HARD ON THE REPUBS.-AS our two
Loco-Foeo ootemporries in this place
have, without the smallest particle Of res
ervation or dihdence, expressed their
opinion as to the merits and demerits of
the late Republican County Convention,
we think we are entirely justifable in pla-
cling on record the sentiments of Loco
Foco who is not an editor. Speaking of
the Republican nominations directly after
the Convention had adjourned, he observ-
ed: "You Republicans amt half as good
men as us Democrats; because why, when
you have a Convention or big meeting
you don't never get jolly, and spend your
money, any rip things generally, like we
do. You amt of no benefit to business
men, at all y The observant speaker, it
may be pertinent to add, is an individual
who turns an honest penny by keeping an
eating and drinking house. Comment is
unnecessary. At least so we think.
nsas ave were never present at Conven-
as was in this one," (the late Republican. -
Mountdineer.
Alas That the gifted and highly ac-
complished author of the above extract
should go, and see, and come back again,
without having his insatiate thirst for
talent and genius grati6ed-ah, me! Why
it's too bad, of course! Without inqui-
ring as to how many Conventions he has
allowed the light of his countenance to be
present at, we would simply remark that
all the learning and accomplishments that
the delegates to the Republican Convention
were not possessed of are not worth know
ing, and we wouldn't advise the Mountain-
eer or any one else to attempt to acquire
them. They wouldn't be of any use in
this world, you know.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.-The Al
toona Tribune says that as soon as the
Iron Horse makes its debut on the Eb &
Clesson Railroad, the editor intends COM
ing up here to see what kind of place
Ebensburg is. That's right! Well be
glad to see you and if you amt married,
and are good looking, perhaps the ladies
may be prevailed upon to rehearse little
Hardee and receive you at ''present
arms - But hadn't you had better come
now and not wait on the completion of the
road? 'if you tarry till it's later, you may
never have an opportunity of seeing what.
sweet little place this is, to be sure
Reconsider, we pray.
BLACK BERRIEs.-If there be one thing
in which the generous earth in this sec
ton excels, it is in the production of
blackberries and blackberries are just
now fully ripened. Acres on acres are
covered with vines, and the vines bend
down and run over with the luscious fruit.
It would be almost impossible to compute
the number of gallons that are daily
brought to town for sale and otherwise,
but it is something large, you may be sure.
Blackberries are said by those who ought
to know to be the most healthy article of
vegetable diet extant, and who wouldn't
be healthy when you can buy them at
from three to five cents per quart!
CAMBRIA COUNTY REGIMENT-An
effort is now being made to organize a
regiment in this county, to be composed
entirely of Cambria county men and COM
manded by Cambria county officers. Six
companies that we know Of are already
being recruited for it. We think this idea
is good one, an / have not the least doubt
of the ultimate success of the experiment
Col. J. NJ. Campbell, of Johnstown,
formerly Quartermaster of the Sd regi
ment,) has been empowered to raise the
regiment, and will be Colonel Capt. b.
M'Dermitt will be Lieutenant Colonel,
and Capt. John Linton Major.
DRAGON CoMPANY.-Col. Freedman, |
who has been commissioned by the Secre-
tary of War to raise a regiment of dra-
goons, has authorized Col. Wm. *. Piper,
of this place, to enlist one hundred men
to compose one company of said regiment.
We understand that Col. p. is succeeding
famously in recruiting, and that he will
