Blair County, Pa..
Dress. A New York Paper makes the
following romarks about dress, which, are
as applicable to this locality,, as thoy are to
New York :
'A eoatthat has a inank of use tipon it is
a recommendation to peoplo of senso,. and
(t li;vt with too-nuich nap and too high, a
livstro a derogatory circumstanca.. The
best coats in Broadway are on the backs of
penniless fops, broken-, down merchants,
clerks with pitiful salarios,. and men that
do. wit pay up. The heaviest gold chains
dangle from the fobs of gamblers and gciir
tleuu!n,of very limited moans ; costly orna
ments on ladies indicate to the eyes that
well opened, the fact of a silly lover or
a Husband cramped for fund.. And' when a
pretty woman goes by in plain and neat
Rpnircl. it is presumed that slw has fair ex
pectations, and a husband that eaiv show a
rrnhtiK) in his favor. For women are like
boiiks. too much gilding makes men, suspi
cious that the binding is the most import
ant pant."
Census Marshals.. The appointments for
Deputy Marshals for taking the census in
this county, have been-anxiously looked
for. So far, the only appointments we
have learned are, TV. H. Kaufman, of Mad
ison township, j Lightner, of Tyrone,
Win. II. Roddy, of. Landisburg and W. II.
II. McClintock, of 'Bloomfield. The others
will probably soon bo announced.
A Mule limit. On Tuesday night last,
mule belonging to W. II. Porzlino, was
reported as stolen from Gerty's Notch, but
was afterward sfound, having strayed away.
A reward of fifty dollars was offered for
the recovery of the property and arrest of
the thief. The news being brought to this
town, evory one was on the lookout, for the
stolen property. On Wednesday noon it
was reported that a suspicious looking man
mounted on a mule, answering to the de
scription of the stolen property was seen
trying to got through tlio borough by the
hack street. This being told the Deputy
Sheriff, ho at once started in pursuit, tak
ing D. M. Bincsmith with him as an "aido
de camp," bound to arrest the rascal or per
ish in the attempt. They readily tracked
tho man, several persons having seen him
pass their attention being attracted by his
peculiar appearance until they overtook
him, about four miles from town, when ho
proved to be a very worthy citizen of Lan
disburg, well-known to ono of the pursuers.
In tho meantime, the Sheriff feeling anx
ious at the delay in tho return of tho Dep
uty, and desirous thatvthe fellow should by
no means escape, put himself in command
of the reserve corps, composed of tho Dis
trict Attorney, and started on tho war path
going several miles before learning that
tho other party had returned by the other
street. The whole party finally arrived at
home, feeling that they had been very
badly sold. It is hard to tell, however,
whether tho joke is the hardest on the
inula hunters, or cm Ilnnrv TVinrrn

TlJiiiicnnnoii Iteing. Last Thursday night
s iur. uunii iiuiper, or., was passing Mr.
Gladden's, on his way homo from tho band
room, a largo and savago dog suddenly
sprang at him, nearly catching him by the
throat. Mr. Harper, for want of a better
weapon, dealt him a blow on the head with
the bell of his E-fiat horn making of
course his E-flat much flatter than it was.
Johuie thinks his "free blow" was not
appreciated, as the canine skulked for his
kennel, in a vcrv sulk v tnnnrl
bOn last Tuesday morniijg,' ( Juno 21,) as
tlie racihc .Lxprcss was seen coming around
tho curve above Baskiusville, at a frightful
rate of speed a child was also seen playing
on the track a short distance in front of the
approaching train. Between the yelling of
some workmen near by, and tho sharp
sound of the engineer's whistle, the child
was made aware of its danger, and stum
bled from tho track, not a moment too soon
to escape being struck. If a child while
playing on the tiack, as that ono was,
should he killed, its parents should be held
as guilty as murderers, for allowing it to
be there.
Wo are glad to see that tho bridge across
the little Juniata, at tho lower end of Front
street, is undergoing repairs, as it has been
impassible for a long time.
Immense quantity of bark is being
shipped from tho siding, at the upper end
of town.
The Duncannon Iron Works will stop
for repairs, during part, or perhaps all of
July. IIekk.
Saturday Afternoon a conductor on a
coming west, saw the face of an apparently
drowned boy in a pond a short distance
below Blair Furnace. Tho train was im
mediately stopped and the conductor and
several otter employes of tho train went
to the pond and succeeded in getting him
out,. At first they thought ho was dead
but a faint breathing soon showed that he
still lived. They immediately conveyed
him to the train, and by tho time this city
was reached had succeeded in restoring him
to-oonsciousuess. He was given in charge
of the Chief of Police ut this place, and
everything possible done to restore him to
health and strength. When ho left he was
apparently well enough, although very
weak. A physician who examined hiin
said it was a case of sun stroke, but tho
boy himsolf says that he had met a man
who made him drunk and while in this
condition lio fell into tho poiul. He un
doubtedly made a narrow escape Altoona
Sun.
