To the Editors of The AHeghdnian
Locals have been scarce for some time,
and SO [ have to write anything and every
thing [ can get hold of to make letter.
In the first place, I will notice the decora-
ton of the soldiers graves, on Saturday,
10Th ult. The display was very imposing.
The procession formed on franklin street,
the left resting on Washington street
Marched to Lutheran burying ground !;
then to Union buryihg ground from there
to Catholic burying ground thence to
Sandy Vale cemetery, where very impos-
ing ceremonies took place in honor of our
departed heroes, who, [ hope, may never
be forgotten by those left behind.
! The Mission School of Iillville Borough,
assisted by severa. members of the Forest
Dramatic Association, will give two exhi-
bitions on Saturday and Monday evenings,
June 18th and 18th, at Union Hall The
object is to procure clothing for the chill
dren connected to the Mission. Mr.. A
j. Hawes is Superintendent of the School.
The Wallace Sisters Burlesque Troupe
gave three entertainments at Union Hall,
on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, May
23d, oath, and 26th. They had very
good hou>es.
Bryan's Caravan and Circus will give
an exhibition on Public Square, ON Thurs
day, June 10Th
Things are lively in relation to the much
talked of district court I see by last
weeks Johnstown Democrat that Judge
Easley defends himself in very able
manner from the attacks Of certain NAL
contents.
The Kickenepawling Tribe of Red
Men held picnic at Woodvale grove on
Monday, May 31st, which netted them
handsome sum. The festivities of the
day were somewhat spoiled by a terrific
storm which passed through this section
in the afternoon. Considerable damage
was done. Trees were torn out by the
roots, several cows were Killed, and the
Johnstown Manufacturing Co. lost about
$4,000 brick by the storm
On Saturday evening last, about nine
o'clock, the grocery store situated on
Franklin street, adjoining Parke's Marble
yard, and occupied by NIr. David G.. Nc
Cullough, took fire. The fire originated
from lamp being in too close proximity
to barrel of oil. The Assistance Fire
Company being promptly on the ground,
the flames were soon subdued with very
little damage to stock or building. Do.

10 the Editors cf-2he -4Heghanian:
On Sunday last-the better the day the
better the decd-a very exciting chase
was had in this neighborhood by two well
known sPortsmen, Messrs. G. and NJ. The
chase was after a wild animal. The wild
animal was groundhog The dog that
did the chasing was named Bingo Per
haps you have heard of him:
'.B-i-n-g-o-B-i n-g-o-B-i n-g-o-

After long and tiresome run, the

skinned and eaten. The sportsmen were

There is no coal miners strike here.

nay hear from me again. Dopo.
A DAILY CoMPANIoN.-W WeJste,'s Una
ridged Dictfoaary has been, in common
With other great lexicons of the English :
anguage, one of nay daily companions. t
Wy testimonial to its erudition, the accu- ! !
acy of its definitions, and to the vast ety. 4
nological research by which it has been
nriched through the labors recently be-
towed upon it, can hardly be of much t
alue, sustained as the book is in world 2
ide reputation, by so general an appro- t.
alton; but | have no hesitation in thus c
Spressing my sense of its merits.
