We are sorry to learn of the death tn Pit tslmrgli, on Wednesday morning last, of Miss Ni m. Hebron, a young lady who for several years past had been a visitor to our town and during the past summer had been an invalid at the residence of Mr. Jas. Ti. Zahin in this place, from whence she was re moved to her home in Pittsburgh only two days liefore her death. Miss Hebron was a most amiabie, estimable, and Intelligent young lady, and as a teacher in one of the public school of Pittsburgh stood deserved ly high. She was a niece of .Tames Shan non. Ki., a former citizen of .Johnstown, ami was reared in his family. Her disease w as consumption and her age aliout 3.T years. Peace to her ashes. V. A. Storm, Ksq., of Tyirrtto, has been duly empowered by Mr. P. Sheehan, of New V'ork, general agent for the renowned Na tional Steamship Line, to ncll ticket from Queenstown, I,iveroii and Iondon to New York, and rice mint, at the very lowest cash rates, thus affording an excellent opportunity for all persons in this region who have friends to bring out from the old country, or who desire to visit Kurojv, to secure tickets at home at the same price at which they could Ik? purchased in New York or else where. Steamers by this line sail to and from New York and Iiverpool every Satur day, and to and from New York and Lon don every other week. 8-17.-31. Although he Is a modest man and has no hankering after )ersou.il plaudits, we cannot refrain from saying that Mr. Charles Stow, general agent and editor for p. T. Itanium's Great TravcIingAVorld's Fair, is every inch a gentleman genial, generous, energetic ami entertaining, as men in all pursuits of life yhould le. Mr. Stow was at one time editor of the (iirard ( Pa.) Co-tiop-vlite, one of the leading journals of the com monwealth, ami as a writer of prose and po etry has but few equals in the profession. He fells us that he lias traveled all over Ohio, ami says that if Allen is not elected liy fully :0,OiiO majority, he is willing to ad mit that as a MiliticaI prophet be does not pan out worth a cent. In the village of Covoile, Indiana coun ty, a scandal case has recently lieen brought to light, or M-rhapa we should say that a light was brought to the scandal case. He that as it may, it apjx-arsthat a man named Mi-l'owan iiaii occasion to visit the lorough of Indiana one day last week, where lie suc ceeded in transacting his business sooner than he expected, i n reaching home the same night he concluded to slip quietly to his led-t handier and avoid disturbing his wife, bur immediately after entering the domicil he heard voices in the room occupied by hci. There was no light liurnin-', so be at once procured a lamp and proceeded to make an investigation, when he. found a Jefferson county man named Kremkaw sit ting on tin- lied. A scene etisned, and the final upshot of the niatterwasth.it Mrs. Mc Cowan went home to her parents in Tennes see, frmn whence it is fair to presume that she will not lie in any great hurry to return. To the noble friends who workt.-d so earnestly In-fore and during the late conven tion for our success, we return our earnest, heartfelt thanks, and while life lasts shall never forget that we owe them a debt of gratitude vthkh it will ti our pleasure to repay at any time with interes. To those disa pjMiiiited candidates who charge us with their misfortunes, wo can only say that .we deny the "soft impeachment," and point to the result, as an evidence that our withdraw al would not nor could not have aided them to accomplish their purpose. More than that, we deny that we endeavored to in fluence; any delegate, directly or indirectly, tor of against any other aspirant, ami ran say in all candor that we did nothing of which any honest man would need to lie ashamed. A mthttrly act at. the proper time would have scfitrvl our nomination, if we a e not very much mistaken, but we do not. Iielieve there was a sensible man in the con vention who will say to-day that we could have done that much for any other man who was named for the position. A N'ATfKAl, ('rRtosiTV. Sometime ago a friend residing in Somerset county de-scril-d to the reporter of the dohnstown Tribune, a remarkable tree, or more proiier ly, six trees, growing near Continence, in that con nt v. A letter-writer who has re cently visited the spot and examined it care fully, gives the following accurate descrip tion of this curious freak of nature. It stands near the bankof tlieCasselmaii river, and is a poplar from which six trees grow out of a single trunk. For aliout six feet from the ground the six trees have a common trunk, or rather root, as it seems as if all of them in the inclosed space hail united solid ly, and had grown lip out of the ground car rying the earth aliove them up along to the height named. This root-trunk is fifty-five f-et in circumference, and the oplars, when they assert their individuality, are each two feet in diameter. Hut now an extremely curious feature of this freak of nature pre sents itself to the astonished beholder. Upon cliintiing up on the top of thecommoii trunk it is found that, these poplars must have leen planted around a child's grave. The inclosed spai-e is alut four feet long, and the green grass is growing in the earth there. At one end is a great stone with an inscription on if, which, however, cannot lie deciphered, as it is so worn by time. A part of it is broken off by the wear and tear of time, al'hough it would be thought that those sturdy Hplars would le able to pro tect this small charge of theirs. No one knows by whom or when this qncer grave was made. P. T. P.ARNt:.M'S f i RE AT TRAVF.T.IXO Viti,D's Faik. The most notable event In the amusement annals of Klwnsbttrg will lie the flrst visit of P. T. Ilarnnm's gigantic combination of diverse exhibitions, which is to pilch its teeming acres of tents here on Tuesdav, Oct Rth. So much has already been said and admitted regarding the pre eminent superiority, size and extraordinary character of this veritable traveling World's Fair, that lit lie need l editorially added to Insure the largest congregation of people ever known In this section. The avalanche oi concurrent testimony as to the indescrib able proportions and attractiveness of Har tinm's crowning achievement Is simply irre sistible and that it presents many times more of everything worth seeing than was ever liefore collected in a traveling exhibi tion. Is equally known. And so it Is no wonder that with Its innumerable features of instruction ami amusement, and its host of superb aientic celebrities, It t-verywhere finds its vast accommodations thoroughly tested by countless throngs of eager specta tors. Strict rK. Twenty-five or thirty years ago, Robert Hcwitteaineto the Allegheny moun tain and made himself a home on the summit about midway between Fallen Timber, in Cambria county, and the present site of Al toona. Since that time until a few years ago lie labored Industriously in clearing a lare farm, when he employed a tenant to take charge of it, and having no family of his own, made his home with the employe. The course of his life was pleasant and pros perous, Isolated as he was from the cares of the bustling world, bnt, from some unknown cause, he left the house on last Wednesday morning on pretextof going out to hunt, and was found dead in the evening, having com mitted suicide bv shooting himself through, the heart, after deliberate preparation. A paper was found in which he had given written directions to search his trunk, when it was discovered he had willed his property to the tenant with whom he had leen living. His remains were interred near Fallen Timber.- Oseetl Kri niilc Democratic Coi'ifTTCoNVEsTtOJt.

Aliout noon yesterday the body of Frederick Decker, of the Third Ward, was found susjiended by a clothes-line from the rafters of the domicil which be Lad for some titr.e occupied. His lxnly was not yet cold when cut down, ami he is supposed to have committed the deed sometime yesterday torenoon. His toes ' were resting upon the floor when found. He had evidently mounted on a stool, ami, j aflr fastening the roe around his neck, i kicked the stool from under him, thus leav- ing him suspended. He had hung for some time, and was la-jond all hope of res us- j citation when cut down by Judge Gagcby. j A jury was summoned by the Coroner, cm- sisting of the following named persons:! R. B. Gageby, Thomas Herrog, Casper P.urgrafV, Maurice McNatnara, Charles Zim- j merman, jr., and August Myers. Several . witnesses were called to testify in regard to j the matter, and th jurv found no difficulty i in agreeing ujmh a verdict of suicide. Mr. Henry Zimmerman stated that he saw Mr. j Dec ker on Saturday last, when the latter stated to him that he was in serious trouble. When interrogated further, he said that Mr. Kast's little girl had lieen in the habit of playing in bis shop, and that some days pre vious Mr. Kast had charged him with taking improper lilierties with the child. Mr. Zim merman then detailed the circumstances at tending the find ing of the Isaly. Mr. Charles Kast. was called, and testified that, his little girl hail told him a story that had induced him to think that Decker had acted in an improper manner with the child, and that, he had told In-cker that, if he did not. leave town, he would prosecute him. Deokcr, he said, had .protested bis innocence. Some other statements, tending to throw odium on the character of the dead man, were made bv this witness; but diligent inquiry seems to indicate that, there was little or no foun dation for them. Those of our citizens who knew deceased lest are unanimous in the. lielief that the charge must have grown out. of some inisniiderstanding on the part of the child. The deceased was a native of Alsace, and came to tins country over twenty years ago. He is said to have la-en a political refugee. He came first to New York, thence to Patter son, N. J. From there he weuf to Williams port, P.v., where he resided some time. He also traveled for a year with an Indian show as a musician. After he abandoned that mode of life he settled at Snmmerhill, in this county ; and finally Unrated in Johnstown, where he followed the business of cleaning, scouring, and repairing clothing, making nans, etc. He had resided in Johnstown for four or five years, and has always heretofore leen regarded as a qniet, harmless old man. He was a man of good education, a fine mu sician, and bad evidently seen better days. Latterly he was considerably addicted to drink, and bad often spoken of committing suicide. He did not Iielieve in the immor tality of the soul, and hence looked npon self-ilest ruction as a proper way to escape the troubles of life. His age was about sixty-two years. Juhnxtotrn T ri&wie, 20(A. a Heat and Sickness. During the hot, and sultry weather an nnnsnal amount of sickness prevails in every .community es pecially among females and children, caused by the fermenting miasma gas or nitrogen ous matter floating in the air, arising from decaying vegetation. This bad air affects everything we eat, and engenders in it a serai-fermentation which when taken in the system Is lik5 leaven, and operates on the whole; starting in the bowels and soon pro ducing a violent fermentation, cansing diar rhea and dissentery. It has heen found that the use of Speer's old Port Grape Wine of New Jersey Las an extraordinary effect in checking this fermentation and restoring the svstem 4 its original strength and vigor, and when used in time it prevents these complaints altogether. Invalids and debili tated persons have found it the most nntri cious and strengthening tonic in the mar ket, and the greatest help in resisting the poisonous effects of the filiated atmosphere. This wine so long established has become the standard wine upon which physicians relvaslhe most rich in body and genuine in character containing the greatest amount of medicinal properties with the least intox icating qualities. Speer's vineyards prom ises alarirer vield this year than usual, and he has reduced the price of his wine that j any one can now purchase it of druggists for 91 per bottle. JNop.e oi tnis wine is uoiueo. until it is four years old. Gazette. Messrs.
