The Ebensburg String Band propose
to amuse themselves and all their friends
in grand picnic in Lloyd's grove, on
next Saturday, and are making extensive
preparations for = good time and lots of
fun. We would be glad to see them make
nice thing of it, for good string band is
always worthy of encouragement, and the
boys possess the material for just such a
band. Lend them a helping hand
during the trial of the Strayer vs.
Campbells libel case, yesterday morning
something that ''Squibbs'' had said in the
Voice about putting a wooden leg to a
Jackass, etc, induced slight contention
among the lawyers engaged on the case
which little unpleasantness led Judge Dean
to remark that there was no necessity for
such a manifestation of asperity. etc. His
Honor doubtless meant jackass-p -peritywhen
he made the remark.
"A young man named Thos. MusCriff
resident of Chicago, was accidently
thrown, or fell, from passenger train. two
miles and a half below Huntingdon, on
Friday night last and was killed Instantly
lie was on his way to Washington. in com
pany with sister, who did not learn of
hls sad fate until she had reached Harris
burg, when she returned and took charge
of the remains, which were taken eastward
for interment on Saturday evening.
We transfer To our columns this week
the advertisement Of G.. W. Neager x Co,
Altoona, dealers in stoves, tiuware, etc.
We do this without leave or license, but
knowing that our young friends can stand
the pressure, and that our readers in this
and other sections viii lose nothing by
being reminded Of the existence Of such
firm, we insert their card without fear of
the consequences. More deserving OF more
liberal business men never sought the pat
rouage of any people. and we are sure that
all viii profit by dealing with them.
AS viii be seen by a double column
advertisement elsewhere. our eute-prisinn
and progressive young friend, Mr.. John 5.
little, has become associated with Mr..
John Benton in the hardware business at
Nos. POS and 2l0 Main street. Johnstowp,
taking the place of Mr.. Harry Wayne,
who retires, we hope, with his fortune
made. The new firm is one of the most
deserving in the county, Mr.. Benton and
MIR. little both being honest and honora-
able gentlemen, and none deserve more
fully the patronage of all classes.
-During the prevalence of a heavy
thunder storm. about 105 o'clock on
Wednesday night of this week, the barn
of Mr.. Martin AIundy, in jackson town
ship, some four or five miles west of this
place, was struck by Lightning, set on fire
and totally consumed, together with all the
hay, grain and other produce it contained.
The loss is estimated at So, 900, on which
there is said to be an insurance in the
Cambria Mutual of 81, 200. The light was
plainly visible from this place, and for the
time being excited considerable curiosity
among those who We're still up and doing
at that late hour.
While in Philadelphia, ON our way to
Wilkesbame, last week, we hung up our
hat for brief period at the st. Cloud Ho-
tel, and when we took it down again
found it had been ''chalked," thanks to
the clever and enterprising proprietors,
Messrs. Mullin Brothers, the gentlemen
who cater so acceptably to summer visi-
tors at the Mountain House, Cresson. The
st. Cloud is second only to the Continent
nj in size, and second to no hotel in exist
ence III the matter of appointments, ard
no one who appreciates kind treatm ent
and fair prices should fail to soioun at
that famous hostlery while visiting Phila-
delpha.
The Indiana County Democracy have
nominated Jesse NJ. Harter for Assembly,
Hail Clark for Treasurer, Archie Davis for
Commissioner, Adam II. BrauShler for
Auditor, and James p. Carter for Jury
Commissioner and have a dead sure thing
on the election of the latter, at least
Nothing would afford us greater pleasure
than to give Harter a big lift, if we had
the power. As 1t is, we strongly suspect
he Will catch Jesse in that double-Gyed radi-
cal stronghold. The vote that he will re-
ceiye, however, will be the best evidence
OF the high respect entertained for him
by those who know him and appreciate his
sterling qualities as a man and Demo
crat.
-WilmOre is once more to be gladdened
with a grand Fair on behalf of st. BarthOl-
omew's church. in that place, which is to
be lnaugurated in about two weeks and
continue for several days. All that tends
to the enjoyment Of participants and the
success of good cause, will be provided
In abundance, and no one need Stay away
under the impression that he is not invited
for the object is to have large crowd,
plenty of enjoyment and good cheer, and
make lots of money in the operation. Next
week we shall state the time of opening
and continuance of the Fair more definite
ly, and in the meantime let all prepare to
have a good time in aid of most COM
mendable object.
Out in Plattville, n few days ago, one
Mrs. b. called on another Mrs. 3. for the
purpose of settling little difficulty grow
ing out of a stone-thrOwing tournament
between two belligerent youths, sons re
spectively of the two Mrs. BIS aforesaid.
As peace offering, if indeed it was so in
tended, the visit did not prove a success,
for instead of settling the old scrape the
first Mrs b. was herself settled very effect
ually, the implement used being a common
CHAIR IN the bands of t'other Mrs. B. At
last accounts the injured Amazon was
seeking redress at the hands of the law,
but as it was ''pull Dick, pull Devil sort
OF an arrangement all round the probability
is that nothing further viii be heard Of it.
1t is to be hoped, however that the strong
minded feminines will endeavor to live
more like Brothers in the future.
