The snow which came down as thick as

And covered the earth, just the other day.
Is rapidly melting under the suns warm ray.

Not SO with the goods at Snoemakers' store,
For ere their stock is sold they send for more,
And always have as much as they had be

And sell very low in all kinds of weather.

A MIsTAKE.-It is a mistake to suppose
that Thanksgiving day is appointed for the
sole purpose of masticating turkey and
other palatable delicacies. 1t is also a mis-
take to suppose that any merchant in or out
of Cambria county has fuller, finer or
cheaper assortment of goods than is kept for
sale by j. Patton Thompson. whose store is
the great centre Of attraction in this locality.

BEST OYsTERs.-It is the opinion of every
body who has INDUCED in the oysters served
up at the new saloon of Mr.. A. II. Faller,
that they are the largest and most delicious
bivalves ever brought to this place and add
to this the fact that he has reduced the price
per plate. and it would be strange if he did
not do..a thriving business. Among the other
delicacies to be found at this establishment.
are pigs feet, tripe and beef tongue, for all
of which Mr.. Faller viii pay the highest
prices to those offering them.

SERIOUS Loss.-Mr. a. II. Faller Ind the
misfortune to lose horse valued at $175 on
Saturday night last. Having no immediate
use for the horse he had consigned it to the
keeping of Mr.. Ed. Humphreys, to work for
it's fee d, and on the night in question the an
imal got loose in the latter gentleman's sta
BILE, and while tramping about upset the feed
cutter, the knife of which came in contact
with one of the horses feet, just above the
hoof and inflicted such torrible cash that
it was found necessary TO take the animal
out and shoot him on Sunday merning.

ALMOST A FIRE.-As we passed along Cliu

purchased literally of his Ready Made Cloth

The MAYoRALITY.-S Johnstown has
assumed the proportions of city it is entitled
to a Mayor. The present Burgess will not have
the office he positively declines, and we know
of no other suitable mai unless it is Mr.. Leo

the New York Dry Goods and Millinery Store,
who certainly has the best and cheapest goods
in that thriving place. His store is a perfect
Paradise of beauty and wonderment.

Coon TrMEs-Talk about hard times Why
we saw Murphy & Co. have handsful of gold
coin the other day, which they had just receiv-
ed from numerous customers at their famous
Dry Goods Store, the Houston House,
Johnstown. They offered to sell the gold,
but we preferred their nice goods, which were
going like hot cakes. So, we pitched in and
bought all we could, but were considerably in

The Groaud Hog is an animal whose
movements the weather depends much
upon. As far as we know anything
absut him he is at least monarch for
the next six weeks. and whether we
have rainy or dry, cold or warm weather,
he alone is responsible for it, and all
maledictions hereafter directed to-
wards the clerk of the weather should
fall upon the head of the ground hog.
Ye grunblers and GROWERS. during the
interim, note this fact. Well, he made
his appearance yesterday, and according
to the oldest almanacs, as we'll as the
"oldest inhabitants" VIC will have bad
weather for the next six weeks, for as
the saying is, when he sees his shadow
he returns to his hole again and remains
there the above mentioned time, at the
expiration of which he reapDears again,
and gives us some more weather.

was Charged with being drunk and con-

is the individual alluded to in the Rec

Peter is seventy-one years of age. and
in his declining years il is pity that

Accident.

We have frequently alluded to the
slippery condition of the payements,
and in one or two instances mentioned
precautionary measures that should be
taken to prevent persons from slipping,
but none have been adhered to. On last
night as Miss Mollie Bishop, daughter OF
John Bishop, Esq, was returning from
the Fourth street NJ. E. Church, she un-
fortunately slipped, fell and acciden-
tally broke her arm. The professional
services of DR.. Bates was called upon,
and soon eased the condition of the pa

Horrible Nu, der-Thrown from the
Suspension Bridge. ..-... .-...
At late bOur on Saturday night
three ignres were seen about midway
on the Suspension Bridge. Two of
them were leaning over the railing as
though studying tho distance FROM the
bridge to the water. In few moments
the taller one of the two changed his
position and moved a little farther
apart from his companion. During the
whole time not word seemed to pass
their lips. The third party lay uncon.
sciously Down, we suppose to rest. The
tall one then came back and said some.
thing to the other, when they both
stepped down and took hold of their
compassion who was now apparently
asleep. We saw them raise him up and
hold him over the bridge. We rushed
to the rescue, but just reached the
spot in time to hear the splash of the
water beneath the bridge. Aals !! We
were tso late. The object we sought to
save had met its death in the watery
elements. We breathlessly asked the
tallest what was the matter and he
coolly replied that he had just thrown
Neptune in the river. Neptune was his
pet dog, we were told.

New Rule in Ariih metic.

On Saturday afternoon as we were
passing along Main street, our attention
was attracted to conversation going
ON between two little boys, one appar-
emily about twelve and the other eight
years old. They were arguing ques-
ton in arithmetic in the following man.
ncr:
"Forr noughts make thousand" says
the eldest.
"No it don't; three noughts are q
thousand says the youngest.
The oldest one attempted to prove it
by saying that "two noughts make a
hundred, and four noughts make thou
sand"
The youngest then replied: THAT was
HI of way"
We passed on, thinking they would
make good assessors for the government.
