-Ebensburg's silver cornet band was
ont for the third time on Wednesday night
and very agreeably surprised all who heard
them by the great progress they have made

Our assertion about the Carrolltown

at the station here on " cdneSday night,
has brought out a communication i'll this
weeks Dem0crdt from several citizens of

precedence in that particular. Sorry to
have put them to SO much trouble, but
''all is well that ends we'll
Our friend and patron, Mr.. Thomas
Dougherty. of Keytesville, Charlton county,
Mo-, has forwarded complimentary
ticket to the Charlton County Fair, signed
Thos. Dougherty, Secretary. OF course we
can't go, but FOR his kindly remembrance

on the subject of Mr.. Buckalew'S course in

publish it this week, simply because We
are Of the opinion that the writer is in error,
as we believe we can show if we can pro-
cure a complete report of Mr.. Buckalew' 4
late speech at POttsville, a portion of which
refers To the same subject about which our
correspondent writes.
The JohnstOwn Democrat of last week
contains 4 very elaborate, but none the
less deserved commcndation of the artistic
skill of Mr.. James Wilkinson, marble man
ufaCturer of LOretto, who has no superior
and few equals in his line of business
Many of the cemeteries of this county con-

/ that Cambria City is justly entitled to the

! Curry and representing himself as sailor
by occupation and a native of New York,
was struck by the Southern Express west

| Friday morning last, and was fatally injured.
He was taken to Johnstown and his wounds
attended to, but he died soon after He
