Dear Freemdn-James Flanagan, son of John
Flanagan, ESQ, one of the nominees for Asso-
ciate Judge, who has been in the far west for
several years, has Just returned to his home in
this place and purposes remaining until Octo-
| ber. He seems to bear the wear of travel and
sXcltement bravely, for he looks quite WE'LL
| We wish him pleasant visft to his old home
1t is little more than one month since Mr..
Black was killed on the Connelsvile railroad
and his mutilated remains brought home and
inferred here. On last Friday another victim
was brought to this place and buried. The
! name of the deceased was Louis Snowden, u
promising young man, aged about nineteen
years. He was killed near Pittsburgh, on the
! Connelsville railroad, just the train leav-
! ing the city. He had sprained bis ankle few
| days before, and this may have been the cause
! of his falling from the cars. He leaves broth
| er and sister to mourn his untimely and tragic
death:
! The school directors OF woodvale have placed
| new fashionable cherry desks in their school
! house, bought outline maps and new school
cards, and renovated the blackboard. They al
SO repaired the house, having it plaStered in the
new, till it looks as white as a sheet of paper.
| Wild cat water has also been introduced, and
this school district is only two months old, this

! the people and the teacher, the school must
| prosper.
| Mr.. Henry Levy, formerly merchant OF this
place, but who has been absent for. sixteen
| years, returned to Johnstown the other day,
| looking well and hearty. He has been all
| through the west-has seen all the elephants
| and now returns to remain. He purposes to
mercRa at While doing business here in is5s to
| 1885 We wish him good luck, first, because he
! deserves II, second because he presented to
us nice Indian smoke pipe and a bead case to
keep ii in. 1t is a chiefs pipe, and made out of
parts & eyS en-
had hatchet to bury, but we both smoked the
| pipe of peace together.
The nelOn-chOlic days have come,
The seediest of the year,
With empty shells, and scarlet pulp,
| And rind both green and sere.
Why is the editor of tho Johnstown Tribune
| a poor logician? Because he argues in a circle.

auction house in town. The first goods were
| disposed of at the rooms opposite the post-offee
| on last Saturday, and they the goods went
! like hot cakes at Cresson. Both these gentle
| men are good business men and doubt not
that they will be useful in this as in their other
| pursuits in this community. We wish them
lots lots or g9od luck and many customers, both in
/ ness, for, be it remembered, they have not re-
| linquished the business of making tinware and
| selling everything that timers and stove deal

But he'II come over Vet. iii bet he ii vote the

| The Major is a clever man and will undou bted-
! ly get over his pout before the ides of October.
| He and "Both Sides" are queer fellows.
They wriggle in and wriggle out,
! Whether the snake that made the track
Was going south or coming back.
Great improvements are being made in Con-
emaugh borough, especially on Railroad and
Portage streets. Workmen are engaged in paw

ty on Portage street, and indeed all the proper
| ty near it, has been painted and otherwise
| improved, Good wide brick pavements have
| been laid and trees planted. Portage street
will soon be one of the finest streetsin the great
| city of Johhstown. The people of Woodvale
are also planting shade trees along the side of
the main street of that borough. Everybody
plants trees but the Town Council of Johns
| town borough. 1t plants neer q tree.

| ADVERTISING AGENCIEs.-It is n fact that ali
| those persons doing business which requires

Proclamation of the results produced by each
in the opinion that better contracts can be Sc
cured through vel estaRlsheY 3 } adyertissng We sing
York, than can be obtained from publishers
papers the advertiser may be, 1T stands to rea-
son that an agency controlling patronage to
tho extent of from fifty to one hundred thou
sand dollars per month should be able to secure
favors which would not be accorded to any
mere individual, even il we omit entirely the
benefits which they must derive from their ex-
tensive MISUNDERSTANDING.
Our heroine sat on u mossy stone, beneath
ancient elm, gazing upon the slippery rip
pies of the crystal stream which sped past her
slippered feet She was dreaming a day-dream
and softly humming that favorite song, Still
so gently Ger me stealing when voice sweet
as the ripping waters fell upon her ears, and
this is what it said: why sit ye here idle when
G. II. Roberts has such n beautiful stock of
jewelry and fancy goods awaiting your inspec-
ton and purchase, and has such commenda-
BILE desire TO please every body and suit the
pocket-books of all who desire to buy, clocks,
watches, jew elry, any other article COM
prised in his beautiful and immense assort-
ment?" y
