Com'tii. vs. James J. Kaylor
Jdankr. Two bilb of indictment were
hid before the Grand Inquest of this
county, last week, one charging James J.
Kavlor, Steward of the Cambria county
Poor House, with the murder of Samuel
Gregory, a pauper, and the other charg
ing him with the murder of Zachariah
Morris, also a pauper. The first of these
vris returned ua true bill the other was
ignored.
The case wherein a bill had been tounci i
a brought to trial on Friday evening.
Great difficulty was experienced in secu-
ring a jury, and the panel was exhausted
ifhea only four or five had been accepted
aH swora in. Jy calling on spectators,
however, the requisite number was ulti-
mately obtained, and the case proceeded.
The trial attracted considerable atten
tion, and the Court-rooai was thronged
durin"' its continuance. We did not
take notes of the evidence, but will en
deavor to give from memory the principal
points elicited.
Michael Devlin, the prosecutor, was
called and sworn. lie testified that, in
ISO 1, he was an inmate of the Cambria
county Poor House. In October, of that
year, lie saw Kaylor, the defendant, strike
Gregory over the heal with an iron po
ker, knocking him down, breaking his
j.iw witness thought, and raising a large
kuiae immediately under his eye. He
never spoke, ate, or loft his bed after he
received the blow, and died in the course
of two or three days. Gregory was in
sane, and was confined iu a cell, chained
tube floor, at the time of the alleged oc
currence. Devlin told defendant that an
iaqucst ought to be helilon the murdered
man; whereupon defendant locked him
(Devlin) up in a cell, feeding him on
bread and water, for a week, and threaten
ing to continue the punishment unless he
retr.ipfpr! th fiVnrfe that Grotrorv had
teen murdered. Witness rSfused to do
), and ultimately succeeded ia making
lis escape from the institution, to which
he has never since returned as a pauper.
Jacob Oakiine, Thomas Reesa,nd Tho3.
Setter, paupers, all testified to seeing the
uruise on uregory s iacs ociore ne cieu,
and to the fact that he was unable to eat
or speak after receiving the blow which
produced it. The all agreed in saying
that he died in two. or threo days after
the alleged violence had been offered
j i
ceased.
D. II. Roberts, Esq., testified that the

formation before him about two vcars aro
nargiag Kaylor with the murder of
jregory, but no action of account was
eu ia the premises.
John OJIarro, farmer for the
'oor
aouse, testified that he arranged matters
fir the funeral of Gregory aiter the death
if the latter. He saw the face of de
mised, and was positive there was no
rr . '
we whatever thereon. lie further
more said that deceased did not die until
tie
expiration of two weeks after the date
'n it was alleged by Devlin and others
w Kaylor had struck him.
awo young women domestics employed
Poor House in 18G1 corroborated
testimony of the preceding witness,
J of them stated that Gregory was
JeCt to epilensv. and that durino- the
cews hen he eould neither spoak
r ct, he "went on in one fit after
her mitil he died," he dying in a fit.

ecutor, boarded with him several

the floor.
kCUj lIrner, Director cf the Poor in
1861, testified that lie knew Gregory, who
was hopelessly crazy.
This we believe to be the most impor
tant portion of -all the testimony elicited.
Without waiting for the counsel to put
ia their pleas, the Judge proceeded to
charge the jury. After reviewing the
evidence, and weighing well its more
salient points, he said that the Common
wealth had signally failed to make out
her case. The prosecutor, upon whose
evidetce more particularly a conviction
was looked for, in his story in relation to
the alleged murder had contradicted him
self, in that at one time he said Kaylor
killed Gregory, and at another that Meade
had killed him. He wa3 therefore un
worthy of credence. On the other hand,
.several respectable witnesses positively
swore that no marks of violence were vis
ible on the person of Gregory after his
death, one even declaring that epilepsy
was the direct cause of his death. In
view of these facts, the Judge said, it
it was the plain duty of the jury to acquit
the defendant. . Accordingly, without
leaving their seats in the box, the jury
declared their verdict to bo that James J.
ay0Tf the defendant, was not guilty of
the awfui
crime attributed to him. .
rhe Commonwealth in the case was
represented by District Attorney Noon,
an(j tiie defence by" Messr3. Kittell, Ma-
geban and Johnston.
In and Out. We ought to have men
tioned a couple of weeks, ago that Mr.
James Griffin, the lately elected Register
and Recorder for this county, had been
"sworn in' and that Col. E. FraRk Lytle,
for the three years preceding the incum
bent of the office, had retired to the shades
of orivate life. In chronicling the advent
of Mr. G-, we cannot let the opportunity
ro bv of savins a word iu favor of. his
predecessor. Mr. Lytle, daring his term
attehdea to the duties ot the olhce wel
and faithfully. Courteous, accommoda
tiug, and thoroughly posted as to his
various duties, to transact business with
him was a pleasure; an excellent penman
the records of the county were kept neatly
and so legible that "he who runs may
read ;" always at his post during working
hours, when his services were required
everv one knew where to find him. In
fact, without the least intention of insti
tiiting invidious comparisons, he. was de
cidedly the best Reg. & Rec. the county
has Lad for many a year. May he go on
prospering and to prosper !
Lieut. Peter Kavlou. Tn the first
report of casualties in the fhrht at Rinsr
gold, Georgia, .Lieut. Peter Kaylor, o
the 28th Penna. Vols., was put down as
"mortally wounded." Subsequent reports,
however, state that he is ''wounded in the
leg" upon which the hope is based that
he may not be injured beyond the possi
bility of recovery. Lieut. K. is a native
of this county, and has been in the service
over two years. He was badly wounded
at Chancellorville, and fell into the hands
of the rebels, by whom he was paroled
and sent Noith. On recovering, he again
lninpd his cnmmnv. and 2jrain is he re-

r
ly hope, for a braver man or truer patriot
than Lieut. Kaylor never raised sword in
defence of our common countrv.
An Old Tree. D. Peelor, Civil En
gineer, (and late clerk in the Surveyor
General's Department of Pennsylvania,)
who is engaged surveying on the Alle
gheny Mountains, informs the editor of
the MifHintowu Sentinel that on the top ot
the Laurel Hill, in Cambria county, he
fhnrrd a white oak tree cut down, meaeur
ing fourteen and a half feet in circumfer
ence, and whose age is four hundred and
ten years. According to this age, which
was shown by the number of circles in
the bark, the tree must have been a sap-
ling forty 'years before Columbus discover-
Amrrirn.
Fatal Disease. The Hollidaysburg
Standard says that a terrible disease, said
to be malicnant diDtheria or scarlet fever,
c
prevails to an alarming extent in Clearfield
and White townships, Cambria county,
just adjoining DIair county. In one family
seven out of eight members have died of
the disease in another ave out of six
and there is scarcely a family in the
neighborhood which does not mourn the
loss ot one or more of its members. Over
two hundred persons are said to have died
the disease within a month.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.'
Joiinstown, Dec. 14, 1863.
Dear AUejJianian : . Last week I noticed
on our streets the "familiar faces of Col.
Jacob M. Campbell, of the 54th P. V.,
and James Herrington, chief Bugler in
the same regiment. Both look extremely
well, and report their regiment generally
in the samo hygienic condition.
A burlesque theatrical representation,
interspersed with the best vocal and in
strumental music which are to be found
in this neighborhood, is to take place at
Union Hal), on Saturday evening next,
for the benefit of destitute soldiers' fami
lies. It promises to be quite an affair,
and as the object is a very worthy one, it
will doubtless be well attended.
The Fair for the benefit of the new
Catholic church commences on Christmas
eve, and, as preparations hare been made
on quite an extensive scale, it will probably
be the event of the holiday season. The
young ladies under whose auspices the
Fair is to be held, extend a cordial invita
tion to-their Ebensburg friends to call
down during Christmas week, with the
assurance that they will pay the closest
attention to all such visitors.
Mr. Ellis Williams, having transferred
the theatre of his operations from New
York to this city, has been doing quite an
extensive business latterly in the line of
confidence operations. He succeeded in
bleeding a number of his friends here to
various sums, amounting in the aggregate
to over a hundred dollars, and after hiring
a carriage and pair, smashing the former
and running the latter almost to death, he
found it convenient to make a sudden
exit by way of the Somerset road, for parts
unknown, leaving a number of disconsolate
If. 'ends to mourn his untimely departure.
Our .streets on Friday and Saturday
were in a very slippery condition, and it
wa3 almost unsafe f?r pedestrians to walk
the sidowalks. Quite a number of serious
falls occurred, among which was'hat of a
lady in Kernville, whose arm was broki?u
by flipping and falling upon the curbstone.
At present writing the weather is as
pleasant as a spring day.
Tours, May Leon.
Court Proceedings. Gum Smith
and George Cupp, the two young men
from Johnstown charged with horse-stealing,
were tried for the offence last week,
and acquitted. To several minor charges
pending against them, such as riot, assault
and battery, &c, they plead guilty, and
were sentenced by the Court to pay a fine
of 315 each and costs . of prosecution,
and to undergo an imprisonment of two
months in the county jail.
Com. vs. Isaac Wike : Assault and
battery on the body of Capt. William K.
Hughes, at Wilmore, on last election day.
Verdict, not guilty, and prosecutor and
defendant to each pay half the costs.
Com. vs. John JJeers : Assault and
battery upon Samuel Donley, in White
township, on election day. Guilty, and
sentenced to pay a fiue of SI and costs of
prosecution.
Court adjourned on Saturday at noon.
The attendance throughout the week was
large. . ,
Is It So ? Our devil positively asserts
that the Campbell of the Johnstown Dem-
orrat and the camel of Van
Amburg's
menagerie belong to one and the same
order of mammalia, in that both are
bearers of burden and both remarkable
for nothing so much as for their well-
developed faculty of being able to "abstain
from drinking water for days, and even
weeks, at a stretch !
Sloped. 15en. Itodgcrs, the
voanr
man who was locked up for aiding in the
c
escape of Smith and Cupp from our county
jail on Monday week, and was subsequent
ly let out on bail, has evaded justice by
slopiiig for parts unknown.

I do this the more reau.'lj inregard to
Hoofland's German Bitters, prepared by Dr.
C. M. Jackson, of this city, because I vas
prejudiced against them "for many vers,
under the impression that they were chiefly
an acloholic mixture. I am indebted to my
friend Robert Shoemaker., for the removal of
this prejudice by proper tests, and for en
couragement to try tbem, when suffering
from great and long continued debility. The
use of three bottles of these Bitter?", at the
beginning of the present year, was followed
by evident relief, and restoration to a decree
of bodily and mental vigor which I hadnot
felt for six months before, and had almost
despaired of regaining. I therefore thank
God and my friend for directing me to ue
them. - J. NEWTON BROWN.

Philadelphia, Augost 12, 1862.
Dr. C. M. Jackson Dear Sir : While in
Virginia, owing to the change of water, I was
taken with a severe diarihoea, which seemed
incurable, and which greatly weakened me.
When we reached Martinsburg, I feared that
I should have to come home ; but noticing
some of your Bitters in the store of Mr. U. II.
Price, in that tow, I purchased a supply, and
on taking it was speedily restored to health.
The diarrhoea was quickly checked, and I
experienced no r&urn of it. A numbef of
my comrades who suffered in Ihe same
manner and from the same cause, with whom
I shared thi Bitters, join me in this certificate.
I expect to return to the seat of war with the
Legion, and I shall certainly take a supply of
the Bitters In my knapsack. I would not be
without it for its weight in gold, particularly
on going into a limestone region.
