There is borough ordinance which for
bids the throwing Of ashes on the streets
under the penalty OF q certain fine. During
the present winter this ordinance seems to
have become dead letter, the streets being
dotted with piles Of the prohibited matter

forced OF expUnged from the statute-book
The Altoona Sun, through 3 correspond
ent, charges gross mismana cement in the
conduct OF the Blair county Almshouse as
well as inhumanity toward the inmates
Similar charges used to be rife against the
conduct of our own AlmShouse but-thank

While in Harrisburg the other day at
tending the meeting of the Pennsylvania
Editorial Association we hung up our hat at
the Bolton House. which it is truth to say is
losing none of its well-earned prestige under
the efficient management Of Mr.. e. III. Kemp,

certainly well pleased with everything about
the establishment, and can cheerfully recon-
mend the house to all our friends who may
have occasion to visit the State capital.

history of Cambria and Clearield counties.
