When John Pender got a carload of western horses which ran away, dashed through the lower end of town, out through Minersvile and turned in the lane which goes to the John F. Brehm farm, where someone closed the gate of the lane and the horses were caught and returned to Mr. Pender?
When the Merchants picnics used to be held at the Nineveh (Seward) grove?
When the Great Western band of Pittsburg was engaged to play at the turnfest of the Johnstown Turnverein (Turner's).
When the rivers overflowed one February and ice blocks covered Union Street.
When in Cambria City dancing took place Sunday afternoons at Mrs. Roerg's and Knotz's hotels.
