! just when the the people Of Johustown
were eongratulating themselves upon the.
supposed final disappearance of the small
/ pox, the disease broke out in a new place.
/ The Tribune of Monday last says that Mr.
John Morgan was taken sick a few days ago,
and on Sunday his disease was pronounced
to be smallpox. Mr. Morgan is well leRown
I here and greatly respected, having resided
in this vicinity for many years. Some time
ago he removed to JohnstOwn, and has been
employed at the Gautier steel mill.
/ All the carpenters with the exception of
four who were engaged on the new Court

other points-rameIy, if not wholly, at

main, and they, as well as Mr.. Marks, the

month before the contract will be signed,

1t is likely that programme of dedicatory

next week. The work Of that sort is in CON-
petent hands.
We doubt the accuracy of the statement
made by the John stown Tribune that ''cer-
tain Ebensburgers" made an unsuccessful at
tempt on Friday last to secure the number Of
. passengers requisite to obtain a special train
to take them to that place to hear the pulpit
mountebank, De Witt Talmage, deliver a
/ lecture. 4 journey Of fOrtv-hve miles to
hear Talmage talk would be big investment
without any adequate return. Some persons
might possibly 60 that distance to hear Bob
Ingersoll, but Talmage and his platform py-
rotechnics-never.
They used to tell us there was such a
thing as a fire e-engine styled the "Dauntless"
in this place. Who is aware of the fact?
Does it not linger with Us as the memory Of
dream almost forgotten But, all the same,
there is a fire engine here, and a company of
good fellows at the back of it-too far back,
perhaps, to be seen. The slxeptic may sneer
and the unbeliever pull down his vest, butlall
you have got to do is to go to the engine-house
and see for yourself Some of these days,
maybe. the Company with big @ may
bring the machine out and let US see whether
it holds water or not.
L
der, put up by our friend James, Of the new
drug store. is, we are pleased to learn, meet
ing with extensive sale. The compound is
called the Lem. Davis Powder because it is
preparation of his own which that gentle
man has been using with great success for
years. As a horseman and farrier Mr.. Davis
has had a large experience. and we know of
no one in this neighborhoOd who better un-
derstands that noble animal and his diseases,
as well as their remedy. It is only natural,
then, that the Lem, Davis Horse and Cattle
Powder should take the lead.
One of the best friends we have in this
broad universe, Joe II. Gadd, of WvandOtte
Kansas, sends us a copy of the Wyandotte
Gazette with the following editorial item
marked, and for which the youngest com
positor," Joe II. McPike, wishes him to con.
slider his best bow made. Here is the item
"Joe bTcPike, son Of the publisher OF the
Cambria (Pa.) FREEMAN, and namesake of
Joe II. Gadd, OF Wyandotte, is perhaps the
Youngest compositor in the United States
Though but nine years Of age, he works at
his case a few hours every day. and does his
work very well, zoo"

county and three other gentlemen whose
names we did not learn, visited this place for
the purpose of inspecting our new Court

needed in Huntingdon and the visit was for
the purpose of seeing how successful such an
undertaking has been in this county. We

two hundred and remonstrances against

handed in to ProthOnotary Gates. The ma

Professor Riddle, Superintendent Of our

last Friday by summons sent by a sick rel
