few nights ago TO set fire to one of the

reach it, the fire smouldered slowly until
the following morning, when it vas diScov-
cred and extinguished, after having hurGed
and charreSt the iDiSt very considerably. To
the facy That the air was totally excluded from

After a somewhat protracteti and eX-
cee0ingly tempestuous voyage on the sea of
literature, Prof. A. l.. Guss has ceased TO
control the editorial desIinies of the Hunt
ingdon Globe, his valedictory in last week s
issue of that paper occupying space of
nearly three columns. The Professor was a

writer, and when he went into political or
personal controversy 1t was always with a
determination TO see the thing through

G,.ard of this place and the Jefferson Guard
OF Wilmore part and parcel. met at the

Altoona and Johnstown were both in a
state of ferment for day or two on account
of the great railroad strike, but apart from
the fact that the Comrany'S employees in the
former place took peaceable possession for
the time being of the road and its equip
ments, stopped soldier trains, shut up the
railroad shops, and did few other things
out of the regular order, and that about if
teen hundred mill men and other citizens
assembled on Saturday evening near the iron
bridge aud railroad station at the latter
place, some of whom INDUCED in loud talk
about tearing down the bridge, no damage
was done if we except the fact that rail
road watchman at the curve opposite Cone
maugh borough vas Knocked down and had
his lamp broken.
The slaughter house of Mr.. Joseph Gut
wald in the West Ward, was entered hy
burglars, on Monday night last, and des-
poiled of fifteen or twenty shoulders of
smoked bacon, which were stored away in a
hogshead on the second floor, the thieve salsO
stealing quantity of oats AT the same time.
How an entrance was effected remains a
mystery, but the presumption is that after
trying all the doors, the evidence that they
had beep tampered with being plainly visi-
bile, the paddock on the front door was un-
locked and subsequently relocked before
the departure of the thieves, who left no
trace behind them to indicate who they
were or whence they came. MIR. Gutwald
who estimates his loss ut about forty dollars,
has little or no hope of recovering his prop
erty.
