The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1875-08-20

A citizen of Blacklick township found
on his return home from this place, on Tues
day lasr, that his pocket-book, containing
seven dollars and few cents had turned
up missing, but whether he lost it in Ebeus-
burg on his way home he is not able 10
say. If it has been found and is in honest
hands, the finder will be suitably rewarded
by leaving it at this office.
John Wilson, the man now under lock
and key at Castle Baumer, in this place, for
being implicated in the burglary of Mr..
Helpless jewelry store in Johnstown, on
Tuesday morning of last week, IL believed
TO be the same john Wilson alias California
Jack, who with two others succeeded, some
eight years ago, in robbing the County Ma
tional Bank of Clearfield of 2O,OOO-for
which crime he and his confedcrateS were
subsequently arrested, but by turning States
evidence Wilson succeeded in escaping pun
ishment,
Having some two weeks ago inadver-
tastly spoken of the editor of the Altoona
Tribune ''H. Clay Dean" that gentle
man intimates in his last issue that even the
quincy won't save us if we should happen to
fall in Ito his hands. a terribly threat surely,
considering :he ability CD of Dern to do
what he threatens, but hardly bad we
ween as the fate that will certainly overtake
us should II. Clay Dean himself, who has
really the only just cause for feeling offended,
find out that we took his name III vain-pro-
yided of course that Dean, like Dern, is q
great strapping big fellow.
Although we have seen no notice of the
fact in any of the papers published III that
place, il is none the less true that child
was recently born fin the borough of Indiana
with its heart on the outside OF its breast, in
plain view of all behoiders, and without any
covering upon its stomach. At the time
the story reached this place, where it was
told by a medical gentleman fully cogniZant
of the fact, the child was still living, or
at least had been the day previous, which
was the second day after its birth, but it
could not possibly survive in that abnormal
condition, it is fair to presume this singular
freak of nature is not now in existence.
We chronicle with unfeigned regret the
death of Thomas A Campbell, third son of
James F. Campbell Esq, editor of the Johns
town Voice and Echo, which sad event occur
red on Thursday, Aug. 18th, at the early
age Of II years, months and , days The
deceased was an exemplary, Intelligent and
much esteemed young man, and as com
positor he was quite proficient aud OF great
assistance to his father. His disease was in
ffamatory rheumatism, with which he had
been afflicted since last February and which
finally reached his heart aud resulted in his
death His remains were taken to the Cath
Ollie church, Johnstown, on Saturday, where
Mass for the rcpOse of his soul was Cele-
brated, and on the following day they were
conveyed to Altoona and Inferred beside
two of his sisters who sleep their last sleep
in ST. John = cemetery. May God grant him
eternal rest.
We publish elsewhere what purDorts to
he a true story of Old Portage railroad days,
taken FROM the JohnstOwn Tribune, but
which to our own certain knowledge, contains
several inaccuracies, unless indeed two cir
cumstances oflke character happened at the
time referred 10, which of course is not at all
probable. For instance, it is not true that
the welded pair have been gathered to the
native dust for many years" nor is 1t cor
rect that the parties thus singularly mated
reared a family, several of whom still reside
in the vicinity. Equally falacious is the
statement that the lady in question was the
ouly child of her parents who were in COM
Portable circumstances and that she in time
inherited all their wealth. The truth of the
matter is that the husband is still alive and
at present resides in one of the Western
States, that they have no children residing
in this county, and that tho woman, instead
of iuhcriting the property of her parents,
WAS for some reason cut off with single
dollar, pittance which war never laid claim
TO by either herself, her husband or any of
their children.
The announcement made few days ago
that WIN. NJ. Lloyd, Esq, of Altoona had
concluded to retire permanently from the
banking business and devote his entire at
tcntion to the settling up Of his financial al
fairs, caused n feeling of unoasiness in this
community in view of the fact that his
branch establishment here was also to he
closed, thus leading depositoIs TO imagine
that financial crisis was again to he pre-
cipitatrd upon MS. This feeling, however,
gradually Subsidcd. and in its place came
the belief or at least the hope that 30 far as
the Old dcpositOrS are concerned the suSpeu-
sion Of business would have n tendency to
make them more secure. IS to the
deposits there il nov little or 40 apprcEen-
sion Of danger felt as everything seems TO
point TO early and satisfactory adjustment
of all the new claims The sudden and
shocking death of the cashier of the bank
here, Hon. Samuel Henry, an account of
which we publish elsewhere, has created an
excitement and feeling of sincere regret
which has taken the place of all other
thoughts, and for the time being financial
matters have ceased 10 sXcite comment or
interest among our people.
