Tns Fire Carnival. During tbe past ten days, Ebensburg and vicinity have leen made the sport of the Fire King. In number and destructiveness, the fires which have occurred within that period have never been equaled here, and have combined to create a feeling of gen cral distrust if not of profound alarm io the breasts ot all our people. On Saturday last, a stable ou the prem ises of 3rr. F. P. Tiernej, in the extreme West Ward, was discovered to be on fire. Wrt flames communicated to two adjoin stables, occupied by Mr. John Grif--a sad Mr. Wehoflsky, and all three tn.'iings, with their contents, were speed ij consumed. The stables contained each a quantity of hay, and some articles of domestic utility, but the loss was not con siderable. Mr. Tiernev's stable had been 1 tDSured the day previous, for $200, in the rg.a Cambria County lnsurauce Co. Ms,1" A couple of hours subsequent to the toreroinsr occurrence, a f-ecoua aiarm was 11 l.wl Jimp. t!i dimes were found to proceed from the garret of the Jelling-houso of Mr. Wm. Mills, er.,also n t!io rxtreme West Ward- Tho fire as extinguished before any damage of v.viut was done. Tw following morning, (Sunday,") at 4o'cUV, our eicisens were again called ia.'j the street by the cry of fire. A one story frame building, in close proximity tj the site of the burned stables, was dis covered wrapped in flames. It was soon reduced to ashes. The building was ten tGted by Mr. John Williams, a weaver, who lost his loom and outfit in the wreck. Much difficulty was experienced in both this and the first fire iu preventing the fiaaies from spreading to the neighboring building", but by dint of hard work they were all 6avcd. On Sunday eveniog, a barn on Mr. AUam Makin's farm, in Cambria town fcVp, four or five mUca north of Ebens l'ir, was burned to the ground. The fcara contained the summer's crop of hay an! grain, which was destroyed. In addition to the above recited confla tjratious, of jo late occurrence as to first attract attention, there have been several others here and hereabout within the past tea days. Oa Sunday night week, a large barn on the farm of Mr. Robert JEdward5, in Cam Vr.a lo-sufchip, eeven or eight miles north of rbojsiiurg, with all its con teats, was burned down. Loss, about 2,000. Oq the Monday following a large pile clhmber in the eastern end of town was fcniei!. Lqss, about $200. On the Thursday following, the foun dry belonging to Mr. E. Glass, in the west end of town, was discovered on fire, at the flames were quickly subdued. There is a wide-spread belief that some, f not all, of these disasters have been compassed by the torch of the incendiary. While Mr. Makin's barn wan burning, tlic house of Mr. David Powell, a rich old farmer living close by, was entered by two r three men, evidently in quest of plun er. They were discovered and driven S, however, before they had attained 'He object of their visit. Mr. Edwards' barn was burned Sunday The entire family had gone to caurch in the morning, and at night when tfj returned the building was a mas of ened ruins. How could the fire have Ucu communicated to it unless by tn Wofthe incendiary ? QQ the following night, a valuable fcce was stolen from Mr. Shuster'a premises, two and a half miles north of ensburg. The thief rode it several 4i'es, and then, dismounting, inhumanly it with buckshot. Tho horse died. Thero aie other facta which lead to belief that incendiarism is rife thro'--at the county. Let our people keep their cJcs open ! If the suspicions now i entertained prove correct, and thos ni1. 7 of the wide-spread destruction be ugni, incendiaries aud incendiarism will laugat a snort Iesaon, but one very ive.

The de ceased was born in Alleghany township, Cambria county, and was well known, not only here, but throughout the entire western part of the State. He was a ver itable dwarf in size. Though 33 years of age, he had attained the hight of only 40 inches, while his weight was 50 pounds. His physica! parts were exquisitely pro portioned throughout. But, though a mere atom of humanity, he was no dwarf in intellect. He was well educated and well read, and could make a speech or write a letter. His friends, whose name is legion, for his social qualities were such as to endear him to everybody, will drop many a tear to the memory Of .Lit tle X." The remains were removed to Loretto for interment on Wednesday. A Clerical Libeler. We learn from the Philadelphia Mercury that at the late term of Quarter Sessions in and for that city, llev. J. L. Richards, of the Welsh Congregational church at Twelfth and Filbert streets, was tried on a charge of libelipg Mr. J. II. Davis, treasurer of the church. The libel was contained in a manuscript letter, and consisted in at tributing hypocrisy and a dishonest course of life to Mr. Davis. The reverend li beler was found guilty in manner and form as he stood indicted. Mr. Davis, the prosecutor in this case, was reared from boyhood to man's estate in this neighborhood. His character here, where he is best known, is beyond reproach, and his many friends will be glad to see this charge against his integ rity so signally disproved. Base Ball.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. LETTER. TBOX J0HKST0WK CHAPTER OT ACCI DENTS TBI WATER WORKS MUSICAL, AC. Johnstown, Oct. 28, 1867. To the Editor of The Alleghanian z . The. other day, a man named Callag- han, while fooling with a circular paw in the turning establishment of Dunfee & Son, had one of his fingers taken off and his hand otherwise badly lacerated. A man named Barnett, an employee of the Johnstown Mechanical Works, had one of his feet badly crushed while erect ing an ice cutter on the pier of the bridge which connects Millville and Johnstown Borough. A lady who is subject to fits had a nar row escape from death la6t week. She was walking on the railroad track, a short dis tance east of town, when she was attacked by a convulsion ; fortunately, two gentle men on their way up from Conemaugh perceived the condition of the lady and had her removed to a house near by. A few minutes afterwards, the Express train camo along and would certainly have crushed her to death had she re mained ou the track. She was perfectly paralyzed when removed. The pipe for the Water Works has been successfully laid across the Cone maugh river to Main street. It is expect ed to have the water in town by the first of January, '68. The Starlight Ministrels of this place gave their first annual ball on Friday evening, Oct. 25th, at Hansman's Hall. This troupe bids fair to become one of the best in the State. DiO. Is It Not So ? We feel confident that all of our readers who have visited C. T. Roberts' jewelry store will agree with us in saying that it is the finest es tablishment of its kind outside of the large cities. His stock embraces every description of jewelry, clocks, watches, musical instruments, book?, stationery, notions, &c, all which are sold at the very lowest possible figure. Go and see tbe articles and examine the schedule of prices. What Is the Use ? What is the use ot trimming a lamp, if you never intend to light it? What is the use of grasping a wrong, if you never intend to fight it ? What is the use of buying a coat, if you never intend to wear it ? What is the use of a house for two, if vou never intend to share it? Talking of coats, if you want to buy one, or any description of ready-made clothing, go to Thompson's ! A Matter of Importance. If you go to Johnstown soon and we know that you will, for everybody goes to Johnstown as often as possible make it a point to visit E. Leopold & Brother, on Main st. This firm keeps the largest, "best, and cheapest clothing store in that place, and if you need anything in their line, you cannot do better than buy from them. At The Corneiu Mills & Davis, the popular High street merchants, pride themselves, first, that they have got the largest and most tasteful store-room in town ; second, that they have the largest and most varied stock of goods in town; and third, that their prices are the lowest in town. They have certainly good caufle for self-gratulation. iou iet i ii me tate nres in tnis section of country were the work of in cendiarism, (as many Euppo;e them to have been,) we will bet ten cents against a tin whistle that the incendiaries never read the Bible, went to a public school, nor bought a dollar's worth of goods at A. A. Barker's mammoth mercantile bazaar. The V ery Reason. The reason why V. S. Barker's store is eo immensely pop ular is because all goods Fold there are warranted to be exactly as represented; if they prove otherwise, the money is re funded. People like to buy "on the square," and therefore go to Vallie's. Educational. Eldersridge Academy "will open its Forty-second Session on Wednesday, Oct. 16, 1867.
