share Of the blame for the growing tastes of

strongly charged that all our churches have
resorted to lotteries. plays, exhibitions, tab
leaux, dances, pic-nics, ETC., IN order to raise
money for church purposes. Most of these
charges are true, though some churches ig
moro dancing, and one church that know

raising money In any such way.
Your leader on Eight Hundred" created

hail storm at Wheeling for aught ! know.
| The hail that fell At Blairsv lille, however,
can be attributed to natural causes, as "Co-
Vode" came home the day before. Shure.
such an arrival would make the very air
shiver. Ron ROY.

Dear Freeman Thursday last, being
! the feast of Corpus Christi, was observed
with the usual ceremonies appropriate to the
occasion, in this place. The day commem-
oratlVe Of that upon which our Savior took
his final bodily departure from the scene of
! his labors for tue redemption and regsnera-
ticn of mankind, is made an occasion of a
most imposing demonstration in strictly
Catholic communities, as it is the final act
in the long seifsacIifcing career of Man
! God. who assumed the flesh and died a cor
| poreal death that the curse entailed upon
the posterity of our first parents might be
forever removed. After the celebration of
| High Mass, q procession was formed of the
boys. unmarried men. young ladies, little
| girls dressed in white, the celebrants, four
10 number, bearing the Blessed Sacrament
beneath canopy, and followed by the mar
ried portion Of the congregation, In the or
der named, in all to the number of 2,000.-

planted for the occasion, to the graveyard,
the procession halted at the beautifully dec
GRATED altars that had been erected at the
four corners OF the cemetery, and the solemn
! Benedictiou was pronounced. Cold, indeed, !,
must be the heart that would not be moved
| at this loving remembrance Of the silent
sleepers there entombed and to the pious
believer in the efficacy of prayer for the
dead. what source Of satisfaction was eli
cited from this religious demonstration in
| their behalf
Mr.. a. Yost, one Of our most enterprising
farmers, raised the largest and most comno-
! dious barn in this section Of the country, on
his farm, two niles from this place, a few
days ago. About sixty of his sturdy farmer
neighbors assisted in locating the heavy
timbers, or skeleton work. The barn is
being built under the superintendency of
! that excellent mechanic, Mr.. Frank Buck.
Miss Matte Wilkinson has opened a sub
scription school in the basement Of the
| church. and the attendance is large. This
is the second school Of the kind which has
been commenced within the past month.
and ia the very best evidence that the citi-
zens of our enterprising village are deter
mined to leave their children an inheritance
which is better than gold or greenbasks-a
| good education.
! On Sunday your correspondent paid
| visit to tie little village Of St. Nicholas, To-
Gated about six miles from here. was sur
! priscd to find a commodious and elegant
church, which was flied to its utmost ca
pacity by tie congregation uorshipping
there. After divine service We (tell it not
in Gath, freeman, that Buz Fu3 was flank

proceeded to the well kept hotel Of Mr.. N.
Lambourn. who might we'll rival his name
sake in Waltar Scett's "Kenilworth." AZ
| ter stroll through the village and attend
ing vespers in the church we returned home,
well pleased with our visit.
! Among the recent and growing improve
nsnts here must not fail to notice the fact
| that our popular hotelist, Mr.. Lawrence
Schroth has been busily engaged for several
| weeks past In altering and improving his
| hotel l believe l can safely assert that he
now has one of the neatest and best ordered
hotels in the county.
| 1t affords me considerable qualification to
| observe By The last number of the AHeghG-
MAN that our village can boast OF another
| correspondent from hore-a veritable "Fuz>
| ~ Buzzy." 1t is neither my province nor
| intention to find fault with the 1ucubrations
| from the pen of the AEteghdnidn'S CORES
! pondent, but yoC see, Mr. Freeman, he
makes an unwarrantable assault on "Buz-
| H., o,,lx x1ilf ,llx, Of
| thought misconstrues the concluding portion
of my last letter Fuzzy Buzzy" is either
case-hardened old bachelor or else he has
| been placed in the same ptedicament as a
/ young man whom l heard express himself
! last week. lie said he had courted a girl
for moro as year, he had asked her to
marry him, but she declined, and that he
| just reached out his hand and told her ''he
bid her good bye forever" He averred
further, that he would have nothing what
ever to do with the ladies in future. Per-
haps the AueghaniGn correspondent has met
with the same sad mishsp, and out Of pure
revenge wishes to not only iusinuate that
the bloom upon the cheeks of our ladies
Is artificial, but also to question the we'll
known gallantry of Buz FUz.
ALTOONA CRY, May 81, 1869.
FRIEND Macon Friday last a young and
| promising son, aged about three years, of Mir.
! Nothwang, came near losing his life in the fol-
| lowing manner While the servant girl was
| engaged in washing she set a boiler of hot wa
| ter near where she was at work, and while her
back was turned in the act of gathering up
some clothes, the little boy approached the tub
| and imm his arms up to the shoulders in
| the scalding water. When Withdrawn from
the boiling water. the flesh virtually peeled off
his little hands and arms, and his cries of agony
were truly heart-rending. The little sufferer is
still living and his recovery is hoped for.
| Mr.. Samuel Warner was last week accused
of most singular theft. Improbable as it
may seem, he was charged with appropriating

When arraigned for the act he plead guilty,
and was sentenced by Very Rev. }. Tuigg to
keep possession of the property during his nat
