A committee of arrangements, consist

Erect, and j. B. Decker. have notified Mr.
&. 7. Roberts that basket picnic will be
| held by the employees of the Altoona car
department at the usual grounds, Ebens-
burg, tomorrow Saturday.. The picnick-
ers will be accompanied by their wives
daughters and sweethearts, and friends. A
general invitation to the people of Ebens-
burg to participate in the pleasures of the
occasion is eXtended--au in vitation which
We feel sure will he eagerly accepted by all
who delight 10 the old-fashioned though ra-
| tional enjoyment peculiar to picnics.
On Wednesday evening of last week a
pleasure party consisting of seven young
rnsn and three young ladies started in a
hack from Altoona to drive a distance into
the country. They accomplished the trip,
but while OH their way homcward the hack
went over an embankmeut thirty or forty
feet high, carrying its living freight with il
with the exception Of the driver, who jump
ed In time and escaped uniiurt or the re-
mander, two were killed outright, Edward
BOhn aud Lista Hockenberry, and the 9th
ers were more less injured. The neck
and arm of the latter were broken. 1t was
fearful ending to an evening of festivity.
That prince of pedlers and peer Of clever
gentlemen, Mr.. John II. NJ pore, whose ahid-
ing place ia Altoona, but who is perfectly at
home wherever he reins in his spanking
team Of four fine horses and opens out his
large, handsome and well filled notion wagon
for the benefit of his numerous customers,
has placed rs under obligations for a box of
valuab knck- -knacks, consisting of quite p
number of desirable articles for home and
Office use. Mr.. Moore is good fellow any
way you take him, and as he expects to re-
turn to Northern Cambria in few days,
trust his merchant friends will take ad-
vantage Of the occasion to take off his hands
anything they may need in his line.
If our generous young friend willie
we presume he is young because his name
indicates mUch-will furnish us with the
balance of his cognOmen, all doubts as to the
identity of the kind gentleman who sent US
barrel full of the largest and finest Eariy
Rose potatoes we have ever feasted upon
will he completely removed and we shall
breathe easier AS it is we only know that
w
letter was post-marke6 ''Loretto," and while
we are none the less thankful for his very
generous and very acceptable present, We
would be glad to know the full name of one
v hose heart prompted SO kindly act, so
tina. might treasure it in our heart of
hearts for all time 70 come.
The Altoona Radical tells this story
The other day n Cambria county man who
missed the Way Passenger at Bells Mills,
and not wishing TO wait for :he Mail in the
evening, boarded freight train, getting in
side of box car where two tramps were
stealing their passage The train had scarce
ly pulled out before the tramps-s shut the car
door and coolly requested the Cambrian to
disgorge all the loose change and other valu-
ables he had about him. The stubborn son
of the mountain refused to accede to their re-
quest and intinated that the first man who
laid hands on him would be shot on the spot.
Notwithstanding he hadn't as much as a
penknife in the weapon WAY, he scared tho
tramps and rode to this city unIuolested.
We have been shown by our townsman,
John Fenlon, Esq, a neatly printed card of
invitation for himself and wife to attend the
nuptiais of Mr. Mich'l Hook and Miss Min
ME r., daughter of Colonel and Mrs. c. w.
Wingard formerly of Ebensburg, which is
announced to take place at St. Mary's Cathe-
dral, San Francisco, at 10 O'Clock, a. M, on
Monday next, which is also the twentieth
anniversary of the marriage of hr. and Mrs.
Wingard. The happy young bride as is TO
be has the best wishes of the many friends
of herself and family in this their old come
for long life of unaiioyed felicity, and al
though a total stranger, the printer man can
not refrain from expressing the hope that
the Hook which is about to impale so pre-
cious Minnie is well baited with true moral
worth and all the other attributes of perfect
manhood. SO mote 1T be.
Although the day was delightful, the
arrangements made and provisions supplied
for the enjoyment and feeding of a multitude
ample and first class, and the cause for which
it was given emnently deserving, we regret
to say that our own people, as well as those of
other places which have benefited largely of
Ebensburg's bounty on like occasions, did
not attend so fully they should have done
the picnic on Wednesday last in aid of the
schools of the good Sisters of St Joseph, and
the result was rather sim showing IN the
xyav of greenbacks For a certain reason TO-
morrow's festivities will no doubt be better
attended To Mr. Abel Lloyd the thanks
