Mr.. Patrick DOnahOe, of Clearfeld town
shin announces himself as n candidate for
County Auditor. and Mr. Patrick Dillon, of
Elder township. would have no objection,
we understand, to accept the same position
on the Democratic ticket. Both of :he gem
tIemen named are intelligent and thoroughly
competent to perform the duties of the office
referred to, and we are sure the convention
might 90 further and fare infinitely worse in
the selection of candidate than by noIGlua-
ting either one of the =. d. =.
Squirrels are said to be very plenty IN
most sections of this county at the present
time and sportSmen are looking forward to
the probability of lofs of fun after the first of
September tho date when the shooting season
legally begins. Many pine squirrels are
even seen i'm the heart of town, aud on We'd
nesday in front of the Court Honse. a fellow
armed with fusee blaZed away till he suc-
Gee led in killing one of that species. This
suggests the query-is there not al ordi-
nance prohibiting the use of ordnance within
the borough limits?

Elder township, will I've the scene of good
cheer and pleasant enjoyment, the occasion

The lecture delivered at the Catholic
church in this place, on Thursday evening
If last week 10y Rev. F. Y. Mccarthy, of
St. Augustine, was one of the finest cratOri-
cal efforts this community has ever been fa-
vOred with. II was indeed n masterpiece of
eloquence and sublime language, and a. a
pen picture of the late Holy Father and his
wonderful pOntitcate, drawn by one who
saw the great poptiff more than once in his
| life, it was as interesting and instructive as
il was faithful aud true in every particular.
The attendance at the lecture was not so
large as it should have been, and the sum
realized by the collection of course pro-
pOrtionately small, though how much it
amounted to we have not been Informed.
Not having time to elaborate nor the re-
quisite space to set apart for each of our reg
ular local advertising patrons, we can do no
better this week than 10 invite the attention
of those of our readers wishing to purchase
clothing to the extensive establishment of
Godfrey Wolf next door TO the post office,
Altoona, Pa. aud Jas. j. Murphy, 100 Cliu-
ton street, Johustown, at either of which
houses buyers viii he sure to find the best of
wearing apparel At the very lowest prices.
! We also invite attention to the Great Eastern
Boot aud Shoe Store of s. Blumeutlai 11fg
Eleventh avenue, Altoona, where every
thing in the way of boats, shoes, CATERS,
etc, can be found in eudless variety aud at
prices which very etfectually dispense with
auy excuse for going barefoOted.
Milton Alexander Esq, of Altoona, is
n prominent member of the Blair county
bar. and very worthy man. He was
candidate for the Republican nominate
for Congress in this district, aud, up to with
! in few days OF the primary elections in
Blair county, which were held last Saturday,
had no local opposition. At the eleventh
hour, however, rival candidate was sprung
upon him in the person of DR.. w. G. Roller,
of HOllidaysburg, and, through alleged
trickery. the latter gentleman was pulled
through by vote of / ,16l against TO 90S for
Alexander. The Altoona Tribune attributes
this unlocked for result to the Vaccinations
of the friends of Gen. Jacob NJ. Campbell,
and looks upon it as unwise and impolitic.
Cam pbell's nomination is a foregOne concu-
sion in any event, and the only effect this
clan6estine move can have will he to raise
up enemies against him in his own house
hold Alexander and Alexander's friends
will put on !heir war paint. and in the end
Campbell's scalp will adnrn the belt of Baer,
or whoever else the Democrats may choose
as their standard bearer. Let the dance go
on
