load of apples in Indiana at one dollar ner

there was only two halves in bushel in
stead of four. So says the Indiana Messen-
ger.
The wife of John Costello, of Martins

This is evidently not healthy year
for the political aspirations of Cambria
county editors, although it would be better
for the editors, and might be as well for
the people, if the opposite was the fact.

! Il young man named Geo. W MYERS
residing at Livermorc, fell from the abut-
! ment of n railroad bridge on tho West
| Penn railroad, on Saturday last. near
Blairsville, and received such injuries that
he died from their effects. Deceased had
been to Greensburg with his company, and
! had returned to Blairsville, and was abou.
walking home, a distance of five miles,
when he met with the terrible accident
! which terminated his life. Young Myers
| father was killed about one year ago by a
| tree falling upon him.
Our young friend and neighbor, Dan
iel II. Zahm, was knocked senseless and
painfully injured, on Saturday evening
! last, in consequence of the swapping in two
of spring pole with which he was assist
ing to secure load of straw on his wagon
A portion of the broken pole flew up and
struck MIR. Zahm in the face, prostratin q
and injuring him as above stated, and for
time it was feared that his tight eve
was destroyed but we are glad to say
that the fear proved groundless, and also
that Mr.. Zahm is about again, although
obliged to wear one side of his face in
a sling.
The Democracy OF Blair county hayn
good reason to rejoice with exceeding great
Joy over the election of their candidate for
Protbonotary, Col. James p. Stewart, who
leads his radical competitor about 800 votes.
The vote was exceedingly light in the cOun-
ty, principally among Democrats, but the
result, with the above praiseworthy excep-
ton, is as dark as Egyptian midnight, the
rest of the radical ticket coming out of the
contest with majorities ranging from 400
to 600. Ex-Sheriff Funk, the Democratic
candidate for Assembly, was defeated thro'
the apathy of his party friends, he having
carried several of the strongest radical dis
trcts in the county.
The ladies in this vicinity have no
reason to complain, as did the renowned
Flora McFlimsy, of baving nothing to
wear, for even peep, which of course no
feminine would deem entirely satisfactory,
will reveal the fact that Mrs. r. E. Jones
has just received, at her millinery and
dress making establishment in the East
/ Ward, an abundant stock of new and fash
ionable goods in her line, which are now
open and ready for the inspection and pur-
chase of the fair sex. Our lady readers
will do well to note this fact and act upon
it in time, as first choice is always worth
winning. Splendid goods at fair prices is
what Mrs. Jones is prepared to supply to
all customers.
