DEAR FREEMAN-On last Saturday the hcdy
OF an infant was found in the Sixth Ward near
the old toll gate, wrapped in a flannel working
shirt that had hole burned in it. The tenn
pies OF the babe had been crushed in by some
force, not known. Great excitement as usual
followed the discovery, and efforts were being
made to find out the inhuman mother. Coro-
ner Harold was sent for and hold an inquest
which resulted in a verdict of death caused by
FOUL means.

Supees' building, on Clinton street, is quite
improved in appearance by the late touches
gwen 1t by the mechanics. A rear building
mas been put up. new story added to the top,
and all Inside improved and arranged. He
IS supposed that this house will, ere long, be
opened rs a hotel.
The late New Ysrk riots has wakened up
the old Know Nothing feeling in the breasts of
prosecuting men all over the country. Though
the rioters are to be blamed for resisting the
authorities, yet the OrangemeD are also de-
serving of blame for perssting in the revival
OF old issues betw cen foreign kings. w hen
men become American citizens they take an
oath absolving themselves from allegiance to
foreign potentates. The battle of the Boyne
being all issue between two claimants to the
English throne, we can see no propriety in eel
ebrating the victory eff the one over the other
IN this country. Orange men means King
Williams men and we do not desire to see
kings admired by American citizens. Let
Americans celebrate American DAYS. / have
no sympathy with the rioters, but it always
takes two to make fight. and the one party

spilled on the twelfth.
The Steel Works went into operation last
week and proved to be what we predicted they
would be, grand success. Some of the ma
chinery is yet incomplete, for want of time to
finish it, but the mill will be ready for constant
operation in about two weeks, when steel rails
will be made by the hundred tons. Ono steel
rail lasts long as four five iron rails. and
hence the object in making all the steel rails
possible.
Stock is being subscribed to the Johnstown
and Somerset Railroad in different places and
we think the matter will be put through rapid
ly. unless a difference of opinion as to the
width of the gauge may embarrass the enter
prise.
William Sease, son of John Seass, and
soldier of the late war, died at Dayton, Ohio,
last week, and WAS brought home and buried
on Saturday by the Zouaves. with the honors
Of war. He was aged about thirty.
The subscription books are now being print
cd for raising money to erect a soldiers monu-
ment in Sandy Vale Cemetery. The requisite
amount of money will be easily secured.
There is very little excitement here in regard
to tho Delegate elections. The people are be
coming careless in regard to their political
rights and privileges sincs they have been di-
vidsd out to everybody. This is not right
The purity of the nation can only be restored
by vigilance.
School vacations are becoming nuisance.
Ssven or eight weeks may be fun to the pupils,
but it is death to the teachers. Besides, why
don't merchants and printers, lawyers and doc
toIs, close their places OF business for a couple
of months every summerH If hot weather is
so severe on teachers and pupils, why is it not
equally severe on other peoplef But the warm
weather is not hard on pupils in school. The
coolest place in all our town is the we'll venti-
lated school house, and tho idea that pupils
suffer from heat there is decidedly green.
