miraculous Escape. "A miraculou

A Miraculous Escape. = A miraculous
escape from a horrible death was made
yesterday noon by a son of Mr.. A. L.
Langdon, residing on Second street below
Cranberry alley. The boy is only about
four years of age, and was playing on the
roof, when he lost his balance, falling dis
tance of three stories. BY n miracle he
landed upright in an ash barrel, which
alone saved his life. He escaped unhurt,
though enveloped in cloud of dust, and
when rescued from his unpleasant predica =
ment, laughed heartily and regarded it with
the levity of youth. The roof was sur
rounded with balustradc used for the
purpose of drying clothes, on which he had
been playing when the accident so nearly
fatal occurred. d.-State JOurBaIo of Goth inst.

Some person in this borough amuses
himself by writing letters to the Altoona
Tribune. In recent communication he
refers to the Times as paper published at
halfprice. We always knew the Times was
the cheapest paper in the State, but are
glad to hear from such good authority that
it is really worth twice the subscription
price. Many other people must have the
same opinion judging by the rapid increase
of our list of subscribers.
The venerable old gentleman (he says he
went to school little while in 1882 also
thinks THE TnIEs amuses the boys and
girls. This Is quite a compliment when
so many papers are published which fail to
interest or amuse anybody. AS he seems
to take an interest in our paper we suppose
he considers that he has become childish,
and no doubt others have the same opinion.
But as long as he reads Tile Times without
paying anything for it, we can't see why he
should be troubled about our terms, even
though we only charged FORTY PER CENT.
of the real value Of our paper.

An Important Case.-We learn that a
bill in equity is to be filed against the
committee appointed to distribute the twen
ty thousand dollars appropriated by the
Legislature for aid to the needy and desti-
tute suffering from the great fire in Miffiin-
town last winter. 1t is claimed, and very
justly too, that the money was not all ap-
piled according TO the intention of the Leg
islature, as very large portion went to
those not needy, or in any manner requiring
such aid. In fact the committee and one
man land he one Of the wealthiest in that
county, took one-tenth of the whole appro-
priation. 1t must require great amount
OF moral courage for a member of this
committee, or one Of the wealthy recipients
Of this bounty to put himself before the
public,as candidate for Office, with this re-
cord so fresh in the memory of the voters.
