Thursday, February 14, 1861 Volume 2, Number 26 Local and Personal Cathcart, confined in the Clearfield county jail under sentence of death, recently made an unsuccessful attempt to kill himself. We forgot to notice last week that the house of Mr. Michael O. Skelly of Summerhill township was burned to the ground on the 1st inst. The loss was large. A horse attached to a sleigh ran off through Centre street on Monday. The occupant, Mr. William Richter, was thrown out and dragged a considerable distance. He was not seriously injured.

Swank, junior editor of the Johnstown TRIBUNE has been appointed Superintendent of the Common Schools of this county, vice Thomas A. Maguire Esq. resigned. This is a first rate appointment and one that will give general satisfaction. A new post office has been established in Warm Springs, Huntingdon county, and Mrs. Ann E. Rankin appointed P. M.
