jurisdiction of the court was urged in behalf of
the prisoner and his acquittal asked for on the

District Court of Cambria county The an
piication was oyerrued but under the instruc
tion of the Court the jury returned snerial
verdict OF guilty and that the offence WAS com

NEw RAILROAD PkoJkCT.-The citizens Of
CarrOlltown, Ca mhria county, and parts there
unto nc llcent, are alive to their interests
They have now before the Legislature char
ter authorizing the construction of a railroad
4 n.
ten miles. There being objection to 2 road
between thoso points, the charter will, Of
course, be granted. The road viii connect
at Ebeusburg with the Ebens5urg and Cresson
Branch. The making of TINS road will open
up a highway to the great body of timber and
coal laud lying ia the northeastern portion of
Cambria, and many fortunes will be realized
thereby. Should this .Oad he made, it will
not stop at CarrolltoSn The timber and coal
land still farther on will demand the same IA
cilities for outlet to market, and unless headed
off by other roads. will cross the State to
connection with the Phi'alclp phia and Erie
Railroad. Altoona Tribune.

OF our talented young frieud, Geo. A Berry

ingly thankful to Mr. B. for the enj ,yable
feast afforded them.
A NEW AND DESIRABLE ARRAN GEMENT.-A

has been Vouchsafed us, and although it is as
vet only experiment, we trust that 1t will

a day to come. The train leaves this place,
as heretofore, at 40 in the morning, and after
making the usual stops on the Branch, reach
