We do this week what we should have
done last week, return thanks to our friend

You NAV Look! Look :" and 'See
See - as much as You have a mind to, but
you will discover nothing in the shape of an
advertisement from tire Young America
Clothing House, Altoona, in the FREEMAN
this week, Cause why, we haven't yet re-
ceived the new announcement aId don't
think it worth while to advertise winter
goods when we know that the large and
popular establishment of which we speak is
filled to repletiOn with the very best of wear
ing apparel for the Spring trade.
-MeSSrs. /. g. Cragin & Co, of Philadel-
phia, have kindly sent us seven OF those
beautiful cards, representing Shakspeare's
''SeVeu Ages of Man, - which they are fur
nishing to all persons who buy seven cakes
Of the celebrated DobbinS' electric soap and
send the bill thereof to their address. The
cards are indeed beauties, and it is hard to
see how any one can resist the temptation to
''thOap up on such terms, especially as the
soap, which can be bought from V. :. Bar
keT & Bro. IS one of the very best articles of
the kind in the market.
Mr.. James Keating, formerly Of Sum
MERRILL township, Is and has been for a,year
or more in the employ Of Sheriff Griffith at
Kane, Mexican county, with the manufac-
ture Of lumber as specially. On Saturday
last. while skidding logs, James was uHfor-
tuuate enough TO get one of his legs jammed
between two sticks of timber and badly con-
fused. \ letter from Mr.. A \. Jones to II.
kinkead, Esq, CONVEYS the gratifying infor-
nation, however, that the wound is nearly
healed and that Mr.. Heating will be ready
for duty again next week.
Every one Is acquainted with the old
nursery story about the hen that hatched the
ducks, and how one fine day they went swim
ming in the pond near by, and the induce
meutS she offered them 20 keep out of the
water; bat it may not be generally known
that whenever poultry has anything to talk
about in these later and more enlightened
days, their conversation always turns to the
benefits their species have derived from the
use of VI. b. Roberts Poultry Powder Sold
by f. James E5ens5urg, and all other drug
gIstS, at 2j cents per package.
We were mistaken about our young
friend VIM. B. Conway, Of GTeeDShurC, hav-
ing been born and raised in this county, as
stated III our last issue. Derry township,
WestmOreland county, claims the honor Of his
birth and bringing up, but that fact we are
sure, won't deter his Cambria county friends
from wishing him a safe deliverance in the
effort he is making 10 secure the Democratic
nomination for Register and Recorder in his
native county, Notwithstanding there are
eight others standing at the door who say
they will take sugar in theiT'n.
1t Is stated that when young Brady was
taken to jail, Friday last he was unceremo-
niousiy surrounded by gang of felow-pris-
onerS who proceeded to induct him into the
mysteries of the establishment. Foley was
Judge of a struck court, Murray prosecuting
Attorney, and the counsel for the defendant,
as we'll as the jury, came from willing and
jGcund bystandcrs. After a full hearing,
Brady, who was half scared out of his seven
senses. was found guilty. of murder in the
second degree, and sentenced to undergo i'm
prisOnment in any pententiary fol the term
of nine years and six months. Then the cur
tain was rung down.
5. .-Messrs. F. II. and G. II. Barker returned
from Maine on Wednesday night last, bring
ing with them the gratifying intelligence that
their venerable and respected father, Hon
A. \. Barker, who las been living danger
Ous,y i'll with brain fever at Fryeburg, in that
State, i now in fair way of recovery, and
will probably be able to return home i'm the
course of two or three weeks. This will be
welcome news to the many friends of our
enterprising and public-spirited townsman,
whose escape from death is due almost ex-
cIuSiveiy to the fact that he possesses a ro-
bust consultation and has never been on any
other kind of 'bust" in his life.
"A house aud barn owned by Mr.. Fred
erick Custer, and located in Conemaugh
township. this county, were burned to the
ground few days ago, involving a loss eSti-
mated at $500, on which there was no in
surance The house first caught fire from a
defective fiUe, and as Mr. Custer was at work
in one Of the coal mines near South Fork,
while his wife was ON visit to a neiChbor's 5
house some distance away, the flames event
ually communicated to the barn, which was
near at hand, and both buildings were total
ly destroyed, with. we presume, all their
contents, the few neighbOrs who assembled
soon after the fire broke out being unable to
stay its progress.
On Saturday evening last a man named
Frank Seper was found in a dying condition
at the side of the track in the vicinity of
HunkeT's station. on the Southwest railroad
in WestmOreand county. He was first dis
covered by the engineer of a freight train,
who had him placed in one of the cars for
care and medical treatment, but the unfOr-
tunate man died before reaching that place
He was a resident of Madison, WeStmore-
land county, aged about 2S years, and is sup
posed to have been stealing ride from StO-
Uer'S TO Hunkcr'S on a freight train. from
which he attempted to aight at the latter
place, nut falling under the wheels was
dragged along considerable distance, re-
ceiving injuries which caused his death as
above stated.
The Herald was printed on Wednesday,
. instead of Thursday this week-a little
the material comprising the Office was to be
moved on that or the succeeding day to the

ever, tie editor of that paper unbOSomed
himself thusiy on the Brady Carney affair :
