The fire engine was brought out ami
tested an Saturday evening last. To the
astonishment of everybody it refused for a
time to squirt. An investigation was had
and it was discovered that somebody had
filled the uozzle with small pebbles, "ilada
fire been in progress, with every minute of
time of incalculable value, this circumstance
might have been most deplorable in its re
sults. The story goes that twn ronng ladies of
Aitoona recently visited Philadelphia. Af
ter a week's sojourn in the city, one of then
wrote home as follows : "We attract a great

like other ladys, and holen up our cloz.

A vile slander, of course.
"Hon. Jacob M. Campbell, wo under

to bode cood to the honorable gentleman,

entirely surrounded by ice is located, arttl
not only the ceiling and sides of which are

William V. Odenwaehler was fireman
o-i engine No. "J.72, which is presided over by
Knffitieer Michael Doran, of Wilmore. On
Moii lny, while attempting to tighten the
brake 011 the tender, a short distance east of
Gallitzin, this county, the brake-rod broke,
thus throwing him violently to the track.
He struck on his head and shoulders, and.
though he arose unassisted and remounted

to his system was such that he died a few
hours after. Ho lived in Aitoona, ami his
age was 2." years.

atnl remain there a week, providing the
money holds out. Col. Foulk, of Pittsburg,

who has much if not all to do with getting
up the excursion, will pilot the party. It
will doubtless Ik a most pleasant reunion,
ami a failure on our part to take a haml,
should such failure occur, must be attributed
o a press of business, or business of the

The large illustrated advertisement of
Mfssrst. W. H. H. Nivling & Co.. Founders
and Machinists. Tyrone. Pa., is big enough
ami ab'.e enough to speak for itself, but nev
ertheless we deem i t our d uty , ami a plen
antjone, to invite attention thereto, as well
a- advise those of our farmer friends who
stand in need and think of buying a thresh
ing machine or horse power, to give the en
terprising firm above named a trial. We
are stir they deserve all and more than ail
the patronage they can pet, Jvn.l we are
equally sure they will furnish honest work
at honest prices.
Judge Win. II. Sutton, of Pittsburgh,
spent. Wednesday last in our town. In 182!',
forty-nine years ago. ho went to school in
the old academy in this place. His father
then resided on a farm 011 the old canal,
about two miles north of Armagh, in Iadi
ana comity. After leaving school hero
Judge S. studied law, emigrated to Arkan
sas, and became a juda of the courts in one
of the districts in t hat State. Soon after the
close of the late war he returned to his na
tive S'.ate and sef.led in Pittsburgh where
he occupies a deservedly high rank asa law

" .t a meeting of the Town Council or
this borough, held Monday evening, it was
r -solve.i to reduce the yearly appropriation
to ili'i Dauntless Fire. Company from 100
to 7.i. This was mistaken economy, and
the" members of the company are justly in
rtt. tdH-rjeit. They think that instead
ofa reduction, the sum should haveheen in
creased, for S100 .lid not pay the actual ex
penses of running the et.iicern. If the
Count- are desirous of forcing the dishand-m-nt
of the crrr.parv, they could not have
adopted a line of conduct which would
more surely lead to that result.

standpoint bad reached us in
time it would have appeared in the present
issue of our paper, but as it dido t it. will
have to go over until next week. In the
meantime we don't like the imputations cast
upon the FKKKMAN, an.: adv.se a little lon

A niav. mm- d Free, residing in Franks
town tnwvsh'p. 1-dair county, made free to
t.t.-r his '.-aru alter dark a few .lays ago far
the purpose of setting a fte.-e of toi a. o
which he had left in a hole in the stone
foundation, and win I" in the act of doing sn
was bitten 0:1 the hard by a copperhead
make, which in the nv anlinie had taken
refuge injsaid hole. I.: urnicg to the house
he procured a lantern and again repairing
to the barn made short work of his snake
ship. Mr. Free's hand became hadly swol
len, but otherwise he experienced very little
inconvenience, ami has probably ere this
recoveied the full use of saitl memlier.
Mr. John McCormiek, of Snmmerhill
townsbin. has in contemplation the estab
lishment of a Greenback-Labor organ in
this county, provided the members of sai.l
party are willing to give him the necessary
support. Mr. McCormiek is a gentleman
of more than ordinary talent, anil has had
considerable experience in writing for the
newspapers, notab'y the Fit f.f.man". More
tnan that, he is thoroughly posted on the
principles of the new party, and if his pro
ject succeeds he will be sure to prove an
able, enlcient and faithful champion of the
cause. All who wish to strengthen his
hands in the proposed enterprise should call
on or address him at Wilmore.
Recorder Greevy's action of contempt
against Lawyer Herr, both of Aitoona. was
appea'.ed by the latter before Associate
Judge Maun, by whom it was dismissed.
Whereupon, Mr "Greevy presented a petition
to the lilairoounty Court that Judge Mann's
decision be reviewed. The cas" came up for
a hearing 011 Monday, when Judge D-an
peremptorily re fust d to interfere with the
rulings of another member of the Court.
What remedy, then, have I?" asked the
Recorder. Judge Dean's renlv, according
tt) tlie Tri'tuttf-, was : "I don't know. You
can go rut of the country, where the laws
are different, but while in Pennsylvania you
must lake the laws as they are."
Mr. S . itlnmenthal, the proprietor of
the big boot and shoe store at lll'.t Eleventh
avenue, Aitoona, is on a visit to the F.astern
cities for the purpose of replenishing bis
stock. He purposes buying, in fact has
probably ere this bought, largely, ami of the
latest and most approved styles, and has al
ready sent forward anil will continue to add
to his stock the finest lot of boots, shoes,
slippers, etc., ever s-en in the Mountain
City. He buys exclusively for cash, and by
this means is enabled to undersell all com
petitors. When the opportunity presents,
do not fail to call ami interview Mr. I'lumen

The State Committee of ths National
Labor party met at Cresson on Tuesday.
About one hundred representatives, inclu
ding Mr. Mason, the National nominee for
Governor, and Hon. James L. Wright, or
ganizer and lecturer, were present. The re
ports presented indicated a desire to form a
combination with either of the other two
parties iu every county possibl, so as to in
sure the election of a portion of their ticket,
but no stock is to be taken iu any party
In Cue least tainted by Cameronism, for a
resolution was passed that no man should
receive their support who was not pledged
to vote and work against either Simon or
Don far U.S. Senator. Generally speaking,
the proceedings were spiritless.
Mrs. Siiecer, the Johnstown woman who
was last week brought to our county jail for
safe-keeping till her mind should have be
come restored to its normal condition, at
tempted to commit suicide by hanging on
Saturday last. She made a sort of ropt, of
her apron and sw.ing herself eft from one of
the iron bars in her cell, but her eouiiition
was discovered and tlie attempt thwarted by
some of the inmates before life was extinct.
The application of restoratives soon brought
her round agiin, and, strange to say, from
that moment all traces of insanity seem to
hare left her mind. She taiks and acts in a
rational manner, and the Sheriff has notified
her husband that she desires to return home
to her children. This request will likely
have bet 11 complied with before the Fkkk
MAN reaches its readers, ami a once haj.py
family will thus again be united.
Hon. Thomas P. Fenlon, of Leaven
worth, Kansas, is at present on a visit to this
place. Since the recent deat h of his wi"e
Mr. Fenlon's twin boys, named Tom and
Kd., have lieen attending the Sisters of Si.
Joseph's school here and staying with Mrs.
Rhey, their grandmother, while his daugh
ter has lieen a pupil of St. Aloysius' Acade
my, Loretto. Mr. F. is a "lawyer, standing
at tho head of the Leavenworth bar, ami is
not only one of the most influential ami
trusted leaders of the Democracy of Kansas,
who, Jail hongh in a hopeless minority, always
make a vigorous fight in a State contest, but
was three times elected to the State Legis
lature, of which he was made Speaker hy ojv
position votes. His father, Mr. James Fen
lon, long a resilient of this place and well
known to our people, is now a citizen pf In
dependence, Missouri, to which place ho re
moved from Latrobe a few years ago.
Within the last half-dozen years, sever
al skiffs, more or less elaborate in point of
construction, have made their appearance
011 the ponds in this vicinity. They are
sometimes used for purposes of pleasure,
but more generally form abase of operations
for the angler's art. On what is known as
Griffith's dam is to be seen a sort of a mon
grel dug-out twenty feet long by three feet
in breadth, in which persons sometimes
brave the perils of the deep about four
feet deep, speaking of the water. This is
not a new cruft. On the contrary, it was
hollowed out fifty years ago, ami boys who
then sported in it have grown to be r.id men,
ami some of them have died full of yars.
There are, those who claim that it could be
propelled at to" rate of a mile and a quarter
an hour, provided iteouM be kept right side
up that length of time, but this is not gener
ally accepted as possible. What we desire
especially to say of this old tub, however, is
that a Johnston 11 m in was discovered taking
its dimensions the other tl ay , for the purpose,
as he stated, of building a bark on the same
model with which to compete for the cham
pionship of he Stony creek.

the sad death by ilrownitig of Ir. Hoffman,
one of his brothers, the dispatch tiot stating,
however, which one of them it was, he hav

medical profession. Si lute then we have
learned from the Iloctor, ami also from Ihe
Kiftaiuiiiig Free Presx, to which we are in
debted for the subjoined particulars, that the
unfortunate man was Dr. M. B. Hoffman,
who in the winter of 1K75 t taught school at
Cherry Tree, Indiana, county, but never
practised his profession, as the Johnstown
Tribune stated, at Jelly's station, this coun

Tiif. Cask it Mi:s. Maktz. V.'p ?;iade
mei.tion in 'here columns lAst w-.-k of the
sad cas of Mrs. Jos-ph . tartz, who had tor
a considerable t i nt- b -ti im arcer.ite 1 ; r. -:t r
county jail on th ch;;rge of assault and bat
tery, with nrestiued lnsavity Pstiie cause of
her conduct. Her loud t..'tk, her violent be
havior, and the perstj.fej'ey with which she
adhered to the story that she had been roll- j
iied of her children, had enlisted for berjibe
attention and sympaihv of the public. In
some of her ever-varying moods she told a
distressing story of desertion on the part of
her husband, with poverty following iu the
wake, ami her children being scattered i
amongst the neighttors. She saitl that she
had ben foully wronged by those w ho bad
placed her inside the cells of a prison, and
that, after awhile, the corrupt motives of
her persecutors would lie made manifest.
So far as the desertion of Ler husband is con
cerned, as well as in some minor particulars
of her story, she is corroltorateil by trust
worthy witnesses, but it is as yet too early
to say that she should not have been put un
der restraint. For a time she ami her three
or four babes were inmates of tlie Poor
House. Subsequently the children were ta
ken charge of by her husband's relatives,
an.l, in an effort to repossess hciself of her
own onspring, she committed the assault j
for which she. was committed to jail. Iu j
the estimation ot many, tender treatment
iustead of usage so harsh would more fully
have met the requirements of the case. At
any rate, as she herself frequently saitl, she
was no common character to be cooped up
in the company of a gang of desperadoes.
Mrs. Martz's maiden name was McGough,
ami on Friday of last week a brother and
sister of her's appeared before Ksqutre Kin
keatl, aud, as required by the nature of the
information in the case, entered bail iu a
nominal sum for her appearance at the
next term of Court. She was thereupon set
at lilrty, an.l is :ow in all probability at
her former home. Her future career will
lie followed with interest by many conver
sant with the history here narrated. Jos.
Martz, the husband, has failed as yet to
identify himself with the misfortunes of his
wife, though, so late as six we-ks ago, he
was seen at Gallitzin, ibis county.
SitttCKiNr. Suicide ix Westmoreland
1 Ctl:NTY. An unprecedented case nf suicide
unprecedented iu the fact that the victim
was a woman and a pistol the weapon used
to accomplish the dreadful deed occurred
in Westmoreland count? on Wednesdav
morning of last week. The particulars of
the shocking tragedy are given hy the Mt.
Pleasant JJaicn of said date, as follows :
Early this morning th news reached us that
Mrs. Troxel. wife of John Troxel, who reside"
neitr Kairview Church, about three miles smith
of this place, tind committed suicide by shoot
ititr herself. The facts, hs nenr us we hnve
been a' le to obtain them, nre s ubstantially its
follows: Mrs. Troxel h.nl t.een unite III for
some months pat, and durfnir her sickness she
at times became morbidly melancholy. This
'norntnu Mr. Troxel arose at five o'clock. Ienv
insf his wife iu netl ; it not beirur her custom ti
rise so OMriy. Hsving- to deliver h number of
cattle at Tart's station, Mr. Troxel proceede.1
to tlisfltsrire his cnsu-cment at an early hour,
and had reached the head of Mnin street in this
place before ttie mewnitrr. hearinir the sad
news of the death of his wile reached him.
Alter Mr. Troxel left home, the servant un l
went slioiil in tendinis to her usual mtirnimr
work, until iituuit seven o'clock, when site in
quired of one of t he children if Mrs. Troxel
had nriseii. Tiie child ststed thst she hud not.
Tlie servant irirl iiutnediHtely proceeded 10

tm her left side, with her head resting upon
her arm. white in her liaht hand she titfhtiy
K-iasped 11 navy revolver. When discovered
she was anparciiHy dead, there beinr no sie-ns
of iile. t'pon cXHtnitiHtion it was discovered
that she bud fired twit shots, one taking effect
in the liirht temple, the bull euieritijr the br.dn
nnd producing almost instant death, iie h-i l
srist'ti .'nirinir die mornm an 1 dressed ht-tself,
and liiijr down 011 the bed Hiram to rest, she
was doiibtics' seized with ft lit of bypocho.n
dra. nnditi this state of mind committed tlie
awful dec! which removed her from nil earth
ly sillier ions ami launched lier soul into an un
tried eternity. The deceased wnsa daughter of
V.'in. Snyder, of lirioirepoi t, stnd the mother id
six children four sons and two ilmiiriitrrs. It
is very seldom tlmt a woman commits suicide
.V shooiir.jr her-elf, nni this is said 10 be the
tirs.t case Hint ever occurred in this vicinity.

is claimed lht Vanderbi'il exhibited great
nerve and shrewd business sagacity in the
purchase of stocks ami railroads controlled
by him. Yet, whenever he made an invest
ment he received in return an equivalent
either as bis own, or as collateral security.
Dr. R. V. Pierce has invested many hundred
thousand dollars in advertising, depending
entirely upon the superior merits of iiis goods
for security. The unparalled popularity of
his family medicines, ami the annua! in
crease in their sale, attests in arguments
stronger than words of their purity ami ef
ficiency. If the blood bo impoverished, the
liver sluggish or there be tumors, blotches,
ami pimples. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will effect a speedy and perfect
cure. If the bowels be constipated use Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant- Purgative Pellets. Debil
itated females suffering with those peculiar
dracging-down sensations ami weaknesses
will find Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
a safe ami certain remedy. Prompt relief
ami a permanent cure have so universally
followed its use, that the tloctor new sells it
nmler a positive guarantee.

A half prown cirl employed asa domes
tic at, the Mountain House, Cresson, ami
whose name has escaped our memory, made
a very narrow escape from a shocking death
on last Saturday afternoon. She was en
gaeil at the time in scrubbing about tha
steam clothes-wringer in the wash house,
ami while intent on her work f hoticht'.essy
approached too close tt the rapid moving
machine, .a spindle extending from which
caught, her clothing !ntl was in a fair way to
end her mortal career, had not her fran'io
outcriesattractetl the attention of Mr. Omen,
the engineer, who reversed the engine just
in time to save the poor girl from what in all
probability would have been a horrible
tleath. As it was, she had the elothiun
nearly all torn from her person, ami her back
was somewhat injured, though we believe
tiot very seriously.

Kpitor Cambria Frf.eman Your issue of
last week contained a communication from II.
J, H.. of Chest Springs, who in the opening- oe.-s
sik h (rrand laniruasse that it almost stss-jrers tho
reader. But shallow people are most Hpt tor.f
fect profundity: therefore, with this Hllowati'-e
rntide for him. we will pass the first part of his
letl.-r and iro on fun her. He say s that "dissat
isfaction still lurk in the bosoms of s..-ne of the
defeated candidates." How -ou!d he know
this so well if some of it were n d tti his own
bosom? Then, he says, "Try, trv Hraiti." In
his case it wool,! seem almost nappes, na b;
iv is beat completely out tf siirht on the fst
ballot. In the last convention ho certainly del
try. but in his ease nt least there is tio usa Tor
the si 'i-o -id part of the motto.
H. J. II comes down 1 t-ry romrh on A. Tl. C.
for tryinir. to srtt thr- nomination it' the Green
back ticket, an.l licenses t hr.t uent Ionian, wiiotn
he says wns elected to othc- when on the brink
of bankruptcy and hvitia in obscurity, of stab
.binir the liemocralic party in the back. To
this I would say that 11..). H. has no ritrht to
ntnkepnhPc ".he fmnricinl MHinbn of Mr. ".,
and ns to his living in obscurity, 1 itiiuk that he
wns na well ami favorablv known to the voters
of little Cambria as H.J. II. Ami aeMin. Mr.
C, ttt say t he least, filled ihe offiee of Treasurer
as much to I he s.i t isfacl ion of his constituents
ns did H. .1. II. the office of Justice, of thelVHce,
in connection with which it is truth to say 11.
J. H.can never aim in be eU-ctcd to an olhce of
honor or trust in this part of the county.
It docsnot become him to rant so much nhout
the Ot r-onhat k party, ns he was one of i's most
nrdeut supporters duritiir the summer of 1T7.
After the tail elect ion he tlniurht the prop of
the Democracy could not be knocked down for
sotm time and conscqnciii !y it would not do
for hitn to w ait for favors from the (i reet.bnck
parry, II" therefore put on bis coat with tiie
othersiie out opain. nnd next thin in turn he
is out for Assembly. And he Hill continues
out, nnd will no doubt so remain lor years to
come. One of the best traits reran Assembly-

Hopin that II. J. H. may lea,-n to love those
of his neighbors who may happen to !eintrtu
ble either flrnncia liy or politically, and may
love the old Democratic party forever !s i.i
