The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, March 14, 1861 Volume 2, Number 30 Local and Personal Our worthy Representative, Hon. A. C. Mullin, was in town the latter part of last week. Titian J. Coffey, formerly of Indiana, has been appointed Assistant Attorney General for the United States. A new paper, to be called the WORKINGMAN’S ADVOCATE is shortly to be issued from Huntingdon, Pa. Mr. Daniel C. Zahm has retired from the DEM. & SENT., and is no longer its publisher. The publication of the paper will be continued for the present by the editor, C. D. Murray, Esq. Success to us all, friends. On Saturday evening, James Cramer, conductor on the Hollidaysburg Branch Railroad was presented with a beautiful gold watch as a testimonial of the esteem in which he is held by the citizens of that place. A company of Zouaves was organized in Altoona on last Saturday night. Among the officers is Capt. Richard Crozier, formerly a citizen of this place, and a member of the Cambria Guards during the Mexican War. George Talbot, convicted last week of burglary, was sentenced to pay a fine of five dollars and undergo an imprisonment at the Western Penitentiary for the term of four years. The stolen goods were restored to their owner, Mrs. Fromald of Johnstown. The connection of Col. James M. Swank with the Johnstown TRIBUNE has ceased; he having determined to devote his whole time and attention to the duties incident to the office of County Superintendent. We are sorry to loose the Col., from the ranks, but, ‘tis duty calls, he must obey.’ Painful Accident The wife of our old and respected fellow townsman, John Rodgers, Sr., met with a painful accident on Saturday. While walking on her porch, which was covered with snow and extremely slippery, she fell and fractured her left leg. The fracture was immediately reduced, and the patient is now as comfortable as circumstances admit. _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows Mobile brings your life together—at home, work, or on the go. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093182mrt/direct/01/
