SATURDAYS SOCTABLE.-That the pic
mic in aid of the Church of the Holy Name
in this place would have been a grand affair
had the weather proved propitious there is
no reason to doubt, and even as il was
thanks to f. A. Shoemaker, Esq, and his
estimable lady, who kindly threw open the
doors of Belmont and permitted the pleas
rre seekers to take possession for the time
heing, il proved a most enjoyable and really
unex xpected success II was participated in
by many ladies and gentlemen OF this and
other localities, even Altoona sending a
very respectable delegation, which would
have been largely increased had not the
covering clouds Of the morning bespoke
wet day and very naturally suggested \
damper upon the festivities. Excellent
music WIS furnished by the Carro,ltown and
Ebenshurg cornet bands. both of which or.
ganiZations deserve the sincere thanks of
all concerned for their welcome and enjoy
able efforts aud the dancing music was un.x-
celledby any we have ever listened TO in this
place. OF the other features of the festivity
we need make ne special mention, except
TO say that the dinner and supper served up
on ;he occasion were such in variety and
extent as We have seldom if ever seen equaIl-
ed at any picnic outside of Ebeusburg, and
the universal sentiment of all who parrook
of the gOo,l things was that they had never
sat down to more sumptuous feaSts
greater abundance of rich etihles. To the
willing hands which prepared the meals
and TO the generous people who furnished
the necessaries as well as the luxuries too
much praise cannot he awarded They GER
:ainly deserve great credit for the liberaiity
and skill displayed in the quantity aud quail
ity OF the fare served up. What the p"cnn-
iary result of the picnic was we are unable
to say, all TO whom dinner tickets
furnished for sale not having vet r. ported,
but considering all things feel confident
that in this respect it exceeded the expecta-
tions of the most sanguine friends of the

The Slanderer.

Last Saturday Mr.. Addison Barber went to HaiDes'
shop to buy pair of shoes. He paid for them.
ia king the money out of the wallet containing some
twenty dollars in bills little fractional currency,
and piece of rare coinage of ancient date. After
which he thrust, as he thought, the wallet IN his
pocket Then he went straight home ana upon
arriving there found his pocketbOok missing lie re-
turned at to tho place where he used 1t last
but in vain the wallet and contents had not been
seen, aud could not be found.
The above was published in the Advocate
last week. The cause of IFS publication in
the shape it is is that some time ago young
man. Mr.. George Breed, then IN the employ
Of MIR. Reifsteck, wanted to do some trading
with me. and M. Reifsteck, instead of giving
him The money told me to ct him have what
he wanted and he (Reifsteck) would
nav for it. Afterwards when the bill was
presented Mr.. Reifsteck refused to pay part
of it, saying that Mr.. Breed was gone and
had only accounted to him for part OF the bill.
AS he persisted IN the refusal lett him, say
ing that If he didn't pay the whole OF the bill
| would sue him before night. In a short
time he called and agreed to settle Tor the
whole amount. Mr.. Breed afterwards told me
thatif Mr.. Reifsteck said he Breed)had not &C
counted TO him for the whole of that bill he
lied then, on settling, told Mr.. ReIfsteck
that | wanted no further dealings with such
man, and withdrew my advertising and other
patronage.
As to the loss of the money: Mr.. Barber
was still in my store when went with Gus
toner to the back room to do some welk.
Mr.. Barber went out, went home, and was
back looking for his money before | had gone
back TO the store room, and the customer
was working for was there with me all the
time, and no member of my family was there
during that time l therefore have positive
proof that did not get the lost money.
If YOU are patronizng and paying contribu-
tions to Mr. Reifsteek you are likely to be
well spoken of; if not you stand chance to
be vilely slandered and with respectable peo-
pie the slanderer is the basest creature living.

THE HERALD in its present Hands
is in every way true to the memory
of ]. @. Cover. It's editors first Jour-
nalistic experience was with him and
our association with him was as
agreeable as that of any two persons
everwas or could be. On no subject of
political preference or editorial man
agement was there ever anything but
unity of opinion between US. As a
man and as an editor he is now our
model. The principles and the men
he loved we love. The HERALD will
be as true as he was to those prin-
ciples and men. The low-lived ours
who make one face to the friends
of Mr.. Cover and another to his en-
emies, with the Advocate for their
organ and the Argus for its tender,
will come to know this when their
infamy has spent ITSELF The few
people occasionally misled by their
duplicity soon come to know the
truth again The Herald was the
friend of the people, in the years
past, and is firmly their friend now,
and they who are wise and not plot
ting treachery or other infamy accept
it as such.
