70 SPEAK. IN a caro- IN anOI0er cOlunn an
nouncing his candidacy for Assembly on the
Democratic ticket This is. of course, no
news to a majority of his political friends in
this county, as it has been known for quite
a while that Mr.. Horne has his weather eye
on the coveted prize, which, we are free to
say, would lose nothing by falling into his
hands.
A heifer belonging to Mr.. Thos. L. Jones,
of the East ward gave birth last week TO a
fine, healthy calf on the day before she had
attained the remarkably precarious age of
thirteen months. AS an editor friend down
the road said in his paper last week about
the twenty-fifth anniversary of a certain
married couple in his town, as genera thing
such an event happens once in lifetime.
The beifeT is a half Jersey, and a whole
prodigy.
Mrs. DR.. G. E. BRENNAN, of Altoona, die0
very suddenly on Thursday evening Of last
week, aged nearly 80 years. The deceased
lady was daughter or our esteemed friend
5. II. Smith, Esq, formerly of Johnstown,
but for a number OF years past an energetic
and prosperous citizen of Altoona. She was
an excellent woman and a sincere Christian,
and many indeed are the hearts that have
been made sad by her sudden and unlocked
for demise.
We learn from the Indiana Messenger that
Mr.. Peter Garman, the owner of Garman's
mill, in Susquehanna township, this county
has sold his valuable property there for nj
teen thousand dollars, and has purchased
reside in the future. Mr.. Garman is an en-
ergetic business man, and his removal from
that section of the county in which he has
spent so MANY years of his busy life will be
great loss 20 its people.
The shockinglv mutiated remains of an
unknown man were found scattered along
the track i'm the p r. r. tunnell at GalitZin,
this county, on last Thursday morning
From a passbOOk and other papers in his
possession it was learned that his name was
Michael ia a
and that he lad been in the country only
about one month. His remains were inter-
red at the expense Of Blair county, that por-
tiOa of the tunnel i'm which he was killed be-
ing in said county. His age was about 80
years.
Our friend and patron, Mr.. Joseph w
Prngle. of CrOvie township, has accepted an
agency from Rochester On. 7. ) nursery for
the sale OS fruit trees, ornamental trees, etc,
and will soon commence canvassing the
county for orders to be filed the coming Fail.
Mr. Pringle knows as much about fruit trees
as ny gentleman of our acquaintance, hav-
ing no less than three hundred choice bearing
apple trees on his own farm, and as he IS
strictly reliable and truthful i'm every respect,
no one can be deceived by dealing with him.
Jos. R. Higgins of Altoona, was struck
bV an express train west, hurled fully htty
feet and instantly killed at Manayunk sta
tiOn about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning last.
The unfortunate man, accompanied by two
Of his neigh bOrs had gone to Manayunk OF
a fishing excursion. but instead of going di-
rect TO the river after alghting from the train,
as his companions did. he remained on the
track, despite their warnings and calls, until
the express west came along with the shock
ing result stated. Deceased was aged about
65 years and leaves a wife and one son.
Co. A, Fifth Regiment, Y. G. P, of this
place maintained its well earned reputation
for thorough discipline, good marching and
becoming, conduct al the legImental inspec-
tion in Altoona on Friday last 1t had the
misfortune however, to lose its commanding
officer, Capt. s. w Davis. who bv right Of
! succession, as well as for eminent fitness, was
chosen Major of the regiment. C5ce John w.
WOleslagle, resigned. Who is to succeed the
Captain as commander of the company re-
mains an open question, the illness of First
Lieutenant Humphreys and the lack Of time
and inclination on part of Second Lieutenant
. Thompson seeming to count both those gen
tlemen out.
The HolIidavsburg Standard SAYS that on
Tuesday evening of last week as the VIII
liamshurg train, bound for the irst-named
place, rounded sharp curve near Manning
& Lewis stone quarry, between FTankstOwn
and HOllidaysburg, Engineer Snyder was
Mortified to see sitting on the ties immediate
" in front of him a 3-veaT-Old child of Mich
ael Morgan, who resides at the quarry. It
was impossible to stop the train until it had
passed the spot where the child had been sit
tiDg'and the engineer went back 20 make an
investigation with a quaking heart. a pOr-

The Commissioners, under The act of As
sembly for the erection Of the State Reform
atOTv, at Huntingdon, originally designed as
the Middle PeniteutarY, opened the bids for
constructing a certain portion of the Reform.
atOTY on Monday of last week. There were
nine applicants for the work whose bids
ranged from S133. 900, the lowest, to 5000 600,
the highest, and the contract was awarded at
the first named sum to Mr.. Henry Shenk,
who built the new Court House in this place.
Mr.. s. intends to commence the work at once
and push It rapidly to completion. It is es-
timated, we believe, that it win cost between
five and six hundred thousand dollars to COM
plete all the buildings according to the plans
of the architect.
