Not one retired but thankful for his aid;

Whilst thus his days in mercy's works took

Editor OF Cambria Frcemdll-Wiil you be kind
enough to give me space i'll your columns to do
some justice to certain of our county offit:ials
VINO, think, have been undeseryedIy abused?
since the Auditors of Cambria county have
made their report of the Receipts and Expend-
ltures or the county for the year ISL the Johns
town tribune and the Ebensburg Herald have
beeh, week after week. holding up to the view
OF taXpaS ers what they pleased to term the
enormous frauds and robbcries committed by
tne oihClalS entrusted with the financial affairs
OF the county. The Tribune compares the sum
palu 10 Commissioners in Bedford county with
inc glgah tic q amount paid TO the Commission
ers or TINS county, for services rendered, and
makes quite a noise about the difference. The
writer of this has not seen the report of the
AUDITORS of Bedford county, but the editors
or the papers in question have been asking for
light, in order TO see and understand what they
are talking so loudly about, they should have
looked little further than merely across the
line of Bedford county. They should have ex-
amined the reports from " WeStmOreland Clear
field, Indiana, Toga, FenangO, LycOmtng and
Dauphin counties, and then they could have
seen that The frauds and robberies' in other
exceed those alleged by them to haV e been COM
editors have drawn n comparison with Bedford
county in regard to the amounts paid to the re-
spectfVe Boards of Commissioners, L will take
the liberty OF extending comparisons a little

DuncannOn Letter,

Mr.. Editor. has been so little
going on here, other than the regular every
day routine, that it seemed scarcely worth
while to write to you. just now there is a
little inquiry being made about the hook
and ladder business. The contract was
given out some time ago but no ladders
have as yet made their appearance. ]
believe there was something said in Il
former letter about the building of hall
by the Knights of Pythias. A committee
was appointed TO look up suitable sites as
certain prices &C., and the lodge voted $500
toward the building of the hall, going to
show that they mean business. The COM
mittee reported several suitable places
ranging in price from $3.50 to $1,000, but
no action was taken on it. If the citizens
generally, will help, there is no doubt the
enterprise will be success
