The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1878-10-04

! When the South wind huns and sighs,
and ocean SMILES, and wild birds sing in
/ woodland ways meath clOudless skies and
care aud gloom take hasty wing, we thiE k
of iove-tben think again, and wonder If
7 that cloud means rain. But when the cold
/ winds begin to whistle around the edges, as
now, our thoughts are turned into another
channel. We inquire of one another where
can be bought suit of read v made clothing q
for winter wear at a reasonable price? The
answer is invariably--at james j. Murphy 8
100 Clinton street, Jobnstown. His stock
which of late has been largely added 10,
comprises all the fresh styles while in the
matter of prices he defies the world to beat
him for cheapness.
"A party Of excursionists went from In
diana to Pittsburgh to take in the Elk posi-
tion the other day, and the Pittsburgh Lead
er man ran across them. He describes their
appearance on the whole as what might have
been expected had the catacOmbs of Egypt
emptied their contents upon the streets OF
the Smoky City, and AYERS that they gazed
long and earnestly at the steeples and pat
roniZed pop and peanut stands. Brothers
SAMSON and Smith composed part of the
crowd, and they resent the Leader mans s
slurs with so much severity that we incline
TO the belief !hat there must be some mis-
take about the matter. Maybe the sight
seers were the ones who recently went out
from Blair county.
We have been furnished with a report
of the proceedings of two Greeuback- Labor
meetings held at L0rettO and Chest Springs
on Thursday and Friday evenings of last
week, but owing to lack of space, TO say
nothing of n scarcity of type, we are unable
to print it, Suffice it then to note that the
report represents both meetings having
been large and enthusiastic, and says that
both were addressed by Mr. John McCOr-
mick of Summerhill township, who was fol-
lowed at the first meeting by Mr.. Henry G.
Kaylor, of Munster township, and at the
latter by Mr.. Jas Daley, of Allegheny town
snip. The speeches were all we'll received,
and our correspondent pretends to believe
that the y. Gil. movement made nice
thing out of the meetings.
We made mention a week or two ago
that either the real or assumed lunacy of
Barney Vogel, the Barr township "moOn-
shiner," had secured the removal of that
somewhat notorious individual from the
Pittsburgh Workhnuse to Dixmont Hospital.
The lunacy is now popularity thonght to have
been put on for a purpose, for Barney few
days since succeeded IN effecting his escape
from the latter institution, where he was
looked upon as n weak-minded, inoffensive
fellow who needed no guarding. aud as
consequence he is now at large. The scene
of his future operations is of course sealed
book az yet but whatever point he may set
tie down at will receive a valuable acqusi-
tiou To its population in the person of Bar
ney. for he pays his taxes like a man and
don't go round bothering folks with partic-
ulars about his business.
horses passed through town, westward
bound, Saturday last. In the wagon we're
eleven children, none Of them above the age
of twelve years. and two women, while out
eide contentedly trudged couple Of men,
driving the horses and seeing that nothing
or nobody got lost from the drove. In au-
swer to interrOgatories, they said they had
cut loose from Snyder cOua.y month since,
with the intention of getting 10 Kansas before
the cold weather sets in to stay. Kansas is
a good farming country, they explained, and
they meant to pre-empt a couple of sections
of land and undertake the cultivation of to-
bacco. Provided the two woment don't get
fighting for the ownership of the odd baby,
they expect TO reach their destination by
Christmas, when they promised to seEd
word back how they found things en- route
Thomas Denny, aged Is years, aud
younger brother, sons of Mr.. Ricba ard Denny,
of Allegheny to wnship, this county, whis:led
up the dogs and went hunting the cows last
Sunday week. While travelling leisurely
through the woods, the dogs treed something
which the boys, after hastv reconnaissance,
declared to be coon. We don't know
whether meat was scarce in the Denny
household or not, but Thomas said to his
brother that il would be nice thing to take
that coon along home with them anyhow.
Accordingly, armed with a club, he Skinned
II up The tree, but the animal seeningly
averse to close acquaintanceship, jumped to
the ground. The dogs seized it aud soon
despatched 1t, when it was discovered that
the supposed coon vas nothing more nor
less than full grown and particularly
sge-loOking wildcat! Thomas and his
brother gathered up their game and made
tracks for home with much celebrity fearful
that the wildcats mate might be in the
neighhurhood and disapprove of their doinRs,
aud from that time on they have been, as
they deserve to he, the youthful heroes of
Allegheny township.
