facts warranted it, which the writer well knows they do not in this case, .dffid so far as charges are concerned, I mny safely say they are as liberal at Cresson as at any other similar establishment ; and this learned correspondent should remember that the proprietors of watering-places have but a very few wetks iu which to compensate themselves for 'what they lose in keeping their establishments closed nearly the whole year. Mr. Editor, I must not trespass too much on your patience, but having been a frequent guest at Cresson during the past few years, I have ftlt it my duty to make this commuuication. Under its present proprie torship, that place has acquired an enviable distinction as a summer resort, and justly so. In common with others, I have spent many pleasant hours there, and trust to spend many more there in the future, and I doubt not the place will continue to be well patronized by people of good sensr no matter how much or how little driveliug correspondents may mis represent or revile it. x. y. z. The Johnstown Marble Works. This establishment has long been noted for the superior order of workmanship turned out therefrom. . The proprietor, Mr. John Parke, is a practical marble cutter himself, and so fully understands his business, while his workmen are the most ekillful to be had. The best of ma terial only is used, and it therefore be comes almost an impossibility to turn out other than good work. We certainly do not wish a visitation of the death-angel to any one;, but should it ever happen that the sad duty devolves upon you, reader, to rear a slab or point an obelisk in mem ory ot some dear one, we take pleasure in saying that Mr. Parke is an artist fully competent to embody your conceptions in the chastest and most enduring form. Specimens of his handiwork may be seen in all the cemeteries in the county, and in cemeteries iu Blair, Westmoreland and Indiana counties. In addition to the manufacture of monuments and tomb stones, Mr. P. also cuts to order mantels, tables and bureau tops, &c, &c. The Eb ensburg branch of his establishment is at the Hardware Store ot Mr. Geo Huntley, where specimens may be seen and orders left. See advertisement elsewhere. Interesting Discovery. Much ado is being made concerning the dicovery of gold in Greene county. The people of nsburg and vicinity are not particu- rly interested in this ;strike," but it does concern them that a still greater dis covery has been made at our very doors. We refer to the discovery of a cheap store, where goods can be bought at something like a reasonable price, and warranted to be just what they are represented. To wit, at E. J. 31 ills & Co.',.

One of the members was expelled, and another resigned.

The approach ing session 01 our county Courts promises to be an unusually' interesting one. The civil list has b-een helu r for the sec oud week, and tho Srst wcC vrill ba de voted exclusively to criminal busi7ie?-'' ' which there is a plethora. There are T less than three indictments for murder pending against the men Howser and Bowser for the murder of Misses Paul and Munday, and against John Gore for the murder ot Policeman Holmes. These cases will in all probability come up next week. Another murder trial down . on the calendar for' this Court, that of Beam and Paddle, was nipped in the bud by the escape from jail of the parties indicted. By the way, it may not be generally known that the jail is guarded night and day now, to prevent the forcible deliverance of the prisoners remaining in that - insti tution. In . addition to the fofeiroinf. there will be the usual variety of minor criminal business. We will have a full report of the proceedings lor publication. Died. At the residence of her pirent?, in Mahanoy city, Schuylkill county, Pa., on Sunday, the 19th instant, Miss Emily II. Paddack, aged about 25 years. The deceased, with her pareuts, re sided in Ebensburg for a uumber of years, and was universally beloved for her many bright and shining virtues. She had enjoyed good health until attacked with that terrible disease Diphtheria, from the effects of which she died. One so young, so intelligent an ornament to. society the pride of the household to be called frcu: amongst us so suddenly, brings to mind most vividly thit truth that "in the midst of life we are in death." Whilo sorrow clouds the hearts of her many friends, they cannot fathom, yet can they feel for the u?iutterable grief that exists n that once happy homt4,' now made sor rowful by the os of a lond, kind hearted and affectionate daughter.
