Prices to suit the times are always the
rule and never the exception at V. S. Bar-
ker Bro's cheap cash store, and as the i
dull times are with them, as with everybody
else, Just now, they have reduced prices oh '
many of their goods in order to make tilings
lively, as will be seen by their big advertise
ment on this page of our paper. Hence if
for bargains the best you are looking around,
don't forget that with Barker & Bro., such
bargains ate found.
The store of Mr. P. M. Brown, of Wil
more, was entered by burglars at an early
hour (in Sunday morning last and despoiled
of a lot of hosiery, hats, etc. The nioney
drawer was also ransacked, but as it contain
ed little except papers of value to no one but
the owner, the thieves got nothing but their
trouble for their pains. Entrance to the
building was effected through a window in
the room over the store, which was reached
by the aid of a ladder.
The Tyrone Ilm-aM arose, pluenix-like,
from Its ashes last week and came to us as
full of vigor and yim as if there had been no
fire lown there for a twelvemonth, and none
to speak of still lower down for all eternity.
It is. however, somewhat stunted in size and
has donned a "patent outside," but both of
these makeshifts will be discarded assoon as
new material can be procured. Success to
the Herald and its proprietors, but confusion
to its puns and politics.
Milton Gunder, a young bricklayer at the
Cambria Works, Johnstown, fell "from the
top of one of the puddling-furnace stacks to
the roof of the rolling mill, and from thence
to a pile of cinders, fully thirty feet tn ail, on
Wednesday afternoon in consequence of the
giving away of a ladder upon which he was
standing, and 'had one of the bones in his
right ankle fractured, his head badly con
tused, lus nose partially split open, aiid his
body bruised in various" places.
Perrv B. Shaffer, of Hill Valley. Hunt
ingdon county, got out ot his buggy to walk
a short distance while on his way from his
father's residence to Mt. Cnioii. on the !th
inst., and was noticed soon after spitting
IiIimmI. which continued for a few minutes,
when he sank down on the road and expired
without a struggle. Deceased was aged :i
years and leaves a wife and three children,
lie had been subject all his life with asthma,
which finally developed into consumption.
John Tiay, aged 1.1 years, of firecn-burg,
shot himself in the abilomen the other day
while attempting to load a pistol, and was
found soon after in a precarious condition.
What makes this case the more notable is
that an older brother of young Bay was shot
when aliout the same age as the laib r, and
only recovered after a long and threatening
illness, while still another and only brother
of these two was run over by a train of cars
which he was attempting to board when
about 11 years old. A series of singular ci
inciilences. to say the least, which no Bay of
light can elucidate.
Twenty-eight head of fine sheep owned
by Mr. Joseph (iutwald, butcher, of this
place, were mercilessly slaughtered by dogs
on his farm in Cambria township, which is
without a resident tenant, on Wednesday of
last week. There were three death-deserving
t oiiines engaged in the bloody work, t wo
of which Mr. liufwald succeeded in tracing
to their respective owners, but as he seems
to accept his loss, and he says he would not
have taken Jinn for the sheep, with the phil
osophy of an anchorite, it does not look as if
the dogs wore to lie killed or their owners
made to pay the damages.
I During a heavy thunder storm which
prevailed in and about Altoona on Monday
last live children who had lecn playing in
the Catholic picnic grounds at the west end
of the city took refuge in a small wiwxlen
shanty, from which, however, four of them
were soon after frightened by the high wind.
1 The fifth one, a small girl, remained in the
building, and soon after a large tree was
blown down, and striking the shanty demol
ished it, but strange to say the little one, w ho
i was crouched in a corner and trembling with
' fear, escaped without even a scratch. It
: was nevertheless a fearful and an exciting
i experience for one so young,
i The Altoona Tribune says that in that
! city, "like everywhere else, the Bcpubliean
soldiers stand timilv by General Garfield."
How much truth there is in that kind of
bumcombe may le inferred from the fact,
i and it is a facti that there is at least one P.
! It. B. shop in Altoona where no less than
four Bcpubliean soldiers, employed on night
turn, who have with weiity-three other me
chanics and lalxirers avowed their intention
to vote for Hancock and English. Not much
of the "stand bv Garfield" in that kind of a
political straw, "is there, Mr. Tribune T And
, yet there is no reason to doubt that Bepubli
! can soldiers all over the country do their
"standing" in a!out the same pro tort ion.
Henry Vingling, aged about 4 years,
was prostrated by heart disease while cross
ing tlie Twelfth street hill, in the vicinity of
St. John's (Catholic) cemetery, Altoona, on
Tuesday morning hist, and died in alxnit an
hour and a nan inter ocing biuickco o m.
fatal malady. The deceased is said to have
lieen addicted to the use of stimulants, and
was also in the habit of using ether and oth
er anesthetics to relieve him from the effects
of his frequent potations. A pajier contain
ing a white powder was found Ixvside him
when picked up, ami this fact led to the su
positioii that he might have poisoned himself.
Dr. Christy, however, gave it as his opinion
that either" heart disease or an overdose of
ether had caused his death.
TheCarrolltown Vcir says that Claniont,
the partner of the missing pedlar. Louis
Mark, was in that place week lief ore last,
and while there stated that information has
been received by him from the friends of
Marks that he is "alive and his present aliode
is in Iowa, they having recently received a
letter from liiui: Clamont also states that
Marks' sudden disapjiearance was probably
due to the fact of him having borrowed a
sum of money he wanted to get away w ith.
He stated his intention of withdrawing the
information for murder which he had made
against Sweitzer and the Borings, who are
now in the Indiana county jail on suspicion
of murdering a man w ho, if this last story is
true hasn't been murdered at all.
number of young men in and about
Johnstown undertook on the r.th inst. to get
a big boom out of an old cannon which had
among others been condemned by the gov
ernment and sold to the Cambria Iron Co.
to be broken up and utilized as scrap iron,
but failing in their purpose the cannon was
taken back to the mill with the load still in
it There it remained until last Friday night,
when two boys named Gabert and Hoffman
attempted to pick out the charge with a piece
of iron, but soon tiring of so tedious a pro
cess, the first named, aged about 14 years,
fastened some wadding to a stick, set it on
fire and pushed it into the mouth of the can
non The natural result was that an explo
sion followed, and the stick HyiiiR out struck
and tore considerable flesh from young Ga
bert's hands, fractured his left wrist and bad
ly lacerated one of his legs, the ignited pow
er meantime burning his neck anettingd s
trig his clothing. With great presence of
mind, severely injured though he was, he
ran to a pond of water and jumped in. thus
quenching the flames which might otherwise
have made short work of him. His compan
ion, young Hoffman, was badly burned about
the head, neck, face and shoulders, but for
tunately his injuries are less serious than
painful.
At the reunion of the Pennsylvania Be
serve Corps, held at i I.urisi.urg oil Thursday
last, letters were read from a numiwr of
prominent officers and soldiers of the late
war, of whom the Democratic and Republi
can candidates for President were the most
conspicuous. The readingof the letter from
tien. Garfield whs received w hh loud acclaim,
as we are assured by John E. Scanlan. Eq.,
of this place, who with alxuit four hundred
of his late companions in arms took part in
the reunion, but when the letter of (Jen.
Hancock was reached the applause knew no
ImiuihIs. It was simply an outburst of un
controlled and uncontrollable enthusiasm,
and in that sense must lx accepted as an un
mistakable evidence of the fact that the sol
dier element of Pennsylvania is almost unan
inously in favor of tlie election of (General
Han'-oek to the Presidency
The confirmation services at St. John's
(Catholic; church, Altoona, on Sunday last,
were preceded by the: announcement on
part of the ;t. He'v. Bi.-hop that he had ap
pointed Lev. Father Byan, of Gallitzin, this
county, as pastor of said congregation a
place recently made vacant bv the dea'h of
the venerable and beloved Father John
Walsh. The reverend gertleman who is
thus to be transferred to a new field of labor
is aged about Co years, though still possessed
of the most robust health, and has been the
zealous and faithful pastor for nearly a nnar-
ter c.f a century of the churciiat Gallitzin, j
where he is greatly beloved and his departure ,
universally regretted byall classes of citizens, i
regardless of religious Oelief or personal pro-
clivities. But they are not tlie only people '
who have reason to regret the change, for '
his successor at Gallitzin, is likely to he ta- j
ken from a congregation which is entirely I
unanimous in enteitnining for him those I
feelings of affection and devotion which no t
pastor has ever labored more earnestly and ;
unselfishly to niei it. albeit his primary oh- j
ject lias always heen to serve God and do '
his whole duty regardless of the world's fa- i
vors or the world's frowns. Who the rev- '
erend gentleman is we are not now at liber
ty to state, though it is no secret among
those who love him ns a pastor and esteem
him as a man. J
A Little Giki, A r.nvci f.i by Ci iters
Men. Sylvan Iierket is a fresh and comely j
country lass of fourteen, well-developed for I
her age, and while she bears a good character j
is still possessed of a daring spirit. She is j
the daughter of J. ('. Berket, an honest, pros- '
perous farmer, living near Slianksville, Son- !
erset county, a little town of several hundred .
inhabitants. On Wednesday of last week
Boyd & Peters' cirr us and menagerie, a one-
horse show, the followers of which, it is
charged, make as much by their thieving as
by their performances, passed Shaiiksville.
By smooth words the showmen induced the
innocent country girl to accompany them, i
On Thursday the circus exhibited at Ligonier. j
Here the girl, who had been brutally and !
fiendishly treated, attempted to escape from
the wretches, but they were too shrewd for
her. On Friday the next exhibition was '.
given at La t robe. At each town the father, ,
who followed in pursuit of his unfortunate i
daughter, heard ol the bridal treatment she ,
received. At Greensburg he succeeded in .
arresting S. C. Peters, one of the proprietors,
A. W. Davis, ring-master, II. Marks and
Clark Bose, both attached to the show, for
abduction, but the wretches had succeeded in
spiriting awav the girl, so that she is still in
accessible to her father. The circus exhibit- j
ed at Blnirsville on Saturday, but only through ;
the indulgence of the Adams Express Agent
and others, who ran the risk of obtaining the
pay due them from the concern. The prison- l
ers are still confined in Greensburg jail. I

Gopf.v's Lapy Book fou Avct st comes
to us full of fresh, breezy matter, a welcome '
guest upon a midsummer day. From Dar- .
ley's exquisite picture to the eagerly sought
chitchat on fashion it is full of interest, and .
the closest scrutiny will fail t ) find one dull ;
page. The fashions fire so numerous that j
every taste must meet with its own require
ments, in preparing summer wardrobes for
home or the resorts of travellers in the hot I
season. Seaside co-t times and mountain ;
dresses, the simplicity of country dress, or .
the elaborate toilet of the watering place
belle, can all be ni ' lellcd from the illustra
tions given in Godey, and th clear directions i
accompanying them. The literary matter is
rich and varied, containing sparkling stories
and exquisite poetry from the pens of such
popular writers as hstelle Thomson, Chris
tian Beid. Junes B Marshall, S. Annie
Shields, tramline Mcriglii. and others. In
every department there i to be found matter .
valuable to the fair sex. for whom the maga
zine is especially ir.f-nded. and we are sure
our opinion will be indor-ed by every reader
of the beaut if nl number before us." We w ill

Bt. Bev. Bi-hop Trf;; administered the
Sacrament of Confirmation at the Church of
the Holy Name, in this place, on last Friday
forenoon, to some sixty-six children connect
ed with said congregation. The beautiful '
and impressive ceremony was preceded by a
Grand High Mass. in which Father ,
Davin. of Summitville, acted ns celebrant, i
Bevs. FatherMclIugh. of Wiiniore. and Byan. 1
of St. Augustine, ns deacons, and Bev. Fath
er Boyle, the resident pastor, as master of ;
ceremonies. After Mass. the Bt. Bev. Bishop
addressed the candidates for confirmation at
considerable length and in words of plain, 1
practical and we trust effective counsel, as
suring them of the many graces conferred
and the solemn obligations imposed upon ',
them by the holy sacrament he was about to I
admini-ter. IBs remarks were listened to j
throughout with marked attention by ali pros- j
cut. and there is certainly no reason to fear that !
any of those who were soon after confirmed :
in "the faith at the hands of the Bishop w ill j
ever prove recreant to the sacred and solemn
obligation they assumed never to deny their ,
religion or cease to obey its dictates. The j
ceremony was in the highest degree edifying. ,
and was witnessed by a large concourse of ,
people. j
Thi rsdat's Storm. We mentioned last 1
week that a horse, owned by Mr. C. B. Myers, i
of Cambria township, had Iwcn struck by
lightning and killed. Subsequent to this, on :
Thursday afternoon, the electric fluid inter
viewed a telegraph pole not far removed
from the jail. Captain Sam. W. Davis was '
on horseback and in close proximity to said
pole at that particular juncture, anI himself '
and horse were both perceptibly shocked by
the diffusion of the wayward electricity. A I
little child of Mr. Evan Michaels was "pros- .
trnted by the same stroke, and was only re- j
stored through quick and efficacious medici- I
nal methods. The barn of Mr. John .1. Davis, ;
of Cambria township, was the place of refuge ;
sought by himself and a couple of children j
about the same time. A holt is said to have I
descended on the building, but no mark was
made visible, though all three were prostra- j
ted. All in all, the electric fluid has been I
entirf ly too promiscuous of late to make peo
ple feel comfortable, though we are glad to I
say that, no very serious dama ge has yet been !
done. i

Another Ci.ru Meetino. Tn response
to posters and notice in our last issue, a fair
sprinkling of Democrats convened at the
Court House on Friday evening last for the
purpose of adopting constitution, signing
the roll, electing otlicers, and attending to
such other busin-ss as related t i the forma
tion of a Hancock and English Campaign
Club for Ebensburg borough and Cambria
township.
The constitution was tlm work of a com
mittee consisting of K. L. John ton. Eq.,
Wm. II. Seel del. Esq., and II. A. M-l ike,
who, in the absence of the first named, wes
called on to read the document, which, on
motion of John A. Blair, was adopted with
out dissent. . , .
This was followed by a call from the chair
for all who desired to do so to step up ana
si"-n the constitution an invitation which
was promptly accepted by thirty-four of
those present, whose names, with all others
that may in the meantime be appended, w ill
bo published after the next meeting of the
Club.
On motion of A. J. Bhev, the acting ofti
cers of the Club were continued until the
close of 'he campaign, when their duties and
the existence of the ( tub itself will as a
matter of course come to an end. Said offi
cials being one in excess of the number re
quired toli II the positions provided for the
by the constitution, in the matter of Secreta
ries, the writer hereof ceased to hold oflicir-1
relations with the organization, which, so far
as Mr. Bhey's motion was concerned, is offi
cered a follows : Becording Secretary, W.
C. Williamson; Corresponding Secretary,
Fergus Llovd.
On motion of II. A. McPike, Mr. II. A.
Shoemaker was unanimously elected as
Vice President of the Club.
The selection of Executive and Corres
pondent Commi.tees being next in order, the
chair was, on motion of F. A. Shoemaker,
Esq., empowered to select said committees.
fter consultation with several members of
the Club, President Creory selected the fol
lowing named gentlemen : Executive Com
mittee F. A. Shoemaker, chairman, John
A. Blair and Geo, C. K. Zuhm. of Ebens
burg, and Thomas Hoover and Wm. Martz,
of Cambria township. Corresponding Com
mitteee C. F. O'Donnell, chairman, A. J.
Bhey, C. J. Blair and M. D. Kittell, of Ebens
burg, and John Farren, Jr., of Cambria
township.
According to the provision of the constitu
tion, the Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee is also Treasurer of the Club, and
hence upon F. A. Shoemaker, Esq., devolves
the handling of the ducats, a comparatively
liberal supply of which were then and there
contributed by some three or four of the
members.
On motion, the Executive Committee was
Instructed to procure a suitable room for the
use of the Club.
At the suggestion of Wm. II. Sechler,
Esq.. F. A. Shoemaker, Esq., was requested
to hold himself in readiness for the delivery
of a speech at the next meeting of the Club,
which, on motion of C F. O'Donnell, was
fixed for Saturday evening, July ;jlst.
n motion adjourned.

of the Newport Ledger, and Irwin, of tne
Altoona IlmVual three of the four visiting
members of the. Executive Committee, J. V.
P. A., who convened here on the 10th inst.
had each something to say in his local depart
ment last week about "Ebensburg and the
delights they all profess to have experienced
during their Inief sojourn on the mountain
top, but. as there is a good deal of McPike
and his better half mixed up in the respective
stories, it would ill become us to reproduce
in our columns what they have so kindly
written. The following extract from the
Newport Isrlter, minus several very flatter
ing references to our-elf and wife personally,
which are indulged in to a greater or les de
gree by all of them, and for which our hum
ble thanks are hereby tendered, will serve
to slew the impressions they carried away
with them of Ebensburg and some of the
people with whom they casually came in
contact. In this connection, however, we
beg leave to assure Brother Shmm that our
"back action" can be run much more rapid
ly and less laboriously by two persons, and
more are not actually needed except to still
further expedite the work and at the same
time fold the papprs when the inside pages
are beingjpressed off. than any Washington or
other kind of hand press, which, by the way,
needs one "fly boy" much more Than cur's
does two, can be operated. But a truce to
this stray, and now let as make way for
what Shfom has to say on a topic he don't
di-cnss every day. So here it is, rend it who

SPECIAL LOW PRICES
TO SUIT THE TIMBSI
No use talkinc; about it, we have the goods and must get rid of them, even though we
should lose money in the operation. That means that we have an overstock of
Ladies' Fine Shoes and Gaiters,
Men's Heavy Slioes,
And MISSES', YOUTHS' and CHILDREN'S SHOES,
all styics, sizes nntl qualities, ami that we must close out the entire assortment before the
our new stock arrives, vvlikh will be about the 1st of Septenilier. Hence
we have determined for the NEXT FOUTV DAYS to offer
Shoes at Greatly Reduced Prices I
Our jiriees now are acknowledged to be much lower than anywhere else, so that the special
prices we offer to buvers at this time affords everybody a chance to get
BETTER BARGAINS IN SHOES
than ever before dreamed of in their philosophy. It will pay you, then, to buy your shoes
now, even if you do rot wear them for the next six months, as it is a fact of which
all should be aware that hoots and shoes will be higher next winter than
they are now ; therefore our loss will be your train. Tlie only pur
pose we have in reducing prices beyond all precedent is to
MAKE ROOM FOR OUR NEW STOCK,
which has already been ordered. So if you are open for a bargain now is the time ami our
store the place to wt more and In-tter floods for j our money than will probably
ever nniti have a chance to rnjoy. We alo have soine bargains in
DRY GOODS, RBIXAXTSOFCALICO,
SHOUT PIECES OF DRESS GOODS,
tc, &:, whicti we must and will sell rei;:ird'i'ss of what they etist us. In addition to
all those extraordinary bargains and many more in other departments, wc have
the larpest, most select and certainly the finest and best assortment of
Heaclv-jNiEfLcle Clotliiii" !
in Kbonshurc, and are prepared r.t all times to fumi-h either full or partial suits of wear
ing apparel for men or beys at lower prices than goods of like quality can be purchad at
any other ostab!ihment. More ilmn that, wt: have special bargains in seasonable clothing
just now for e verybody who wants to dress well at a very small outlay.
CALL AND EXAMINE OUR (I00DS AND LEAKX OUR PRICES!
