-Aspirants for political preferment are
gradually looming up, the latest we have
heard of being Mr.. Charles Flick, of Ale.
gheny township, who is willing to assume
the duties of Poor House Director for the
next three years, if the Democratic county
convention sees fit to nominate him and
the people don't go back on him after he is
nominated. Mr.. Flick is an honest, hard
working farmer, fully competent to per-
form the duties pertaining to the office
named, and if elected will prove worthy of
/ the confidence repOsed in him.
The praisewOrthy custom of decorating
with flowers the graves of deceased soldiers
I was complied with III this place, on Friday
last, in Il manner that did honor to all who
participated. In addition the organizations
named ill our last, the Congregational Band
! of Hope took part in the ceremonies. and
number of students from st. Michael's
! SEMINARY, Pittsburgh, drawn hither by the
death of their fellow student, Frank Kit
tell, chanted the Miserere Mt the Catholic
cemetery. The Orations of MeSSrs. Dick,
Johnston, Reade and Scchler did infinite
credit to the cause and to the heads and
hearts of the gentlemen named.
On Monday last. lad named Horace
Atkins whose parents reside in the East
Ward, fell from wagon loaded with lum-
Der, near Shinklcs grist mill, a short dis
tancc southwest of this place, and was
caught under one of the wheels, which were
locked at the time, and dragged short
distance, thereby decorating one of his legs
so ShOckinGly that it was feared amputa-
tion would have to be resorted to, though
at last accounts the injured boy was doing
well, and it was thought tie leg could be
saved. Had there been no lock upon the
wagon wheels, the probabilities are that
the lad would have been run Overland fatal
ly injured.
The G. V. Brooke Dramatic Club, of
Altoona, an organization composed exclu-
sively of home talenr, has been billed for
another entertainment in that city on Sat
urday evening, June 21St, the leading play
selected for the occasion being Rory o.
Moore an Irish drama of the first order.
The @. '. B.'s have heretofore met with
great success i'll their histrionic efforts and
as their presentations are true to life and Of
more than ordinary merit, there can be no
doubt that an immense audience will greet
them on the coming occasion. Wish we
could tempt them to visit Ebensburg, if
for nothing else than to breathe for a brief
period the pure air of this delightful lati-
tude.
Doubtless ignorant of the fact that
local option prevailed in this city, says the
Altoona Tribune of the Ith inst. Il Cambria
county man came down here Yesterday for
the purpose of obtaining his beer, and he
got it too, ut the Exchange Hotel, vet we
believe that it was the first time the pro-
prctor permitted any beer to leave his
premises since the prohibition law went
into effect. The gentleman in question
