young man very respectfully connected in

. and sentenced 10 be hung some where in the
vest, and that several Of his relatives have

vious to his execution. which, II is said. has
! been fixed for an early day. The story is
not aH impossible nor even an imnrohable
one, but we nevertheless hope that it is
without foundation ;u fact.
For rhe first time since coming among
us, so far as we are aware, Mr.. T. II. Hrist,
/ the pOnular landlord of the Mountain House
in this place. mounted the stump on behalf

several telling speeches in the German Ian

Cambria dnriuE the past week. Like every
thing else he undertakes 10 do Mr.. Heist
put vigor and sound sense into his utter
ances, and being a good talker ami 4 ready
reasoner, his speeches wrre well received
and we hope did much good.
