1t will no doubt interest MANY of our
Catholic readers to learn that Messrs. Lem
u mon q Murray have recently received a
nne invoice of prayer books; of all STYLES,
sizes and prices, direct from Dublin, Irg
LAND, where they seem to understand to
perfectlon the art of printing books in the
ciearest and most legible manner. Some
OF these prayer books were printed from
the largest type we have ever seen used ON
Oook work, and are just what prayerful
people with defective optics will be glad
TO secure. The same firm have a splendid
array of beautiful jewelry, warranted gold,
and other goods in the drug, book and
notion line in great variety, all which are
offered at the very cheapest rates and guar
anteed OF the very best quality.
Not beng aware of having received
any courtesies from Mr.. Thomas which one
gentleman might not accord to another
without thought of placing the recipient
under special obligations, we can't see
exactly where the Vofce's charge of ingrat-
itude comes in, even if it were possible to
base such charge upon the structures
which have appeared in these columns rel
atlve to that gentleman's recent political
course-an eminently proper subject for
newspaper comment, considering his for
mer position in the Democratic party. Yet
admitting, for argument sake, that we have
been guilty of ingratitude, we feel sure
that MIR. Thomas can find it in his heart to
forgive us, since he has thrown the mantle

guardism at his expense, and that too with
out any cause or provocation whatever.
John j. Gringer, colored man from
schenectady, n. Y, who was stealing a
ride between two express cars, was instant
ly killed i'll a wreck near Bolivar West
moreland countyj on Sunday morning last,
and George Miller, assistan: depot master
at Pittsburgh, was severely cut about the
head at the same time. The wreck was
caused by one freight train running into
several cars which had become detached
from another freight train Immediately in
front, the Southern Express in turn run
ming into the second freight The engi-
neer and fireman of the passenger train
jumped to the ground before the crash
came, and thus saved themselves from Sc
rious injury, if not from instant death.
AS it was, both were slightly hurt The
trains were moving slowly at the time; the
Express having been previously tagged
otherwise the result would, doubtless, have
been much more disastrous.
Prof. John A. Light, who made bal
loon ascension from the fair grounds at
Indiana, Wednesday afternoon, landed in
Blacklick township, this county, Eear
Thos. Duncan's mill, shortly before 4
o'clock, having made the distance, about
sixteen miles, in less than half an hour
His balloon, in descending, caught fast In
the tepmost branches of a couple of trees
some forty feet from the ground, and it
was only by the most vociferous yelling on
the part of the Professor that the atten-
tion of some men in the vicinity was at
tracted to his perilous position, from which
he was finally rescued, after good deal of
effort, by the aid of long rope. The bal
loon was considerably damaged by coming
i'll contact with the trees, but the intrepid
9rOnaut fortunately escaped without n
scratch. The highest attitude attained by
the air ship was 8, 900 feet. Mr.. Light re-
turned To Indiana the same evening.
Our old friend and former partner in
the publication of the Johnstown Echo, G..
Nelson Smith, Esq, gentleman well
and favorably known to nearly all the read
ers of the Freeman, has, we are pleased
to note, struck prolific streak of good
luck in the shape of rich and inexhaust-
| IDLE deposit of copper orc recently discov-
ereo Oh lahu owned by him IN Texas.
| Half ton of the ore was sent to Wheatley
Il Harvey's copper works, at Phenixville,
Pa, and upon being smelted, yielded fifty
per cent. of copper but rs that was only
surface ore, Mr.. Smith feels confident that
his mine will ''pan out" on an average not
less than seventy per cent, of pure copper.
| We hope his fondest expectations viii be
realized, and when he has amassed a
fortune from his newly found placer, and
| is looking around for somebody upon whom
to bestOw rich legacy, we trust that he'll
not forget his old ''pard" in poorer days.
Mr.. Smith is now at his home in Philadel-
phia, but will ere long return to Texas to
commence operations.
