The Curwensville Times compliments the Freeman by.saying that It is ono of the newsiest county papers on its exchange list, but administers a dose of ipecac with the compliment by adding, "barring its abomi nable politics."

The Curwensville Time tells of a wo man named Mrs. Keller, aliat Mrs. Gardner, alias several other names, who played the raised check game qult successfully on the bank in that place not many days ago. The check was originally drawn for the sum of four dollars, but by a little scientific manipu lation, which the Time fully describes, the feminine fraud succeeded in raising the amount to forty dollars, thereby swindling the bank out of the difference between four dfdlars and fotty dollars. Officers were put on the track of the fair swindler, but at latest accounts she had not been captured. Michael McGonigle, of Lilly's Station, who was committed to jail not long since for brutally abusing one of his children, but who was subsequently released on bail, his mother becoming surety for his appearance at Court to answer, is once more in durance vile this time for an aggravated assault committed on his mother-in-law, who resides at Lilly's Station and whose name we understand to be Mrs. Wyme. Michael evidently stands very much in need of a thorough reconstruc tion, and it would probably be a blessing to him and all his relatives, to say nothing of the community at large, if he should get all the law will allows in such cases. A meeting of the Catholics residing In and about Lilly's Station will le held at Leahy's hall at 4 o'clock on next Sunday afternoon, for the purpose of taking steps towards the erection of a church edifice in that village, the people there having become lie is next in order. a - r- ! f. :. printer iie.mcd Wm.

The meeting has been called by a committee of St. Peter's Society, and such is the interest manifested by al' parties in terested in the enterprise that there seems little reason to doubt but what the project will be carried through to a successful com pletion, and that too at an early day. Mr. O. II. Jeffries, traveling agent for the Ohio Valley Mutual Protection Associa tion, paid our town a visit thisweek, and, as will be seen by advertisement elsewhc-re, in duced our tailor friend, Mr. B. O. Ocschger, to take the agency for this county. On the plan offered by this company there is scarce ly any person who can't afford t- indulge in life insurance, and we therefore bespeak for Mr. Jeffries, who, by the way, is a thorough gentleman, and, like oursclf, sports an illu minated top knot we bespeak for him, we say, and the Association he represents the kindly consideration of all who are open to j conviction on this very important subject. i Mrs. Eiiza Crabb, or "Old Aunty" j Crabb, a3 she was familiarly "ailed in our j young days, a colored woman residing In j Hollidayshurg, was awakened from her slum- j hers a few nights ago by some midnight ; marauder stumbling over her kitchen stove and after striking a light, the old lady proceed- i ed to investigate, and the result was that she ' found her bureau drawers had been ran- , sacked, hut whether or not anything of special value was taken the Standard fails to report. Meantime the burglar scooted out ; and made his escnpe, evidently impressed : with the id"a that Crabb catching wasn't the j healthiest kind of business to engage in. An Elder township correspondent of the CarroUtown .Wir stated last week that a i protracted meeting under the auspices of ; the United Brethern Church was in success ful operation at Pleasant Hill, the new name given to that interesting locality long know n as Bugtuwn, and that many conversions had i taken place. If this is so, and the hard cases In Hugtown who have been converted will only "stick," the Court of Quarter Sessions of tins county will hereafter lose most of its attraction. The conversion of Bugtown, even though it should be only partial, would cer tainly be a big thing, and one long to be re membered as an important event in the his tory of Northern Cambria. Mr. Anthony Anna, of Chest townsnip, who came here the early part of this week to serve on the Grand Jury, wa called home on Tuesday afternoon by the severe illness of his wife, whose condition at that time was said to be exceedingly precarious, but who, we sincerely hope, lias ere this experi enced a change for the better. Before leav ing for home, Mr. Anna, like a public spirit ed and patriotic citien as lie is, and acting on th.e principle that our present court house Is a disgiace to the county and an eyesore to everybody, voted for its condemnation, in J which, as will he seen by an item else where, he was subsequently sustained by a i majority of the Grand Jury. David Burket and wife, of Plottsville, ; Susquehanna township were brought to jail I here on Sunday morning last and locked up to await trial at the June term of Court for i subornatton of perjury, inasmuch as they i : induced a girl named Melinda Bowers, an ; ; illegitimate daughter, reports say, of the wo : man above named, to charge on oath an old ' ! and respected citizen of that locality a man j 1 aged not less than 75 or 80 years with being j ; the father of n illegitimate child to which j ! she recently gave birth. Such, at least, is ; i the story told, the further assertion being ; made that the child in question is the third one that Melinda Bowers, who is represented ! as a poor, weak-minded creature, has been : obligert to find a father for. The referees chosen at Lancaster a few j days ago to decide the contest between the ; widow and sister of James W. Tthey, de- i ceased, for over $10,000 deposited in a bank 1 in that city, as noticed in these columns last i week, concluded their labors on Tuesday i last by awarding the entire amount to the widow. The sister of deceased, as we learn i t from the Ao Era, refused, however, to give ' up the certificate of deposit, whereupon the I widow brought suit against her and her at- ! torney for trover and conversion. Thev WoN-DTTRFrT, Stohies. "Uncle" Dave Trexler, of Galiltzin township, never well, hardly ever comes to Ebensburg without being' loaded up to the muzzle with one or more stories which nothing short of his well known veracity would induce anybody to believe. True to his record, he appeared in our office on Tuesday morning last, and in reply to the usual query about the news in his neighborhood, staggered us with a few wonderful yarns, not all of which are strictly in season, but all of which will none the lets bear telling ; and as thsy are vouched for by Mr. Trexler, who avows his ahiityto prove every one of them, if need be, there need be no hesitation about accepting them as liter ally true. The, first of these stories relates to three turkey hens in White township, although Mr. Trexler opened up with only one, which he assure'! us had been laying eggs all win ter. Doubts1eing expressed by a gentleman present in regard to this wonderful news from Turkey,' Mr. Trexler stood not upon the order of his going but went at once and hunted up two reputable citizens of said township, who were in attendance at Court, and who soon after returned with him to our office, and not only verified his statement, but assured us that Instead of one turkey they had personal knowledge of the fact that not less than three turkeys owned by Mr. Mathias Kessler, of White township, have at no time failed, not even for a s ngle day, during t lie last two months and a half to 'shell out" three eggs one for each turkey every twenty-four hours. More than that, one ot the witnesses called bore testimony to still another fact, and that was that a number of geese owned by a certain citizen of White township, whose name has escaped us, com menced laying on or about the holidays, but whether or not thev have kept it upeversince he was not prepared to say. This of course left no loophole for our "doubting Thomas," whose name is not Thomas at nil, to crawl out at, and the only eggs-planation he had to make was that this is an eggs-ceptional kind of a w inter and that such eggs-traordin-ary proceedings on part of the turkeys and geese aforesaid might in that way lie eggs pliined, although it would be eggs-acting en tirely too much to eggs-pect any one to be lieve that such a thing was possible during a regular old-fashioned w inter in this region. Sio much for so much ; and now let us re I vert to a couple more of Mr. Trexler's won ; derful stories, w hich, as already stated, are I somewhat out of season, but none the less ' worthy of credence on that account. The I first of these relates to a remarkable yield of ! corn which rewarded Mr. T.'s labors during i the past summer, the story being that on a ! portion of his farm, and not a very small por j tion of it either, ti e cornstalks averaged fourteen feet in height, the ears fourteen in ! ches in length, and the leaves or blades on the stalks eight inches in width. That's i corns-talk enough, we should say before we j leave the subject, for all who are willing to I give ear to the statement, a- most of our I readers, wc have no doubt, will be disposed I to do. The next story from the same source, and the last one we shall impose upon a pa i tient public at this time, is in regard to a ic I niarkable yield of oats which Mr. T. gives the figures'to verify and claims to be able to j produce witnesses to substantiate. He says I that last spring, Messrs. John ami James i Gallagher, of Gallitzin township, sowed sev i en bushels of oats on a farm owned by their mother in A llegheny township, the ground covered being not more than three acres, and j when threshing time came he ("Mr. Trexler) threshed the oats as it came from the field, ! and is w illing to be qualified that there were j two hundted and five bushels of clean oats, or a veritable yield or sixty-eignt and one third bushels to the acre. All which we sub mit to our farmer friends to believe or other wise, as the spirit moves them. Doings m Court This Week. The March term of our county court opened at 11 o'clock on Monday forenoon of the present week, and continued in session until 2 o'clock, p. m., on Wednesday, Jndge Dean presiding and Associates Thomas and Flan agan on the bench. The first business in order was the calling of the names of the Grand Jurors, all of w hom answered to their names, two of the number, Messrs. Jas. A. Gray and A.J. Haws, beine subsequently, however, Jexeused from serving. Then fol lowed the list of Traverse Jurors, five of whom, to wit : Messrs. John Freidhoff, Levi Wingard, Samuel Kuhn, David Creed and James Tittle, were allowed to depart hence the same day, the reason assigned by each of them for seeking the privilege being esteem ed good and sufficient by the Court. After this the various constables of the county made their returns and the several conservators of the peace chosen at the last election presented their bonris and were sworn in, each to serve a term of one year from the first of April next. These and other preliminaries, such as the. reading of the list of attorneys in order to afford an opportunity for the presenting of motions, petitions, etc. Court adjourned until 2 o'clock, p. m. MOSDAT AKTEHNOON. Upon reassembling at the hour indicated, District Attorney Kose moved for nolle prose qtris in such of the following cases as are not marked continued : Com'th vs. 'William Carney, mayhem; nettled upon payment ol costs by defendant. .'oui'lh vs. lavid 'VV'ateon. surety of the peace, and assault and hattery ; settled on pa; inent of costs by delendant.

This ense ; was tricil at the last term of Court, but the jnrv failed to njrree. The evidcnee developed in the present trial was the same as at th' former one. I Marcus Haines was teen to aliiiht from the War i Iaeiiifcr train at Johnstown on the 10th of Sep"- ' tcmt'cr last, in an Intoxicated condition and hav- j ins with him an old carpet-bag.

He was about Ii or 30 feet from Mallatt when the latter started for him on a kind l a run. When he struck I!hts, the latter dropped immediately.

Ail assault ami buttery with the undoubted inter.ti'in of conitnitt ing an outrage on a Oei inan wnman rininert Rouirh, wife of Mr. David Koucrh, of Gallitzin, this county, was niiiilo by some unknown scoundrel on Friday evening !.:st. Jt seoms that Mrs. Koueh, who resides on tlia outskirts of the borough, was tin I er way hon from the store of Mr. Frank Christy, and when she pot within a slmrt di-tanee of her residence .-,l e was con fronted by a bi uie in human shape, who struck her a heavy blow on tho side of th.e head with an oak stave, knocking her down and inflicting a wound about two indies in lenirth. Fortunately the Mow was not se vere enough to render her insensible, and as she yelled lustily her outcries attracted the attention of some of the neighbors, who has tened to her assistance, the da.itai diy wretch Wiio'coininitleil the assault meantime, making go"I his escape, the niirht being too dark fur any one to intercept him, or even for Mrs. Kougli to recogiii7e him, it such a thing were possible, tho presumption being that lie. was a stranger and therefore unknown to his victim, 'though some there are who think lie is not so much of a stranger as he ought to be in that locality, lloweyer that may be, Mrs. Kougli was taken home almost insensi ble and a physician summoned, who attend ed to her wound anil otherw ise administered to her I'hvsicnl comfort. At latest accounts tin; dastardly scoundrel who committed the deed was still at large, but it is to bo hoped that justice will not slumber uytil it has overtaken and secured for him the punish ment lie so richly neserves. Messrs. Jon's Lrnwio & Sryss, of Centre county, came here on Friday last and con eluded negotiations with Messrs. Barker, F.vans & James for the purchase of the F.bensburg Woolen Mill, which they design to take possession of next week. The amount paid for the property was $.1,0m, which is more than double the sum the mill and all that thereto pertains, including about fifty acres of land, cost the late own. -is less than a year ago, though since then consid erable new machinery has been put into the establishment, while more than enough, pro bably, lias been realized in the way of profits on the work done to cover this outlay. Still the property is worth all and more than all that the Messrs. Ludwig have paid for it, ! and as they are all .thoroughly acquainted with tho wooU n manufacturii.g business, and are enterprising, industrious and in i every way competent for the work before them. Ebensburg will have ample cause to i rejoice at the advent of such worthy citizens. I I'ostmaster James, one of the late owners, 1 tells us that it is the intention of Messrs. , Ludwig fc Sons a v comprising three i partners to run the mill to its fullest capaci j ty an.l cive work to not less than twelve ' hands, six of whom are members of the I,ud ! wig family.

PKATH tlF AN Ol.I C'AMnl'.IAN- IN KANSAS. Mr. Michael Storm died nt St. Mary 's Mis sion. Kansas, on the lsth of February last, in the 07th year tif his aire. He was a son of John Storm, who came here from Adams county at a very early day and settled near where Loretto now stands. For many years after the completion of the old Portage rail road, Mr. S. worked in the "riggers' loft" at the Summit. In the spring of lSiiSlic sold the place on which h lived, in Allegheny township and removed to St. Mary's, Kan sas. He was an industrious, hard-working man while he lived in tins county and con tinned so in Ids late western home. Ilis character was blameless in every respect and he died as he had lived, a consistent and ex emplary member of t lie Catholic Church. May he rest in peace. ! MONDAT EVKNINO. A special session of Court was held Mon- day evening to dispose of the several appli j cations for tavern, eating house and quart I licenses. This work had scarcely been com I meneed before Chal. ). Dick, Ksq., arose i and presented remonstrances against no less j than fifteen anplicants for" license from , Johnstown and vicinity. These ren.on- ' I strnnces, like the several applications, were , j read aloud by Judge Dean, but the Court I reserved its decision. All the other applica- i i tions, except that of Joseph Weiser, whose j jetition was refused because he does not oc- i ; cupy the premises for which license was i ! asked, were thereupon granted. j j TUESDAY FOUKNOON. '; i Com'th vs. Albert Ileum. The ind ictment in this j cc.se charged the defendant with assault and but- ; i tery with intent to commit rnpe upon Miss Sarah i .tune Pryer. in Yoder township, orrthe evening of -Nov. SOU;. i:. Miss Pryce testified that at the ; . time stated she was living at Cyrus Oulidlesberg- j it's t'u.it on the evening in question the detend- ant. who lived about a mile away, came to request ; her to go wiin nun to wail upon his wile, who was ili th it she at first refused, but aiterwards con- 1 sented. and while on the way Ream nndo indecent i proposals to her, which she Indignantly rejectc.'. ; ! whereupon he seiied her and choked her, declaring t his intention to commit an outrage upon her per- ' Pun: she. however, still resisted and finallv sue- ' I ceded in making her escp.pe. The details of the ' 1 testimony were ol the usual character, and riot f.t , i to be published. The defence rested upon the ad- j ' missions ol the prosecutrix ns to the nature of the ; conversation which occurred between the parties ' i previo"S to the assault, as well as upon the testi- I mony of the defendant himself, who admitted that he made the pros.ils testified to by Miss pryce. but i j that he design..) when he found that the gill was j . not what he supposed her to be. Although the j Court Instructed the jury that If they found the . detendr.nt not guilty ot 'attempt to commit rape ! j they could find him irivtty upon the second count '. in the Indict ment, which charged htm with simple 1 I assault and battery. '1 he deieu-Jant was acquit re 1 ! j of both charges, hewever, though he was required i to pa' tha costs i Com'th vs. Yost Hochstein. indicted forcommit j ting a nuisance. The testimony In this case show- j I ed that defendant, who is superintendent of the Conemaugh and Somerset Turnpike Co.. placed ' I Some finely broken stones upon a bad piece of road ; on Morris street. Johnstown, contrary to a cerlan ! I ordinance l..rbi.i.ling the plucing of stoivs. etc.. , nimn any of the streets or alleys of said borough . without permission Irom the authorities. In de- fense. it was claimed that the portion of the street I repaired by ltoehtein wa- a part of the turnpike, J which wa-T In existence before that lo-alily had ' been embracci within the borough li 'ntts, and that ; thcreforo the fr.inchiscs of Ihe company owning ; the tur:pikc had never been alienii'ed from the ; company. The oloe-t of this prosecution was t i lest the respective claims of the borough and ot the : turnpike company to said street. The Court held that the Court of ftuater Sesiotis wr.s not the I proper place to try the title to the street, and in ' this case, where, instead of showing that the de i tendant had committed a nuisance It was shown i that he endeavored to remove a nuisance namely. the ruts in the street. by filling them with stones : there was really nothing for the Court to pa s upon except to instruct the ury that the body of the of ; tense had not been made out. and that the defend ', ant should be acquitted, which was done. the boulders, between the lamp-post and a big square stone about two feet long and ten Inches through. He fell pretty h;ir.l he grahDed the lamp-post with his arm, nnd then started to swinr around with lull toree and finally fell. Louis Wrights testified to about the same fucts, and also that he heard Oibbs cay, "Ocn'lmen. let tne alone," when West and Cuthbert went to pick him up. .Tacr.h Hrlndle and David Strouse. policemen of Conemaugh horouuh. testified to taking (iibbs from Helrigel's to Ihe Johnstown lock-up in a wairon. Thev supposed Mm tone dead drunk. John T. Harris testified that he saw (Jit.l.s atthe l'Kk-np at 7 o'clock in the evening. He was lying in tho ell on a bunk, breathing and snoring ap parently asleep. At 11 o'cloek be wns In the same condition. At 4 o'clock ncTt morning he was tjil In the same condition : but when witness went In ! at T o'clock In the morning he found Hbi s cold and ; stiff in death. t Ir. ico. A. Zimmerman testlfl'd to an autopsy I performed upon the body the d:y after the blow i was struck. T'pon removing the scalp and sawing off the top of the skull, a four ounee clot of coagu- j .ated blood was found pressing upon tic brain ; over tiie left orbit, and the interior loNe ot the brain lncrrnted. The skull its-elf was terribly i ! fractured, forming a eonv.mnute.i inicturc. The skull ar.d plcee- were here shown to the jury. In j ! the opinion of the witness the fraeture w.-'S snlfc- I ! cient to cause death. The fracture was su"h c.s ; might have been produce-i' y a blow from a le.-avy i Instrument, such as a pick-h:ndie or shore!. j ' i'roff-rrnmi:ifd. The pk-ce of bone above the ; ! left orbit was driven in far enough to pioro the ' grey matter ol the brain. I do not think such a Iraeture as we found could haro been produced by f the fall ol a drunken man. It Is sa'd that drun j ken men do not fail so heavily ns s .bcr ones, be ; cause they make uo resistance." i This closed the evidence for the Common wealth ; and Capt. Kuhn opened for the de i fense. G. AY. McGarey, Win. F. Uaupt, ! Herman Ilaniner, Ibmiel Hamilton. John T. ; Harris and John Hest were called to testify 1 to the uniform good character of the delen.f ant for peace and good order, which they did quitted upon i unhesitatingly. (n edncsday moniing, iiobert l.itzingt r, a Johnstown policeman, was called and tes tified to findine two clots of blond jn the cell where iiibhs had lain one of them on the floor, probably half a cup full. John IJest was recalled to testify to the rouch condition of the ground ovei which ("ibbs travelled after receiving the blow. T he certificate of honorable discharge of Mallatt from the army was also put in evi dence. The jury wns sent out at a few minutes after 12 o'clock on Wednesday, and returned nt ten minutes to 2 o'clock w ith a ven.ict of "(Juiity of murder in the second degree."

The name of ex-PherirT Tlauinor, of Johns- ; t.iwn, is prominently mentioned In comiec- ,' tion ivith the Demoeratie nomination for ; State Senator from tV.ls district. Our towns- i man. F. A. Shoemaker, Fsq., is also credited j witn having started a boom of his own in the i sure direetion. and it is even intimated that Tion. Jj. T. Woodruff wouldn't object to j eros;, the ha',1 from th.e House to the Senate j chamber at Harrlsbur?, provided the Demo- j erats of the 3.r.th Senatorial district fhoitld j esteem him tho right man for the place. All ( which is as it should be. provided, of course, j ti e best man wins in the end. ; Just ice Kinkead was summoned on Mon- : day evening to perform a marriage ceremony , at the Cambria House, in this phicc, between . Samuel I.nther and Sarah Reynolds, botti of . whom, ko believe, hail from .Franklin bor- ongh. After the ceremony had been duly performed the. fair bride was t-ken to jail to nwait trial for infanticide, but as thellrand Jury subsequently ignored the bill against her, she was released from confinement the net day, whereupon the newly wedded pair, to use a figure of speech exceedingly thread bare, soon after wnt on their way rejoicing, or words to that cfb-et. Joy b it 11 thm forever and aie. to occupy when ! were accordingly arrested and given a hear- ir.cr. the defense meantime contendini that the refusal to give up tho certificate was a mere breach of contract, nnd that civil action was all that was necessary. Later in tiie dny the court decided that the cttstodian of the certificate should give security in the sum of f 20,0 a), which we presume she had no trouble in obtaining, until tho matter con Id be finally adjudicated. It has been an open secret for several weeks past that Mr. Geo. C. K. Zahm. of this place, intends, if possible, to get away with Hon. John Ferdon or any othT man in this end of the county who aspires to legisla tive honors, but it has only been developed this week, we be.ieve, that Hon. L. D. Woodruff, of the lower end, is to have "a foe man worthy of his steel" in the person of Mr. John M. King, of Johnstown, who was "hooping it up" pretty lively in this locality on Monday and Tuesday of this week. There can be no doubt about Mr. King's democracy, as there is ce-itahily none about that of his competitor, and if he shonld be chosen to fill the place to which Mr. Woodruff aspires, there Is no fear but what lie will do his duty as intelligently and faithfully as noy of his predecessors. That is not saying, however, that he will be or should bo nominated in preference to Mr. Woodruff, whose record as a legislator Is as good as any o? them, but who may possibly have to take a back seat all the same. More than that, some 1 facetious folks may think it the province of I King to administer laws not mnk them. A Vkxkkadle Citizen I.onf..
