Miss Teresa Harshberger, of Franklin
borough, this county, Is Christian in act as
well as in name. The children of Mr. John
Hoy, of East COnemaugh, were down with
the smallpox, nurse could not be obtained
and the mother was worn with watching and
waiting. In this emergency Miss Harshber-
ger, VINO had never had the SMALLPOX. went
to the sick room and assumed the place of
nurse, When the baby died she prepared it
for burial, ana the other children were faith
fully attended until they had recovered In

with the conduct of the people who drove
from their midst two men who had buried
the body OF a woman who died of smallpox.
On thursday morning of last week
Hugh Evans, an old and inOffensive man
and long an empOye in some capacity about
the Rising Sun hotel in Altoona was found
IN the back yard of said hotel in an insensi-
condition his face and body marked by
( bruises which the examining physician de-
clared suthcleni to cause death, and which
dld cause his death at his home on the fol-
lowing Saturday. His daughter Ella was
examined before the corOner's Jury and sta
ted that all she could learn from her father
owing to his exhausted condition when bro't
nome, was that some one had struck him,
and also that he had not been injured bv a
fall. The Tribune and Gail insist that
thorough investigation of the case shall be
authorities.
We learn that the plasterers expect to
hnish their work on the new Court House in
ten days, or, at the most, in two weeks. 1t
viii require three or four daVS of moderate
weather to enable the skaters to get through
with the tower. They were at work on
Wednesday, although the atmosphere was
decidedly sharp, and couple more days of
ike character will enable them to complete
their labOrS. The iron stairs, weighing in
the aggregate about fourteen tons were re-
ceived on Wednesday, and with them came
three mechanics to put them up in the proper
manner. The town clock will be put in its
place in the tower some time during the
present month. In the meantime Mr. Marks
the general superintendent, Is buSiIv engaged
on the necessary woodwork in the interior Of
the building.
