Undertaking
IN ALL ITS BRANCHES

Given particular attention. We are prepared
to eclipse all other establishments in th,
place. Our hearse is unequalled, and oul
Terra Gotta Caskets, and Burial Cases of the
very best manufacture.
Having prepared ourselves for enbalniup
the dead, bodies can be preserved by our
process, in these cases, without any percept-
ible change. Ample time, therefore, is given
relatives to again behold the features of their
departed friends. What is claimed bv our
facilities, is the preservation of the body from
decay so long as may be needful to meet the
necessities occasioned by the event of death
from home, or to satisfy the lodgings of ab-
sent friends. This ordinarily, is all that even
affection can desire. but much more is claimed.
Bodies, in many instances. are preserved for
years. Our facilities protect from intrusion,
fran intermingling with the earth, from
water and from vermin, and therefore, NAV,
at anytime, be removed from one burial place
to another, no smell escaping to render il un.
pleasant TO friends.
An assortment Of Cherry and Walnut Cot.
inns always on hands. Persons coming from
the country for eofins, can always have them
upon short notice. Fine hearses and quiet
horses ALWAYS ready for attending funerals.

A man LOst.-Great Excitement..
Fifteen Hundred men i'm Search
fnr. Him

Last Saturday week a young man who
lived with his parents in Somerset county,
near the Cambria county line, by the name
of Wertz, took bucket from home and said
he was going out to the mountain, near that
place to gather some whortleberries, He
did not come home that night and the pa
rents becoming alarmed, they gathered
some twenty or thirty of the neighbors the
next day and made a search for him, with
out however discovering any signs that
might lead to his recovery. The alarm
spread, and the next day two or three hum
dred persons went to the mountain In quest
OF the missing man, but without avail. The
search has continued every day since, the
numbers still increasing. Yesterday notle.s
than fifteen hundred persons from Jonstown,
and vicinity, started early in the morning
for the Laurel Hill, determined, if possible,
to learn what has become of him. His faith
er, John Wertz, and his mother are almost
distracted during the fearful suspense in
regard to his whereabouts. Laurel Hill is
a dense forest, near fifteen miles wide and
running through the State, full of deep
ravines, whose tortuOus winding from a
labyrinth in which any one may be easily
lost. The thick underbrush, too, makes this
wilderness still more solitary aud dreary.
. The men in search at night built fires at
different points in the woods, to attract If
possible, the attention Of the missing man,
which communicated to the leaves, and the
whole mountain snow one extended field Of
fire, leaving but little prospects for any
thing but the charred remains of Young
Wertz to be recovered If he is ever found.
