1t IS rumorsd that one OF our young

The election of the whole Democr ATTIC

The Republicans in this county have

Of buying drugs to keep the moths out OF II.

gist James threw of All profits and agreed to
give the moth preventive at first cost.
| The Republican banner died very young.
Alexander NJ. White, who in old Por-
taGe railroad days was well-known In Cam

Take United States bill OF any de-
nomination and hold il up to the lgnt, and
| you will see two lines running across IL
| Iengthwise. On examination you will find
| these TO consist OF a silk thread, red one
| and blue one. Every genuine bill has
| this mark OF genuineness. Without these
| marks a bill may be put down as counter
| felt, no matter how good the engraving on
| it may be. No paper mill dare make that
| sort Of paper and that is the Goyernent's
! only protection on its currency.
AT the election held in Johnstown and
\ surrounding boroughs on Tuesday last the
/ boroughs of Johnstown, MIllviile, Cone

/ CoopersdaIe and GrpbIown, voted In favor
OF consolidation by an overwhelming ma
iority and Johnstown Will now become a
city of the third class. East ConemauGh
and Franklin, voted TO be left out but 1t is
thought they will eventually reverse their
/ decision. The consolidation OF the boroughs
Will comprise population OF q, 900.
About 10 O'Clock on Monday last
small vein Of gas was struck in the we'll
which Is being bored on the Charles Cain
farm In Carroll township. On Monday
| night the well was plugged and a small pipe
! inserted when a match was applied and the
/ gas burned freely sending up flame Of sew
eral feet. The amount of gas ecmihg from
the well at present Is not Of much value exN
cspt as an indication that gas exists In that
locality. The drilling will be continued
and We hope 70 hear some OF these days Of
/ their striking n rusher. The hole Is now
down to a depth Of twenty-four hundred
/ fees.
Secretary Kremer, of the flood Relief
| Commission, who was In this city on Sat-
uTday told story OF one of the many Incl.
| dents of the great disaster. In making up
/ the list OF applicants for aid at Johnstowu
recently, the Secretary came across the
| name OF a baby who had been ehristened
! "May Food" The child was born about
| two hours before the water swept down the
| COnemaugh Valley. When .he Hood
! reached the second floor OF the house IN
which the birth took place the mother and
/ her child were placed on a mattress which
was lifted to the top OF the floating house.
| During the passage from the room 10 the
! house top the babe fell into the water, bat
| it was rescued by its father. Notwith-
standing the hardships which II endured
during Its extreme youth, the little one
still lives and bears the very appropriate
name as above stated .-H1TriSburg Patriot
