Punctual to announcement,
on Wednesday last the greatest orator and
logician of this or any other age, ). N.
Free, popularity known as "the immortal
IN" made his appearance in Ebensburg
He came to espouse the cause OF truth and
combat error, and fully intended SO doing
from the public rostrum, but owing to the
fact that he was unable to secure proper
auditorium in town, and to the circum-
stance that it rained too hard during the
day and night to admit of bis speaking in
the open air, he was obliged-obltged is
the word--to lay dormant and refrain from
easing himself of the burning words of
wisdom wherewith he was fully surcnarged.
This was bad for the cause of truth, and
a severe disappointment to our citizens,
who had been counting high for many
days on a feast of reason. He tells us,
however, he will return here again in
couple of months, when Cd. W he will
most certainly speak his piece. The edi-
tor of "Godey's Lady's Book" gives notice
that, owing to the enormous rise in price
Of everything appertaining to printing, he
will be obliged to increase his subscription
rates. The new terms will be announced
in the November number. The attention
of school teachers is directed to the notice
of examination Of teachers for Cambria
township, to be held in Ebensburg on
Saturday next. The winter session OF the
Eldersridge Academy, Indiana county,
opens on the 18th proximo. This is one
Of the best educational Institutions In this
section of thesState, and we earnestly re-
commend it to the patronage of our young
men desiring to enter upon thorough
course of study. Tudor & Jones sell the
best segays in town. Give them call, ye
wto love "the weed"
STATE FAIR. The Pennsylvania State
Agricultural Society will hold its next
fair at Easton, Pa, Sept. 9th, 28th, 29th
and 30th, 1864. The most ample accom-
mudations we are informed are being made
The grounds and buildings of the Farm
ers and Mechanics Institute, where the
Fair will be held, are among the largest
and finest in the State. In addition to
the buildings and sheds already erected,
several very large tents have been secured
one for the floral and fruit department, and
the other for the Fruit Growers Society
Of Eastern Pennsylvania, who will hold
their quarterly meeting upon the grounds
at the same time. Their object is TO dis
cuss all questions appertaining to fruit
growing, as we'll as to exhibit fruits of
their own production. Their discussions
are beneficial, and will add much to the
general interest of the Fair. From pres
ent Indications, the fair will be one of the
largest ever held in the State.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN Says the
Johnstown Tribune of Friday last: ''The
Copperhead Congressional Conferees for
this District met at Huntingdon on Thurs
day of last week, and nominated r, L.
Johnston, of Ebensburg, for Congress on
the first ballot. Bob is good fellow, but
he can't go to Congress yet bit. He Is
certain to receive the worst political defeat
he ever got, and it will serve him perfectly
right, for being found in such bad COM
pany Rocking Tom Stiles baby In
sugar trough, in the extreme corner OF
White township, won't save him this time"
The Tribune speaks in riddles. We have
heard of Crock the cradle, Lucy" OF the
"Lone rock by the sea" and of ''Pock-
etful of rocks" but never of rock In
connection with Mr.. Johnston and "Tom
Stiles" sugar-trough. Won't the Tribune
take pity on our ignorance and explain!
