ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS DIsAppr.R-
ANcE,-We learn from the JobDstown
Tribune Of last week, that, on the 9th Of
October last, Adam Kemerer, who held
the o1lice of constable in the neighboring
borough of Millville, left his home un,,n
pretence Of going to Blair county for the
purpose Of arresting man for whom he
said he had warrant. On the same dav
the wife Of George Beam, Of Yoder town
ship, LETT her home to visit her mother, as
she said, at Freeport, Pa. Since then.
nothing has been heard Of either Of them,
and sufficient information has been ascer-
tanned to warrant the suspicion that they
have gone off together. Kemerer was
also collector OF State and County taxes
for NilIyille borough, and was consider
ate enough to take away with him about
SIX hundred dollars in public funds. He
left behind him wife and three children.
and his companion in iniquity left two
children to the care Of her deserted hug-
band

IHE LAST BUCKwHEAr CAKB.-.Ro-
meo," of Chest Springs, sends US the fol-
lowing for publication. 1t is very fair
parody on "the last rose Of Summer -
THE LAST BUcKwHEAT CAKE.
\ 'Tis the last buckwheat fipper
! Left baking alone
All the res. of the batter
Is baked now and gone.
No cake of its kindred
No hipper is nigh,
To fill up the griddIe,
Or save me sigh.
LII not leave thee, thou lone one.
To burn DER the fire,
Since good buckwheat fippcr
Is what I desire
Thus kindly butter
Thee On my own plate,
Since thy mates could not Ilnger,
So shalt thou be eat
And may be present
When more come about,
For good buckwheat fiippcrs
Should not be thrown out;
For when I am hungry,
Though bread can be had,
just hand on your clipper
You'll not make me mad.

A NOBLE ACT.-The Johnstown Echo '
Of last week, gives its readers the follow
ing view of one of the many bright spots
in the life and character of Isaac Wike.
Of Wlmore. We do not know when we
have read anything with greater pleas
me:-Some years ago, in the palmy days
Of the Allegheny Portage Rail road. we
got on the freight train at Wilmore to
ride to the head of Plane No. /. On the
way down, a short distance below the
Half Way House." row Summerhin. =
small child was seen sitting directly on
the rail of the track on which we were
running. We saw the child, and the SIGHT
caused the blood to tingle in our veins
In an instant the engineer wihistled down
brakes and reversed the engine, but the
hcadway Of the heavy train could not be
suddenly checked, and we were rushing
fast towards the unconscious child. While
we felt that the death of the child was in
eyitable, the fireman cautiously descended.
to the step Of the engine, and sprincipn
off ran with the feetness of a deer. New
cr shall we forget the suspense of those few
moments. With what breathless, terrible
fear and solicitude did we watch the FIGHT
Of the fireman. He gained sufficiently on
the engine to reach the child Just as it
was about to be crushed into a shapeless
mass, The scene was thrilling indeed
The lives of both were in peril. AS quick
as lightning he seized the child, and the
moment he did SO the bumper (for at that
time there were no COW catchers) struck
his shoulder and sent him whirling, but
soon gaining his equilibrium, he stood
proudly erect with the child safe in his
stalwart arms. At that moment with what
joy and admiration did we gaze upon the
manly 4srm of Isaac WIKE, as he stood
folding to his heart the child which he
had rescued from so horrible death at
the peril of his own life. -

THE BRANCH RoAD.-The Board of
Directors of the Ebensburg and Cresson
Rail Road Company, at their stated meet
ing held in October last, passed resolu-
ton instructing the Engineer to continue
the survey Of the line from the east end
Of Ebcnsburg to the centre Of the town,
by the shortest, most practicable, and
cheapest route, and to make an estimate
Of the actual cost of the proposed addi-
tisl portion. In obedience 10 this resolu-
ton, the Engineer made a report to the
Board on Monday last, and the survey and
estimate being satisfactory, the report was
accepted, and the western terminus fixed
at the south side Of town, Immediately
west Of Centre street. The distauco from
the diamond to the terminus is Just one
fourth OF mile, and the line, by this al
di,oa, viii be increased about two-thirds
Of a mile. We doubt not the change in
the terminus viii be acceptable to most Of
our citizens. We understand several prop
erty-holders have kindly offered to release
30 the company, and donate the ground
necessary for depot purposes.

WHERE TO DO BUsrxEss.-Ip tbes,

WHERE TO DO BUsINEss.-I these
times Of general money pressure, farm.
ers, mechanics and others, who have
goods and wares Of any kind to pur-
chase, naturally seek to do business
where it can be done to the best advan-
tage. We suggest that one of the
methods to find a desirable place where
to make purchases, is to look over the
columns Of the newspaper; as a general
rule, it will be found that those who
advertise, are the most liberal dealers.
The dealer in goods or wares who is in
earnest to keep trade moving, and who
Is anxious to invite customers for the
purpose Of making satisfactory bar
gains, both to seller and buyer, will keep
the public advised of the commodities
he offers for sale. In this age, the adj
'vertlslng men are the business men; in
a vast majority Of cases, the men who
advertise most, do the most business,
and are the most sure to secure an exten-
slve patronage--conscquentIyt the most
certain to be successful. There are ex-
ceptions to all general rules, but the
past experience Of business men an d
business communities is OVERWHELMING
ly in favor of giving general publicity to
any trade or profession, as the means of
its success.
