Memoranda . Nicholas Vandevinder
vfli tried at the late Quarter Sessions of
Indiana county for the murder of his son-jD-lavvi
John 15. I3ower9, and was acquit
ted on the ground of insanity. The jury
were out twenty-?ix hours hefore arriving
at a verdict.. ..They are talking of found
ing an academy at Altoona....The half
foot of dust covering our streets was suc
cessfully bid on Thursday night last by a
heavy rain ptorm.... little boy named
Foust was instantly killed at Altoona a
few days since by being run over by an
tine. Judging from the number of
accidents occurring in that place,
J'emuat bo held by a very uncertain ten
ure there A catfish twenty inches in
length and weighing seven pounds was
caught on an outline at Lewistown a few
nights since... A very important announce
ment is made in the closing paragraph of
Mr. 11. A. McCoy's advertisement, in to
day's paper. See it!... A young man
named Cain, a resident of Iluutingdon
county, was lately killed on the Tyrone &
Clearfield railroad by being run over by a
freight train A man named William
McIIecry wax kii'ed in a coal bank near
0-ceola, Ciearfkl.i county, on the 27th
vViruo, by a slip of the coal.. ..Probably
Lie of our readers will remember a story,
polished in the papers a few months
since, to the effect that one Hans tirafi
hud died in Holland and hit to his de
K'etidantu, tome of whom are said to live
in this State, a fortune of 875,000.000.
A late letter from the Miuuter to the
Hague, to whom letters of inquiry were
addressed on the subject, conveys the in
formation that the report, especially in so
fir as the fortune is concerned, is entirely
groundless A man in Lewitown has in
his possession an Knglish liiblo which
vras printed in 1G34, 233 years ao
jew days" ago, a man, while htanding in
"Woodbeiry township, Blair county, shot
acc3jj;!e off a tree in Catharine township.
The lird measured six feet one inch from
tip to tip V man from the rural dis
tricts either lost his pocket book or had it
stolen in this place on Friday last. .It
contained about 855 The Freeman, as a
last card before the election, stated that
"last fall TUt Alliyhain'mi asserted that no
man an Ic deprived of a vote because he
is what is calkd a deserter." The elec
tion is now orer, but it is still probably
not too late to say that the foregoing
statement, like a groat many other state
ments emanating from the same source, i.s
cot true.. ..Henry 11. Shaffer, of Cone
Eaugh township, was substituted on the
Democratic county ticket as a cmdiJate
for Auditor, in place of Mr. Allen, who
declined to run.... Argument Cuurt met
in thi? place on Wednesday of ht week,
and continued in ses.-ion one day.. ..Mr.
Jacob Xagle, of Clearfield township, had
one of his legs fractured in two places on
Sunday week by a horse which he was ri
ding breaking through a bridge.. ..The
State Fair at Pittsburg was largely at
tended Mr. Thomas J. Chapman has
been appointed Superintendent of Com
mon Schools for Cambria county, vice
Mr. J. Frank Condon resigned. Mr. C.
has long been a practical teacher, and is
one of the editors of the Tcac7ier$' Advo
cute, published at Johnstown. He is em
inently qualified for the position to which
he has been appointed.. ..The reunion of
"ie lotmcr employees of the "Old Portage
Moall.aUr,,ad'" held at Summit on Tuesday
:-a. " -lut- 5 $:0C to ?200. A per ten., r , J
a:cht of last week, is said to have been a
prand affair. But Governor Geary wasu't
there We are requested to announce
that the winter session of the public
schools of Ebensburg will begin ou next
Monday, 14ih instant. ...We are glad to
notice that our friend Jack llhcy has t-o
far recovered from his late illness as to be
able to be around ajrain....On the eve of
the late election, a slanderous circular was
distributed throughout the county, villi
Jying and abum in outrageous terms
certain candidates for office and their cs
pccial political friends. The time ha
gone by for this species of tlectioneerio
The people are no longer led by appeals
to their passions aud prejudices, but by
appeals to their reason, licsides being
practically useless, this circular was blan
derous and disgraceful, and we hope never
to see its like again There was never a
finer yield of potatoes in this section than
this fall.. '..Head all the new advertise

The Poor House. On Monday of last
week, two of the three Directors of the
Poor of Cambria county met af. the Poor
i'louse and made the iollowing appoint
ments :
SteicarJ, A. D. Criste, of Munster.
Treasurer, Geo. C K. Zahm, of Cam
bria township.
Physician, Dr. W. Lemtaon, of Ebens
burg. Since the reconstruction of the Board
of Directors by the election of Mr. Thom
as in the stead of Mr. OrrN, it is not im
probable that the foregoing appointments
will be reconsidered.
A Challenge. The following chal
lenge appears in last week's issue of the
New York Clipper:
"Ma. Queen I nm informed that there is
a man in Johnstown, Pa., who boasts that he
! can beat any working man in a one or two
hundred yards race, ana noi knowing his ad
dress, I writ to say that I will back a man
who works hard every day to run David Da
vis (I believe that's the name) cf Johnstown,
lt., a race of one or two hundred yards for
$200 or ?30O, to run in two weeks from the
first deposit. An answer through the C ip
per, or by mail, to Thos. Evans, Lochie! Iron
Works, Pa., will be promptly attended to.
If this is not accepted, any other working
man in tho same place can have the same
show."
Death of a Gallant Soldier. We
are pained to chronicle the death of Col.
John D. O'Connell, which occurred in
Xew Orleans two weeks ago. lie was
a graduate of West Point, and had served
fifteen years in the regular army. He
fought gallantly throughout the rebellion,
and was several times severely wounded.
The deceased was a ten of William O'
Counell, dee'd., and was born and reared
in Cambria township, lie died of yellow
fever, and we hear that his wife fell a
victim to the name disease the same day
The Beethoven Troupe. On Sat
urday eveuiog lut, the Deethovea troupe
of Johnstown gave a musical entertain
ment in this plaoe. Their singing was
truly artistical, aud their selections excel
lent. They were listened to with delight
by a full house. On Monday the troupe
sang at Carrolltown, on Tuesday at St.
Augustine, on Wednesday at Loretto, aud
to-night they will again sing here. Let
them be greeted by a full house.
Married On the 5th September, at
the residence of the bride, by llev. T. 11.

to Mrs. Mary Puh, of Johnstown.
Ou the lHth September, by the same,
at the residence of Mr. Evan Morgan,

Miss Jennie Charles, of Ebensburjr.
We received with the latter notice a
large and delicious cake, for which the
happy couple have our sincerest thanks.

ACCIDENT TO DB. S. 8. CHRISTY A SLIGHT
JOKE BASE BALL, AC.
Loretto, Oct. 7, 18C7.
To the Editor of The Alleghanian :
Dr. S. S. Chri?ty, formerly of your
town, met with an accident on'Tuesday
night, at the Summit, which may prove
fatal. He was standing on the steps of
ltiffell's hotel, leaning oil his staff, when
the ftafl gave way and hj fell backward,
striking hi3 head against a stone with
such force as to produce concussion of the
brain. He was some better when I last
heard from him, hue was still very low.
.There was a slight joke played on Mr.
P. II. Shields, of this place, in Pittsburg,
during the State Fair. The joke was in
the shape of the extraction of the gentle
man's pocket-book lrom his pocket with
out his knowledge or consent. The book
contained a considerable sum of money.
Following is the score of a game of
base ball played here on the 28th ultimo,
between the "Elms" of this place and a
picked nino lrom the Summit :
Innings 123 45 fi 789

ready-made clothing and other articles
usually kept in a clothing store, all which

bly low prices. A good clothing store
