THE CAMERON COUNTY PRE&£, ESTABLISHED BV C. B. GOULD, MARCH 1866. VOL. 38. THE CHAMPION MIXED PAINT Sold by L. TAGGART has no superior. Fourteen years ago I painted my houso with these paints and am now, or the first time since, repainting it. H. L. Smith, the painter, says he never knew of a house in better condition for painting after having stood so long. A gentleman, whose name I will not mention, living in our town, painted his house thirteen years ago, with these paints and he has engaged some paints to repaint, saying that he would have no other. Dr. Heilman will also testify as to the merits of these paints. County jail painted four years ago. John Lind's two houses painted two years ago and many others, all speak for the virtue and staying qualities of these paints, and is better evidence than any man's word. Look at them; then buy the Champion paints and paint your house and be happy. Also paper your house wit i the ele gant wall paper at Taggart's and be doubly happy.

Robinson's combined shows arrived in Emporium some time Sunday night, having cancelled the Renovo date, and enjoyed one day resting here. The 512 employees eDjoyed their vacation in a very orderly manner, in faco of the fact that they received their pay for the week. Many crowded to the postofflce to send money to their homes, while others crowded our stores, making needed purchases. Tuesday was a fair day and an immense crowd, coming on the railroads and by con veyance. The great parade, a gorge ous affair, was all that could be wished for. The afternoon performance was attended by over two thousand per sons and the reputation of John Rob inson for producing what he advertis ed was fully maintained. The open ing spectacle "King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba," while not up to that presented here two years ago, was a very beautiful and pleasing feature. The trained sea lions, the best number on the program was the wonder of the performance. It seemß increditable that they should perform with balls, balianoing them on the tips of their nose. In one instance one of those slimy animal' crawled up a step ladder at the same *.jae balancing a large ball. Their performance was wonderful as well as sensational. It would require more space than we have to give a full count of this great circus. One especially we desire to mention—that of the slack wire pertormance who per formed a score of miraculous feats. "Looping the loop" caused mauy to close their eyes whilst the young color ed lad made his lightning trip. The vast audience was kept busy watching the numerous performers—as many as eleven distinct acts being performed at the same time. It was the largest cir cus and best performance ever in thifv section and more than one cared to watch at one time. The menagerie was truly the best collection of animals ever in this sec tion. Rev. Speak, a retired minister, delivered lectures in front of the forty cages and imparted much information. The great three ring circus is evidently reaching the top notch and our town was very fortunale in having the op portunity of witnessing it. Press Agent W. L. Wheeler was un tiring in his efforts to make all feel at home and found it no hardship to as sist the ladies and children to get the best view of the animals and point any features he thought might please them. He is a valuable acquision to John Robinson's honest show of clean per formance and orderly, sober men and well behaved ladies—an army of ladies and men and not an intoxicated person was noticed during their two days' visit in Emporium. Mr. Robin son is a general, as well as an enter tainer. Amputation Necessary. It is with keen regret that wo an nounce the result of the serious acci dent to Mr. D. H. Lamb, an account of which was given in these columns last week. Accompanied by his wife and Dr. J. Q. Steele, Mr. Lamb left for Dr. Park's hospital at Buffalo Friday after noon he stood the journey fairly well and on Saturday morning although it was vainly hoped that the injured arm might be saved, amputation was found necessary and the arm was takeu of! about three inches above the elbow. He passed through the operation nicely, and although he has a high fever, is quite nervous and suffers con siderable pain, he is getting along as well as can be expected. Mr. Lamb has hosts of sympathizing friends in Galeton who sincerely hope the worst is now over, and trust his re covery may be a speedy one.—Galeton Dispatch, Wedding Bells. Invitations are issued by Mr. and Mrs. Alex. DeShetler, of Sinnamahon ing announcing the marriage of their daughter, Miss Phoebe Belle, to Mr. Adelbert B. Beldin, next Wednesday evening.

The happy twain will please accept the congratulations of the PKKSS, oven though it be a little in advance of the great occasion.

Hockley—the former having been connected with the paper for many years, while Mr. Hockley has for several years been associated editorial ly with the journal. We welcome the gentlemen and hope their fondest ex pectations may be realized. Both gen tlemen have the ability ;to get up a good sheet and no doubt will serve the patrons faithfully. The PRESS ex tends the right hand of fellowship. Busy Officials. Burgess Josiah Howard, Chief of Police Frank Mundy and assistants Friendel, Ritchie, Montgomery, Dal phy and others, were kept busy on Monday and Tuesday preserving order. To the credit of the circus men be it said that the major portion of the drunkenness was confined to outsiders. The most disgusting exhibition was the arrest of two men who drove fur iously through the streets with two ladies (?). The men landed in the lockup and enriched our borough treasury. Elk County riystery. Mrs. Bernard Canavan of Kersey, Elk county, died Thursday morning under very mysterious circumstances. The Rid gway Advocate says that she had gone out from home Wednesday morn- ing to pick wild strawberries, but did not return wben expected, and a search was made for her. The l.ady was found in an unconscious condition, lying not far from the railroad, and her face horribly crushed or beaten. At first it was thought she might have been hit by a train, but her bucket was found upright and filled with berriep, hence is believed she was assultcd with a club. John Peeling Killed. John Peeling, the 19 year old son of our respected townspeople, Mr. and Mrs. A A. Peeling, met with sudden death while working on a B. & S. log train at Cowley Run Junction on Wednesday night. Less than two week's ago John left here full of life and vigor, physically able to cope with the hardships of life. He found employ ment on a B. &. S. log train where he was gaining the confidence of his superiors as a careful, trusty man. At Cowley Run Junction Wednesday evening he stepped between the cars of a motionless, yet heavily loaded train, to In some way arrange the brakes when the slack in the couplings gave way and the logs which protruded over the cars caught his back and chest and a giant though he was in strength, his life light went out at a candle be fore a gile The body was brought here today and was takjn to the home of his parents on Brooklyn side. 110 leaves besides his agsd father and mother, four brothers and four sisters namely.

Woe to the human race that a wind having its origin in Cameron county can whelm the land and make any body tired! Herr Blumle is loose again. Gusts of vocables and cataclysms of rhetoric in Emporium threaten to dis turb the State with a vast upheaval— perhaps of mirth. In addition, Herr Blumle, for some reason named Fran cis Xavier, has painted his face, thrown the belt off the wheels of the machine for the encouragement of fecundity and began a ghost dunce in clogs hav ing for one of its purposes a stealthy attack upon the integrity of the Tele graph. This gentlemen who would be the father of fecundity prizes and the foster father of the entire population of Cameron county, said in a recent is sue of the East Emporium Independ ent, while speaking of Mr. Mullin, the man who got Blumle's place in the Legislature when Blumle was un seated: Mullin wrote the slurs that appear ed in the Harrisburg Telegraph him self and paid for them, too. It was one of his regular daily trips to the office on Third street, where he spent more time than he did in his own of fice in Emporium. . The winds that moan through the physical development above Mr. Blumle's shoulders probably got the putative Representative's facta mixed, but with these trifling exceptions they are correct: 1. Mr. Mullin did not spend more time in the Telegraph office than he did in his office in Emporium. 2. Mr. Mullin never spent any time in the Telegraph office during the last session of the Legislature. 3. Mr. Mullin did not write any thing for the Telegraph. 4. Mr. Mullin did not cause any thing to be written for the Telegraph. 5. Mr. Mullin did not bring, send or procure the sending of any written thing for the Telegraph. 6. The editorial columns of the Telegraph are not and never were at the disposal of Mr. Mullin. 7. The editorial columns of the Telegraph are not for sale. 8. Neither Mr. Mullin nor any other men or set of men can buy the editorial columns of the Telegraph. 9. We do not know and will not ask anybody to tell us what is meant by: "It was one of his daily trips to the office on Third street." This sounds like a watchword of the Society for the Encouragement of Frequent Births, and its meaning may not be proper for publication. Many men might say that Blumle is an exaggerator and an arch enemy of the truth. We slur no man. We B.iy that Mr. Blumle is such a friend of truth that he takes liberties with it in comparison with which the greats est license of the press is but a pecca dillo. Program for Children's Day at M.

Yesterday afternoon about three o'clock, Michael Zimmitt, a carpenter in the employ of contractor Kriner, fell from a scaffold .at Frank Shives' new residence, a distance of twenty three feet, breaking his back. He was removed to the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. A. Kinsler, and Drs. DeLong and Bardwell called, who pronounced the injury fatal. Mr. Zimmett, who OWQS and works a farm in Plank Road Hollow, at the same time following his occupation of carpenter, has resided here many years and is one of our hard working, hon est citizens. His death is only a ques tion of a little time. Mr. Zimmitt has worked upon the largest buildings iu town and always exercised the great est care. It is a mystery that he should stand upon a slim board that would not carry a boy, much less a man. We in common with our people, deeply deplore this accident to one who has always labored so faithfully to procure a home and rear his family. How Bad They Feel. The fact that Renovo has been reek ing with small-pox for some time and no disposition manifested to purge themselves until the State Board of health got after them and threatened to fence in the town, was sufficient to cause Robinson's circus to give that town the go-by, not deeming it policy to expose themselves. Accordingly they came to Emporium and rested on Monday, thereby adding many hund reds of dollars to the tills of our mer chants—Monday being pay day with the circus. Of course a portion of the smart (?) Alexs of Renovo, more especially the Renovo News, have been in a hysteri cal state ever since the great circus de clined to stop, and appear to vent their spite on Emporium and Kane, as fol lows: A few of the hysterical old folks at Emporium and Kane, who never saw a case of Bmallpox, and who evidently cherish strong feelings of living for ever on this earth, took it into their heads that Renovo was not a good place for the show to stop at. They were ably seconded by a few slimy eels of this place, who got in their \york by direct correspondence and innuendo. The consequence was the management of the Robinson circus concluded to cancel their engagement here, even though they lost several thousands of dollars by the transaction. This was done to appease and truckle to the silliness of a few likely old heifers in Renovo, at Emporium and at Kane. By not showing here their nerves wil! be spared a severe shock, unless a way ward thunder storm should arise dur ing the progress of the performance to morrow and the day after. In justice to the management of the Robinson circus it should be stated that they were ready and willing to show in Renovo They wanted to ful fill their engagement here but the ob jections from Emporium and Kane were such that if they stopped here their license in the two latter villages would be cancelled. At least this is the substance of excuse given by the Rob inson people They also added that we had people in our own midst who were fearful of having the show ap pear here at this time." The fact that several cases of small pox were removed fVom Renovo last Friday night was evidence alone that it was dangerous to attract from the sur rounding country hundreds of people and if we are rightly ir ormed a large portion of Renovo citi; ens were not in favor of allowing the circus to stop there, even if they had shown a dis position to do so, which they did not. As far as we can learn, no Emporium ofl}clal notified the management of the circus not to stop at Renovo, threaten ing to revoke their license. Renovo should clean up their town, use a little paint and whitewash -some thing the town stands sorely in need of—-and possibly, after a time, some second-class circus or Uncle Tom troupe might be induced to stop at our suburban town. Don't take it too hard, neighbor. The fact that you missed a holiday may be a blessing in disguise. The disgraceful language used by the News in venting its disappointed spleen on the fair names of Emporium and Kane cannot be accounted for, except that the old green-eyed monster—jeal ously—got the better of their judge ment.

The Sale of Hire Arms. Editor Press: The time of year is now at hand to look out for the toy cannon and the cheap revolver, as the ever glorious Fourth of July is soon at hand, and all Young America wants to cele brate by making all the noise possible, and for some reason their minds all run to thecheaprevolverand cannon. These they can easily buy ac any store at this time of the year, and there is nothing to hinder any "kid" with the price, from buying guns and ammuni tion. I think there should be some change made in the laws regarding the buying, owning, carrying of revolvers, or all other weapons having a barrel shorter than sixteen inches. As the law now stands "tramps, toughs, and outlaws," are the only people that can carry a short gun, or revolver, as law abiding citizens respect the law in re fard to carrying concealed* weapons. his is illustrated by the following si
