The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1867-09-26

or two Ebensburg has been favored with
quite a number of visitors. A portion of
them were here on business, many of them
for recreation, and all seemed to enjoy them
selves.
Cambria's favorite, Gen. Fl. D. Foster, of
dreensburg, spent portion of tie second
week of Court with us, and was engaged in
the trial of an important cause. His friends.
and their name is legion, were glad to greet
him once more in the Mountain village.
Hon. L. W. Hall, the distinguished Sena
tor from the Blair district, paid us a flyiny
visit during Court week. His defeat for re-
nomination has not changed the suavity of
his manners nor impaired his fine social
qualities. He seems superior to the caprices
of caucuses aud conferences.
Hon. John Scott, Hon. s. s. Blair and
Hon. Samuel Calvin were ais in attendance
at Court.
During the last week of the session our
friend from the city of "Brotherly Love-"
Mr.. Theo. NJ. Apple, presented his manly
form and honest countenance in our midst
He is good-Apple-sound to the core.
We had the pleasure, also, of an interview
with Asa II. Fisk, Esq, of Fallen Timber,
and whiled away an agreeable evening in
converse with him.
Then came our rerSatie friend from the
Smoky City, Mr. Wm. C. Murphey. To re-
present the extensive house of which he is a
member Is certainly no chiId' IS play, yet he
does it to perfection. We hope his raids
among US may always be as successful as
that of Herr Breitman.
And last. though far as possible from least,
our warm personal friend, Mr.. Thomas Nc
Herman, Of Altoona. "came among u.s." and
we trust that we did not fail to make his
| brief visit an agreeable one. Mr.. Nick. is
| OF na nSt nd Il;
democrats in Little Blair" and has kind
ly heart and pleasing manners which win
for him the good opinion Of all classes. He
speaks hopefully of the election Of that "bul-
ly boy" Jim Cramer, for Sheriff, and the
success of Messrs. NJ cIntyre and Shusert, the
democratic nominees for Senatorial honors
in his district, to all of which we heartily
respond so mote it be.
