WnMoRE, Nov. so, 1868.

Dear Freeman-Having sought vainly in
your columns for weeks to find something
said about our neat little village which al
though not so high up in the world as your
brisk town, and cannot boast Of such
weekly as the FREEEAN, excepting the las.
sociated press" composed of several young
gents and ladies, and their productions.
(moro especially the latter), still deserves
some notice. We are not desirous of becom-
ing immortal, like Beulah, and hence my
letter to tell you the town still exists.
Wilmore is quite thriving place. There
are three churches, three hotels, two school
houses, Conc lately erected by the township
in the suburbs of the village,) two grist
mills, a saw mill, a post-ofice and telegraph
office. Also, five large well-stocked stores,
where one can have choice of great variety
of goods-their contents being something
like the 'swords and pistols, jam and pills
seen by Kriss Krindle in the rich lady's cup
board
Speaking of pills reminds me that they
are in great demand here now, Thanksgiving
day being just over and the gay young doc
tor gone. He was an Ernest man, but was
not proven to be really Ernest until he left.
However, they think he'll come back to EN-
in the spring.
A change for the better has been made in
the postal arrangement here, but it has de-
prived Shylock of his pound of flesh. Mac
is fue fellow, and we are sorry TO think he
will not be Granted another term.
The P. K. K. Co., have erected fine and
connexions brick depot here. which will be
ready for occupancy about January 1st. 1t
has long been needed and will add consider
ably to the business interest of the place.
A new schedule went into effect on Pa F.
R.. Nov. 22d, which is more convenient for
the travelling public here-aways than any

ALTOONA CITY. Nov. 80. 1868.

Friend Macon Tuesday night last the
good people (to say nothing of the bad ones)
of this city were awakened from their slum-
bers by the ringing of fire bells and the
yells of the ever VirgiLant and faithful fire.
men, and after being awakened they were
not long in discovering that the Marriott
House, occupied by Alex Smith, Esq, and
the dwelling of Mrs. Marshall. adioiniug,
were in flames. Both being frame buildings,
they were almost entirely consumed before
any water could be thrown upon them
The Marriott House, belonging to Mr.. VIM.
Marriott, was new building, and l am in
formed that the loss on it alone will reach
between $4,000 and ,,S5 900. without any
insurance. Its destruction is a severe blow
to Mr.. NJ, who had earned the money to
erect it by hard work and fruga; habits
The loss on the other property L did not as
certain.
Thanksgiving day was observed here in
true Puritanical style. Stores, won kshops,
bar-rooms and doggeries were closed up in
front. and no admittance afforded except by
the rear entrances. Appropriate services
were held in the Episcopal and Presbyte-
rian churches. In the latter the pastor,
Rev. Wallace, delivered sound and able
discourse. selecting for his text the 18th
verse of the 10th Psalm. I regret that
have not the time to give you few points
of his mastery effort. The Rev. gentleman
is graceful, fluent and very pleasing speak
er, and Lis manner always gives zest to his
able sernl Ia.
The Catholic Ladies' Fair is still in pro-
gress, and it may be said with truth that
the fair ones who have it in charge are the
most successful ''Fairists'' that nave ever

tlemen can refrain from diving their hands
20 the uttermost depths of their trowSerloons
pockets and bringing up the stamps-if they
have any. All visitors, particularly those
| Of the male PERSUASION, are deemed worthy

and poor, homely and handsome, meet with

have been fully up to expectations, and no
doubt the Fair will be successful financial
experiment all through. Among the many
beautiful articles to be voted for is splendid
set of surgical instruments, of best material
and exquisite workmanship, to be awarded
to the most popular physician in the county
of Blair.
The Vigilsnt Fire Company will open a
Fair on the 9th of December, for the pecu-
mary benefit of the organization. 1t will

Politics are dead. The Democrats are

Thanksgiving day was pretty generally
observed here as day of .teasting and by
some as a day of prayer; but mine esPeci-

The weather has been very fine for this
season of the year-a little rain. a little
snow, some freezing night before Thanks

nothing has been nipped in the bud so far.
An interesting little incident occurred in
the Lutheran church here on last Sunday
The minister was about giving away in mar
riage his daughter to gallant young man
from the Buckeye State. He was reading
the morning lesson as the soon to be son-in-

"This is my beloved son, in whom am well
pleased" The whole congregation smiled,
and thought the text appropriate to the oc-
casion.

very auspiciously and pleasantly, on Thurs
day last, and was we'll attended. The COM
modious hall of Mr.. Henry Blum was en-
livened by the presence of some fifty couples,
who INDUCED in tripping the light fantastic
until about Eve o'clock. a. M The hall was
tastefully decorated. prominent feature of
the decoration being handsome banner illu-
minated by many burning candles, spelling
the words DE Lemke Association" Had
the Rev. Father Henry himself been present
he must have been pleased with the quiet,
orderly and enjoyable manner in which the
celebration passed of.
In the absence of the earnest ana unfortu-
nate repetition of misfortune, such as chrOn-
icled last week, have supply of the sensa-

and devoid the favor of an anxious ''parient,"
took upon himself the responsibility of Sc
curing his fair inamorata under the shielding
cover of Friday nights dullness. and had
since reported, bound by the nuptial bond.
The happy twain departed for Indiana coun-
ty, and having crossed the border, concluded
to have all matters legally arranged by a
court of simple, though exact justice, and
then returned to soothe the sorrow of an
only and desolate parent. The father-in-law,
against his will, bears the affliction as his
daughter will hereafter bear--the ills of life
as ,oeH as can be expected. UNUM.
