The Hollidaysburg Standard SAYS that
a western husband aud wife who uuarrciea
aud 81 para;sd AoIue three years go, and had
never seen each other since, accidentally
enc ouutered each other a. the Altoona depot
un "Wednesday. Both were hound to the
Centennial Exposition and they concluded
10 let bygones be bygones and interview the
show together. All which was worthy OF
comnI~idation, but we hope the reconciicd
husband had the good sense to call on God
frey W Off and treat himselfto a bran splin-
ter new suit OF clothing before taking his
departure from Altoona. His happiness was
complete if he did, for after making up with
and kissing hin wife, there as nothing thar
n!akcs a man think more of himself than a

Gu the night of the 18th of February

MT. Heury Anderson, watchmau at Hawes'
cement mill, JohustUwn, shot aud killed n
young maH named Kirby, whom he ois-
covered on the roof of the mill and whom he
evidently nistOok for some iuterloper who

fact, Daniel Kirby, brother nj the deceased,

young l. TGy has twice cssayrd TO take
a nder.on'~ life, the IL eHt of Which attempts
WAS made about y clock on Friday morning
