Our friends King and Jones, of lightning
rod fame, have opened livery, feed and sale
stable in Johnstown, and if the gorgeous
"cut' at the head of their announcement in
local print means anything it means that
they have horses which can be ridden bare
back a la circus style. Be that as it may, we
trust that good luck will attend them i'm their
new venture.

The holidays are coming, the galddest
of the year, with their joyful greetings and
their ever pleasant chser, and the man W no

Mr.. George Zane, son Of our friend and
patron, Mr.. Redinger Zane, of East Cone
maugh, made n narrow escape from severe
injury if not from death on Saturday last
He was standing on board or plank on
the coal scaffold at that place, when the
board suddenly broke and let him fall to the
ground, distance of fully eighteen feet.
Strange to say, he sustained no worse inju-
ries than dislocated shoulder and o few
contusions about the body.
No man or youth need permit the holi-
kays TO overtake him with shabby clothes
upon his back, now that Myers & Lloyd
have just received the largest and finest
stock of clothing ever brought to Ebensburg.
The same may he said of the ladies, for
SPLENDID assortment of dress goods of various
grades also among the recent openings
at that popular mercantile mart. Myers &

reason why they sell SO awful cheap.

BILE knickknacks. They have also received
a fresh invoice of drugs of various kinds,
which will be found specially useful after
tho holidays in reconstruc:ing rhe ply steal
systems of those who have gorged them
selves to more than repleton with the
good things of life.
We would have been glad if the oppor-
tunity had been afforded us TO chronicle the
election of our friend n. f. Carroll, of Sail

but inasmuch as he was defeated by only
seventeen votes in Il strong Republican coun-
ty, he has good reason to be proud of the
run lie made. Mr.. Carroll is Johnstown
boy, and is we'll known to many of our
readers, having been im the mercantile
business for a number of years in his native
place. as we'll as in Altoona

With sincere regret we announce the
death of the wife and one child of our whi-
lom friend and associate of JolInstown Echo
fame, X Emmet Smith, eldest son of Capt.
G. Nelson Smith, which sad events occurred
at the residence of HAT gentleman in George
town, ID. c.. on the 2.th and 28th of Novcm-
ber, respectively. We knew Mrs. Smith in
her girlhood and early welded days as an
amiabie, kind hearted and aflectionate lady,
and now that she has been called from time
to eternity, we cannot but hope that her inn
mortal spirit has met with a favorable judg-
ment.
