JOHN NsTOwN, June Il, 1873.
DEAR FREEMAE-There are three land
scape views from Ebensburg, one south, one
east, and one west that cannot be eNcelled
anywhere, either by nature or art which
! rise to remark is admired not oniy by your
correspondent, but by 7. j. c. and all other
persons of good taste
y. Blain, OF Ebensburg, has the neatest
I barber-shop in Western Penusylyania.
There are one hundred and forty private
4 boxes, with mugs and spOnges, all rs clean
;ts a new pin. Mr. Blaiu has been for four
teen years n barber in Your town which ac-
counts for his prosperity.
The bar of Ebensburg is composed of as
noble a set of CoOd-loOkiug men as can be
found in the State of the Glaties or any
other State. They are kind, genial. social
sober, intelligent, nnsophisticated, and anti
pre-desti-digatatorial gentlemen, anv one of
them, and all As earty-loolling a. the edi-
tor of the FFeentdTl. But the bench exceeds
the bar in good looks fully as much as the
heatheu ChiRee exceeds the swarthy Modoc
Politicians are indigenous to the soil of
Ebensburg, and are rs abundant as light
ming bugs i'll June, only not so full of light.
The case of Trefts rs. Pitts occupied tho
first day and part of another III Court. This
was an action of ciectmcut TO recover some
land near Johnstown. The case was tried
twenty years ago. Verdict for deteRdaHts
1t tried to rain in Ebenshurg, on Tuesday,
but that phace being 10000 feet above the
level of the sea, it couldn't rtlin.
While your correspondent was at the conn
ty-Seat, the good people of Conemaugh bor-
ouGh were shocked by the sudden death of
German resident of that place named John
Early, and it was limited that poison was the
cause. Gou will no doubt obtain the facts
before ' ou issue your paper.
The bridge across the COnemaugh river,
near the Juhnstown station, has been con-
demued not safe, and a fOrding oponed
over the river below.
Cham. Roberts, of Ebensburg, has the
biggest window in existence, except the
windows of heaven. He il an enterprising
man and sociable gentleman. Mr.. Zahm,
OF the same place, has taken the stay on his
big window for one year.
The ''eXaggeration of nothing was in
your town, but l couldn't get a glimpse OF
him. So was the man that eats eggs.
The Modoc war still continues between
the editors of the Johnstown papers, but
this is none of our business.
y case of elUpcment took place in this
borough last week, which aroused the Won
der of all our citizens. y woman, named
Angeline Davis, formerly Angelina Haynes,
of q very respectable family, eloped with
one William HUFF, boss of the engine shop
of the Cambria Iron Company. Mr.. Huff
had wife and four children, but, tempted
in an evil hour by the charms and fascina-
tiOnS of an AngeliHe, he borrowed SlOG
from one man and 500 from another, and
left with his darling dulcinia for Chicago.
We understand he has been arrested in Gin
Cinnati. His bereaVcd family lives in
house on FRANKLIN street, ADJOINING the
store of NJ. y. Meagher The wife is almost
crazed by This sal event. 1t is thought
that Huff will return, even if he is not
rested, as soon as his money runs out. An
geline Haynes, once \ lovely girl has for
feitcd the trust and confidence OF all her
relatives and friends, and will never be able
to retrieve her character. She visited Pitts
hurgh some time ago III the capacity of
a. Let all young girls take warming!
John B. Ross Esq, of Blacklick town
ship, informs us that the township aforesaid
always pays its debts, and still has a little
money left. This is right. A township that
sent Einety-SiX men to the war ont of one
hundred and fifteen voters deserves favor
able notice. Sorry, Mr. Ross, for that little
mistake, but You must blame the Squire.
