but maintained his position intact.
Our genial put-up-in-a-small-pack

sented us with box of most excellent
cigars, which we take great pleasure in

Yesterday afternoon week a Young
man named John Rourle, a resident Of
Altoona, was precipitated from the top of
an unfinished tower of st. Johns Catholic

a broken arm and a dislocated shoulder.

cause his death, but he is now said to be in

lumber a short distance this side of Will
more, on Tuesday last. He was subject

1t is a big feather in the cap of the
| Cambria County Insurance Company to
say, as we have the authority of the gen
tlemanly Secretary. T. w. Dick, ESQ. for
saying, that during an existence of sixteen
years it has been forced to lay only three
slight assessments. 1t is one of the cheap
est and safest companies in which to insure,
and makes a speciality Of farm buildings
and isolated dwellings. During the month
of July 500, insurance were effected on
farm and private houses. No assessments
on account of late losses.
We were made glad for few hours
on Tuesday by the welcome presence of
our genial friend, Mr.. NJ. a. Murray, of
West Philadelphia, who, accompanied by
Mr.. frln frInY S1n,. 80
''his' n, - visited Ebensburg especially to see
US and ''our'n." Mr.. Murray landlords it
over the Crittenden House, w. Phila., has
a good wife and a sweet ''olive branch -
takes the Freeman, having paid for it from
Vol. 1, No. l, to five months hence, and is
about as clever and whole-souled gentle
man as ever 'Esmiled smole or winked
wunk.'' Peace be with him.
Two sisters named Elizabeth and Mar
tha Mcintyre were, as we learn from the
Greensburg Democrat, thrown from horse
which they were conformity riding on their
way to church at Latrobe, and when with
in about two miles of that place; on last
Sunday week. Martha sustained some
slight injuries, but Elizabeth was so badly
hurt that though medical aid was called in
thirty minutes, and everything possible
done, she expired at 2 o'clock on Tuesday
morning following. The principal injury
seemed to be in the spine, near the neck,
and paralysis followed soon after the injury.
William II. Patterson, the man who
was missing for twelve days, was brought
here, says the Huntingdon Globe, from
Freedom Forge, Mifflin county, on Tues
day last. The two men who were held in
custody here, on his arrival were released,
and the congratulations between them and
Patterson showed conclusively the pleas
ant relations that existed between them.
On learning the full extent of the trouble
he occasioned by his unaccounted for de
parture, Patterson gave way to tears, and
expressed his regrets. He went home to
Yellow Springs, the same day, a sadder
and we hope a wiser man.
