! The JohnstoMn Voice declares with
seeming earnestness that James Morley,
Esq, of that place, is the posSessor of an
English bulldog, recently imported, which
has not partaken of food for several weeks,
and yet is as round and rotund as the best
fed ''purp" in the county. But then the
Voice is not a G. Washington kind of a
paper on any subject.
The barn of Mr.: Andrew Decker. in
Henderson township, Huntingdon countv-
about two miles and half from Hunting
don borough, was totally destroyed by fire,
about clock, A. NJ, on SATURDAY. last
The barn contained all his grain, hay, and
farming tools, ali Of which were lost The
fire was evidently the work of an incendi-
airy, as the fiend was tracked to and from
the promises. Mr.. Decker estimates his

The Huntingdon Journal tells this
story A couple of hands on a wood train;
few days ago, prepared their dinner
upon chopplng. Among other luxuries
they made themselves a cup of coffee
However, while drinking their coffee thev
thought it had queer taste, and immedi-
ately after they were seized with violent
vomiting. They determined to examine
their teapot, and i'll the bottom of it they
found copperhead snake. How the ser
Some time ago, Mr.. John w. Lape;
living near Laughlinstown, Westmoreland
county, says the GreenS6urg Democrat,
was engaged i'll hauling manure, a little
BOY was driving the horses, and Mr.. Lape
was standing on the wagon throwing off
the manure. The horses made Il sudden
start and Mr.. l.. was thrown backwards to

injuries to the spine from which he died

large concourse of people.
Miss Flora McFlimsy, with nothing to
wear, may have had, as the world goes, a
great deal to bare. but we very much
doubt-aye, indeed, we could swear-that
her troubles would not for Il moment COM
pare with what newspaper man is forced
to endure when locals are scarce and steal
ings are poor. And as that's what's the
matter with the Freeman this week, home
news that's newsy in vain you will seek :;
but we've done all we can, and none could

In another column will be found the
opinion OF the Supreme Court iii the quo
tedTrdRtO case against Judge Potts of the
District Court of Cambria county, from
L
dcclal cd not entitled to hold his Office
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Judge Agnew, and as he had said i'll the
case Of llite against Swauk that none of
the Judges of the District Court held le-
gal commissions, his present decision is
not surprise, but in harmony with what
he had already declared. We presume
that the Governor will once more rehaUili-
tate the Court by making an appointment
to fill the vacancy.
