CARRoLLrowN, March :, 1870.


Dear FreemGn-For a few DAYS preceding
the absent of the peniteptial season our
town was unusually lively, and had our
friend Barnes "Bill' made bis appearance
here, and been of jovial turn of mind, he
would have certainly again reported favor
ably" The annual ice-haulings of the pro-
prletors of houses are made the occasion
OF general frOlic, and all who gratuitously
assisted them IN storing away supply of
this useful summer luxury, are literally
treated to all they can eat and drink.
Mr. Henry Blum mand Mr.. Lawrence Stitch
respectively held dances on both Monday
and Tuesday nights Of last week. Repre-
sentatives from among the young folks of
every Portion of the adjoining towns and
townships were in attendance, and every
thing passed fl harmoniously and pleasant
ly at both dances.
The thanks of your correspondent are due
Zig Zag," of st. Augustine. for the com
pllment of ticket to Rev. Keogh's lecture,
which will come off at that place in the
evening of the 18th inst. Father X. is an
able and talented lecturer and all who desire
a rare intellectual treat will make it a point
to be in attendance.
Two valuable properties have changed
hands here within tew weeks. Dr. j. j.
Oatman has purchased the house and LOT
now occupied by Mr.. Berkey, for the sum CT
81, 200 and the latter gentleman has bought
the property of Mr.. Joseph Behe for ST. 900
cash. Several new buildings will be erected
in this town as soon as the weather opens,
and if we could bring ourselves to imagine
that "Bill'' would ''report favorably' we
would apply for the immediate removal of
the county seat to this place.
"J. D. E.'', who resides somewhere in the
neighborhood of the Ciearfield county line
writes to the Johnstown Tribune for peti-
tions for the removal of the seat of justice to
Johnstown, and AYERS that he can get them
''numerou>ly signed" We think our Repub-
lican friend has only been perpetrating a
joke on the Tribune man. His reputation
as veteran "jokist" is good in this vicinity
My young friend James A. Walters, of
this place has assumed the matrimonial
harness, having been married at Loretto, on
the 1st inst. by Rev. 81. j. Mitchell, to
Miss Lizzie O'Neill. of Munster township.
We wish Jim ard his fair young bride
prosperous journey over the shoals and
quicksands which are to be found in the
current of married as well as single life

US that had the yeas and nays been called on

have been two to one in our favor, which is

SALE OF A WIFE-The Aileghonidn. which
is always heavy on sensations, gives in its
last issne the following report of transac-
tion in the local matrimonial market which
sounds somewhat apochryphal, but may be
true nevertheless
The following particulars of an extraordina-
ry sale have been furnished us: A husband
and wife, whom we shall call Mr. A. and Mrs.
A, lived somewhere in Cambria county,
They did not get along happily. Three or
four weeks ago a travelling peddler called at
their house, and, after furnishing them with
sundry little articles usually carried by fellows
of his class. asked Hr. A what he would take
for his wife. Mr.. A. replied, "Two cents !''
The peddIer took him at his word, paid over
the two cents, had bill of sale made out and
receipted. and carried the wife away with him.
The peddler-to add to the muddle-is said TO
have a wife living in the eastern part of the
State. 1t is a strange story, but we are as
sured it is true in every particular.

SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-Mr. Richard L.
Davis. of this place, was wounded in the leg
during the war by a piece of shell. His
wound was 30 bad that it stiffened his leg at
the knee joint. and Tor about five years he
was unable to bend that leg. Shortly after
New Year. he called on DR.. Fields. Of Eb-
ensburg, aud had surgical operation per-
formed on the manned member. The Doc
tor cut the flesh open to the bone, and per-
formed soms delicate surgical feat. whereby
the leg was made as "good us new" The
wound has since been healed, and Mr.. Davis
informs US that the cure is perfect. Any
person who desires recommendation as to
DR.. Fields surgical ability is referred to
Mr.. Davis. The Doctor has already secured
8 large practice, and has not lost case.
