We're arrested a few days ago and taken TO
Forest county to answer the charge of steal {
ing a valuable double-barTeiled rife, one
year ago last fall. Constable Philip Miller,
of Barr township, was the officer who ef-
fected the arrest, and with the assistance of
another party took the accused all the way
TO Forest county, distance of 11S miles in
buggies, occupying six days in going AID

"A somewhat singular coincidence con-
nected " it'll the burial of Mrs lydia Glazier
So years of age, who was found lying dead
on the floor of the sitting-room at her resi-
denCe in Huntingdon Saturday morning
last, is that the remains of her husband,
who died several years ago, were the first to
he borne to the grave in hearse owned by
Mr.. Philip Brown, while her own body was
the first TO be conveyed TO :he same bourne
in a hearse belonging 20 Mr. Jas. A Brown

VIM Beclkel, of Barr township, was AZ:
rested in Johnstown Friday last and
brought 10 Jail here on Monday forenoon by
Constable John Harris, and will doubtless
be called upon next wees TO answer the
charge Of being one of three parties who re-
Gently stole about fifty dollars worth of car
penter tools from Nr, A nthony Krumenach-
err of the former place. Beckel had obtained
employment at the new wire mill in Johns
town, but had been at work only two
three days when he was nabbed and disposed
of as already noted.
We have been requested to announce
that Mr.. John NJ. King, of Johnstown, will
he named in the coming convention of the
Cambria county Democracy as a candidate
for Assembly. Mr.. King il en- phaIiCally n
live man, anG if nominated and elected
about the latter Of which there could be no
doubt, he will not be found wanting in any
essential particular as n representative of
] the people in the popular branch 0f the Leg
! isature. Sociahle, popular and OF admitted
ability, Mr.. King would undoubtedly make
a very strong candidate.

The spring house Of Mir. acob Zorn, in

at the time, his premises have been sub
jected to several depredatiOns of the kind
during the past few months, and he has of
late been on the watch fully determined to
