i,ody OF Samuel Beighley, the Westmoreland
county murderer, was inferred at the dead
/ Of night, and that too at a spot unknown TO
ali bnt the father of the executed criminal.
We learn from our good old friend, Mr..
John Carney, of Munster township. that a
log dwelling house, known rs the Dowhey
property, located in said township, was
burned to the ground on "Wednesday last,
! but how the Fl re originated or the extent of
| the loss he was not able to ascertain. The
| building was owned by Mr.. John O'Hara
| and occupied by Mr.. Thomas Roop.
! "A Gallitzin correspondent writes TO say
! that the s, SEQ pound load mentioned by MS
! last week las been outdone by Mr.. Joseph
/ Dodson of Clearfield township, who recent
! ly hauled 6 coo pounds of coal from the Ash-
/ land coal bank with two horses, and is will
/ ing to bet 500 that he can go 900 pounds
better with the roads in good shedding eou-
dition. How's that for hefty haul?
/ The Clearfield Roftsman's Journal says:
! ''Our Pennsylvania lumhermen have at
least some little hope for an increase in the
! spring trade in the fact that there has been
an advance in the freight on Western lum-
ber which went into effect on January 4th.
! IT is hardly probable that the Michigan deal
ers can now ship their lumber into Penn
sylvania by rail at lower figure than our
! own dealers can furnish it"
| -Messrs. Albert Roslet and Jacob Luther,
| of Carroll tow pship, have seen Mr.. d. A.
| Lu her on the lumber hauling question and
! went some thousand of feet better, the first
named having brought to town yesterday
| 342O feet of pine lumber and the latter 81
323 feet of poplar, each employing a pair of
/ horses in the transportation of their respec-
! tive loads, which they hauled a distance of
! ten miles. Who can beat Boslet that's
| the question
"A large side lamp at the Mountain
/ House saloon caught fire yesterday evening
! while the bar-keeper was at supper, and so
! great was the flame produced that il gave
rise to general alarm of fire, the ringing
| of the fire bell, and a general stampede of
Il
burning building. In the meantime severa.
/ parties near at hand broke in the door of the
/ saloon and succe, ded in suppressing the
I flames before any serious damage was done.
Eugene McFadden, son of that well
! known gentleman. Mr.. S. =. McFaddeu, and
I Moore Isett, two Holidaysburg lads,
! severely injured, on Saturday evening last,
! in consequence of the sled upon which they
| were coasting coming in Coutact with n COW,
causing the bovine to fall upon them. They
| will both recover. boy named Willie
Carr, of the same place, had one of his ears
badly demoralized by being run over by
sled about the same time.
"A Young man named George Adams,
J whose home is in Clearfield, and who was
! employed as f1agnan on freight train,
attempted to jump from the rear car near
! HoutZdale, on Tuesday morning last for the
| purpose of closing n switch, when his over
| coat caught in some manner and jerked him
! under the car, two wheels of the last truck
| OF which passed over his body above the
! waist and injured him so terribly that he
| died almost instantly. He leaves q wife
! and feu- children.
! Through the kindness of our Young
! friend Bob Thompson he of mail celebrity
! and female proclivitics, we have been made
. the recipient of several ''conplimentarIes''
! to the concert of the Ebensburg Silver Cor
! net Band, which is to come off at the Court
! House this evening, and which we hope will
prove perfect ovation as TO the number in
| attendance. The concert will be enjoy

! -Coasting, otherwise known rs sledding
an amusement in which boys of every age
and of all sections in which snow prevails
! freely indulge, is a rather dangerous pas
| time, as TWO lads named Tesh and Gibson
| residents respectively of Johnstown and
! Millville borough, have just found out to
| their sorrow. The former had leg aud
! arm fractured and his jaw dislcca:ed and
! the latter ran against an open gate and broke
| his nose and knocked one of his shoulder
blades out of place, besides receiving other
! severe contusions.
