Mr. James II. Benford, proprietor of the
Hubert Honse, Johnstown. died on last
Friday morning, in the 57th year of his age.
He was born in Somerset, learned the tan
ming trade, and after his marriage engaged
in the hotel business, having AZ different
periods kept public house in Indiana.
Salisbury, and Harrisburg. Mr.. Benford
was very companionable man, and made
hosts of friends wherever he went. He was
generous by nature and full of kindness and
charity to his fellow men. His wife and
several children survive him. His remains
were inferred in Sandyvales Cemetery, near
Johnstown, on Sunday, and were followed
to their last resting place by an immense
concOurse of people.
We invite attention TO the card of Mr..
i. G.. M'Ginley. in another column. Mr.
MGinley will doubtless be remembered by
not few of our readers as the proprietor of
the Summit House at Summitville, this
county, in the days of the old Portage Rail-
road, since when ne has been almost con-
stantly engaged in the business of hotel
keeping, for which long experience and an
innate desire TO treat all men Justly and
courtsous1y so well BELTS him, Now that he
has Dining Rooms for ladies and gentlemen
Mt 16t Wool street, Pittsburgh, we commend
him TO the patronage of all our readers who
may chance to visit that city, confident a5
we are that all who patronize him will I've
furnished with excellent meals at the lowest
prices.
Since the good old days of Adam and
Eve il is doubtful whether the "apple of dis
cord" ba- created so much trouble as has re-
Gently been produced 10y asingle specimen of
the fruit in Huntingdon county. The story
briefly told is that young man named Long
brntally assuuted.a boy named Kimberland,
because n younger brother of she latter
knocked an apple off a tree in Longs yard,
and as a consequence more honored in the
breach than The observance the parents of
the respective youths took up the quarrel,
and various suits and cross-suits for assault
and battery, malicious mischief and perjury
were the natural results. All these cases
were tried in the county court last week,
and although none of the parties we're con-
victed, the paternal progenitors on both.sides
were obliged to go to Jail because they hadn't
the wherewitEal 10 pay the costs.
We invite attention to the donble-col-
umn advertisement on this page setting
forth the rare bargains in clothing now to he
had at :he famous OakI Hall, 9th and Market
streets, Philadelphia. Next week we will
insert n new advertisement for Mr.. Wanna
makers Grand Depot, 18th and Market,
when we shall take occasion to refer at some
length TO both establishment. II is sin
gular though none the less veritable fact
that the two houses in question pay us more
per year for al vertiSing than all the business
houses in Ehensburg combined and as they
have done this right straight along for
number of years it is fair to presume they
find 1t paying investment. Hence 1t is
that wish to see them prosper and know
ing as we do from experience that they sell
the best of goods at fhe very loves: possible
prices, we can say in all sincerity that they
deserve to prosper.
We are sorry indeed to record the death
of the amiable and beloved wife of our friend
and patron, Mr.. Thomas DOueher:ey, fl fth
son Of our venerable townsmau, Mr.. John
DOugherty, which occurred at her home In
Keytesvile, Mo-, ON Friday, the Sth inst.
Mrs. DOugherUy was In every sense of the
word n model woman, and whether consid-
cred as a wife, mother, friend, or neighbor
she was very Justly esteemed without
superior, While on visit to this place in
1876 she was received into the Catholic
Church, az was also her daughter, the only
other child, a son, having been baptized in
that faith when quite young Endowed
as she was with strong religious sentiments,
Mrs. DOugherty hecame after her conversion
one of the most faithful and pious members
of the Christian fold into which a sense of
duty to God and to her ov soIl had led her,
and after living pure and exemplary though
rather brief life in this worl,:, her age being
only about "a years, il is fair to presume
that she has been called To- the enjoyment of
never ending felicity in the world beyond.
May she rest in peace.
