The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1875-03-05

The head of the grounding that saw his
shadow on Candlemas day is exceedingly
level, as we have had Ave weeks of wintry
weather since that date, and :here is plenty
more in prospect unless all sigus fail.
On Tuesday evening, after protracted
Illness, Mrs. Mary Jane Lowman, wife of
DIR. John Lowu:an, departed this life at her
place of abode in Youngstown. She was a
daughter of Johnston Moore, Esq. of this
town, and was lady highly esteemed by
all who enjoyed her acquaintanceship. Her
age was about ii years. The remains will
be brought here per special train on Sunday
next, and Inferred in Lloyd cemetery.
oh, the snow, the beautiful snow how
we heartily wish that it all would go, and
leave us alone our way TO pursue without
frozen feet and skin turned bue for surely
just now Ills mighty mean thing for Win
ter to ohtrude on the rights of fair Spring,
and especially so when Myers & Lloyd are
patiently waiting to sec people o'erjoyed
with the bargains in goods so varied and gay
which for the Spring trade they'll have in
e.idless array.
1t may be of interest to some of our
readers to kI ow that two of the inmates of
the Western Penitentiary, who resided in
Bugtown, and were sentenced by Judge
Dean fo= crimes of which they were con-
victed several mo nths ago, will arrive home
about the first of next month, by reason of
their terms of imprisonment expiring A
third Cne, from the same locality, aud cor,-
yicted at the same time, died in that institu-
tion few months ago.
Como to us Sprng-beautiful Spring.
We are weary of ice ard suow. Fold us
within thy odorous wing; over us perfume
of May apple flow. This poetical sentiment
suggests the remark that Hess q Bro, 2i1
and 243 Main street, Johnstown, taking
time by the forclock, are already engaged
lying in an extensive and elegant stock of
ready-madc clothing suitable for Spring
wear Their price list. when made out will
astonish one and all Ivy the lcwness Of the
figures it will contain.

are among the most respected and wortlies
citizens that our county contains.
