ic fraternity. The members q the order
who participated were in full regalia, and
presented very imposing appearance. The

Thomas of Juhnstown, was an exceedingly
eiouusut and mesterly effort. The singing
was under the direction Of Prof. Delo, ard
was charmingly rendered. The church is

DruocP .T1C COUNTY MEETING.-A large
o,6 verv sririted meeting convened at the
9, ITo1se on Tuesday evening, 8th,
;not and was organized, after a few appro-
nriate remarks from the Chairman OF the
Eonntv Committee, Capt. Ii. d. Woodruff,
nv calling on r. L. Johnston, Esq, to pre-
side. and appointing the usual list OF VICE
Presidents and Secretaries.
After calling the meeting 10 order the
President introduced r. Milton Speer, Esq,
of Huntingdon, who proceeded to address
the large assem- mblage, but 1T was SON Gls-
covered that the Court House was too small
n Accommodate the immense crowd. and on
motion the meeting adj urned to the out
side. From the steps of Mr.. Johrst rs
residence Nr. Spcer proceeded with his
speech. aud for more than an hour held
his listeners spell bound. Twice before
in Cambria County has Mr.. Speer's voice
been heard in defense Of Democratic prlnci
lies, and during the dark days Of the recent
fratricilal war, when fealty to the Constltu-
ton was treason in the eyes of the domi-
nene PARTY. his eloquent defense Of the
,ight markell him, although young. as one
of the most earn st ard effective orators
then duing battle for The god cause. On
Tuesday Mr.. Specr was just thirty years OF
age. and vet we can safely say that no man
who listened to his eloquent words and con
vincing arguments ON this occasion cou ld
repress the conviction that he Is now vet
eran defender OF Democratic principles. He
made one of the finest speeches we ever
listened to, and the Democracy Of Cambria
will never cease to honor him for it.
Mr. Speer was followed by Gen. 3. II.
Kerr, of Allegheny County, who delivered
a most logical. eloquent and mastery
speech, more THAI An hour in length. giving
date aud reference to substantiate his ar
raignment Of the despcabie party now
seeking far a further lease Of political power
in this country.
Hon G. L. Pershing was next called upon,
and made a brief, but earnest and effective
speech, in his characteristic style, which
was listened to with earnest attention.
Col John 2. Lintn1, our candidate for
Congress, followed Mr.. Pershing in short
address. delivered with that earnest and
convincing eloq"ence for which he is pro-
verbal, and which stamps him as the prop
er man to represent this district in the low
er house of Congress. Mr.. Liuton's address
GUIDED the speaking for the evening, and tie
meeting adjouued with three rousing cheers
for the entire Democratic ticket.

BURGLARS ABOUT.-On Tuesday night Of
last week three men effected All entrance in
T. the Mountain House at CresrOn, after the
inmates had retired to rest, and succeeded In
carving of a censiderabeamOunt Of money
aui q small quantity of siiverware ard other
articles Of smaller value. They afterwards
visited one of the cottages connected with
1he hoter, and regaled themselves with sew
tral bottles e champagne and other delica
Cies which they found in the cellar. From
there they proceeded to the Pa. Il r station
house, into which they effected an entrance.
and pillaged the newspaper stand Of several
novels, periodicals., etc, and small amount
of money found in the drawer. 1t is es.ma-
ted chat the rascas succeeded in securing
money, sjlverware, iewelry, etc, to the val
,Ie of one thousand dollars. We have not
learned that any dae has been obtained as
20 who were the perpetrators of this robbery.
On Saturday n ght last an unsuccessful
attempt vas made to eater the Treasurer's 5
,ffce. IN the Court House at this place. The
wou,G-be burglars succeeded in tOrlnS eSh-
teen holes, in a very workma Mike manner,
IN the top and bottom of Que Of the panels

intervening space, bat at this juncture they
teeUn to have been alarmed in some way, and
made q preci pitate retreat without accom-
plishing their purpose. Had they succeeded
in getting into the Office they would have
been confronted by strong iron safe, and
had they succeeded in opening the safe they
would have found that all the funds which
Cambria county possesses were on deposit in
the strong vaults of banking house fully
a square ard a half distant. In fact. the
Yleasurer's office contained "nary mlckel,"
and had the rascal@ got into it they would
only have had their labor for their pains
Still the attempt proves that there are bur
glars about, and people with property worth
stealing would probably do we'll to keep
watch and ward over it. We don't belong
to either class. and Of course our advice Is
the more worthy to be needed.
