It is this The lather and grandmother, the mother and grandmother, of any person, unble to take care of himself or herself, are each and all of them bound by law--if able--to contribute to the support of an impoverished child or grandchild.

Happy are they who have firesides, fuel, food and clothing, but there are many who have none o( these comforts This should be a reminder to the for Innate ones to remember tho unfortunate and show their gratitude to the great Giver of all good by sharing of their abundance with those who have little or none. There are plenty of such, and worthy ones, too, people who can be assisted and that they are not receiving charity, are rot thereby put in the panper class. To share a luxury ia to add to its sweetness, and make it minister not to selfishness and ease, but brotherly sentiment and Christian generosity, THE Progress lust week takes exception to our figures on the vote in this Congressional district for Garfield and White, It says: There are 200 votes in the above computation deliberately added lo Garfield'a official vote in Jefferson county, Garfield's vote there being 2750 and White's 2785. In Ihe above item Garfield's vote is reported at 2950 and carried on so in Ihe addition. Now Gen, White had in Jefferson 35 votes more than Garfield.

The oflicial returns, as published in the Brookvillo papers, give White 2785 and Garfield 2950. This the question of veracity. The official published in Ihe local papers is what our table was based upon, There are, however, some other errors in the table, which being corrected by tho of- licial votes show that Garfield polled only 104 voles more than White. Death of Dr. Herman Bow.

Dr. Herman Bow, one of AHoona's best- known citizens and physicians, whose tion for the past two weeks had been very precarious, died at his-home on Seventh of Twelfth twenty min- tea before 10 Friday morning. Dr. Bow was born in Greensburg, Westmoreland county, on July 26,1810, and was therefore in hia 41st year. His youth was spent in Indiana where he served an appro icejhip to the printing business in the Uiicifof the Indiana IkyMer, the property of his father He worked as a compositor for several years, and afterward studied law.

Just as he was on the point of being admitted to the bar the rebellion broke out. His plans were then all changed and he went into the nine months' seivice He served his term of enlistment, and on his return to peaceful pursuits began the study of medicine, graduating with honor at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. For several years he practiced hia profession in Maryland, and having been, as he often stated, driven out of the State by the belligerents, he set tied once more in Indiana, and ufter practicing there for some time removed to Altoona in 1874, where he had resided evei since. Dr. Bow was a man of fine literary attainments, and his natural bent was toward literature.

He possessed considerable ability as a landscapa painter, and many of hia sketches exhibit a true appreciation of the principlesof fine art. he had an academic education and took every ad. vantage that offered to improve and add lo his store of knowledge rarely observed in a man with similar opportunities. His medical education was superior; his abilities were universally acknowledged by the medical fraternity, and he was a man who had power to make warm friends Dr, Row was the youngest but one of eight blethers and four sisters. Tne brothers are all printers by trade, and one of them, S.

J. Bow, is the preeent publisher of the Clearfield Journal. The deceased leaves a wife, two daughsers and a son. The eldest daughter, Mies Sadie, is a teacher in our public Hun. GEO.

We think the United Presltjtcnan ia right.i\\'c cannot see why a preacher should not warn his hearers against supporting for office men of immoral habits, such as drunkards, Sabbath breakers, extortioners, infidels and scoffers, They luoulil also condemn the piacuco-of singing songs of praise, with ho- sannahe and hallelujahs to candidates who are guilty of the above vices.

The Loan Exhibition will comprise fine paintings, ancient curiosities of all kinds, together with things modern of an interesting nature.

Tbe collection will be an good one, and an evening spent there will be interesting and enjoyable.

We feel assured from the encouragement already given that our citizens are deeply interested in the project, and feel safe in saving that we believe the Festival and Loan Exhibition will be largely attended, -and that, as a result, our town will ere long boast a library and reading' room of surpassing merit.
