of the question of the abstract rijhl of the

V1. ' Johnstown", Jan. 22, 1866. !
. On Sunday night last, a man named
Blacklog ran off from this town, "between
two days." , His absence would probably
not have been seriously felt had it not
been for. the fact that, when he went away,
he took with him, as friends and com
panions, two women.? One of: these was
the wife of .Mr. William : Sease," of this
place, and the "other was'Sease'a sister.--They
went from here to Harrisburg, where
report hath it that this Log which is ap
propriately known as Black was married
to one of the women. . He is the indenti
cal individual who distinguished himself
iontie Sunday preceding New Year's by
breaking into the negro Chambers' barber
shop, on Clinton street, and who was so
nearly extinguished there and then by a
Wow upon the head from a poker in the
hands of the infuriated barber. He was
arrested at that time for a breach of the
peace, but was subsequently released on
bail. Now, when. the gentlemen who
"went his bail" ; discovered that Blacklog
had sloped, he forthwith telegraphed to
Harrisburg and had him arrested on a
bail-pjece. He was brought back on
Tuesday, and is now in the county jail,
where he can ruminate at leisure on the
mutability of all human calculations
It is averred that Blacklog has a wife
residing in Somerset county; if so, the
chances for an interesting case of bigamy
at our approaching Court are good.
A couple of days ago, a man', named
Sloan had a leg broken and was other
wise injured in a coal-bank in Conemaugh
boro. It is not expected that he will
recover. 7
On Thursday evening, a horse belong
ing to Dr. Emerson, which was attached
to a sleigh, became alarmed at some object,
and ran off up Clinton street. In the
course of his mad career, he overturned
a number of young boys, one of them a
son of the Doctor, who had his head
somewhat cut, but not dangerously. The
flying steed was ultimately brought to a
stand-still in a fence corner, before any
farther damage had beep inflicted.

For the Ladies. Our lady readers
I have long complained of the obnoxious
compounds . prepared and recommended
for toilet use, and have long desired to
procure an article on which they could
rely. We take pleasure in introducing to
their attention an article which we know
from personal experience to be exactly
what they have so long needed "Grego
rie's Enamel of America.". : It is a purely
vegetable preparation, .and consequently
harmless to the skin. It utterly removes
freckles and moles, and by softening and
cleansing the skin, conceals all marks of
small-pox. To remove roughness of the
face, or for chapped hands, it is without
a rival. Try it, and be convinced that it
is what it is represented to be. Price one
dollar per bottle, or six bottles for five
dollars. J. M. Thompson, at the P. O.,
agent for Ebensburg.
Patriotic Lecture Mies Susanah
Evans. We are requested to state that
the renowned Cambrian orator, Miss Su
sannah Evans, will deliver a patriotic lec
ture in the Congregationalist Church,
Ebensburg, on next Monday evening, 29th
inst. Subject, "The Armless Sleeve."-
Miss Evans was advertised to speak here
once before, but force of circumstances
caused her to break the engagement ; this
time she will cerUxiidy como. Her great
popularity will doubtless draw a crowded
house.

Pittsburg, by the Rev. R. R. Williams,

Harriet Williams, both of Ebensburg.
We congratulate these our friends on
the happy termination of this little affair
of theirs, and bespeak for them a long life
and a happy one! '
Writ of Error. An application for
a writ of error in the case of Buser and
Howser, the condemned murderers, has

motion will be argued on the 15th day of
