MIR. Clinton h. Jones, formerly OF this
place, but for term of years past resi-
dent of Cranberry Summit, Preston CO.,
West Virginia, has arrived here. lie re-
ports that, during the late raid of the
Rebels through that section, Cranberry
Summit. small station on the B. & O..
R. R, was visited by a body of Rebel
cavalry, comprising some 1000 men,
under command of Col. Harmon, who
held high carnival for the time being on
the wealth and substance of the loyal
residents of that place The mercantile
establishment of Messrs. Ndtter, Evans
and Jones-all Cambria county men, by
the way-was entered by the marauders
and despoiled of its entire contents. Ev-
erything of value that could possibly be
carried off was attached to their horses by
the Rebels, while the more bulky articles
were irremediably DESTROYED. Mr.. Us
estimate of the loss of his firm by this
spolation is set down at about $4,000.
The other stores in the town were treated
in a similar manner. Private houses, as
general thiugy were suffered to. remain
unmolested, and the persons of private
citizens were untouched. Mr.. j. states
that the Rebels were we'll mounted and
well armed. They left Cranberry on Sun
day evening week en- route for Morgan
town, with the expressed determination of
forthwith "invading" Pennsylvania. Mr..
j. furthermore reports that Mr.. Dennis
Iitziuger, another Cambrian, also engaged
in the mercantile business in the immedi-
ate vicinity of Cranberry, had his store
rid out by these same depredators. Hav
ing nothing left to induce him to further
remain in such uncomfortable proximity
to Secessia, Mr. Jones packed up a few
things and came hither by way of Somer-
set. bringing with him his family, to stay
until affairs have quietcd down and the
B. & o. r. r. is again re-opene d.
Our MARKET HoUsE.-We are glad
to learn that our city fathers have at
length decided on taking an active inter-
est in the matter of providing for our
town a much needed building suitable for
market house. Whatever diversity of
opinion may exist as to a proper site, all
will agree that it is vastly to the interests
not only of our citizens but also of .he
farmers in the adjoining districts who
seek a market for their produce, ETC., in
Ebensburg, to have right understanding
as to ,chen and achere they may seek -and
find, respectively, place to purchase and
to sell the various articles of daily con-
sumption for supply Of which we are
dependent on the neighboring farmers.
Wehave seen the plan and elevations, and
if we are Judge, think that if built as
proposed, this Market House will be not
only an advantage but an ornament to our
town The proposed building is to be 40
feet long, with an extension or overshoot
at each end of eight feet, and the whole
SO Pr0portioned and painted as to present
quite neat and attractive appearance
The side view includes four windows
around which an architrave is shown rest
lag on slightly projecting sill, supported
oy neat molding; while the roof SO
0Verhangs the side of the building, resting
On ratters with 5racketed ends, as 10
present as fine an appearance as if it were
lar more costly and strictly classical
eOrmce, with corona and bed-mould,
hliet aad facia, in their exact and relative
situations. We have not room to speak
'Qthcr of this deserving and worthy
enterprise on The part Of our citizens and
council, but say, by all means let the
good work so auspiciously begun continue,
III we can see in reality what young
iriend remarked ne could already see in
lmagInation--a coli of sausage suspended
rom one Of the hooks inside Of the build
