: "" TnE Trienwiax Assessmint." The
re6ul of , the triennial assesamen of the
real estate of Cambria county for 1868
has been- published. The figures place
the valuation of the .whole oanty at
$2,262,936; but it must be remembered
that the real value is five times the ap
praised valuation- or over $11,000,000.
Millville borough is appraised at $356,
580, and is the richest district in the
county. Summitville borough is apprais
ed at $5,309, and is the poorest district in
the county. J phnstown and suburbs are
valued at SS40.000, while Ebensburg is
valued at $84,000. The Johnstown Tri
hune lays great stress on the disproportion
between these figures, and exultingly ex
claims, "Johnstown is worth ten times
Ebensburg." True; but it should be re
membered that the value of Ebensburg
has been brought to its present dimen
sions by the sturdy, plodding industry of
its inhabitants, while Johnstown owes its
wealth mainly to the accidental introduc
tion of the Cambria Iron Works, based
on outside capital, into it's midst.

To the Editor of The Alleghanian :
A child of Mra. Uoy firs, of Rharnsburg,
aged eighteen months, was scalded to
death one day last week by the upsetting
upon it of a tub of hot water.
Mr. A. Akers, of the firm of Akers &

spondent a monster beef tbe other day.
It weighs 2,600 pounds, measures nine
feet six inches in length, and nine feet
four inches in girth, and stands nineteen
hands high. Who cau beat it ?
A disturbance occurred in a lager beer
saloon here the other day, during the
continuance of which a young man named

from the door of Mr. John J. Murphy's
store a couple of days ago. A reward of
$20 is offered for information that will
lead to tbe detection of the thief. Store
door stealing has become quite common
here of late.
