AS the good book assures us that ali
flesh is grass, we suppose the Johnstown
Voice is right when it informs It's readers
that VI. P. Meagher, who is now Cork-ed up
in Ireland, really did have hdy-day of
glory at one time in that place. Had he
acted as the "favorite correspondent and'hi-
ographist' of the Voice, instead of the
FfeeDaGn, his shay day Of glory" would
probably have been postponed until next
harvest at least.

more properly speaking, Myers & Lloyd =
and see if they haven't a stock Of goods as
complete and elegant as there is on exhibit

And their prices-well, if they don't un-
dersell everybody else they allow no one to
undersell them-no matter what his pre-
tensions or promises may be.
Rev. ID. I. K. Rine, formerly resi-
dent of Johnstown, but who of late years
has occupied rather prominent notoriety
in police circles In and about Pittsburgh,
was on Saturday last sentenced for larceny
in the latter city to two years ''secluSion'
in the wOrkhouse, where he is now ''whOop-
ing around" in the coopers' department.
His crime was stealing money from his
brother-in-law. Besides being a preacher,
Mr.. Rine was member of the ''art pre-
servative," having learned his trade in
Greensburg, if we mistake not.
The Protection Mutual Fire Insurance
Company of Cambria county is gradually
attaining a large and safe business. There
have been issued from the Office of the
company during the current year, 23O pol
icies, which largely exceeds the business
done by the Company III any former year
since its organization and it is expected
that the number win reach fully $50 before
the close of the year, These policies cover
insurance principally on farm properties,
and are all on the safest class of risks.
This speaks well for the energy and
prudence of the officers who have the bust
ness in hand.
Mr.. T. NJ. Apple, of White township
informed us the other day that there is not
now a single log Job in operation in all
that region, one belonging to himself and
another owned by the MessTs. Finn having
been the last to succumb to the financial
pressure. By the way, Mr.. A. had the
misfortune to be thrown from his buggy in
consequence of one of the wheels coming
in contact with a stump, on Tuesday night
last, while on his way to this place, and
falling on his head sustained several pain
ful cuts and cOntusious which viii doubt
less serve to rank him among the ''Sore-
heads for some time to come.
The entertainment in the PRESBYTERIAN
church, on Tuesday evening next, prom
ises to be one Of the finest and most en-
iOyable ever given in this place. Rev. J.
W. Edie, through whose influence Rev.
Dr. Willis is coming here, is sparing nei-
ther labor nor expense to make it a grand
success. The lecture will be preceded by
a half hour concert, in itself worth the ad-
mission fee, and at the close, DIR. Willis,
it is hoped, will recite LOngfellOw's ''EX-
celsior'' which in itself is rare literary
treat. The honor of our town demands
full house, and we feel sure that no one
who attends will regret the time and money
expended.
Thomas Halston, a Norwegian, was
struck by the Cincinnati Express east, on
Sunday evening last, two miles below
Johustown, and was very severely though
not dangerously injured about the head,
face and back. He was taken in charge
by Poor Director Bloch, and will probably
recover. On Tuesday evening of this week
a like accident, attended by fatal results,
befcll stranger. name, Judging from
pass-boOk found on his person, was John
Lape, of Newmaustown, wherever that is.
The unfortunate man was walking on the
track. about two miles west of Mineral
Point, at the time, and was struck, knock
ed down and run over by freight train,
producing instant death.
After having secured the woods pretty
thoroughly from LlOyd's Station to Bells
Mills, without any result, the people IN
and about the former place have pretty
generally come to the conclusion that the
story told by Rosenberg, who accompanied
Hoffman, the supposed murdered man, on
his recent departure from home, and in
which he affirms that he parted company
with Hoffman in New York, where he had
squandered all his money in gambling
bell, is the correct one, and this belief is
10y the fact that the missing
man declared on several occasions that he
intended to pull up stakes and leave at the
first favorable opportunity. Rosenberg of
fered to accompany any or all of his accu-
sers to New York and point out the where
abouts of Hoffman, provided his expenses
were paid, but thus far he has no takers.
Sheriff William 3. Bonacker retired
from his Office last Saturday, his term of
service having expired. For many years
past the people of this county have been
very fortunate in the selection of their
sheriffs, and they were peculiarly so in the
choice Of Sheriff Bonacker. When we say
that in every respect he has been model
officer we only express the unanimous
sentiment of the people throughout the
county 4 gentleman by nature, he has
SO discharged the important trust cOnfided /
to him as to win the respect of all with
whom he had official business. While he
was prompt and efficient in the discharge
Of his duties, he was never harsh or op- /
oressive Sheriff Bonacker Intends re-
turning to Johnstown, his formerresidence, /
and in whatever business he may there en- /
gage he will have the best wishes OF the
people for his success. Herman Baumer,
his successor, is a gentleman of high char
,cter. and possesses all the qualifications
'aithfully and satisfactorily to discharge /
he duties of his important office.
