The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-10-17

Knitting will probably be the prevailing
employment for season. And as each
fair ladye's fingers chase one another with
increasing rapidity around the circle Of
stitches, may the possessor thereof be
cheered by the qualification of knowing
that she is responding to the call of Patri-
otism and Liberty.
We understand it is the intention of
the association to furnish the articles they
may manufacture to the Government at
the selling price, and establish fund for
the relief of the needy families of our vol
unteers with the proceeds. A knowledg ge
of this fact may possibly relieve the mind
of many brave soldier from misgivings
as to the bodily welfare and comfort of
the "dear ones at home"
Will not the ladies-one and aN-join
heartily in this labor of love?
Here is a call for another meeting of
the association:

the Ladies' Association will be held at the
Union chool-house, on FRIDAY EVE next, 18th
inst, at the hour of P. NJ. The Ladies of
Ebensburg and vicinity are respectfully invi-
ted to attend.

in commenting on the probable election of
the Loco -Foco candidate for Assembly in
that county, the editor says that Blair is
not 50 strongly Republican after all All
This as distinction with difference
This IS blowing hot and cold in the same
breath! This is-in short-the difference
between tweedledum and tweedledee =
[P. s.: We can only excuse the ID. 6 S.
for the above startling discrepancy on the
ground that the Election .'sot hard on
him" when he penned it j
By the way: We presume that the
reason why Gallant Little Blair furnished
more than her quota of three months men
is also becauseshe was "Republican coun-
ty." Eth, neighbor?
