which Of the two could tell the biggest lie
A referee was appointed and the task was
a-year ago very wealthy editor of a country
ne wspaper in ---'' stop r. exclaimed the
referee, f'you have won already-that can t be
discounted" :" and looking at the other man,
continued, '1t's your treat, and as there's
luck in odd numbers, I'll make one OF the
party" which was agreeable all round
John A. Numer, freight fiagman on
the Pittsburgh division, was struck by the
Gallitzm gravel train, Tuesday evening,
white descending the eastern slope of the
mountain, and knocked from the car on
which be was standing. The result was an
ugly cut, one and a half Inches long, over
his left eye, to say nothing of the wind being
knocked completely out of him for a brief
period. The Injured man was leaning out to
discover whether the wheels Of his train were
sliding when the accident happened. He
was taken to Altoona. where his wound was
dressed, after which he was conveyed to his
boarding-hOusp where he has by this time
no doubt sufficiently recovered to congratu-
late himself that his injuries are rot more
Numerous OF more serious.
The Johnstown Tribune nf Tuesday SAYS
that the members Of the bar of Cambria
county have gotten up petition to President
Hayes, urging the appointment of George VI.
Beade, ESQ. as the successor Of Hon. W. W.
Ketcham, deceased on the bench Of the Dis
trict Court Of Western Pennsylvania. Mr..
Reade would make an honorable, upright
ate, and in every way worthy successor OF
Judge ketcham who mad the good will and
esteem Of members OF the bar in PennSylva-
MA in an eminent degree. Should MI. Reade
receive the appointment, continues the Trj-
bune, Cambria county will lose one Of the
most conscientious, faithful, hard-wOrking
members, and the bench receive learned,
honorable, dignifed Judge. We believe
there i No. Office Mr.. Reatie would not fill
with honor to himself and credit to the pow
er that entrusts him with the position.
Mag gie Narley and Maggie Davidson are
not the only females, we beg leave to inform
the JOhnStOwu Sunday Times, who have been
convicted of crime and sent 20 the peniten-
tiaTy from this county a. least one other
fTail fair one had the misfortune to occupy
that uneuviable position, We refer to q
young woman named Auu HaTtZeli, 4 resi-
dent of White township, who was charged
with the crime Of infanticide, and at Septem-
Der sessions, 1861, was found guilty OF muT-
der in he second degree and sentenced to
the VenitcDtiaIy for period of seven years,
but was pardoned by the Governor long be
fore her term expired. She was afterward
married to John Ream, Of Jackson township,
with whom she became acquainted while
serving her term Of Imprisonment, and who
l. now, if We mistake not, back IN his old
quarters in the penitenJiary. Her case was
carried to the Supreme Cont, without,
however, serving her any good purpose, as
the judgment Of our county cOurt.was finally
affirmed by tAat body in December, 1855.

that David Costiow and Martin Fish, strikers
in the steel works Of the Cambria iron CON-
pany, were ascending on the elevator about
half past 1 o'clock on Monday morning, the
elevator at the time containing quantity OF
material for the cupOla, and from some cause
they allowed it to he drawn a short distance
above the upper platform, when one Of the
weight ropes broke and II commenced falling

CoStloN was rendered totally unconscious by
the conclusion, beside receiving cuts about
his head and face, the knocking out Of one OF
his teeth, and contusious on his body. Mr..
Fish sustained the SpTain uC Of both an kieS,
aud the bono OF one Of his great toes was
unjointed. Medical aid was summoned. but
IL vas not until seven hours atterward thai
COstIow came to hieiself. and during the in
terim he was totally obIiyious as 20 what
had happened. Both will recover.
--AltOOna seems to be the paradise Of
newspaper men, Il we NAV JUDGE from the
fact that il has now three daily and three
weekly journals, all Of which appear to he
doing thriving business. The latest We n
ture Of the kind is the Altoona Daily S'iH, a
pretty a paper and as good one for its size
as has ever been issued from the press Of that
or any other city. Tie sun j. devoted To- tht
dissemination Cf pure Democratic principles
and the terse and intelligent manner III whicl
it deals with all the leading questions of the
day Is evidence sufficient that its able editor
VIM j. FuTey. Esq. is the right man in tht
right place But that is not all that Will
truth can be said in its favor, for while it
editorial ana general ne VS. departments art
hrstsclaS5 in every respect, its local column:
are filed to repletiCn with the best efforts OF
its efficient and gentlemauly local editor
Mr.. John Furey. \ neGter and better daily
paper no inland town in tEe state can boas
j Of, and If it gets all the patronage ii merits
as we sincerely hope it may, it IS bound t
prove big bonanza to its cHtcrpTisiDg anc
public spirited stockholders.
