WHERE LOCATED. Three miles west of
Ebensburg is located the rite of the once thriV-

of our own mountain village. Three doors
west OF Center street, on the principal thorough
fare Of our borough, is located the extensive
new dry goods and grocery store Of A. G. Fry,
which stands without rival in the extent,
beauty and cheapness of its stock, and in the
prosperity which has thus far smiled upon it's
enterprising proprietor. You may always rely
on good bargains from Fry.

give Mr.. Holland his commission. If SOME of
our s-hoOl directors had AS much energy and
ambition ~ wooden meu they would rise as
one man and enter their indignant protest
against any such perVerson of the law as the
commissioning Of Mr.. Holland. By the way,

AKoTHkR PIc-NIo AT O'HARA's.-WheH
we say that there is to be another picnic on
the farm of Mr.. Samuel O'Hara, some four
miles distant from this place, we think We
have said enough to induce everybody who
either enjoyed or heard of the one held there
last year, to attend, but when We say that
the proceeds are to be devoted to the same
deserving purpose to which they were given
on that occasion, we certainly need not add
another word on behalf of the cause or the
occasion. Suffice 1t then to say that the pic
mic is to be held on Tuesday, June 22d, that
dancing in the grove Is to be the order of the
day and dancing in the mill the order Of the
evening, that there is to be ''slathsrs aud
gobs" of substantial food, confections, mild
drinks, cigars and other luxuries, that Mr..
O'Hara will extend a kindly greeting and
welcome to all who come. and that convey
ances will meet the trains on the Branch
road at Munster for the convenience of visit
ors from distant localities, while like con-
vsyances will run regularly from this place
to the grounds throughout the day. May
the picnic prove complete suOOess

doctrines OF notification, who could have
been counted on to carry to successful is
sue such plan. / believed then, and |
believe now, that there was time when a
liberal, just, and unselfish policy would
have made Virginia strong, loyal, and
Republican State.
Although the golden opportunity was
lost, and with it was lost much that can
never be retrieved, it may not be too late
to bring together into one organization that
shall be truly loyal to country and liberty
commanding majority of the State. Thou
sands of men who voted for Mr.. Walker
have no sympathy whatever with the De-
mocratic party. Perhaps wise, temperate,
and healing counsels may yet bring into
political association a dominant party
composed of the body of those who voted
for Mr.. Wells and large portion OF
those who voted for Mr.. Walker that will
support the administration of General
Grant, and aid in carrying forward the
great work Of education and development
which Virginia so much needs, end of which
she is so grandly susceptible.

A Boy LIFTED BY KITE.-The Vicks-
burg Times of the 10th instant relates the
following incident: ga young lad at Lake
Station. Mississippi, had very large and
beautiful kite presented to him, about six
feet by four in size, which he attempted to
raise on the 2d instant, just as the wind
was increasing and storm was threatening.
The wind drew the kite so heavily as to
drag the boy along also. To prevent losing
the favorite, he wound the cord around his
body. At last the gust bore kite and boy
along in the rapid air currents. The boy
seemed to be about one hundred feet above
the earth, and the kite FIVE times that dis
tance. At last the young kite-tiier caught
in the top of tree, and was suspended
seventy-fve feet above the ground. 4 food
of rain came on, slackening the line, abat-
ing the wind, and allowing the little sufferer
to be rescued. He was found to be uncon-
scious, and so bruised and marred as to be
scarcely recognized; but was restored the
same evening, and is now doing we'll"

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.-At about
o'clock yesterday morning Mr.C. J. Sin
ton, who resides on Grace and Twenty-sixth
streets, was awakened by noise in the
lower part Of his house. On looking out,
he saw man watching on the corner in
front of his house. He watched him for
some time, and then saw him go to the side
gate of his house. He asked him what he
was doing there, and the man, who was a
negro, replied that there was man trying
to get in at his back window. Mr.. Sinton
went down and found the back window
shutters open. The thief had cut the Stats
opened the shutters, and evidently tried tc
force open the window. He made his es-
cape before Mr.. S. could get to him.

4 novel sight was witnessed few days
ago by Mr.. Gaffany, who lives at Bodcga
Bay, Cal. While following near the coast
his attention was directed to an unusual
commotion in tie water, nearly mile from
shore, which proved to be a conflict between
five sword fishes and sperm whale. The
ocean was quite calm, and as they nearcd
the shore their movements could be plainly
seen. The whale was no match for hls
smaller antagonists, who seemed to under
stand his only means of defence, and dis
played considerable knowledge Of tactics
in parryiilg with their formidable adver-
sary. In making their thrusts into
his sides they would keep clear of his
tail, one blow of which would have been
fatal to them. With maddened fury the
huge monster of the deep would strike right
and left, causing the water to boil by the
force of the blow-and then he would dive
deep to escape the relentless fury Of his tor
mentors, but he was followed and soon
brought TO The surface. Deep gdshes could
be seen in his side, and the blood flowed
freely. The fight was witnessed for nearly
an hour, when the whale, in the agony OF
despair, started for the shore, tiinging him
self upon some low rocks, and soon died
from the effects Of his wounds. Gashes two
feet deep and six feet long were made in
his sides. Many from the neighboring city
went to see him. He was between fifty and
sixty feet long. The third day the tide
rose high enough to float him from the
rocks, and he foated out to sea.

THE VIRGINIA Observation-Disclosures OF
THE PENNSYLVANIA AND New YORK PUR-
CHAsEs.-A correspondent of the New ORR
Express, writing from Washington July 20,
furnishes the following:
The sensible view taken by the New York
Times and the Tribune, the Springfield Re
publican, and other leading journals of the
same party of the late election in Virginia,
is very gratifying to the majority of the
people of that ancient Commonwealth.
They begin at last to see a way out of the
difficulties which have beset them since the
conclusion of the war, and the road open to
future prosperity.
"The numerous transfers of real estate
in Virginia to Pennsylvanians and New
Workers at good prices will not only re-
plenish the pockets Of the Virginians, but
add, ut the same time, a large and energetic
population to the State composed of men
who are familiar with enterprises of great
pith and moment and endowed with that
firm-fxed and resting quality so essential
TO the building up of Il prosperous COM
monwealth. These men and their future
coadiutors will construct some day among
the mountains of Virginia cities like Read
ing, Willinmsport, Scranton, and Danrille.
Pennsylvania will be by them prolonged,
through Maryland, into Virginia, and
thence, in the next century, into North Caro-
lima. With the whole of the Piedmont and
Valley region of Virginia cultivated to the
height of York and Lancaster, in Pennsyl-
vania, picture of agricultural prosperity
and beauty hardly equalled on the globe
would be presented. And this will be done,
and within the next fifty years, if We shall
be true to ourselves as the great peoples oi
all ares and climes have been to themselves.

NIAGARA CRUMBLISG 1S.-A letter from
Niagara Falls states "The change in the
Falls this spring is the greatest that has
been witnessed probably by any one gene
ration. In the Horseshoe Fall, where the
green water is seen, the rock has crumbled
away to the depth of about thirty
FIVE feet, on the side nearest Goat
Island. The circular appearance OF
the Horseshoe is now changed, and
is more in the shape of triangle than
anything else. The American Fall has
also met with some alteration, which old
habitues notice this season; more partlcu-
larly is it seen on the site toward Luna
Island, and were a pointed projection OF
rock to give way, the appearance would be
changed to that of q horse shoe. 1t Is estl-
mated by competent geologists TINT some
$50 tons Of roc3 must have given way from
the horse shoe alone. The beauty Of the
falls is not in the least marred, but rather
enhanced; and old habitues seem to like the
falls this year much better than ever"

CHARGED WITH ROBBERY Napoleon
Parrish and Boiling Davis, two negroes,
were arraigned on yesterday before the
Mayor for stealing package of dry goods,
u pair Of shoes, and halter chain from the
canal-boat Cumberland. 1t appeared that
the accused parties took passage on the boat
and went up as far as Dover Mills. On
their way up they were allowed the free
dom of the boat, and the captain saw Davis
then take the shoes and wrap them up, and
when they left the boat he missed the other
articles. Parrish was discharged and Da-
vis's case was continued until Friday.
