vi NeNeI'u colofed brethren preachers. OF
Rev. Fortune he says: "When he first
arrived in the village (Johnstown) he was
unable to read, but by dint of hard study
he was soon able to master the alphabet
vi MI. - he says "He now sleeps
calmly and peacefully in Sandy Vale Gem
etery, where the flowing waters of tue
Stony creek ripple his requiem"
The local of the Voice, however, is ten
spots ahead. He is not only familiar with
the Bible, but also with Hoyle. He says
of Congress
Would it not be better to clean out the
whole crew of congressman at Washington,
as Christ scOurged with rods the mOhey-
lenders from the temple, and elect men and
better men? Do we not need an entire new
deal in which the cards will not be stocked
and in which the Heather Chinae the pol-
lticiaIs by profession, will not hold four
aces in his hand for the purpose of respecta-
bic robbery
M p. MEAGHER.
The subject of this memoir was born in
Ireland, but came to this country few
years ago. About three years since he
located Ill Johnstown, and his quick bust
ness eye perceived that something was
wanting i'll a town and county that had so
many representatives from the Emerald
Isle. So he Immediately opened 4 book
store for the sale of religious books and
periodicals.. His enterprise proved sue
cess, and he has just lately laid in an i'm
mense stock of religious books suitable for
the Catholic service, which he will sell at
New York prices. 1t is said that angels
sometimes visit us unaware. We do not
know how this is, but we do know that Mr.
Neagher is as good as an angel at any
time, and he is now doing as much good.
With heart rs large as the Peak of Ten
nerltte, and business tact possessed by
few, he is now supplying the county with
such books as the Lives of Father Gallitzin
and Roger b. fancy, Bibles, prayer books,
catechisms, and other religious works, pic
lures, crucitixes, newspapers, etc, at the
cheapest possible rates. We hope every
son and daughter of our noble mountain
county will give him a call. They will
find most obliging gentleman to deal
with, and no churl i'll any respect. He
keeps near Brady's old hotel, opposite the
Marble Works, Franklin street.
OIL AND WATER.
The great issue between 1chite and black
is being developed in this place, and the
doctrine that oil and water will not mix is
now established. The School Directors of
this borough built a house on a lot owned
by the NJ. f. Church, and when they va
Gated it they sold the house to that Church.
Having no use for it, the latter rented it
to the Albright Church. every member of
which is Republican and old Know Moth
ing. This Church used the building afore-
said for about three months, when the NJ.
+. Church also rented it to the negroes,
who have greatly increased i'll this place
since Messrs. Roscnstcel & Co. have hired
Degroes instead of white men to run their
tannery. When the Albrights found out
that they had to associate with negroes
they left the building and demanded that
their rent should be refunded. Some of
the amalgamationists still adhere to the
negroes, but nine-tenths of the people are
in favor of the Albright movement. Let
Ham associate with Ham and Shem with
Shem. So say we. Oil and water will not
mix.
THE LATE STORMS.
There are three theories given for the
very late spring and the very long winter.
One is, that the crust of the earth is cool
ing or getting thicker every year, and the
fire ut the center is diminishing. The
second theory is, that the fire in the sun is
decreasing. The large spots on the sun
are burnt out districts that afford no heat
The third theory is, that the earth is going
away from the sun, every annual revolution
sending it out further and further towards
the limits of the universe. Our theory is,
that man is confou1sded qruM6Ler, and
thinks every returning season the worst
one he ever saw, and my theory is correct.
EARLY POTATOES.
If farmers want early potatoes, let them
purchase the Peerless Potato" and cut
each one SO that each cut will have an
eye, then plant them about a foot deep, in
rich soil, around the ears and chins of the
local editors of the Johnstown papers. If
they don't grow it will not be for the want
of peerless soil and bone dust, but for want
of internal heat. Eternal heat may cause
the buds to germinate after the reporto-
rial career has shuffled off it's mortal coil.
That's what you fellows get for telling us
to got to h-China.
LINCOLN STREET.
There is a quarrel about opening Lin
coln street. Indeed, we never knew any
thing of that name that there was not a
quarrel about. Even the monument of the
late tdnlented stands unfinished, some God
forsaken carpct-bagger having done the
job half and pocketed the profits. AS this
fight about the street is all in the Lincoln
family, we will say nothing on either side.
4. h. is good friend of ours. SO is +.
w. H., and SO is j. NJ. c., and SO is G. b.
E. and the only way we can keep out of
the fight is just to say that it is not a Dem
OcrdtIc measure. Just call it Adams street,
or Greely street, and then we are in
But, seriously, we think the time will come
when that street and Locust must be
opened, and the sooner the quicker.
OTHER MATTERS.
The RedemptorIst Fathers Will open a
Mission in St. Johns (Catholic) church, on
May 4th, to continue two weeks.
j. c. NJ Featers closed his school at Min
eral Point with an exhibition. There are
few such teachers in this State. | may
safely say he is the best i'll the county, and
this kind of overshadows ourself, but we
cannot help that. Fiat j,lstitia ruat coeEum!
If we don't get the nomination for the
Legislature i'll June, we will spite the peo-
pie by going to California in September,
from which elysium we will write prosy
letters back to the Freeman and other pa
pers. 1t will take us three years to de-
scribe the Sacramento and Joaquin val
leys, and by that time we will be eligible
to Congress, where we intend to land,
(Dco u0Ecnte.) In the meantime let all
pseudo friends keep their hair cropped
short, we will tumble them over ultima
thule, where Milton's fallen angels fell nine
days.
