At a special election held on Saturday last, the qualified voters of that place annulled their borough charter and declared in fa vor of a city corporation.... A vocal and instrumental concert in aid of the new Catholic church of thi3 place will be giv en in the Court House, Ebensburg, on Monday eveaing, March 2d.... Mr. Chap man has severed his eonneotion with the Teachers Advocate, and is succeeded by Mr. A. C. Johneon, principal of the Johnstown schools.. ..The Freeman favors the nomination of Messrs. Davis and Lin ton as the Democratic candidates respec tively for Auditor General and Surveyor General. These names may possibly be recalled as belonging to the unsuccessful candidates for the office? named two elec tions ago. The Freeman does not eay so, but we infer that it is a believer in the theory that eels become used to being skinned. Murder Trial. The trial of Samuel Hull for the murder of Charles II. Par ker was commenced before tho Westmore land county Court on Thursday of last week, and was concluded on Tuesday of this week. It will be remembered that Parker was conductor of the Johnstown accommodation train on the Pennsylvania llailroad, and wa3 stabbed to death by JIull, who was a passenger on the train, at Jfinevah station. The jury, after an absence of about six hours, returned a verdict ot "guilty of murder in the second decree." Tb.5 murdered man, with his family, lived at Conemaugh. The mur derer is said also to -have resided in the southern part of this county. Important Arbitration. The case of Mr. John W. Easly and others against the Building Committee of the new Cath olic church of Ebeosburg was arbitrated at Cresson on Saturday last, before Messrs. lleeso Jno. Lloyd, J. Alex. Moore, and E. J. Mills, arbitrators. The suit was instituted by plaintiffs to recover wages claimed to be due them for -carpenter work done on tho new Catholic church edifice. Claim contested by defendants on the ground that the work done was imperfect and not up to contract. After a full bearing of the case, the arbitrators award ed plaintiffs judgment for 310.00. "I Will Not Be Undersold!" These words constitute the business motto of Mr. T. W. Williams, proprietor of the Ebensburg Stove and Tinware House. If anybody imagines that he doe3 not live up to his motto, let him give him a call, when he will find that Tom means all he says, end more that he will not only not be undersold himself, but that he will undertake to undersell all others in his line of business.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. LETTER TBOM JOHNSToWNBTABmNO AFFRAY SOT QUITE A TEBBIBLfc sAsTER BIG SCABS A THIEF AND ING BATE ITEMS. Johnstown, Feb. 17, 1868. To the Editor of The Alleghanian : A young man named Thomas. Moore was severely cut in the abdomen, at Con emaugh station, on Thursday night last, by a man named Roberts. The cutting occurred at a ball, and was the result of a trivial misunderstanding between the par ties. Roberts has made information against Moore, the injured man, charging him with assault and battery with intent to kill. The pupils in attendance at tho Cam bria Iron Cos night schools here were presented with several hundred dollars' worth of books by Hon. D. J. Morrell, a few evenings sinee. The presentation took place at the school house in Cambria boro. During the exercises, quite a panic was occasioned by the falling of the top plato of the stove. Tho persons in atten dance thought that the floor had given away, and a scene of indescribable confu sion ensued. Benches were upset and windows broken in frantic efforts to flee from the supposed imminent danger, and several ladies threw themselves headlong from the eeoond story to the ground. Fortunately, no one was badly injured, though a multitude were badly scared. A young man named McGowan was arrested here on Friday last, by detec tives from Pittsburg, on a charge of steal- in?. McGowan was a resident of this place for several, years, but has been staying in Pittsburg for some months past. It appears that in that city he met an acquaintance, who procured him a boarding-house and went security for his board. McG., in order to show his grat itude, rigged himself up in his friend's best suit of clothes and appropriated his friend s watch, and then decamped. He was traced to this point and arrested. The stolen clothes were found on his per son, but the watch was gone. The Turners masquerade ball comes off at Fronheiser's hall this evening. It promises to be an entire success, over three hundred tickets having been dis posed of. The house of Mr. C. Suppes, on CI:n ton street, was entered by burglars on Friday night last and a pocket-book con taining about five dollars abstracted there from. The arbitration in the case of Trainor vs. McCabe, for damages sustained by the former from being accidentally shot by the latter, came off at the Foster House on Saturday, and resulted in favor of the de fendant. Married, at the residence of the bride's father, Henry Vale, Esq., at Scalp Level, by Rev. R. A. Fink, Mr. Peter H. Lev- ergood to Miss Annie M. Vale. Died, at his residence, in this place, on the 4th instant, after a brief illness, Mr. Thomas Test, aged 67 years. The proposed firemen's ball has been postponed till Easter Monday evening.
