AH the papers published at points whero
both shows have exhibited concur in declar
ing that In everything pertaining to a first
class entertainment the Forepaujfh aggrega
tion would scarcely make a respectable hind
paw for the Great Circus ttoral, which pitch
ed Its tents in this place on Tuesday last,
Mr. John Manion, one of the best citi
zens of Susquehanna, township, or. for that
matter, of Cambria county, who came to
town the day after the show, says that he
never owned a watch, a gun, or a buggy,
and never attended a circus or any similar
exhibition in bis life. A rather remarkable
record that.
The School Directors of Blair and Cam
bria counties don't seem to have seen it in
the same light, for while the former showed
themselves unwilling to retire Superintend
ent Stephens at the end of bis socond term,
the latter thought that Superintendent Eerg
bad done so well in the last six years that lie
was entitled to a test.
One of Forepaugh's elephants attacked i
a camel stt lyronetr.e other day and broke I
its ieg. It is strongly suspected, says the j
Everett Prrxs, that the camel yvas caught
titling tlie elephant's trunk in search of a
straw hat. The ntTair created considerable
coolness in tl.e menagerie, and tiie camel '
has his hack up about it vet.
Dr. A. S. Slayer, of Koaring Spring,
Blair county, was made to stare worse than :

his persiiu while attending Foiepaugh's show ;
in Altoona. on Wednesday of last week, by
the fore paw of some adroit thief.

The Huntingdon I.or-al A"ers says i lint .
the remains of an Indian were found while .

We learn from the Altoona Sun that
! Mrs. Rynder, mother of Mr. T. V. Kynder,
; editor of the .'b-njiec, fell down a long flight
; of stairs at the residence of her son on Mon

I The Palmer-est days of libel suits have I
evidently come and gone over in "Blair eoun- I

' city were $at down upon last week by tiie
Grand Jury at the expense of the prosecutor.

! Mr. F. II. Barker, of this place, received
by Express last week two thorough-bred bull
calves, one of which, a Jersey, was got by
I.ord Inns, the dam of said call being one of
the be.st milkers in tiie United States. The
other one is a short-horn Durham, got by
j Royal Remiclc, and is well bred, ot good
; color and reliable pedigree running back for
thirteen crosses, three of which are registered
in the English Herd Book. This latter is
thought to be the only recorded bull in this
county. Buli-y for Barker.

This morning, between the hours of 7
and H o'clock, savs.the Altoona Tladiral of i
Tliiirstlay, J. A. Koekey, of this city, while I
walking near the three culverts, discovered j
the lifeless form of a young man, who proved ;
to be Christian Malady, aged 10, and yvell ,
known to the citizens of Altoona. On the
evening previous he was noticed in company
with a number of tramps, who were drink
ing freely, and it is supposed that voting I
Malady came to his death from exposure and
an overdose of liquor obtained from the
tramps in whose company be bad been.
The residence of Mr. John D. Davis, in
Cambria township, was entered on Tuesday
last, during the absence of the inmates, who
were probably in town attending the show,
and a wap-h valued at fifty dollars and a
few other articles stolen therefrom. A one
armed stranger is said to have been seen
prowling about the premises, and he. is sus
pected of the ciime. The wife of Kev.
Thomas, who lives in the same neighborhood.
! and who is naturally delicate, is said to have
been almost frightened to death by some
one yvlio made himself too numerous in that
locality on or about the same time.
When we say that the Grand Circus
Koyal, ofce., which held forth in this place
last Tuesday, afternoon and evening, was a
good one.'Ve say no more than ought to be
and has been said by ail who have seen it.
But we go a peg further and assert that it
was the best "show" that ever visited Eb
enshuig. All parties connected with the
concern, so far as their conduct here is a
criterion to judge bv, are gentlemen and la
dies ; the sensibilities of the on-looker was
shocked by nothing gross, and the number"
of light-fingered gentry hanging on the out
skirts was scarcely up to the average.
We know a gentleman In this county who
recently "bit off his nose to spite his "face"
by refusing to advertise certain real estate

one of the most truthful citizens of the coun

Rev. Father Bradley, the venerable pas
tor of St. Patrick's church at Xewry, lllair
county, has finally retired from active service,
after inore than fifty years in the priesthood,
all but three or four of which have been
spent among the people whose pastor be has
just ceased to le, and with whom lie will
still continue in the exercise of bis priestly
functions so long as the ability to do so con
tinues. It is understood that Rev, Richard
Brown, the present curate, will succeed
Father Bradley in the more onerous duties
of pastor of the large and flourishing, congre
gation over which the latter has so long and
7ealouly presided.
Constable McDermitt, of Chfst Springs
borough, brought to jail on last Monday af
tbrnoon a man nanred Bechner. who is charg
ed with attempting to shoot our worthy
friend John G. Gill, Esq., of Chest township,
on the ir2d of April. The accused succeeded
in firing one shot, which fortunately misled
the mark, and was in the act of proceeding
to business for
a second time when tne
'Squire caught bis arm and wrested the
weapon from him. Bechner.. who is a shoe
maker by trade and has been working at dif
ferent places in this county for several
months past, is believd to be considerably

weighs about, sixteen hundred pounds. This
superb animal was sired by Rob Roy, a full

A young man named Sweeny, hailing
; from Prospect borough was arrested on Mon
day last at the Johnstown station, ami com

for carrying concealed weapons. The char
' ges have been made bv two Swedes, who al
I lege that while they aiid their wives were on
j their wav home a few evenings ago, Sweeny
! and another party approached themand made
i indecent proposals to the women. The
i Swedes thereupon started to run, when
i Sweeny, according to their story, drew a re

i effect uniler the right eve of one of his ac
i cusers and the other cut the skin on the left

It is very natural and quite excusable !
i for County Superintendent Berg to discon
tinue the r HERMAN, as tie has none, it lie
I honestly believes that we did him injustice
by publishing ceitain communications rela

! we can assure him that neither the with

About twenty-uve years ago a citizen oi
this place was engaged in the grocery busi
ness in a small way, and a man who lived in
the country, seven or eight miles distant,
conti-a'tcda debt for something purchased
in the former's store amounting to three dol
lars. The years have since passed on, the
creditor all "the time residing in town and
the debtor in the country, each one frequent
ly .seeing the other, but no mention, as we
learn, ever being made by either of the un
paid indebtedness. Ono'day last week the
man of the town was standing on the side
walk at Mrs. Foster's hotel, and the man
I from the country, who had come tn -town a
j few hours before, and yvas riding down the
i street on his return home, stopped bis horse,
I and calling the former to him handed him
throe silver dollars, with the remark. "This
j belongs to you I just thought about it," and
: rode mi his" way with a lively-sense ot a long
i deferred duty performed, while the creditor.
put the cash "in his pocket with tlie dim im
I prtssion that it takes ail sorts of people to
i make up a world of the kind we inhabit.
I An infant child of Mr. Wm. Fcister, of

notice.os printed inr.ll tr.e local papers, the School
Pircctors of Cambria connty met at. the Court
House, lu this place, at 1 o'clock. V. v.. on Tuesday
last, for the purpose of electing a Superintendent
of Public Schools for the cnnln? three years. Mr.
F. J. Burioon, of Sonman, was chosen as Presi
dent, with the usual array of Vice Presidents, while
Mr. O. A. Kinkead, of this place, assisted by two
other gentlemen, kept a record of tho proceedings
Thus organized, the convention at once proceeded
to ballot, with tte following result :
First (ballot Strayer, 78; Uerg 71; McFeaters,
40 : Marden. 17.
Second ballot Strayer. 82; lierg, 71; McFea

Fifth ballot Strayer, S7 ; llerg, 85; McFeaters,
.14 : Marsden, 12.
Here the convention rested Ion; enough to take
and fix the salary of the Superintendant at $1,000
per year.
Then the balloting businesi wag resumed and
here Is what came of It :
Ruth bnllot Strayer, 87; licrsr, 02 ; McFeaters,

Seventh ballot Strayer, 95; Berg, 64 ; McFeat

On tho tenth ballot the secretaries fatled to

lot was ordered. It resulted as follows :
Eloventh ballot Strayer, lol; Borg, 40 McFea
ters. 44; Marsden. 4.
Mr. Straver having received what was declared
by the ehatr to be a majority of all tho votes cast,
was proclaimed as the choice of the convention.
This.however, wns objected to by the friend of
Mr. Berg, who alloged that 104 votes were requi
site to elect, that being a bare majority of "all the
Directors, present" In Ebensburg, though evident
ly absent from the convention when the last bal
lot was taken. This may be what is termed a legal
qoibble, bat until the State Superintendent, who
has been or will be appealed to, renders a decision,
the election will be considered off or on, just as
those Interested see fit to look;t it.

i This money lie had in one of tho Hollidaysburg
1 banks. W hile standing outside the show, he was
i approached by a confidence man who engaged him
i In conversation. It w:is not long until the latter
i knew as much of Mr. Shaw's bniness as lie did
.' himself: In f.ct. lie told him everything, even to
1 the money The continence man invited him in-

' up l..r Mr. Shaw's delectation. Ho did not take

tail, all complete and alive, with pleasant vegeta
ble medicine. No lee until cured. Urty per cent,
of cases of dyspepsia and disorganizations ef liver
are caused by stomach and other worms existing In

chitis, female weakness, etc. can certify that my

treated for wron diseases. Their symptoms and
treatment : In this age of Inventions It Is very re
markable, but none the less true, that the symp
toms of worms, a disease of the most dangergus
character, are so little nn.lerstood by the medical
men of the present day. These parasites undergo
the most curious transformations. They remain
months, and even years, in the bodv before thev
are fully developed. They onlv mature in parts of
the body which communicate with the external air,
as In the alimentary canal, or lungs, but generally i
the former. I
There are numerous kinds, but the most danger- I
out, and by far the most-difficult to remove, is the
Tape W-tii. This worm Is constructed of flat pie-
ces. which are connected with the head bv a very l
f fine neck. The parasite is sometimes thirty feet I
I long, but it s so thin that the worm could be held ,
I in a small bottle. The symp'oir s of this, as of other i
i worms, are weakness and irritation. To effect a I
j perfect cure, the head ol the worm must be removed. !
' This is very dilll.'ult to accomplish, and several em- :
! inent phy'sieians have only been able to remove j
J parts of the body. Those "who are tronnled with
i this loathsome disease can ba cured in the short j
j space ol three hours. ( For Tape Worm, write an J t

DRESS GOODS.
What art mid skill are doing in cotton dress
fabrics! Two counters are goigeous ith
them. The lowest price is .v cts. a yard
and the highest fi2'i cts. ; but they are made
in soft and delicate ways, and by texture,
j)rint, or dye. to rival the stuff of luxury,
lerc are familiar names :
Scotch Zephyr. I'ou'.ards,
Madi-as (.iiiighnmsi, Sateens,
Seersuckers, Lawns,
'hint7P'1 Cretonnes,
t )xford ( 'loths, Moniies,

Printed SliirUn,
In alniot every nnnie are triumphs. You
are not often asked to admire such modest
works of ait and skill: but see if you can
pass these counters without a new estimate
of the times in which von live.
JOHN WANAMAKKK.
Fourth circle, northwest from centre.
DEBEIGES,
Kvcrylody knows, are staple goods. Out?
looks at novelties and buys staples. Staples
means something that "almost evcybody
buys.
What everybody buys is certain to 1 .
good thing somehow. Tlie way debeiges arc
good is this;: the money goes all for use and i
none for .show ; or rather for that kind of j
show which limits use. '
Why, last spring we broucht in one lot of ;
debeiges and have leen buying in debeiges -
ever since. And now we have more tie
beit;es than vou yvill look at, all browns and
grays ; and nearly all new. The prices are '
all the wav from 'J.I cents for 22-inch to f 1.10 i
for 4t-incfi. A particularly good quality is j
60 cents for 43-inth. " i

BLACK DRESS GOODS.
New things in black dress-good of almost
all sorts are reaily.
Silk erenadines came some time ago : now
the wool and silk-and-wool grenadines are
here : and the variety is greater than we
have had before, greater than anybody ever
had, so far as yve know.
New armures, plain and figured, are no-
table, especially the latter. Auiongtnem are j
armures, w'th small figures and plants, that ;
can be seen only when looked at m ceitain
ways. I lie drapmgoi anressoi tnese wouii
appear to be partly plain and partly figtm-d
or plaid. The figures and plaids seem to
have no existence at ail. You can't find
them except bv accident.

MEDIUM WOOLEN DRESS GOODS.
There are three notable woolen dress fab
rics at $1.
Melange pin checks, of five colors. The
warp is of a uniform licht shade in each ;
the wool is of alternate clusters of threads,
three or four being light, the next three or
four having twisted with them a thread of
darker shade.
Woolen sateens of eight colors, more or
less mixed in carding. The sateens' effect is
produced bv heavy warped threads thrown
almost wholly- on the surface : they jump
three or four" of the line warp threads, and
pass under onlv one. l ne warp scarcely
comes to the surface at all, as you can see j
oy t u- vi r.
Croise cashmere of fifteen plain colors :
differs from ordinary cashmere in the twill.
This is probably ne letter money's worth
than the others but almost exactly the ame
has just been offered us at wholesale for a
little more money- than we are sollinc it nt.

COTTOX-anuMYOOL DRESS GOODS.
Here are three cotton-and-wool dress cloths
of single width in browns and eravs :
Kalerno cloth, like alpaca, but heavier, at

Cashmere beige, in appearance somewhat
like the SI melange, described above ; plain
15 cents, twilled is cents,

SILKS.
Heavy rich damasse silks of all colors, ?2.
7r : last season's and J goods; are now
selling in preference to the latest novelties,
of course on account of richness and price.
Plain silks of the same colors to combine
with them.
The following are just received from our
buyer resident in Paris :
Pongees, richlyenibroidcred by hand, with
sprays of flowers and with birds. The pri
ces of those ready to-day are ?-S to ?'W per
piece of 4'yards. More are coming.

SATEENS, &lc.
Toiled' Alsace is a similar fabric to Scotch
ginchani, but of softer finish, and printed ;
;socts. Sateen is even finer, and the warp is
i thrown upon the surface so successfully as
to leave it. as smooth as satin, wnicn indeed i
it much resembles. Ibis also is printed in I
exquisite desiens, and the printing is the
more successful because the surface is so
smooth.
The bouquet squares (nobody else has
them vet, so far as we know) appear to have
been a Parisian forethought. They are of
sateen and are used as garniture ol sateen
dresses. Nothing in cotton printing, proba
bly, yvas ever any thine like so rich before.

have in ctenter variety than you will find
elsewhere : but there is no difficulty in Bet-
tins tins gra.le of work.
, I'nderwear of a plainer sbrt is difficult to
' get caiefully and ki'!ftiHy made: but w
. have n jeally great collection of it. For
'. more than a year past we have been raisin
1 the standard of manufacture and cultivating
simpler styles. We have work the like of
which is "iu no other bouse, here or in New
Yoik. The ideal of it is the best of home
made underwear at such prices as will cause
it to be preferred to home-made and stop
home-making as fast as the work become
known.
JOHN WANAMAKER.

LACES.
Not every- dav are our lace counters f51!d
with buyers. They would le, if every lady
knew two facts, viz., first, that we have the
newest and choicest of laces of every grade ;
second, that we sell them le'.ow the'roarket.
The difficulty is that every merchant says
the same two things : and vou don't tbink it
very saucy to doubt just a little, lecause ad
vertising does paint things too rosysometimet.
We much desire you to find out bow care
ful we are to say "exactly what we mean,
neither more or less. Kor example, see to
day a torchon at 10 cents, which sells else
where at 20 cents about. How do we know ?
Whv we sold it ourselves for 15 cents last
weftk Not (1e in a llun(i1Cli flf our regular
custoniprs knows how we crowd prices Jo wn.
jiov(. ran we ex.ct (,ther to In-beve that
expect
j our policy is low prices, when almost every
; merchant studies how to keep them up '.'
i As to assortments, what do you suppose
: we do with nine lace counters? Why, tnere
I is no such stock in l'hiladelphia. Ve have
i thousands of dollars worth of fine laces ibut
j up in boxes. We have very poor facilities
1 for exbioitiiig them : but we shall surprise
! vou if you ask to see them.
JOHN WANAMAKEK.

HANDKERCHIEFS.
1 New fancy whit handkerchiefs : many,
j New initials ; new letters, a different letter
' for each price. New colored borders, l.iren
i centers with colored silk borders (nowhere
' else, probably), require to be wa-hd with
! care; but with care they wash perfectly;
! colors fast. Woven color lirders. plaidk and
! stripes of coure. Not a mixed eotton-and-
! linen handkerchief in the store.

LINENS.
We have visited every linen nianufactoiT
of note in Europe, and gathered a stock
which for variety of fabric and finish is he
yond all precedent, comprising :
Shctting-linen.
Pillow-case linen.
Diaper linen.
. star linen.
Ladies' underwear liner.
Gentlemen'" underwear linen
Butchers' liner..
Towels.
Toweling.
Table-cloths,
fable linen.
Napkins.
Doilies.
We have linens entirely unknown to Amer
ican markets ; also every favorite here.
Noother house in Philadelphia buys abroad
Henee noother house can have either our
gooiis or our prices. This w say without
knowing what other bouses have, either in
goods or prices.
Jf HN WANAMAKEK.
City-IIall-SVquare entrance.
MUSLINS.
Who wants to read about muslins? And
yet you had better know how, by a little
crookedness in ileal ing. they are made tc
bring an extra price, even in bouses that
ought to te above crookedness of any aort.
'J ake an example : Wamsutta is branded,
part of it Wamsutta. and part of it with tbsj
merchant's name. That branded Wamsutta
is sold at the current market price, and the
other is sold for an extra price, and the sales
men are instructed to sell as little as they can
of the genuine, and as much as the can of the
toher.
The practice, we are sorry to ay, prevails
in some large houses here in Philadelphia.
If you find that a merchant considers such
dealing fair, ierhaps you will look out for
bim in other goods as well as muslin.
We have everything in muslins that is
wanted here ; even-thing is branded with the
name of the mill that made it : and every
thing is sold at the bottom of the market.

DOMESTIC CALICOES.
Chintz of ind'go-blue ground with white
polka dots of various sizes, and other little
figures not unlike thertotsof American make,
at 10 cents, is a great favorite.
Calicoes in general arc 8 cents ; but some
patterns are 5',', simply because they are not
