that with the election of Hancock, which he
might have conceded, but probably didn't
"one of two things would be certain, either
your pensions viii stop or pensions viii be
paid to disabled rebel soldiers" 1t is not
stated whether his word was accepted or
not, but of course that don't make any differ
ence, as more Lytle be thrown on the sub
Ject after Hancock's Inauguration than VIII
be healthy for Mr. Lytle's reputation for
truth and Veracity.

1t Is beyond comprehension what fools
Z some men make of themselves when they get
. very angry, and especially when they get
up on their ears at their better halves.

While Mr.. and Mrs. David Robinson,
an aged couple, were returning ON Friday
/ evening last from the vicinity OF FrankStown,
I Blair county, to their home near HOLIDAYS
burg, the horse attached to the buggy in
which thcy We're riding took fright and ran
. down a hill about three miles from the for
mer place, throwing the occupants out of the
I vehicle, killing Mr.. Robinson instantly and
injuTing the old lady SO terribly that there
is no hope whatever for her recovery The
body of the dead man was removed to his
home and the injured woman was taken to
the residence OF MIS-. ilhcman, near at hand,

/ DR.. W. :. BittncT, artist. tooth pulcr
and city treasurer Of Altoona, has painted
very elegant and life-like portrait OF Gen
Garfield, the man whom Hancock proposes
TO sit DOWN on next November, and has,
or at least did have it the early part Of this
week ON exhibition IN one OF the large show
windows at BaltZcll < BOuss' store. The
Doctor also proposes to paint a portrait of
General Hancock, the next President OF the
United States, as soon as he can obtain
good photograph of the hero and statesman.
There are few better artists in the country
than DR.. BittneT and there IS 10 better sub
ject for his brush than the gallant Hancock,
although the Doctor, being Republican, is
probably not open TO conviction on that qUcs-
ton
Whatever diversity of opinion may exist
among Democrats as to the method adopted
to complete the ticket in this county, it can
not be denied that the meeting Of the County
Committee, ON Monday last was entirely
harmonious and that the gentlemen selected,
like those heretofore nominated. are entirely
fitted to fiji the positions for which they have
5ecnuamcd. We cannot but think, however.
that a mistake has been made in the location
of the candidate for Coroner, who should by
all means be a resident Of JOhnStOwn or vi
j cinitV. and when elected. as the entire ticket
undoubtedly will be- the probabilities are
I that Mr.. Douglass viii not lift his commits
sion, simply because there is not likely to be
business enough in his section to Justify the
outlay.
we have learned Of an astonishing cure
effected by the use of some of the mortar
from the chapel at Knock, Ireland, accom-
panied of course with earnest prayer and
implicit faith in the mercy of God and the
interpOsition of the Blessed Virgin but as we
have been promised the full particulars for
our next issue we forbear further comment
now, except to say that the lady I'm whose
behalf this wonderful miracle has been per
formed resides in Munster township and has
for many months been unable to lie down for
4 more than a few minutes at q time, the dis
: ease with which she Is afflicted. and from
which she is now almost entirely relieved,
I being of nature to prevent her from occupy
ing Tecumbent position for amy length of
time without danger OF snotherng to death.

-Johu II. Walsh, maChiuiSt in the en-
p plGV Of the {. ]. Co, JOmstOwn, met with q
Shocking death ON last Tuesday afternoon,
. while engaged with others IN lacking up
small engine, known as the Coffee Pot -
and which had been undergoing repairs and
was then being raised for the purpose of
putting the wheels under it. While this
work was in progress and Mr.. Walsh was
Wing on the ground with his head under the
aSh-pau, the floor upon which tine lacks
rested gave way and the locomotive came
down with its terrible weight and q fearful
effect upon the head of The unfortunate man,
which il fattencd out to a thickness Of not
. more than two or three inches, and of course
produced instant death. The deceased,
2 whose age was ahOut 80 years, was u widow

farm containing about three hundred acres,
ninety of which are in CleaTlield township,
this county and tire balance in The adjoining
p county Of Blair. There j. nothing rcmaTka-
bic about this, Of course, but what we want
to say is that Mr.. MancllIs planted on said
farm this year exactly three hundred and
eichty-twO bushels Of seed potatoes, and eX-
poets to realize not less than three thousand
bushels as a reward for his industry This
, IN addition to his other products, Of which he
. has also . large yield. Mr.. Maneilis is the
father of eight boys and three girls, nearly
all of whom are able and willing to assist
him in the labors of the farm, and hence his
ability TO produce such remarkable crops.
