is proper to say that Mr.. Burkey is prepared
to make, fresh and repair rifles and other
shooting irons on short notice, at the lowest
rates, and will guarantee perfect satisfaction
in all cases. Give him call if you need
work in his line.
No man or youth need permit the holi-
days to overtake him with shabby clothes
upon his back, now that Myers & Lloyd
have just received the largest aud finest
stock of clothing ever brought to Ebensburg.
The same may be said of the ladies', for a
splendid assortment of dress goods of various
grades are also among the recent openings
ut that popular mercantile mart. Myers &
Lloyd sell strictly for cash, and that's the
reason why they sell SO awful cheap.

Capt. John Porter of this place has en-
barked in the hotel business in Greensburg,
having recently assumed control of the Cain
House there, ia the management of which he
has secured the aid of still another of our
townsmen Mr.. Z. II. Moore as clerk, and
under their united guidance it is fair TO pre-

1t is somewhat out of season, we know,
but having just heard i: we could not tell our
readers any sooner that young friend J.
G. Scanlan, of Allegheny township, accom-
plished the really remarkable feat last ha--
vest of cutting five acres, one hundred
and two dozen, of oats in 81 hours, and also
cradled one hundred and seven dozen of
wheat In seven hours, of which latter seven
teen dozen and seven sheafs were cut in
forty-five minutes. All this too without the
aid of any other implement than n common
grain cradle. Who can do better, and when
do they propose to do 1T 4?

We were very much gratified to see that
able and eloquent Democrat, Robert NJ.
Gibson, of Pittsburgh, in town on Wednes-
day. He was on professional business in
-eference to the criminal proceedings against
James B. Zahrsa. notice of whose case and
its conclusion is elsewhere to be found. We
only desire to say that Mr.. Gibson's appear
ance here perfect stranger to the people
eff Cambria county, and with his well known
State reputation, was calculated to attract
towards him more than the usual attention
His colleague, G.. r. NJ. Smith, Esq, of
Pittsburgh, ably and eloquently assisted Mr..
Gibson in Lis professional business before the
Court.
Mrs. Eveline Johnston and Mrs John
F.. Scaulan, wife and daughter of r. L.
Johnston, Esq, of this place, are both seri-
ously iHiisposed as we go to press. The
illness of Mrs. Johnston has been of long
duration and is of such a nature as to leave
but sligh. hopes for her ultimate recovery.
In the case of Mrs. Scanlau there is every
reason to hope for her early convalescence,
although on Wednesday night her condition
was by no means encouraging. That these
two estimable ladies may soon be restored to
perfect health is certainly the wish and
prayer of all who know them and in know
ing them esteem them highly.
The fair on behalf ct Iiie Catholic church
e,lifce in this place, on which there is con-
siderable debt still due, is now in the full
tide of successful operation, considering the
tightness of the times, and is really one of
the finest displays of fancy articles ever ex-
hibited in this place, and one which does in
finite credit to the ladies in charge. Oysters
and othar refreshments are also served up
at all hours of the day and evening. The
fair will remain open during the present and
coming week and will then be closed until
the holidays, when it will be inaugurated on
a grander scale than ever. We hope tina the
friends of the cause will sustain the enter
prise to the best of their ability.
