As Cambria county has never been hon
ored with the nomination for State Senator
on any ticket, and as her chance to secure
the prize was never 60 promising as it Is now
In the Democratic household, we hope that
all who have aspirations in that direction
viii not be any way backward about coming
! forward and announcing themselves, as it is
right and proper that the Democracy Of the
district should know who's who and what's
what on this important subject. Speak out,
gentlemen Its sugar plum worth having.

The ex-Sheriffs of Blair county held n
reunion Wednesday of last week, and had
a good time In point of fact, so good was
the time they had, so elegant the repast they
spoiled, and so many the bottles they broke
that they united in the appointment OF q
committee to confer with similar committees
4 from Cambria and Huntingdon counties, for
the purpose Of making arrangements to hold
= reunion Of SheTifTs and County Officers in
! the form OF 4 picnic next summer When
such q gathering is had may we be there to

/ Mr.. Peter Brown. who was convicted OF
selling intoxicating liquors TO minors at De
. cember sessions OF Court, anG who skipped
his bail and temporarily left for parts un-
/ known, on Tuesday evening last surrender
ed himself before Judge Dean for sentence
/ He will be permitted to pay S25 dne, the
costs of prosecution, and remain in Jail for

Two beliigcFent citizens OF the adjoining
townships OF Cambria and Munster met on
the public highway last Tuesday evening
and for some reason got into an animated
discussion with their fists during the pro-
. gress OF which the upper dog in the fight, -
so to speak, forgot to keep his nose out Of
the way OF danger, and the results were a
very unpalatable bite and the loss of = sms II
. portion Of that useful member. Next day
til, man who ''nose" less about it now than
when he went into the night appeared before
. Esquire kiHkPad, Of this place, and made
information against his asSailaHt for assault
and battery. \ warrant was issued for the
arrest Of the accused, but up 70 present writ
ing We believe he is still az large Should
he be taken and ? hearing follow, we will
give the names ot the parties in cur next
issue.
We copy the following Item from an *.
( change Gen. Jacob VI. Campbell, eX-
. Congressman Of Cambria county, is under
bail TO appear at the Dauphiu County Court
. for trial on 4 charge OF assault and battery,
I preferred by Constable Harry Roat, Of Har-
risburC." The explanation Of the foregoing,
/ as we understand it. IS that Roat is the indl-
7 vidUal who preferred certain grave charges
against General Campbell during the waI
. times which aftcrward, on the testimony of
i unimpeachable wine Sses, were found to be
. groundless that the two parties CHANGED Ia
come together IN Harrisburg, and that, old
recollections striking each Of them, the two
concluded to strike from the shoulder at each
+ other. We don't know who licked: but il
couldn't have been Roat, for if the record
goes for anything he was the fellow that
squealed.
