father. The heaviest child, Sarah weighs
23s pounds, the next, John, OFT, the third,
Jacob, 2o2. the fourth, Mosey, 1877, and the
last and youngest, girl only IA years of
age. 135 pounds. Heavy weights, truly.
The close of the Beecher trial is an
event beyond the ken of man to determine
but the clothes on exhibition and sale at the
renowned Star Clothing Hall, 100 Clinton
street, Johnstown, needs no determination
except the determination of everybody to
pitch in and buy whatever they want, and
that is determination easily arrived at by
any one who examines Murphy's superb
stock and learus the modera,e'prices at which
he disposes of his goods
The dwelling house of Mr.. Patrick Reil-
ly, near Portage, this county, was destroyed
by fire Wednesday about noon, involving a
! loss in the building and household property of
not less than 81 900, on which we believe
! there was no insurance. The fire originated
from stove pipe running through the roof
1t of course has connection with the mat
ter in hand, but it may not be out of place
to say that Mr. Reilly is an uncle of our
Congressman elect, Hon. John Reilly
AS if we had not enough of that kind of
81
town Democrat with the assurance that Nc.
Pike "has served the Democracy of Cam
bria long and faithfully, and a recognition
of his services by the many great and good
men who annually attend our county con-
ventions would not be out of place But
then you know those printer men will s'say
their say" and if they didn't have us to
talk about somebody else would have to
stand the pressure.
The discontinuance Of the Altoona Daily
Tribune has of necessity resulted in the re-
tirement from active service of our much es-
teemed friend, Cal. Hackett, one of The best
local editors that ever welded peu. That
he will not long remain unemployed is a
foregone conclusion, for while brains and
the ability 10 use them are in demand the
possessor of such a comm odity as Hackett
undoubtedly is, need not hide his light for
aay length of time under half bushel, or a
whole one either, for that matter.
Joe Durborrow, editor of the Hunting
don Jo0Tnal, has beer sued for libel by
conductor on the Huntingdon and Broad
Top railroad, the cause of action, which has
been brought in Bedford county, being some
thing sa i'll about a coat which the aforesaid
conductor deems derogatory TO his charac-
ters. This thing of suing editors for libel is
becoming somewhat monotonous, but, like
nearly all who have preceded him, we have
no fears for the final deiverence of Joseph
from the perils which seem to environ him.
Not a matter of local re VS., but
because our editorial page is full up, we
note here the acceptance by the President
n
and the appointment of Hon. Edward s.
Pierrepoint, OF New York, to fill the
vacaucy-an appoin tment which has been
accepted by that gentleman. We also
notice the promotion of Maj. Robert Nc
Feely, native of Carlisle, Pa, aud brother
ih-law of our townsman, John s. Rhey,
EsI., 20 the position of Commis,ary General
Of Subsistence, rice Col Shiras, deceased.
We looked in on S. J. Hess & Bro. PAL
and 2i3 Main street, Johustown, on Satur-
day last, and not only found coats to the
right of them, pants to the left of them, and
vests to the rear OF them, all in endless pro-
fusion, but also found several customers in
front of them, to whom they were dispens
ing the most stylish clothing, we'll made
and of reliable textures, at the lowest figures
at which good goods can possibly be sold.
The Messrs. Hess have now in store an
ample stock of masculine wearing apparel
for the..Spring trade, and we ar. sure that
bargains await all who call on them to buy.
Our next door neighbor, John D. Thorn !
As, who has a reputation second to no man |
In the land for manufacturing neat-fttiug
boots that will stand the wear and tear of
long usage. has just received the finest in /
voice of French calfskins, direct from Phila- !
delphia, that has ever been brought to the [
mountain county; and his customers, whose I
name is legion, will never Ina ye a better op-
nortunity than at present for leaving their
measures and securing foot coverings for /.
the Spring season that cannot fail to give I
perfect satisfaction in style, material, man.
ufacture and price. So pitch in without fur }
ther ceremony.
"A crowd of gay and festive youths as /
sembied in saloon a. Summitville on Tues !
day evening last for the purpose of inaugu-
rating regular built "jamboree," but had (
scarcely got the old thing in running order /
when their pater tdn,ilias swooped down up
ON them like wolves upon the fold and scat
tered them to the four winds of heaven. from
whence they have as ye. failed to return to
their respective roof-trees, so TO speak The
keeper of the saloon, who in the meantime
got up a lively skirmish with his wife, has
also stepped down and out, and now Sum-
mitville tallies five less of population than
Il did before these startling events occurred
of course, if we had seen it in time we
would never have permitted the appearance
IN these columns of such shock to our well 4
known modesty as is contained in the fol-
owing excerpt from :he current number of
he Huntingdon Journal. AS it has, how
sver, slipped in without our knowledge, we
IAN only say that Brother Durborrow has
our sincere thanks for the kindly words
spoken: "McPike, of the Cambria Freeman,
IS again candidate for the office of Trea-
'urer, and we know of no Democrat, the
vide world over, more deserving of the
