Tbe decr-ased leaves a wife to wham he had bu-a married only a few months, a daughter of George M. Saylor, of this place. Mr. Prills was a eon of Peter Pritis, whose sudden death from heart dis ease, was recorded in last wevk'a KnasLa, and was a brother of E. E. Pritts, principal of the Somerset borough schools. He bad been a resident of Somerset tor several years prior to his removal to Meyersdale and was very popular. At one of the sessions of Court Ia;t week A.C. Iioibfrt, Esq., presented a petition to the Court praying that tbe certificate of elec- tic.u issued to O.iver Kuepper, as Justice of the Peace for five years, be canceled and ttiat Solomon Unl be declare! elected Justice of tbe Peace and that a certificate be issued to him accordingly. The reading of the peti tion caurcl more or less of a sensation ia the court rcorj and whea its conteats became known oa tbe streets furnished fool for conversation and conjecture that has not yet beea dissip&ted. The petition, which is signed by twenty eight electcrs of tbe borough ot ot'urrset, s-13 ibrth that tbe election held on tl 1 1th Jay cf February was not held ia strict co ifonuity with tbe Baker Ballot law, that the polls Were opened fo'ty minutes after tb hour set for opening them, that persons wore allowed to remain in the election room ia violation of law, that noise and disturb ance was permitted ia the electiea room, that two watchers representing one political parly were permitted to be present, that can didates were allowed to solicit votes in the election room, that the polls were closed be fore tbe Lour fixed by law, that non-residents of tbe election district were permitted to vole, that tickets imperfectly marked were counted, that the borough auditors ia viola tion of law refused to place the "citizens tick et" on the o:U ;ial ballot and that on account of this omission voters were misled, and were compelled by abuse and vilification to vote a part: z in ticket, and farther alleges that sev enteta electors (naming them) and some twenty others voted invalid and illegal bal lots for Oliver Knepper for Justice of the Peace. The petition was ordered filed by the Court and Saturday evening it was taken up for dis posal. F.J. Kooser, E-q., appeared for Mr. Knepper. He argued that tbe petition was insufficient in larts and that where direct and su:5;"ieat allegations were made tbey must have been made ignorantiy, since it is utterly impossible that the petitioners could know positively the matter set forth. Mr. Holbert answered at considerable length, but carefully guarded any evidence that may rejein him, since at the conclu sion of his remarks tbe other side knew no more in regard to the case than they ill J be fore. Mr. Holbert significantly let fall that he was prepared to substantiate the charges made when tbe proper time comes. His honor, Judge Longenecker, listened attentively to tbe arguments, and when Mr. Hoitert had about bail-finished got up, turned his chair around once for luck, and then resumed his seat. His honor took the petition to chambers with him. He will make a ruling wilhia thirty day when tbe public w ill learn w hether a commissioner is to be appointed to take testimony or wheth er tbe contest Will ''die a boraiu'." It will be remembered that Mr. Knepptr had a msjority of fi-e votes over Solomon UbI for the cilice of Justice of the Peace at the bate election. This is cot a very larire margin and it is due to that fact probably that Mr. Ubl has decided to try and deprive him of kssuniira, the duties of the office to which he was elected. There is no allegation, or could there be f.r that matter, of fraudulent voting, and tbe only peg on which Mr. Uhl has to hang his case appears to be that bis attorueys will endeavor to mai-e out that tbe election was illegal and conse juently void. As the Hebald views it there is not the remotest possibility of Mr. Ubl niaiicg a sndtssftil contest and of the election being declared vo: 1. Bat it tl ssoum: nat a howl would ascend. By virtue of his ap pointment by the Governor, Uhl would con tinue to dispense justice until his successor is elected and commissioned ; three mem brrs of town council would be elected by tbe members of tbe beard who hold over from last year; the same would ba the case with the two members f tbe school boar J ; tbe Cocrt would appoint a constable until one could be elected and qualified ; voters would elect election officers on the morning of the November election, and minor officials would be appointed by the Court and town council. A Famous B rids a on the Croat Na tional Road. One of the finest and most costly stone structures in Western Penasylrania is tbt large three arched bridge that spaas the Youghiogbeny river at SomerSeld on the National pike leading from Cumberland to Wheeling. It was built, according to an in scription on one of the arches, by Kickead, Beck and Evans, and completed July 4, ISIS. Tbey contracted with the Government of the United States to build it for $4o,0OJ, but tbe price fa'iin so far below the actual cost tbey we.-c afterwards given 120,'J") extra. Even t'-;" f) was not equal to its actual cost, which resulted in the utter bankrupt cy of the contracting firm. 1's three large arches, as well as its other parts, were so scieutificaliy and substantial ly constructed that for seventy-four years it has stood the constant and heavy traffic over it, without costing A hundred dollars by way of repairs. Civil engineers of to-day say it is one of the finest and most perfect etruclures of the kind in its architectural and mechanical construction to be found in the state : and doubt whether it conld be equalled even with all our modern facilities for baUding for t7o,0H0. As some parts ol tbe long parapet walls are now giving wsy. Deeding immediate re pairs, we are glad to know that Governor Patti3on,ja his late annus! message, has called legislative attention to the matter. He says, " The Superintendent of the Cumber land Road within tbe limits of Fayette county reports improvement in its condi tion. He notes the necessify for repairs to the great stone bridge over tbe Yongbiogbe ny at Somerfield, which structure begins to show signs of decay. It should be preserved at least as a monument of tbe notable past hl-tory of this famous thoroughfare. He estimates tbe cost of needed repairs at $1,500, and asks for Legislative appropriation for such puriose to that amount. I commend the subject to your attention." That great, by far tbe greatest thoroogh re for many years, the National pike, be tween the Eaet and West, was constructed by tbe Government largely due to tbe ear nest advocacy of Henry Clay, and a few oth er leading western Congressmen. For many vears it was under the immediate control of the Government, and kept in first clsss or der by revenue collected as tolls. Ttie toll houses were built of stone, and being of an octagon form, were exceedingly picturesque in appearance. They were located about fifteen miles apart, and we believe but one of them is now standing the one oa tha bill at tbe east end of Addison. Someyears back tbe road was transferred by the Government to Maryland, Pennsyl vania and West Virginia, through which it pa5, cn certain conditions, one of which, we think, was that each slate was to keep it in pood repair. Trie special attention of our representa tives at Hsrrisburg should be g'ven to the wise and timely recommendation of the Gov ernor. We say timely, for if not repaired by the state tbe whole burden will likely be thrown upon Somerset and Fayette coun ties at no very distant day. In this as in many other instances tbe part of wisdom is to take time by the forelock. Late Styles in Fashionable Goods. John Stenger's store, Main street, Johns town, Pa., is now the recognized headquar ters ior all that is late, new, plain, stvlish and gorgeous in cot only Dresa Goods, but in Ladies' Misses and Children's Jackets and Capes.

His long experience and phenomenal success in handling all first class merchandise consti tute a positive guarantee to all purchasers, that in buying cf him tbey always get the best goods at bottom prices. His spring stock is one of the largest, best and finest ever opened in Johnstown. Can we not Improve our Present Facilities for Travel In Parts of t Somerset County ?. Mr. Edit r: Will you please grant me LUIe space in your paper 7 esterday a. m we started lor one of our appointments, by oar usual route, went a short distance. found tbe fences closed up and the mads well filled with snow drifts through which no one had ventured. We turned back, took an ether route, drove about three miles through roa Is. w oods and fields some times almost impossible to ret through ; then wi Pound that route blocked against us. Again we turned back, went about a mile to find tbe third route closed op. By thai time it was too late to make our appointment by any other route so we returned come after having spent nearly ail forenoon in fruitless effoitx to reach our appointment ; and this morning our horse is lame from floundering in the snow-drifts. The present condition of things makes travel not only difficult but, in some places. even dangerous. We naturally ask, how can, or ought this to be remedied? Surely no one who has tbe remotest idea of the damage done a Geld sown to wheat, or newly seeded with grass, or even any field of moist and mellow ground, will for one moment blame the farmer for closing his fences at this season of the year. Could then any one expect each farmer to open the roads leading through his farm? By no means for we all know that it wool l be imposing burdens out of all proportion on some of our fellows. And yet, oar present "road system," or rather, our present wtmt of ryttem, leaves the individual farmers either to suffer the damage done by using their fields for public travel, or demands tbat they shall open the roads for the public benefit ; or the unsuspecting traveler is hindered in bis journey, or wrecked in tlie treacherous drifts. Now we do not believe that the people of Somerset county either sanction, or want any such injustice or wrong: It is simply for want of having their attention called to it tbat such condition of things arise. And tbe object of this article is simply to call their attention to the fact tbat some things in our present road system ought to bechang ed ere next winter, and we believe tbey will gladly do il. A.

Clothing, Hats, &.C By pluck, grit, energy and popular prices Thomas & Karr, 2"1 and 253 Slain Street, Johnstown, Pa., have forged their way to tbe head of clothing establishments in tbat city ; and therefore, have justly won dis tinction as tbeclotbirg hustlers of Western Pennsylvania. Such wonderful strides have they made in clothing' Jsecp'es of Cambria, Indiana, Westmoreland and Somerset coun ties, that tbey are constantly compelled to mate additional room in tbe large building they occupy to accommodate their ever in creasing trade. Lately they bad to add ma ny more feet to their laige sale's room.
