TIE LoRETT0 Pic -NIC.-We had the plea
s1rc Of bcjug present at the pic-aic held in a
tlightful grove, near the village Of Loretto,
ol "Wednesday last, and must say that we
never witnessed social reunion more in ac-
cord with true enjoyment and proper deco
run. We greeted many friends in attend
nee from Altoona, Jo}snstown, WilmOre,
and other points, and they all concurred in
vxpvessious of delight at the manner in which
the affair was conducted. A large concourse
Of people was In attendance, and scarcely an
angry WQIO even HdS iCiaTNl dtIllO lEC Olu Ol
tappy voices, We did not learn how much
Vas realized in aid of the worthy cause for
which it was gotten up, but doubt not the
sum was exceedingly gratifying.
DEAD.-Mr. Thomas O'Bricn, of Munster
township, who, it will be remembered, was
robbed in the early part of last spring of a
considerable sum in gold and silver, died at
IN hat 10,
ast. Some two weeks ago, we have been
Informed, Mr. OBJ. was on his way TO the
factory with sack of wool, and accidental
y fell from his buggy, receiving internal'in-
iuTies Of such a nature as 70 result in his
death, as above stated. Mr.. O'Brien was
about 20 ' ears of age, and during more thar
half his lifetime resided in Cambria county
His remains were inferred at the Summit OF
Monday. May he rest in peace,
CELESTIAL PHESoMENA.-Mostof Of our cit
liens were attracted to the streets, on Satur
day evening last, to witness pleasing phe
nUna in the appearance of the sky, which
was encircled with two or three large strips
/ Of dark blue, having the setting sun fol
their base. One scientific gentleman assured
w that they were produced by the reflection
Of the suns rays on the new stOrc-room 0
Mills & Davis. We failed to ''sce it in tha
light" but it occurred to us that the prope
reflection for every person to make is tha
the above gentlemen have reduced the price
. Of all their goods in order to close ont thei
stock as far as possible preparatory TO thei
removal 10 their new quarters.
jim CRAMER-We notice elsewhere th
nomination by the Democracy of Blair coun
" Of our whole-souled and doube-breaste'
friend and patron, Jim Cramer. for the offic
Of Sheriff. Jim entered the lists on his OWL
responsibility, some FIVE years ago, as can
didate for County Treasurer, and was electet
by handsome majority over the Republical
nominee. He has lost none of lis persona
popularity since then, and although he ha
harder horse to pull against in the perso
Of Capt. M'keage, we still hope for his tr1
urnphant election this timo. We shall tos
cur hat in an extacy Of glee if Jim shoui
prove the winner in the race.
