The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1873-04-18

course much Hveler than any beneath it,
locked in upon us briefly Wednesday last.
Judge Lloyd, of this place, has been
appointed agent for the Travellers Accident
Insurance Company in all of Cambria coun-
ty outside the limits of JohnstowR. Mess.
Kerr & Co., of Altoona, who are monarchs
in this particular of all they survey from
the Susquehanna to the Allegheny rivers,
did it for the Judge.
Mr.. Co., who probably has more pa
per out than any man in tho country, has
just gone into partnership with the mimi
table Matt. O'Neill, and livelier time
than ever in the saddle and harness bust
ness may henceforth be looked for in that
quarter. Matt. is a whole team himself,
but one more i'll the harness will make the
team that much stronger and enable it to
do more work and draw more custom.
The lacteal fluid has suddenly ceased
to flow i'll the vicinity of Capt. Hite's hos
pitable habitation. Cause why, the Cap
tain's COW, a very valuable one, got her head
into the meal-bin, which had been inad-
vertently left open on Wednesday evening,
and in the effort to get it out again her fore
feet slipped from under her and death from
strdngulation followed soon after. She has
left fine calf to mourn her untimely fate.
1t is the height of some peoples am
bition to have a District Court in Johns
town. but Capt Hite don't seem to behold
it in those optics. At least we judge SO
from the fact that he has expressed a de-
termination to see what the Supreme Court
has to say about the matter before he per-
mits the newly appointed Clerk of the Dis
trict Court to pocket fees which he claims
belong of right to himself as Prothonotary
of the county. We shall sec what We shall
see.
The ClearficldRattsmdn' s sJournalsays
that an old man from Cambria county,
whose name it did not learn, met with
severe accident at Chase's dam, on Clear
field Creek, while rafting week before last.
4 tree had fallen across the dam, and as
the raft passed under the tree it knocke
the old man off into the water. He caught
on the edge of the raft with his hand, and
Just then stub of a limb caught the hand
and literally tore the flesh of on both the
inside and back.
The Ebcnsburg Jail at present contains
eight prisoners. Two of these are awaiting
trial, five are serving sentences, and one is
held until n rcQuisition is received from the
proper authorities in Clearfeld county, for
larceny committed in that county, and
for which he was bound over by Esquire
Scanlan, of Carroltown. The Sheriff is
now compelled to keep a record of the
name, height, complexion, age, size of foot,
etc, of every prisoner received i'll the coun-
ty iail.-JOhnstocn Tribune.
The death of the infant child of Mr..
VIM. 4. Jones, of this place, noticed else
where, leaves that gentleman entirely be-
! reft of what was until less than six weeks
! ago most interesting andi promising
! young family but completes we hope ono
Of the saddest series of bereavemcnts this
community has ever been called upon to
witness. Death has deprived him of wife,
father and two children in rapid success
sion, and it may well be conceived that the
measure of his bereavement has been filed
TO its utmost capacity.
The barn of Mr.. J. F. GoughnOur, in
/ Taylor Township, narrowly escaped being
burned down few evenings ago. One of
the members of his family happened to OBJ
serve bright light at the barn at about II
/ o'clock at night, and fastening out hc dis
covered quantity of hay on the barn floor
on fire. Fortunately he was enabled to
promptly quench the flames, and thus pre-
vent disastrous conhagratiOn. Mr.. Cough
nour is under the impression that 4 lucifer
match may have been dropped upon the
floor and this was perhaps ignited by rat.
= Our friend and patron, Mr.. VIM.
| Larimcr, of Cambria township, three miles
west of this place, had, we regret to an
nounce, the misfortune to lose his dwelling
! house and nearly all his furniture by fire
! on Tuesday afternoon last. The fire was
! communicated from n stove-pipe passing
through the roof, and as Mr.. L. was absent
| from home at the time, little could he done
to save even the movable property, all OF
which, except one feather-bed and few
articles of clothing, were consumed along
with the building The loss cannot DO
much short of 81 1000, and as Mr.. l.. is
| poor man and without any insurance the
! loss will fall very heavily upon him. +
