INTO question, and the plain story they tell Is
that no man in the biz can better stock show
or pretend to compete with your prices so
low and for that reason I.orettO in the meT-
camille trade has won big name that never

Mr.. Henry huffman, of Newburg, Kan
SaS-I young gentleman whom we had the
pleasure of meeting during our recent visit
to SalIna-waS married on Tuesday last. at
st. JOSephS Germany Catholic church.
JOhnStOwn, to Miss Rose, daughter OF our
friend and patron. Mr.. Charles Ruth, Of the
latter place. The young and happy couple
have our best wishes for a long and prosper
Gus life in this world and never-ending felici-
ty IN the world to come.
The reason why Mr.. Henry Garman, who
Is Democrat and a worthy young man, was
retained in his position as engineer at the
Water-wOrks by the Republican Council, Is
probably to be found in the fact that the
windmill which is to Supersede him was on
its way to this place a the time the slate was
being made out and change under the cir
cumStanceS would work to the advantage Of
no one. The attention OF our ncighbor OF the
Herald Is mildly directed to this explanation.
The Huntingdon Semi Weekly NelrS says
that on Saturday last Mr.. Joseph liawn,
a soldier in the late war, was buried in the
cemetery at that place. Some time previous
to his death he claimed a pension from the
Government, and made application to the
Commissioner of Pensions for the full amount
due him. On the day of his burial a voucher
that he was entitled to a pension of $500.
Deceased had two children, who viii prOba
bly, receive the sum.
The name Of the man who was run over
by the Philadelphia express atfIilly'S station
on the 11th of last month and dangerously
hurt has been discovered to be Allen Lydlck-
He is OF unSOUnd mind. and lived with a SON
iu-aw in Indiana county. When struck by
the ears, he was on his way to TrQutVIlle,
where one Of his sons IS engaged in the pTac-
tice of medicine. Under the kindlyattentIOn
OF Mr.. James MaUlls and family, GaIlitZin,
to whose hotel he was removed, the old man
is in a fair way Of recovery.
The Republican authorities Of EbenS-
burg, like most of the Republican business
men of the community, don't advertise to
very alarming extent in Democratic newSpa-
peTS, and especially don't knock down prices
on the Herald i'm order to extend aid and
comfort to the FREEMAN. But they, you
know. WELD much more limited patronage,
and are confined to much narrower limits,
and it is not Of course to be expected that
they should be imbUed with such broad and
liberal views aS some of the Democratic
county officials indulge in that direction.
Mary DOan is said TO be the name of the
woman who abandoned her lately born infant
in Altoona one evening last week. SnuGlV
ensconced in a basket and well wrapped up
it was left as we stated in our last issue, on
the steps of the st. Johns Catholic parSOn-
age, where it was soon after discovered and
taken care of. SubseuuentlV the little one
no doubt receive careful training As to the
heartlesS mother. she is a Centre county
widow, and is thought to be now in Johns
town, where she claimed to have relatives
living.
Our borough auditors inform us that
during the past year it cost S522.0S to keep
the reservoir Of the water works filed while
the revenue received for the use of the fluid
was S219.S Si-a dead loss Of S1O2.2A The
new windmill. which is being put in position
this week, and which will require very
small outlay TO keep in running order IS
confidently looked to tOreverse these figures
The manifest of thcmill shows that its weight
is a ton and half, while its cost was about
$500. BY the way Is this not the first wind
mill (thc editor of the Herald eXcepteG) ever
brought into Use i'm Cambria county?
1t is announced that alI--that is TO say
We presume, nearly all-thc employees of the
Pennsylvania railroad company and of the
roads run under its management viii appear
i'm uniform after the 1St of next month. 81
mutaueOuSly on over seven thousand miles
OF track the railroad men VIII appear in uni
forms of blue, consisting of fTock coat, over
vest and pants, the coats with brass buttons
bearing the letters ''P. x. r. - and the same
style of cap nov worn, blue with white cord
ON the cap front viii Be worn plate with
the title of the position. and ON the lapels Of
the coat viii be number and the letters ''P
Il. r"
1t is true that politics very often make
strange bedfellOWS. but we doubt whether
any man ever found himself in such question
able company as Commissioner Guriey finds
himself to-day, with certain individual as
chief fuGemau VINO less than a thousand
years ago advised gentleman in this place
to leave the Democratic party. because, as he
alleged, said party is made up almost eX-
cluSively of what he was pleased to term 10
norant foreigners Of the same faith and ma
tiOnality as Mr.. GUTley himself. But then
you know times change and men change
with them-especiallyw when self-interestI leads
the way.
1t is announced that Congressman Nor
gan II. Wise. OF Greene COUNTY chairman Of
the House Committee ON Manufactures has
appointed J. \. Harold, of Ludwick. West
mUrelaUd county. as clerk of said committee
Ii this is the same !. =. Harold who at one
time figured so brilliantly rs ''the greatest
Coroner Cambria county ever had, is GER
taiuly ''the right man i'm the right place as
clerk to committee Of which Morgan r.
Wise happens, by the grace of Speaker Ran
dali, to be the chairman. They win make a
noble and coHgeUial pair. "Can such things
be, and c'cr come us like a summer cloud" p"

F. J. Burgoon, Esq. of Souman, visited
the Prothonotary's Office last Monday and
lifted his commission as Justice of the
Peace in and for Portage township. He is
the gentleman who short time since captured
a wild swan near his place of residence. and
atterWard forwarded it to the Philadelphia
Geological Garden, receiving therefor the
neat sum Of fifteen dollars The legend at
tached to it by the Herald, TO the effect that
the bird was captured by Republican
Justice ot the Peace, etc, Is distinctly re-
pudiated by Esquire BurgoOu. Some express
messenger, likely, ought to be blamed for
that wild flight of descriptive nonsense.
In Indiana county, q couple Of miles
northeast of Armagh, is a struggling village
which goes by the name of Diiltowu. 1t is
unknown to fame except during cdmp-meet-
ING times, when mUltitudeS Of people flock
to 1t to buy food for man or horse. cked out
by an occasional schooner of beer. But now
1t seems, DiltOwn is destined to attain pro-
minence, though not of the most desirable
character. Recent researches have developed
the fact that the MarliS gang of counter
one of their principal hauntS, and a sort Of
underground habitatiOn in its near neghbOr-
hood, fitted up with diabOical cOntrivances
peculiar to the manufacture Of bogus coin
has been visited by some of the officers Of the
law. The birds, unfortunately. had flown
but quantity of testimony was gathered
which, added to what was known before,
viii in all probability lead to the arrest of a
number Of persons (sOme of whom have been
unsuSpected in this cOnnection) and the Ul-
innate breaking up of the gang.
Elsewhere in this paper we present the
new advertisement of the ~ Young America
Clothing House corner Eleventh avenue
and 18th street, Altoona. The ''Noung
America" is one of the reliable business
houses of our neighboring city, and the fame
of the superiority of the clothing there sold
as well as Of the liberal prices at which they
are sold, has spread far and wide. TO go to
Altoona and vet fail to call and see this great
emporium and its contents were to betray a
lack of attention to one ; own interests which
would be deplorable. The Spring stock,
all the latest styles in endless
array, has just been received and opened,
and the ''N Noung America people affirm in
positive terms that they viii dispose of the
same at as low rates as the same quality Of
