two hundred pounds, owned by Mr. F. II.
Barker, of this place, gave birth a few days
ago to no less than four lambs, all of which,

the effort that she had to be killed to put her
out of her misery.

Among the welcome visitors to our office
on Tuesday last were Poor Directors Hora
baugh and Easly and ex-Sheriff Ryan. The
two first named had been attending the reg
ular monthly meeting of the Board, and the
latter, as will be seen by an item elsewhere,
was adding another good slice to his already
large area of real estate in and about Johns
town. We are glad to note that Mr. A. J Greer,
late of the Altoona Tribune, has transferred
his allegiance to the Daily Sun, of the same
city, which will henceforth shine the bright
er for the brilliant constellation, editorial
and reportorial, which it has just acquired.
There is no seat jonrnalistic in the front or

Vou needn't take our word for it, but it
is a fact none the less that Freidhoff has
made such a sweeping reduction in prices
that anything he has to sell can now be
bought cheaper for cash than at any time
during the winter. Go to his store as quick
as you can and see if big bargains don't
await every man, woman and child who
goes there to buy on the cash-paying plan.
A regular meeting of te Poor Board
was held at the Poor House Tuesday after
noon, with all the members present. The
question of heating the House by steam was
discussed, but held over till another meeting
for final decision. A proposition was read
from an Eastern firm to furnish the necessa
ry boiler, pipe, etc., at a cost of about $3,000.
The rest of the business transacted was of a
routine nature.

his duty, in justice to his fellow citizens, to

they will find it very beneficial to new milch
cows, as well as to the general appearance of
the horses and other stock. It costs only 25

We learn from T. R. Seanlap, Esq., of
Carrolltown, that Mr. John Xa;le, of Elder
township, who retired to bed apparently in
good health on Friday nieht last was found
dead by his wife's side when she awoke on
the following morning. Mr. Nagle w a
farmer, aged about seventy-five years, and
was highly respected by all who knew him.
I He was an elder brother of fr. M. J. 'agle,

his soul rest in peace.
I We hasten to withdraw the credit given
j to Wilmore in our last Issue for that big
i sleighing party which came hither on Tues
, day of last week, and hand it over to the vil
i lage of Summerhill, in Croyle township,
j where it properly belong. TIm party was
; gotten up by Mr. John Brown, of the latter
place, and it Is no more than right that we
should "do it up Brown" by making a note
; of the fact. Summerhill and winter hil arity
; seem so antipodean in their natures that we
i may be excused for having got things a little
mixed. We Wilmore careful be in the future.
1 Our young friend Mr. George D. Weber
has severed his connection with the Foster
I Ilouse as clerk, and to day (TI ursday) as
sumes the position of business manager in
the extensive mercantile establishment of
X. J. Friudhoff, on High street. We predict
he vill give the same iatiofaction there as in
the former position, as well as win many
new customers. We are nnsdvised as to
the intentions ot Mr. Edmund Miller, the re
tiring manager, respecting the future, but
as he is a gentleman in. every sense of the
term, we trust his lines may breast in pleas

close out her stock of embroideries, laces,
and many other articles In that line, prelim
inary to the purchase of a pew stock of
goods for her grand Spring opening, that
she is selling everything at actual cost. It
should likewise occnr to all persons indebted
to Mrs. Jones that now is the acceptable
time for settlement, and she certainly hopes
that they will not be too long about it.
We ae iufortned, and are glad to hear,
that Mr. Richard J. Hughes has it in con
templation to sink a shaft this summer on
the farm of his father, Mr. John nugl.es, in
Cambria township, a short mi'.e north of Eb
ensburg, for the purpose of developing the
coal resources of the territory. The mineral
is undoubtedly there, but whether in quanti
ties sufficient to pay for mining is the ques
tion to be solved. 'Dick' Hughes, as he is
familiarly called, is engaged in coal enter
prises at South Fork, this county, and at
Houtzdalc, Clearfield county, and knows all
about the business.
A freight train drawn by a modoc engine,
No. 52, ran into the rear end of another freight
train in the vicinity of Allegrippus, below
Gallitzin, at an early hour on Tuesday morn
ing last, and such a wreck of matter and crash
of cars has seldom been witnessed in that
latitude. The engine was completely demor
alized, five or six of the cars knocked Into
smithereens, and the engineer and fireman,
Mr. Thomas Carland, of Altoona, and Mr.
Hicts, of Tyrone, had a3 much as they could
do to save their lives by leaping from the en
gine. As it was, they fortunately escaped
without any serious injuries.
A meeting of the Presbyterian congrega
tion of this place to take into considei.tion
the advisability of building a new church
edifice was held last Thursday evening,
when the sum of ?2,2o0 was subscribed by
three parties. Committees to solicit contri
butions were appointed, and no doubt exists
of the ability of the congregation to realize
the sum of money they will require, which
is said to be about $",000. The new struc
ture, if put up, will most likely occupy a
more central location than the present site.
Another meeting of the congregation to can
asi the subject will beheld this (Thursday)

Last Sunday a man whose place of resi
dence is north of this place remained over i
night at the Callan House, Cresson. Next i
morning, when he left, he carried away with j
him a brass beer spigot belonging to the ho- j
tel. Going first to Summit, he sold it to Mr. :
George Schwaderer, proprietor nf the brew-
ery at that place. By the execution of a j
nice bit of strategy be stole the instrument i
bark again, and, coming to Ebensburg, sold j
it the second time to the Foster nouse sa- ;
loon. At about this Juncture the clerk of j
the Callan House made his appearance on i
the scene and reclaimed the property, but, ',
owing to the eloquence of the entreaties of j
the thief, refrained from instituting an ae- j
tion for larceny.
A youth of probably fifteen summers '
went to Kansas from this place, with his j
parents, two years ago. A short time since I
his grandmother, who lives in Cambria town- j
ship, sent for him to come and live with her, j
remitting the sum necessary to pay his fare
$45 or thereabout, ne came ; but his stay
'
in these parts was remarkably brief. After a
sojourn of not more than two woeks, he last
Saturday evening turned his face in a west
ward direction, forgetting in his baste to get
away to say good-by ! His first pdace of des
tination was Johnstown. Before leaving, he
ventured to frame some sort of excuse for
his action. "They make me. read a chapter
of the Bible out aloud each evening," he said

New York and Ohio within the last few days,
several of which were imported direct from
Canada, while all the others are from impor
ted stock. The average weight of these val
uable animals i from 150 to 215 pounds, and
as Mr. Barker purchased them for the sole
purpose of introducing a better grade of
sheep into Cambria county, and as he has in
vested a good deal of money in the venture,
it is to be hoped that those Interested will
see that his commendable enterprise meets
witn it proper reward. Farmers and others
wishing to take a look at these valuable and
costly sheep should call upon Mr. Barker,
who will take pleasnre in showing them and
explaining their Cue point".

fervent and devout in the lierrorma.ice or tne i
duties devolving uncn him as a
ineuiner or

of the Holy Name and a brief but pathetic ;
funeral serr.ion by Rev. Father Reardon. the '
remains of deceased were taken to Carroll- j
town for interment Monday forenoon.
On Wednesday of lart "week, as we learn :
from the Johnstown Tribune, a young man
named Weaver, aged about eighteen years.
was instantly killed at the old reservoir m
Crovl" township, aoov.t two miles from "south :
Fork. He was engaged in undermining a !
clay bank and wheeling the material to the j
filling which is being placed in the dam to ;
arrest leakage. There was a large rock ;
above him. which was only partially sup- :
ported, and just as he was in the act of walk- '
ing out from the dangerous place it became j
detached, and fell upon his head and back, j
causing immediate death, as the vertebra at ,
the neck, as well as the spinal column, suf- I
fered fracture. Deceased was the son of a i
farmer residing near the Bnckhorn tavern,
some four miles from the scene of accident.
That clever "knight of the cleaver" and j
firm friend of the Fref.max, Mr. Thos. Kin- i
ncy, of Wilmore, did the handsome thing in
a handsome manner on Saturday last by for- j
warding to ye editor per Express, prepaid, a J
common-sized starch hox containing some i
twelve or fifteen pounds of as .uscious beef, j
roast and steak as ever tickled the palate of j
an epicure. The occasion which prompted j
this generous act was the slaughtering by our
kind friend Kinney of a three-veer.old steer, j
purchased from Mr. William Emigh, of JSum- ;
mei'hill township, whicti weigned J.iiO ins.
and netted 1,116 lbs. of clean meat. It was
certainly a monster beef, as all will admit
who know anything about cattle, but it was
no larger in proportion than is the generous
heart of the genial gentleman who so boun
tifully beef-riended the printer.

and for the term of one year only. Last
vear they were passed on by the Court the
first day of the month, and consequently ex
pired by limitation on Monday night last, at
12 o'clock. Court will not meet till Monday
next, and up to that date no saloon can be
legally authorized to sell, excepting one in
Loretto and one in St. Augustine. Remon
strances were presented against the granting
of license to these two saloens and their
cast's held over for advisement several days,
and hence the apparent discrimination in
thsir favor. A?cording to rule, a special
session of Court is held Monday evening of
the first week to grant or refuse license, on
which occasion, or whenever the matter
comes up, no less than 117 applications for
tavern license, 2 for quart lincense and IS :
for eating-house license will be presented. j

tion whereof was made in our last issue, call- !
ed on Monday to assure us that Mr. Borkey
expr"ssed himself at the t ime as being entire- !
ly satisfied with the amount paid him for re- '
turning the pocket-book aud its contents, and '
that he has nobody to blame fcnt himself for
not making a nicer thing out of it. The gen- ,
tleman in question also avers that it cost no
thing for Mr. Borkey to find and return the ;
property, and that while he deserves credit .
lor his honesty lie roil mat n wnuui nave oeen
impugning his motives had he offered him a ;
larger sum than he did. Had he known, how- !
ever, as he expresses it, that the finder of the ,
money was going to "make a poor mouth"
about" a matter with which he seemed per- j
fectly satisfied at the time, he would have :
insisted on knowing his price, and if at all
within reason would have paid the demand.
A quantity of stones are being delivered j

when r.bensbiirg occupied no place on the
map, but which died ;i natural death mure
than a half century ago, leaving nothing be

strange to associate such an idea as crime
aud crimiiiils with that silent village, but
that in its palmy days it confined a lock-up
is a fact which was testified to by the late
Ldmund Waters, Esq., on divrs wcasions
during his lifetime. The rui.is of this lock
up furnish the stones being hauled, and af
ler having been debased by association with

Mr. Harry M'Corniick, third son of our :
old-time friend, Capt. It. II. M'Cormick, of :
Cherrytree, came home a few days ago from '
Denver, Col., wh"re he has been living for !
the past three or four years, and where, we ;
are glad to learn, he not only fills a pronii- ;
nent and lucrative position in the employ of !
a telegraph ani telephone company, but "has
a paying interest in two prosperous mines I
and "is halt owner of a couple of valuable j
teams. Our young friend intends to return j
to his far western home early next week, but
before doing so he proposes to make Miss
Ida Mullin, of Cleailield county, happy for
life in the good old way. That Harry is the ;
right kind of a man for such an emergency
is simply unquestionable ; that he will prove ;
a kind, loving and devoted husband no one
can doubt, and that he and hU fair y-ung ;
biide may enjoy all of life's felicities for !
many vpars to come isthe sincere hope of !
the Frkkman, as wp are sure it is of the host '
of friends and well-wishers of the happy
young couple everywhere.
Joseph Krumenacber is the name of a '
man in the employ of Dysart fc Co. at the
Ben's Creek coal mines, o; the line of the P. '
K. K.. this county. Dynamite is used for
mining purposes, and while handling a car- ;
tridge charged with that dangerous sub- ::
stance, last Saturday, it exploded. The re- j
suit was sad 'indepd. ur information,
which is doubtless pretty nearly correct, is
that fne of Krumenachr's hands was clown j
off and the othpr arm badly mutilated, while i
the sight of one of his eyes was totally de- ;
stroyed. The other eye is swelled shut, and '
it is not known whether the sight is ruined
or not. Desr-ite these injuries, the sufferer
was not fatally injured, but is in a fair way
r" !
to recover. 1 he explosion is said to have
been caused by Krumenacher's imprudence
in bringing a hammer in contact with the
cartridge, and its force shattered the wooden
handle of the hammer into fragments. He
is a brother of Henry Krumcnacher, of the
neighborhood of Nicktown, and an uncle of
Mrs. Jacob Borkey, of this place.
On Thursday morning of last week. the
lifeless remains o"f an unknown man with his
head crushed in, one arm nearly torn from
the body, and one of his legs fractured, were
found at the bottom of a coal shaft at Ben
nington, a few miles east of Gallitzin. into
which the unfortunate man had evidently
fallen some tune during the night previous.
i IIow the accident happened is) of course a
matter of mere conjecture, but presumably
he intcnrtefl to enter the ngine houe for the
purpose of warminghimself, but openine the
wrons noor ne walked into the mouth of the
pit with the shockingretult stated. The poor
fellow was aged about 30 years, bad an abun- 1
dant crop of red hair, amfwas rather prepos- !
sessini; in his personal appearance. He wore
Kentucky jean pants, a hickory shirt lined
with white canton flannel, new undershirt
and drawers, stiff rimmed hat, woolen socks,
a red handkerchief around his neck, a silver
rincr with cold plate bearing tlie letters "U.
G.," had the initials "J. C" or "J. G." in
indelible ink on one arm, and was evidently
a tramp from necessity rather than choice.
A small pipce of paper found in searching
bis pockets bore the name and address of
"John Baden, Shadyside. Fifth avenue, Fitts
burg. Pa." The remains were taken from
1 " "llr?"
; house for interment.

A very serious accident, if accident it
i can be called, which, so far as we know, has
never heretofore found its way into print, j
1 occurred in one of the coal mines at South !
; Fork some five or six weeks azo. The par-
ticuiars as we nave learned them are that
a young man named Woolfert was pouring
! powder from one vessel into another, the .
latter of which beheld between his knees, ',
i and while so engaged a drop of burning oil ,
J escaped from the miner's lamp attached to ,
I the front of his cap, and falling into the
I powder an explosion followed as a matter of
j course As a result of such carelessness, it 1
j will readily be conjectured tbat young Wool- !
! fert was terribly burned, as indeed be was,
; from head to feet, his clothes taking file and
the flames scorching and searing his legs,
arms, body and face in a shocking manner,
Had it not leen for the presence of mind of
some of his fellow employes, two or three
of whom suffered quite severely from the ex-
plosion, he would undoubtedfy have been
burned to death a fate which was only
averted by rolling him in a ditch whivh was
fortunately near at hand and was partially
fi 1 led with water. At latest accounts young
Woolfert was giadually recovering from his
injuries, which for a time, it was feared,
would result in the loss of his evesicht. to
say the least.

j The Broken Xnrs Aomn We met Dr. !
j Ed wards, in Houtzdale, on Thursday last, ;
i who gave us the following additional ir.for
! mation in regard to Mr. Gnupoll and his"
! broken neck, flf says that our first article ;
! was, in every particular, coirect, and that he
I will give his diagnosis of the case as soon as i
j he has the time, for publication in our paper. '
He has taken the splinters off the neck, but j
, still keeps it stiff with bandages. He per- :
j mits his patient to walkabout the house and !
' around the neighborhood, but when Mr. G. I
! attempts to tuin his head, which he has not
i done, we believe, but once, and that when
! the doctor was present, he went into a spasm. '
: This was soma days ago. The doctor says ,
i he will have him all right in a month's time. ;
I He says that for a whole week the patient's '
pulsations ranged from twenty fourtotweirty- !
I five.
i We are pleased to inform our readers that
; we will soon be enabled to give them a rie- j
: tailed history, from the doctor himself, who
! attended this wonderful case, of its nature
i antl treatment. It will be looked for with
1 considerable interest by the medical frater
j nlty, and wili add to surgical science an in
: valuable paper, closing a link in the long
chain of fractures, which has heretofore been
left open ; and will also solve the doubt
I which has taken such hold upon doctors gen
erally, that broken necks can not be saved.

Attkmped Murder Nkak Latkobe.
On the night of Sunday, February 20th. the
body of Jaco'.i Myers, assistant brewer at St.
Vincent, nearLatrobe, was found lying near
the engine house of the Monastery Coke
Works in an insensible condition." After
having been conveyed to tne Monastry for
medical treatment, it was discoved that his
breast had been crushed in by some heavy
instrument, and his head and other portions
of his body bruised to a considerable extent.
He wasnttended by Dr. Donnelly of Latrobe,
but remained unconscious until a fw days
ago, when he made a statement of the oc
curence to his physician. In his statement
he says, that while walking near the engine
house of the Coke Works, he was accosted
by a man and a woman, and after returning
an answer U the man, the latter drew a re
volver and fired at him, when he made an at
tempt to escape, whereupon four men rushed
from concealment and commenced beat'ng
him with clubs and stones, during which his
first assailantslired two more shots at him.
Unconsciousness: ensued from thp blows up
on the man's skull, and while he has recov
ered his reason for the time, it is believed by
his physicians that death must resnlt from
concussion of the brain. It is said that four
or the assailants have fled the country, and a
fifth has'been arrested, who claims that he
took no part in the assault. While the Mate
m. nt ot the injured man seems improbable,
still it is the duty of the authorities of thrtt
section to probe the matter to the bottom
and if an offense hs been committed to
bring the guilty to justice. Oreens turn Dem

At a meeting of Council of Ebensburg
borough, held on the evening of April 28,
1X79, a committee consisting of Messrs. Alvin
Evans ind James G. Hasson was appointed,
in conjunction with Burgess Humphreys, to
revise the ordinances of the borough. The
task, which was a most tedious one, has been
accomplished, and on Monday evening last
the result was submitted to Council. A
special meeting to scrutinize the revision by
sections had been held a couple of weeks an
terior, and at the meeting Monday evening
the report of the committee, as will be seen
by a minute of Council proceedines printed
elsewhere, was unanimously adopted by five
of the six members of the Board present. It
is promised the entirw document will be
given the public next week, for their infor
mation and guidance. One of its provisions,
and a most just one, is that the Hurzess shall
hereafter be paid a salary of a year, in
stead of nothing, as now. Another is that
hereafter all doers, in order to secure an
abiding place within the borough, must be
registered and numbered, thosenot complying
with this formality being condemned io a
sudden-and violent death.
