The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1880-02-27

I MI. Il. ID. Hest, OF the Mountain House,
has purchased the interest of Mrs. f. J.
/ Mills, now of Kansas, in the estate of
/ Stephen Lloyd. deceased, which, as our local
| readers well know, is located at the west end
| of Ebensburg. This means another summer
resort in our town, provided of course the
| interests of the other heirs can be bepurchased.
1 Few if any there are who woald not as
soon live as die, and o little '1iver," but as
all men, which of course includes all women,
must die sooner or later, it is pleasant to
, learn, as we do from the Carrolltown Ne1cs,
that Messrs. c. A. * S. II. Buck, under
takers of that place, have just had built for
them in Altoona ''the finest, most elegant
| and costly hearse" the editor of the NsaOs
has ever ''seen in Cambria county,"
Mr.. Al, Ward, of this place, is after the
position of census enumerator for EbensbuTg
and parts adjacent with an exceedingly sharp
stick, and if he don't knock the persimmons
il will be because some other chap, If there
is any other chap seeking the appointment
has longer pole than he possesses. Al. him
self only counts one aud probably will never
count more than one in such an emergency,
being evidently a confirmed bachelor, but
for all that there is no discount in his ability
to count other peoples babies and sich like
1t may interest antiquarians to learn
that Mr.. Con. O'Neill, Of Munster township,
has in his possession a sword which had
been worn in Ireland by chieftain of the
olan O'Neill some three hundred years ago,
and which has been handed down from sire
to son of the O'Nein blood, and preserved
with becoming reverence, through all the
many generations which have come and gone
since this relic of antiquity was first un-
sheathed in defence Of the rights, real or
presumed, of one of the many petty kings
who ruled over the ''Gem of the Sea- at that
early day.
We had the pleasure of a call on Monday
from Messrs. Eugene and II. c. Litzinger
the former of Allegheny township and the
latter of Barnhart's Mills, Butler county,
where he is engaged in the grocery business
though he has an interest in one or more oil
wells, the two ayOcatiOns, we are glad to
! learn, being source Of revenue which is not
to be sneezed at. Both gentlemen are SONS
of VIM. Litzinger, Esq, prominent and re
spected citizen Of Loretto, who takes care to
} furnish the FREEMAN to all his children at
home and abroad, and four copies of which
he pays for invariably in advance.
We bought couple of rsrrels Of flour
the other day from Mr.. II. j. Eckenrode, of
the CarrolItown steam Touring mill, and
deem it an act of simple justice to that gem
tleman to say that better article never
gladdened the hungry stOmRchs of our nu-
merous household. The flour in question
makes as sweet bread as we ever ate, and
what is more to its credit, the bread remains
fresh and palatable even to tho last crumb.
We can therefore recommend it to all our
local patrons as an excellent article and fully
as cheap, If nos cheaper than other first
class brands sold in this market.
We are sorry to record the death in
Johnstown, on Sunday last, OF Mrs. Hugh
Bradley, a lady whom we knew for many
years as a most exemplary wife mother and
neighbor, well as devout and faithful
member of the Catholic Church. She was a
cousin, il we mistake not, of Hon. John
! Reilly, Of Altoona. The disease to which
she finally succumbed was consumption,
with which she suffered for over two years.
Her remains were taken to New Florence
Tuesday forenoon for interment, after Re-
QUEEN High Mass at St Johns church,
JOhnstown. May her soul rest in peace.
To the Catholic congre cation at GAllitzin,
which Of course includes Tunnelhill, where
inc CnuICE IS really IOcaleus as "clt as
Bennington and other localities in that vi.
cinity, is due the credit OF having contributed
S937 to the suffering people Of Ireland-a
sum which exceeds by nearly 5000 the amount
raised at st. PauIs cathedral, Pittsburg, and
is, we venture to say, much larger amount
; than has been collected for the purpose in
any community of like proportions in the
United States All honor to the generous
. people who have so nobly responded to the
cry of their famine-stricken brethren
About one o'clock last Tuesday morning,
DIR. d. W. Evans, Of this place, was sum-
moned to pay a professional visit to Mrs.
John T. Williams, siEce deceased of Cam
bria township. Att Knorr's tannery, a cou-
pie OF miles out, the horse ridden by the
Doctor slipped on some Ice in the road and
fell, throwing the Doctor to the ground with
so much violence that his right arm was
fractured above the elbow and near the head
| Of the bone. The fracture was reduced by
DR.. Kcim, and we understand the patient is
doing as we'll as could DC expected, though
he must necessarily be confined to the house
for some weeks to come.
John LeigEty, a man OF some means,
/ dice in Fulton county about seventeen years
! ago, and his property was disposed OF by a
son by his second wife In 1876 Mr.. William
Leighty of this place, whose mother was
John Leighty's first wife, and whom the hus-
/ band deserted not long before her death, in
stituted proceedings TO have the party who
I bought his fathers real estate elected there
( from, but failed to make good his claim. He
then sued the widow of his father for con-
siderable sum Of money and interest, but on
. Monday last this case was also decided
against him in the Fulton county court, and
( he has to pay all the costs.
! A letter, accompanied by late copy of
/ the Salina (Kansas) Journal, informs us
I that our esteemed friend VIM. R Gels, OF
4 that place, has fully recovered from his re-
I cent Illness, and has embarked in the real
I estate business as the successor in that par
tfcuIar department of Messrs. Faulkner &
. Wildman, who will henceforth devote their
! entire attention to the insurance business
I 1t is scarcely necessary to add that ''Billy'
has an abundance of "get up" in his COM
| position, and as he has already established
/ reputation in his western home for fair
/ square dealing, there can be no doubt about
I the success of his new venture-a consumma-
| tion wished for By none more devoutly than
ourself
