FrtaM Jounstown. A correspondent
writing from Johnstown, says : "On
Sunday evening, the 5th inst., at about
7 o'clock, our community was startled by
an alarm of fire, which was caused by the
breaking out of the devouring element in
a little frame building on Canal street
occupied by one Kelly aa a urinking sa
loon. A crowd of men and women were
soon on the spot, and the work of demoli
tion commenced axes hewing away the
middle flooring, and excited men pitching
out furniture of every kind, which was as
promptly pitched "in again" by the friends
of the owner. In a brief time, much to
the relief of property owners on that
street, the fire was extinguished, and the
citizens of our city have much reason to
congratulate themselves on the fact that
they escaped, even though by mere
chance, a terrible and destructive fire, as
the wind was blowing fearfully at the
time, and no judgment could decide when
the frightful element could have been
ehecked, if once it had got fairly started.
Of course, on Monday morning tho ustfal
gas was wasted about the immediate or
ganization of an efficient fire company.
"Thes efficiency of the police force of
this town was well illustrated by an in
cident lately occurring. An individual
who had not the fear ot the law before his
tyes was arrested for the larceny of an
article of wardrobe of considerable value,
and placed in duress within the hallowed
walls of that massive structure known as
"The Jug," there to be kept till such time
as he could be removed to the county jail.
Tho morning following the arrest, the
Constable took the prisoner his breakfast;
and, beiug requested to do so, proceeded
to procure a pitcher of frc9h water, forget
ting, in his haste to be accommodating, to
lock the door after him. Imagine his
surprise and horror, on returning with
the water, to find the cell vacant, the bird
flown, and the law cheated of at least one

A Family of Felons. The extraor

na, to the estimated value of S3,000. The
jury found the entire batch guilty of lar
ceny, some in the first and some in the
second degree, with the exception of Per
ry G. Burkholder, who was found not
guilty, and John Bishop Cousins "Ware,
who saved his hide by turning State's evidence.
At ttje Last. "We find the following
announcement in the Pella, Iowa, Blade

M. Wentz, on the loth of October, Mr. John

Fire. A destructive fire occurred in
Indiana boro. on the 27th ulr. The
flames broke out in the stable of Mr. A.

Obituary Communicated. Died,
on Thursday, Oct. 26th, Francis Lincoln,
infant son of Rev. A. and 3. A. Baker,
aged 0 months and 21 days.
Farewell, dearest one I thou art gone to
the grave. Thy parent, loved thee oh 1
how- fondly did they love thee. That
tongue that prattled so sweetly, and that
smiling face that beamed on them so lov
ingly how they bound thee to their
heart3 I But our Savior has taken thee
to Himself. Thanks be unto God, which
gives even babes the victory through our
Lord Jesu3 Christ. It oothes the hearts
of the parents when called to bow by the
lifeless form ot their little Frankie to
know that the Savior now carries him
gently in Hi3 besom, far away from the
pains and sorrows of earth. Whilst they
keenly feel that one is missing, and that
their bouse is desolate, yet the belief that
their dear one is forever happy gives them
joy even in tho midst of their bitter an
guish. "Bring another earth-bud for this coronal I"
"Was the seraph's mandate givett
To the reaper, Death the messenger came,
And our Frankie transplanted to heaven.
In a "glory wreath" round the Savior's brow,
Undimmed by the shadows of even,
Unfolding, expanding, eternally now
Is our earth-flower, our Frankie, in heav'n.
For the Savior loved the sweet lambs' of the
flock
For such was life-blood given
And while on earth, He blessed them and
spake :
"Of such is the kingdom of heaven I"
Mr. and Mrs. Baker desire to embrace
this opportunity to express their sincere
thanks to their friends for their kind at
tention during the illness and funeral of
their child. W.
Barrett's Life of Lincoln. Mr.
"Wm. B. Brown has now ready for deliv
ery to subscribers the "Life of Abraham
Lincoln," by Joseph II. Barrett, Commis
sioner of Pensions at "Washington, D. C.
The work contains the early history, po
litical career, and speeches in and out of
Congress of Mr. Lincoln ; also a general
view of his policy as President of the
United States, together with his messages,
proclamations, letters, etc., and a history
of his eventful Administration and of the
scenes attendant upon his tragic and la
mented demise. We havo given it a
cursory perusal, and it appears to be a
most valuable work. It is well printed
and bound, and contains numerous finely
executed engravings. Mr. Brown will
furnish the book to subscribers forthwith;
those living in the country who may
happen to be in town will call on him at
Moore's Mountain House and get their
copies. Any person who has not yet sub
scribed but desires to have the work, will
make his wishes known immediately,
that there may be no delay in procuring
the same.
Mr. Brown has accepted an agency for
" Sherman and nis Campaigns." He
will wait upon the citizens of Ebensburg
and Cambria Tp. to subscribe.
A Cold Winter Coming. Thoe who
pretend to "weather-wisdom" predict that
we will have an early winter, a long one,
and a Etrong one. One of their signs is
that birds early took their flight south
ward ; and another that tho husk of the
growing corn was very thick and covered
the ears to the very ends a never failing
proof that overcoats and fuel will be in
demand.
