LOCAL AND PERSONAL
Local Etchings. In this season of
..uost universal rejoicing, let ua gently
aiai our readers that there is a dark
. e to every picture. While you may be
4ing ia H"1 f plenty, others
. j doubt are painfully eking out their cx
xtence to make the two ends meet. We,
n the country, are not so much subject to
:ht extremes of Fortune as in large towns
iisi cities, yet there may be eome who
Ited the kind offices of the charitably dis
J. Think of this, ye who have enough
xd to spare. A man named Warner,
hi!e engaged in attending a threshing
lAcliiu-;. in the neighborhood of George
,:l!tt, Indiana county, a short time siuce,
r aS instantly killed by the cylinder of the
Liachiuo bursting and striking him. A
:;krer on the Kbensburg and Cresswi
T'.ai!roaJ, named Thomas Donahoe, had
. 5 shoulder-bone broken on Saturday last.
he fracture was successfully reduced by
?:. K. S. Rutin. A revival isj in pro-
ro;s in the Methcdist church at Johns
:.an. Sixty-five persons havo professed
:o bo converted, of whom fifty-four have
already united themselves with the church.
-The Johnstown rolling mill was to
ip on lst Saturday evening until after
:h holidays. A lad named George
CriJor, whose parents reside in Millville,
wLlle playing around the rolling mill one
ix last week, thoughtlessly placed his
kui between what is known as the "mer
c'.snt r jlls." The consequence was that
Lis enrire arm was drawn in and crushed
r laiiy as to require amputation on the
-xlu-' day. II. C. Devino, at his
r.jre, one door exst of C. T. Roberts' jew- J
!ry store, has just received a magnificent !
j ksort'iitnt of holiday toys aud candies.
Wt bespeak for Harry a lil2ral share of
public patronage. One peculiarity about
.a wares is this they are a home pro-L.-:wn,
leing manufactured at the estab-
;;cnt of A. Wiemann, in Johnstown.

Old 18G0, with his time-worn and fur
rowed head, is about to yield up his Hour
Glass and Scythe to his successor.
The dying of a year is calculated to
awaken emotions of anything but a pleas
ing nature. It brings to view the fact
that we have passed another landmark iu
the path of Life that we have lessened
the distance to the dread Tomb by anoth
er step. It conjures up before us visions
of broken hopes and blighted affections.
How fit, then, that it should take its ex.it
when all are engaged in scenes of Hospi
tality and Rejoicing.
Old 'GO has been a good year to us.
When it takes its eternal departure for
the land of the Forgotten, its last linger
ing look will be cast on scenes of Prosper
ity and Plenty. It will behold our barns
and garners filled to overflowing with the
plenteous harvest, and ourselves at peace
with God and man.
Let us hope that 01 will be as replete
in blessings for us all.
Farewell Old welcome New.

Xow for our Minor Triumph.
We know with what gusto everything
pertaining to antiquity is seized upon by
the public. When the antiquated thing
lias reference to anything of a national
character, wc also know that the gusto be
comes almost insatiable. Upon this hint
wc have acted. Some time since wc char
tered the t-eivices of an eminent archaeol
ogist, who, after very intricate Fcarehing j
an.l much laborious labor, was so success
ful as to make a startling discovery. He,
in fact, was so extremely and essentially
lucky as to unearth from its long hiding
place a bonnet which at one time belonged
to and was worn "by Lady Washington,
the wife of General Cc-orgo! This is a
prodigious Turn Tp for the present gen
eration. At an expense that cannot be
computed without an enlargement on the
multiplication-table, wc have had it en
"raved, and here present it to the consid
eration of a patriotic public accompanied,
as a matter of interest to the ladies, with
th modern improvement on the same :

We trust that the readers of The Alle

Holiday Illuminated Newspaper line, and
that they will experience as much satisfac

of public catering does not necessarily be

nals as do we in thus successfully bottling
and corking up all competitors.
A happy New Year, friends.

How Tom Sold tub Principal.
Some years since, a wild harum-skarum
sort of fellow, whom we will call Tom,
was being put through an educational
course of sprouts in a rural seminary in a
neighboring couuty. Tom was loud on
practical jokes, considerable on puns, and
a phunny phellowvery much. The post
office at which the students of the afore
said rural seat of learning received their
daily mail being some three or four miles
distant, the boys were obliged to take
turns as postboy, anel walk down for the
documents. It so happened on tho day
on which our friend Tom was to act in
this capacity, thai the Principal of the
academy desired some purchases to be
made for his famil-, after the manner of
necessaries. So he called on Tom, and
putting two 'quarters'' into the latter's
hand, he desired him to expend one for
sugar and the oher for tea. Tom was
agreeable, and as one good turn deserves
another, the Principal placed his horse at
Tom's disposal for the trip. Tom was
soon booted aud spurred, and ready to
start ; but feigning to have forgotten
something of vital importance, he sent for
the Principal in all possible haste. That
worthy dispenser of knowledge, not know
ing what might be wrong, made fibulous
time, and came up puffing and blowing.
Li Wh-wh-what's wrong, Tom?" he breath
lessly articulated. "O," responded Tom,
"7 mrrely xcantid to Jcno'c irhivh of tir.e
'qutrrti m' you intended mi to get tin: su
gar with; but inasmuch a.s it involves a
mathematical problem, and as I am death
on mathematics, 1 will cypher it out as I
o along. I wish you a good morning.
GTang!" And away he went, leaving
the Professor in about the condition of a
bag of wind after a darning needle has
been inserted into it.
The Cause Why. An incident was
related us by a friend the other day, which
we think will do for print. We'll risk it
at any rate. Some few miles north of
Kbensburg there resides a sturdy farmer,
wli3 is a staunch Republican, and withal
a bit of a wag in his own way. A pecu
liarity about him is, that the hair on his
head is very gray, whereas his beard is
very red. JSeing in town a few days
since, aa inquiring individual noticed this
peculiarity about our farmer friend, and
thereupon the following colloijuy ensued :
Inquiring Individual How happens it,
my friend, that the hair on your head is
rrpu vonr whiskers so red ? It is 1
J ' '
certainly singular very.
Jirmvr Not at all. Easily accounted
for easily.
Inquiring Individual Well, why is it ?
IIo-.v do you account for it ?
Farmer Well, I guess, it's none of
your business ; but you see the hair on tut
head is some twenty years older than the
hair on my face ! That's tho reason !
Inquiring individual immediately col
lapsed, and has not since been he&rd of.
It is supposed he has goii'i to the '-ile
regions.
A Citanoe. Our friend, I. P. Thomp
son, who has for some time heretofore
been connected with the firm of 1. I. Pat-
tun cc (Jo., (which firm has retired from
business,") ha- taken up his quarters with
' tit. '
Agard & Co., wholesale dealers in Hats, ;
Caps Htraw (i Kids, Ac., 3:5 Market St.. I nminced the handsomest magazine m Ameri
.... , , ... , , ' ca. It contains n Catalogue of Premiums, and
l'hiladelphia, where he will be happy to j
greet customers. As Ben is emphatically
and undeniably a good fellow, it is useless
for us to request for him a coutinuance of
patronage from former customers for any
one who has bought from him once will
do the same again. We would therefore
suggest to those who do not belong to
the above class, and are in need of any
of the articles in his line, that they imme
diately enrol their names on his list of
regular customers. That's all.
Affray at l mmityii.lk. On Mon
day night, 17th inst , between VI and 1
o'clock, an unfortunate circumstance oc
curred in uuimitville, the particulars of
which are furnished us as follows : Two
young men, named Joseph M'Counel and
John Orner, Jr., both residents of 8um
mitville, when on their way home togeth
er, became engaged in a regular rough
and tumble fight, during the continuance
of which Orner was stabbed in four differ
ent places. The doctor on the following
day made an examination of the man's
wounds, and pronounced him in a very
critical condition. We are happy to say,
however, that he is now convalescent and
out of danger. M'Connel has not yet been
arrested.

day, 20th inst., by the Iiev. T. Kyan, .Mr.
Uaiinahas Adams, f Washington fwp.,

1 field count v.
Shocking Casualty. On Tuesday,
an old lady named Mrs. Lucas, who re
sides in Johnstown, was burned so severe
ly as to result in almost immediate death.
It appears that she was sitting before a
stove reading, when the paper in her
hand took fire and communicated the flame
to her clothing. The poor woman in her
frenzy rushed out iuto the air, where the
flames obtained audi headway that before
they could be extinguished she was burned
to a perfect crisp. She lingered in great
agony for a few hours and died.
School House Uuiined. On Tuesday
morning, 18th inst., before daylight, the
old red school house, called Conery's
school house, in Munster township, was
burned to the ground, together with the
books of about thirty scholars. There
havicg been no school on the afternoon of
the previous day, aud consequently no fire
in the stove, the presumption is that the
conflagration was the work of some evil
disposed person or persons. The school
house was the oldest one in Munster tp.
Dixie. The popular yell, "I wish I
was in Pdxie," is giving way to a more
expressive aud much more sensible phrase
iu this region. It is simply in these
words: "I will buy my -hosts and shoes,
hats and caps, ready-made clothing, &c,
from C. U. Joues.
