working order our engine, which has been
lying in rust and obscurity the last year

, DIED-In this place, on Tuesday even
, ing, goth instant, Demetrius Augustine
, Conrad, aged about 33 years. The de-
f ceased was born in Allegheny township,
Cambria county, and was we'll known, not
only here, but throughout the entire
western part of the State. He was a YER
liable dwarf in size Though 33 years of
age, he had attained the hight of only 40
inches, while his weight was so pounds.
His physics! parts were exquisitely pro-
portioned throughout. But, though a
mere atom of humanity, he Was no dwarf
we'll read, and could make a speech o.
write letter. His friends, whose name
is legion, for his social qualities were
such as to endear him to everybody, will
drop many a tear to the memory of Gilt
tie X" The remains were removed to
Loretto for interment on Wednesday.
A CLERICAL LIBELER.-We learn
from the Philadelphia Mercury that at
the late term of Quarter Sessions in and
for that city; Rev. j. L. Richards, of the
Welsh Congregational church at Twelfth
and Filbert streets, was tried on a charge
of libelipg Mr.. J. H. Davis, treasurer of
the church. The libel was contained in
manuscript letter, and consisted in at
tributing hypocrisy and dishonest course
of life to Mr.. Davis. The reverend IL
beler was found guilty in manner aud
form as he stood indicted.
Mr.. Davis, the prosecutor in this case,
was reared from boyhood to mans estate
in this neighborhood. His character
here, where he is best known, is beyond
reproach, and his many friends will be
glad to see this charge against his integ-
rjty SO signally disproved.
