These Banks are all under the supervision and control of the "Buffalo kiters" who wanted to secure the Central Bank of Hollidaysburg, consequently their notes should be regarded with suspicion. The safest plan to guard against loss at the hands of these "kiters' is to refuse all notes on their pet swindling institutions. -------------- Man Frozen A man named Walter, aged about 55 years, was frozen to death in Greenfield township on Tuesday night of last week, whilst attempting to go from Claysburg to his home, about three miles distant. When his body was found on the Friday following, a flask partly filled with whiskey was in one of his pockets, of which it is supposed, he had partaken and was overcome. His sudden death is mourned by a large circle of respectable connections and friends.-Hol. Register. ---------------- Mail Messenger Mr. Wm.

The Mayor fined the fellow $6.80. He departed for Tyrone on Day Express yesterday in almost as drunk a condition as when he arrested. About 12 o'clock last night a county constable arrived in the city, having in custody five tramps. He had caught the roadsters in a schoolhouse somewhere between this city and Blair Furnace, they having taken full possession of the seat of learning and its contents. When surprised by the officer they were toasting their shins about a fire made of school books, rulers, or whatever else of an inflammable nature they could lay hands upon. They were locked up to await a hearing to-day. -------------------------- A Young Girl's Leg Amputated About six months ago, Susie, the 14 year-old daughter of Mr. Joseph Biller, of Allegheny township, Cambria county, injured her left leg.
