The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1872-12-06

The epizootic is on the increase in
Johnstown. All the mules i'll the slope
mine of the {. /. Co. are affected, and the
empIoycs of this mine are thrown out of
emf Iloyment in consequence Nearly all
/ tie horses of the same company are retired
for similar reasons ard their work supplied
by man power. If a ''let up" does not
soon come it is feared that the mill viii be
forced to stop.
Our heart goes out in earnest synpa-
thy to brother James, of The {{crGIG, who
for week past has been wrestling with
that most eXCruCiating of all diseases the
/ qujnsy. Having interviewed that same
/ little unPieasantness" many a time and
I oft III our life's pilgrimage. we can readily
/ imagine his sut1erings and sincerely condole
with him in his aifiiction. May he soon
/ experience welcome relief.
-Honors fall fast and thick upon Col.
John a. Lemon, of Hollidayshurg. Be-
sides having been elected State Senator
from that district, he has just been ar
pointed aid to Gov. Geary, with the rank
Of Colonel Wei, all we have 70 saw about
the latter Is, that the Governor never in
dulgcd liz better Lemon aid stree lie ioined
the temperance society. Even a fly" in
1t would scarcely improve it.
The squib in this weeks HUNTINGDON
J0urnd!l IN lcfercr &C to the execution Of tie
unfortunate man Moore reflects no credit
on that paper. Moore was a great sinner,
but he died truly pentent, and as the mer-
cy Of God is bouudless, even the most de
PIaved, like The thief on the cross, may be
/ found worthy of divine favor. Anyhow, to
the Creator and not the creature Fegtaincth
judgment, and with Him the JOuI nal should
have left it.
If there is any Paper other than our
own that we like to see credited with arti-
cles originally published i'll the Freeman,
that paper is the Johnstown EcBO. There
fore it is that we don't care a dime if the
Holldaysburg Standard did copy our ac-
count of the Moore execution almost YER
batim from the Echo ard give that paper
credit for the same. 1t shows good taste
ON part of the Ec' n and desire on part Of
tie Htdndard to do credit business with
a first class paTer.
On Monday, All application for the ad-
mission of Ellis G. Kerr, Esq, to the bar
of Cambria county, was made to Court by
Geo. Nj. Peade, Esq. The proper commit

repalt that the applicant had passed a most
cIeditable examination. lie was thereup-
on sworn as a member of the bar. Mr.
Kerr, we believe, designs opening an Office
in this place. and we certainly have no rea-
son to wish him anything but success in
his profession.
