Mr. Editor, before closing this communication, we desire to compliment you on the production of your new paper. "The Fulton County News" is certainly an ideal country newspaper and one that the people of Fulton county may well feel proud of. The people who take it will have in addition to the advantage of a city weekly, the State, county, township and village news; also the latest market reports, which, to our farmers, merchants, or anyone else who has produce to sell, means a great deal. We trust that it may be kept up to its present high standards: if so, it will be a great advantage to all who may read it, and will reap a splendid reward financially. ----------------------- AMARANTH School opened Monday, with our former teacher, Walter Stein, of Emmasville.

Accident--We learn from the Hollidaysburg papers that Col. John Piper, of that town, Assistant Provost Marshal, of this county, met with a serious accident on Monday of last week.--While driving in his sulky, one of the wheels came off and he was thrown out with such force as to dislocate one of his shoulders, besides sustaining other injuries. He is now mending rapidly. --------------- Notice.--Foreign notes will not be received at the office of the Altoona Gas and Water Company in payment for gas or water bills, inasmuch as the bank in this place will not receive them on deposit. BENJ. F. ROSE, Treasurer ------------------ Distressing Accident.--A young man named Morrison McCartney, a resident of Logan township, who was, for some time past, employed as a brakeman on a freight train on the Northern Central Railway, between Harrisburg and Baltimore, came to his death suddenly, a few days since, in a manner unknown. He would found dead on the bumper of a car on the train on which he was employed, with a severe contusion on his head. It is supposed that he was standing on the top of a car and was struck by a bridge which knocked him down, and that he fell in the position in which he was found. --------------- Thieves "Pulled."--Constable Ely has been doing a thriving business during the past week, in the way of arresting thieves who were endeavoring to escape on the trains. On Saturday morning last, he received a telegram from Huntingdon, requesting him to arrest a small fancy looking Italian, on a charge of entering the rooms of a couple of Hotels in that place, in one instance abstracting some $16 from the pockets of a boarder, and in another appropriating a gold watch and some money belonging to a traveler.--On the arrival of the Express Train Joe "spotted" the "larkey" and "pulled" him forthwith.--Great were his protestations against such treatment towards a man who had only been 12 days in this country; but Joe was deaf to entreaty, and insisted upon furnishing the stranger with lodgings in the "Lockup," until constable King should arrive and take charge of him. Constable K. arrived in the evening train and furnished the foreign gentleman with a free ticket to Huntingdon, and provided him with lodgings in the stone house with diamond windows. On Monday last, Joe received a telegram from Pittsburgh, giving the description of a boy, about 19 years of age, named Benjamin Gough, who had stolen some $45 from his mother and taken passage on the Express Train Eastward, and requesting that he arrest him. From the description given, Joe had no difficulty in "spotting" his game, and as soon as he cars stopped he observed him upon the platform and at once laid his "fetche cum takum" upon him and offered to provide lodging in the "Lockup" for the night.--The boy was rather taken aback by the suddenness of the proceeding and denied all complicity in the larceny. Finding that he was fairly caught, and that there was no getting out of the scrape, he "simmered down," and admitted little by little until he admitted all. His mother came on Tuesday, and took charge of him and conveyed him back to Pittsburgh. ---------------------- MARRIED On the 19th inst., by Rev. W. R. Mills, Dr. WALTER BELL, of Summitville, Cambria county, to Miss CELIA YODER, of this place. On the 12th inst., by Rev. A. H. Sembower, W. MARTIN BURKHIMER to Miss HENRIETTA WAYNE, both of this place.

HUNGRY LAD FAINTS Boy Collapses at Headquarters of Salvation Army--Starving Families Aided A 6-year old boy collapsed at the Salvation Army headquarters yesterday afternoon, after walking to this city from Lakemont, with his widowed mother. Want of food was the cause. the lad's mother had been ill for several days and had no funds to come to this city to get work, so, with her son, she started to the city on foot. Both mother and son were given food at the relief office and fare furnished to their home. Thursday the relief workers of the army found an Italian family on the East side starving. Food and fuel were furnished and the husband and father given temporary employment. A widow, who resides on Second avenue, was found badly in need of aid on Thursday. There was little fuel in the home and nothing to eat. Her young son was crying for food. Aid was given by the relief investigators. The car of coal donated to the Army some time ago is now exhausted and many demands are being made for fuel. -------------------------------- JUNIATA GAP The following persons were Sunday visitors at the home of Captain T.
