press. This is the third number of the Rec

printed at the CarTOltown Ne1cS office. Why

speaker drew a dolOUouS picture of what
would have come to pass had the battle of

+ tory for the Union army : but the Intelligent
( conpoSitor' took it upon himself to SubSti-
tute the word glorious for that of ''doOr-

An unfortunate affair occurred in Cam
bria borough last week. a native of Poland,
named LambreSkie by some means got into
contact with Joseph Ream. The latter, it
; seems, was intoxicated, and indulged in bel
ligerent pTOpenSitieS. The Pole retreated to
his own home, whittier Ream followed him,
going so far as to the doorstep of the for
eIgner. The result, as was naturally to be
{ expected, was that Ream was violently eject
ed. He was thrown to the pavement and,
his head coming into contact with something,
/ his injuries ultimately resulted in his death.

brother Smith of the Indiana Messenger
{ accompanied by another citizen of that bOT-
/ ough gentleman named Ellis, visited our
I town on Friday last for the purpose of OBJ
. tanning all the cOme-at-able information pos
sible in regard to EbcnsbuTg'S water works,
which Indiana has mind to duplicate on
behalf of its own citizens. The visiting

: while here Brother Smith was the observed of

the editor of a country newspaper could ac-

he has the happy faculty of laughing and

ship was destroyed By fire. The family had
gone to bed at the usual hour, when Mr..
Wcakland, aroused from his siumbers by
some unaccountable impulse, saw the build
Iuo enwrapped in smoke and fire. 1t was too
late to save the property, but enough was
thought to have been discovered by him there
and thereafter to suggest the idea that the
: flames had been communicated from sparks
T from the guns of squirrel hunters who had
freduented his neighhorhoOd on that day and
late into the evening. The loss was about

VarInest svmpathies of all who know him.
