The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1880-07-16

John T. Scanlan. Esq Of this place left
/ on Wednesday evening for Harrisburg,
where he is now Thursday participating
with many Of his old soldier associates in /
( reunion of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps
/ We believe Mr.. Seaman is the only member
Of the organization in this vicinity who has
taken any reunion in his on this occasion.
That it is never too late to do good is
/ well exemplifed in the case of Mr.. Vincent
/ Tonkin, of Cherrytree, who took unto him
/ self wife about a year ago, after having
| pursued the path Of single wretchedness for
/ nearly if not quite half a century, and as a
natural result was last week presented with
a bouncing boy baby, whose arrival, it is
/ needless TO say, has opened a well spring of
/ JOY in the heart of the happy Tonkin.
Two Altoona women named Rhodes
/ and Lantz deserted their husbands on Tues
! day last, the former taking with her $50, and
the latter, as is alleged gobbling up about
! $500, the property Of their respective lords,
with which they started east on the noon
train, no doubt intending to have gay time
Of 1t while the money holds out. How sharp
er than Lantz win it be for the wayward
( wives when the Rhodes they are travelling
come to a sad and sudden .erminationl
Mr.. Abel LLOYD, assignee of Isaac Craw-
ford, sold at public sale at the Court House,
on last Saturday afternoon, tract of land
situate in Cambria township, one mile south
of Ebensburg. Mr.. Ed. James was the pur-
chaser, for Hon. y. A. Barker, and the price
bid was S657. A house and lot on corner Of
Centre and Sample streets, this borough,
were offered for sale at the same time, but
as $1,000 was the highest bid that could be
secured, the sale was postponed until the
9TH of August.
We have heretofore announced that our
local military organization (CO. a, Fifth Y.
G. P.) had received their new two-band
guns, and now add that a short time since
their requisition for knapsacks, canteens,
cartridge boxes, etc, was duly honored by
the proper authorities. New recruits are
fiocking to the standard of Co. n in consid-
erable numbers, and the likelihood is that
ere long Captain Davis viii find his com
maEd filed up TO the maximum, if you know
how full that is.
