early life followed the sea for several years
IL the possessor of a roamin' nose-that ia to
say, nose that has roaIned no less than four
times around the world with the worthy
own or thereof in,mediatelyin rear.
There are no less than two thousand
seven hundred and fifty languages in exist
ence and yet scarcely one of them affords a
word sufficiently expressive to do full Justice
TO The customers and superb stock of goods
now on exhibition ant; sold at the pop;ilar
cheap store of Godfrey Wolff next door to
pos-office Altoona, where better bargains
can be obtained than were ever trotted ont at
auction.
Mr. John Fl. Moore, of Altoona, so long
and favorably known as the matchless
match man, who for many years visited
all portions of this and neighborihg counties
with his peddling wagon, prepared at all
times to supply the merchants thereof with
a large variety of notions, etc, has rein-
quished his business and removed To Kansas,
Where we trust that long and prosperous
career awaits him.
1t Is sweet to remember the davs Of our
you h. wl.el mid the storms of Dccemb her
we froze fast to the truth; but sweeter by
far and more fully enjoyed are the facts as
tEey are about Myers & Lloyd whose stock
is complete and whose prices are low and
who sell everything neat at speed that's
not slow, and deal with their customers ftom
the very word go--there and buy your dry
goods and groceries.
The Courts of this county, unlike those
OF any other. we venture TO say, in the State
/ are presided over by three Jnhns-Hon j ohm
Dean, President Judge, and Hons John
Flanagan, and John u. Thomas, Associate
Judges. There is another john, too well
known, alas as demijohn, that furnishes
the greater part of the criminal business
which these other Johns are from time to
time called upon to take cogniZance OF.
On Tuesday afternoon of last week, a
| little child of Mr.. j. J. Davis, of West In
diana, was so shockingly burned 10y its
oil II
other inmates were temporarily absent from
! the house that its life is despaired Of. In its
| terror the unfortunate child rushed into the
street, where gentleman named klingen-
smith succeeded in extinguishng the flames
! after very severely burning his own hands
| in the effort.
Mr. John C. Burke, of Washington
| township, will offer at public SALE on Satur-
day of next week, commencing at o'clock,
/ p. M, n lot of personal property consisting
of one horse. one stallion one cow, wo hogs,
| one wagon, one buggy, farming utensils,
| household furniture, potatoes, etc. a lso NJ
| the same time, his farm OF 114 acres, with
! improvements, will he offered for sal e, but If
not disposed of will then he for rent. See
! posters for further particulars.
We learn by a letter received a few la vs.
! ago from Hou. James j. Thomas, one of the
members of Assembly from this county, that
| owing TO sickness he was unable to attend
| the sessions of the House for two weeks pre-
| vious to Monday, the 9th instant. This will
account for any apparent neglect on the part
of Mr.. Thomas in attending TO his official
duties. lie also informs that both him
| self and his colleague, Mr.. Downey, opposed
and voted against the PurGOn Digest swim
die. which, we need scarcely say, rebounds
| greatly to their credit.
| The Osceoia Rereille SAYS that while some
! men at Whitehead s. Co.'S colleries. on
! Goss Run, were ut work driving in mon
| key drift tho other day, they came upon an
almost perfectly petrited stump having
| three distinct roots. All portions of the
! stump had been entirely changed TO stone,
| except a small portion of the center, which
| still remained in its original state. This
| curiosity found between five and six
| feet below the surface, and beneath the smut
! through which the men were working, anG
! has we informed, been removed by MIR.

! On Friday evening last, while several
J parties were engaged In making their pur-
! chases at the meat market of Mr- Jos. Gut
/ wald in the basement of The Blair House u
| bullet suddenly crashed through one of the
| panes of glass in the front window, and after
! passing in unpleasant proximity, indeed
| within three or four inches, of Mr.. John Me
| Muilen's head, imbedded itself in the wall
| on the opposite side of the room. w hence
| the bullet came is a mystery, ont as no re-
| port of a pistol or gun was heard AT the time
| the presumption is that it was thrown from
! n gum sling and either by accident or design
! took the course already indicated. Who did
the mischief has not, we believe, and proba-
| bly, never will be found out.
| Two gentlemen from the north of the
| county visited The new jail ON "Wednesday
! last, and while there concluded To try how II
| would look to sport pair of handouts, and
! with this object in view each of them select
| ed set of '.jewelry' and inserting their
| wrists therein the lock closed with spring
| So far so good hut when our friends essay ed
/ to pct out of .he ornaments they found "a
! their great cnargin that no one about the
| Jail had key with which to unlock the
| bracelets, and the result was that they had
| to march all the way to the Court House anu
| into the Sheriff's office, n distance OF two
| squares before they could TIE relieved from
| their unpleasant predicament. We could
/ give ,he names of the two gentlemen bu,
| don't propose to do so, IA they no douot Ieei
! cheap enough about II as II is.
| The Johnstown DGily Tribune recently
| entered on the fifth year of its existence,
| with every prospect we hope for n long CON
| tinuance 1t is need less TO say that on pol1t-
| ical and not a few o:her questions the 1r'-
