young man from the same vicinity whose
name we did not learn has gone to Cincin-

wEo las already attended a course of lectures
IN the latter city, is now in Chicago for a
IKE purpose. and Mr.. G. A. Zimmerman of
Johnstown, left for Philadelphia on Sunday
evening last with similar object in view
The Williamsburg Times says that \
nendlsh attempt to throw train off the
track was made on Friday morning, A
raii had been taken up near the Greensburp
water plug and placed across the track. It
was intended to wreck the Pacific Express
east, but the villains overreached them
selves by putting the rail so far over as to
strike the north track. Union line freight
! coming west struck the erd of the loose rail-
and stopping to ascertain the cause, iisc1v-
cred the trap. They sent a man forward to
| stop the Express, thereby avcriing a fearful
! accident. 1t is not within the mind of man
| TO conceive punishment severe enough for
! snch tends, who, for revenge or plunder,
would do SO devilish an act.
! An Allegheny township farmer whom

with four horses and plow, aud notawi;h-

after having accomplished the feat of plow-
ing the entire six acres, which he did by al

! About l clock on Monday morning last
the extensive lager-beer brewery of Mr..
| Geo. j. Schwnderer, at Summittville, this
| county, was discovered TO he fire, and
notwithstanding the efforts of the citizens,
unaided of course by anything like fire ap-
! paratus, the "true inwarduess" of the struc-
! ture was totally destroyed, and even the
| stone walls are said 10 have been badly
. cracked by the intense heat that they will
have TO be taken down. The fire originated
| in the malt-dIying room, in the upper story,
and the only wonder is that Mr.. S. = dwell
ing house, which was in closed proximity to
/ the brewery, did not meet with like fate.
! The loss is said 10 be from So, 500 to $4,000,
| although we see it placed as high as S13, 900
| in the Johnstown and Altoona dailies. There
| was, we believe, no insurance on the proper

/ Tierney, Of Cambria township, ran away
from the residence of Mr.. George SEettig, in
! after dashing through the alley and across
Centre street near the residence of the late
John +. Roberts, came in contact with the
corner of a fence, which one of the animals
succeeded in avoiding. but the other, having
a strong peuchanr for jumping, attempted TO
leap the obstruction and would probably
! have succeeded had it rot been for the lar
ness which brought her to bay on top of the
fence with such force to cause an upright
board To penetrate her right side to con-
siderable depth and enter her kindneys,
| producing almost instant death. The animal
! was a rather valuable one, Mr.. Tierney as
sur:ng us that a hundred dollars would not
