-Messrs. Garman & Williams of this

"A young man named Samuel Bridges
OF Cambria borough, was accidentally shot
on Monday evening last, and the brobabilis
ties are that he will not recover. He was
walking dawn the Cambria side of the Con-
S''"sueh AiNc' Nueu u DulletS which had been
fred at a wild duck by young man on the
opposite shore glanced from the wafer and
entering his right side, between the third
and fourth riSs, evidently paused through
his right lung and finally lodged in his
chest, hear the spinal column The Johns
town tribune, from which we CLEAN the
above fncts, says that young Bridges was
shot IN the light hand eleven months ago By
ball from pistol accidentally discharged

The .JObpstown Tribune civ f1a
TO show that up to last Tuesday S5, O52
pounds of chestnuts had been shi pped from
the Rail Road station at that place to Pitts
snrIh, Chicago and other points. Estimat-
Ing the nuts at 80 pounds to the bushrl, the
amount shipped would be l. 900 bushels, with
fair prospect of being increased TO three
thousand bushels before the close Sr the STA
son. One storekeeper in Geistown, q neigh
ooring village, has sent away 500 bushels,
and expects to ship as many more. Joe
We.ser oft place, has shipped 16O bushels

I'VE learn fre,n our Chest township cor
respondent and take the liberty of giving
more prominence than His letter would ar.
ford TO .he fntt that Mr.. John We.tover's 3
hne residence, In SusGuehanna township,
was totally destroyed by Are on Sunday
morning last, and that everything it CON
tained, except few valuable papers and
some money, was corsuTed with tie build
ing. More than that, aud worse even than
that. MIR. Wsstover himself was very badly y
burned and Will in all probability lose both
of his eyes his face having beeh terribly
scorehed. The fire originated from a de:
fective hue, the primary cause If 30 niaEy
contiagrations, but what the loss amounts 10
or whether there was any insurance ON the
property we are not able to state.
The Hollidaysburg Standard says that a
little grandson of Mr.. Jonathan Stouffer, OF
thar place, fell into an abando oned we'll on
Thursday last, owing to the fact that the
hoards covering the opening had become
rotteu with age and broke under the child =
weight and after woman who witnessed
the mshap had tried IN vain to rescue the
little one, man and boy luckily appeared
npou the scene, when sorne OF the parties
present carght the boy by the legs and held
hiH head down in the we'll, thus enabling
him 20 seize the child ana draw it up, bat lit
tie the worse for it's sudden plunge and un-
comfortable bath. The escape was, lkowever,
very nsrrnw one, and the paper from
which quote thinks there is lesson Ia
the AL dveuture which even a blind man ong ght
to see,
