The New York Sun keeps pretty close
watch on ex-President Hayes and utilities
every opportunity to make life a burden
TO him. 1t pretends to have, at last,
found something to Mr.. Hayes credit,
and gives him the benefit of it in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
A pleasant and rather creditable story
about the Hon. Rutherford b. HAYES
comes from jamestown, Oak. 1t appears
that Mr.. Hayes has charge OF the payment
OF an annuity Of 5000 to cousin of mis-.
one Charles X. Burchard, an elderly per-
son, who is eccentric, if not insane.
Burchard turned up at freman's muster
in jamestown, where his strange actions
caused his arrest. The police searched
Burchard's pockets ana found among
other papers letter from the Hon. Ruth.
erfOrd b. Hayes Offering TO pay him his
annuity for 1856 Ia advance, II he would
discount 1t TO the extent of 81.
The pleasant and creditable thing about
this incident Is that Hayes was willing to
let the poor lunatc of for 81, instead OF
trying to shave him for fifteen or twenty.

The Philadelphia Record says: 'The
strike Of the postal clerks against Uncle
Sam was killed while it was a grub, before
1t got to be a butterfly. The idea OF secret
combination as means Of compulsion in
the interest of conspirators against their
employers by interrupting the public con-
venience IS notably illustrated in this post
Office scheme. FAIR play is better, aud
fair play is face-tO-face aud foOt-to- foot
game which everybody understands and
believes IN" The right Of officials to
organize, strike, and get kicked out, how
ever, should not be iniringed. Whenever
they ''get too big for their breeches" they
can be ''taken down button-hole or two"
and retired to private life, where they can
reflect on the vanity Of some very petty
earthly devices and pursuits.

A Few Pointers.

When the people Of Cambria county elect
ed ROber L. Johnston to preside over their
courts they invited the shameful condition
OF affairs that has befallen them. Perhaps
the carnival of drunkenness and crime
which follows the wholesale licensing OF
rumseliers may bring them to repentance.
The above we take from the Altoona Tri-
bune The crank who imposed it on that
respectable paper shows the most notable
ignorance. He did not know
That a majority Of the court resides in the
Johnstown district, where the bulk Of the
licenses were granted.
That the number of licenses Is smaller in
proportion to the population Of Cambria
county than when Judges Taylor and Dean
occupied the bench.
The carnival OF drunkenness and crime
spoken of is fitly answered by the records OF
Cambria and Blair counties.
In the last year in Cambria county there
has been a single prosecution for illegal
liquor selling, followed by condign punish
ment and revocation of license. In Blair
county court proceedings brisUle with them
at every term.
As to "crime, " our Quarterly Sessions are
only occupied with a portion of the four
weeks allotted to the sessions in the year
while in Blair county, notwithsts nding
Judge Dean is an able and laborious judge.
the sessions absorb the whole criminal term
and consume the week DEVOTED to civil cases
beside.
The Cambria court does not legislate. but
administers the law as they find it. Bat as
to drunkenness and crime" Blair county,
and especially Altoona, should keep pro-
fOundly quiet.

Another Barn burned.

On Sunday evening about four O'Clock
the large barn of MI. Samuel Reed, in
BIacklick township. together with its entire
contents, was destroyed by fire. Mr.. Reed
had a short time previous to the discovery
of the fire returned FROM church with Rev.
s B. Laverty, who accompanied him home.
A After putting Mr.. Lavertys horse IN the
stable and the buggy IN the barn they went
into the house and were there q short time
when the barn was discovered to be in flames.
They succeeded in getting Mr.. Laverty's
horse out and one steer and some few
trihing articles, but almost everything else
was burned. Mr.. Reed had in TIE barn
one hundred and fifty bushels wheat, three
hundred bushels oats, fifty bushels buck
wheat, twenty-five tons hay, lot Of corn,
ten head cattle, about fifty sheep. several
hogs and all his farming implements which
were burned. Mr.. Reeds loss is estimated
at 81 500, and be had an Insurance Of 81, 900.
The barn was insured in the Cambria Mutu-
al for 81 900, and the other $500 is on the
contents and is in the Kittanning Insurance
Co. The cause of the fire is a mystery. as
neither of the gentlemen was smoking, and
there was no fire about the barn. which was
some distance from the house:

ROBERT rURRAr DIES SUDDENLY.

On Monday afternoon. about half past nYe
O'Clock, as Logan Hidebrsnd. a butcher
from East COnemaugh, was leading a steer
and Vslking out the Pittsburg pike, ct the
west end of town he came upon the dead
body of man lying on the road in front of
the residence Mr.. William Fagan. He called
several men who were a couple of hundred
yards away, and when they reached the
body they imme diately recognized it as that
of Mr.. Robert Murray, an old and respected
citizen, who lived about a-half mile from
town and who had been seen passing the
house of Mr.. Thomas Davis about ten
minutes previous to his body being found.
Hr. Murray had been in town during the
day. digging the grave for q child at the
Catholic cemetery, and at three O'Clock had
assisted at the burial. He started home
about i've O'Clock, and on his way stopped
at the tailor shop of Mr.. Lewis Beynon,
where he left his shovel, at the same time
complaining that he was not feeling well.
but he did not intimate, and perhaps did
not think. that he was seriously III. It was
a cold, blusteIy day, with some snow on the
ground, ard his tracks indicated that when
he stopped he made two steps backward
and fell on his back, dying without a strug-
gle. Heart disease is supposed to have
caused his death, which, az above intimated
must have been almost instantaneous. Mr..
Murray was an Irishman by birth and came
to this country about thirty five years ago,
acquiring by thrift and industry little pro-
perty on the outskirts of our town, where
he had lived for number of years. He
was honest and conscientious in all his deal
inGs. was good neighbor and was respect
ed by everybody. He leaves to survive him
a widow. but no children. Deceased was
about 20 years of age and was a broth

Remains were inferred in the Catholic Gem
eterY, this place, on Wednesday. May he
rest in peace.

That communicating and foreign element
in the blood, developed by Indigestion, is
the cause of rheumatism. This settles upon
the sensitive sub cutaDeOUs covering Of the
muscles and liRameDts of the joints, causing
constant and shifting pain, and aggTegating
as a calcareous, chaiky deposit which pro-
duces stiffness and distortion of the Joints.
No fact, which experience has demonstrated
in regard to HOstetteT's Stomach Bitters, has
stronger evidence tO support than this,
namely, that this medicine of comprsben-
sive uses checks the formidable and afro
cious disease. nor is it less positively estab-
lished that it is preferable to the poisons
often used to arrest It, since the medicine
contains only saiutoTy ingredients It Is
also signal remedy for malarial tevers,
constipation, dyspepsia, kidney aud bladder
ailments, debility and other disorders. See
that you get the genuine.

"A man CD living three or four miles

driving an empty spring wagon, on bis way
home, when the body Of Mr. Robert Murray,
who had dropped dead on the road, was
found. Mr.. Morgan Hughes, who lives
close by, came upon the scene and suggest
ed that, as it was only short distance to
his house (abont one hundred yards), they
would take the body there and send for
doctor and see il anything could be done to
revive the man. As It would have been
much easier to take the body on the wagon,
the owner was asked to drive up and take
the remains 10 Mr.. Hughes house. The
reply was ''It is getting late and haven't
time" and he drove of. leaving Mr.. Hughes
and the other men present to carry the body
over the best way they could. Our opinion
is that man OF that kind would be very
