"A Holiiiaysburg attorney of long stand

IeSIeu on MonUay last and required to give
bail for his appearance ut Court TO answer

making Improper advances towards her
we never before heard of such an offence
helng imputed to the attorney in question
bnt II guilty we advise him 10 toe the Broth
crime more faithfully in the future and keep
hahds on the "s'sterp' for all time to come.
"A SOmerSet county woman hanged her

buried 1t in the place which she had selected
previous 10 her death. And now the super
siitious, who fear to see her "spook'' for
three hundred years, and " who form n ma

notified the man in charge of the cemetery
to remove the body inside of ten days, or
abide the consequences.

the future il will certainly he no fault of Mr.

Mr.. j. II. Moore. the well known and long
travelled notion pediar, who recently pre-

profession. Mr.. Kaufman, il is proper to
ot vim, enterprise and perseverance, and as
he carries a large stock and is disposed to q o
business on an honest and fair basis we
hope 10 see him literally encouraged. as
much for his youth for his energy and
pluck.
The proceedings in bankruptcy I'm the
L. 5. District Court at Pitishurgh against
VIM. NJ. Lloyd, of Altoona, have Slum bered
so long that most persons in this county, not
of course including his creditors, have for
gotten that they We're ever commenced.
When the case ~ill have an end no man liv-
ing can even guess. much less determine.
The latest phase it assumed was on Tursda V
last, when certain creditors of LlOVd filed a
bill in equity against Maxwell Kiukaid

setting forth an alleged Illegal transfer of
property by the latter to the former and ask
ing for an injunction against kinlaid to
prevent him from selling, transferring or in
any way euCumbcring said property.
A report reaches us though we cannot
VOuoh for its accuracy, that an old farmer
i'll IUdiana county, not far fl ON the Cambria
county line, was called upon 10y a couple Ot
sharpers the oth.r day, who represented
I themselves as L. s. detectives in search of
counterfeit coin, and demanded 20 see his
money. This very modest request not be-
ing complied with, the pretended officers,
who evidently knew where the old gpRI le-
man kept his cash. proceeded TO pull n ven-
cradle trunk from ont OF lis hiding place
under one of the beds. and after un locking
or forcing il open, cuntiSCated the entire
contents consisting of some seven hundred
dollars in gold. after which they mounted
their horses and sped awav on the wings OF
the wind, so to speak. The story looks
somewhat atteuuated, we confess. but deem
ing it possible not To say probable give
