monday night iaSt, and goDbied up about elgnt
pounds of butter, plate and all, as we'll as a
crock of milk and some other provender.
We can't commend the method adopted by
the thief for supplying his bread with the
usual spread, but we nevertheless admire
the taste he displayed in going where he
knew the very best of butter was made.
The Carrolltown cornet band, which is
composed of some Of the most genial gentle
men in that really excellent community, in

the Juniata Valley for their coming picnic,
and with an eye to business VIII probably

what II can do when said Committee meets
In this place on the 10th proximo. Hope
their figures Will be as acceptable as we are
sure their music would be.

of the bent pins which abounded during
school hours in the days of his youth, as they
do even unto the present time, when he sat
down on the business end of pair of shears
the other day and cut deep cash in the
flesh of certain portion Of his system which

One of our Philadelphia friends and pa
irons, Mr.. Geo. W. Cope, former resident
of Johnstown and also Of this place, when
he very acceptably filled for time the posi-

we cannot too earnestly urge upon the
Democrats of the county the necessity of
turning out In full force to the delegate
election tomorrow and sending good men to
the convention, who VIII not only see that
last years fOolishness is not repeated, but
that the work of the convention is well DONE
the best possible ticket nominated, and the
not unfounded though we trust fallaciOus
hopes OF the opposition in this county dashed
to the ground with such decided emphasis
as to leave no chance for future resurrec-
tiOn.
The JohnstOwn BARRIERS have taken a
step in the right direction by resolving at a
meeting on Monday night last not to do any
more face-Scraping on the first day of the
week, commonly called Sunday Unlike the
Chicago convention, this is a victory for
DRILL VINO, however, Is not the same Blaine
who figured on that moment9us occasion,
but our former worthy town sman, Mr..
Abram BlaIn, who in this instance has
proven himself veritable Moses in leading
his brethren out of the land of bondage on
the Sunday shaving question.
We have made arrangements to send to
each of our subscribers with the next issue
OF the FREEMAN a supplement containing
tull report OF the proceedings of the Cincin-
natl convention, and this may possibly delay
the usual time, though wehOpe to get out on
Friday at the fuTtheSt. Even that, however,
viii somewhat derange matters, but as we
are entitled by common consent (Of ourself
and employes) to a week off about the 4th
of July, we will probably omit publication
the week following and issue the next paper
thereafter on the 9th of July.
The citizens Of Cherrytree were consid-
erably startled, as we learned from our wide
awake correspondent, J. o. c., a little too
late for our last issue, by the finding of the
dead body of man named Larry Lannigan,
whose remains were discovered at half-past
6 o'clock on Wednesday morning of last
week near the residence of Mr.. VIM. Smith,
with whom he had been staying since the
Saturday previous. A coroLer'S jury was
empanneled and rendered-a verdict Of death
from natural causes. Deceased was
bTOther-in -law of Mr.. David T. Smith, of
Cherrytree, and was aged about fifty years.
The Clearfeld Republican SAYS that a
beautiful dark-bay horse, belonging to Mr..
Wesley Bloom, of Pike township, Clearfie
county, and valued at $3.50, while attached
to a cultivatoT in Mr.. Blooms corn field Oh
became frightened and began
kicking, at each blow striking the solid iron
of the implement, and continued doing so
until his hind legs were completely mashed.
The owner Immediately procured a gun and
shot the horse so as to end his misery On
the Saturday previous Professor Hamilton,
of the New \ ork circus, offered Mr.. Bloom,
at CurwenSville, S225 for his horse, but the
offer was not accepted.
Mr.. Charles PrOsser, Of Minersvil.e,
aged about forty years, found himself con-
tronted by the Atlantic Express east while
crossing the iron bridge at JUhnstown on
Monday evening last, and in hopes of es-
Gaping the terrible death which threatened
him, lay down on the broad board between
the tracks, but unfortunately got his head
too near to the rail, and the result was that
the engine struck him and fractured his
skull. He was picked up and taken to the
JOhnstown station, from whence he was re-
moved to his home, where at latest accounts
he was lying in very critical condition with
little If any hope for his recovery.
The popularity of the FREEMAN, with
out any corresponding peTquisites to its pub
Usher, is pretty well eXemplified bV the fact
that no less than eight families in certain
locality in Cambria township borrow the
paper every week from one of our patrons,
and no doubt peruse it with as much pleas
ure and profit to themselves as it is unques-
subscribes for it and an injustice to the man
who prints it. How strange, indeed, that
such things can be, and O'ercome us like
summer cloud. when only one dollar and
fifty cents, you see would secure to each
paper and make him feel more proudl
The ice-cream festival ut tie Court
House on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings of next week, for the benefit of the
Church of the Holy Name in this place,
will be well worthy of a visit, or indeed
many visits from all who appreciate the
good things of life and have a disposition to
aid cause that is as worthy of assistance
as it Is in need Of it. The preliminary ar
have been confded to a number
of ladies connected with the church who
have had considerable experience in such
and as their best efforts will be used
to make it in every respect attractive and
ENJOYABLE, we entertain the hone that the
members of the church in particular and the
in general will look in on the
festival frequently and patroniZe it literally
during its continuance.
The Fourth of July will be celebrated in
CarrolltOwn on the 9Th and 9th, instead of
the Sd and 9TH, as was at first contemplated,
this new deal being neceSSitated by the fact
that the excellent cOrnet band at that place
has an engagement at New Washington,
CleaTheld county, on the Sd. The proceeds
of the two-days' festivities will be devoted
to the purchase of a large clock for the
in CaTroltown, and the money,
if any. remaining after that has been done,
VIII ne uSeu III repairing St- Joseph 5 cnuTcn
at Hart's Sleeping Place, one of the oldest
religious edifces in the county. We need
advise no one to attend the festivities at
CarTOlltOwn, for sure we are that all who
delight In such things will be there i'm full
force, knowing as they do that there is no
place like that place on such occasions.
