SOME of the people of Altoona as we have
heretofore mentioned In theee columns, have
been engaged for some weeks past in an an
imated crusade against intempera1ce. Not
satisfied with their own home endeavors in

Francis Murphy, the sO-CalleG cold-water
apostle, and one Jonas BoughtOn and wife,
not known for much of anything except for
their attitude as plaintiffs in 3 case for libel
against the Altoona Mirror, and the way

on the wine when it is red whether the next

bosh, there seems to be one man in that city
who hns not lost his head. We refer TO the

MYSTERY or THR GRAvB.-An' old man
named Michael Burkst lived for a half dozen
years IN the woods near Glen white, Blair
county. three miles east OF Gallitxin, Cambria
county. He was q hermit, and lived nermits
life. His home was kut or hovei dug out OF !
the ground, and iuterlaced with brush for q |
roof, and the general surroundings OF bis self
appointed place OF existence were OF the poor
est and meanest kind Where be came from 10
supposed to be Claysburg, Blair county, what
he was doing is explained by the theory that he
thought he owned a section OF land In the
neighborhood of:where he had located, aud his
object, IL be had any, was to preserve by actual
/ residence his title to the ground. Two weeks
/ OF more ago. a height Dor, passing by, stopped TO
have a moments conversation with Burket.

( moved to Altoona. where an inquest was held
and :he foregoing facts, with the additional ons
that he had been dead nine days, were eiicited.
Medical gentlemen made examination OF the
remains. Burket's person was found to be IN
8 most filthy condition-his body covered with
dirt and his face With hair OF a grizzly gray
color. In the uncertsker's establishmert says
the Altoona Tribune, the Dody was stripped OF

not the result of natural causes. His clothing
was impregnated with coal dust. little clouds
, OF which would float away when the garments
were torn of IN sections. From the quantity

; to keep warm No less than seven garments o.
3 different kInds-shirts, vests and coats-wsr'
, drawn from his body, and his legs were covered

here is the story: The other evening, while
a number of gentleman were sitting around
postmaster Lingafelt's stove, awaiting the
mail which has of late an invariable habit
of being behind time, one of the party,
prominent SorouRh ficial, upon whose ev-
cry movement the boys Of the borough keep
a watchful eye, told the following upon him
self We think it too good to he lost. and II
shall thus be preserved from oblivion.
An Ebensburg man was indebted TO the
of cial aforesaid to the amount of S3.5 He
was frequently importunei TO pay the same,
but never responded. Our hero was inform
ed that he would never get his money unless
he sued the debtor, and finally, being in Eb-
ousburg one day, he entered suit. There
was an attorney there with whom the suitor
was on most excellent terms they had mu-
tually served each other, and neither had
ever rendered 4 bill The attorney was ask
ed 70 look after the matter on the day sJ-
pointed FOR the hearing, ana said he would.
4 It so happened that he was called away on
that particular day and asked his partner 10
attend TO it, which he did, receiving at the
hands of the Justice the money, which had
been paid, rs predicted, soon after the sui:
had been brought.
Our friend, upon his next visit 10 Ebens-
. burg, discovering the status of the thing
/ went to the lawyer who had kindly lift
ed his funds, and after sOme miscellaneous
. conversation suggested that there ought &c
be some small balance due him, TO whICh'the

walk to Justices Office for less than five

coming to you you are in my debt a dollar

that himself and wife had got into n sleigh

before putting tho whip to the horse Boland,
with the remark that he had forgotten some
