The Ebensburg Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1865-1871, 1866-01-18

Volunteers have arrived in Philadelphia
from Texas, and will be mustered out of
service Immediately. There are quite a
number of Ebensburghers in this organi-
zation, all of whom will be gladly well
coined home. "A mill for the manufac-
ture of printing paper is being erected at
Spang's Mill, Blair county. 1t will be
ready for operation early in the spring..
Benjamin. Lutz has become sole editor of
the Shirleyshurg Herald, John Lutz hav-
ing retired. The paper is being submit
ted to judicious system of improvement
as to general appearanee....Ca VIM. B.
Brown, who has just finished canvassing
Cambria county for the sale of Barretts
Life of Lincoln, informs the editor of the
Johnstown Tribune that he sold $40 cop
les of the work in the county. Mr.. Chap
man has sold $50 copies of his Valley of
the Conemaugh in the county. The Hol-
lidaysburg Wing purports to be "family
newspaper" A good Journal of this de-
scription is desideratum in any commu-
nifty, and the Wing fills the required meas
ure of excellence to a charm. We hope
it may long continue i'll the family way!
I'VE see it stated that III. Money has
been elected Treasurer of Lodge No. 436
I. o. o. F., at Blairsville. There is
certainly peculiar appropriateness In
this linking of the name with the station,
and we predict that II. Money will make
a good Treasurer. The dwelling house of
Mr.. William Earhart, Blairsville, was
entered by burglar few nights since
and robbed of nearly S12,0 ,00c in Govern
ment bonds The bulk of the money has
since been recovered. The Johnstown
Democrat processes not TO want to see the
county-seat of Cambria county removed
from Ebensburg to Johnstown. The
Democrat is possessed of an instructive
aversion to grapes which are sour. The
Chambersburg Repository has just entered
upon its seventy-third volume, considera-
bly, enlarged and improved. 1t is one Of
the oldest, one of the largest, and one of
the best inland papers in the State. The
Presbytery of BlairsvilIe co. S. Presbyte-
rian) met in Johnstown on Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week.. More snow now
covers the ground in this section than at
any previous time during the winter, The
sieighing is passably good. Mr.. L. D.
Woodruff, the junior editor of the Johns
town Democrat, was married to Miss
Maggie w. Lynch, of Perry county, du-
ring the holidays. Do you want to buy
store, store-house, dwelling, &C., in an
eligible location? If SO, see the adver-
tisement elsewhere Of Joseph Gill, Glen
Connel, Cambria county.

"THE SECRET SERvICE-THE FIELD,
THE DUNGEON, AND THE EscAPE."-
This is one of the most interesting and
exciting books of the army class of litera-
ture yet published. 1t narrates the ex-
perience in the South during the rebellion
of Mr. Albert d. Richardson, the author,
who was war correspondent of the New
York TrtJune-his adventures in the Sc
cret service of The Tribune at the outbreak
of the war; his capture by the rebels at
in '63, while attempting to run
the blockade his confinement for twenty
months in seven different rebel prisons
