-Remember that the HAYES Quar-

James Hin, in Barr township, on Monday
last, and making its exit through one cor
ner of the mill, landed fully one hundred
yards away, and at point which would in
duce the belief that it had either gone COM

Thomas TOole fell from a scaffold
distance of thirty feet, while engaged in
taking down the brick work of the old st.
Johns Catholic church in Altoona, on

mystery.

bequest of Mrs. Mary Bennett, recently
deceased, of Allegheny county, to the
| Episcopal church of this city, is timely

help, and the memory of Mrs. Bennett
should be appropriately cherished by the
members of that denomination here"
1t is currently reported but not gener-

who attended the show at Loretto, yester-
day, in company with her 'feller," and
who was intently looking at the clown
whirling hat with stick, remarked to
her young man that ''she used to do that. -

are they should both be sent to Congress
as soon as possible. Rather than believe
