BRIEF MENTION.
FIeiuhoff Brothers, OF Conemaugh borough,
are already building an addition to their large
planlng mill, which has been only three months
in operation This looks like prosperity. and
We are glad to see that it has struck in the
right spot.

quest this time.
Paving is still progressing on Portage street.
Conemaugh borough, and brick is in great de
rnand.
A number of good buildings are going up in

An EBENsBuRG GIRL IN TRsUBLE.-We learn
from the Pittsburgh papers that young girl
named Winnie mot Minhie) Moore, who was
reared in tins place and is well known to most
OF our citizens, was arrested on Thursday even
ing of last week and committed to Jail OIL the
charge of grand larceny, she having stolen al
most the entire wardrobe and many other val
uables belonging to Mrs Elliott, in whose
house she was employed as a domestic. After
her rest she made full confession of her
guilt. duplicating Hrs De Wall and girl
named Josie Pollock wish having received the
stolen goods. The two latter were taken in
custody, the woman giving bail for her appear,
ance but at the hearing on Tuesday last they
were both honorably discharged nothing hav
ing been proven against them, and Winnie was
remanded to prison to await her trial at tie
December term of Court. She will probably
be sent to the House OF Refuge. We need
scarcely say she was only the adopted daughter
of the very respectable gentleman whose name
she bore, and who until some two OF three
years ago was one of our most prominent Cit
zens. Ee and his estimabie wife. who are
childless, bore with her until she bees me en-
tirely iDcorrig gibe, when they turEed her udrilt,
and her arrest and probable imprisonment for
a term OF years is the sad ending for the pres
ent to her downward career in tie path of in
quity. As abe is only about sixteen years of
age, it is 10 be hoped that she has not yet gone
too far to be redeemed from her evil WAYS.
