On Thursday evening the barn of Joseph Owens of Cambria township burned to the ground. While the loss was a heavy one the particulars could not be learned at the time of going to press. Mr. James Westrich of Elder township called at this office on Wednesday. It was learned that many children in the vicinity of Hastings are sick with the measles. The disease in that locality is usually severe. On Thanksgiving day, following the usual custom, union services will be held in the court house at 7:30 p.m. The sermon will be preached by Rev. Dipner, the new pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. All the other ministers, however, will take part in the services. About the first of December George Porch will open a piano and music store in the new addition to the Barber building. Mr. Porch is well known in this vicinity. He was formerly associated with Clark Porch in Johnstown, but recently disposed of his interest in that section to his brother. Paul Holacker, a Gallitzin man, has been brought to jail at this place to await a hearing at the next term of court on the charge of violating the mining regulations of the state. Mine Foreman F. A. Ferniss made the information and alleged that Holacker entered the mine of the Webster company at that place without permission. While out on Hickory Ridge near his home in Allegheny township recently, Edward Lenz shot a large American eagle, but did not kill it.

It was sent to Coalport to be mounted by a taxidermist. The eagle was purchased by James P. Brennen.
