us TO infer that if EverEart was tue. his

Delinquent subscribers and others in
debted to this Office are cautioned against
sending bills of the denomination OF s. 100
on the Pittstield National Bank, of Pitts
field, Mass, as there said TO be very dan
gerous counrerfeits of that description IN cir
culatiOn, and it heing almost lifetime since
we saw hundred dollar william of that
or any other kind, we have no doubt we
would be ''dern fool enough TO take a bad
one just as quick as one Of the Other kind
"A little sou of Mr.. VIM. OTTO, of Altoo-
ma, attempted to take a drink from a hv-
drant in his parents house last Tuesday.
He placed his mouth over the nozzle, and
turning on the water, it struck him with so
great force as to straugle him. In the death
agony his mouth closed on the nozzle and
in the attempt to take him away from the
hydrant nearly all his teeth were torn ont.
It was a most singular accidental bov act
ually drowned by stream of water flowing
from a hydrant
"A combat between a couple of rattle
snakes at Lilly's station, this county is de-
scribed in one of our exchanges. The reptiles
would rear them selves nearly on the ends
of their tails, rush at each other with open
mouths, sink their faugs into each other,
and do various strange and reprehenshle
things besides, two other snakes of the same
species meanwhile looking on and enjoying
the fun from a safe distance The story ia
about on a par with all snake stories, aud the
reader can safely imagine the rest.
The three cent pieces to be retired
from circulation as rapidly as possible. This
is an important announcements, but it will
scarcely possess the same amount of interest
for our local readers that the statement does
that john Lloyd & Co. have during the pre-
sent week received from the East some !u-
voices of very choice dress and dry goods
for ladies' wear. general invitation is
extended TO all TO call aud sample the goods
aud see if all things desired in the way of
dry goods, groceries, ETC., cannot there be
found.
We are glad to notice that the venerable
and beloved Father Bradley, who poured
the waters of baptism on our head nearly
we'll we amt going to say how many years
ago, for that would be telling our age-and
who then, as now, was pastor of the Carho-
lie church at Newry, Blair county, is slowly
but surely recovering from a severe illness
which for time threatened to put end
to his long and useful life, nearly if not quite
fifty-certaiuly more than forty -fve-years
of which have been spent in his present To-
cation.
One evening the beginning of the present
week piscator tished out of the depths of
Shenkle's dam a pocket-book. 1t contained
only a few fsh-hooks and lines aud a scrap
OF two of worthless paper, together with the
address of the owner. Now, mark how
slight a circumstance will spoil good local
item. This owner was soon discovered to
be alive and well. and so all thought of
dragging the dam for corpse which repOsed
at its bottom was abandoned az futile
Many a sensation is spoiled in this same an
seemly manner.
Our journalistic neighbor, the Cambria
new so far the reading matter on the in
side its only home production, was concern
ed-and looked as neat and clean as we hope
it is prosperous and useful TO the cause it
supports, which, being Republican, is moth
ing to brag about With its new departure
the subscri ption price has been reduced from
90 to S1.50 per year, and this of itself
ought to add largely toits list of paying pat
rons. That such may prove TO be the case
we will not be sorry to learn.
DO you remember a day long past, when
we roamed alone through wiud-fi'led
wood and came to n ledge of rock AT last.
where with hands clasped fast we silent
stood II is likely you do not remember
this episode but if yoI forget the fact that
James J. Murphy, 10s Clinton street, Johns
town, sells cheaper made-up clothing than
can be elsewhere purchased in Cambria
county, you forget something 10 your own
personal disadvantage. His stock j. always
first class fresh and full, and his price list
shows the most reasonable Of prices.
The hot wave seems 20 have come back
TO US again, aud heavy c,othing douned
few DAYS ago has been doffei for the present.
The thermometer ~ mp 60 the ninety mark,
aud the leading question now is how to keep
