'■ tlemen- As 1 ani about to prosecute the claims ! r confiscation at the next session of Con gi - if I should be permitted to appear tbep . I desire to ascertain certain facts. Will you aid me in proenring them in a small part of our own state? Invite returns from all the people in each township of the amount of property which the rebel raiders or the armies of the so called ''Confederate States" destroyed or appropriated to their own use during their several inenrsions into Penn ylvania, and hand the same to the Assessors of the different townships who are requested to return the aggregate for each township to the Chairmen of the respective parties of the different counties. May I here ask that the various newpapers of the counties above named, publish this notice for a few weeks in aid of the object specified as I intend to press the payment of the damages done to loyal men. out of the confiscated property of the • nquered belligerent. I desire each and every person who resided in the above named counties to make out a list of the amount of all property of which he was despoiled by the rebel raiders or the rebel Government, and return the same to the assessors of his town ship, who, I hope will forward the same to to tie Chairmen of the County Committees of each party, who I hope will take the trouble to aggregate the same and return it to me. I desire a fair valuation to be placed on all the property, whether personal property ab -;r i-ted, or real property destroyed, except Caledonia Iron works in the Couuty of Franklin, which will not be appraised as no remuneration is claimed for it. This may em to be asking our friends to take con derable trouble, but as a small part ot the labor only falls to each person it willbc found light. I hope it may finally prove profitable to the injured people. Yours, THA.DDEUS STEVENS. P. S. Were it not presumptuous in me. 1 would invite all the loyai men of all the -tates who have been plundered by rebel raiders or confiscated by the Confederate States or either of them, to form associations and 'urnish statistics, such as are above so licited. Claims so imperatively just, must be finally allowed and paid, but the funds to pay the same will certainly be raised nowhere except out of the fines and confiscations of the richer and more atrocious malefactors. Feeble as my powers are, if I had five years more added to my life, I should not doubt but that this would become an accomplished fact. Such justice urged by a determined will, though feeble intellect, cannot tail. If I should be denied that extension of life, Providence will raise np to the work, -•■ me younger and abler man to whom these tacts would be of great assistance. 1 trust it will not be supposed that I have abandoned the determination to procure small home steads for tire freedmcn, to be furnished by the rebel masters whom they conquered at our request. Homesteads earned by the late slaves and annexed to their master's es tates. 1-et them now be severed by partition. All the Newspapers in the several counties named are respectfully requested to publish this article. 8t "WIIEN will the Western part of the town be made the object of some streetimprovemenls," is a question that has been propounded to us by inhabitants of that locality. In answer we would say—be patient. "Rome was uot built in a day:' neither can our worthy authorities be supposed to do all things at once. "Pa tience, Cleminy: things are moving." WASHINGTON HOVSE. —We would call the attention of the travelling public to the fact that this well known establishment is being thoroughly renovated and refitted, and Mr. Dibert intends that his customers shall find it as represented, a "first class hotel." i A NEW LODOE, NO 33, Independent Order of Good Templars, waa organized in Clearville on last week. Tv its appropriate column we this week pub lish an obituary notice of Geo. Mullin, Esq., with a brief summary of his public career, as identified with the early history of this county. THE customers of John I. Noble's Woolen Factory, at Waterside, this county, will he waited upon by William H. H. Ralston, and offered an opportunity to exchange their wool for goods at fair price::. Wait until he calls. ANT person desiring a Scholarship of the Quaker City College, Philadelphia, one of the best Business Colleges in the United States, can be supplied, on reasonable terms, by applying to us.-tf. WE can not help noticing the rapid growth and progress of the organization of Good Templars in this place. Largo additions in numbers are being made at each stated meeting and results betokening much good are made manifest. •'THE REGULATOR." —Irvine & Statler are stiil selling their goods a3 cheap as ever. Thev have on hand the finest lot of Boots and Shoes ever brought to town, and their stock of Groceries, Queensware. Ac., is hard to beat. Give them a call. W E notice that Bedford Street named in the proprietory as Shelbourne,' in the eastern part of the town, is in process of rapid grada tion. This smacks of improvement, and that too, in the right direction. We hope Julian na Street will not be forgotten in her lime and place. THE Lewistown Gazette comes to us en larged and shining like a new pin. We are very glad to see this evidence of prosperity in the Gazette. It is a very good and reliable Republican paper, and well deserves all the patronage bestowed upon it by the vigilant Republicans of that county. ATTENTION is called to the advertisement of the "Chalybeate House" William Cheno weth, proprietor. Persons from a distance wishing to spend a few weeks in pleasant re creation will find the "Chalybeate" just the place, as the situation is delightful, and in all respect they are sure to be made comfortable. WASTED.—A few hogs, goats, geese Ac., to stock the streets of the town and the public square. Il is hoped that the borough authori ties will see that the want is promptly sup plied. If the City Fathers are too bussly en gaged to attend to little matters of this kiud perhaps a little extra pay might induce the High Constable to lend his assistance. EVERT SATURDAY, tor June Ist, contains: Jaques Callot, A Railway Adventure, Recent Lectures and Writings of Emerson, Silcote of Silcotes, by Henry Kingsley, Priscilla's Lot, Stone Edge, The Rascal Column in the Newspaper, Foreign Notes, and the Coquette's Glove.

Ac., together with a bottle of compound for beautifying the complexion. Certainly the donor was not possessed of the idea that editors, particularly such as our friend Swank, ever use or are i n need of such an addition to their toilet. Bor.oucu TAXES.— We are requested by the Burgess and Council to say that on account of the extraordinary repairs to the reservoir and streets, the taxe3 tnttsi be paid at once or the work stopped. It is to be hoped that the water will not be stopped off from the borough this summer on this account. La boring men must be paid, and their families supplied, or the work cannot go on. J. W. W. Dickerson. Esq.. has the old duplicate, and 11. Nicodem s. £?q.. the present one. "THE WEATHER" seems to l>ean inexhaus tible topic, made so, probably, from the fact that the "venerable clerk," has seen fit. late ly. to give us a bountiful supply of the "vari able" and "changeable." Seven day's rain, one day's snow, and two day's attempted sun shine, make up the calendar for the past tc-n days. To-day, (Tuesday) tastes of Spring, but "dark clouds still hang o'er us." envel oping the majestic mountain tops, and beto kening "more rain." WHY IS IT, that the day train on the Hun tingdon A Broad Top Railroad is always be hind time at Mt. Dallas while the night train arrives on time? The schedule gives the day train seventeen minutes more than the night train yet it never reaches Mt. Dallas on time. At present the day train is the only one that carries a mail and by reason of irregularity in the time of its arrival at Mt. Dallas the mail, instead of reaching Bedford at half past twelve o'clock as it should, frequently does not arrive until half past one and two o'clock. CROP PROSPECTS. —Wheat promises an abundant barrest. Oats are late and indica tions are that there will be a light crop. Corn is not all planted yet, while sonic, early planted in low ground, is reported rotting. Fruit —Apples and pears have bloomed freely and promise a bountiful crop. Peaches have nearly all been frozen in the bud and in some localities the trees have been badly damaged by winter freezing. Grapes are putting forth very late and an average of half the bndg have been winter killed. In many places the vines are badly damaged and will die to the ground. The past winter has been disastrous to small fruits generally, except the hardier varieties. Strawberries have bloomed freely and we have every pros pect of an abundant supply of this early and delicious fruit.

The Public are earnestly solicited to attend. This is signed by Messrs. D. F. Christmit, K. A. Moore and D. Hamilton, Committee. JUNIATA SHAD. —Many of our readers are still incredulous as to the appearance of shad, not only in the upper waters of theSusdue hanna. but in its tributaries, but every day affords ocular proof that the tinny monsters are returning to their old haunts, and that before many years shad will be as abundant in these waters as they were before the im provements of navigation interfered with their habitations. We were shown eight mon ster shad caught in the Juniata on yesterday morning, aud brought to this city at noon (he same day. by"Dr. E. Eranciscns, ticket agent at the Pennsylvania railroad office.

DIAMOND EDITION. — "The Diamond Dickens" is an edition of which any author might be proud, even though be were inclined to set the highest price upon his writings. It is a miracle of cheapness and neatness. tVe examine it closely, and with abundant satisfaction, as we say so. We look at the fine, delicately tinted psper, the ; beautifully clear though exceeding small type i the clean bright impression, the spirited cn ! graviugs, the neat regular folding, the pretty ! green and gold binding, and the nice solid j feeling book which all these necessary tonco | mitants go to make up —and we say again. | deliberately, when we remember the price, i that "The Diamond Dickens" is a miracle of I cheapness. I If the complete works of the great novelist i can he produced in , ivgant tolmnn of too, or ! more pages, on fine paper, with spirited illus j -.rations, well printed and well bound, making j a set of books that would ornament any library i at the price of one dollar and a half a volume i we think it likely that the people will tire of j payiug nearly or quite as mnch for worthless j books miserably printed and not bound at all. j "The Pickwick Papers." "Our Mutual | Friend," "David CopperSeld" and "Nicho ; las Nickleby," have already been issued in the "Diamond" edition. fltey will be followed by a volume a month until the series is complete.

DIED In Fricnda COT©, on the 18th inst.,after © pro tracted illne<. which she bore with Christian retignation, REBECCA, the beloved wife of- Henry Diehl, aged 52 years, 2 month", and 8 days. At hU residence in Harrison township, on the Jfith of April, 1807, GEORGE MCLLtN, Esq., in the Slit year of his ago. The subject of the above notice, was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, but came to Bedford County at a very early age, where he has resided ever since, ilia par ents were poor, and consequently unable to give him the benefits of a classical education, but endowed with spirit, ambition and energy, it was but a natural result that he should suc ceed in despite of any lack of culture in this respect. He was one of that class of men to whom no obstacle seems unsurmountable, no difficulty so great that it cannot be overcome by perseverance. Ever upright and honest, he won the esteem and respect of the entire community in which he lived. He was twice Sheriff of the County, receiving his first com misason from Governor Joseph Heister on the 28th of Oct. 1822. and his second from Gov. George Wolf on Nov. 4 1834. In 1841 he was elected for three years to represent the 13th Senatorial District, com posed of Bedford and Somerset Counties. As a legislatorhe was able, incorruptible and con scientious in the discharge of his duty, he ever had an eye single to the interests of the Commonwealth, and to his constituency. During the six years of his official career as Sheriff, he was indulgent and kind, in fre quent instances, pretering to assume the debt himself rather than distress the poor, and was therefore truly styled — "the poor man's friend.'" He had a wonderfully retentive memory, and an inexhaustible fund of infor mation" was Ifcortragbly posted on the polities of the day, and could converse fluently on all subjects appretaining thereto, from an early date in the history of the country, up to the last days of his life. He was always a de cided advocate of the Union —and during the late unfortunate and unjustifiable rebellion he stood by the Union, and, with patriotic zeal, aided the Union cause in every way he could —contributing three of his own sons and a grand son to the active military service of the Government. In 1831 he was so much in jured by a fall from his horse, as to be com pelled to use crutches ever since, a period of over fifteen years. Last fall a fresh injury confined him to hiß bed. For a time bis re covery seemed probable. But, he had not the vigor of youth oa his side, the hand of time for four score years, and over, pressed upon him. His recuperative powers were gone—slowly his sands of life ran out, until exhausted nature yielding to the "stern de cree" succumbed —tbc "dull film along his dim eye grew." and he lay "In the deep stillness of that dreamless state," "Of sleep that knows no waking joys again; His sufferings were great but be bore them with as much fortitude as poor human nature can exercise under such circumstances. He seldom complained, and when he did, it was only when nis pain was increased to an agony by lifting or moving, but ever submis sively bowed to the hand that afflictedhim. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church for many years; tried to be exemplarry and consistent, and to walk in "all Godliness and humility" so tar as he was enabled. A firm believer in the Bible, and the truths of divine revelation, he literally "searched the script ures." and ever sought to profit by their teachings. It is saiu that the prospect of of death disarms a man of all disposition to transact business of a wordly character. Not so with hitu. Whilst "setting his house in order," with a view to his eternal interest he did not neglect so to arrange bis temporal matters that all difficulty, as much as possi ble might be obviated* after his decease. When this was accomplished he calmly await ed his approaching dissolution. A few days before bis death his mind seemed to be darkened in reference to his spiritual condi tion. Upon being questioned in this respect, he replied, "I leave that entirely with my God, I have no assurance, only hope! only hope!" Soon, however a heavenly light seemed to break in upon him, and he was happy. Almost the lest aevor his life was a long and beautiful prayer in which he besought the divine blessing upon aii mankind. Thus he passed from earth to rejoin the compan ionship of her, we trust, who longyears before preceded him to glory. She whom he loved, and to sing with her the anthems ef the re deemed. Ah! 'tis sweet lodiclliisend to gain; who would cling to earth with such a home in view. When the dark and misty vale is passed, and Heaven's gates are thrown open to our bewildered gaze, we behold the shi ning loved ones gone before: there re-unions are perpetual: there, no partings, there, uo sad farewell. "There is perpetual spring, perpetual youth. "No joint-benuuiing cold, nor scorching heal, "Famine nor age,.have any being there." G. H.S. We arc Selling i Men'* all woolC a Du-ine ?

I can truly say that nothing but the kind hand of Providence and i your Bitters have sr, d her from an early grave. | For three years I hate her n doctoring her with ! syrups and all kinds' of hitlers that have been recomended to me for her, besides having two first rate physicians, but alt seemed to do her no good, while I was searching the almanacs and a|l the newspapers that I could get hold of, in hopes of finding something that would suit her ease. Accidentally there came part of a newspaper around some goods that I bought at the Spa. In looking over it I "aor at a glance that your Bit ters was jus! what .-he needed. I sent the next day to Ballston Spa aud got a bottle of your Bit ters. She commenced taking them, and such a change in one week with her appetite and the distress that victuals occasioned, cud that horn ing in the Stomach, I never saw in my life, as there was in her. She has taken three bottles and is now able to work all the time. I think there is a little derangement of the f.iver. Please send me three bottles more, which I think will cureber entirely.
