ST. LAWRENCE, Jan. S, 1873


DEAR FREEMAN-Having changed my busi-
ness location for a short time is my only apollo
gy Tor failing TO correspond with the spicy
FREEMAN for some time past. The only excite
ment in Democratic Chest is the division OF the
township, which, al you are aware: will ha deci-
| ded by ballot next Tuesday. The division
will be warmly contested for and against, but
! you may rest assured that the township will
| toe divided and before you go 10 press you
will no doubt learn the result. The division OF
| larger vote than heretofore. the places of vo-
| ting being more accessible TO many old Demo-
cratic residents who hsve:heretofore remained
away from the polls on account of the long
distance to DC travelled.
Mr.. Adam Leiden. n worthy and enterprisinR
citizen of this place, WAS dangerously inju ured
last Saturday, at Carrolltown. by a kick he re-
ceived in vita part of the body, from vicious
horse. Mr.. h.. condition Is such that he will
have TO remain in Carroll ltown for some time
Before he will be able TO resch home.
Mr.. George Helfrick. an old and peRcea BILE
citizen of this township, came TO an untimey
| death on the 2atn ult. He had gone to the
woods for the purpose OF cutting timber, and
had patiaily feled Il large tree, when il lodg ed
against another one. and In the effort to DIS
crushing his body in n fearful manner. The
deceased, Who was a childless widower. h nd
been making his home with MIR. Geo. Simmels
Der for number of years. and at the time of
his death was aged about 10. His remains were
followed TO st. Boniface church yard by q
large concourse OF relatives aud friends.
John @. Gill. ESQ. OF this village, has built
himself a neat and coy Office, adjoining his
handsome and comfortable residence. where
he will administer Justice without fear, favor
or affection. DIR. j. B. Noonan has also built a
neat and substantial office near his residence,
where he can be consulted in regard to ali the
diseases that men, women and children
heir
Messrs. Charles Langbein and Jacob Thomas
have contracted with different responsible
parties within the last few DAYS to stock in
something over two million feet OF hard tim
ber in time for .he Spring drive Gates Bros.
have also contracted with parties TO stock in a
large amount of timber, and should The Spring
season prove prUpItiOus one, the citizens of
Cambria county win be greatly bt MELTED
through tue energy and enterprise or these
gentlemen.
We have learned through the columns of the
FREEMAN the names of a NUMBER OF aspirants
W no anxious to serve the dear people. We
have a iso had several letters and personal Wis
its from good and reliable Democrats who are
anxious to secure the Delegates AT the next
county convention. Now we don't wish to
say one word against the claims oil any Demo-
crat ho has announced himself. or any reliable
Democrat no may hereafter announce HIM
self, but we take this liberty (without the con-
sent of the gentleman in question: to remark
that Chest and Eider townships Will present the
name of Mr.. Charles Langbein for the Office OF
Register and Recorder at the coming conven-
ton, and when we urge the claims OF Mr. Lang
bein only utter the sentiments OF All VINO
know him that he is eminently mt Tor the ONCE,
being practical and thorough business man
and largely identified with the best interests of
northern Cambria and we further state. with
out disparagcment TO other candidates for the
same Office, thHt Mr.. l.. Is a ripe English and
German scholar, the latter qualification being
much needed In that as well as in all other
business pursuits. Yours &c. GLENN.
