Dear Alleg; The sale of the Dibert es-
| tate, which was advertised SO extensively
| IN the newspapers, has about closed. This
sale comprised about 260 lots, and may be
taken as fair criterion of the value of
real estate in Johnstown. I have not all
the figures to give you, but need only
mention that the old sMansion House"
property was knocked off to Mr.. VoRinkle,
of Hollidaysburg, for the sound sum of
$4,000.

were unusually numerous, and the boro.

| fines, &c.

D1ED-In Washington City, D. c., on Sun
day morning, May the Goth 1866, Mrs LoUI-
sA, wife of Capt. L. Lowry Moore, and daugh
ter of the late Geo. b. Spang, Esq, of Spang's
Mills, Penna., aged SO years, 10 months and
Z days The mortal remains Of the deceased
accompanied by her surviving and bereaved
husband together with some dear friends and
relatives from Washington, reached the old
homestead of the departed Lula on Tuesday
morning, and the next day, Wednesday, May,
the 23d, after a sermon being preached at the
house Of the bereaved family from the words
recorded in Numbers %: 10, 'sLet me die the
death of the righteous, and let my last end
be like his, and other appropriate services
which were conducted by the writer-her 1e-
mains, accompanied by large concourse of
relations and friends, were conveyed to the
family graveyard, where her dust now sleeps
beside that of her sainted mother who also
but recently went to her long home, awaiting
the resurrection morn. Scarcely had she
reached the meridian of life when it pleased
the Lord to remove her from the troubles and
sorrows of earth, to the joys and bliss of the
fair land beyond the grave. Though not
having enjoyed very good health for several
years, her last illness, however, was but of
short duration. Her summons from time to
eternity, came in q measure unexpectedly to
her companion and relatives-and DURING her
few last days, whilst life was ebhinp she
suffered severely and acutely but HAVING q
strong and saving faith in the atoning blood
of the Redeemer, she was enabled to bear all
with an unusual degree of christian fortitude
and 4ation-Cheerfull submitting to
God, and acquiescing in the decree of His |
divine will The deceased being naturally of
a kind heart, lively, and cheerful in her dis |
position, always ready and willing to give re- |
lief and comfort to the distressed, and liberal |
almost to q fault, especially to all the benev- |
olent operations of the day she made nume- |
rous friends wherever she went. Too amiable |
and gentle for earth, the spirit of Lula has |
crossed lifes stormy sea, to live IN that ho- |
Her and purer atmosphere of peace, Joy, |
celestial felicity and love ; where perennial |
springs of bliss and fullness of Joy shall for |
ever flow rom the throne of God-where no |
voice is heard bat the sweet music OF angels, |
and no language spoken but thet of sainted |
spirits, who have washed their robes in the |
blood of the Lamb. Whilst earth has lost |
one of its fairest flowers, the grave has gain
ed precious jewel. Her death is most deep
ly lamented by affectionate but bereaved
husband and large circle of relatives and
friends who rnourn herloss. Rnt their ir
