A gentleman who has tested the invalu-

not only in cases where stock is sick, but !
they will find it very beneficial to new milch i
cows, as well as to the general appearance 1
of the horses and other stock. It. costs only I
2o cents and is guaranteed to effect a cure, j

A goodly number of our subscribers will
I this week receive a specimen copy of tl.e

I they will peruse it carefully and judue for
j themselves whether two dollars, with twen
ty cents additional for postaire when sent
outside of Cambria county, could be better
j invested than by subscribing for the Frek
jiix and Xeirg for one year. All others on

j will be the result. Send money to this office,
j Mrs. M. A. Condon, of Creson, found on
! last Sunday morning, on opening a bureau
i drawer well filled with articles for her child
J ren'a wear, that a bole bad been burned
i through the clothing almost to the bottom
of the drawer, anil also found a half burned
match on top of the weal ing apparal. How
the match got into the drawer is a mystery,
but the presumption is that a mouse carried
it there and then ignited the match by nib
bling at it. Be that as it may, it was certain
ly a narrow escape from a serious conflagra
tion, and the only way to account for the
miscarriage is that the fire did not get enough
air to fan it into a flame.
The Aitoona Tribune notes as one of the
strangest things which ever happened the
fact that a woman liv ing in that city who i
has one sound, vigorous tongue has been !
much alarmed by discovering that a new un- '
rulv member has starter! to grow from a po
sition a short distance in front of the original
articulator. It is perfect in every particular
and is growing rapidly !She thinks one
tongue is about as much as she has any use
for and is visiting a physician with the in
tention of having tlie intruder removed. Of
course the newly-developed member is a pa
culiar swelling at the rool of the tongue, but I
it certainly has taken
a most wonderful
: shape. '
, The Aitoona Mechanic notes the fact that j
the irieat-grand father of Mrs. Shoffner, wife ;
of John Shoffner, residing on Twelfth street,
I near Eighth avenue, in that city, accompa- j
i nied Lord Baltimore to this country, and I
, subsequently settled in Maryland. His !
I name was Captain Michael MeG-nire. He i
J afterwards removed to Loretto. This wis i
! eight years before Prince Galiit.in located j
! there. Mrs. ShofTner's grandfather, l.ichard
Mciiuire, (bom in Maryland,) went to Lo- I
' retto with his father and died there in the
Kith year of his age, Adaughterof Kicliard i

A few days ago, as we learn from the ;
, ( 'arrolltown iir., Mr. William (.las, of j
: Suiqtirhniina town. hip, was married to Mis j
i Agnes Hurley, of Carroll township. L P.
li.iker, of the irmer district, lied the i
connubial knot, but it seems the parents of
. tin young lady were upxie4 to the match
: and that th ceremony had been performed .
without their knowledge. Acneg is only ,
a'oi!t seventeen years of age, and therefore ,
I s! i'l subject to the control of her natural
guardians. The 'Squire was threatened ,
with prosecution by the old folks on a charge i
of peif.inuiiig the marriage service for a ,
j minor, but the cao was compromised ty .

I A full-grown buck was captured by two i
little dears of the feminine persuasion at j
flarre Forge, Huntingdon county, on Satur- i
day last. It seems that the little girls were i
plajingon the i e at that place, when they
were suddenly startled by the appearance of
a large buck, which hail Ihjch pursued by
ilogs and was seeking safety in flight.
Beaehins the ice the frightened animal was
unable to proceed further owing to the slip
jiory surface, and observing the predicament
in which it was placed, savs the Aitoona
Sun, the little girls plucked np courage, cap
tured the animal ami endeavored to take it
home with them. Doubtless they would
have been unsuccessful had not assistance
arrived ; however, it was finally secured and
is now in captivity.
Tuesday was Washington's birthday.
In accordance with law the iTid of February
is a legal holiday, and the banks were closed
for business, though there was no percepti
ble diminution of the selling over counters or
the shutting down of books in the Court
House. Co. A, in full uniform, paraded at
headquarters at the hour of 2 o'clock p. m.,
and the masterly evolutions of that splendid

by bu sixteen year-old daughter. In the af

wherein is confined young Fred. Stalb, the
only unpunished member of the gang who
committed the foul deed. Prior to entering
the prison. Jailor Griffith was requested to
give no token to the daughter as to the pre
cise cell occupied by Stain, but, in the grand
rounds, with unerring precision she Minted
out that individual as one of those who as
saulted her father on that eventful night and
nearly murdered him. Her testimony, if
given in this shape, will prove a feature of
the case of Stalb, which will come before
Court for determination next month.
A, correspondent at Gallitzin writes to
say nat at the recent election In that boro'
tl-tf names of fico candidates for Inspector
were printed on some of the tickets that
some of the voters neglected to erase the
name of one of the Inspectors that all such
tickets were thrown out of the count by the
election board and he asks whether the ac
tion of the board was legal. We answer him
by saying that it was the duty of the board
to coiint all the other names on such tickets,
but not, of course, to count the inspectors.
The tickets were in legal form except that
they contained fico names for an office for
which each elector could only vote for one
person ; but a blunder of that kind can't
destroy the right of the other candidates on
the same ticket to be voted for and to have
their votes counted. The tickets were
worthless as regards the office of Inspector,
but were valid as to the other officers named
on them.
The Pittsburgh Lender tells of aT. R. R.
employe who married a Johnstown lady
some two years ago, and commenced house
keeping in" Pittsburgh. Soon afterward she
learned that he had already a wife and five
small children li vim!, and the next move on
bis part was to place the little ones in charee
of the woman he had so cruelly deceived. ,
The onlv excuse offered for the deception j
practiced lay in Ihedeciaration tl.at bis legal
wife wasn't a good woman, ami lie couldn't
live with her. Then he too Mck. and his
poor victim struggled as bet she might to
obtain a living for him and his children, but

The r. It. R. versus The S. A C. Tl. R.
The "paper book" which the Pennsylvania
P.ailioad presented in tlie Supreme Court, in
session in Philadelphia, a few days ago, in
the injunction ea- in which the Somerset
Cambria liailroadis defendant, recited among
other matters that the latter never asked for
the consent of plaintiff to occupy the ground
which that corporation claims, but aggres
sively, and in defiance of tlie rights of sid
plaintiff, entered upon said property, with
out even tendering or filing a bond ; and fur
ther, that the occu fancy of the Stonycreek
Feeder property by defendant was not essen
tia! to the entry of the road into Johnstown,
as there were ami are other avenues of ap
proach almost as convenient and probably
less expensive, excepting for the fact that
route was already graded along the line of
the Feeder. The plaintiff goes on to say:
"Without either the ability or disposition to
prevent the defendant company from enter
ing Johnstown, but with the single purpose
of protecting the large valuable properly ami
franchises purchased from the; State, cover
ing th-e now urtHsed, but expected soon to be
used, right of way and appurtenances of the
main line lying between Pittsourgh and Phil
adelphia, was this bill filed and is this con
test now pursued "
The decision of the Court has not yet been
announced, although an opinion in the mat
ter in dispute is looked for at an early day.
I Death of a Estimable Tol'-so Man.
i Mr. Peter M. ISuck, fourth nn of Hon.
John Huck, of Carrolltown, whose serious
' illness was not"-d in this department of our
paper last week, died at the residence of his
father at ti o'clock on Saturday afternoon,
aged about 2t years. The disease which
! caused his death was a typhoid type of
j pteuro-pneumonia, and bis two brothers,
1 Urs. M. J. and James Huck, both of whom
' are skillful phosicians, concur in saying that
' it was the worst case of the kind they have
ever encountered, or heard of. Tlie deceas

, emplary and well doinn young a regular
; ana devout communicant in the Catholic

gaged to be married to a very amiable and
i excellent young lady of Carrolltown, Miss
! Ella Walter, who, like his other relatives
' and friends. Is almost frantic with grief at
i his sad and untimely death. That the Al

Li ability of Townships. Tlie following
from an exchange will be of interest to not a
few of our readers :
T here are numerous Instances of public roads
rnnnlne clos. to the edifc of tome steep embank
ment or declivity, without bein properly enclosed
bv fvnecs or even without any fenee or barrier at
ail on the side of the road nearest to the declivity.
At these points common prudence rfcunlres extra
precaution in order to ensure the safety of trav
elers, and It would be well to call the attention of j
townships thromrh which such roads run to their I
liability for accidents which may occur from the
unsate condition ol such highways and without any
nesfliirence on the part of the driver. A recent de
cision ot the Supreme Court of this State ,firr$ the
liability 'on toicnx!i ipx. The faets in the ea-e do- i

i tlie accident occurred runs alonir the side of a hill,
and is bounded oo one side by a fence enelosInK a

'ourt. which decided that II a public road, running !
tlironirh a township, is so danaremus by reason of
it-s proximity to a precipice that common prudence
requires extra precaution in or-ier to secure safety
to travelers, the township is bound to use such ;
precaution, and the omission to do so Is rea: licence.

I n another ease the Supreme Conrt also decided

Muperrisors und townhip? should take heed and
put their roads and Tiridires in a condition so as to
ensure the safety of travelers and save damages.

Eoitor Freeman Since our bnroneh election,
on the lath inst.. our cittzens have been freely dis
cussincr the law that governs election boards, and
as a ureat diversity of opinion exists on the subject
we would be tilad to know what the latest revised
statutes say on thi point. The names of all the
borouirh officers to be voted lor were contained on
one sheet, some of which hiivinir Jud(?o and two
Inspectors, thereby Kivinjf the voter the lreedora
of choice, were put in the ballot-box without the
name of one of the Inspectors beinir erased, and of
course to that extent the ballot was illegal . Now
the questions in controversy are. Should the en
tire sheet, containing the names of all the borough
officers, be destroyed ? or was it optional with tne
election board to" either destroy all the ticket or
only that portion of it affected by the act ot the
nealiirent voter? Some etirht or ten o( these spu
rious ballots were thrown out entire, thus reducing
to that extent the vote east for all the candidates
on the ticket, and I don't know but what the board
was justified in so doimr. It is for sited informa

teaelier aland Is oit?n removed In this way that
is. by taking the scholars away from the school
and thereby leaving the teacher without any foun

from a grocer that the person appiving for thecards
has bo ught of him on that day at least seven bars
ol Kobbins' Electric Soap, witti prlee p:;id for same.
All applying In this manner will receive the lull
set ol seven cards gratia hy mail. This will Insure
ns that our friends and patrons get their share of
these beautiful designs, although it In no manner
repavs ns for the cost of the cards. Your giMccr

ol seven bars of it at one t'me will secure for yon
