eI6l20 preventative Tor rot IN potatoes. The
application of about double handful of this
lime to two bushels of potatoes as soon as
they are stored away, will effeetually stop
al tendency to rot. The lime should be
distributed as evenly as possible through the
potatoes. In view of the threatening de-
struetion OF the present crop by rot, the
/ remedy is worth a trial
Mr.. Reuben Fox, of Sinking Valley. Blair
county. who advertises number of Iseices-
I ter lambs for sale in our paper, has sent us a
lock OF wool almost as fine as silk which he
( clipped from one OF the aforesaid lamos
/ which IS only six months old on Monday last
Ihe wool measures full seven inches in
I length, and Mr.. F. says he viii pay all the
I expenses OF any one who goes there to see,
and give them a pair of lambs into the bar
B gain, il he can't show wool of the same length
and quality on the backs of all the lambs ad-
( vertised for sale by him. The lock of wool
] sent US can be seen at our Office by all our
friends who wish to examine it,
An ITishman perfectly sober and appa-
rently of sound mind, who was passenger
on the Mail Express train east from Pitts

preaching Loyalhanna Station. and proceed
ing to the platform leaped to the ground, the
train running at speed of about forty miles

: The remains of the unfortunate lad who
[ was killed at Johnstown on the Sth of last
( July has found another claimant in the per
son of a widow named Mrs Catharine KoTh,
OF Clearfield, who went to the former place
on Wednesday of last week and learned
enough about the little victim to satisfy her
! that he was her son. AS the remains have
/ already been inferred at JohnstOwn as John
ny Skelly, and subsequently disnterred and
taken to Bristol. Pa, and there buried as
Willie WOOdhead, only to he once more dis
inferred and identified as Eddie Seaburn, and
afterwards as frankie Daniels, the possibil-
tiles are that they will again be disturbed
and possibly removed to Clearfield, but
whether for final inteTment or not remains to
be seen. Certainly a sad and remarkable
career for a corpse.
The attention of our readers in Cambria
and Blair counties is called to the illustrated
advertisement of Messrs. Eicher & Latterner
clothing merchants of Altoona, which ap-
pears for the first time in our paper this week
The junior member of the firm, Mr.. G. H
Latterner, we need scarcely repeat was
born and raised in this county, and we are
sure that no young man stands higher in the
estimation of all who know him than he
does. This of itself should be sufficient to
secure for the house a host of customers
from Northern Cambria, but the FREEMAN
is specially anxious to see the new firm
prosper, because it is the only one in the
clothing business in Altoona which has she
good sense. as we think, to solicit patronage
through the columns of our paper We ask
our friends to bear this fact in mind when
they 60 to Altoona TO buy clothing for them
selves or their boys
"A little daughter of Mr.. Henry Fulmer,
of JOhnstOwn, was run over bv wagon on
Monday evening last and fatally injured.
She was sitting on the curbstOne in front of
her parents residence, when a team belong
ing to Mr.. Hoffman and driven by a man
named Liniugerand drawing wagon loaded
with ties for the passenger ra ilway came
along. The girl ran out into the street with
several other children, and approaching the
wa gOn between the front and hind wheels,
tripped and fell, one of the latter passing
over her body diagOnaliy across her breast
She was picked up bv bov and carried into
the house. but medical skill was OF no avail
and in less than half an hour she was
corpse. The driver of the team, Lininger,
showed himself to he more of a brute than
man, because, although he was aware of
the accident he never dismounted to ascer-
tain the extent OF the child's injuries or to
offer his sympathies to her parents To the
credit Of human nature such a creature is
rarely TO be found.
What is known as the tod Court
House has been partially demolished, 10 fur
nish material for the new armory, and the
balance of the building will soon follow the
same road. Except for purposes of rehabi- /
tatiOn Il is therefore practically useless and
having this fact in mind, a couple of enter
pI islug young men unedftDeG the corner
stone by the tedious process of subterranean
labor. There was a story ahoat to the effect
that bottle of whisley was encased in the
cornerstone, which nv many is thought to
have been the prevailing motive for breaking
the perspiratiOn on fellows not used to it.
The stone when brought to view. was found
to be nearly a square block Of granite aboat
two feet on the base and one foot in depth
10 the centre was drilled hole an inch in
diameter and couple of inches deep, and in
side this hole was found two ten cent pieces
OF the date 1914 No historical documents
nor anything else-not even the coveted bot
tie of whiskey-presented themselves to fur /

year 1881.
