Hall" iu Philadelphia iu 1761. The pamphlet is entitled a "Continuation of the Account of the Pennsylvania Hospi tal, from the first of May, 1754, to the fifth of May, 1761, with an alphabetical list of the contributors, and of the lega cies which have been bequeathed, for promotion and support thereof, from its first rise to that time." Benjamin Frank lin was one of the founders of the Penn sylvania Hospital, and acted as a manager of the institution for a term of years. The pamphlet was printed while Penn sylvania was yet a province of Great Britain fifteen f years before the Declara tion of Independence. Its old age, and the relation it sustains to the immortal Franklin, combine to render this musty old book of peculiar value to the biblio maniac. The corner-stone of the Penn sylvania" Hospital was laid the 28th May, 1755, and bore the following inscription : In the year of CHRIST MDCCLV GEORGE the Second happily reigning (For he sought the Happiness of his People,) Philadelphia flourishing (For its Inhabitants were public-spirited,) This Building, By the Bounty of the Government, And of many private Persons, Was piously founded. For the Relief of the Sick and Miserable ; Hay the God of Mercies Bless the Undertaking. An Eventful Life. Our old friend and subscriber, Emericus Beuder, Esq., of Carroll township, has sent us the fol lowing brief history of his life : "I came to this country with my parents, from Germany, in the year 1798. We took passage at Hamburg, and arrived in Phila delphia in November. I was bound out to Col. Caleb Davis, No. 4 South Third Street, who sent rue to school. The following year, 1799, just before Christmas, the school mas ter said there would be no school next day, for General George Washington would be buried that day. I was at George Washing ton's funeral and I suppose there is no oth er man in this county who can say as muck. I was bound out when I was 14 years old, to serve six years. After my ttrm of service had expired, I came to Loretto, Cambria co., on the 14th day of April, 18C5. My father had gone there three years before, fn 1807, Ucv. Demetrius A. Gailitzin got authority from Henry Drinker and Jacob Downing, who owned eight tract3 of land near Carroll town, for three settlers to make choice of one hundred acres each of that land, at one dol lar per acre. Thomas Byrne got the first choice ; I got the second ; and Conrad Lu ther got the third. My two neighbors have been dead from forty to fatty yeais, so I am the only- living one who settled here when the country was a wilderness. I am b3 years old. I was a juryniau at the first Court held in this county. I have been County Auditor, and in 1827 was elected County Commission er. In that year, Paul Benshoof, David Todd, and myself, Commissioners, contracted with Arnold Downing to build the present Court House." Cambria County Insurance Co.

To the Editor of The Alleghanian : A larre and enthusiastic meeting in favor cf securing the rights of our natu ralized citizens abroad was held at Frou heiser' Hall on Saturday evening. The meeting was ably addressed by Col. Jacob M. Campbell, the President of the meet ing, and by Capt. Woodruff, Daniel Mc Laughlin, John F. Barnes, and Gen. Jas. Potts. Resolutions were passed in favor of memorializing Congress on the subject. Nimrod McAlear, au employee ot the Cambria Iron Company, met with a seri ous accident one day last week. Ho is employed in ruuniog down the iron from the blast furnaces to the rolling mill. On the day of the accident he wu taking a few cars down, when the brake snapped off and the train became unmanageable. On attempting to jump to the ground, he fell, and his head struck a rail, thereby fractuVmg his skull. His injuries, though severe, are not necessarily fatal. The weather during the past month has been so cold and unfavorable that a num ber of the employees of the Johnstown Mechanical Works have been dropped from the rolls for the time being. John Crofton, an employee of the C. I Co., had one of his feet badly crushed by a piece of soapstone falling on it, the otn er dav.
