LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

conclusion in our mind that in the matter
of climate Ebensburg is very highly ia
yored. In the Summer we have that cool
aad refreshing breeze ever coming directly
from the mountain-tops Of the everlasting
Alleghanics-that hcalth-giving and in
yigorating breeze that is so sought after
by iuyaIids. In Winter we have-ah-
plenty Of snow for sleighing purposes
Other places generally have only an occa-
sional skift of snow, which merely serves
10 create a desire for bufa robes and
tintinnabulatory fxins but we have an
average of a foot deep of the article from
December the 1st to March the 18th. And
seighing is the salt and pepper of wintry
existence. Besides this, we're going to
have railroad. When we mention that
Ebensburg likewise gives q Republican
majority, the reader can at once see how
infinitely above other men we are favored.
But We amt proud, after all. While in
our hearts We pity the poor denizens of
Johnstown and Hollidaysburg, We still
give them the right hand of fellowship.
EPluribus Unum Two prize banners

count for the distressing affair, He was

The teachers quietly dismissed their sew

being aware that any danger was appre-

guished Now, this is something so out |
cf the common that we feel disposed to
give the Indiana teachers puff; for, had |
the alarm of fire been givcn-as it
usually is in such cases-a stampede wo'd ,
have been created, and many of the chill
dren would doubtless have been killed or
MANNED. Therefore, would that all other
