One of the most thriving industrial es-
! Establishments In CarrolltOwn is the wagon
manufactory of Messrs. ID. &. Wetzel Il Son,
: whose superior skill and workmanship is am
ply atteSted by the fact that they have made
and disposed of not less than thirty-siX road
and spring wagons since the beginning of
the year, besides doing a vast amount of re-
pairing and other work in that lire. No bet
ter evidence than this could be adduced in
favor of a firm that is well deserving of the
patronage and prosperity with which 1t Is
favored. May it ever thus be with them.

A block of Ohio stone intended for some
part of the new Court House, and which
weighs four tons and half broke down the
wagon provided to haul it from the railroad
depot to its place Of destination, on Thurs
day last. The wagon was Repaired. and the
following Saturday the vast mass was safely
transported to where il belonged. McSsrs.
John \. Blair and Evan Michaels have the
contract for hauling all the Ohio stone from
the depot to the site Of the new building, and
they are unanimous in declaring that four
and -a-half ton stone split in the middle is full
" as much as they care about wrestling with.
Rev. Ferdinand kitteil. of Pittsburgh
eldest son of Mrs. Margaret Kittcil of this
place, has invented a bedStcad for invalidS
which is said to be not only the plus ultra
OF cOucheS Tor the sick and injured, but alSOa
great convenience to those who are detailed to
attend persons so afflicted. The Rev. Faith
or calls his invention the Mercy BedStcad,'
and has patent pending therefor. One or
more Of these bcdSteadS are now in use at
the Mercy Hospital, Pittsburgh, and are said
to work like charm. We congratulate our
Rev friend on his ingenuity, and hope the
common misfortune of inventors may not be
his.

Jacob l.. Harold, who at one time was
well If not faVOTably known ~ the greatest
coroner Cambria county ever had and who
recently Topped from Hancock to Garfield,
has, aS he alleges, been discharged from the
Prothonotary'S office at Greensburg for turn
ing his political coat. Such, at least Is the
story told by the Pittsburgh CQR'merctot- Ga
zette which calls him a wounded veteran and
attempts to make martyr out of him, but
with what success is best told by the Johns
town Tribune, which says The il simply
disgrace to any party, and Is not wanted in
the Republican ranks. PaTadinG him as
Orable soldier, for Harold was a disgrace to
the service, was not wounded, and never did

him that he must not only face the music, hut

/ A monster Democratic meeting and pole
raising was held at Portage on last Saturday
afternoon and evening. when it Is estimated
that from One-and-a-half to two acres Of peO-
pie put in an appearance. The meeting was
presided over by =. MGOugh, Esq, with
MeSSrs John Itcl, Valentine CTamer, J. :.
+ Kiel and VIM. James as Vice Presidents, and
MeSsrs +. Reilly, James Itel and p. ID. Skci-

cred by James VI Laughlin, j. w Wcakland,
W. III. Rose and James Walters, ESqS., all,
we believe. of JOhnStOwn, and the music was
furnished by the Junior O. I. y. VI. cornct
band of the same place. The pole Is a stout,
straight and Stalwart hickory, 122 feet in
height and was raised Just as easily as Han
cock will be elected in less than a month
hence. The meeting, which waS,a very spir-
tied and enthusiastic one, was somewhat an

An industrious Young man of this place
