JoHNsTowN, Oct. %, 1867.
To the Editor Of The AHeghanian
The other day, man named Callag-
han, while fooling with circular saw in
the turning establishment of Dunfee 4 Son,
had one of his fingers taken off and his
hand otherwise badly laeerated.
A man named Barnett, an employee of
the Johnstown Mechanical Works, had
one of his feet badly crushed while erect
ing an ice cutter On the pier of the bridge
which connects Millvi,le and Johnstown
Borough.
A lady who is subject to fits had mar
row escape from death last week. She was
walking on the railroad track, short dis
tance east of town, when she was attacked
by convuls;on fortunately, two gentle
men ON :heir way up from Conemaugh
perceived the condition of the lady and
had her removed to a house near by. A
few minutes afterwards, the Express
train camo along and would certainly
have crushed her to death had she re-
mained on the track. She was perfectly
paralyzed when removed.
The pipe for the Water Works has
been successfully laid across tie Cone
maugh river to Main street. It expect
ed to have the water in town by the first
of January, '68.
The Starlight Ministries Of this place
gave their first annual ball on Friday
evening, Oct. 25th, at Hansman's Hall
This troupe bids fair to become one Of the
best in the State Do.
Is IT Nor So?-We feel confident
that all of our readers who have visited
c. T. Roberts jewelry store will agree
with us in saying that it is the finest es-
tablishment of its kind outside of che
large cities. His stock embraces every
description of jewelry, clocks, watches,
musical instruments, books, stationery,
notions, &C., all which are sold at the
very lowest possible figure. Go and see
the articles and examine the schedule Of
prices.
WHAT Is THE USE What is the use
of trimming lamp, if you never Intend
to light it? What is the use of grasping
wrong, if you never intend to fight it ?
What is the use of buying coat, if you
never intend 10 wear it What is the
use of house for two, if You never intend
to share it? Talking of coats, if you
want to buy one, or any description of
ready, made clothing, go TO Thompson's
I A MATTER OF IMPoRTANCE-If You
go to Johnstown soon-and we know that
you will, for everybody goes to Johnstowu
as often as possible-make it point to
visit E. Leopold & Brother, on Main st.
This firm keeps the largest, best, and
cheapest clothing store in that place, and
if you need anything in their line, you
cannot do better than buy from them.
AT THE CoRNER-Mills & Davis, the
popular High street merchants, pride
themselves, first, that they have got the
largest and most tasteful store-roou in
town second, that they have the largest
ard most varied stock of goods in town ;
and third, that their prices are the lowest
in town. They have certainly good cause
fox selfgratulation.
You BET If the late fires in this
section of couotry were the work of in
cendiarism, Gas many suppose them to have
been,) we will bet ten cents against tin
whistle that the incendiaries never read
the Bible, went to a public school, nor
bought dollars worth of goods at A. A.
Barker's mammoth mercantile bazaar.
THE VERY REAsoN.-The reason why
V. S. Barker's store is go immensely pop
ular is because all goods sold there are
warranted to be exactly as represented
if they prove otherwise, the money is re-
funded. People like to buy "on the
square," and therefore go to Vallie's.
