Roberts, a foririer well known and much esteemed citizen of this p'ace, (iitd in Altoor.r., on Tuesday even ing last, aged about So years. His remai.is were brought to Lhi.- place and intned in the Congregational cemetery yesterday af teruoon. A four year old child of Mr. John l)et wiler, of Williamsburg, IJiair county, set its clothes on tire with a lighted stick, dur ing the absence of its mother, on Friday la-t, and was so shockingly burned that it died in a few hours after. Parents, take warning. The Johnstown Daily Mountain Voice, notwithstanding its recent denial of a re port to that effect, suspended on Thursday of last week, and now all that remains of it, if indeed there are anv remains, is in a very weekly condition. And still the Fret' man ain't sold. Don't forget to attend Hon. Daniel Dougherty's lecture atthe Court House ou " wdnesday evening next. We predict that it wili be one of the finest forensic efforts ever listened to in this place, and no one who has the ability to appreciate such a rare treat should fail to attend. We saw no less than six tharp shoot ers, each with agun on his shoulder, march ing .solemnly out of town in solid phalanx yesterday morning.and as nothing has been heard of them up to the time of going to press, the presumption is that they have taken the nmd pike en route for Cuba. . A. correspondent wiitir.g to the Her ald from Wibnore tells about a "sociable" held in that place, a few nights ago. which did not break up until "morn was fast ap proaching," and then says that the partic ipants dispersed to their homes well pleased with the pleasmcsof the ereninff." rintou Lyon, a school teacher at Cokevn.e, West moi eland county, was struck by the local freight, on Saturday evenino last, and although his external injuries are only a bioken arm aud a badly cut head it is feared that he has been injured inter nally to such an extent that he cannot re cover. W -earn that another member of the Me oy family, recently of Allegheny town ship, but whoaie now, what is left of them, residing in Gallitziu towiikhip, died a few days ago from an attack of diptheria, making the eighth in that household that has fal.en a victim to that terrible disease in less than six weeks. Xotwitlrstauding the striugencv in the money market, there is apparently no dim inution in tlie crowd of buyers at Mvera JLiloyds cheap cash store, which has won and -is fully determined to maintain, in nam tunes as well as good, a reputation lor selling the very best goods of every de scription at the lowest cash rates which houcst dealers can afford to accept. - Mr. David Powell, an old and well know n citizen of Cambria township, died on Tuesday qyening last, aged about 2 years. The immediate cause of his death is attributed to injuries sustained" in a fall received by him some lime ago, in which several of his ribs were said to have been brofcen. Mr. Powell was one of the wealth iest men in this section. While Mrs. Kearnswasat Morri.sdale, Clarfield county, on the night of tlie 11th inst., having in charge the dead hotly of her huhband, who bad been killed the day previous, some unsanctificd scoundrel en tered her house at Kylerville and carried away about fifteen bushels of coin, from six to eight bushels of potatoes, and sev eral bottles of homemade wine. The people of Cambria county, w ith out distinction. of party, arc requested to meet at the Court, House in Lbcnsburg, on Tuesday next, Dec. 2d, and also ou Tuesday, Dec. 1), to give expression to their views in reference to the adoption or rejection of the new Constitution on the lCth day of. December. Those opposed to as well as those in farorof itsadoptiou are earnestly invited. We regret to learn that our venerable and rtsp-ectud townsman, Mr. Peter Col lins, sr., had the misfortune, on Monday last, to blip and fall 011 the steps leading from the rear porch of his residence, there by sustaining injuries of the back aud oth erwise which may, considering hisextreme age, prove even more serious than those received by him in a similar manner a year or so ago, if indeed they do not tend to hasten his death. A man named Henry Cooper, sup posed to be under the influence of liquor, was stiuck by the engine of a western bound freight traiu, about one mile east of Conemaugh, on Tuesday eveuing last, arid knocked into the river, from which he was rescued, by some xrsoiis who witnessed the mishap, just in time to save him from drowning. As it is, his injuries are of a very severe character, though hopes are entertained of his recovery. Messi-s. S. J. Hess & Rro.," of 241 and 243 Main street, Johnstown, have ju?t shelved another new and elegant stock of fall and whiter clothing, and, as is their custom, have now tlie most fashionable, best made and cheapest stock to be found anywhere. The Messrs. Hess can boast as large a trade a any clothing dealer in Cambria county, and having earned it by good goods and honest prices, they cer tainly deserve to enjoy it. Go and see their big stock. A young man named Wm. Shree, em ployed as engineer at tlie Woodvale tan nery, chucked a suit of clothing belonging lo Mr. C. A. Rosensteel into the fly-wheel pit, on Monday morning last, from which receptacle he was in tlie act of withdraw ing the "duds" about one o'clock next morning, when he was uabbed by oflicer Han is, w ho had been detailed to watch his movements, the suspicion lieing that be was the thief. He has been held iu ?S00 bonds for his appeal auce at Court to answer. Times are hard, no doubt, but there is as much money in the country as there ever was, and those who have it stand iu ' their own light when they fail to invest it j in the necessaries of life t a tune, like the i present, when prices hive reached the bottom figures. Think of this and act ! upon it by going at on 00 to J. T. Coppock's : popular mait, iu the Ojera House, Johns- ' town, who has goods that will meet all , wants, which he is now selling ai the pantckiest kind of pi iocs. It is r.nfoi tuitately true, as Messrs. Wanamaker & Hrown so pertinently re mark in their mammoth ad verti-.eiV.ent, that "men's wear," and oven "boys' wear," but those men and the boys who rig themselves out in the elegant clothing sold so cheap at the renowned Oak Hall. S:"th and Market streets, Philadelphia, will never have any reason, we are suie. to swear about either the style, tiie texture, the make, or the price of the apparel so purchased. That's what's the matter. Mayor Kinch, of Altoona, while on a business visit to Ebensburg, Wednesday, called in to see us ; and nnv we are some what in doubt as to whether w e should felicitate the Mayor or ourself on the fact that it was the first time we have, ever came together with a knowledge of each other's identity. Still we suppose the glory belong- to us, considering the line opening there is for an introduction to the Mayor in his official capacity at any time one may be disponed to kick up a little bobbery iu the mountain city. .lames Retidon, front brakeman on the first fast freight, was instantly killed at East Cov.en.aiigh, on Thursday evening of last week, by being stiuck, knocked down and run over by two freight caisand one wheel cf an engine tank. Ho was standing near one of tho ,ide tracks at the time, aud was struck by the froot car and thrown across one of the rails, with the re sult stated. The unfortunate man was a resident of Altoona, where he was only re cently married. The coi-oner's inquest ex onerated the train men from all blame. A match game of billiards, to deter mine the chttmpionship of Johnstown, was played yesteiday (Thursday) afternoon be tween four young men of that place. How the contest ended is tif course unknown to us ai, present writing; still we aie not afraid to say that we have a young man in our employ who will, for a reasonable con sideration and all expenses paid", go to Johnstown and beat the championon a carom table so badly that he won't know what ails him failing in which he will pay his own expenses and ask nothing for his services. Who accepts the challenge ? A terrible accident occurred at Derrr Station, on Monday afternoon hu-t. Johnny Smith, a boy between fifteen and sixteen years of age, was engaged in holding a fractious horse, near the railroad track, when an engine, in backing down, fright ened the horse and caused it to rear "and plunge in a fearful manner. Tho boy still clung tenaciously to the bridle. In some manner or other the horse full on the little fellow, breaking ljis back, his jaw in two places, and his hip, besides giving him some very severe internal injuriesT from whicli he died soon after. We hope that the rural pedagogues now in attendance at the Teachers' Insti tute in Johnstown will come home with their heads crammed full of useful knowl edge and their bodies comfortably encased in bran new suits of staunch wiuter cloth ing from 1)10 famous Star Clothing Hall of James J. Murphy, 10'J Clinton street, and that all their noighbois, s?cing how hand some and happy they look iu their new toggeries, will betake themselves forth, with to the same clever dealer and o-et themselves fitted out from head to footTin the best wearing appariel at tlie lowest prices that can be scared uu anvwheio 1 So mote it be. The editor of the Curwonsvllle Titnet, who recently paid a visit to Cherry Tree says among other things that tho town del rived its name from a legend of ye ldeu U'-1-': wbi?h ,un hat in this wise: Y ilham Penn, in his treaty with the Indi ans, agreed to meet the chiefs of a certain tnbe at this point. Penn met the chiefs, and it happened that a huge cherry tree was the place selected under whose protect ing branches the treaty was made. The cherry tree was allowed to be washed away by the encroachments of tberiver.aud iKHu.ng now remain to remind Cue why the town w-a named Cherry Tree.
