lie succeeded, however, in remounting hts

The proprietor of the White Hall (Al-
toOna) hotel, lately purchased horse from
cambria county man, whose name IS not
given, and paid the owner s. to seal the
contract The buyer told the seller of the
horse to bring him to the White Hall on

prletor, Hite by name, refused to stand by
his contract and wanted his five dollars
Dack but rs that is not the way that such
things are done up in Cambria, the owner
refused to comply with the request and de
manded fulfilment of the contract Hite
was stubborn and refused, whereupon the
Cambria man mounted his horse and started
for home, having his expenses and trouble
about made whole by the five dollars.
Mr.. Joseph VanO:mer, Of Reade town.
snip, who Is unqueStiOnably one of the most
successful lumbermen on the Allegheny
mountains, has recently completed log
slide, six and one-half miles in length, which
Is said by men experienced in the business
TO be the most substantial and most extern
stve ever erected in the Pennsylvania lumber
regions. He has also about two million feet
Of logs cut, skidde6 and piled ready to be
run on to this slide and showed into Clearfeld
creek as soon as there is sufficient snow for
the purpose. In addition to all this, Nr.
NanOTmer has a large contract on the head
waters of Powell Run, where he has built
large splash dam for the purpose of driving
out said timber. He proposes putting in nve

the county, and as we never advertise for
Altoona merchants or any one else at one
third, or even Jwo-thirds, our published
rates, we are curious to know what paper in
Cambria county the CarTolltOwn NetcS had
In its minds eye when IL attempted to boost
up its palpable falsehood about having ''a
circulation north of the pike double that of
any paper sent to Northern Cambria. "
We put our paper to p: ess this week one
day earlier than usual lin order to bridge over
Christmas, but are still a little too late to an
nounce the full excursion programme on the
Pa. r. r., though not yet too late to say that
excursion tickets can be bought on the 25th,
30th and 31st Of December, and on the 1st of
January, at any station along the main line
or branches, and all such tickets viii be good
TO return on until January Sd. No half eX-
cursion tickets will be sold, nor will any per
son be permitted to stop OF while en- route.
Conductors will be allowed to sell excursion
tickets only from points where there are no
ticket Offices. BY the way, it has often been
a source OF wonder to us that the Pa. R. r.
Co. don't inform the newspapers a couple Of
weeks in advance OF holiday and other Tegu-
lar excursions, so that the fact may be more
generally advertised than il now is.
