sure that every one in the community will

Life should be full of earnest work
our hearts undashed by fortunes frown
let perseverance conquer fate, and merit
seize the victor s crown; but while ambition 8
goal is sought, it should be borne in mind
by all, that the cheapest "duds' that e'er
were bought are sold at Murphy's Clothing
Hall, 1O9 Clinton street, Johnstown.
The military organization talked of in
Johnstown is taking the shape of an artillery
company. AZ least there is an effort being

-Chas. Stahler, native of Holland, aged
about 35 years, was injured SO badly at the
east end of the Galltzin tunnel, on Monday
morning last, by being struck by the Pitts
burgh Express west, that he will probably
die. He was a wayfaring man, and was of
course walking on the track when he met
his terrible fate. He has been taken to the
Blair county poor house for treatment

some ef the poison into the wound, and the

The Everlasting Dress Protector" i'm
proved, which can I've bought nowhere else
in Ebensburg shan at NJ. l.. Oatman's, has
tire advantage of being water r-proof, noiseless
and light in weight; can be rubbed off when
soiled, and being pliable, can be gathered to
fit the shape of any garment. As dress
protector it is unsurpassed, and next to
personal protector in shape of a good hus-
band, it is well worthy of feminine favor.
Don't let your angry passions rise be-
cause your neighbors advertise, and there
by drive away dull times; bnt boldly do like
Hess & Brother, who kindly tell and show
all other men how they can save their dimes
by giving them business call at their great
clothing mart, Oak Hall, where prices low
and clothing neat are sure the wants of all
to meet. 241 and 2I3 Main street, Johns.

A lad named Michael Barry, while bath
ing in the COnemaugh river at Lower Miners
Vile, on Wednesday afternoon last, ven
tured beyond his depth and was carried
down by the current, and had it not been
for the prompt aid rendered by man work
ing in the vicinity, he would undou btedly
have been drowned. AS it was, more than
half an hours rubbing was found necessary
to bring him back to consciousness.
e. Il. McCrum, Esq, senior editor of
the Altoona Tribune, disposed of his interest
in that money-making establishment, on
Saturday last, to his late partner, II. C.
Dern, Esq, and designs to make Colorado
his future home. The price paid we did not
learn, but the price asked was $4,000 AS
the outgoing and instaying proprietors are
both thorough gentlemen, they have our
sincere wishes for their long g-continued pros
per:ty.
Death has deprived Wilmore of one of
its best citizens in the person of Mr.. Samuel
Kephart, who died of consumption on Satur-
day morning last, aged about 80 years. No
man In the county enjoyed more fully or
deserved more freely the confidence and
esteem of everybody than did Mr.. Kephart
and now that lie has passed away there are
none, we are confident, who will not be
sincerely sorry that one so worthy of long
life has been consigned 20 so early grave.

Some Iniscreants entered the house of
Geo. Johns at Blairsville, on Friday night
last, during the absence of the family, and
after carrying all the clothing down stairs,
set fire to the carpet, much of which, besides
n fine bureau, several chairs and a few pic
lures, were consumed, and yet we told
that the bed in the room was not burned, Al
though the heat broke n number of window
panes, and that the fire eventually died out
for want of material TO work on. All which
may be true, but we would almost as soon
believe q good lie.
Scalp Level, this county, is said TO have
q "spook' which makes sweeping noise at
nidn ght along the partition of the domicil
it patronizes, and as IL is believed to be the
spirit of a woman who was murdered (?)
there some years ago, the presumption is
hat she is still following the bent of her in
elination in the house-cleaning line. In
.hese days, remarks Easily of the Tribune,
.hc matter of ''spooks" is laughed at, and
when good opportunity is offered to see one
he same should be embraced at once. Con-
