the Hancock and English Club of this place,
which contains enough musical talent within
itself to get up good band, flies and all.
We acknowledge the receipt of postal
card from Mn. Noah w. Shafer, Register in
Bankruptcy, informing us that the assignees
of Lloyd & Co. will pay Us the princely sum
of 80 cents being dividend of per cent,
on presentation to them of our certificate of
deposit or other evidence of Indebtedness.
Who will say after this that there are no blOat-
ell bondholders in the printing business?
The decomposed remains of an infant
child, deposited in a poplar box evidently
made for the purpose, was found buried in
an ash heap in Altoona on Saturday evening
last. The poor little waif had evidently been
dead about a month, but whether it was
case of infanticide or the result Of inability
on part of the parents to give it a respectable
burial, remains a mystery. The remains
were sent to the aImshouse for inteTment.
The residence of r. Bruce Petrikin, Esq,
of Huntingdon was invaded on Friday night
last by burglars who carried OFF the shirt and
pantalOOns Of that gentleman, which they
despoiIed Of diamond pin and small sum
of money, leaving the pants in the hall of the
house and the shirt in a neiShbOTing yard.
The thieves also attempted to force an en-
trance at the residence of Mr.. LoviIl, but
the bars and bolts were too much for them.
Still they come and still they go, because
they find there is no show for half the folks
who'd gladly stop and spend the heated term
on top these mountains blessed with purest
air and pleasant landscapes, rich and rare,
with coolest shades and balmy zephyrs,
spoTtive lambs and thriving heifers. We al
lude, Of course, to those who seek for quar-
terS here by month or week, and find, alas
there is no room for all who'd wish to give
our town boom.
John G. Lake, Esq, was the fourth in
cUmbcnt of an office in this county who died
in the harness, 50 to speak, the three others
who preceded him to that bourne from
whence no traveller returns being Mr.. Milton
Roberts, who died August 2Oth, 1856, while
occupying the position of Prothonotary, Mr..
Edward Glass, a member of the Board of
County Commissioners, and Poor Director
Patterson. whose death occurred in Johns
town few months ago.
The IIolIidaysburg Standard gives the
Democrats Of Altoona the very best of coun-
Sei when it advises them to take no stock in
the attempt Of the Tribune to demoralizc and
disintegrate the party in that city, but to hold
a grand mass meeting, cali some man from
the ranks to the chair, resolve to discounte-
nance all childish sqUabbling, and to hold no
more political association hereafter with men
who stand ready to assassinate, in political
sense of course it means their fellow Demo
Gratis.
If F. \. Shoemaker, W. Horace Rose,
G. /. Dick and ex-Shcriff Banner are not
ubiquitous, and we don't believe they are,
the Court reporter of the Altoona Tribune
must have drawn very strongly on his imag
ination when he pictured the aforesaid gem
tlcman as occupying seats inside the Blair
county bar on last Monday forenoon, when
we know to certainty that all four Of them
were pall-hearcrs at tie funeral of John G..
Lake, Esq, in this place and at the time
stated

DR.. Hugh Pitcairn, junior member Of the
firm Of Dem & Pitcairn, publishers and pro-
pretorS Of the Altoona Tribune. daily and
weekly, has hung ont his professional shin
/ gle in Harrisburg, where he proposes to
make his future home, although still retain
ing his interest in the ''print shop aforesaid.
In all our intercourse with the Doctor we
have found him genial, clever gentleman,
and as he is said to have few if any superiors
in his profession, we certainly wish him
abundant success in his new departure.
The Johnstown Tribune departs from the
Una-Lloyd truth, which is an unusual thing
/ for that paper, when it couples the name Of
! Judge Lloyd, Of this place, with those of
&IessrS. II. 4. Shoemaker, of Ebcnsburg and
Michael Sweeuy, Of Cambria borough, in
making up its list Of applicants for the posi-
ton just made vacant by the death of John
G.. Lake, Esq, Mr.. Chas. y. Latterner. of
this place, brother-in-law Of the deceased
and clerk in the Register and Recorders Of
fee, is, however, an applicant for tho vacant
place.
( Rev. J. y. MacConigle, who so ably fill
t ed the pulpit of the Presbyterian church in
4 this place for couple Of years, but who for
many months past has been stationed at
Parker City has received call from rclig-
fous brethren Of Oil City, where he preached
a very acceptable sermon on Sunday last,
but as he is we'll pleased with his present po-
siton it is notatall likely that he will listen to
the very flattering proposition that has been
made to him, Notwithstanding it guarantees
. a salary Of 81 200 which is 800 in excess of
I his present income
Col. 4 K. Mcclure, editor i'm chief OF
the Philadelphia Times, who has been a guest
at Cresson for the past three or four weeks,
paid our town n visit on Friday last and
returned to CrcssOn on the evening train
He expressed himself as being highly de
lighted with the pure air of our mountain
village, and as he is conceded to be one of the
best politicians in the State, the expression
of his confident belief that Pennsylvania
would cast her vote for Hancock was espe
cially gratifying to the Democrats who ha6
the pleasure of meeting him.
Mr.. Wm. A. Bryan, at one time Chief OF
the Bureau of Inspection in the Post Office
! Department at Washington, is just now so
iourning at the Mountain House in this
place, and proposes to remain with us fol
some time for the benefit of his health, wlicl
