Our typo friend, Col. Theo. BuTchfeld,
OF Altoona, had the misfortune to he thrown
from his horse while leading the Fifth regi-
ment. n G. P, at the military parade in
Philadelphia on Friday last. and was consid-
erably bruised and shaken up, though, we are
glad TO say, not seriously. Politically speak
ing, we hope the AXE he Is booked to contend
with on Tuesday next will get away with him
more effpctually than any of the physical
aches which now effect him as the result Of
his fall.
The Altoona City Band has already
been engaged TO pav for the Tancred Com
mandery. of Pittshure, at the annual con-
clave Of the Knights Templar Of PennSylva-
MIA to be held at Lancaster in May next,
and 1t IS also probable that the same band
will accompany the organization above
named to San Francisco next August when
and where the national cOnclave is to be
held If the \. c. B. votes as well as it
plays there will be Democratic music in the
air next Tuesday
Lewis Bickle, an Allegheny township,
Blair county, farmer, appeared in Holidays
burg the other day with couple of stalks of
chocolate plant ten feet high and each stalk
containing about one pint of seed. Mr.. B,
who has been growing chocolate for home use
for several years past, says IL is as good as
can be bought in the stores and thinks chOco-
late farming would paw over there. Perhaps
IL would, but we know of nothing more like
ly to pay in the long run than voting the
whole Democratic ticket at the coming cleo
ton.
Our former tOwnsman Mr. Charles SUM-
neT CLARK, now city editor of the Council
Bluffs (lOwa), DGily NOnDdreil, is evident
" rising young man. BY an Overwhelm-
ing majority he was on the oath ultimO NOM
mat ed by the Republicans of Kane town
ship, contiguous to Council Bluffs. for the
responsible and highly remunPrative position
of township clerk Salary $3.50, 900 a month
more or less. Higher hOnOrs await him,
though If Clark should be promoted to clerk
10 won't be denied that he is getting along
with a jerk.
Our friend and patron, Mr. FL. vaupht,
has Just completed the erection of a splash
dam in Blackllck township for Messrs Mar
tin x StOneback, and MesSrs. WilIett & Hill
are at present engaged erecting a large shin
rFIn mil %
pose these improvements will have anv effect
on the coming election, but if the Democrats
of Blacklck and all the other townships in
the county turn out iE fun force on Tuesday
next there will he such Democratic victory
IN " Little Cambria" " as has seldom if ever
been surpassed.
We had a brief cali, but pleasant call,
Tuesday afternoon, from Mr.. Ed Call, one
OF Altoona most successful building con-
tractors and one of our far-out kinsmen by
marriage. Mr.. Call came here to interview
F. \. Shoemaker. Esq, i'm regard to the cree
tiOH Of neat and cOZv cottage for that gem
tlpnan, and we believe it is his intention to
commence the work next Tuesday afternoon.
His coming, by the way, prompts us to call
attention To the great importance Of getting
every Democratic voter to attend the eec-
tion on Tuesday next.
There is no reason to fear for the cleo
tiOn Of any candidate on the Democratic
county ticket, but to make assurance doubIy
sure II behOOves every Democrat to be up
and doing until the polls close on next Tues
dav evening. No better men for the several
offices to be voted for were ever nominated
i'm this county than MesSTs. CoffrOth, Nc
Donald, Horne, Luther, RoTabaugh. Weak
len and Cox, and the Democrat who scratches
the name of either Of them from his ticket
must have very crooked conception Of DO
litical honor, justice and duty.

as well as their planning mill, shingle mill and
the lumber yard, situated about one mile
from LlOydsville, in Reade township, this

Of the owners Of the property, is a we'll
known and much esteemed resident of AL
toona.

and accomplished daughter, Miss GuSSie, who
was led TO the hymeneal altar at st. Johns
Cath Oic church, that citv, on last Wednes-
day morning. by Mr.. A. Y. D. Wattersou, Of
Pittsburg. Want of time must be our ex-
cuse, If any is needed, for not attending, but
had we been there we could not be more sin
cere than we are in cOngratu iating the happy
young couple and wishing them an abund-
ance Of blessings in this world and felicity
never ending in the better world to come
The JohnstOwn Tribune SAYS that Chief
