prletors consider this matter in another light,
as calculated to injuro the prosperity and
prospects of the Highland Agricultural AS
SoclatIon. But we view the movement as
the first step towards the establishment of a
hospital in this place, and as an act worthy
OF all praise. Mr.. B. sent nurse along
with the boy, and wagon load of furniture
including stove, bed, fuel, and other ne
cessarles lie acted promptly, as all land>
lords must, and he ought to have the thanks
OF the entire community. In a mixed pop
ulation like ours hospital may be needed
before Spring. When the disease abates this
small building could be burned, and thus
no injury would result to the fair grounds
We hope all the patients afflicted with that
disease-and there are only four yet-may
be sent to the same place. We admire the
original thought and prompt action of Mr.
Benford, and trust that there will be no op~
position TO the measure.
OTHER MATTERS.
At railroad to Somerset meeting held on
Saturday it was resolved to complete the
subscriptions by TO morrow THURSDAY and
go to work surveying and letting the road.
This looks like business.
Oscar Giraffe has built large ten pin all
ley, which adjoins his hotel in Sharpsburg.
The building is about one hundred feet lone,
and VIII be splendid place for the b'hoys
during the cold and dreary winter.
l sincerely hope you over the quinsy.
If you don't soon get rid of that troublesome
disease you should get veac-e>nated.
We had some reaches in our house, and
we posted over to c. r. Frazer and got
bottle Of Logan'5 Insect Powder, which sent
them scattering in all directions. If any of
your readers are similarly troubled, let them
go or send to c. Il. Frazer, druggist, Johns
town, and get % cent bottle, and if it does
not cure the reaches, and kill them too. then
my name is not ROB Roy.
CELEBRATION OF FIRST MAss-Last Sun
day was pleasant, and to great many in
this city, very interesting day John W.
Staub who had been absent for several years
attending educational and theological insti>
tutions, and having received holy orders,
had just returned, aud would celebrate Mass
for the first time in st. Joseph's Church of
this city. To his acquaintance, ard to
thos9 with whom his young life had been
spent, this was an interesting occasion, and
they desired to show their joy at his success
and promotion, and their confidence III his
ability and uprightness of life. A beautiful
procession was formed, composed of the pu~
pills attending the parochial school connected
with St. Joseph's Church St. Peters Be-
nevolent Society, headed by Braddock's Brass
Band, and st. Joseph's and St. Georges
Benevolent Societies, accompanied by the
Silver Cornet Band. These societies were in
full regala, accompanied with gorgeous ban
ners. They made very beautiful display.
This procession in very appropriate man-
ner escorted the young Reverend with a
umber of Rev. Fathers from the parsonage
to the church, and after Mass had been ceeo
brated escorted them back to the parsonage
in the same beautiful manner Everything
passed off in highly crcditable and delight
ful way.
The beautiful ceremonies of the day speak
well for all those engaged in them, as well
as for the encouragement it could give to
the talented young priest, who has thus SOL
emily devoted his life to the cause of religion
We understand that Rev. Staub will be
connected with the Pastoral charge of ST.
Augustine's Church at Pittsburgh. Johns

KILLED BY LoG.-On Friday morning
of last week Mr.. John Kennedy, of WashS
ington township, this county, came to a vi
oient death under the following painful cir
cumstanCes: With the aid of his son, q lad
of fourteen years, he was endeavuring to
build log fence, and while assisting q woke
Of oxen to roll heavy log against hill,
the weight overpowered him, and crowbar
which he was using at the time struck him
on the leg, prostrating him to the ground
and infiCting a very severe wound, which
doubtless prevented HE escape from the log,
which rolled over his body and rested on his
neck, producing death almost Immediately.
His little boy ran to the house of neighbor
to give the alarm. and parties at once re-
paired to the scene of the accident, only,
however, to find the Iifeless remains Of the
unfortunate man in the position we have
stated. Mr.. Kennedy was a widower, about
60 years of age, and the father of two small
children, boy and girl, with whom alone
he kept house. He was quiet, inOffenSive
and strictly honest man, and his sudden
and melancholy death is a source of deep
regret to all who knew him. His remains
were inferred in the Catholic graveyard at
Wilmore on Sunday.
THE lifeess body of German tramp
with the head terribly beaten and lacerai cd 4,
was found on the pike between Bedford and
Bloody Run. on Thursday morning of last
week. and there is no doubt that he was
murdered and then robbed, as his pockets
were cut out and the contents Of the bundle
he carried scattered in all directions. The
deed was committed with piece of fence
rail. Papers found on the body indicated
the name Of the murdered man to be w. A.
Wes. Several parties have been arrested
on suspicion, but only one, negro, is now
in custody awaiting examination. This is
the second murder that has occurred in Bed
ford county within few days.

church for the purpose of holding therein

innocent and enjoyable, aud also with view
to leasing it to travelling exhibitions Of an ua-
Objectionable character. The dimensions of
the hall are rs by % feet, and it will be fit
ted up in good style and will be ready for
the purposes it is intended some time this
