I Mcdonald does not blow about his cheap
store at Loretto, but he can show TO all per-
sons willing to know that he sells as low,
and lower, than any other blower in those
parts. So yon know where to go when you

other commodity kept In n country retail

Joshua Ellsworth, who at the early age
OF "a years Is credited with a wife and two
children, was drowned In the Conemauph
river, opposite Coopersdale, about IL O'Clock
on Monday morning last, by the accidental
overtnrning OF skif in which he and
another party attempted to cross the river
His companion, more fortunate succeeded
in swimming to shore, although the force of
the current carried him fully hundred
yards down stream. Tie drowned man was
/ a resident Of Johnstown
Neither blood spilling nor scalp taking
was anticipated in our county court this
week, though IL il had not been for the post
ponement of a certain case down for trial
there Is abundant reason for believing that
/ an Indian war on a very small scale would
l have resulted, or, at least, that one Nez
I purse would have suffered quite severely
I When the contest does come, however, as
/ come it probably will at next term of Court,
I our word for it that the legal fraternity will
! see that the aforesaid Nez purse is made to
bleed profusely.
/ We trust 1t Is not too late now to do
/ what we should have done last week, return
I thanks to d. NJ Zimmerman ESQ. Secretary
and Treasurer of the Camden and Atlantic
+ City Railroad, for the compliment of a free
/ pass over said road for the year 1879. All
/ that we sigh for now is the time and the
I wherewithal to maintain life of dignity and
( ease at the seaside during the coming sum-
( mer sOlstice, and we have no doubt what
ever that those who owe us will see to it
| that the latter commodity at least is forth
coming in due time.

union OF that organization some time during

had, to the end that old battles may be
fought over in Imagination and Ihe records
OF the organization put in such shape that

would Cresson do as a meeting place for the
gallant old Eleventh.
/ The opening of the large, varied and ell
egant stock OF dry goods, groceries, hard
/ ware, etc, moves on apace at the new store
/ of y. j. Freidhoff, on High street, but a. yet
we forbear setting forth in detail what he

Last weeks Indiana Democrat, under
cover of correspondence from Salisbury,
same county, contains this item James
w. Rhey, Esq, formerly Superintendent of
Fairbanks coal mines, near this place, came
to town on Thursday afternoon last, to trans
act some business and during the evening,
while in the Earhart House, was stricken
down with spasms. He lies in critical
condition" Mr.. Rhey, VINO we are rejoced

Our genial and gentlemanly young
friend James g. Flanagan. Esq, of Altoona,
was on Monday last admitted to the practice
OF his profession in the several Courts of this
county, his honor, Judge Dean, taking oc-
casiOn to vouch for him as lawyer whose
abilities and integrity do ample credit to his
alma mater. This, added to the fact that he
Is about to be made City Solicitor by the
Democratic majority in Altoona Council,
ought to be enough to insure for the Jovial
"Jeems' a brilliant hereafter, which we
know he merits and hope he will attain.
: While we thank our correspondent "H
e" for the endorsement of our course con
tained in his communication in reference tC
G.. G., NJ. C, which mi ght mean Great Goose
Member Congress, but only means George
Gurley, Model Commissioner, we feel that
the subject has been sufficiently ventilated
and even If it were pruudeut to publish
Whist he writes, which we very much doubt
We question whether the game would pay
for the ammunition. If any one feels. how
ever, that the other side of the question i,
entitled to hearing, our columns are a. hi
service.
