EToHINas.-The grounding which hi
bernates in this section certainly saw his
shadow on Thursday last, Candlemas day.
Wherefore, we infer we are going to have
SIX weeks more ice and sled-runners be-
fore spring sets in... Tt is stated no licen-
ses will hereafter be granted by the Cam.
bria County Court, unless application
therefor is made through regular attor-
ney. Those interested should make a
note. .Lieut.-Col. Jno P. Linton, of the
54th P. v, has been discharged from the
service on account of wounds received in
battle, and is now at home. "A National
Bank has been established at Blairsville,
with William Maher President, and Sam
ueI Ray Cashier. Messss. Jos. Cole and
+. P. Tierney, of this county, whose ar
rest by the Provost Marshal on the charge
of putting bounty Jumpers into the army
We have before noticed, have been removed
from Hollidaysourg to Harrisburg, to
undergo court martial. DR.. j. l.. Bral-
lier, also of this county, implicated in the
same transaction, has not yet been arres-
ted. The provost guard for Cambria
county, to the number of twelve or fifteen,
have arrived here, and taken up their
headquarters at the "Mountain House"
for the winter.
THE DRAFT.-Now that the Peace fall
lacy has been exploded, We hope to see
the people of Cambria county going to
work with will to put in their quota
under the impending draft. The time
remaining in which this may be done is
short. Prompt and energetic action is
therefore required.
Seeing that the discussion OF the peace
question has almost totally stopped vol
unteering of late, the time for the draft
may be extended, so as to allow of an eff
fort upon the part of the people to I'LL up
our armies by voluntary enlistment. 1t
were safer, however, to be governed by the
belief that the time will not be extended,
and to act accordingly.
The quotas of the different sub districts
have not yet been promulgated, but very
close approximation to the correct figures
may be arrived at by dividing the whole
number enrolled in each sub district by
four. One in four will be about the pro-
portion of men required.
DEER.-The Altoona Tribune says that
deer are exceedingly plenty in the noun
tains in that neighborhood the present
winter. Old hunters say they are of
different species from the deer usually
found there-larger, and with different
shaped antlers. The theory is that, be-
coming wearied of wars alarms, they have
left the mountains of Virginia and Jour-
neye6 in this direction in quest of peace
and good pastures.
THoMPsoN's CoLUMN.-Like Baruum,
James M. Thompson, at the p o. store,
Ebensburg, understands the value of prin-
ter's ink. For proof of this, see his gay
and festive column advertisement on this
page. Unlike Barnum, however, he nev-
er humbugs his customers. For proof of
this, go patronize him once
To THE Polls 1t should not be for
got by the free and enlightened people of
Cambria county, that on the third Friday
9th day. of the present month, the an
nual election for district officers will be
held. Go to the polls on that day, and
vote early and often
BAD News FOR SoIE.-Pro. Marshal
Lloyd has received orders from the War
directing that the names of
all those who paid commutation during
the year 1864 be put in the wheel in the
approaching draft.
FoR RENT.-See advertisement of Office
for rent. The Office in question is in the
central, business portion of town, and
