-Hollidaysburg has recently lost two
! of its most prominent, and most respected
citizens by death-David Watson, Esq,
at one time connected with the old POr-
tage Rail Road, and ex-Sheriff McKeage,
both of whom were residents of Johns
town about quarter of a century ago.
/ Peace to their ashes.
John Kline, coalminer in the employ
/ of Mr.. Henry Krsch, of Barr township, ex-
cavated and loaded on the mine cars four
hundred bushels of coal from o'clock, a.
m, to O'Clock, p. M, on Thursday of
last week-which is the biggest day work
: in coal mining that has ever come 10 our
/ knowledge. Can any one beat it
J We were always under the impression
/ that the letters d. II. in the 'ccgnomen of
/ our Burgess elect stood for proper Christian
names, but the way that some of the
/ straight-out radicals hereaway get D-n
| H and Kinkead mixed mp in their con-
versations Just now has almost led us to
believe that D-n HI Kinkead must be
/ his full name.
A curious incident occurred at Alsip's S
new saw mill m Bedford county, short
time ago. As large cucumber log WAS
being sawed through the centre. the saw
struck small chain that was i'll the heart
of the log. The chain was four or five
inches long and had staple attached to IT.
The log was about eighteen feet long and
twenty five or thirty inches in diameter.
1t was on the farm of Mr.. Nathan Lee, OF
Bedford township.
Mrs. Hettie Johnston, of West Hun
tingdon, one day last week, says tho Jour
nal, placed aima.s of taffy in the lower part
of her stove to warm, and went away III
the meantime some one notlceQ that IL
was getting boiling hot, and removed it to
a table Mrs. Johnston coming in and
thinking it was only slightly hot run her
both hands into it to work it, and was
verely burned. The taffy adhered to her
hands, and she had just more than
sweet time of it."
-BetteHkeep Lent than borrowed, and
while you are trying to keep 1t don tsfor-
get that Lloyd & Myers have as good
mackerel, Goldfish and other specimens of
the finny tribe rs ever swan a swum. a
No. l mackerel, fair, fat, and we had al
most said forty, are sold by them at 16
cents per pound which is a great deal
cheaper than Is per cent. or any other man
is selling them at. OvcrcOats, which will
keep you as dry as salt fish ever did, can
now be bought from NJ. & l.. at first cost.

Goshen township, Cleariield county, was
frozen to death under the following cir
CumStances On Friday, January Both,
he had gone to Mr.. r. S. Stewards store,
in Girard township, where he purchased
some goods. and then started toward Mr..
Hite's, in the latter township. The reHt
day, Saturday, 3lst, he was found sitting
on the side of the road the hill near
MIR. Hites, hfeless. 1t is supposed that,
becoming tired, he sat down to rest, and
persisted from the cold.
Our artist friend, T. I. Spence, is not a
b IrQOmaster. if he did come out master o
Berg, a brother republican of the straight
out persuasion. in the contest between the
regulars and the ModOcs for the office Of
inspector of elections for the West Ward.
Still. Spence don't take any special pride
in his triumph, but continues to take pho
tOgraphs and other gems of that descrip-
tioD with as much JUNCTION and ut as low
rates as if he waR the vanquished instead
of the victor. So go and see the new in
specror, and after XOu are done inspecting
his specimen pictures, his frames. albums,
and sch like, get your photo. taken and
then-buy something.
Bedford county may now hide its fdi-
minished head on the haunted bridge
question, for Cambria can trot cut whole
coal mine that is filled with ''spOoks" of
tho most approved reputation. The mine
referred to is in Barr township and is at
present operated by Mr.. Henry Kirsch,
who assures us that sounds resembling at
times those made by a miner at work and
at others seeming for all the world like the
noises that would be produced by driving
q team and wagon through the mine, have
been heard at various times and by sever
al persons who are not at all prone to su-
persttiou. People curious in such mat
ters are invited to visit the mine and, if
possible unravel the mystery. Won't
interview the ''spooks" and let
us have the result?
