down and OUT without having accomplish

I Franklin said ''Tal<e care of the pennies,
and the dollars will take care of themselves :"
This is especially true in buying clothes.
You can spend great deal of money on
dress, and have none left to put in the
pockets; but by purchasing cheap, sub
stantial, yet elegant suit from Godfrey Wolf
Twelfth street, Altoona next door to post
office, you can have both clothes to wear and
money to spend. Try it once.
Our young mercantile friend over the
way has something now which possesses the
somewhat rare pecuiiarity of being not only
n little .StGhie-y, but is at the same time bran
: splinter-we had almost said spanking but
that will come after awhiie--new. 1t is of
the female persuasion, and of course the
prettiest one in town. Ladies are specially
invited TO call and examine John's new
goods and take z peep at the new baby. No
cards.
Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in
the streets of Askalou, but intimate il as
loudly as you have mind to throughout
the co.tines of Cambria county, to the citi-
zens thereof that the best place in Western
Pennsylvania to buy n tip-top suit of fash
iorable, well-made and serviceable clothing
for summer wear any other wear is at
JAS. j. Murplsy's Star Clothing Hall, IO9
Clinton street, .Johnstown. A splendid new
stock just received.
Prominent among the many welcome
visitors to our sanctum this week were Hon
G. L. Pershing, President Judge of the
SchHylkill district, and the coming man, we
hope, for Governor of Pennsylvania, and
his no less distinguished brother, although
in another sphere of life, Rev. !. c. Perish
ing, President of that we'll known, well con-
Quoted AMI well sustained educational in
slitutior, the Pittsburgh Female College
We are always glad 10 greet such worthy
gentlemen.
While attempting TO lead u fractious
IN orse attached to n covered wagon over the
Seventeenth street bridge, Altoona, at a very
early hour on Wednesday morning last,
Mr.. Thomas Kehoe, a gentleman whom we
we'll knew and much respected, was knocked
down and trampled upon by the frightened
animal, being afterwards run over by the
vehicle, and was 50 terribly injured that he
died soon after. The deceased was aged
about IS years and was one of the best citi-
zens Altoona ever possessed.
Owing To the fact that there was no
certainty that the use of the Court House
could he obtained during the sitting OF the
Court, ami also to the other fact tina. the
Jubilee will then I've in progress, Mr.. Frank
Comfy has concluded not TO give an enter
tainment i'll this place on Wednesday even
ing Of next week, as has heretofore been an
nounced, hut will probably be here in the
course of three or four weeks. when thos,.
who know the inimitable Comfy, and ap
preciate his irresistible comicali:ies, will no
doubt be on hand to give him "A hearty well
come.
Capt. j. X. Hite, of this place, showed
us day or two ago couple of natural Guri-
osities in the shape of hens eggs, 'he pro-
ducts of one, or il may he two, of his fiue
brood of chickens. Both eggs are remark
ably diminutive, scarcely indeed exceeding
in size that of common birds egg, while
from one of them extends crooked protu-
berauce, fully an inch long, looking for all
the world like the head and a portion of the
body of u well developed snake. These eggs
were found on different days, and the pre-
sumption is that they were both laid by the
the same hen.
A travelling mountebank or perhaps we
should say mOunt-a-rope, gave two enter
tainments in this place OH Wednesday and
Thursday evenings of this week, to full
houses, or rather full between the houses
the show having been held on the street, the
rope extending from the roof of the Noun
tain House to the roof ofthe Latterner House,
and :he entrance fee being paid hy pro-
mscuous collection in the crowd. The gym
mast performed several difficult feats on the
sIac&-rope with considerable agility, sach as
swinging himself off Ivy the feet, arms. neck,
teeth, etc, and evinced quite clearly that he
was no fool at the business.
We didn't send for Pat. Rod gers or Nick
FreidbofT TO come up here to electionecr, but
they came anyhow and did their level best no
doubt to advance their respective interests
in the direction of the county treasury, they
both being in the field, like our friends j.
~ Shoemaker, John Downey, and Jos.
Wertuer. as well our humble self, for the
Office of County Treasurer. Well they are
both very clever geutlemen--in fact we are
all clever gentlemen together-and if either
of them leads us in the race in a fair, open
contest, we shall not commit hair kair, AL
belt we make think it a little rough, after
serving the party as we have endeavored to
do for nearly ten years past, to he thus sum-
marily slaughtered for the second time in
the nouse of our friends.
MIR. VIM. L. Johnston, of the firm of
Finney & Johnston, the gentleman who
recently leased the we'll known Mellon mill
in Carroll township, tells us that he drove
-, 900, 900 feet of pine and hemlock timber
from the mouth of Chest creek 20 the mouth
of Clearteld creek, distance of f0rty miles,
on splash floods alone--a feat that has, per-
hans never before been accomplished i'll
the history of log driving. The same gen.
tlemau also informs us that he has erected
