Dear Freenan-The Conemaueh borough
schools were let on May 81 to John w. Ira
belt, S. B. M'Corm ick, Cat $45 per month }
Mary Griffin and Kate G. Young, Cat $40
per month The time is eight months
without any vacations.
The JohnstoVn schools were opened the
same day, the old teachers getting their sit~
uations. They will be open for nine months,
if the tax holds out. A new building was
put up in Hornerstown, and new primary
school is opened there.
On the 1st of June Wesley J. Roses term
as school director of Johnstown borough will
expire, an1 Jacob Levergood will take his
place. Mr.. Levergood has often been a
school direc tor, and always with credit 10
himself. and advantage to the borough
Jacob Trefts was re- e-elected, which means
that his course gave satisfaction to the peo-
pie.
Enclosed I send you two dollars paid by
John W. Trabert as subscription to your
valuable paper. l wish / could send you
about thousa and more, before the Republi-
can party takes all the senses of the people.
The st. Joseph's school taught by Ger
manEs Voeghtly and his son Chas Voeghtly
in the basement rooms of the new German
Catholic church, Railroad street. Conemaugh
borough, and numbering about 232 pupils,
held an exhibition on last Thursday, which
was well attended and gave great satisfac-
tion to parents as we'll as spectators. It. is
in very prosperous condition. Both Ger
man and English are taught, with music. etc.
Cyrus Elder. Esq delivered lecture on
"Woman." for the benefit of the Young
Mems Christian Association. on the 9th
ult. 1t is published in the Tribune. The
transition from the woman of fiction to
the woman of history, or from Desdem ona
to Cleopatra, is so rapid that one gets lost
in reading it. 1t is like John Van Buren s
procession. He concluded to take out his
watch to time the processson, but by the
time he got his watch out the procession was
gone. There is too much sugar in it for a
cent.
The Cooperative Library Association
have at length opered their rooms and put
their books in order. Members can get
books now at any time.
Anderson, the great wizard" is here
now with 100 presents for nothing. He was
here some time ago and we understood that
hs took away about $1,000 of the peoples
money. 1t is kind of prize lottery concern.
If you buy ticket you get in to see the
wizard and may be you draw something
may be you dent.

Dear Freeman-Local items are hard to
gather IN this section just now.
Durlng the week we had visit from a
gentleman and scholar" who is slightly de-
mented IN mind and sadly demoralized in
attire. lie pretended, or rather told the
silly story, that be had been hunting deer
and had lost bis gun, torn his clothing to
shreds, etc, in the vain attempt to capture
one. He is certainly man of fine educa-
ton, but, alas a slave to the flowing bowl.
Aspirants for political preferment are be-
ginning to Bob around quite promiscuously

well the dear people look, how they are pros
perlrg' etc, and are particularly pleased of

favorable weather, and the result is that old
Mother Earth is getting herself into the same

speedy relief and early return.

IT Spring had been dropped from the caIen-
Ger Of 1870, so repidly have we passed from
continued snow aud rain to almost tropical
heat. It is seldom, indeed, that so great a
change takes place in one month. Up to
April 9th the character of winter was fully
maintained since which period au entire
change has taken place. The average tenn
perature for March was a little over 80 de-

with abundance of bloom. Rhubarb, Onions.
