rxE TIIE Election. To many

vires composing it possessed of no sig

victory of one and the defeat of the

ierstandingly, and by the light afforded
other returns, these same rows of fig- ,

LETTER FBOJt JOHX3TOWS A QUIET ELECTION
LIVELY TIMES AFTERWARD ARREST OF
TWO SH0VXR3 OP COUNTERFEIT MOSEY SE
RIOUS ACCIDENT PERSONAL.
Johnstown, Oct. 14, 1867.
To the Editor of The Alleghanian :
The election in this and the surroun
ding boroughs passed off quietly. The
utmost good feeling seemed to prevail
with both parties. For a wonder, only
one man had the privilege of seeing the
inside of the lock-up during the day.
He happened to be going around the
street painting 15,000 Demociatio ma
jority on imaginary placards, and being
somewhat noisy, was pulled up by the
police.
There was a lively time on Canal street
on Saturday evening. A large party, fir6t
haviog primed themselves with dose3 of
fighting whisky, got up a regular "rough
and tumble' and for a time battered
heads and bruised faces were the order of
the day. The police lodged fire of the
belligerents in the city hotel, from which
they emerged next morning after paying
a salty bill for their night's lodging.
Capt. James II. Gageby, of the 37th TJ.
S. Infantry, is on a brief visit here. His
many friends are sorry that the demands
of duty will not allow him a long sojourn
with us. He departs in about ten days
for his present post on Staten Island.
On Saturday, two notorious shovers of
counterfeit money, named George W.
Water and John B. Wright, victimized
parties in our town to the tune of two
hundred dollars. The notes shoved were
tens on the First National Bank of Phil
adelphia. The two men were arrested
in Pittsburg by the depot police, yester
day. Two hundred dollars of the coun
terfeit bills were found in their possession
at the time of their arrest.
A man named Stewart, while on his
way from this place to his home in Brush
valley, Indiana county, met with a serious
accident at a point about one mile west of
town. He was driving along the old tow
path, vhcu his wagon went over the bank,
throwing him out and fracturing his skull
and otherwise seriously injuring him. His
wounds were dressed by Dr. Marbourg.
Rev. B. L. Agnew has resigned the
pastorate of the Presbyterian church ot
this place. He intends going to Phila
delphia. DiO. .
Autumn. The fact that the season of
the "sere and yellow leaf" is here does
not affect the other fact that A. A. Bar
ker has the biggest, and best, and cheap
est assortment of fall and winter goods in
town. No other fact, known or to be
known, can affect the great and abiding
fact here stated.
Wait till He Comes Again. C. T.
Roberts has gone east to buy a new stock
of watches, clocks, jewelry, notions, &c.
When he comes tack, and his bill of goods
arrives, he will will have the most com
plete jewelry establishment in the county.
Ove'.i. The electiou is over, and the
Republicans are over the left. James
M. Thompson's cheap cash store is also
over just over the way. Go over and
drop in. Bargains there for everybody,
and the latch-string always out.
The Mould of Fashion- Mills &
Davis have the most elegant store-room
in town, and they have also the most
fashionable goods for ladies' wear in town.
If any lady doubts this, she can go and
see for herself.
List of Arrivals. Among the arri
vals in town this week is Mr. V. S. Bar
ker, who has just returned from the cast
with a splendid stock of fall and winter
goods. Go and see ! Go carlyj and go
often !
From the Hartford Courant.'
The Hartford Livf. Stock Insurance Co.
This branch of insurance is something en
tirely new. This Company insures horses,
cattle, etc., against death from any cause. It
will be of great advantage to the teamster or
small farmer, who ha3 a large portion of his
capital iavested in his team, from which he
derive? his livelihood. Ta. Jcatii of a horse,
in such case, will often place the owner in
comparative poverty, whereas, by the pay.
ment of a few dollars, he can now "be secured
wgainst such calamity. The rich man can
also provide against the loss of valuable stock
in the same way. The Company has had ap
plication for Agencies from all points of the
Union, and starts with every prospect of suc-ces3.
I would not die in summer,
I would not die in fill,
And as I think about it,
I would not die at all.
For really it is not necessary if you com

vent both baldness and gray hairs and obvi
