Frtend hcIfke-Contrary to the expecta-

m. Green has been called from his bed of
sickness to the shades of eternity Up to
Monday evening there was nothing in his
symptoms to cause alarm, but about 4 O. clock
that cay he became unconscious and so re-
{ Haalne until Thursday evening following
when calmly and peacefully as a bright
summer day he passed from time to eterui-

The death of this young Christian man there
Is much cause for deep regret. But few there
. are at his age who exhibit more marked cv-
ldencc of future usefulness few who have
studied, and labored, and thought more earn
estly than he. In his trade OF maehinest he
stood among thcmost proficient in the employ
of the Pa. r. Il. Co. in this city, and had it
been the good viii of the Creator to grant
him longer lease of life, there is every
reason to believe that he would have per
formed no common part in the world S drama.
AS it is. he has passed from among uS-wept
for because he was good and of noble soul
honored because lie was an ornament to his
family, to society and to his church, esteemed
because his life was a constant example
worthy of imitation. His remains were
companied to their last resting place in the
Catholic cemetery in Blairsville, where they
were inferred on Saturday. Peace to his i'm
mortal soul.
Our mutual friend, Mr.. Thomas Garland,
lost of his children last night-grim
death having entered his peaceful household
and borne away little frankie, aged about
years, bright, promising and beautiful
Child-one of the most cherished and be-
loved of the family circle. His death, it
may well be conceived, is a crushing bereave-
lnent to his fond parents, but it should con-
sole them in their atfiiction to know that
their dear hoy has not onl V escaped the tr-
ais temptations and uncertainties of this
life, but has been called, ere sin had detilcd
his soul, to the never ending delights of the
better world.
l stopped few hours in Johnstown not
many days ago, and when behed the roll
ing mill, recently destroyed by fire, again
in full operation under temporary sheds, /
could not suppress the thought that the Cam
hria Iron Company is indeed live inStitu-
ton.
While in Johnstown I visited the T-oice
office and found it bright and clean new
pin. All hands looked the very pcrsonifica-
tion of determination and energy, two very
important requisites to success. a daily in
Johnstown, l think, is risky enterprise, but
if it don't succeed it ought to.
l also dropped in on the Tribune man.
really think Mr.. Swank is the most energet-
ic man of my acquaintance. He possesses
two good points, at least, and perhaps others.
One is determination and the other fearless
ness.
Saw Easily of the Echo, on the street
Isn't that a band smile he wears? Some
thing so inconceivably sweet about IT. He
is not the man one would take him to be from
his writings-a pompous, dignitied sort of
fellow-but rather the contrary, gentle,
unassuming mortal. But then you know
how it is yourself.
/ am certainly thankful TO your Wilmore
,,orrcspondent for his fiattering compliment.
And if it ever so happens that opportunity
is given me, shall endeavor to illustrate 10
"Soltcro" how Pan" can appreciate cour-
tesy.
This is election day and of course Grant
will he elected. We could not hope for any
thing else after the verdict in Pennsylvania
and Ohio. ~ don care a continental who's
elected is the general expression among
Dem-Libs Just now. 1t is more than likely
the city will give majority for the Grant
electors.
There is to he a series of sociables held at
the Logan House during the winter-every
alternate Thursday evening being the ap-
pointed time.
Mr. Robert Lynch, an agec and we'll known
citizen of Altoona, died ON Sunday morning
last Yours fraternally, PAN.
