Following die recent show like that of

who cull those who never read o

most severely sold were Wm, Cook to

swindlers, which were placed in
hands of constable Truxal, who proceeded to Uniontown, taking along John
Bulebnrger as a body guard to make the
arrests.   Falling to find tho gamblers at

short time one who they supposed t'> In'

rescue, ami mir constable With his deputy came oul second best. The constable
judging that it. was nn impossibility tn

he swore out a Warrant before a Union-

been on a fool's errand. These six who
made information are but a few ofthe
many who tried lo heat   these   men   oil
their own games, am1 games old as the
hills; but, if another show was to come
to-morrow there would be plenty of fresh
Stickers ready to bite at any bait thrown
out. These persons belong to Unit class
who think they know It all, never thinking for it moment that these fakirs make
their living in this way, and were uerei

As advertised in tho Jul itx.u. S. II.
Barrett & Co., exhibited there monster
show hero last Tuesday. So different
from the' ordinary traveling show was
•his exhibition in pointof respectability,
and so gentlemanly were its manager
that we do not feel like passing it b*
without a notice. The constant rain the
night previous so detained them at Mc
Kecsport that their arrival was about
f!)ilt' hours late it being nearly 11 o'clock.
They succeeded however in giving a
creditable street parade in lime to give
the afternoon exhibition. Although
they had a bad night of it 111 ruin and
mud yet the horses looked well. Mr.
Willis Cobb, a perfect gentleman, took
timo to show us about and describe the
animals. The animals they advertised
Were all to be seen, and all well eared
for. The circus was such that the mosl
refined could have conscientiously wit-
iiessed it. The. ring was in had condition, and it was with difficulty that some
of theacts wereperforme 1. WillisCobb's
♦rained dugs Were a show in themselves
Miss Violo Hi vers, seated on her noble
Steed, was a perfect picture, and our friend
Allison from Uniontown was, to say the
least, considerably ''broken up." Owing
to tho lato hour of exhibition in the
afternoon the audience was not so large
life it would have been. But in the evening every available seat was taken.
The officers ain't empli iyeee treated everybody with respect and civility.
In conclusion we must say that. S. II.
Barrett and Go's show was the best one
ever exhibited in this place. Everything
Whs orderly and nothing immoral.

village called Alice Mines, named after

This town, hemmed  in  on all sides,

the Morowood branch of the s. W. V. a.
II., is remarkable from the fact that, it
seems to lie a little habitation within
itself, with but little or no communication with the outside world. Hut after
all there is hardly a better site for coke
works than here.    In view of the  many
facilities'offcrcd, Col. Schoonmaker, one
of the Connellsville coke kings, purchased a large tract of coal land from the
good Bast Huntingdon Gartners, and in
ring of 1880 he broke ground for
I the present works. The opening to the
coal is a slope of 100 feet. The slope is

Regarding Capt, C. F. Mitchell's candidacy for Assembly, the following complimentary notices appear in the papers
of his native county, Somerset:
"Among the candidal ■- on the Demo-
cfatlcside fo»' the nomination for the
House of Representatives in the county
rtf Westmoreland, we observe the name
of our fi inner feliow-townsman.Cliauneev
K. Mitchell. Captain Mitchell, although
born in Greensburg, learned the act preservative of all arts in Somerset,and stas
the   founder ot the   Dei rat,  printed
now in this 'own. He conducted this
paper for a nuniber ni years with fair
ability, in, 1 gave his opponents many a
hard blow in defence of his political
creed. When the wicked rebellion
broke out in lsiil, Captain Mitcholl was
•one of the first to volunteer his services
in defence ofthe Union flag, and in time
became the captain of Company A. loth
Reserves, which g-iv" gallant aid to the
good cause on a number of battle lie!,Is.
He was kind to his fellow-soldiers, and
ut id! times exhibited an intrepidity and
bfavBry above the ordinary soldier.
Should the Democrats of old Westmoreland send the  captain  to  Harrisburg,
they will honor Ihemselves as much as
they will the captain."—[Herald.
"Cliauneey F. Mitchell, Esq.. formerly
of this place, and founder of the Somerset Democrat, is, we learn, a candidate
for the Legislature, from Westmoreland
county. Mr. M. is woll and favorably
known here us a genl Ionian of sterling
qualities, nnd we doul I whether tlie
good people of our neighboring county
ean select a bettei'man i»s one of their
Representatives at Harrisburg. lie
combines honesty and integrity with
capability and experlelice, and his election would be an iiono* to the State as
well as to his constituency. If men of

and corruption."   | Democrat.
"Captain C. F. Mitchell, formerly captain of Co, A, loth l'l'im'.-i Reserves,the
