The Altoona Tribune saws that Marion

county, made two consecutive strings of
twenty shots each, on SATURDAY. last which
measured thirty and thirty-siX inches re-
SpcctIYely, and that he perforated the paper
twenty-four times out of the forty shots.

The sleighng party from this place to
the Summit, on Friday night last, and the
ball at the Summit House which followed
are said To have been all that tne most en-
thUSiaStiC lovers of such amuSementS could

The Johnstown TOice SAYS that freight
brakeman on the middle division, Pa. r.. r.,
named Ward, was seriously scalded at Son
man STATION, on Saturday evening last in
consequence of the blowing out of u plug in
rhc furnace of an engine upon which he was
at the moment warming himself, thereby
causing his person to he delUged with scald-
ing water thrown from the boiler. The
same paper also informs us that his own
train lying over siding, but how
train could he on the middle division and at
Sonman station at one and the same time it
fails TO explain.
"A labOring man named Patrick O'Con-
nor, formerly a resident of Washington
township, near Summitville, and n subscri-
Der TO the FREEMAN, was knocked from
cinder dump at Altoona on Tuesday after
noon last and falling on the track, one of
the driving wheels of an engine passed over
his right hand, masking the bones and flesh
into a Shapeless mass. Several of his ribs
were also broken and his head and legs
somewhat bruised. Had not the engine been
promptly stopped he would doubtless have
been torn TO pieces The unfortunate man
has our sincere sympathies in his sad mis-
fortune.
Aside from those better feelings which
prompt tho human heart on such occasions
there were many reasons why our people
should, as they did, pay marked respect to
the mortal remains of Mrs TcllO, whose
death in our midst is noticed at some length
in another column. Her stay amongst us
was brief, il is true, but even in that short
space of time she impressed all with her
lady-like department and her unasaumlng
piety, as well with the Kindness and be-
nevolence of her true womanly heart. add
10 this the love and respect which all bear
for her only daughter, the accomplished and
devout Mother HOrtenSe, and IL will be
readily imagined that our people, though
strangers to the deceased lady, would not
have been true to themselves if they had
been less expressive in their respect for one
who lived a truly Christian life and died a
truly Christian death. The prayer of all
who believe as she believed is that she has
found eternal rest.
