4 ETcH1Nas.-A wedding occurred In
/ Altoona couple of Sundays ago, and two
/ days after being "hitched," the bride ran
away with another fellow.
We understand it is in contemplation
10 make Ebensburg the headquarters for
considerable body of soldiers the present
winter, to act as provost guard and gath
srers-up os deserters throughout the coun-
y.
Deer are said to be unusually plenty in
the neighborhood of Altoona, and MINI
rods are arriving there from all points Of
the compass, to be Gin at the death" of
,one of them.
We would be greatly obliged to our
friends throughout the county if they
would send us, promptly, terse and relia-
bls iottings of all local news transpiriug
in their respective neighborhoods, of in
terest to the general public. A newspa-
paper is made up of jottings, and those of
local character are usually the most ca
gerly sought by the readers of a country
journal Help us along, friends, and per-
haps it may be in our power some day to
throw stone into yoar garden.
Owing TO the high price of paper and
printing materials, .he Tyrone Herald has
discontinued publication.
The oil fever is again raging badly
throughout the country, and companies to
dig TOR the greasy compound are spring
ing into existence by the score.
Thursday of last week and Sunday and
Monday of the present were singing Geld
days.
Those of our storekeepers who have re-
ceived their usual supply of Holiday goods
ought to make the fact known to the pub
lie through the columns Of The Aieyha-
aiqn.
Needs re pairing--the streetcrossing be-
tween Mr.. Fenlon's and Mrs. Stahl's res
licences, High street. In muddy or icy
weather, it becomes almost impossible.
We learn from the Dem. d; Sent that
q conscript by the name of John Sitzler
was shot, on Sunday week, in White tp.,
BY one Of the provost guard. He was
endeavOring to escape from arrest at the
time, and in crossing log was shot thro'
both arms. His arms are said TO have
been badly shattered, and it was thought
smputation would have to be resorted to,
to save his life
Farmers should bear in mind that they
are required to report to the U. S. Asses
sOrs all cattle, hogs, calves and sheep
which they slaughter for sale. The tax
on each head of horned cattle is 40 cents
on each hog, 10 cents on each calf, )
cents; and on each sheep, 6 cents. Re-
port must be made during the first ten
days of each north. 4 failure to make
such return subjects the person so often
ding to severe penalty.
See notice with relation to the revision
OF the enrolment list of this district in
our advertising columns.
Next Wednesday will be the shortest
day of the year, the sun rising at 7.26 a.
m. and setting at 4.34 P. N. After THAI,
the days will commence growing loHSer at
both ends.
The snow is several inches deep here at
present, and the s.eighing is excellent.
The attendance at Court this (the Sec
ond) week is small.
In view of the fact that our citizens did !
not to any great extent contribute to the
late Thanksgiving turkey-beneft to our
soldiers, would it not be happy idea in
them to Go something after the gustatory
line for the "boys" the approaching holi-
days, and thus redeem themselves from !
any imputations of avaric= and uncharita-
6leness that might otherwise be brought |
against them? We think it would and |
peg leave to suggest enough turkey, plum
pudding and mince-pie for a rousing old |
Christmas dinner as the most beftting do
nation, and to name Co. G, 2O9.h 2. v, |
