! Tuesday night last the stables of Mr.
| Samuel knupp and Mr.. James Menocher
= farmers residing in Ligonier Valley, were
! entered and two horses stolen from the re.
! spective gentlemen named. 1t is SUPPOSED
| the horse thieves went of in the direction
( of Bedford county. Dir. Knupp offers Sat
! reward for the arrest OF the individual who
| stole his horse.
| That was a dry joke last week about
| Myers & Lloyd's a. No l mackereI and
| also about their elegant overcoats (the lat
| ter at first cos), but it is neither . dry or a
/ wet joke TO affirm that n. & L. have as com
/ plete an assortment of goods of all kinds as
{ can be found In the county, and that they
/ sell as cheap, If not a little cheaper, than
/ any of their neigh bOrS
Our butcher friend, Joe Gutwald, drove
/ into town on Wednesday two head of steers
/ whose combined weight brought down the
| scales at $3.50 pounds. They arc the finest
! cattle that have been slaughtered in our town
/ for ten years. One Of them has already biz
! the dust, and the flesh thereof will be on ex-
! hibition and sale at Gutwaids s meat market
! this evening. Try n sirloin or two
! We had intended to publish the names
/ OF such township and borough officers, re-
/ Gently elected, as have come to orr know
I ledge-in fact, promised as much in regard
| 10 the Gailitzin otficials-hut our space is so
much taken mp with local CorresnoudeuCe
and communications that we have found il
/ Impossible To do So. Such publication how
! ever, would be of little interest to the gener-
al reader.
Our muscular friend and patron. Can't.
j. &. Carroll, conductor Of the Way Passen-
ger train OIL the Pa. r. r.. took the starch
out OF an obstroperOus passenger the other
day by s"using him in n pond Of water near
Lilly S Station. The newly regenerated''
was annoying the other inmates of the car
at the time, and moral suasiom having proved
| unavalling in his case, he no doubt stood
( badly in need of just such cooling off as
he received at the hands of Capt Carroll.
Hon. j. y. o Brien, Republican mem
Der of the Legislature from the Fifth Phila-
delphia District, visited our town on Mon
day last for the purpose of placing his young
son under the care of the Sisters of St. 10
seph, at Mt. GallitZin Seminary. Mr.. Con-
roy, prominent citizen OF Pittsburgh, who
was the temperance candidate, and the sUC-
cessful one, for the magnificent gold watch
recently voted for at the Cathedral Fair in
that city, was here on like erraud on Tues
day. ~ had the pleasure of forming his
acquaintance and found him a sociabie
clever and intelligent gentleman. Welcome
| back often.
This from the Hollidaysburg STANDARD .
| The JohnstO=vn Tribune If we may believe
its figures and averments, thinks the Blair
| county aims house is econ nomically conduct
| ed, compared with that of Cambria
! Down this way the taxpayers think some
! what differently, i. g., so far as the ecouOJuy
is concerned. Possibly, if the Tribune were
to take the difference in the value of the
farms connected with the two houses into
consideration, and add 1t to the difference
expended in t-d00r relief and the number
of ''paups' inside the building, and then
strike thcfLaianCc, etc, tho difference might
not be so great as would appear on reading
the ITjJslHe'S one-sided statement
We publish on our first page as liter
airy curiosity, what purports to be = true
story of B7IIlah, but we sure that the
knowing ones will smile at the gullibility
not to say prevarications of the emterpri-
sing author. Beulah never numbered among
r. fslr pI1C n Tta TrI,,,
family named Rede-never was surrounded
or even bounded on the north, south east or
west by open fields and pastures green
never knew what it was to have an oak tree
in its immediate vicinity, and never did or
saw done ysIFious other things attributed to
it by the authOr of this ''O'er tYue tale. -
More than that, the Yankee dialect was
never heard within its sacred precincts, and
to-day there is scarcely one stone upon an
other TO mark the place where Beulah once
flourished, much less are there tumbIe-down
houses, windowless, doorless, etc, now to
be seen on the spot.
