Whatever apology is due the Altoona
Ifi6C1s fer giving it cl edit for a sensation
al story published by us few weeks ago
in regal d to an alleged drunken engineer
who, it seems, was not drunk at all, but
merely lInacquainted with that portion of
the road, is fully and freely made now and
here. We copied the account from the
Pittsbmg Dispatch and gave credit as we
found ii.
We acknowledge the receipt of New
Years addresses from the Altoona Tribune.
Tyrone Herald, Newport Neaos, and Pitts
ton COhaet-all of them in pamphlet form
and exceedingly creditable to the s'prnt
shops" from which they emanated. This
is particularly true of the Altoona Tribune
greeting. which is model of beauty that
does eminent honor to that first class print

MI. Daniel Little, ST., an old and re-
spected citizen of Chest Springs borough,
died vely suddenly, on Saturday evening
last, of heart disc aSe. Mr.. l.. had been
some what unwell for few days, but had
partaken of n hearty supper and smoked
his pipe on the evening in question, and
then lay down upon his bed, where he ex-
pired soon after without making 4 sign
His age was about 20 cas-

extensively than ever in the flour and feed
line, and can promptly furnish the very
best of these commodities in large or small
quantities, at less rates, he declares, than
any man i'll the business. Mr.. Oatman
keeps a stock of nearly all kinds of goods
which cannot be excelled for excellence
or variety, aud as he sells strictly I cash
he gives good bargains to all buyers.
If sympathy is of any value to boss
Traugh, of the Hollidaysburg Standard
now that the fire fiend has partially des-
troyed his office and interfcred for short
time with the publication of the ''gay and
incompatible" we are sure he will have
enough of that commodity to last him a
lifetime. 1t is pleasure, however, to
know that his loss is fully covered 10y in
surance, and that ere many days one of
the best papers published in the State or
out of it will reappear i'll an entire new out
fit. So mote it be.
A man named Vaughn and woman
named Kuhn, both of Altoona, have got
themselves into the Hollidaysburg jail Oh
charges Of adultery and desertiOn, prefer
red by their respective pal tners in wedlock,
simply because they mistook each other
for man and wife about month and half
ago and went all the way to Philadelphia,
where they boarded and lodged together
until Naughn's watch, coat and last shirt
and nearly all the wearing apparel of his
festive companion, who, by the way, took
an infant in arms with her, had gone ''up
the spout to hquidate their current ex-
