Mr. Henry Maus whom we knew almost
from our earliest childhood as a kind-hesrt-
ed, pure-niuded gentleman. died at his home
. in Hollidays5urG on Wednesday morning OF
( last week, aged about 65 years Deceased
: was married for thirty-eight years, and dur
Ing that entire period IS said 70 have spent
not single night away from home. Another
remarkable fact related 0f him is that he IN
dulged in a railroad ride only twice ia bis
+ life, one occasion being when he went 10 Al
toOna n 1879 to see and hear the late lament
{ ed Horace Greeley. Peace to his ashes.
Mr.. VIM. Carney, of Munster township,
sold some beef to al Altoona man named
James Moran, who subsequently, declined to
pay for il on the plea that i was tainted
Carney thereupon brought suit to recover
but at the hearing Of the case stated on the
witness stand that he had sold the meat for
another Darty This was MOran's OppOrtu-
nity and he avaiied Himself OF it by prose
cutting Carney Tor huckstering without = Ii

49, NessrS I ( y. Rosenthai. of the Young
} America Clothing House, Altoona, have
sent us. too late for this weeks issue, an
advertisement pTOclaimng their purpose to
, sell all the OverCOGts and heavy weight cloth
/ Ing they have on hand at much lower rates
than ever, notwithstanding the recent ad-
vance in prices. There is no business firm
/ in Altoona or elsewhere who treat customers
more honOrably or honestly than the MesSrs.
! RoscnthaI, and when they say, as they say
? now, that they ale going 10 do 4 big thing
for their patrons, there IS no doubt about
them doing il every time. So don't you for
Z get it if YOU want to buy what they have to
sell, for money can be saved in the operation.
/ The JOhnstown Democrat and Tribune
! both publish what purport to be tTuo state
ments Of the rather romantic career of a man
: named MaheT, who died in that place on last
Tuesday night, but as each paper tells
! story that Is greatly at variance with the ac-
I seutial paFliculaTs. the only conclusion to be
/ reached is that the deceased either had two
+ romantic careers or that one OF otheT il not
both the writers drew very largely on their
imaginatious. We publish the story else
where as furnished by the Tribune, not be-
F. cause we esteem il the most reliable, but be-
cause It shows % a better advantage what

by way of Pittsburgh, in company with his
father. While en- route he was Overtaken by
2 telegram which announced the absolute
. destruction Of his dwelIing-hOuse the day
preceding The major part OF the furniture
and articles Of domestic utility were saved,
which reduces the loss to Il figure in the
ueighhOrhOod of two thousand dollars. On
+ this was an insurance of 81, 200. We sym
pathiZe with our young friend in this calamity
which has Overtaken him.
The fair and festival iE aid Of the Sum-
mityilIe Catholic church, Father DAWN pas
: tor, was brought to a termination last SatuT-
daY evening at Lahey's Hall, Lilly's station,
: when the gross receipts were found to foot
up nearly if not quite 81, 100. An exciting
feature Of the enterprise was the voting Of
an elegant sleigh to the most popular gentle
man OF the congregation, and after the vote
had been counted the following was declared
to be the result For James \. naher, S214,-
% for John Lahey Sl47, % for John Lape,
S72, 10. While we congratulate our friend
Maher on his success, we vet feel inclined to
to wonder what he is going TO do with that
sleigh this winter, snow being conspicuous
/ only by reason of its utter absence.

pair one night last week in fGgrdrte ds}ictU
at boarding shanty' kept by him at

/ A suit for adultery has already been COM
menCed, II our information IS not at fault,
but even that is lar from being the most de-
plOTable feature Of the sCaudaiCUs traUsac-
ton, as at least one innocent family has been
brought to grief and shame by the lecherous
doinEs OF a husband and father. However
much the guilty pair may deserve punish
ment, We trust for TIE sake u a greatly
TrCnCcd vie and husband that me case may
