All of tho unpleasant "stories" that

printing some tilings as it does for print
ing other things, wisely remarks an ex
change. '

Ono day or night last week fomo van
dal scattered tacks in the street between
Bridge stroct and tho conrt house, and no
less than thirty bicycle tires were punc
tured. It is difficult to imagine how any
ono with a sound mind could porpetrate
so dastardly an outrage, now that the
ordinance prohibiting the use of the side
walks for bicycle riding has gone into ef
fect, and is strictly oboyed by all. This

. The Late Asliabel Holt-man.
Ashabel Holeinan was born Oct. 28th,
1824, at Uolemau's Flats on the Allegheny
river, and died after three weeks of great
suirering at his home in the this place on
Tuesday moruing, June 14th, 18!8, aged
73 years, 7 months and 17 days.
He was marriod to Miss Nancy Slielma
din, of Slielmadine Springs, Pa., Oct. 28,
1847, and by her becamo the father of one
son and livo daughters, of whom the
mother and two daughters, Mrs. J. 11.
Lockwood and Mrs. II. J. Hopkins, all of
this placo now survive. An adopted
daughter, to them like their own, also
survives, Mrs. Wiley Ward also of this
placo.
He joined the U. B. Church in 1S.'5, was
licensed to exhort in 1S.VI and to preach
in 1857, and for forty years has been an
ordained minister in good standing and a
member of the Erie conference of the U.
B. Church. He led in the erection of the
beautiful church belonging to that de
nomination in our place and was a most
liberal supporter of the gospel and en
deavored to abound in every good word
and work In 1872 be built the Holoman
block in this place, lor many years has
btien ono of our heaviest tax payors and
one of our best and foremost men in bus
iness. For forty years, in Allegheny township
and then here, after ' the organization of
our horough, he served the State and
county faithfully as one of our magis
trates doing his duty as he saw it, fear
lssly, iuterpidly and well. Iu politics
he was a stalwart Republican of the Lin
coln and Sumner type, and believed in
liberty for all and righteousness toward
all, with all his soul. He held with a
strong grip that the light of a true patriot
ism oi a true philanthropy, is non oth
er than tho light of tho golden rule. In
Christian faith bo was a chief captain, and
a mighty man; and among the first of
the men and prophets of his day and gen
eration. In the problems and difficul
ties of lil'o, he aimod not to be aggressive,
but if attacked by any foe he could soon
show that he had the stuff iu him ol
which heroes are made. Brave in pur
pose, strong tempered, heroio in resolute
ness, and yet .kind-hearted and gentle as
the zephyrs, he was a man to fight and
win, as lie diii, in the great battle of lite,

The Tidioute News says : Wm. Blocher
hit it hard when he got into the navy. He
is the first man from this county to see
actual service iu the present war. His
boat is the Abarenda, and following is a
press dispatch of tho fight at Guantanamo
last Sunday afternoon : The A merlcan
flag was raised over Camp McCalla at
Guantanamo atfi o'clock this (Sunday)af
ternoon by Lieut. Junkins and Ensigu
Ainsworth, of the collier Abarenda, after
the hottest day's work that American sol
diers or marines have had since the Civil
War. Shells, shrapnel and .steel bullets
whistled all around the earap throughout
the day and the big guns of the Marble
head and Texas thundered at intervals.
Thoy were accompanied by the roar of
howitzers stationed on the hillside, aud
the almost continous cracking of rifles.
The bills around Guantanamo echoed
and reechoed the reports of explnading
shells, which fell in the hollow where for
:W hours the Spanish sharpshooters had
lodged and made life a bell for the ma
rines who escaped their bullets, aud mut
ilated in the most horrible manner the
bodies of the four whom they succeeded
in killing. The camp is situated at a
knob near the shore. Ordinarily such a
location would be an ideal one, but the
brush and shrubbery are so thick and
other hills and mountains so near that it
presented a conspicuous target for the
bullets of the enemy, who were sneaking
in the grass. Before tho day was over
some of the officers of the marines were
ready to admit that th place was unten
able and should be abandoned. That w as
after the Marblehead and Panther and
the collier Abarenda had shelled tho en
tire neighborhood.
