lacked for interest since it has been opened,
but the liveliest time of all WAS on Friday
night last, on 'ch occasion the silver headed
cane was awarded to Mr.. Isaac Crawford of
this place. he having LED each of his competi-
tors, Mcssrs. Lawrence Schroth, OF Carroll
town. and Felix Beck. of Loretto, by fully
thirteen hundred votes. The amount realized
from this source alone reached nearly $500,
while the receipts at the tables consider
ably in excess of those of any other evening
The best of feeling, good music by the Car
rUlltcwu band, and lots of fun abOunded, and
ne occasion was one of the most enjoyable
yet experienced at the Fair.
The next sensation at the Fair promises to
be a set of butcher tools which are to be voted
70 the most popular knight OF the cleaver"
that can be scared up in Loretto, Csrolltown,
or this place, and Friday night next, We be
Ieve, is to witness tue Inauguration Of the
contest.
Two entertainments OF theatrical character
promised for Friday and Saturday el en-
iHgs of this week, but it was impossible for the
troupe, consisting of young gentlemen of Al
toona, to get ready in time and hence the ex
h.btions have been postponed for another
week, at least The Fair will he opened
usual on Friday and Saturday nights next.
ALL M!srAKE.-A few evenings ago one
Of Altoona's most estimable matrons embraced
radicalism-or at least representative of that
political dogma-in u very forcible but quite
unintentional manner. Her lege lord was
absent from home on business, and was ex
pected to return by the evening train. so his
good wife, as in duty bound, arrayed herself III
fine apparel and waited for the dear ones arrl-
val, determined that she would answer the bell
herself and give the returning husband VIE
" greeting at the moment of his arrival. AT
length the train arrived and in a few moments
ra pid steps were heard approaching the man
sion. They stopped and the bell was vigor-
ousiy pulled The waiting dame rushed TO the
door and into the arms OF the man who stood
without he recoled and so did she and then
from her delicate throat issued piercing
scream, for unwttingly she had embraced n
coal black American citizen of American de
scent,-holldaysbur Standard.
IL BRrEr We have only room this week to
refer briefly to the claims of our local mer
matter of dry goods. groceries, notions, etc,
we are confident that no buyer can do better
than with either Messrs. Y. 5. Barker, Shoe
maker & Co., or n. i. Oatman & Co, of this
place, or with A j. ChristY, OF Loretto while
in the way of iewclrv, watches and fancy
goods, they will find gentleman to deal with
them honorably and fairly in the person of Mr..
c. T.. Roberts; or If hardware, tinware, or al
most any other kind of ware is wanted, Mr..
Geo. Huntley stands ready TO welcome and
deal generously with all who visit his mann
moth store and last, but not least, comes Mr.
1 E. J. Mills, whose establishment is amply
stock ed with four feed, lamIs and brooms by
wholesale, and who can and does sell at as
low rates as any dealer in like commodities il
Cambria county.
