TAPPAN's Ggxs.-We are indebted to
Mr.. Day Of the firm Of Luac & Griggs for
one Of these new and beautiful pictures.
They are entirely new, having just
made their appearance in the Eastern mar
ket. Mt. Day, knowing just what would
suit his customers, has filed up his stock
with the latest and choicest selections in
the market. If the citizens Of Davenport
are not pleased with the many fine things
on exhibition at No. 55 Perry st.. then we'll
migrate from such community-just step
10 and look at Tappan's gems for instance.

ninety deaths in Navasota out of three
hundred taken up TO this time. Not

The California papers come to US
loaded with ordinations and recrim-
nations regarding the recent State
election, The San Francisco Bulle-
tin and the Sacramento Union are
charged on the one hand with there,
sponsibility of the defeat of the Re-
publican party. These journals re-
tort vigorously that the real cause of
the disaster was the knavery of a few
party leaders, who threw Mr.. Bidwell
overheard, because he was TOO honest
for their purposes, and put a lobby
vulture2at the head of the ticket
The San Francisco Times denies
the truth of the charges brought
against Mr.. Gorham, and fairly CLOVIS
with rage against the Bulletin and
Union. The German paper published
atSan Francisco says that the Re-
publican Germans voted the Demo
cratic ticket en- nadsse on account of
the Sunday law. Governor Knight,
in his serenade speech, said that the
result of the election was a rebukey to
the Chinese Empire, and an express
sion. of the fixed determination of
California not to be overrun by Ash.

given pro. and con-, we are led to
wonder that the Republican ticket

Lincoln at GETTYSBURG

On the 18th of November 1863,
Abraham Lincoln delivered his dedi-
catory address on the occasion of con-
seerating thes National Cemetery at
Gettysburg. The immortal words
which he then uttered cannot be too
often impressed upon the American
people, and their republication, to day
will associate them with the similar
ceremony enacted over the dust, of
the brave men who fell upon the
equally glorious field of Antietam:c
. Fourscore and seven years ago
our fathers brought forth upon this
continent new nation, conceived in
Liberty, and dedicated to the epropo-
sitfon that afEmen are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great, civil
war, testing whether the nation, or
any nation so conceived and so, dedi-.
Gated, can long endure. We are met
on great battlefield of that war.
We are met to dedicate a portion; of
it as the final resting place of those
who here gave their lives that that
nation might live. 1t is altogether
fitting and proper that we should do
this. ~ ltai
But@in a larger sense we cannot
dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we
cannot hallow this ground. The brave
men, living and dead, who struggled
here, have consecrated it far above
our power to add or detract. The
world will little note, nor long re-
member, what we say here. Tt, is
for US, the living, rather to be .dedica-
ted here to the unfinished work, that
they have thus far so nobly carried
on It's rather for US to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before is-that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion, to the
cause for which they here gave the
last measure of their devotion- that
wehere highly resolve that the dead
shall not have died in vain, that, the
nation shall, under God, have. a new
birth of freedom, and that the gov
ernment of the people, by the people,
and forthe people, shall not perish
from the earth

LETTER FROM JoHNsTowS-A BOLD ROBBERY
AND AN UNGRATEFUL THEA woULD-BE
GHosT-A RECKLESS CRIMINAL-ACCIDEsTs.
JoHNsTowN, Nov. 25, 1867.
To the Editor Of The AHeghGnian:
A bold and daring robbery was COM
mitted here on Monday evening last. A
man named Flick had gone to the house
of Mr.. Jas. b. McCreight, and represent
&c that he had no money and had eaten
only one meal at table for eleven days.
Mr.. McC, with his accustomed geLeros-
ity, took the fellow into his house and
kept him several days, and even gave
him some money. On the evening stated,
Mrs. McCreight missed gold watch and
chain, aud had the premises searched
The man Flick had gone to bed, from
which he got to assist in the search. The
watch was found, secreted iu the room
in which he slept. The rest of the Jew
| elry could not be found. In about thirty
minutes after, Mr.. Nee. missed his best
suit of clothes, and repairing to Flick S
room, found the bed empty and the bird
flown. He was arrested at Florence on
Tuesday evening, and in default OF $4,000
bail was sent up for trial.
Considerable excitement has existed in
town during the past ten days, owing to
| the performances of Would-be ghost,
who nightly perambulated the streets,
| frightening the women aud not unfre-
quentiy the men. The masquerader was
arrested the other night, and alter being
reprimanded, Was released upon promising
to sin no more in the future
Thompson, the murderer of young Nc
Donald, spent all of last Monday in La
trobe He was heavily armed, and it
seems the people there were afraid to ar
rest him.
Mrs. John Brady met with painful
accident on last Wednesday eve. While
going up stairs, her foot slipped and she
fell, dislocating her ankle and fracturing
her leg between the ankle and knee.
A man whose name l have not learned
was severely injured on the railroad here,

GONG AWAY FROM HOME 10 GET
THE NEws.-We clip the following item
from last weeks Hollidaysburg Register
"E5ensburg Burned Such was the start.
ling report circulated in town on Sunday, but
on Monday the welcome news was received
through men from that vicinity that there had
been no destruction of property by the De-
vouring element, in that place, On Saturday
night, when 1t was said the fire occurred"
Ebensburg has mot yet been burned,
bu: that will very likely be the ultimate
fate of the town if she does not provide
herself with more efficient Ere depart
ment than she at present possesses.
NEW GooDs.-J. NJ. Thompson has
just received his stock of new goods for
fall and winter. His shelves fairly groan
under the new supplies, which have been
selected with an eye single to the wants
of the people of Ebensburg and vicinity.
Those wanting to secure bargains should
give him call and those wanting to get
the pick of the bargains should call early.
No UsE.-Tho other day, a fellow stole
a coat from a gentleman in this place
The result will be that he viii probably
expiate his crime by going to the peni.
tentiary for season. The fellow might
have saved himself this modification by
going to Mills & Davis store, where he
could have bought good, bran-new coat
for mere song.
THE OLDEsT.-The oldest newspaper
in the world is said to be published in
Pekin, China. It is printed on silk, and
has appeared every week for at least a
thousand years. The oldest, cheapest,
and best store in Ebensburg is A. A.
Barker's, wherefrom are dispensed one
thousand bargains each week.
TINwARE, &c.-Thos. w. Williams is
increasing his stock Of tinware, sheet-iron
ware, &C., day by day. His stock is now
large, and comprises nearly everything in
that line needed by the public. All he
asks is trial-he feels confident that
both his work and his prices will give
satisfaction.
JEwELRY.-Do you want to buy any
jewelry-a ring, pin, bracelet, a pair ol
earrings, OR sleeve buttons, watch OIL
fob chain, anything in the ornamental
line-go to Cham. Roberts He will sell
you good article, warranted, at fail
price. His stock of jewelry is uudeniably
the largest and best in the county.
