mother, some three years ago, and whose
eStimable wife and children spent consid-
erable time in our midst, has recently sew
cred his connection with the Northeastern
chronicle, of St. Pau, Mimi, and taken ed
Itorial charge of the Cleveland Unirerse one
of the best conducted Catholic newspapers
in The country. Mr.. Tello, Is not only a
brilliant, forcible and pleasing writer, but a

his retiring bow to the patrons of the Mt

"A meeting was held in Altoona on last
Saturday night by number of workn g
men, who propose to organize labor reform
party in Blair county. Committees were
appointed to ascertain the views of the
working men in each ward of the city in
reference to the proposed movement and re-
