Mr. RidenLaugh left here soma seventeen years ago, aud ' pulled up" at St. Joseph, Missouri, when that towu had but 150 inhabi tants. He started a sin ill paper there. The town in a few years grew into a city of 12,000, and was the point for the overland travel to California. With the town, the paper also in creased, until Mr. Ridenbaugh was able, several years ago, on a large fortune to retire ftom business. lie is now Clerk of the Courts of that County. We say, success till ye, Bill, we always like to see our old apprenticeship friends piosper. Beef-Heels trys to pick us up, on a typogra phical mistake in our paper of week before last, in our article in reference to Hon. Ed. Mcpher son—"representation" instead of reputation. We wrote it reputation, but the compositor made it representation, aud we did not discover it in readiug the proof—it WHS discovered, however, before the improssioo was all off. The good seuso of any reader with a thimoieful of brains would supiply the correct word, but as Beef- Heals is known to bo lamentably deficient in that article—ho could not discover it. A CHANGE. —We notice by the last Gazette, that Geo. W. Bcoford, Esq., retires, and B. F. Meyers, becomes sole proprietor. Mr. Ben ford is u very pleasant and social geutlemaD, nud the good wishes of our people go with hiui —we are sorry we caDDOt s*y the same of the latter. - ♦♦♦ The President left the Bedford Springs on Monday. Whilst at the Springs he authorized his friends to state that he is not a candidate for a re-nomination. Knowing the past life of the old sinuer, many do not believe bitu sin cere. The large crowd of visitors at tho Bedford Springs and in town,still continues. Many arc arriving, and there is roooi fur more. Come on KENTOCKV ELECTION.— Seven Looufuco Congressmen to three opposition are probably elected. Tho Legislature Lucofoco by a etnall marjority. The newly accredited Belgian Ambassador to the U. States, aud suite, are on a visit to the Bedford Springs. The.-'put up nt Mrs. Filler's. OLR COVATT TICKET. GEO. VV. WILLIAMS, oar lato attentive member of the llonse of Representatives, was unanimously re-nominated by the late County Convention. It is unnecessary to say anything in bis favor, as he is well and favorably knowu all over the County, and will run a strong vote, the Gazette's lies and misrepresentations to the contrary notwithstanding. His election is certain. Ilis colleague is GEO. G. WALKER, of Somerset County, our ether late member, who was so faithful in attending to the interests of bis constituents, lie will receive the full vote of bis party iu this County, and will be elected. JOHN TAYLOR, of Bedford Borough, the candidate for Associate Judge, is one of out best aud most popular eitizns, will make a tirstrate oiS.-er, and as one of the Judges should he from Bedford or vicinity, ought to he elected: No better or stronger rnuu is in the County. * SAMUEL J. WAY, of Bedford IB rough, the candidate for Treasurer, isa moral,upright mau, and will be a perfectly reliable man to handle the State and County fuuds. He is weii qual tded fur tho post, by education aud business habits. A'though his opponeut, Mr. Shafer is also a good man, and was a firm aati -Lecotup ton and anti*Buchauan man last fall, in accept' ing the nomination for Treasurer on the Le compton and Buohauuu ticket, he renounces his former good principles, and, wa think, be comes as much ot a Lecomptou man as any one. Mr. Way is all right on the aati-Lecotnpton question, and nothing doubijul about hint. JAMES ALLISON, of Napier, is nominated for County Surveyor, lie is an old Surveyor, has had many years experience, and eaunot be surpassed by any other in the County. His character is above reproach, lie will tun a strong rote. JOHN B. MILLER, of Middle Woouberry, the candidate lor Commissioner is an excellent busiuess man, and as such a man is needed in the Commissiouers office, the people will best serve their interests by electing ititu. Besides, the present board are ull Locofocos, and at least one opposition should be placed there to watch iho others; therefore, wo hope he may be elected. SAMUEL SIIAFEII .of Union, tho candidate for Poor Director, is just the man for tho post. He is one of our best aad most intelligent far mers, and popular wherever known. As ail the board of Poor Directors arc Lucofocos, the people will see oue of the strong rea-ocß why be ought to be elected. HENRY CLAY LASULEY of Southampton, the candidate for Auditor, is a first-rate account ant and the very man for tho station. He is popular aud will run a strong vote. Such, freemen of Bedford County is the tick et placed before you for your suffrages. It is one of the best aud most popular ever offered you, and if you regard your own interests you will eleet it. Since our last it-sue, wc made a short visit to Blair County, and sojourned very pleasantly for a few days with some friends at Hpang's Mills. Whilst there, we made a number of clever acquaintances—who. by a variety of pas times enabled us to enjoy a good time general ly. The country in that vicinity is delightful —the scenery equals the finest in the State— whilst a fertile soil and improved highways combine to make aD industrious people happy. A harvest has been lately gathered there,such as has not been equalled for years. During our stay in Biair we had a pleas ant evening dtive to Marrinsburg, over the new turnpike road which loads through one of the most wealthy parts of the beautiful val ley of the Cove. We there met some old ac quaintances, and soma others with whom we hope to become bettor acquainted. A drive over to Hoilid.iysburg a J Jed aiso to the pleasure of our stay. We there met a number of acquaintances aud fi ien is, the warm grasp of whose friendly hands we were glai to feel. Übllidayaburg is a city m ajiniatuie— aud we were ugreeabiy surprise J to see the ex tent to which business is there carried on.— Several large Furnaces are there in aoiivo op eration, whilst Kail Road and other public im provements favor greatly the dwellers in that mountain encircled town. At the Maria Forge# wo witnessed the in teresting process of making blooms, and as we saw the almost naked workmen at their fires, we could not help thinking of swarthy old Vulcan, ( whom Venus loved,) laboring at his smoking forge. Love is ever capricious, but that the Goddess of Beauty should have ever been made to fall in love with the God of the Blacksmiths, is one of the wonders of My thol ogy that we could nevor perfectly comprehend. With adequato protection, such as is contend ed for by the People's party, this would be one of the richest portions of God's moral vine yard. To Col. L. L. Moore, iho present excellent and populur Manager of these Iron Works, and others, to Moj. Ostorloh, and others, of liol lidaysbnrg, and Col. Beegle, of St. Clairsviile, we would return thaaks for sundry kind atten tions during our absence. May tbeir shadows increase with tho Sight of time. An exchange nf the monotonous labors of the sanctum tor the quiet country and cool re treats of nature, is a pleasure that none but those whp have experienced oan appreciato. Our old friend, John F. Ley, Esq., formerly of Bedford, but now of Pittsburg, is ou a vis it to Bedford. Hon. Richard Rush, a prominent statesman died at Philadelphia, on the 30th ult. DEATH OF COL D. 11. IIOFJIJS. We publish in to-day's paper a uotice of the death] and an account of the funeral of the gentleman whose natno beads this article, which we copy front the Blair Couuty Whig, of the 2d inst. Col. Ilofius was the son of Dr. John 11. Ilofius, an old and prominent physician of this place. He graduated at Marshall College, in Mercersburg, in tho year 184.0, and immediately thereafter commenced the study of the law in the office of Wffl. Ly on, Eq., as stated.iu the article referred to. Among the records of the Courts, iu Quar ter Sessions, Docket No. 6, p. ISO, we find the following entry: "Nov. 29, 1842. On motion of S. M. Barclay, E-q., DAVID 11. Hot'ius, Esq. ad mitted and sworn as an attorney of t/ie Courts." Soon after bis admission, Mr. Ilofius became associated in the practice of hjs profession with W. C. Login, Esq., the law partnership of Maun & Logan having been dissolved in eorw sequence of the former, (lion. Job Maun.) be ing called upon putlio duty to Harrisburg.— By this association, Mr. Ilofius was soon in the midst of a largo and profitable practice, and by a reference to the dockets, it may be still seen that the names of Logan & liofius ap pear upon one side cr the offier of every case litigated at that day. This association con tinued for several years, until dissolved by the removal of Mr. Logan to the west, after which the deceased continued to practice alone up to 1847, when as 2d lieutenant iu the "Indepen dent Greys," a company of volunteers com manded by Capt. Taylor, he went to jiiaout urmy iu Mexico. Wo were there with him. in his Mexican; campaign, and bear testimony to L; 3 noble conduct us an officer at d sul dier. lie was beloved by the whole company % Upon his return from Mexico, he removed to Hoilidaysburg, where ho was engaged iu the practice of the Ew up to the date of his un timely death; We noticed him frequently du ring the last few years in our Courts here, en gaged in the the trial of causes, lie was a logical rpasuner, an eloquent speaker, and as a lawyer had few equals among the members ot his profession, lie was well and favorably known to the pcopie of Bedford, and his death will be sincerely regretted here, lie was pos sessed of fine social qualities, and of prepos sessing, indeed,a somewhat remarkable personal appearauee— "A combination and a form indeed, Where every God did sc-m to Ret hi- sal, To give the wo rid assurance of a man." do Muj. J. U. Ontetlob, of Hoilidaysburg, the present Biigaue Inspector of Bi-ir Co.. (a devoted friend of the deecwseJ, ) much praise is due for the elegant and appropriate manner iu which the military of ttiat district manifested their lst respect to their lamented brother.— The funeral arrangements were perfect, and the interest displayed, by citizens and soldiers, added to the solemnity of the occasion, show ed how deeply he was enthroned iu the hearts of the people. But to the report: DEATJI OF COL. DAVID 11. UOXTI7S. lu our la-t we briefly alluded to the sudden, but not unexpected deuisse of our uiuoh respect ed feilow-citizen, Col. David H. Holies, which event look place at the Exchange Hotel on Monday evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock. He had just taken a seat on the portico of the IIo tel, and was listening to Col. Giluiore reading the Foreign auw.', wheu he fell back, gave a gasp or two, ?ud before those who were sealed on the portico could get hitu into the Hotel, he breathed his last. Col. Liotius was a member of the bar, and was highly esteemed by uti who knew hitu. He graduated at Marshall College, iu Mereersbufg, after which he studied law in the office of Wui. Lyon, E-q., iu Bedford. Shortly after he was admitted topractice, the war with Mexico broke out, and ho went to that country as a Lieuten ant of one of the companies composing the Second Pennsylvania Regiment. He iu several engagements,and acquitted himsodf with great bravery. When peacii was declared, ho returned and located in this place, where he soon earned an enviable reputation us a skillful aud finished lawyer. Without wishing to draw any invidi ous comparison, we may say tlut as a criminal lawyer he had few equals— no superiors. All must remember the truly eloquent manner in which be defended Tracy, tried for the murder of RobiusoD, in 1852, and his ingenious de fence of M'Kim is still fresh in our memory. He was at one time District Attorney of the county. At the time of his death, he was Captain of the "Hollidaysburg Fencibles," a military com pany in which he took great pride. Immedi ately after his death his company took charge of his remains, and removed thetu to their ar mory, where he was dressed in his uniform, and plaeed in a mota>ic coffin. The aruiorv was draped iu mourning, and the coffin elevated on a pedestal covered with a pall. A crape canopy surmounted by an eagle was erected over the remains. Vases of flowers were pla ced on the pedestal, and the coffin was covered wph tho colors of the company—the whole forming a chaste and elegant tribute which did great credit to the Fencibles. In this way be lay in military state until Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock, when the funeral took place. In the interval at least a thousand persous visit ed the Armory. At 3 o'clock on Wednesday the services commenced in the Armory, and were conducted by llevd's Dosb, Knight, Jun kin and Taylor. At half past three the pro cession moved in the following order : Martial Music, (muffled drums.) Hollidaysburg Fencibles. Emmet Guards. Juniata Rifles. Soldiers of the Mexican War. Nine Pall Bearers. Hearse with coffin. Nine Pall Bearers. I. 0. O. F. Apalachtan Encampment Members of tho Bar. Carriage with rel.itivos. Carriages with citizens. Citizens on foot. The procession was very large and imposing. The slow, measured tread, the reversed arms, and the funeral dirge made the occasion a very solemu one, and not a few eyes were dimmed with tears. I'oor Ilofius!—a man of mind, and of most noble impulses—without an enemy on earth, save one , who lured tlieo on to destruction in the guise of social friendship. Well may we exclaim— "One more unfortunate Rashly importunate, Gone to his death. ** Let the grave cover his errors—let them ho veiled in oblivion, and let us in charity to frail humanity only remember his virtues, even if flatjtery cannot "soothe the dull, col l ear of death." We al! have our faults. Lot ur think of them and try to reform them before we speak "trumpet-tougued against the deep damuation of his taking off." Col. liofius had been perceptibly failing for a year past, but it was only siuce May that bo became very had. His eye sight failed, he became t.u ituro. It seemed, too, s if he look el for a speedy dissolution, as only a week bc fere his death, he employed tho services of a friend to destroy a large number of letters and arrange Lis papers. Friends advised him last winter to go to the hospital, but he frankly told them it was too late- Thus perished, al most without a pain or struggle, iu the very flower of manhood, a man of the brightest in let leer, wi:!i a soul as noble in all its impulses as ever animated human clay. A tear to Lis memory! '■Green he the tarf above th e, Friend of my early usys None knew tnee but to love thfe, Noco named thee but to praise." Tribute of Respect. On the opening of the Court on Tuesday morning last, Col. McMurtrie announced iu u feeimg and appropriate manner the death of Col. ilofius, after which the Court adjourned no til two o'clock, immediately after, the members of tho bar held a meeting, when a committee was appointed to draft- a series of resolutions, to report at aa adjourned meeting, to bo held at 1£ o'clock. At that hour the meeting W33 re-organized by cailiugS. Calvin, Esq. to the chair, and ap pointing Tliad. Banks, Esq., Secretary. S. Steel Biair, E-q., delivered u very elo quent eulogy on the deceased, after which the following resolutions were adopted: li'solv !, That the ntemherr of ibis bar have received with regret tin; announcement of the death of their friend and fellow-member, David 11. ilofius, Esq. Resolved, That in the lamented death of Mr. Ilofius, tho Bar has lost cue of its mo.vt emi nent members, whoso memory is hallowed by a life of noble bearing, and manly ami generous impulses, and whose virtues are attested alike oy tho confidence and esteem with waioh he was regarded in life, and the sorrow with which his sadden and untimely death is mourned by all who knew himi Resolved , That we lender to the relatives cf the deceased the assurance of our avmnatby in the hour of their sorrow and bereavement. Resolved, That iu token of our regard for the memory cf the deceased, we will wear tho usual badge of mourning for thirty dayr, and attend his funeral iu a body. Resolved , That the proceedings of 'ld" meet ing of the Bar, relative to the death of Mr. liofius, be communicated te the nearest rela tives of the decea u ed. Reiufved, That the proceedings of this meet ing be reported to the Court, and by the per mission of the Court, the same be entered at large upou the record. S. S. Blair and E.

The tributo is merited and correct, bar ring the military titles—but we arc anxiously waiting for the next war! The "Major" will then no doubt become a Genor.il, and the "Colonel" be promoted to Commander-in-Chief! PENNSYLVANIA STATE JOUKNAX.— This is the title of a new weekly paper just started in Philadelphia. It supports the People's Party with much spirit, and promises to be of great service in the good cause. It is a largo paper and neatly printed. Reuben G. Onvig & Co. Terms $2 per annum. Subscribo for it. The last Gazette attempts to injure our Coon ty ticket, by sayiug that "the two best offices are given to Bedford Borough." That paper does not state that the THREE best offices on the Locofoco ticket are given to Bedford Bor ough! Try again, Mr. Heels ! We had tho pleapure of taking by the band, Judge Jones of the Ilollidnysburg Register, ou our visit to :hat place l?st week. Time ap pears to set lightly on the Judge, and be still publishes and we hope he may for many years to come—one of the best papers in the State. The New York Herald has learned Mr. Bu chanan's character better since 1855 and 1856. It now understands precisely what is meant by the Bedford and ilarrisburg editorial annunci ations that Mr. Buchanan is no candidate. In commenting yesterday upon these annuncia tions, the Herald says: "It is quite possible, however, notwithstand ing the fixed resolution of Mr. Buchanau to close up his public careor with tbo expiration of his present term, that the clamors of the Opposition factions and the distractions of the Democracy may result in compelling the Charleston Convention to bring him again be jort the pn>ple as the only candidate competent to reunite the party JVort/i and Sont/i in a solid column against the blucli BepvMicans. Upon this point we give a chapter of extracts frotu orne of the leading political journals of the I South, which will furnish the reader a pretty ' clear conception of the dissensions and divis ions ;n the Democratic camp touching the rival aspirants already in the field for the Charles- j ton nomination." The Washington correspondent of tho New ; Y"rk Tribune says: "The denial from Bedford of Mr. Bucbttn- i an's caudidacy in 1851 is on the same footiog with similar contradictions here, where the wholo power and patronage of tho Administra tion have been employed to promote J. B.'s nomination. Tiut dodge is well understood." 'i he Molires of Hie Peacf A I'aris letter to the Independence Beige, in discussing the causes that have led to peace, gives some interesting statements that wc trans late for tho Bulletin, as follows: "The motives which i d to tho Emperor's de- 1 ciion were many and serious. I think, first, that he was profoundly affected by the sight of! the bleeding sacrifices heaped tip on the battle fields of Magenta aud Solferino. There is in his mind a certain stick of philosophic ideas,J which inspired his in the early put of : his career, which re-appear often in his deeds j and his words, and which must uukc him sen- ! sihlo of the evils of war. The fatal effects of ! the heat, which kills the wounded and taafces ! the healthiest suffer, most also have been a pain- i ful spectacle so him. Tho thought of hrtagino j to a close a wir which had already struck such ; terrible biOt??, and wli;cii Le i.ad, moreover, brought to a point where important results could j be secured, naturally took possession of his j wind, lit: had, before ail Europe, a great part j to play. o,j the other hand, he knew the s'ttu- ' ution of :Lc Austrian army, and ho knew that overtures made by him, with proper dignity, could net but be received with '.he liveliest sa't iataclioC, "Tbe Emperor Fraocia Joseph had left the battle field c.f Solferico, a prey to the most grievous coio'i >D>. 11a eould not control his tears on finding himself following iu the defeat of tlr.'.t ami) iu which he had j need -o much confidence. Overcome by fatigue andgrjef, ;, e suffered, 1 am assured, for several from a violent lever. His army, to which victory had been so often promised in the strong position it occupied, itself amazed at its defeat, was de moralized and disorganized. He dreaded the disheartening effect of tuc battle in Germany, and even in his own States. He knew that, his treasury being exhausted, Austria was not in a coudi'ioa to replace the army formed uith go much labor, wh< so good discipline and valiant resistance could not stand against the elan of the French troops. He had suffered also from other bitter dappointments. His allies re fused the support that Le had vainly called for, and en which he hau reckoned beforu his fatal declaration of w\.r. "The Emperor Napoieon knew all these things Perhaps the idea of not aggravating the misfor tunes i iiis v iitig foe, and not weakening him beyond the point where he might be useful even to the interests of France also entered his mind." I he last quoted sentence is sifinifieaot. The rest of the letter need cot le traosJated. (Jassius M. Clay, Ivq., furnished to the edi tor of the Louisville Journal the following im portant endorsement of the curative effects of alcohol in cases of bites or stings of venomous reptiles or insects. Readers should preserve the ex'rve': GENTLEMEN:—I saw in your yesterday's •Journal, tint a eitiz.'u of Lewis county, Ky., had died of the bite of a rattlesnake, after all tba usual remedies had teen tried. Now it wouid be weL to know that alcoholic spirits is a certain specific for the biles of all reptiles and poisonous iusc-ts. This is too well known to be a disputed question. We were all aston ished in the West, a few years ago, when a dis tinguished clergyman died in New York City, from the bite of a half torpid rattlesnake, iu the midst of the 'learned facultv.' Hut I write this now bscuu-o of a recent occurrence in my own family of a poisonous bite. On Friday last my son, aged nearly twelve years, took off Lis shoe 9 and went gunning amid the white clover. Ho says he was bitten on the toe by something, and was afraid to return to look after it. This was about 5 P. M.j at 7 his too was budly swollen, as was bis fact, throat, and the jaw on the same side, and the lip and eye, which began to le quite painful. We immediately gave him apple brandy, (very high proof) and in the c urse of an hour bad taken near a pint before he began to fhow the effects of it iu a disposition to sleep. At Dine he was asleep; tb3 swelling bad ceased to in crease, his pulse was full, a little quick and irregular, but in the morning the swelling was everywhere somewhat reduced, and although Le complained of a little nausea at the stom ach, ha a'.c his several meals during the day, and experienced no other effect from the large quantity of brandy which he drank. This morning he is running about as usual. I omit ted to state that we bound saleratus cu his toe till we sent for S"ma ammonia, with which we moistened the salerntu*. This- was upon tho ory that the poison is an acid, and any ai ka.. will answer, though ammonia is thought to be the best. So confident was lin tho suc cess of the remedy, that I never even sent for the 'learned faculty' at ail, whose reluctance to adopt and recomnieud this well known rem edy is a curious subject of speculation. Your obedient servant, V. M. Ulay. P. S.—l am in hopes that tho medical jour nals will notice this case, at least with the view ot philosophical inquiry into the true remedy, if they deny this. HORACE GREEDY GETS SHAVED.—Mr. Gree ly while at Denver eitv, writes: "I bad the honor to be shaved there by a nephew (so be as; urtd me)of Murat, Bonaparte's King of Naples—the honor and the shave to gether costs but a paltry dollar. Still a few davs of such luxury surfeited me, mainly be cause the drinking rootn was also occupied by several blacklegs as a gambling hell, and the inoessant clamor of "Who'll go mo XX? The ace of hearts is the winning card. Whoever turns the ace of hearts wins the $20," &0., &c., persisted ia at all hours of the night, became at length a nnisanco front which I craved de liverance at any price. Then tho visitors of that drinkiug and gambling room had a care less way, whon drunk, of firing revolvers, some times at eoeh other, at other times quite mis cellaneously, which struck me as inoouveuicnt for a quiet guest with only a leg and a half, hence in poor condition for dodging ballets.- So 1 left.
