Boy Wanted.


Boy Wanted.
We have room now in our office for
boy who desires to be taught the printing
business.
MISSES MoLLIE and Nelly Myers left a
9:33 this morning for Oil City where their
mother has been for some time, and where
they will remain for few weeks.
FLIES have their uses. Their persist
ency in lighting on.iiinprotected noses
lessons the amount of piano practice in
summer time, when all the windows are
wide open.
Mrs. JOHN LUDWIG, whose death wast
noticed in the DEMOCRAT of Monday
morning, was buried in the Grand View
Cemetery yesterday. The funeral was the
largest that has taken place since the
flood.
Mr.. GEORGE w. Eye, formerly we'll
known citizen of Richland township, now
successful merchant at Nickelsville, We
mango county, was in the city yesterday.
He was astonished at the fearful destruc-
tion of the flood.
THE Altoona I'rt6une's correspondent
from Warriorsmark says: Mr.. Walk and
wife, of Johnstown, are visiting Mrs.
Walks aunt, Mrs. Harry Kinch
Miss ELLA MoKEEvER, of Johnstown, is
visiting Mr.. A. c. Hutchison and family.
Miss McKeever escaped the flood and is
safe, in which her many friends rejoice.
The new wagons now in use by the
Adams Express Company are improve
ments on the flood destroyed one. With
the additional assistance of Mr.. McNiece,
the efficient agent, the company is pre-
paired to handle its greatly increased
business in town.
ONE of the largest buildings in course of
erection is on the corner of Locust and
Court streets, on the site of Scott Dibert's
house that went by way of the flood. We
understand it is to be used as livery
stable and to be run by Scott and Super
intendent Duncan. From the size of the
structure we judge it will be one of the
largest liveries ever in town.
CLARA BARTON is still as active as ever.
Her humane work was carried ON in Paris
after the fall of the Commune. When the
Mississippi overaowed its banks in 1884
she appeared laden with relief Her work
In America, in addition to what has been
mentioned, has relieved the sufferers of
the Ohio floods, Michigan fires, Charles
ton earthquake, Texas drouth, Mount
Vernon tornado and now the awful calam-
ity at Johnstown. She is president of the
American Red Cross Society. The motto
of the American branch is: Relief in
war, famine, pestilence, and other nation
al calamities,"
The re.opening Of the saloons on Mon
day caused considerable hilarity in some
parts of the town towards evening. This
was to be expected after some days
of forced abstinence, and especially on
the eve of so many of the workmen, and
some who are not included in that class,
leaving town. Our visitors felt like hav.
ng jolly good time. But as to the wide
spread drunkenness and disorder reported
to Judge Johnston in an appeal "to re-
call his latest order permitting the re-
opening, we confess to have seen none of
1t in or about the DEMOCRAT office, nor up
to II to'clock at night, when the writer
walked out Franklin, up Main, and out on
Adam street to his lodging quarters.
The Oaklahomas from Chicago, are
coming in now by the train loads. A
large lot of them was unloaded from the
B. s. o. cars yesterday afternoon near the
brick depot. And now after examining
one of them, with its fine shingle roof,
that is put up near the old stand of
Stephen Quirk, we fail to see the justness
Of the adverse criticisms bestowed upon
them. Judging from this one we do not
hesitate to say they are cosy and comfort
able, and much better than nineteenth of
the board roof ones made out of rough
green lumber. Two of them joined to-
gether give ample room for the comfort
able accommodation of any ordinary
sized family. Under the circumstances
they will be boon to scores of families.
