The name of Mr. Scott Williams' new
venture in journalism will be the Xorthcm
Camhrn yfc, which, by the way, is to be
Democratic and not independent, as we were
informed, and the first issue of the paper
will probably bee the light early in April
coming. Some purchases, snch as head
lined, roles, etc., "was made in Philadelphia
this week. The folks out along the northern
belt ought to patronize Seott.
Too much economy on the part of what
is called the "'lecture course" of Johnstown
Is the reason given for a signal failure by
Miss Helen Totter to draw a fall houss at
TTuion II all the other night. The want of
economy complained of may possibly consist
in the fact that Helen wasn't tho g-irl the
audience were looking for just then, and
. that there was a temperance meeting going
on aronml the corner at the same time.
In the Indiana county Court last -s-eek,
in the case of the CouiinonwealVk vs. E. H.
Wilson, it. F. Douglass, U. H. Brown, et al.,
the Jury returned a verdict fin-ling F.. II.
Wilson and Tt. K. Douglass grtilty of con
spiracy, heing the first count of tho indict
ment, aud acquitted all the othr defendants.
On the other counts, forcible entry and de
tainer, all the defendants were found not
gn!ity. A motion for a new trial was niado.
If this is not correct, char-j; it to he ac
count of the HollidayslViirg standard. If it
correct, the credit is due to the same
soun : While on the road to the Fountain
J mi a few days ago, Constable John Miller,
of fiaysport, met a ber.r in till middle of the
ro.nl. As the officer bad no warrant, and is
a scrupulous adherent to Itgal forms, ho
maile no attempt to arrest Bruin, "and tho
animal after snarling at Mr. M. went on his
way.

A man who gave his name as Johtr'Iran
cis was put off a freight train near1 Kittan-
i ning Point last Tuesday. He was put off in
bo energetic a manner that his face and hands
presen'ed a most dismal appearance after he
had gathered himself up, while hi clothing
was bespattered with mud from top to toe.

ths other Kerr, and these gentlemen propose
' staying where they are till somebody ex
plains to them how they can better their
'actuation by going elsewhere. Those who
left the Collins' enterprise, they say, are
those who will labor nowhere, and a com

be pitied.

' A resolution has leen passed by the
House referring all amcndiieiits tothega:ue

Mr. M. D. Condon, second sou of ourohl

Chaplain Davis seeuvs latterly to have
been wri'ing to the Jahnsinwn Tri' un, and
what he pronounces against the General
tioverninent and against llbensburg, in the
shape of a woe, might as well go down on
record. He says: "oy, oye, the Congres
is damned, and oye, Ebensburg is ,?i ven over
to her corruption." This may come up bad
against the Chaplain should bechance to run
for President or some other otlice in this
neck of woods, and we trust, for his own
sake, that the gentleman take it back.
L'p to latest account, the body of Joshua
Ellsworth, the man wh wasurowne.l in the
Conemangh river, near Johnstown, had not
been recovered. On t he theory that a drown-
. ed person will rise above the waters on the
; ninth day, a vigilant watch was kept up
. along the banks of the river by neighlwirs,
. but without avail. The tsidy remained hid
, den from sight. The condition of tho wife of
' the unfortunate man, which was rendered
perilous for a time by the suddenness of tho
shock which made her a widow, is bad
enouen, out is improving.
Mrs. K. E.
Jones not only requests us
tc inform those of !ier enstomers who re.t.1
our paper and are indebted to her for goods
purchased, that they will confer a great fa
vor by calling as soon as possible and paying
at least a portion of w hat they owe, as she
neel the money to buy her Spring stock,
but also desires us to say that she is selling
ladies' winter skirts, ladies' and children's
hose, and ai! other kind of winter goods, at
less than cost prices. So go with your mon
ey and pay what you owe, or buy what you
need while goods are so low.
Policeman Hogers, of Johnstown, brought
Mrs. John O'Neill, of Millville, to this place
Monday evening, and located her in a cell in
the jail, where she will be kept until arrange

Easly that his wife is insane, and that with

j week returned to the scenes of bis childhood,
. on a visit, and -.indertook to celebrate the
; occasion by indulging in it spree. In this
he was so eminently successful tliat when

; the track of the railroad belonging to that
corporation. A locomotive came along
! shortly afr.-rward, aril or.e of his legs was

On Friday last. 1!ooert .Volhoiland, son
of Jr. Wm. .V-i IhoHand, of Suminerliill
township, started from home? on horsrhrv k
to cross the mo intain into Hlair county, hut
fail mist to return in duo time, kis friends be
came alarmed and on Vonday last sent a
younger hroUier to ascertain if possible the
wherealKiiits of the lsent o;-e. This mis
sion provine a failure, several gentlemen
started out to search for the missintr man,
and on Tnesdav had the ".melancholy satis
faction of finding his remains shroud.-.! in
snow ami cold in dearh, while the horse he
hail ridden was discovered quietly and on
tentedlv browsinn on the scant hcrbace a
short distance away. It is presumed that
th. youcr man lost bi w av on the mountain,
and becoming exhausted through hunger,
cold and exposure, T.nal'y lay down ami
slept- the sleep which knows no waking.
Solomon V". Kob-rts, Esq.. In a recent
nrtiele en'itlf-d ' IIernii.isceti. es of the Old
Portage Kaiiroad." published in ti. Hoili
day.sburg ?'un'.ard. rr.f..a the assertion that
the Conemangh viaduct, "till standing, and
used by the Pennsylvania Kaiirc-ad as a part
of their main line, is the only strnctnre of
the Portage road now inns... A correspond
ent of the Altoona 7 W. disputes this
statement by saying: "Tie viaduct over
the .7 ii niat a at H ol iniaysbnrg and I w o small
er ones on the Newry brau. li at Duncans
ville are still i ed and stand as useful relics
of the first railroad over the Allegheny
monntai n . M r. John Low e. the ft "rM' mason
who finished the Hoilnlayeburg viaduct forty-seven
y.ttrs ago, is an active citircn of
Gaysport, and t'l-iiy feels tir'.iid of the mon
ument to his honest w ork manstii p, ami al
though show ing signs of weakness he con
tends The structure can never fall, or, rather,
cave in."
Ilev. T. It. Jones, pastor of the Congre
gational church of this place, returned home
a few days ago from a tdtort visit to ritts
burgh. He informs us that the reception
tendered him at Johnstow n by a number of
persons who insisted that he was Francis
Murphy, the great temperance reformer, was
substantially correct as reported in these
columns last week. The resemblance exist
ing between the two gentlemen in a phvsical
point of view is somewhat remarkable,
hough having seen Mr. Murphy we are sure
we would not mistake him for our clerual
friend, while their pronounced temperance
proclivities converge at a common centre,
and the mistake of the Johnsfowners is
therefore not to be won iercd at. In other
days, when Mr. Jones wore his hair long, it
was a common saying that it would bo hard
to tell -whether a certain photograph was the
counterfeit presentment of that gentleman
himself or of Henry Ward Ib-echor.
Lambert Alexander Cogan, fourteen
years old, son of Mr. J. H. Cogan. a highly
respectable and worthy citizen of Clearfield
towr.ship, in this county, left his father's
house on the 15th of last December, and up
to this time Mr. Cogan has not, been able to
get any information of his whereabouts
The boy, when he left bis parents, wore a
ronr.d cap, drab colored roundabout, and
dark striped pants. He has blue eyes, dark
hair, and his face is a good deal freckled.
Mr. Cogail of course feels all the anxiety of
a father about his child, and if the papers in
Clearfield and h'air counties with which we
exchange will copy the substance of this item
Mr. C. will !w a thousand times grateful, as
it is more than likely that thebov mic eedeil
in reaching one of the two counties we have
named. If this should happen to come un
der the eye of any one who knows anything
about the lad . M r. (V.gan's post office add ress

Titn Ilrrnlj, of this town, is plethoric of
news which once and aqaln seems to say
thr.t whenever you tickle a (jarden here or
hereabout, a harvest nurs: inevitably ensue.
For example, its t tiampionsbip of the Pindle
rtarrow-gatiee railroad to the Itlacklick coal
r"(i;.ons, ami its advocacy of the sale of the
LbensburK Mechanical Works. The Ttlack
lick coal region will be opened up for pur
poses of commerce in due 'ouise of time,
and so will be the Ebensburg Mechanical
Works, r.nt the Ilernhl s largeness of tell
ii;K ihincrs sometimes overshoots the mark.
Fur example: A representative of a certain
Eastern firm was in town two or three times
inside the paf six months looking at onr
Mechanical Works and tnlkinn of buying
the same. H e was pleased with the prospect
of things. He said that just here, where
lumber is prowr., and where labor is not
looking for wages which run beyond the
possibilities of capital to pay, ami where, in
the near f'tt ir", inimitable supplies of coal
and iron mils' of necessity be drawn from
the Itlacklick and Jackso.i region, is pre
ciselv th" spot on which to plant a wood
manufacturing establishment. He added
that to a discerning capitalist these and oth
er marks and data have seemed to be long
apparent, but that the advocacy of the 7t
?f of any enterprise of that sort at once
caused if. to become tinctured in the public
ir.ind with venality. This statement, is not
overdrawn. We giv it by authority, and
the sooner the Hrra'd ."learn that the less it
says on a sn'ijet which it fails to understand
the better it will be for ail concerned, antl
particularly for the F.bcnsburg Mechanical
Works.
The ritift is the name of a newspaper
printed at Curwensville. Clearfield county
near the point where rafting navigation on
the Susquehanna river is begun. It gives
tl:e foUowicp; (escriprinn of how thr ice
went off the river under the i nfl iienoe of t he
hot smti of last week: '"The ice came tear
ing over the dam antl continued passing over
for nearly t a-o hours As is usual every
sprir.g the iron bridge was crowded with
men, women, girls and boys watching the
grand j-p-etaem. Cakes f.-rty feet square
came to the dam. stepped, then broke antl
came tumbling and crushing over on its
way "n the sea.' No one who never saw
what in lum!" rrc.r n's psr'atioe we ca'l a
'break-up,' can have, any idea how grand a
sight, if is. Below ns the it e becomes broken
into fragments and tho sight is not near so
exciting to took upon." Wo learn, from
other sources, that the flood was one of un
precedented magnitn.lt., ami that the quan
tity of timb.-r t arried tlnwu by it to market
is not equalled by the records of other years.
; Charles K I'ngh, who has been appoint
ed fJereral Manager of the Pennsylvania
Hailroud Company in place of (L Clinton
(Jardnt r, resigned, firM entered the services
of the company at the little town of Newport,
Perry county, in 1t'.2. as freight agent. Hi',
afterwards served as passenger conductor on
the Philadelphia; division, then as Freight
and Passenger agent at the fiap, and in lHtt
he was assigned to the position (if (Jeneral
Agent, while Mr. "corse C. Fram iscus was
visiting Europe for the benefit of his health.
Upon the death of the latter Mr. Ptigh was
pt rmantly appointed General Agent, and
! during his ail mi nistration some of the most
important advances, anil improvements were
made by the Pennsylvania Kaiiroad Cona
i pany in extending their facilities and rami
1 fications. Oliver E. McClellan, formerly an
: assistant engineer at Altoona, and subse
; quently Superintendent of the Washington
street grain elevator, Philadelphia, has betu

In the face of everything, Wanamaker & T!rown increased
their great Clothing business last year at Oak Hall nearly a quarter
of a million dollars, and for 1S79 the new plans will make the
house more popular and increase the business much more.
Eighteen years ia the people's service at the old corner of Sixtli
and Market has taught us how to do the business well.
Whatever may be said, no house in the United States sells any
thing like so much Clothing at Retail as Oak Hall, and no house
in Philadelphia sells more than a quarter as mrtny goods as
Mr. Wanamaker sells in Clothing alone. Doing this large
business shews the people's regard for our goods, and enables us
to buy cheaply and sell at small profits.

New patterns have been made this year and new 'styles intro

famous firm of Devlin 5c Co., New York), who ii now associated
with Onk Hall, and will give his whole energies and valuable
experience to improving the manufacture of our Boys' and Men's
Clothing. We do not buy Clothing like the dealers, but make
it expressly for our own sales. The Sprin; stock is splendid,
and no other make of goods, so for, have ij much merit, or are
