We were gratified to met and greet, in
our town this week, Mr. T. S. Troxell, a
worthy eon of onr true, earnest and much
respecUvl friend, John J. Troxell, Esq , of
Gallitzin. Mr. Troxell, Jf, has turned his
attention to the study of medicine, and has
since bis visit to onr town betaken himself
to Philadelphia, where he is almut to enter
on his ss:ond Verm as a student at Jefferson
Medical College, in that city. Out yonng
friend has tbe material in bira to make au

pect ere many years to chronicle the fact
that he has gained a prominent position in
the profession he has chosen for life.
Mr. Lrm. Davis was so unfortunate last
week as to entrust a horse to the pMt.-lnn
of a man who tnrned out to In a tramp, with
all that that term implies. The tramp took
the auimal to East Conemaugh.and sold it
to a gentleman named Shaffer for 82.50 antl
two old watches. Subsequent to this, he
drank all the whiskey that 22.50 would pay
for, lost the watches, aud weut to the Johns
town lock-op on the charge of beiug drunk
and disorderly. He was interviewed by
Mr. Davis, with tbe result that the horse
got !ack to its rightful owner. As to the
tramp, he will iu all probability look ihrougb
the bars tf the penitentiary for some mouths
to come.
Our venerable friend, Capt. Oeorge Nel
sou Smith, is with us this week. He has
been on a tour westward, visiting in West
moreland and Allegheny counties some of
the friauds of his early years. He is wel
come as coals at Christmas. We say of him
that be is a Democrat in whom there is no
guile, but over and above that runs the fact
that he was a soldier who did a soldier's
service in the war for the iudeoendence of
Texas. Some other Cambrians were enga
ged in that conflict, noticeable amougst whom
might bo mentioned Basil Durbin, now de

A man named White is charged in tbe

on James McKay, of Cambria township.
The trouble dates back six months, and
White was successful iu keeping himself

Friday last, when he was lapped on the
shoulder while In this place. Immediately
thereafter, adissoWing view of White's coat
tails, with the ends pointing in the direc
tion of E'oensburg, was to bediscerned. He
made his escape, and if he maintained the
same rate of speed he started out with for
any length of time, he must be something
less thau a million of miles away from here

The Hollidaysburg Standard nses lan
guage none too strong when it declares that
tbe man who would write the extract from
the Johnstown Triune (printed and com

week) in relation to the terrible sconrge
now devastating Southern towns and cities,
has the heart .of attend; and sincerely in
deed can we say Amen to the comments of
tbe Standard when it adds : "Cpon the scene
of suOermg which should excite the liveliest
feelings of sympathy and compassion, the
ghoul who wrote the extract referred to looke
with fiendish exultation. It is to be boned
thai tbe Almighty will look upon him with

Late Saturday night, says the Altoona
Mirror, gleaning its Information from the
Johnstown Tribune, an attac k was made on
Mr. Jacob Cradle, bartender for Mr. Jacob
Jacoby, Bedford street, Johnstown, by two
unknown persons, just after he closed up
the saloon, and he was hammered by them
about the face and body until insensible.
They then rolled him down over the steep
embankment to the edge of tbe river, in
tending, doubtless, to finish their brutal
work by drowning him. Two hours after
ward he returned to consciousness aud man

Twoore miners named Thomas Callihan
and Michael Cooney, assisted b. a man
named Andrew Stanley, undertook to put
off a blast in the C. I. Co.'s mine at the east
end of the Tunnel, on Tuesday last. They
were engaged in the p rocess of tamping the
rock for the purpose of removing a portion
of the roof and enlarging the eutrance to
tbe mine, wben fire was struck through the
manipulation of the iron, and igniting the
powder, an explosion followed. Callihan
was blown a considerable distance, and was
found standing on bis head on top of a pile
of rocks. Cooney numbered amongst his
wounds one on his head and a couple on his
legs, and Is In the hands of Dr. Miller, of
Gallitzin. Stanley received some very se
vere injuries, which may not prove fatal,
though his case is said to be somewhat pre
carious. As for Callihan, there is said tole
no hope for his recovery, and it is possible
that be may be dead before this reaches the
eyes of our readers.
John Fulton, Esq., General Mining En
gineer for the Cambria Iron Company at
Johnstown, has lately promulgated through
the columns of tbe Johnstown Tribnne an
order to the effect that no child under twelve
years of age shall in the future le permitted
to work in the mines of the Cambria Irou
Company, or elsewhere. It is based on an
act of the Legislature passed on the 23d of
May last, entitled "An Act to Prevent Cru
elty to Children." By the terms of this
Act, no child under the age of twelve years
shall be employed in tbe coal or ore mines,
under a penalty in each and every case of
from 810 to $50. He adds that all persons
in the employ of the Company of the age
mentioned, must be discharged forthwith,
and must either cease hereafter to be con
nected with that monopoly or take the due
course of law. The letter is addressed to
"John Cameron, Esq.. Superintendent of
Mines of the C. I. Co., Johnstown, Pa," and
evidently means business.
A crazy tramp named Unghes, who has
been an iumate of our county jail for a couple
or three months past, succeeded on Wednes
day evening last in freeing himself from bis
handcuffs, and then broke the heavy chain
which confied him to the floor, whereupon
Sheriff Ryan, with a lantern in one hand
and a stout club in the other, entered his
cell, followed by several other parties, for
the purpose of securing bitn, when the mail
man knocked tbe lantern out of bis band and
shattered it to pieces on the floor. Then en
circling the Sheriff in bis stalwart arms, be
proceeded to "chaw" him np. Inflicting a
very ngly wound on his left cheek, and had
It not been for the interposition of Deputy
Sheriff McAnany, of Cambria borough, who
happened to be present at the time, the
probabilities are that Hughes wonid have
made a full meal off the Sheriff's face,
If indeed he had not killed him outright.
The madman was finally subdued and once
more handcuffed and chained to the floor,
after which Mr, Ryan repaired to Dr. Lem
tnon's office and had his wounds dressed.
Democratic Meetiso. In conformity
with announcement made a few hours pre
vious, Gen. A. H. Coffroth, the standard
bearer of the Democratic forces of this Con
gressional district, spoke in tbeCcnrt House
on Tuesday evening last, to an audience
which was limited alone by the size of the
room. Hon. John Flauagan, of Johnstown,
presided, assisted by the usual number of
Vice Presidents and Secretaries, Ou this
occasion, many of onr people first saw Gen.
Coffroth, and listened to the sonnd and sen
sible political doctrines which fell from his
lips, and we hesitate not to say that the re
membrance of bis looks and language will
linger in the minds of many long after tbe
Congressional contest has been fought and
won. We do not propose to attempt eveu a
synopsis of the address, for the all-sufScient
reason thata synopsis of the facts and figures
which entered iuto the composition of his
spech would require coluuius of our paper
to embody ; yet it was the testimohy of all
who listened to it that it was an unanswer
able argument in favor of Democratic prin
ciples. A story found its way Into print, through
malice or from some other motive, to the
effect that Geu. Coffroth had disposed of a
cadetship for a valuable consideration in
tbe year 1864. This charge was met antl
effectually disposed of by the General in
these words: "I say to you, my fellow citi
zens, and call God to wituess, that the mau
who mentions my name in snob a connection
is a falsifier, and the truth is not iu him."
Words like tbes will do to rally round.
The General proposes to speak to the peo
ple of the connty at prominent points on
several occasions between now and the day
of election. We will make the proper an
nouncement Id tbe Freeman at some future
time.
The effort of Mr. Coffroth was preceded by
a brief but. brilliant speech from Jos. Mc
Donald, Esq., Chairman of the Democratic
Connty Committee, who has few equals and
less superiors as an orator, and was followed
by a dashing and spirited address from F.
P. Tierney, Esq., who knows how to express
himself ic terms not to be misunderstood.
Other speakers were called for, btit failing
to respond, tbe meeting adjourned about
half-past 9 o'clock.
E PiSTOieATORY. In the issue of this
paper one week old, a little game of John
A nsley's was exposed. It was to the effect
that Ansley, in Westmoreland county, hail
permitted himself to liecome caught np in
some bad practices. He had gone ont in the
dead of night on frequent occasions and dis
posed of what was called counterfeit money,
and possibly busted a safe or a vault now
and then by way of recreation. He had
done other things which were reprehensible.
It is scarce necessary to mark these crimi
nal practices against him, for the best of
men may err. Ansley was safely located in
the Cambria county jail, and during the
present week was tried before the Court of
Oyer and Terminer on a charge of felony.
It will be elsewhere fonud that tbe jury ad
judged him guilty. A lady who represents
herself to be the wife of Ansley, and donbt
less sustains that enviable relation toward
him, paid strict attention to the testimony
in the case. After the verdict had been re
corded, this lady walked from the Conrt
House to the jail with a Sharp revolver in
her band. Tbe special reason why she car
ried this revolver in her hand is not known,
but the wind-up of the affair was that she

Titr Romance or Nicodemus. The
village of Alexandria, Huntingdon county,
is rapidly attaining a notoriety which wo
venture to say was uever dreamed of in its
philosophy. Only a week or two since a
story got into the papers that an astonishiug
cave, full of nickel and other valuable min
erals, bad been discovered in that immedi
ate neighborhood, which story was followed
shortly after by the nneartbing of some f
the spoils salted away by Lewis, the robber,
a half century ago. Some folksdoubted the
exactitude of tbe narratfve, and with reason,
but here comes in something more wonder
ful yet. Nicodemns Yocnm is the hero, and
the Cincinnati Enquirer, Ins'ead of the Pitts
burgh C'Arontcfe.is the vehicle through which
the news reaches ns. Huntingdon connty
at one time eujoyed the proud prominence
of owning the prince of newsuaporial liars,
but that mantle has evidently fallen on oth
er shoulders. At least, what follows would
make one think so :
In tbe vear 1M7. at Alexandria. Huntliurdon
county. Pa., lived Nlcodomns Voenm. by trade a
blacksmith. His wife, whose maiden came was '
Nancy Brown, hd. before marrlaico, emlurated j
with her parents from Caps Co I, Muss. While liv- 1
Ing at Alexandria ttiey had three children. The'
eldest, in 1813. was named for hi? father. About I
JKi5 Mr. Yocnm emigrated with his wife's people ;
back to Cape Cod. i-iere Nicodemns, the younic- J
er, had grown Into manhood, and in the course of
time became Captain ot a wrHng vessel, which j
cruised for years, with vary"''? sneee?, in the '
North Paellic ocean. When on a homeward voy- .
nire in the year 1841. off the Southern coast of
China, he reneued a disabled Junk, containing, be-s
sides the sailors, five Chinese mandarins ot high I
rank. The helpless vessel was lowered Into the
harbor of Yunirao, In the province Quangtung,
where Captain Yoeara and his American crew
were loaded with presents. One of t he mandarins
could speak French, having learned it Irom a
Catholic missionary on the Island of Peseadore.
Several of the American sailors understood the
same language, anil a happy conversation was
engaged In. In due time the whsleshlp returned .
to t;pe Cod, where Capt, Yornm found that hts .
wife was dead, leaving a two-year-old son, named
Jeremiah. (In year afterward Capt. Yocnm
sailed for the China Sea. Entering the mouth of
the river Po-Kiang, messages were sent to the :
rescued mandarins of "two vears before, and the
Yankee ship was permitted to go Into the harbor.
In return '"or his father's kindnes. Jeremiah was
sent to the Royal Preparatory School at the above
named city, and at the nae of seventeen entered
the Imperial College. Here eight years were
spent learning the Chinese language. After
some time spent as a teacher he made an Kngllsh
translation of Ta ts'lng ylth t'ung che. or Urogra
phy of the Empire as relates to the Province of
tuangtung. La ft year he was made a madarln
and was appointed an attache of the Chinese Kio
hassy now visiting t hiseountrv. lmrlng the com
ing winter it is his intention to viit Alexandria,
and hunt up the genealogy of his grandfather's
family.

An event In the history of the Pennoyivsnla,
Ohio and West Virginia Press Association, long
and pleasantly to be remembered by the ladles
and gentlemen who participated. Was the recent
excursion of s goodly number of the members
of said Association nnd their wives, daughters,
sweethearts and friends, among the latter or
whom were not a few of the masculine persua

conducted, l his ny way r parenthesis, and now
let us refer as briefly as possible to some of tbe
sights seen, courtesies received and pleasures
enjoyed during the eight days so delightfully
spent In visiting one of the greatest wonders of
the world.
Leaving Ebensbnrgon Monday evening. Aug.
10th, In company with Editor James and Mr. F.
H. Barker, we succeeded t Cresson In "scoop
ing in" anotherof our townsmen. A. V. Barker,
Esq.. whom we captured and took with us noU tix
r it nil (we believe that Is the Latin for It), with
out affording him an opportunity to say nay or
a chance to shl f t Tor himself. Reaching Pitts
burgh us four and no more from Cambria's
northern shore we spent tbe balance of the
night and took breakraet that Is. tbe latter
gentleman and ourself, the other two taking a
more "Central'' position at the famous Seventh
Avenue Hotel, so admirably conducted by Col.
fnger and so popular among all who appreciate
luxurious accommodations and tbe most gen
tlemanly treatment at the lowest possible prices.
Tuesdaymornlng we repaired to the Union
Iiepot, where wc soon became psrt and parcel
of a happy throng numbering nearly if not quite
two hundred, and ere long we were comforta
bly seated in one of the seven elegant cars pro
vided for the occasion. In which we had scarce
ly more than ensconced ourself when the train
moved out of the depot and proceeded on Its
Journey over the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St.
I. ouls Kiiilway. otherwise known as the "Pnn
llsndle Koute," which outside of our c wn great
and unequalied thoroughfare, the Pa. It. U has
no superior In equipment, maong-ement, speed
and comfort on the American continent. Stop
ping by the way at Steubenville. Newark and a
few other points along the road to "gather thetn
In" that is, iu.reof the editors and their ladies
tbe excursionists reached Columbus, O., be
tween 1 and 2 o'clock, p. tn.. wberea sumptuous
dinner greeted the visions and In a vory brief
time satisfied the Infernal no. Internal crav
ings of as hungry set of mortals, we venture to
say, as has struck the capital of tbe liuckeye
S'ate for many a day. After an hour spent In
disposing of I lie rich viands and taking a stroll
tn ami about the commodious depot, the cry tr
"all aboard I' hastily summoned the parly back
to their comfortable seats In the cars, and the
train once more took up its lint; of march for
the city of Porkopolis. Nothing worthy of spe
cial mention occurred during the next four
hours, the seldom changing kaieidlcope here
as elsewhere along the route bringing to view
an almost unbroken chain of ttrtftytrorn-sialks,
groaning, so to speak, beneath and above the
wclirht of ripening ears. At 6 o'clock or there
abouts the Joyfully-ladened train came to a halt
in the elegant depot at Cincinnati, f rom whence.
oat of pure delight no doubt, the ladies, an
the gentlemen too. or course, were missed
the wav to the Grand Hotel, one of the lurg
and best furnished hotels to be found any wht
this side of sundown. Here there ws some i
lav In the assignment of rooms and some co
ulaint about the method of serving at table, t
reduction In price being made an excuse fo
puking the victuals under our respective noses
and allowing us the privilege of either taking
what was offered, or, ror au we anew to the con
trary, running the risk of getting nothing more
congenial to our tastes. Still as t he rooms were
neat, clean and well furnished, and the victuals
"not to be sneezed at," the Innovation was gen
erally accepted without much grumbling.
After supper nearly tbe enilte party accept
ed an invitation, kindly extended, to visit Ihe
Highland House on Mt. Adams. This delight
ful resort was reached from the hotel by street
cars and an Inclined plane, and when reached
a mtist Interesting view of ihe city by gaslight
was the pleasing panorama spread out before
U9. The Cincinnati Orchestra discoursed sweet
music, and all who felt Inclined eipix-d their
beei or other beverag-s (our crowd took lem
onade in their'n) and paid for It like otherjfolks.
Thus was a few hours very pleasantly passed,
after which the parly were "inclined" once
more to the foot of the hill, a stationary engine
at the top doing all the work, and thence betook
themselves once more to the hotel.
Wednesday morning the excursionists to a
mau (and woman), each of whom had a tiny
scrap of blue ribbon pinned to the lapel of h:s
coat, or, In the case of the ladles, to the place
where the lapel of the coat ought to be, grate
fully availed themselves of the opportunity af
foriie.i. through invitation extended by John
Plmpkinson, Esq., President of the Cincinnati
Zoological Association, to visit the loo zoo and
hold friendly Intercourse with a goodly throng
of Darwin's progenitors and hundreds of other
denizens or th-? forest, sea and air. Here too
we were met and welcomed to the freed im of
the city In a neat speech by Hon. John .Moore,
Mayor of Cincinnati, who took occasion to pay
a well deserved compliment to the; President
and Managers of the Zoological Garden, r ler
ring among other things, with either pride or
sorrow, we don't know which, to the fact that
there Is only one John impklnson, rorgetilmr,
or at least Ignoring for the time being, the no
less apparent fact that there Is me Moore, and
he the Mayor, of whom Cincinnati has every
reason to be proud. The address of welcome
was replied toon behalf or the Prtss Associa
tion by Mr. Chill W". Huzzard, of Monongahela
Ciir, whose remarks weie as full of warmth and
wit as It they had emanated from a less Chtll-y
source. After the speech making, which It Is
proper to say was preceded by a very enjoyable
sight-seeing tour through the Garden, a sub
stantial repast was provided for the party by
M r. Simpkinson, who then piloted ns to one of
the outer gates and bade us a kindly farewell.
The excursionists thereupon returned by a dif
ferent line of street car to the hotel, fully Im
pressed with the conviction that Cincinnati bus
a Zoological Garden which will now com pure
favorably and Is destined ere long to surpass
auy similar Institution in the United States.
Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 by the clock the
excursionists left Cincinnntl en route for Louis
ville by special train oo tbe C. & L. Short Line,
reaching the latter city without experiencing
any unusual sensations, or seeing any notewor
thy sights, about 6:-'i the same day. Here the
'bussing business was repeated, and indue time
the Gait House opened its massive doors to give
us a cordial welcome. Here too we were speed
ily brought 1n contact with true Southern hos
pitality, and here also we personally had the
pleasure of meeting and eventually vMting t he
worthy family of our warm personal friend and
patron, Mr. Peter McTainany, a former citizen
of Altoona, who was born and reared in Wash
ington township, this county, but for several
years past has made his home In Ixiuisviile.
where, as here on iho Pa. K. K-, he is employed
ss a locomotive engineer. But we digress. At
the Gait House we found a tnnrniflp" nt supper
awaiting us, fo which we were welcomed by t he
Louisville Press Club and muny other celebri
ties, among whom may tie named Hon. Henry
Wattersoti. the comparatively youthful thougti
world-renowned cilltnr of lhe VvurUr J'rurnal
and worthy successor of the gifted and lament
ed Goo. D. Prenttoo: Hon. John Watta Kearny,
the brilliant, generous and wealthy son of Gen.
Philip Kearny, a brave and reputable officer of
the regular array, who lost bis life at the battle
of Bull Kun, aud whttse son, the aforesaid John

Ticket and Passenger Agent of the Louisville
and Great Southern Kailroad, and many other
warm-hearted gentlemen of that city whom we
shall ever hold lo.grnttlul remembrance. On
part of those who extended to ub such unmis
takable evidences of good will, speeches replete
with the most kindly and patriotic sentiments
were made by Messrs. Wnttcrvm, Howlett. the
worthy President of the Louisville Press Club,
Kearnv and others, and were replied to at some
length' In the most eloquent and befitting terms
by Mr. Hensel. the taleuted and amiable Junior

respective positions with the utmost grace and

and few except the more temperate among us,
in which class, our readers need scarcely be In-fo'-med,
the writer hereof should be reckoned,

poke our heads In, tncluulng of course the big
hole In the ground, the chances to secure a soft
snap in lhe downy vouch .'Ine were exceedingly
slim. Not proposing, however, to wring our
hearts, or even our shifts, on that account, we
availed ourselves of the first opportunity to re
plenish the inner man, and atter that we were
ready to join others among the excursionists
who had still nerve enoimh left to go over what
Is called l he "Short Koute," distance of seven
miles In the bowels of the earth. This feat was
accomplished. Includlnir many halts. In about
four hours, the party nnd Its guides, nearly all
of whoro were furnished with miners' lamps lu
skeleton frames, each of the party havluir pre
viously provided himself or herself with a cane,
going In at 7 and coming out about JI o'clock,
p. m. What we saw on this route, as w,-ll as on
the "Lornr Route" nine miles In and nine niitr-a
out which we went over next day, and which,
by the way, was something less than the one
hundredth anniversary of our birth, we will
leave our readers to conji-cture for tbe present,
though If nothing more Important Intervenes
we will In all probability revert to the-subject
next week. Suffice It for '.he time being then
to say that during the fourteen hour, all told,
which we spent In exploring tt.la great wonder,
we saw sights and met with experiences which
will never be eradicated from our memory.
Having, however. explored Its utmost lliiilts.su
far as now known, and beheld all the wonders
it has In store for sight-seers, we rest content
to remain where we are and allow the cave to
do the same thing for all time to come. True,
we saw more than enough to repay us for the
time and Infinitely small amount of money ex
pended, but nevertheless we are free to say that
a sight more welcome never greeted onr vision
than tbe one presented In the full gleam of the
gloriou sunlight when we emerged troui the
cave, after hiiving trudged for ten long hours
through Its narrow defiles and awe-lus;lrn g
chambers. Yet. for all that, we came fortr.
from the bowels of the earth more than ever
convinced. If such a thing wtre possible, that
there la a God above us.
Where we went and what we saw after leav.
Ing the cave must be told In very short meter,
as want of time and space both demand, in si
lent though eloquent words, that we should
"pull down our vest." Before doing so. how.
ever, we wish to say that the honor of Ebens
burg was fully maintained at the Cave hotel as
elsewhere. Inasmuch as her representatives suc
ceeded in getting away on Thursday night with
foUr out of the eleven cots left after thu ladles

was Intercepted on Its way to the hotel by Col.

son of the soil, with a warm heart In a big body.
Under his guidance we soon reached the Max

to be found anywhere. Here we took break

most pleasant experience In company with ihe
gentleman above named and others of the same

the excursionists was organized In one of tbe
parlors of the hotel, and a series of resolutions
expressive of the thanks tf all concerned for
the kind treatment received from railroads and
people were unanimously adopted, and then
handed over to Col. llurch for publication.
Then followed a visit still under the same kind
ly direction, to the larue and beautiful hlaie
House, of which Tennet-sec has just cause to be
proud, where we were prtseulcd to Governor

From the Slate capitol we were conducted to
the residence of Mrs. James K. Polk, to whom
aud to whose adopted daughter, standing Ly
her side, we were preseuted each lu turn and
made most heartily welcomed. Mrs. Polk, once
an inmate aud the glory of the White House. Is
a well preserved and most estimable lady, aged
eh nit 70 years, to which we trust many more
will yet be added. Leaving the presence ot bis
venerable relict, we paid a visit to the modest
tomb oT the ex. Prebldeut himself , which occu
pies a prominent position In the extensive
grounds fronting the line residence now occu

turned once more to the hotel, and later In tbe
