We have already referred 10 the fact
that OHIO Hoelle, of Ltlly's Station, has in
course of erection a large and comInodious
hotel building at that place, ana have since
learned Jhat the ed!fce viii be complete and
ready for business early next Spring, when
Alr. II. will be prepared to accommodate
about thirty permanent or transient board
ers. We are glad to note the extensive i'm
provement at LillY'S, which is q pleasant
enouGh place to attract sojourners especial
Iy during the summer months, and under
the charge of so experienced and accornrno-
dating gentleman us Mr.. Hoelle we are
sure that the new hotel will win as il will
surely deserve, Il liberal share of public pa-
troLage.
Although we opposed Thomas Griffith
10 the bitter end when he was a candidate
last fall for County Treasurer, we cannot
refrain from bearing willing testimony TO
his zeal and efficiency in favor of the atlOp-
tOn Of the new constitution at the late cleo
tion. He labOred earnestly and actively in
the good cause from the opening to the clo-
sing of the polls, while his efforts were at
tempted TO be couutcracted by ut least two
political friends in the township adjoining
this borough. The result of the vote. 126
for and oaly Is against the constitution
is conclusive evidence that his labors were
not without their reward and that the Re
pubiicanS Of his township We're almost
unanimously with him.
A farmer named Goughnour left his
span Of horses unhitched at SummerhiIl one
day last week while he Went into a store to
attend to some business, aud the next thing
he saw Of them they were getting over
ground with the wagon to which they were
attached in the direction of the railroad
track, which :hey reached just in time 70 en-
able Il passing train to collide with the
wagon and knock the greater portion of it
into smithereens, besides scattering the grain
it contained TO the four winds of heaven.
The horses then made Oft with the balance
of the wagon, but failed TO take ii and the
greater portion of the gears home with them.
In fact one of the horses did not reach home
until the following morning unfortunately
neither of them were injured
The Johnstown Voice seems to he pain
fully exercised over the fact that NJ. z.
Mcagher wrote for the freeman a series of
letters about ireland some two years ago,
though what connection there is between
that fact and the recent rascalities of the
said MeaghCr, or in what way the good nau.e
-
publication Of The letters in question, is by
no means apparent. albeit the Voice seems
intent upon creating that impression. Ger
tain il is that the letters were interesting
and instructive. and that the man who wrote
them knew what he was talking about, and
that Is more than can Toe said for fully two
thirds Of TIE stuff that has appeared in the
editorial and local department of the Voice
since its first appearance less than a year ago.

We do this wecl, what we should have
done last, notice the dCa'h of a valued friend
and brother typo. Mr.. john W. Mckinney,
which occurred in Harrisburg on Monday
night of last week, caused by IA combination
of diseases, among which dropsy prcdomi-
mated. Mr.. Mckinney, like OIrSelf, was n
graduate of the HolIidaysburg Stamford Of
fee. where, under the mastery tuition of
that genial gentleman and one Of the best of
printers, .. y. Traugh, Esq. he acquired q
complete knowledge of the art and became
one Of the most efficient and competent
vcrIzmen we have ever known. In addi-
tlru, he was n gentleman of more than ordi-
nary intelligence, and rs a writer had few
>rr"rioTS among country journalists. He
was at one time connected with the Altoona
SuD, with which paper he severed his re-
latious to take up his abode in Harrisburg,
where he was employed in the Telegraph of
fee at the time Of his death. He served in
the J4th Pa. Vols. under Col. VIM. G. Muir
ray. during the war His age was about
% years, and he leaves a wife and two or
three children.
Two brothers, both young men, hailinG

Of respect for their parents, came to This
place on Friday last rs witnesses in an arhi-
t-at:on trial. and while here managed to
saturate their hides with enough bug juice
to make them dcviliSh, or at least TO serve
as an excuse for induIgiug their worst pas
sions, and while in that maudin con
dirion not only belched forth the most
Disgusting profanity, hdt sought 70 pick
quarrel with nearly every person they met.
In this latter particular they We're eventual
