After considerable Squirming our con-
temporary. the Republican Costing, con-
T. II,- ii,
i'm its diagnosis. and that il, the G0Sling,
was Republican as the FREEMAN had pro-
nounced it, and on Friday announced that
hereafter il would be Il true Republican
Costing and support the party OF Lincoln,
Grant and Blaine. If the Republican party
can stand it, we see no reason why anyone
else should object.
Notwithstanding trains were kept
running on the Ebensbnrg N CreSSon

We clip the following pointer from an
exchange: What shall it profit the
country editor If he shall gain the applause
of the whole world and lose that dollar
You owe him for subscription For all is
vanity save the dollar. Yea, verify, man
shall not live by bread alone. but il i very
essential that he have little bread. and
whcrcwithal shall young man buy bread
if the dollar is withbolden? Brethren,
think on these things"

The Curwensville Monitor of the 18th
says: train of eighteen empty coal cars
passed over the MahaiTey extension Of the
Beech Greek railroad last Sunday en- route
to Patton. Cambria county. We under
stand that coal traffic Of the extension
will begin but that il will not be open for
general traffic for some time yet. The
treStle work at the llOyt tunnel will not
permit an engine to pass through but two
are employed, one on each side Of tho hill.
and the cars are pushed through by one
and caught by the other.
