As the CarroUtown folks and possibly
those beyond, to say nothing of the people
living between this place and CarroUtown,
are in favor of a broad gauge railroad from
! here to Cherrytree, and as the citizens of
Ebensburg, if interested at all, are only
Interested In a narrow gauge road, Inasmuch
as a way station on a continuous line of road
from Cherrytree to Cresson is not a boon
worth seeking for, there Is naturally some
considerable curiosity manifested to know
what will be the outcome of the meeting to
be held at CarroUtown to-morrow afternoon.
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

Mr. O. II. Jeffries, traveling agent for

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

Mrs. Eiiza Crabb, or "Old Aunty" j

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

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

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

! 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

week, concluded their labors on Tuesday i
last by awarding the entire amount to the

from the Ao Era, refused, however, to give '
up the certificate of deposit, whereupon the I
widow brought suit against her and her at- !

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.

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.

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.

A special session of Court was held Mon-
day evening to dispose of the several appli

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

ant. who lived about a mile away, came to request ;
her to go wiin nun to wail upon his wile, who was

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

that the Court of ftuater Sesiotis wr.s not the

' this case, where, instead of showing that the de

i that he endeavored to remove a nuisance namely.

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

; 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

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.. Mr. Mich
ael Skelly, who was one of the very oldest
residents of Cambria county, died at his res
idence in Crovle townshio on last Wednes-
day week, at the advanced age of 04. When
; lie was a boy only oiuht years old Vie came
here from Maryland with his father, who is
snid to have been the third settler within the
I limits of our county. Mr. Skelly raised a
i large "family, and during his long liVeenjoyed
the confidence and ester-m of all who knew
! him. His remains were interred in the Cath
j o'.ie cemetery at Wilmore 0:1 Friday last.

i strength, in Ater's Sarsapatiii.i.a. It is
i the most potent of ail the alteratives to pnri
I fy the system and cleanse the blood. It pos

lates tho faded vitalities and purges out the
corruptions which mingle with the blood,
; promoting derangements and decay. We
j are assured by many intelligent physicians
j that this medicine cures beyond all others of
its kind, and we can fortify this statement

the announcement of (Jeneral i. T. Beaure

columns, relative to the agency in this vicini

by the late General J. U. Hood, entitled
"Advamt. asp Ketheat, Personal Ex

so freely advertised in all the papers, secular
and religious, are having a large sale, and
are supplanting all other medicines. There
Is no denying the virtues of the Hop plant,
and the proprietors of these Hitters have
shown great shrewdness and nbiiity in com
pounding a liitters whose virtues are so
palpable, to every one'8 observation. Tj
