"A gentleman named Goodrich. or
! Goodman, has just became possessor by
/ right of purchase of Father Christy's s neat
little cottage in this place, for. which he
| ''socked up" the snug sum of 81, 900. The
same gentleman is credited with the pur-
chase of S75, 900 worth of timber land in

may be considered ''big thing on tim

1877, and has not been heard of bv his
brothers. Information from Ireland to his
advantage is in the possession of his broth
ers, and they would like to know of his
whereabouts. Other papers will confer
favor by copying.
A young lady named Ankney fell out
of 4 second story window in Somerset or
somewhere near that place, few nights
ago, and when found on the ground, some
twelve or fourteen feet beneath the win
dow was still snoOzing away, perfectly un-
injured. The man that takes that girl to
wife will have happy time of it waking
her up cold mornings to make the fire and
cook the breakfast.
"A lad named Edmiston, aged about 0
years, son of Mr.. Elias Edmiston, of Sus-
quehanua township, was drowned in a mill
pond, on Tuesday evening last. He was
amusing himself OH miniature raft, and
while engaged fell into the water and
was drowned before a helping hand reached
him. Some boys and girls who go boating
on the dams i'll this vicinity should take
warning by this sad occurrence.
Two of our piscatorial friends I'VE
don't know that they are our friends by
any remark they made) inveigled sixty
three ''speckled beauties from their ma
tive element on Wednesday afternoon last.
Where they did it we don know to GER
tainty, but one of the party declares lie
coul1 have caught a great many Moore if
he had had n better man (Which of course
would be an in1possibility) to Clark FOR him.
james +. Campbell, ST., the gentle
man who runs the Voice and saws he is not
willing to let the Tribune run him (out of
JOhnstOwn), was in to see us on Wedues-
day. He looks as if that ''little unpleas-
antness" didn't press down very hard on
his physical frame, and talks about fight
ing it out on that line'' if he should have
to resort to potatoes and salt to keep body
and soul together. Campbell has pluck,
whatever else he may lack.
speaking of the appointment of Faith
er Christy, of this place, as a member of
the Reception Committee for the coming
meeting at Pittsburgh of the "Grand Army
of the Cumberland, - the Johnstown Zri6-
it5e takes occasion to say that ''the brave
ry of the Reverend gentleman, during the
hercest engagements of the late rebellion,
is attested by many residing in this city,
who belonged to the same corps, and it is
no wonder that he was known throughout
the southwest as the minister who could
fight as well as pray -
Capt. Dan Bolton of Oil City went

ger conductor on tile Pa. r. r., both of

Lucy, daughter of Andrew Wibel
decd, and Teresa Wibel, died in Cambria
township, of diptheria, on Tuesday last,
aged years, z months and 3 days. Fol
lowing close upon the death of Mr.. Wibel
himself Coties this sad bereavement to the
widowed, stricken mother, and to this great
grief is yet, in all probability, to be added
the death of still another and a younger
daughter, who now lies beyond hope of re-
coyery, victim Of the same disease. Veri-
ly and indeed is the cross laid upon this
poor woman's shoulders hard to be borne.
Harry G. Teeter a typographical
and editorial friend of bygone days,
formerly a resident of Johnstowp, paid us
a friendly visit yesterday. Harry looks a
hundred per cent. better now than he did
when lie straddled the tripod, and we are
glad to know that he is doing a hundred
per cent. better financially. From soft
soaping everybody newspaporially he has
turned his attention to hard-soaping the
people down South-that is, he is CONNER
cial agent in the south and southwest for
the Virginia and Ohio Soap Company. So
mote it be.
The renowned "HayeS' Quartette''
gave two entertainments in this place, on
Friday and Saturday evenings last, which
were pretty well attended and gave very
general satisfaction, as was made manifest
by the rounds of applause which greeted
their performance throughout. The Hayes
brothers are liberal, honorable gentlemen,
and their ''better halves are accomplish
ed, amiable ladies, and as such we hope to
see them prosper in the role they have as
sumed; still it would be base fiattery in US
to say that they are the equals of some
troupes we have listened to. They have
our best wishes none the less.
What prompted our good old friend,
Henry Fettinger, of Altoona, to do such
thing, is of course neither here nor there;
but certain it is that he has sent rs an ele-
CANT gilt edged, morocco bound prayer
book, which OF course our piety VIII induce
US to use frequently, not forgetting to re-
member the gray-haired, warm hearted
giver of the good thing while so doing.
By the way, we see Mr.. Fettinger's name
mentioned in connection with the Demo
