We are sorry to learn that, a sister of our
esteemed friend eo. W. Veager, of Altoona,
was, if reorts le true, one of the many who
lost their lives daring the terrible scenes en
acted in Pittsburgh on Saturday last, and
also that Jacob!',. DeArmit, so"n of Alex.
OeArmit, formerly of Hollidaysburg, and
nephew of Col. Win. K. Piper, was killed on
the same occasion. Both were mere specta

by the soldiers.
The Pa. II. 11. Co. has reren.ly put an
observation car on the Mountain l)ivisiuti
for the purpose of nfV.-rditig passengers an
opportunity to view the wild and romantic
scenery lietween Altoona and Conemaugh.
The car is made with open side.-, after the
style of some of the street cars in vogue in
many of the cities, and is furnished with
large cushioned arm chairs. Tin: idea is a
good one and .veil worthy the commendation
of the traveling public.
Mr. C. F. O'Oonnell, Democratic candi

a few days ago to fracture a Imuic or two in
his right ank!e and sprain bis right foot,
tjuite severely while in the act of getting off
a fence near Loretto, and as a result, of the

just now to employ a pair of crutches to aid
him in life's weary pilgrimage. Still be has
no fears but. what, he will in: all right for a

A few days ago a young man named
James M. C. Swope, of Baire Forge, Hunt

Brower at Bloomsbnrg and testified that lie
witnessed the murder of the man A brain
Brewer, who was supposed to have Is-eti ac
cidentally drowned in thi canal at that
place four year ago. Swope gave the name
of a lioattnan who, he saM, had struck the
deceased with a spike, and that lie fell into
the canal and was drowned.
.Tames McCullotigh, of Altoona, helped
himself to a horse belonging to Mr. David
K. I'amev, of that city, altout 12 o'clock on
Thursday night last, ami then proceeded to
the stable of S. M. Woodkok, Esq., where
he confiscated a set of harness and a phaeton,
with which he drove aliout the cily for two
or three hours, and then lit. out in thisdirec
tion, but was overtaken by a telegram and
arrested at Sumtnitville, though he subse
quently managed to make his escape.
The Lilly Cornet Band, which by the
way is making lapid progress and will soon
be one of the lxt musical organizations in
the county, design holding a grand harvest
home picnic in a fine grove near Lilly's sta

and as they promise their ttest efforts for the
entertainmiMit and enjoyment of all who fa
vor them with their presence, and as the
object is to secure the necessary funds to en
able them to complete their musical studies,
we hope they will lie well patronized.
A man named Murphy, living near
Pennsylvania Furnace, in Huntingdon coun
ty, attempted to rapture a couple of cub
bears the other day, but. the juvenile bruins
scooted up a tree, and when Mr. Murphy
tried to dislodge them by pelting them with
stones they raised an outcry which brought
the mother bear to the scene, when she turn
ed the tables on the would-be captor of her
offspring by rhasing him down the moun
tain, causing him to lose a pair of shoes and
a bundle In his flight, and finally compelling
him to climb a tree for safety.
The Pittsburgh Vommervial Gcz-tte of
Tuesday last does injustice, no doubt unin
tentionally, to the Cambria Guard of this
place when it says that I hey were ordered to
the Gallilzin tunnel, where trouble was said
to le apprehended, but "refused to assemble
on the plea that they had not Wen sworn
into the service of the State." The com
pany in question has held itself in readiness
since Sunday last to march at a moments
notice, and the fact that it has not Wen or
dered to jGallitz.in or elsewhere disposes
very effectually of the story told by our con
temporary. The private banking house or . K.

are aWut 8130.0(H), and the asets ar vari

We are sorry indeed to learn Inat the
able and efficient local editor of the Johns
town Tribune, C. W. Easly, Esq., had tliR
misfortune to W thrown from a spring wagotl
on Tuesday evening last, while on his wav
to Scalp Level on a fronting excursion, anil
that his right arm was fractured at. the
shoulder ami other painful injuries inflicted.
The accident was caused by the upsetting of
a movable seat occupied by Mr. Easly and a
gentleman named W. C. Murphy, the latter
of whom also fell out of the vehicle and had
one of his wrists badly shattered and receiv
ed a few other contusions of a less serious na
ture. A new advertising agency, of which J."
U. Duibonow, of the Hunt in'gdon Journal,
is the master spirit, has just been established
at 705 Sansom street. Philadelphia, and as
Mr. I). knows what it. is to lie without a re
presentative in that, city who thinks it worth
wliiie to push things: for the r tral press of
the'middleaird western portions of theState,
and as he has associated with him a gentle
man of large experience in the business, we
have no doubt that an aching void long felt
will now W filled to the entire satisfaction
Ot all concerned. May the new enterprise
prove a big thing in every desirable sense of
the term.
A large nail supporting a hanging lamp
in Mr. Joseph Gntwald'a mer-t market, in
the basement of the Blair House in this
place, Wcame heated to such an extent, tv
few nights ago as to set fire to one of the
joists inside the plastering of the ceiling,
but owing to the fact. that, the air could not
reach it, the fire smouldered slowly until
the following morning, when it was discov
ered ami extinguished, after having burned
ami charred the j'?sf very considerably. To
the fact lhat the air was totally excluded from
the fire by the plastering must. W attributed
the escape of the lio'cl and probably other
adjacent buildings from destruction.
Arrangements have been made with
the various railroad lines leading to and

greatly reduced rates of all mem tiers of the
State Teachers' Association who wish to at

7th, and remain in session for several davs.
Tickets will W sold from the 3d to the 8th,
and will W giod for return irip until the
14th of August, but in order to obtain them,
and also to secure hotel accommodations at
reduced rates, it is necessary to cm-lose one

Altoona and Johnstown were Wth in a
state of ferment for a day or two on account
of the great railroad strike, but apart from
the fact that the Company's employes in the
former place took peaceable possession for
the time Wing of the road and its equip
ments, stopped soldier trains, shut up the
railroad shops, and did a few other things
out of the regular order, and that aWut fif
teen hundred mill men and other citizens
assembled on Saturday evening near the iron
bridge and railroad station at. the latter
place, some of whom indulged in loud tark
about tearing down the bridge, no damage
was done if we except the fact that a rail
road watchman at, the curve opposite Cone
maugh Wrough was knocked down and had
his lamp broken.

How an entrance was effected remains a

engineers sounded the Sitrtlal ol dantrer and ap
plied the air brakes f the passengers jumped
from their seats In terror, for the coming train
could be plainly seen on account of the curve.
There was a brief moment. of suspense as tho
sentient jrinnts rushed onward each to the
other a moment which seemed an ajre, and
then a friuhtful crash, astidden stop.a jarring
and trciiit:n jr of the trains from t-nd to cud.
and it-was o er.
THE FEARFUL WREtlt.
The engines came together with frhrhtful
force, and, as an eye witness, an old tanner
who was working- in a field t.ear by, says they
seemed to leap in the air and embrace eutn
other. A cloud of flyintr f iiitrmeuts, dust and
smoke then obscured the iron horses, and when
it cleared they were found Ij iiiMT on each side
of the track, an incx tinguishuble mass of ruins,
piled hiirh up, while three or lour or the cars
lay in the bed of the old canal a heap of splin
ters and broken iron. To no one who has not
seen it can an adequate idea of the complete
ness of the wreck tie given. The two engines
resem tile nothing under the heavens but huge
masses of scrap iron, piled up in inextricable
contusion. Two of the cars are broken up so
that there is sMrcely a square foot of the tim
bers remaining whole ; iu l act, they are literally
a mass ol splinters, fit only for kindling wood.
From t he appearance of the engines and ears
destroyed, the only wonder is that any portion
of the train escaped a like fate.
THE KII.I.F.O AND WOL'NOEn.
As soon a the officers and passengers of the
trirtn realized what had occurred a search was
instituted for those who might bu killed or
wounded. It took tint a minute or two to as
certain that the terrible accident had not been
unattended by more terrible dentlis. In the
niiilst ol the wreck and ruin were shortly found
the bodies of five persons from out ol which
the spirit of life had Hed t the moment the
frightful crash occurred. These were as speed
ily as possible extracted from the wreck and
laid out on thetrreen sward, when it was asccr
lamed that their names were as follows:
Jacob Foil, pilot engineer of the Philadelphia
Ejipte.-s. He resided at lilait'svilte, and leaves
a wile and two children.

one from New Jersey, two from New Vork. and
two from I'oiinsy l Minn. The early cmigr.-ints !
and defenders of 'le.vas were splendid samples
of men. They were hospitable, inarnauimous,
and lion-hearted, and it is greatly in l.e regret
ted that sketches of many of them have not
been written to preserve their momm ies from
oblivion. If all had been written, in truthful,
animated language, of all the insianci-s of ex
alted patriotism and cndurir.g viri m-, of indi
vidual prowess and personal courage, and of
resolute resistance and unsparing revenge, the
recitals would read like the wild and wonder

the

perilled and sacrificed their lives on thenltar

whom would be read with thrilling interest. A

of Johnston's Mill, on the foyallninna, in West

ousin that memorable struggle, but 1 cannot

The writer of the aWve, now and for sev

Two little daughters of Mr. Joel Stone,
of Boggs township, Clearfield county, were
sent to a neighlsir's house not long since to
summon him to the Wdnide of their father,
who was at the time in a dying condition,
ami after reaching their destination and
making known their errand, W'hich was
responded to without delay by the neighbor,
Mr. Woolsencrofi, one of the little girls ask
ed a son of the latter, in tin; absence of hia
father, for a drink of water, which he de
clined at rirsf to bring from the spring, there
Wing none in the house at the time, but
finally started for a bucketful, though not
until he had expressed his determination
not. to let the little girl have any of it.
While he was absent, at the spring the of
fended Miss went into the house and eot a
loaded pun which was standing Whiml the
door, and bringing it out and laying it across
a stump, threatened to shoo the lad it he
did not give her a drink. The latter mean
time approached the house in a zigfcag way,
In order to avoid the range of the weapon,
but when he got. within a few yards of the,
stump the foolhardy girl discharged the
piece, the contents of which entered young
Wolsencroft's alidomen. about midway be
tween the navel and the groin, causing 1eath
iu less than half an hour, Mr. Stone, the
father or the girl, died the same day, and
a joint funeral and a very excited neighbor

in Boggs tow nship next day. The girl who
did the shooting is aged about eleven years,
and the unfortunate victim of the sad affair
was less than ten years old.

Ttt? following from the current issue of
the Hollidaysburg Vtawhird meets our views
j exactly ;
Judge Hall, of Bedford, has filed his opinion
In the Oreevy case. He asserts that the Al
toona Ulotir article wns entirely and malicious
ly false, and that Mr. Greevy in writing it at
tempted to slab Justice in her own sanctuary.
He holds that it is within the province of the
Court to strike Greevy's name from the roll,
but in lew of all the circu mstances, and possi
bly iwith a wise forethought for the future,
magnanimously chose to temper justice with
mercy. We cannot see this matter through
Judge Hall's spectacles. The burden of his
opinion is an grraiKiiinent of the Cessnas, and
we cannot for the life of us see why they wre
' not brought bt fore the Court instead of ( reevy.
j If they are guilty of tho charge preferred
i against them they should not be permitted to
j escape. And we consider it dastardly coward
j ice to try them overt lie choltiders of a third
party. Is anybody iu Bedford afraid of the

DfaH Frp-.KM A n -The 4th day of July, 177.
the first jmt;i ci sary nf a new ce-itury or rrec
diun and ilidt Pcndoncc, now twst and gone,
was, it occurred to me, a fitting occasion upon
which to frame S new "Decl-traMmi of Inde
pendence." and here is the rrsult : I hold these
truths tn ! self-evident, th.it all men are tint
created equal th-.it nil men are not created at
all, but grow up from littleb.nblr-s-lh.it when
they grow they are not equal no two men are
equal; some are large, some small some ate
long, some short some are good, some bud
some aie black, iomo w hit e some are old. Si due
young some are smart, some dull some are
educated, some Ignorant some ore merciful.
Some cruel some sane, some insane some an
shrewd, some grein some aro great catets,
some are dyspeptics so ne srt fat, some lean
som are honest. s roo dishonest some are
win de-son led. some I alf tided ami so on from
Alpha to Omega. Men are not iqual. Again,
though men have right?, thc.v have no IiihIh ti
ab!e rights. A man can alienate his ifr. his W
erty and hfs 'iiu'ir". Men do alu-nalf 'heir
Pvcs every day, their liberty every hour, and
their haTU'lneis every minute. It is. therefore
folly to say thut men have Inalienable rights,
so long as our laws fill jails ant! penitentiari s
and supply scaffold with criminals. D will be
seen from' this that the old declaration is para
doxical and mythical. The truth Is. therearc
leading races of men, and the white race being
the progressive race in the I 'nitcd !Mnt- ought
of right be the dominant race, ttnc might as
well argue that the mmil;i ! should have the
right to vote and hold office as that the unlet
tered negro, Indian, or Chinaman should vote
and hold ollicc. It is wrong to entrust the des
tinies of this great nation to savages and bar
barians. Intelligent people shou Id gncrn in
telligent nations, and Ignorance should hide
her head in shame. I, therefore, in the nmte
of Liberty and by the authority Invested Inmr,
do hereby declare the white mce, or tin- intel
ligent portion then-of. toget her with the intel
ligent portion of all other races, to be the right
ful rulers of this land; and as there are one
hundred intelligent whites to one Intelligent
person of any other race, the wliiti'S an- and of
right ought to be the lr?e, independent and
dominant race.
Notwithstanding-nil this. California is In slntn
lto. No rain, no crops, no feed, no fruit, no
honey, and no nothing. The southern half of
the State is as dry and as warm as the hearth of j
a cooking stove, and "there nr.-no stacks where ,
the stacks ought to be." W bile the balance r '
the count ry is cither deluged with r.iin or con- !
sumed with tires, we are in the happy medium,
having neit lu-r tires or Moods. Not hing to burn
flhd no water to put that nothing out.
We have Struck oil in California, which, with
the mines, may save us from bankruptcy. There ;
are sevcml oii wells on the southern const and '
many more are being put down, so that in it few ;
years we may rival even Clarion county In yir
State. The oil Is of the !n-st quality, too. The
internal fires of firm fit ma must be getting
pretty well op to the suiface, to melt so much
oil. Better look out in time for a suit of nsirs- j
but. 1 don't care tor myself, as I would sssoon
be cremated as die any other way, but I think i
I should lie awfully concerned about the rest j
of mankind if the world was to burn up. What I
I would lotTcIt for myself wtntl l tic a trine, tmt
lhat others should suffer would wound me to
the heart. Yours, truly, Hon Kor.

a large and spirited meeting of the citizens of

Esq., of (Jlen Council, to the chair, and select
ing Michael Thomas and A. Anna, K-.is.. as
Vice Presidents, and Messrs. John ("ml aud
Philip Miller as Secret a rh-s. Dr. Noomin. of
;ien Council, wns then called upon tustatethe
object ol the meeting, which he did tn a t-appy
and lorcible manner. After the close of hi
remarks, the President wtt loudly called for
and responded in a speech of some length, iu
which he showed the good results likely to ac
crue to the citiaonsnn laith side ot Clu-st crfk
by the division or the townsnip with the tied
of said stream a the dividing line. Speeches
were also made by Messrs. Peter Heltrn k and
Adam lieidon, who entertained the meeting tor
some time in an earnest rniviKucj of the pro
ject in hand. A ommittee was then appointed,
consisting of .Messrs. Thomas Ott and John
(illl, to prepare a petition to be signed by the
citizens of Hie township and pn seined lor con
sideration at the September term of Court,
and also to attend to such other matters in con
nection therewith as may tie deemed necessary.
Several names were suggested for the new
township, to wit: Eider, Bru baker, St. U
rence and St. Botiilate. but the sense of the
meeting seemed to tie in favor of the one hist
above mentioned. After a tew remarks trout
Esq. Gill the meeting adjourned.
If not too late I would like to say a few wonts
Shout the celebration of the Ioi-ioii Kouith,
which, so far as ihis vicinity was eoticertn-d,
passed off peaceably, pleasantly nn t to the sat
isfaction of nil our people. The young !! Is
gave timely notice to all their ft tends tar n.i
near that a grand hop would take place at Hie
hotel formerly kept by Mr. Ib-li i n k, and by I
o'cliM.-k, p. m people Irian all quai icis, old as
well as young, had gathered at the hotel of Mr.
Thomas Ott, where it sumptuous dinner was
servtd up by the estimable hostess. Ample Jus-
t 'ce was done to the tine spread, ai ter wi.icu an
the participants rcpairea lonieonii room nuu
enjoyed themselves till the imurol lour m Hie
morning, our old fiiend "Bishop Glosser and
bis hand lurnishing the music.
As I was nlmtii closing my letter I learned of
what inixht have been a tragic ttffray between
two respectable tanners In this vicinity had
not the discreetness of one of the parties bwd
the effect of nipping the trouble in the bud.
It seems that Mr. II. went to the farm ol 51 r. I.
to buy some cherries, hut the latter, having a
grudge against his neighbor, ordered him to
leave the premises, at the same time pickii g
up a singloMree. with which he would iwcuu t
hnve felled him to theeartn bad not Mr. il.
discovered Pre In the old man's eye and come
to the very sensible .conclusion ool to tsiry
any langer or permit old Johnu's chertics to
sour on his stomach.
