Our young friend and patron. Mr. Tol,p
EIcKetts, of Reade township. writes TO say
tllaJ Whiic in attendance last week at the
NeStmOreland county fair he purchased sev-
eral head Of long wOoled CotswaId sheen for
which he paid big price, and expects i'm q
lew years to be able to furnish his neiehbors
with the best wOOlpTOducinc sheen ever
raised IN Cambria county. Mr. Ricketts, de-
votes great deal of attention to raising
stock of this kind, and seldom has n smaller
flock than fifty head.
On Tuesday night of last week. FnOs
cummings, NestmOreland county farmer
was confronted by footpad with a drawn
pistol while riding alone near JOpan's Ferry
and the demand was made for his money or
his life. Mr.. Cummings threw his welLflled
pocket-bOOk into the darkness and dismount-
Ell. The highwayman searched the farmers
pockets and finding no money nut uD his MS
tol and logged down the road. On the follow
ing day Mr.. Cummings returned to the sDOt
and found his money
Chairman McMullcn has called a meet
ing at Chest Springs on Saturday evening of
next week, as we learn from our friend Frank
Cramei member of the Democratic County
committee, but up to present writing we
have TO knowledge as to who the speakers
VIII he, though good ones will no doubt be Sc
cured for the occasion. Chest Springs and
vicinity can JT0t out as large a meeting as
any uiaIisJ ia ,Ec county, and it is to be
hoped taGt the Democrats will not forget to
, do tie trOttlng on this occasion.
The Ebensburg correspondent OF the
Johustown Tribune draws on his depraved
Imagination very largely when he ntimateS
that tine FREEMAN would very likely have
blamed the Republicans for deSpOiing that
ucciy-ciliseled block Of Ohio stone had not
the perpetratOr 'Deen discovered in the per
son Of hoy so young as TO probably be ire
SpOnsible for the commission of the bad act. d"
such rawlings come with i'll grace from any
body but a fool OF a knayc. and we prefer to
believe that the writer in question don't be
long TO either Of those classes.
Thomas -. Smith died in Philadelphia
on Monday last, in the 69th year Of his age.
He was q brother of DR.. William y Smith, a
well known former citizen of this place but
for many years past a resident OF Philade-
pIta The deceased was a lawyer, and be
tween 1910 and 1861 had been clerk III the
Orphans Court clerk i'm the Prothonotary' 5
office, and Deputy Sheriff under five SheTiffs

years he has practiccd his profession. He

universally esteemed and respected.
We had very enjoyable visit Thursday
morning from Messrs. VIM. r. Teller of the
BrockerhnfT House, BellefOnte, and Richard
j Hughes. of south Fork, two well known
and exceedingly s0ciable gentlemen. What
made the visit still more agreeable IS that
both parties subscribed for the FREEMAN
and paid six months in advance. The vote
of our BellefOnte friend, it is pleasant note,
Is always d Teller for the Democratic cause,
bUt we regret TO say that the other gentleman
Hughes to the Republican line at every
stroke. NIore's the pity for the newer.
The second street parade Of the EbeHs
burg Garfield and Arthur Club was the order
ON Saturday evening last About one nun
dred and sixty torches were IN the process ION
a large number of them being borne by
youths of very tender years. subsequently
addresses were delivered in the Court House

-Nessrs John Finn, Of Janesville, whC
oIaddeEed our heart by subscribing for the
FREEMAN and paying in advance, and Franz
Bulger of HOutZdale, two OF the best Demo
Gratis and most genial gentlemen Clearhel'
county can Law claim to, were in town Tues
day night and part of "Wednesday, and W.
only regret that the election news was not O
n nature to cheer them on their homeWar'
trip overland. They left Us full OF hope
however. for the November battle, when W.
are bound to get the Bulge-r something els
on the RAIDS, if a firm determination on par
. of the Democrats in general, and OF our tW6
friends in particular, 10 pick their fihh-t
and fire again, is any omen OF success
1t is the general impression IN thls com
munity that the man who used iahgliag'
more expressive than polite and made
public exhibition Of his inslgnlty, becauS
some mischicvous wag chalked the suggeS
five figures "32g'' on the front door OF nj
business establishment, would have saYe'
his own credit and prevented a very dlsgrace
fuI scene on one of our principal streets II n
had accented the situation in the same spIri
as did others of our citizens. That he dIdn
do so however, was no excuse for the sutse
Guent indgnity put upon him by smearlni
his door and doorstep with filth, ana th'
dirty whelp who committed this latter oul
rage richly deserves to be severely deal
with. -.
