The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1880-03-26

The mercantile firm of John W. shar
baugh 6 Brother. Of CaTrolltowB, who made
their bow to the readers of the FREEMAN
through our advertising columns last week,
Is one which ranks second to none other in
the county, or out of 1t, for fair dealing, low
prices and honest goods, as every person can
testify who has had any business intercourse
with them. We earnestly commend them to
the liberal patronage Of such Of our readers
as do their shopping in Carrolltown. and if
any one who deals with them ever has reason
for regret 1t will be a sensation which none
Of their customers has ever yet experienced
The Altoona Tribune of Wednesday saws
that Adam Pfof was arrested in that city the
night previous on the charge Of stealing
horse valued at 500, and watch and chain
worth SO, from Mt. Luke Bush, OF Carroll
town, this county. Accused will be held to
await the action of our local authorities.
The same party (Pfof), who is said to hail
from St Boniface, was few hours previous
thrown from the alleged stolen horse, which
took fright at the escaping steam Of pass
ing locomotive, and was dragged about sixty
feet. when, fortunately, the stirrup broke
I and he escaped with no worse injuries than
severe cut on the head, an ugly cash on the
left leg. and various other less serious exter-
nal and internal contusioEs.
/ Mr. VIM Dishart OF Cambria township,
Z to whom belongs the honor Of having been
the first subscriber to the FREEMAN who
4 paid in advance more than thirteen years
ago, and who has been a constant patron OF
our paper ever since, has bought farm Of
one hundred and twenty-five acres in White
township, only twenty acres of which, how
ever, are cleared, with no improvements eX-
cept a log dwelling house, and intends NOV
Ing thtber with his family early next week.
The recent loss by fire of his barn, live stock.
etc, has crippled Mr.. Dshart to such an eX-
tent financially that lie feels obliged 10 go
into the wilderness and begin life, as it were,
in the new. That he may succeed in his
arduous undertaking, and that good health
may be vouchsafed to him and his for many
years 10 come, cannot but be the sincere
wish Of all who appreciate honesty and ad-
/ mire perseverance and industry.
We publish elsewhere an account from
the Altoona Daily sun of the sudden though
scarcely unexpected death Of our young
friend John c. Sullivan, City Treasurer of
Altoona, whom we knew long and intimately,
and OF whom it can with truth be said that
he was as near perfect IS it IS possible for
poor human nature to be-So perfect, indeed,
that we have no hesitation in believing that
he never wIlfully offended either God or
man lie was an honor to his widowed
mother and loving kindred n devout and
dutiful child Of the Catholic Church, and
having been consOled in his dying moments
BY the last rites Of the faith which he loved
so dearly and pUacticed so faithfully, could
have been nothing more than death to him
a welcome summons to a better and brighter
world. At least such IS our sincere hope and
prayer on behalf of one who was 4 model for
men and a III companion for angels.
A trap wherewith to catch rats and mice
was set in the domicil OF our friend and
neighbor, Lieut. James VI. Thompson, the
other evening, and thereby hangs a tale. But
the tale, Of necessity, must he short. The
trap was sprung, and the Lieutenant's brag
cat, John" was sent round from his store,
on High street, to his place OF residence, on
Centre street, to make short work Of the
long-tailed depredator. When the trap was
opened, it was discovered that instead OF
one rat, no less than three fuILgrown ones
held the fort, NIL which were ultimately de
posted on the floor. The,cat, John" then
proceeded to get in his work by running
away from the Stlll AIbHl OF IdlS presented
to him, and backing of into 4 convenient
corner, prepared to act on the defensive, it
I evidently not beingthe sort or entertainment
TO which he supposed he had been invited.
just at this moment occurred an episode not
down on the bills. : lamp set on q con
venient table, 10 shed light on these interest
ing proceedings, exploded with crash at
this precise juncture, scattering glass here
and there and snatches Of fame. to he sue
ceeded almost inst8nJaneousIy by darkness
Of deepest hue. The flames were subdued by
q half-dozen spectators present, and in the
confusion which eusued the cat "John" was
SO fortunate as to kill one Of the rats. though
there IS a possibility the work Of death may
have been done by Ben Thompson tramping
on the rodent with one Of his broad-treads
Mr.. ''BEAHER." &c. ONCE MORE AID
FOR THE LAST TpIE.-N0thing can ever be
gained in controversy with political pole
cat like a Bearer Of False Dispatches, " who
. (or rather the man who does his wrtino) in

J Ne1rs uttered more Wiiful and at the same
g. time stupid lies than could be answered be-
. tween this and the Fourth Of July next. As
the game, however, IS not worth the powder,
and as he fails to comply with the PROPOSE

political stripe, claiming TO he the special
? friends OF Michael J. Nagle, entered into an
p arrangement tn substitute another mans
name on tile Democratic ticket for Poor

to, were printed at the Nelos Office ten days
before the election ana quietly circulated
over the county, it drove away from No. Ma

a and rendered his defeat inevitable. The
vote i'm Barr township alone, where the
Bearer OF False Dispatches and few OF
I his special friends were supposed to have
5 some influence, shows c0ncluSiveiy who are
, responsible for the defeat Of hr. Magic.
. . The conspiracy against john RnTahaugh is
just the kind of political work in which the
} ; correspondent of the NeIrs has been engaged
for years, but we believe il is the only in
stance in which it accomplished its natural
aud legitimate result. It's failure at former
elections to meet his expectations was not
J his fault. however, for he gave 70 it all the
, energy ne possessed. and that il is needless
10 say, heretofore never amounted TO any
thing in political contest.
