The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1872-03-30

A YOUNG MAN in Sunbury was fishing
in the canal one day last fall, when the
cook of a passing canal-boat tumbled
overheard. He plunged in and rescued
her, and she thanked him, asked his
name, climbed upon the deck of her ves>
sci, and sailed away. Last month the
youth was surprised by a visit from the
maiden and her father. The old man
rushed up, seized his hand, and said /:
"You saved the girl, she's yourn. Take
her, my son-take her and be happy,
with fathers blessing. No man shall
say that Pm ungrateful. The maiden
moved forward as if to seek an embrace,
but the gallent youth dashed through the
window aud fed, pursued by the parent
and his child. He has since written
home from the far West to say that, if he
ever perceives another canal-boat cook in
the canal, he will tie cargo of anvils to
her neck to hold her down. .-Mar AdLer.

In crossing the plains in 1852 Tommy
bod was gobbled up by the Goshoot In
dians, and for some months remained a
captive among them He says among
other plunder obtained by the Indians
when they took his train was hand organ
which an adventurous Italian was bring
ing out to California. The organ was q
big thing among the Indians after they
had reached their village. The chief had
a man to sit in front Of his hut and grind
it every night. 1t was set to play yankee
Doodle" and ''Ya Yankes Doodle it played
every night, week in and week out, without
variation" One night, in fooling with
the ''machine," the Indian grinder shifted
the stop, and when he resumed the crank
out came "Pop Goes the Weasel" The
old chief listened a moment, and supposlng
the machiss was spoiled, seized his toma-
hawk, leaped from the door of his hut, and
with a. fierce yell, brained the discoverer
Of the aew tune upon the spot.

How TIE DEACON GOT EVEN The
deacon was not very much behind, if the
following story be true:
In a small town on the Schuylkill river
there is church in which the singing
had run down. 1t had been led many
years by one of the deacons, whose voice
and musical powers had been gradually
failing. Ore evening the clergyman gave
cut the hymn which was an odd measure,
and rather harder than usual, and the
deacon led off. Upon its conclusion the
minister rose and said:
Brother b will please repeat the
hymn, as cannot pray after such sing
ing
The deacon very composedly pitched
into another tune, and the clergyman
proceeded with prayer. Having finished,
he took up the book to give the second
hymn, when he interrupted by the
deacon gravely getting up and saying in a
voice audible TO the whole congregation /:
'Will MIR. - make another prayer?
1t would be impossible for ne to sing after
such prayer as that

JIM GUrrIrs was a very clever, nice,
good dispositioned, thick headed sort of a
fellow, and was the butt of all the girls in
his neighborhood. The most brilliant
thing he ever said was when some of the
fair teasers questioned him one day in re
gard to his powers of memory.
'How far back in your life>time can
you remember, Jim?'
'Oh, l can remember the day I was
born, was his reply.
The day you were born / exclaimed
one of the young ladies Of the party
why Jim, what can you remember OF
that day?'
oh, l remember very distinctly, that
on the day / was bern, sat on little
stool in the corner of the Fireplace and

said that he had positive assurance that
pure iron ore had been found in some ef
the gulches, and he bid one dollar an acre
AT this point | entered the contest, and
bid one dollar and twenty-five cents. Up
-up-up-twenty-fv cents at time,
until at length l had bid ten dollars an
acre. People called me crazy. Ten DOL
lars an acre was more than the very best
land IN the whole country was worth.
But L held my bid, and kept my own
counsel
And the Twist lot was knocked down
to me for just one thousand dollars. The
terms were cash. l told them to make
out the deed while went home after the
money. And away rode. l emptied
my old stocking of gold and silver, and
found nine hundred and fifty dollars.
borrowed the other fifty without trouble at
the settlement, and straightway proceeded
TO the Office of Squire Simpkins, where the
deed had been made. The instrument
was duly signed and sealed, and when the
Squire had assured me that the payment
of the money would make all fast and
safe, handed over the gold and silver.
lubserved that the name of John Twist
had been recently signed, and 1 asked
Simpkins if Mr. Twist was present.
''He was here few minutes ago, " said
Simpkins, s'and will be back again after
his money. He's feeling pretty good,
should Judge, since he has got rid of his
hundred-acre lot for twice as much as it
cost him, and for thousand times more
than any sane man would think it was
worth"
Half an hour afterward / called at the
squire's again. N1r. Twist had just gone
out with his money.
There he is now,'' said Simpkins,
'.just bound off -
| looked at the window, and saw, at
the door of the inn. on the opposite side of
the way, a tall man, in botlle-green coat,
with bright glaring buttons, just mount
ing horse. / recognized the horse; and
/ recognz zed the man.
who is that man p ! asked she with
the green coat and bright buttons -
''That," said Simpkins, sis DIR. John
Twist"
In moment more the man in the bet
tle-9reen coat had ridden away, with his
heavy saddle-bags behind him and but>
toned up within that coat l beheld my
revere nd guest! 1t flashed upon me that
the Rev. Paul Meekmore and Mr.. John
Twist were one and the same person
A few days afterward took my Jumps
of white metal to a man who was versed
in such matters, and asked him what they
were. He took the largest lump and test
ed it, and said
"Pewter !"
/ asked him if pewter was ever dug GU.
OF the earth in that shape.
"Well, said be, 'seeing that pewter
is an alloy of tin and lead, it couldn't be
very we'll dug up, unless somebody had
gone and buried it beforehand -
Touching further explanations on my
'Twist lot'' will not speak. | will only
add that l have at home an old stocking
with half dozen Jumps of pewter in it
and l never look upon it but am forced
to acknowledge that dreams are some,
times very strange and wonderful things
