Mr.. James b. Huff was fonnd dead in
bed at his home in Altoona Saturday
morning last. His disease was epilepsy, to
freuuent attacks of which he had been subject
from childhood. He was a brother of ex-
SheriF Huff recently of Altoona, hut now
in the oil regions, and of Mr.. Geo. f. Huff !
At one time a resident of this place but at
present End Ger gears past a citizen of Greens-
burg.
The operation Of Tapping Mr.. J. A.
Moore who has been confined to his room
for a couple Of weeks past by dropsical
affiiction was successfully performed on
Tuesday of this week by Dr. John Lowman,
of Johnstown. Nearly two gallons of semi
liquid matter were taken from him and the |
patient is now in much easier condition |
than before. We hope soon to hear of bis |
complete restoration to health.
The death of little son of Deputy Post !
/ master Davis, noted elsewhere, was cansed !
| by diphtheria, a disease which, If we are |
! correctly informed, is affecting another /
/ member of the same family--a little dangh- |
| ter. MIR. Davis himself is also said to be i'll, I
! but the nature of his aff1ction we failed to
/ learn. Other cases of diphtheriain our town
| are likewise reported but we believe none OF
| them are of a serious character.
We had the pleasure of visit on Friday
| last from Mr.. BARLEY Corless, who resides
| two miles west of Altoona, ami Is one of the
most steadfast and reliable patrons the
| FREEMAN can boast of--''an honest man, the
uoblest work of God" Mr.. Coriess was ac-
compauied by his and brother, both of
whom we were glad to welcome. May Hea-
| ven bless our friend COrless and keep him
! and his from all kinds of distress.
Or Saturday last Judge Dean issued
decree requiring the Commonwealth 10 re-
