Giump OF woods short distance from the

tented with its situation.
Potato bugs swarm our streets lust
now IN countless prOfusiOn. Like Othello.
their occupation is gone, and having
probably learned that Ebensburg contains
more people III proportion TO its popula-
ton who do nothing and have nothing.
and yet seemingly live like fighting cocks,
than any other town in the commonwealth.
they have migrated hither in hopes of
ekelng out an existence in like manner

nature of his injuries viii permit.
Joe w. Furey, Esq, one of the editors
Of tue recently defunct Williamsport Stand
ard, has returned to his first love, the Bel
fOnte Waterman, on which he has resumed
the duties of associate editor. The Watch-
man is one of the liyelieSt and best con

Tho chap that fools with the wild
beasts at meuaGeries attended a show in
Philipsburg, not many days ago, and
with that intrepidity peculiar to drunken
men tried to form the acquaintance of a
sleepy looking leopard. The animal, how
ever, wasn't much on familiarity, and
whcu the hoozy chap withdrew from the

that could well be imagined, besides suf-
fering from n blow on the neck with an
iron bar, which one of the showmen had
/ inadvertently inflicted while trying tC
stIrko the leopard.

/ The theft was committed at his residence

( ''pOrt Of enCTy.' When people are toe
! lazy to work and too proud to beg, OF
course they must steal, but it seems to us
there are enough mean men in the country
to ego for in that way without cleaning
out'' such clever fellows as our genial friend
Joe. We could furnish the names of 4
few fit subjects from OuI subscription book,
if necessary to save better men.

of Huntingdon, Miffiin, Juniata and Cen
tire counties. Three hundred and seventy
nine ballots were taken before this result
