to the law to settle controversies between
neighbors we trust that onr young friend

A few dollars well spent brings joy and

We intended to a-itiaize our readers this
week with an original pun about Samuel B.
Corn, of Altoona, having acknowledged the
com in the U. S. District Court, Pittsburgh,
on Monday last, that he -was bankrupt in
the sum of $12,000 and was totally devoid o(
assets, but the wind has been completely
taken out of our sails by the Morning Tri
bune, which not only knocks all the kernals
orl of that cob, but has the hardihood to say
that Thomas-. Frow, of Clearfield county,
rwo-ed himself on the bankrupt wheel to
the tune of S15,l)n'J, ami with no assets worm
mentioning.
Mr. E. J. Mills complains of an injustice
unintentionally did bim iu our last Issue by
giving currency to tho rumor that his. lia

as he asserts, that he has more than suffi

perty to pay all he owes. Wo are glad to
learn this, and not only hope it may prove
true, but sincerly trust that .Mr. Mills, who
lias long been known as an houoraWe and
public-spirited ci'-izen, may soon succeed in
overcoming ad his financial difficulties anil
taking his place once more among the suc
cessful bnsiness men of this community.
A. twelve or fourteeti-y ear-old son of Mr.
Edward Griffith, who resides in Cambria
township, aloot three miles north of this
place, was thrown from a horse which he
was riding ta water about five o'clock on
last Saturday afternoon, and becoming en
tangled iu the gears was dragged a consid
erable distance and pretty badly bruised,
about the head and body, though he fortu
nately escaped without having any of his
bone broken, save and except that the
frontal bone of his forehead was slightly
fractured iu one or two places. The lad was
unconscious for some time after the accident,
but soonrallied and is now rapidly recover

death was indeed miraculous.
In our brief notice last week of the

day forenoon, wbeu a Requiem Mass for the
repose of her soul was celebrated previous
to the consignment of her mortal remains to
mother earth. The deceased was a dangh

Those of onr readers who have been ;
mukiiiir tiiouirirs about the prir.es awarded
at the recent entertainment in Snmmitville 1
will be interested in learning that the set of :
jewelry was won by Miss Kose Storm ana
the necklace by Miss Juliette Traigle. the
contest resulting as follows : Jewelry Miss
Kose Storm. 55 votes ; Miss Josephine Criste,
51 votes; Miss Sne McDermitt, 19 rotes;
Miss AgnesCriste, 4 votes. Necklace Miss
Juliette Traigle. 106 votes; Miss Mo! lie
I.eib, W5 votes ; Miss Julia Heidi, 4 votes.
In this connection we have le-n requested
to state that owing to the absence from
home of Miss McDermitt when the contest
began, she did not do all she could and
would otherwise have dn to win the first
prize. Other articles there are still to be
disposed of, and when that is done the result
will be announced through the Fhezmax.
Two Sistfrs Die Vert Si'ddr.vly. A
ll rn(irkihic Cvinridrnce. On Sunday after
noon, April 21st, Mrs. Springer, wife of
Mr. Peter Springer, of Ttarr township, this
county, feeling unwell, retired to her room
and with a newspaper in hand lay down on
the bed to read and ff possib'e recuperate
her wasted energies. She was permitted to
remain undisturbed for an hour or two, after
which .a member of the family went to call
her to supper, when she was found lying on
the bed, apparently fast asleep, but a closer
examination revealed the startling fact that
her seeming slumber was the lnrig sleep of
draft. Ir. the silence of her chamber, and
without the consoling presence of a single
relative or friend to soothe her last moments,
her life had gone out, and of course the mys
tery attendant upon her dissolution will for
ever remain a secret. But apoplexy or some
kindred ailment, which does its work with
the swiftness of the lightning's Hash, is pro
bably the true explanation. .The body pre
served a singular degree of warmth and
flexibility for a day or two, but it was finally
determined to a certainty that death had
done its work, aud on the following Wednes
day forenoon what was mortal of an estima
ble woman were laid to rest in the Catholic
cemetery at St.. Nicholas.
The foregoing announcement, though sad
to a degree, contains nothing uncommon as
to death's doings. But in connection with
tho celebration of a requiem mass in the
village church for the sonl of the deceased,
just, prior to the committal of the body to its
last earthly resting place, occurred, as we
are reliably informed, an incident which
may be said to border on the confines of the
supernatural.
The coffin had been borne into the chancel
of the church, and during the progress of the
impressive services, two loud and distinct
knocks were heard in rapid succession at
the. right hand side of the altar. No one
being at the time near the point wheuce tho
sounds emanated, the knocks could not, of
course be ascribed to human agency ; but
that they were distinctly heard by all present
is said to be a fact beyond controversy. The
circumstances itself was brought prominent
ly to remembrance by the receipt of a letter
a few days later containing the sad an
nouncement of the death, in Philadelphia,
of a sister of Mrs. Springer at the precise mo
ment when the knocks were heard in the
church ! This sister, who was a religieuse
of the charity order, bad such a violent
shwk communicated to her system by the
news of the unlooked-for death of Mrs.
Springer, that her own death speadily fol
lowed in much the same unexpected man
ner. We have given these particulars with
out any attempt at enilndlishment. They
constitute a strictly accurate statement,
based on information we deem stictly re
liable, and viewed in the aggregate, furnish
food for much more than momentary reflec
tion. We offer no explanation, for the re
lationship existing between mind and mat
ter is of too subtile character for our pen to
portray. Still the whole thing should not
lie dismissed by bim wlto is wise in his own
conceit with a simple pooh-pooh ! for verily
there are stranger things, Horatio, thau
have ever been dreamt of in thy philosophy.
A Debatatu.e Question. While much
has been written concerning the use of "put
up" medicines, the question is still an open
one and demands of the people a careful con
sideration. The salient points may be briefly
stated, and answered as follows: 1st Are
the sick capable of determining their real
condition, the nature of their malady, and
selecting the proper remedy or means of core?
2d Can a physician, no matter how skillful,
prepare a universal remedy, adapted to the
peculiar ailments of a large class of people,
residing in different latitudes, and subject to
various climatic influences? In answer to
the first proposition, we would say, diseases
are named and known by certain '"signs" or
symptoms, and, as the mother does not need
a physician to tell her that her child has the
whooping-cough or indicate a remedy, so
people when afflicted with many of the
symptoms concomitant to "impure blood,"
"torpid liver," and "bad digestion," require
no other knowledge of their condition, or tho
remedy indicated, than they already possess.
Second proposition Many physicians argue
that diseases are seciioiially peculiar, and
that their treatment niu.-t therefore vary,
and yet quinine, morphine, podophylin, and
hundreds of other remedies are prescribed in
all cimvtriet to overcome certain conditions.
Is it uot, therefore, self-evident that a phy
sician whose large experience has made him
f.-.rniliar with the many phases incident to
all imiuriries of the 6001, general and nervous
dihilittj, lirer complaint, dipi psin , consump
tion, aud catarrh, can prepare series of rem
edies exactly adapted to meet the conditions
manifest, wherever, and by whatever means,
it may have been engendered ? The family
medicines prepared by R. V. Pierco, M. D.,
of Buffalo, f. Y., fulfill the above require
ments. Many physicians prescribe them iu
their practice. His Golden Medical lMscov
ery has no equal as a blood-purifver and
general tonic, while his Favorite Prescrip
tion cures those weaknesses peculiar to wo
men, after physicians have failed. His
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, which are sugar
coated and little larger than mustard seeds,
are a safe and certain cure for "torpid" liver
and constipation. If you wish to save mon
ey by avoiding doctors and keep or regain

The school directors of this county, as of
all other comities in the State, will come to
gether on Tuesday next to salect a County
Superintendent and fix his salary lor the
ensuing year, and while the task before them
is seemingly not a difficult one, the contest
may possibly prove more spirited thau is
generally anticipated. For the position
named. Prof. H. Herg, the present incum
bent, and Prof. T. J. Chapman and Mr. F.
S. Maloy, are the only aspirants in this coun
ty, and no matter upon which one of them
the mantle may fail, it will be filled to per
fection. The advantages are of course with
Mr. Berg, whose opportunities for seeing
and interviewing directors on the subject
are not only much the Itest, but when to this
is added the fact that he has made a most
etlicient, faithful and obliging officer, and
that, he has performed all the d uties pertain
ing to the position with decided advantage
to the caus and great credit to himself, it
does look as if nothing short of the rule of
rotation in office is at. all likely to interfere
with his continuance for another term at
least. Still, as we. have intimated, doubtful
things are mighty uncertain, and there is no
telling just where the lightning may strike,
though it is certain in this instance that the
educational interests of Cambria county will
r.ot suffer no matter which one of the three
gentlemen named may be fortunate enough
to secure the position.
The Republican County Committee, or a
fair proportion at least of said organization,
met at the Court House in this place, on last
Monday afternoon, and selected George M.

delegates to the State convention, the Sena

commendei the conrsu of Congressman J.
M. Campbell, including, as the l)emncrat pnta
it. his opposition to the silver bill and all
other measnres designed for the benefit of
the people. No time was fixed for tha hold
ing of the county convention, that being left
to the chairman of the committee, who is
expected if not privately instructed to trim
tho party sails so as to catch, if possible, a
favoring breeze from the national greenback
movement.

"A man named Mcl'ike would very well like to

Phtlipsburgr Journal.
Thk editor of the Ctmhrirt Freeman, IT. A.
McPike, is the democratic candidate for treas
urer of that county. As he labors raithTully
in the interests of his party, we deem it no
more than justice and gratitude that hi claims
should be recognized by his constituents.
Bedford Gazette.
McPike, of the Cambria Freeman, wants to
be County Treasurer. He deserves the place,
ought to have it, and would no doubt fret it by
unanimous consent if Andrew Strittmatter
didn't want it too. That's what's the matter.
ITIie (Jaztttt might wit h equal truth have added
tho names of nine or ten others, Jf,J
Lcwistown Sentinel.
Wf. notice that McPike. of UieCambrls Free
man, is a candidate fur County Treasurer of
Cambria county. The Democracy of that coun
ty will be very derelict if he don't get it. The
honor and emoluments could not be more
worthily bestowed. . ,
Thk Catitomc Worm). Tlie May nnm
ber of Thk Catholic World lias several
articles that command attention ; tho whole i
11 mutter is a liappy at.il skilful combination j
of brightness and strength. The opening
article on "The Future Destiny of Man" I
deals in a deep, philosophic maimer with the
qnestion of future rewards and punishments
which at present so agitates the public mind
in this country and abroad. "Prohibitory
Legislation ; its Cause, ami Effects" treats
of the attempt to enforce sobriety by law.
The article is bold, strenuous, and practical,
and takes a contrary view to that of the
Prohibitionists. "A Sectarian Diplomatic
Service" attacks in no measured terms the
whole school of American representatives
abroad for allying themselves with the anti
Catholic sects. "Tho Literary Extravagance
of tlie Day" is another aggressive article,
whose title explains its purport. These are
the most prominent articles; lint there are
others of except iouahle merit and interest :
"The A rcl.iepiscopal Palace at Uenevcn
tuni"; "German Homilies on the Gospels" ;
a very pleasing paper on "French Proverbial
Savings" ; another 011 "Respectable Poverty
in France" ; a letter from Koine describing
tlie scenes at the coronatiou of Leo XIII.,
etc., etc. That admirable story, "The Home
Rule Candidate," is brought to a close in
the present number, anil a new story of
Bavarian life this time begun. The poems
show that superior excellence which Thk
Catholic World always commands ;
nmutig them is another instalment of Dr.
Parson's scholarly and noble translation of
Dante's Pttrgatorio. The literary criticisms
are bright and keen, as they always are iu
this magazine.
Some of our exchanges run aotcZ of the
troth when they announce that Mr. Drake
of this place is one of the parties to whooa
contracts have lieen awarded by the Sealoard
pipe-line atnl telegraph company for furnish
ing felegrapti poles and for ditching and lay
ing the pipes, no gentleman of that nam
being a resident of Ebensburg. Xor is it
true, as the Altoona Mirror asserts, that our
townsman, .Mr. l.iKe, nas secured such a
contract. the fact being that he is the agent J
in this county for the reception of bids, aud
not a bidder himself for any work to tie done
for said corporation. More than this, Mr.
Lake has no knowledge of any contract hav
ing as yet lieen awarded to any person tn
this county, and if there had been he feels
confident lie would not be left in ignorance
of the fact. Of the other alleged contracts
said to have been awardeded to Messrs. Ed
ward Isett and S.imttel Milliken, of Rlair
county, and Mr. Grayson, of Shippensbnrg,
Pa., we know nothing, but are inclined to
believe that the announcement is premature.
Twenty-three cubic fee.tof sand, or eigh
teen cubic feet of earth, or seventeen cubic
feet of clay, make a ton ; but those are not
the kind of feet C. itlnmenthal, proprietor
of the Great Eastern Root and Shoe Store,
1119 Eleventh avenue, Altoona, had in his
minfl's eye when lie bought the large and
elegant stock of lioots, shoes, gaiters, slip
pers, etc., now offered for the inspection and
purchase of all who wish to avail themselves
of the opportunity. No stock so large and
complete and no prices so far below the fig
ures heretofore paid have ever tiefore lwen
seen or heard of Iu Altoona. Keep these
facts in mind and take advautage of them.

lloutzdale. or Newtown, as it is called by tho
runners in the vicinity, I will not attempt to
describe, ns I have never seen its!parallel, and
it has too much originality about it for the pen,

four miles. The general extension of the val

dale proper, and West lloutzdale. Sterling and
West Houtzdale are. resix-ctivcly, mere exten
sions of a single street csst and west, and are
each about a mile and a quarter or a uiileauda
hair in length. Houtzdale proper forms, as It
were, the main body or the town, situated on
the northern slope and giving to the plncu the
position of an army facing south. A rew build

body. A respectable creek, called tlie M.ich-.n.
