Dear A0egaanian: Last week [ noticed
on our streets the familiar faces of Col.
Jacob NJ. Campbell, of the 54th P. v,
and James Harrington, chief Bugler in
the same regiment Both look extremely
well, and report their regiment generally
In the same hygienic condition.
A burlesque theatrical representation,
interspersed with the best vocal and In
strumental music which are to be found
in this neighborhood, is to take place at
Union Hall, on Saturday evening next,
for the benefit of destitute soldiers fami-
lies. 1t promises to be quite an affair,
and as the object is very worthy one, it
will doubtless be well attended.
The Fair for the benefit of the new
Catholic church commences on Christmas
eve, and, as preparations have been made
on quite an extensive scale, it will probably
be the event Of the holiday season. The
young ladies under whose auspices the
Fair is to be held, extend cordial invita-
tion to- their Ebensburg friends to call
down during Christmas week, with the
assurance that they will pay the closest
attention to all such visitors.
Mr.. Ellis Williams, having transferred
the theatre of his operations from New
York 20 this city, has been doing quite an
extensive business latterly in the line of
confidence operations He succeeded in
bleeding a number of his friends here to
various sums, amounting in the aggregate
to over hundred dollars, and after hiring
a carriage and pair, smashing the former
and running the latter almost to death, he
found it convenient to make sudden
exit by way of the Somerset road, for parts
unknown, leaving number of disconsolate
friends to mourn his untimely departure
Our streets on Friday and Saturday
were in very slippery condition, and it
was almost unsafe Cor pedestrians to walk
the sidewalks. Quito nrmber of serious
falls occurred, among which was that of a
lady in Kernville, whose arm was broken
by slipping and falling upon the curbstone.
At present writing the weather is as
pleasant as spring day.
s Yours, MAY LEON.

developed faculty of being able to abstain
from drinking a0ater for days, and even
weeks, at q stretch !
