pauiOn cut one of Jacks legs very severely,
a few years ago, and amputation III that
case followed shortly after. If the poor
fellow meets with much more bad luck of
the kind there wont be great deal Of him

meeting Of ex-sOlders and citizens at the
Court House on Friday evening of this

A German named Louis Dumond was

J ished had not his situation been So OppOr-

We have only space this week to notice
/ briefly the fact that Messrs Brown u Bro,
I of Altoona, have opened rooms i'll this place
for the sale of the renowned and popular
Singer Sewing Machine, and that they are
about opening rooms for the purpose-one
of the firm te remain here and the other to
hold forth at the latter point. These gen
1 tIemen are sons of Mr.. w. b. Brown, who
at one time published a newspaper in our
town, and being correct business men and
sole agents in this county for one OF the
best sewing machines in the market, we
have no doubt they will win their way to
deserved success. Agents are wanted to
canvass the county-men with teams pre-
/ ferred.
