Many denizens having their domicils

yelling, profanity and boisterous mirth in
dulged in by party of raftmen homeward
bound being much akin to what religion
teaches us about the condition of society IN
! the lower regions
The special election on Saturday in this
borough for and against water works re-
suited in very decided victory for the
proposed improvement, the vote standing
14e for to IS agaipst--the East Ward which
was supposed to be almost unanimously OPP
posed to the movement, giving a majority
of % in favor of it. Wafer works may
therefore be set down as a fixed fact, SO far
as voting can aid in securing them.
The cellar wall of the new dwelling
house of J. Mills, on Julian street, is now
| almost complete, and therein consists the
difference between the cellar wall referred
to and the superb goods in stock at e. j.
Mills mercantile mart down street.-the
wall being nearly and the stock entirely
complete, as well as varied and cheap, CON-
prising as it does everything that first
class store in this region usually contains.
There is little in the weather of to-day
to encourage any one to fly around and break
things in the effort to buy Spring and Sum-
mer goods, but it is csnsoing to think that
! this kind of weather can't last always, and
when the let-up does come, it is equally
consoling to know that Myers & Lloyd will
have Spring stock of dry goods, dress
( goods, and all other goods that cannot fail
I to please the tastes, meet the wants, and
suit the pocket books eff all our people.
Hon. A. A. Barker returned home Tues
day last, after a somewhat protracted visit
| TO Florida and feels himself decidedly i'm
! proved in physical if not political point
of view He carried with him IN his going
218 pouuds of avoirdupois, and brought
/ lack 232 pounds of the same commodity
a fact which we ncte with pleasure, as Mr..
! Parker is one of our most useful, energetic
/ and honorable citizens, aud the more of
! him. even to the extent of fourteen pounds,
! the better.
Two men alighted from their horses in
! Jackson township, on Monday evening last,
! and went TO chewing each other up, rs it
were, but finally called quits, after one of
them had lost goodly portion of his right
| ear, the other being left-whole. The fight
! over they sat down on tho side of the road
/ and became as good friends ever, over
/ pint of whisky; after which they once more
! mounted their horses and rode away, mu-
! tuaIlv pleased with the result of the little
unpleasantuess.
We learn from gentleman who heard
another party say that one of his ueighbors
! had been told that the announcement was
| alleged to have been made in the columns
! of an Eastern paper to the effect that, in
! the event Of the nomi nation and election of
! Mr.. Strang rs State Treasurer the position
! of Cashier would he rendered to a certain
| gentleman named Samuel Henry, whom, it
| will be remembered Cambria county so far
| forgot itself, some years ago, as to send to
the Legislature on one or two occasions.
The Republican County Committee con-
vened at the Couro House in this place
Tuesday last, and selected Jacob NJ. Camp
J bell, of Johnstown, and c. I. Roberts, of
this place, as Representative Delegates to
! the State Convention, and Hon. Samuel
Henry as Senatorial Delegate. The dele
gates were instructed to support Governor
! Hartrauft for denomination, and Hon. b. b.
| Strang for State Treasurer. Apropos of the
! latter, we are led to remark that the Cam
| bria county Republicans are evidently pre-
! pairing to be Strang-led politically.

In the 'rhuburbs' of Summitville amp
fronting on that portion of the turnpike
which leads from Cresson to the goodly viii
lage named above, Mr. Lube Burgoou has
recently erected a large aud substantial
frame building, for which he has obtained
a license, and III which he proposes TO ac-

day evening last, each arrayed in the habil-
