We are glad to note that our young friend

Dermitt, steward of the poor house, has been
promoted from the position of fireman on our

while he is in the performance of his duty.
Our clever friend Andy Foster Of The pop

Johnstown. has but recently got home from
goods purchasing visit to the Eastern cities
and like righteous man, as he is although
not dead, his good works have fol owed him,
and are now piled up in huge array on the
shelves and counters of that mammoth dry
goods, millinery and carpet emporium. Of
course no one who understands his or her own
interests will fail to go, see and buy from this
worthy firm, especially during fair week.

w e are glad we didn't this hoist the
name of Gen. Hancock for President, for if We
had done would have come in for the
following bitter ''sarkasm" leveled at boss
Trough by our contemporary down street -
The HollidaysbuTg Standard hoists the name
of Hancock for President. This will, there
fore, settle the much vexed question among
democrats as to whom their candidate will be. >
If the Standard survives the shock ore more
week, however, we will run up Hancock 8 ma me

Absence of mind often leads a man into
very ugly scrapes. 1t only recently led Craw
ford II. Brown into Jail at Holiday sburg, and
the likelihood is that he will not be led out of
it very soon. And vet Crawford only forgot
that he had wife and child in Altoona, and
while laboring under that hallucination went
and married Miss Anna Benni1, of Caketown,
n Northumberland county, and he has to
answer a charge of bigamy preferred against
him by wife No. l. The reeusant husband, it
is fair to presume. is not at present Anna
mated with the same buoyant feelings he was a
short time ago.
Another horse fair on the tapis--this time
at St. Augustine, on Friday and Saturday of
next week, when all wishing to either buy or
sell horses will be afforded ample opportunities
for doing so. There will also be not less than
three horse races, for which purses of $50, $50
and 800, respectively, are offered. and the con-
ditions, which will be made known at time of
fair, will be such as to suit all contestants. -
Several foot races for purses and other amuse-
ments will also add their charms to make the
occasion interesting and enjoyable, and every
body may consider himself invited, whether he
wants to sell horses, buy horses, or only see
the fun.
