The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1853-06-09

| hS9eWe have sent to US O communication
from Jefferson, with the request that we would
publish it. 1t refers to the pleasure experien-
ced by the occupants of Jefferson House, in lis.
tening to the concord of sweet sounds proceed
| ing from the throats of number of canaries,
red birds, &c., which the proprietor and his
ch eff assistant Alick have suspended in cages
from the windows. There can be no doubt but
that these songsters attractive feature of
that excellent Hotel, but, as we have invariably
refused to publish any communications unac-
companied by the authors name, we are obli-
ged to retain it for future consideration.
B9%A good one was told us last evening con-
cerning one ofour county constables. He had
started on Tuesday, with attachments for sever
al witnesses who resided near Jefferson and
succeeded, after great difficulty in finding them,
in persuading gentleman who resides in that
neighborhood to bring the witnesses to Court
The carriage, containing its precious freight,
proceeded upon its 'swinding way on the Plank
Road towards this place, but in passing through
strip of woods, mile west of town, one of
the witnesses, slick, active young fellow, who
was seated upon the back seat of the carriage
very politely jumped through the carriage win
dow and in the darkness of the night escaped
eluding the vigilance of his pursuers. Our can-
stable was therefore much put out but says he
will have the offender before the court to-day,
at the risk of bullets
B9rA party of Gipsies visited our town on
Friday last, who, if their story was correct,
were born in England and descended from some
of the nomadic tribes of Egypt or Arabia. Sew
eral citizens of the town had their fortunes told
by this rowing band, and in return presented
them with their surplus old clo'. With how
much truth they informed them of future good
or evil we are unable to say.
Bas~ John Harris, who was arrested in Colum-
bia, Pa, about two weeks ago, the charge of
an assault and battery, with intent to kill, on
the person of a German, of Johnstown, was
brought to town on Thursday last, with a neat
pair of iron bracelets on his wrists, and lodged
in Jail. His trial will likely take place this
week.
