RELIGIOUS PROCESSION IN JoHEsTOwN.-
Our always welcome and ever interesting
correspondent, ''Sku Bal" mas sent US
somewhat lengthy episte this week, but
owing to the crowded condition of our col
umns we are forced to content ourselves with
the following. extract from it. The balance
Of the letter is altogether of historical char
acter and will not spoil by keeping. Our
correspondent says:
Yesterday Sunday quite an unusual sight
was witnessed upon the street. Of our town,
which was nothing more nor less than
monster procession, headed by band Of
fourteen instruments.
The procession was compOsei of the mem
bers Of st. Joseph ; German (CathOlic) Asso-
! citation, and the members Of their church,
who we're on their way TO Cambria borough
to assist in celebrating the feast of the % I'M
maculate Conception" in honor Of which
the German Catholic church of that borough
was named. The procession was a trernen-
| dous Que, and the music of the band, as they
broke the stiffness of quiet Sabbath morn,
attracted crowd upon the streets such
! is seldom witnessed in Johnsto Appro-
pirate services in honor of the Queen ''con-
! ceived without sin" were held ia the church.
when the tremendous gathering dispersed.
| quietly and orderly, to their homes.
AT COURT.-During Court wo had the
pleasure of meeting many friends who came
to the county seat either on business or for
pleasure.
Besides the Johnstown attorneys. we met
Capt Woodruff Of the Democrat, locking

one as successful as the last.
