The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1878-07-05

:
The difficulty between Messrs. Jones and
/ Williams, OF Cambria township, IN which
/ we said that the former gentleman had shot
and wounded couple of cows owned by the
latter in consequence of said ANIMALS tres
passing upon his premises and tTamping
down his wheat. etc. As there is no wheat
or other grain the place, of course the
cattle could not have injured it, and hence
/ it is that we make this correction.
The item published by us last week
about the sale of St. Aloysius' Academy,
LorettO. TO a community of Ursuine nuns,
although based upon what we conceived TO
B be strictly reliable information, seems not to
! have been correct, and it affords us pleasure
/ thus early to contradict the story on the
thOrity of those who know whereof they af-
firm. The institution, which, by the way,
Is one of the hest in the land for the educa-
/ ton of young ladies, will in the future as IN
the past he conducted by the good Sisters of
! Mercy. Success attend it.
/ Against our own conviction, but in ac-
cordauce with Information obtained from
several parties who claimed to be cOgTizant
/ Of the fact not having ourself been present
/ in the convention when the nomination was
made, and not being in possession of the Off
! cial report, printed the names of James
. Skelly, instead of Philip ID. Skellv, one
/ of the candidates for Auditor in q portion
/ of our last edition. When we discovered
I the error eve made the proper correction, as
! will be seen Thy reference TO the ticket at
/ the head Of our editorial department.

{ we could name, Republican as well as Dem
! ocralic, for kind words of sympathy and
I good cheer SO freely expressed since our re-
/ cent failure to secnrc the nomination for
County Treasurer. True IL is that we are
not mourning one who refuses to be COM
forted over the loss of the coveted position,
nor are we in the least dissatisfied with
what we did or what the vention did in
the premises yet il is great satisfaction
10 know that upt only editorial brethren
generally are solicitous about our political
and personal welfare, but that to the Dem
OCracy OF Cambria we can confidently com
NIT our future political destinies without
| snS present fear at least of being set back
once more and for the fourth time in any as
piratIOus we may still haze.
We can't permit the late county con-
ventlou 10 go down into history without put
ting uFon record tl.e gratitude we feel to-
wards certain gentlemen " hO stood 10y us so
/ faithfully and maufuHy as members of said
! convention during Jhe long struggle which
i7Iterveue3 before the withdrawal of our
name IS candidate for County Treasurer.
We don't like to assume the liberty OF men

Ga!liJzin and Tunnelhill borodghs, are

very much TO determine who we mean.

but they are none the less deserving on that
( account of this public recognition of the
! earnest and hearty support which most of
( them accorded us from first to last, and the
balance gave US as soon as the opportunity
offered.
