AT Rest Mrs. Helen Stophell died at
the Hlair House, in this place, last Friday
morning, between the hours of one and two
o'clock. The combination of sad and sor
rowful circumstances which led to her un
timely decease were detailed at length in
these columns last week. As given, that nar
ration was correct in all essential particulars,
and a suggestion made by the Jonhstown
rw'uoieto the elTcet that said account was
"highly colored" is not, therefore, borne out
by the "facts. 15ut let that pass.
Soon after the spark of life had fled the
body of tlfo unfortunate lady was conveyed
from the Hlair House to the residence" of
her father, where kind friends prepared it
for burial, literally covering the bier with
floral decorations." One of these was in the
shape of au anchor and cross artisticallv
wrought, ami another bore the single word,
thrown out in bold relief from a black velvet
background
"HELEN."
At 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, the funeral
procession was formed. Mrs. Stophell in
her lifetime was a teacher in the Presbyterian
Sunday School, and the members of that
organization, along with those of the Con
gregational Sunday school, walked in pro
cession in a Imdy. With liells tolling, and
an immense concourse of mourning relatives
and sorrowing friends in procession, the
coftin was conveyed to the Presbyterian
church, where the customary senices were
hehl, conducted in a becoming manner by
the resident pastor. Hew Mr. Brown, who
also preached a funeral sermon teplete with
moving pathos and eloquent with the noblest
sentiments of a feeling heart.
The lid of the coftin was then removed,
and tor the last, time those who knew her
and loved her looked on the lineaments of
the once handsome and interesting face of
Helen Reade Stophell. The body w as inter
red in Lloyd cemetery.

his health began to decline. Duiiness, drow

A full delegation from each and every j
town, ward, atul township was present. On- ,
ly a half dozen substitutes thanks, it may i
lie, to a suggestion contained in these col- i
umns a week ago found it necessary to I
come to town. j
Mr. Johnston, Chairman, said : The Vn- j
ver.tion is now fully organized, and, to cor- j
rect any errors which may exist, 1 resign the 1
position of President of the convention as j
holding over. This suciieM ion was not lis- i
tenetl to. In other words, on motion of
Delegate ( )' Donnell, all the old officers were I
continued in the legitimate tenure of their j
position. j
The subjoined names were submitted as j
candidates' for Sheriff : Wm. Linton, Sum- ,
mitville : James Myers, Ebensburg : Patrick I
K. Klrby, Wilmore": Augustine Luther, Car- j
roll town-hip : John C. '. Dearer, Sustpie- ,
liau'ia town-hip, and Michael Nagle, of Car- !

The balli ting, as recorded by Secretary !
Wiscgarver and his associates was : '.
Delegate Taylor, from White towuship, in
starting up business, said : ''I wish to say
that Mr. Linton, having withdrawn from the
convention, is clearly outside the choiee of
any delegate."
Mr. Linton, who occupied a position out
side the railinc, arose in place and proceed
ed to say : ,-I b"g your pardon, I did not
withdraw mv name as a candidate, but an
attempt has been made to vote me out."
Secretary Wisegarver, tobring comparative
order out of chaos, moved that the names of
the original candidates be permitted to again
go before the convention ; and, in the end,
this motion prevailed.
Chairman Johnston at this point made a
statement. He said, in substance, that Mr.
Linton and his friends had called on him
prior to adjournment and demanded his
views with reference to the number of votes
required to make a nomination ; and he
went on to say that in accordance with the
rules of the Democratic party of Cambria
county, !2 votes must be cast if not to nomi
nate, at least to confirm the work, or there
could be no nomination. The friends of
Kirby, who were present in full force, indig
nantly repudiated this ruling of the chair,
but in the end, after a vote, it was declared
adopted. Whereupon Mr. Kirby's friends
declined to vote for Sheriff.
On the 20th ballot, as the subjoined figures
show, Mr. Nagle received a majority of the
full convention :

structure situate on the summit of a hill not far
from the northern boundary line of Cambria coun
ty, and is In-tween one and two miles alore the con
fluence of Beaver-dam and Slate-lick creeks. At
the time of the flirt settlement of the adiacent
country, clear fields, or portions of land eiitirelv
destitute of trees, existed in the near vicinity of
the "fort These clear fields are supposed to have
been Indian corn-fields durinir some Ionic past pe
riod of time how remote no one knows : and I may
add as a notable lact that the maize irrowinit there
at the present time is somewhat a-malze-inir in size,
many i-tulks wavinsr above the head of the observer
to the uncommon height of eleven or twelve feet
from the trroiinil. This proves at least that the

grown with huge tree-., two or three centuries old
at the least calculation. Ash. hickory, sugar and
elm trees occupied the area of the fort, while out
side the general pine forest held dominion. All
this proves the ant i-iuit y of the "i iid Korf beyond
question: and it would lurui-lt a pretty good les
son in ratioclF-ation for a certain class "of seepti"S
who are always in a to aln.ut everything which
they have n--t beheld Willi th.-ir own opt u-s.
First The fort was In u!" and then iay idle for
many years befor. the trees lM--an to rrow.
Second The trei s were from tlin-e to lour eentti
rtes in obtaining the growth witnessed, by the first
settlers of that region.
Hence we may with certainty Infer that Mils "Old
"Fort" was constni'-te.l some four centuries ago. and
we are assure ot the correctness i! this inlurenee
as if we had been present at the construction of the
earthwork and had witnessed the process with our
own eyes. So one. may pr.-Hve there are thlnirs
he must believe although he has never seen iht-m,
for the silent voices ol those arlM.resfent witnesses
spoke to the mental enrol the beholder with more
force than the strongest assertions of human testi
mony. Hut to return from this digression. The fact that
trees of goodly sue were growing wiihin the area
of the "fort" while no trees occupied the space of
the eh'ar tii'lds, seems to carry with it ttie convic
tion that the ! nd Kurt" is a good deal older than
the clear fii-1-1 which conviction severs the ideal
conntt-t ion between I hem. In ot her words, the peo
ple who built the "Old Fort'' lived there long an
terior to the ti Hers of the "clear holds." If this be
not true why did trees grow in the lort while none
grew within the area of theclear fields lying in the
immediate vicinity and surrounded hy the same
pine lorest ?

took the floor, or rather the Judges' bench,

convention is now in such a situation that
whatever it does will signally fail to result in
harmony. I love, first mvself: then my
country", and then (od. Loving thus anil

per tlii nn in order. 'C
About the year 171. Mr. Tnniei Turner took nji
i land along the Clearfield ereek. within the limits '
: nt Cambria county, !n what Is now White township. I
j Tin was the only settler in thai reirion for a ifood '
- many year?, and parsed his time in hunyn and '
j trappinv. Jle had been en paired in tle ii-u bni-
ns: in one of the eastern counties, but thnuir!
j Home unfortunate concurrence ol mepvintile intn- .
f caefes, he failed and ot ail hts projerty. With a J
I bare suiheieney to enable him to remove to the
j wilds of the Al!eithenie. he s Mn lost sinht ot h:
j poverty and his Josses amid the tirrin eenea ot j
I pioneer life. Lnd ?urveyinc, too. occupied a por- j
I tion of his time, but hunting and trappinif p!eae'l '
j him be-t and brouirht the mo-t jino ision for his
; household. The Feelusioti of the lite led by hiui
j and his family Is well exemplified by the following
; inei!"nt: Andrew And'T-on and wife were the
LTand parents of Andre-.v and illiam ltunjoMn.
: who are now thrifty tanner in the vienuty oJ tho
Heaver-dam?, in 'leariiebt and White townships, i
tin one oeea-ion thoe worthy people imid a viit
to the Turners and found the t niniy liearty and
1 thrifty, with plenty o utstanti il (hm1 to ?ij!-sit
i on in the shape ot errn-pone. venison. lear meat,
; ete. Wheat tionr. however, was olten pretty di fit-
j cult to iret a fast from wheat bread for month be-
! Ing a common occurrence while salt was fo scare '.
1 in those days that the price frequently ran up to i
, fabuliua hfftires. In theonrseot the conversation
1 Mrs. Turiter remarked that the Anderson were
t!e first white jmtsous outside herown faiutiy whom
she had seen for tour lont; years. Her enjoyment '
! of the visit may then-lore te easily imagined. i
' l re. apMrt Irom the world :.d iisw.iys, lived
! Ianii Turner like Alt xandrr Selkirk on his lone
Hhtud. while do"S. tids and wild an!:uals w tc ta
i mi liar obic,-t" in his daily raniMes through the for-
ests. MoiKtreh of all he surveyed, he was a patri

j mifiits too, "for & hunt does not alw.iys end with
t sundown. MaiiT were his Inirenion contrivances
for capturiuif the wild den'iens of the forest, and
it may therefore not be amiss ju-t here to srive o!ir
readers an idea of the Miape of bear-traps, dead
tall?, and snares in general. Il?s woit-pen we will
hnt describe. He seleet'.l a site in a narrow ra
vine where two tres srrew near t og.-ther, and built
a elo--e log stni'-tnre traduaily tapermu to the top
tiil the opening was about iwr s piare yard" in
area. A beam was fatne.l in ii't !i-JciU into the
topmost lo-s, 8o that it lay :i ro- the mid :!e ol
the openinir. A pair of drs, hinx .l t"iectlier in
the middle, were supported by and lio-t-ned to thi-"
cross-beam, so that thy would give way downwards
into the pen when any consider ihle weiicht p-e-ed
upon them. A ira ugway A a l-g or two was laid
:wros from the edge ff the ravine to the topmost
loir oi the pen. thus affordinu- the nnsuspe.-tinir an
imal an easy nece to the trap-doors, w lii-di gave
way as Hina it" wi-iht resterl upon them. An
alUirimr be. it of pome kind was placed in a eyn-ipic-uou?
i'0iti n In the bottom ol the peu, and tliat
completed the arrantrement.
n one oeeasion r.o less than eleven wolfish noes
pointed uwa'-d toward the observer in the morn
inif as lie gazetl down upon the diseonsolte inmp
of ?hifiry prowlers who nnwillingly occupied the
irnmnd Moor in Mr. Turner's pen.
We will n-.w eive tlie reader another vcritatle
bear ftory. In 'lU'cemhT. 1U, that redoubtable
hunter, old Ki"hard Ashcraft. was out alter game
in the neihl'orl:od ot li'en Coniiell. n settlement
I in what is now Chest township, in this county.
W hile on thi hunt he di-eover- d an aneient lnd
; lowche-nut tree, within wlio-o friendly shelter, as
, is the wont of the bruin family in winter, wce
. stiutrly ens'-one.si a she bear and her two oiiIk.
Ieavin them undisturbed, Mr. Ashr-ratt returned
i home, but next day he initrd Andrew Hurifoon,
t then a boy ot considerable si7e and irrit. to accttrn-
( imny him on an cxpe-Iitio;i atainst M rs. Hrnin and ,
! tier little fimily.Bnd mtyhap attains the old bear 1
; himself. He couldn't have pleaded Andy better .
i than by proposing su 'h an excursion, so out they
; loth started and ere long wen- on the trround and .
t had phi'-ed the obi chestnut tree in a state oi Mg. ,
i There wa? a larsre h'de in the trret trunk somc
; twenty feet or more from the around. whuh served
l the hear family a a means ol i:.jre.-s and egress:
and our wi-i-awake hunters, reconnoiteri njf tlio
position tlirn:iir!i this aperture, found the bear- ;
, ones? nn l her family at home. )d man A?h- '
: emit then:'? commander-in-chief o! the expedition .
j drew up his foreos around the tree whih forces ',
; consi-ted of Andy Hnrjron and direwd the

mot doleful tr.i! n?., pounding away In the mean
i time with a club tin the hollow tree In order to

lowed out to the letter by the irrepretjhie Andy,
J AsheraJt himself meaniime climhirig up the hill
I to :rt a peep Into the hole.
! Ttv result of this ?:ritaxem soon became ap
I parent, for ns the lad hammered away and bawied
; likeacalf in the last agonies under the butctter
knife, a vrowlimr swA ?er:imbiiinf pound trrcw

Sehool Hi rectors of ,rtage townshin. or rather a
portion of them, have done in the premises to de
, serve the httjh praise of thre two chiekenv
tn the 2."th day of July last there wa a letting
for the building of a pehool hou?e In this town-hip.
: There were pome ten or t welve proposals to do the
work. Kdward Me Hade. K.j.. n eitiren and tax
! payer ol the township, wa? the bwet bidder, and
I ot course the. "Hoard"" could not barefacedly deny
! him the iob. They therefore paid They would give
it to him if he would Mifw an article of agreement
stipulating that he would do the work before he
! w-mld reeeiro the pay ; and further enter Into
bond, vith penalty and good freehold securitr. for
the faithful ierformanee of contract, etc. To all
' of thi Mr. Mc. readily assented, and tendered
? pueh bail as any good busines? man would have
5 readily aeeited. tel.lng them at the same time
: that If the bail offered was not ?atif actrv. he
would give them additional security. At thi?
f Pt&ge of the proceeding? the eon tract or and the
i tew taxpayer present were told by the Pro-ddcnt
1 ot the Hoard that they might ret ire--that the Hoard
j wished to have it alTtheir own way. After turn
ing the ettizens out, they verv unceremoniou-ilv
threw Mc9dade oveHmrd. and" alo "Mei lough Sl
Weptbrook,T who were the next lowest bidders, and
allotted the contract to an outsider named 7-ong,
. to whom, it u tafi, the job was promised long b fore
; the letting. Thu? were the people of portage
township robbed of a portion of the;r taxe, and the
e:t?i ns in-ulted by giving the iob t- a ?t ranger,
j when taxpayers of the townphip were willing to do
it for less money. And thepe are the fellow that
are not given to "jobbery." Oh Shame! where i?
i thy blu-di ?
j Can such action of the people's agents bo de-
fended ? The taxpayer of the township think nt.
With regard to "Jacobite?" r,.ferenee to the
