Xonvl AffiiiviL MONEY WANTED. —We believe we have as prompt paying; subscribers and patrous as any newspaper in the couutry can boast of, and we are therefore not inclined to com plain. But not being able to, go out among our people to collect, when we are in need of money we are obliged to call on them through the columns of our paper. The books of the late firm of Durborrow & I.utz are in our hands for settlement and on them we find a large number of unsettled accounts for ad vertising and subscriptions, amounting to sev eral thousand dollars. There are outstanding debts of the late firm which must be met and paid, aud to enable us to do this we must rely upon our patrons-for prompt payments. They have never yet failed us when called upon and we are confident that (hey will not now. Bat as a further inducement, we will .icoepf, from all who are in arrears for subscriptions and who pay for the past year and the yea- in ad vance, before or daring September Court, $2 per year, the same as if they had paid for all in advance. We have greatly enlarged and improved our paper, at a heavy expense, without any increase in its price, and the lib eral terms now offered cannot be extended be yond September Court. All parties not pay ing up at that time will be strictly held to the advertising rates VBT $2 in advance, $2.25 if not paid in advance. $2,50 if not paid with in six mouths and $-5.00 if not paid within the year.

THE BEDFORD Boaocon SETMOI R AND BLAIR CAMTAIOX CU B— lts conception, formation and premature dissolution —Its first move ment a failure —Tire funeral march already j begun . —Last week we promised our readers that whatever we might learn of the existence, : or. see of ihe movemeuts of the reputed Bor ough Seymour and Blair Club should be given :a9 a matter of general information. Accord j we propose to make good our promise | After diligent inquiry, we learned that such jan organisation had been conceived and breathed into a seaii-cxisteoce by the editor of the Gazette ; and further that an immense meeting was to be held under its auspices on Saturday evening, August 1. A conspicuous ' ly placed and elaborately displayed notice ap peared in the public print, calling upon the faithful throughout the county to meet iu council with the sachems of the club. Flam, ing posters appeared upon every available tree and wall, whilst numerous runners were employed to announce it in every village, hamlet and community that the "Grand Mo gul who controls the forked-tongued organ of the party, had decreed that the braves of his tribe should meet in the snake dance. Ihe little chiefs lent their voices to the call, and ct<r-sor-i-ly prepared tor the war path. A fellow who hangs around the leaders wigwam at Harrisburg was announced to lead in speech, and " others' ' was promised, to fill up the programme. No means were left unem j ployed to make the meeting a "match" fot the grand rally of the peace men on the Saturday previous. The "Committee on Applause" prepared themselves with troches, and the boys were notified to be on hand in full force. A large omnibus was sent to Bloody liun to aid iu bringing up the delegation expected from that place. The day wore quietly 011 till about the hour of three and as yet there were no visible signs of the promised outpouring !of the masses. A slight shower was the only j obs&rvable outpouring so tar. Anxiety de ! pieted itself upon ihe countenances of thp leaders, aad the elements were blamed as be ; ing the cause of the then apparent fizzle, i I he sullen boom of a solitary bass drum an nounced the arrival of the Bloody liun del '•gatii.n, and hope revived in she breasts of the managers. But, aln-! what a delega ■ 'ion! The omnibus aud one wagon composed ; its vehicles. And worst of all, the 'bus was j crowded mostly with boys who had lieen 1 loaded ou before entering town. The coun tenances of the Democrats who witnessed its arrival at the Bedford House displayed disap pointment and chagriu almost intolerable. This was the only delegation (?) that we saw. 'lite hour for meeting hav ing arrived, the band was mustered and a procession of boys and badges was formed in fror.t of one of the hotels, and marched to the Court House. Then followed music by the band, after which the baud played a piece. After the performance of another piece bv the baud, it was concluded to organize the meeting, notwithstanding the fact that the badges were not near all in and a large number of seats were unoccupied. The meeting was organized and the first speacer introduced. Then followed a drill by the "Committee on Applause." This part of the performance, like the speech we could not understand. The reason is obvious. The speaker, (and we are borne out in this by the evidence of a number of Democrats,) hid evidently seen too much through the bottom of a glass and could not Seymour. What we heard of his speech was unintelligible, and with quite a number of disgusted Democrats, we withdrew early in order to get a breath of pure air. Before the valiant (?) General had finished half the audience had left. Of those who followed we know nothing. They have no record, nor did they make an en viable one by their speeches 011 Saturday ! night. All In all, the meeting was one of the j most complete failures that ever huiqieued the Democracy in this section. No en- ! thusiastn, few in numbers aud dispirited, made up balderdash speeches and disgusting oratory, every thing connected with it visibly making it a great, grand. Democratic fizzle. NORMA!, SCHOOL. —The session of this school, for the preparation and drilling of teachers for the common schools, opened most auspiciously on Monday the 3d inst. There were sixty-tour students in attendance the first day and seventy-six on Tuesday. At ihe opening of the session last year there were but thirty nine in attendance making an in crease this year of nearly two thirds over last year. The increase we have reason to believe is almost entirely due to the zeal and energy of our very efficient County Superintendent, 11. W, Fisher. He has increased the induce ments for attendance upon the session of the normal school this year by adding a classical department under the charge of I'rof. Fred erick Woods. The corps of instructors now consists of Mr. 11. W. Fisher as principal, messrs. Woods, F. I'. A. MeClure, J. M. Reynolds and Miss Haley as assistants. Though the school opens thus, prosperously the number is but one fourth of that required to fid our schools. Sixty-one of those in at tendance are teachers or preparing to teach, while two hundred and four teachers are wan ted to keep the schools of the county open during the corning fall and winter. Last year twenty one schools were vacant for want of teachers ar-.d many others were not as effi cient as th"y should have been, because per sons were employed as teachers who were unqualified for the duties of their position. We hope no young man or woman iu the county who intends teaching the coming win i;sr, unless already well qualified, will fail to attend this preparatory school. The expense of time and money incurred thereby will be more than repaid by the better examination they will be enabled to pass and the higher wages their services will command by reason of their obtaining a highergrade of certificate. SAD ACCIDENT. —Mr. Jacob Anderson, of Cumberland Valley, this county, together with several others whose names we have not fully learned, met with an accident whilst visiting Cumberland, one day last week, which came near resulting tatally to the whole party. There were five of them in a wagon, as we learn, and w hilst driving across the rail road track a train unexpectedly came along, ana struck and completely demolished the wagon, and severely if not faially injured Mr. Anderson, and seriously bruised two of his companions. The other two, seeing their danger, sprang from the wagon in time to escape injury. At last account- Mr. Ander son was lying in a very critical condition, but hopes were entertained for his recovery. AI.WAYS int.—Who will deny that the Dem ocrats always reward their parly workers. ; Seymour, backed by bis "Iriends'' burned the negro Orphan Asylums, in New York, in I' f:'.. For this he is rewarded with the Dem ocratic nomination for the Presidency in 1-68. Frank Blair boasted of having burned a • ''sight of bouses, and captured all tbe ne groea" in an expedition through lower Tenn essee and Mississippi in the same year, and is credited with some more acts of like charac ter. for which he ia placed second on the ticket. Neither has anything else to recom mend hira to the people. Voters, look at this.'' NEW I.vsTitrxEKTS. —The Republican Bund of this place have received a full set of new silver instruments, and paraded the streets with them for the first time on lastj-atuiday evening. Tbe horns are very handsome, and add much to the effect and appearance of the Band. A neat uniform is all that is wanted now to make this organisation one of the most attractive institutions of the town. The horns were purchased by the subscriptions of individual members of the party. COSDITLOK OK THE CROCS IS JULY. —The following is an abstract from "Condition of the Crops'* in the Monthly Report of Agricul ture for July; Com— The most remarkable fact in con nection with the corn crop of the present year is the great increase of its acreage in the south, the differeuce in number of acres be tween the present and preceding year being more than two millions and a half. A slight decrease is apparent iu the eastern seaboard States, resulting from the unpropitious char acter of the recent cold, wet, and backward spring, which sadly interfered with planting. A careful estimate of the acreage shows a decrease of 49,809 acres in eight States, and an increase of 8,108,216 acres in the remain ing States. These figures show an increase of over 3,000,000 of acres in corn, making about 30,- 000,000 in the United States, an advance of niue per cent. The percentage of Louisiana reaches 60, that of Arkansas 47, that of Kan sas 30, Mississippi 25, Nebraska 25, Missouri 22, Texas 18, Minnesota 17, lowa 15, Illinois and Ohia 8, Indiana 4. The drought in the south has retarded somewhat the growth of corn, but its condi tion iu that section is generally good. In the west the average is high, with the exception of Ohio and Indiana, where the weather has been somewhat unpropitious, aud storms destructive. In the east, on the last of June, the growth was small, but the hot weather of July has brought a large por tion of the crop into sf lendid condition. H'heat. —The condition of wheat, as shown in the July returns, is above the average for last year in all the States except Vermont, Connecticut, the Carolinas, Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and N> braska. The season has been peculiarly favorable to the growth and ripening of this great bread crop in all except the southern States. The favorable reports are so numerous, in the western States especially, that it is un necessary to give them in detail. The gener al tenor of reports is thai "winter wheal bids fair to be the largest crop we have had for many years;" "the yield will be immense;" "the prospect was never better for a large crop;" the weather has been remarkably seasonable;" "the universal opinion is that the crop w : .i be the largest ever grown in the country;" crops all over the country were never in a more flourishing condition." llye, oats and barley promise abundant crops; tic serious drawbacks arc reported, and few complaints of bad condition are received. Potatoes, so exceptionably unproductive last year, are iu unusually fine condition, and the average is increased in every State except Rhode Island —Ihe natural results of extreme ly high prices of last year's crop. Fruit is variable,; npples and peaches less promising than usual. Vermont. New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Ar kansas, Missouri, lowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia, make a worse record than other States as to apples. Peach es will be less abundant than apples; New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware promising but half a crop, and Illinois and Michigan showing a considerable reduction. A fair promise of grapes is indicated. Tobacco covers as large an area as usnal in Virginia, Kentucky, and Connecticut; some what less in Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. Its condition is good in Kintuekey and Michi gan; elsewhere a little below an average, liorghuin is generally doing well in the west; not so well as usual in the middle belt of southei n Slates.

A PROSPEROUS NEIGHBOR. —The Gettys burg Star and Sentinel bas been again en larged and is now one of the largest and best country papers in Southern Pennsylvania. It is only a little more than a year since the pa per passed into the bands of the present pro prietors, by whom it was at once enlarged and greatly improved. It is now a second time enlarged under their proprietorship. We are always gratified to note such evi dences of prosperity among our neighbors. The Star and Sentinel is one of our most spirited Republican Journals and under the charge of llarpcr, Mcl'herson and Buehler is dealing vigorous blows in favor of Grant and Colfax. E.xi.stiiiKii.—The Washington Reporter of July, "J'.ch came to us in an entire new dres3 and enlarged to a double sheetsix-column pa per.

It has done and still does yeoman's service in the cause of the Union, and we are glad to see that it is liberally supported. May its patronage and usefulness increase with its increased size and the cause of the Union continue to pros per under its ieadership in Washington County. lit.tin's HEROlSM. —General Grant once trusted General Blair in command of an ex pedition through lower Tennessee and Mis sissippi. Upon his return General Grant ashed him if he had captured any prisoners. "No," answered the valiant General, "but I've burned a d—d sight ot houses, and cap tured all the niggers '!" Magnanimous hero, "Captured all the niggers."- l'rohably that is why be wag nominated for Vice President. Seymour's friends captured and burned the negro orphans. That is why he was nomina ted for President. Mt'stcat. —We have just received trom the publishers.

WISE.—A Democratic paper, after noticing a Seymour ratification meeting exultingly ex claims: "The goose hangs high!" Wise goose. Thoughtful bird. He knows his dun ger wben Seymour's "friends'' congregate, FORMING GRANT CLUBS. —VYe have been frequently asked for information with regard tothe mode of forming Grant clubs. "6 offer the following plan, copied from the New York Tribune which we think a very good one.' Let our friends act upon it: "Let any voter who thinks it high limn move in the matter write off these words: FOR GRANT AND COLFAX. We invite our fellow-citizens of town* ship who desire the election of Grant and Collax to unite with us in forming a Grant Club ut ,on day, inst., at —p. m. . [Here follow the signatures. J Hang this call up a* the post office, in the store of some Republican merchant, or in some other public place where it will not be subject to defaceineut, and let all sign it who will. At the time designated in the call which may well be a Saturday evening—try to have as many present as possible, no matter wbelh. er they have or have not signed the call. Let one of the most substantial and tespecledciti zens be called to the chair, and let a younger man he made secretary of the meeting. Let those present then resolve that the club shall be formed, and proceed tbereupon to elect for it a President, two Vice-Presidents, and two Secretaries, who shali agree between them selves which of them shall surely lie present at each meeting alternately, so as to he certain that at least one will be in attendance at every meeting. If the President should be absent, call one of the A*ice-Presidents to the chair. Choose no man fur any office who is not deservedly respected and trusted: but try to select live men, who are at once active and popular. An active merch ant or doctor for President, with two farmers or mechanirs for Vice-Presidents, and two young clerks, journeymen, or farmers' sons for Secretaires, will often be found a good working foice. We cannot consider any constitution or by laws necessary; and we believe they of. aer make trouble than prevent it. If you thills otherwise, appoint a committee to repert them; but we predict that you will find them more plague than profit. At your second meeting, make an Executive or Working Committee, and you may as well at your fi-st meeting appoint a Committee to report the names of proper persons to constitute this Committee. It should be composed of one member from each school district, with one or two extra in the central or most populous d s trict; and it should be composed of men wio will each report to said Executive Committee the name and bearings of er erg voter in his district, also of every one entitled to be law fully made a voter, within three weeks from the date of his appointment. He should also be ready to report the names of all to whom it is desirable thai ]>apers and documents should be sent. It mag or may not be adrisablt to let others beside the Exeat!ice Committee see this list of voters, trith their politics; but theg should hare it at all events, and hare it soon. It is the basis of all efficient work. By-and-by, when the weather has become cooler and the farmers' work is not so hurrying, it may be well to hold public meetings and invite speakers to address you. We judge that about one-third of the stumpers of either party do their cause more good than harm. But do not let your organization degenerate into a spouting club, but hold regular meetings tor earnest and efficient WORK. COMING OVER. —A gentleman writing from the interior of New York says: "I find here a number of old Democrats going for Grant, though they voted for McClellan in 1864. Seymour does not please the people here, and Blair is still worse." Such is the case al most everywhere. Even here in Bedford and throughout the county, the Union ranks are being almost daily augmented by accessions of honest men from the demoralized remnant of the once powerful Democratic party. Hur rah ! WASN'T THERE. —Quantrell, the man who, during the war, headed the band of cut throats who massacred the peaceful citizens of Law rence, was NOT in the New York Demo cratic Convention. We make this statement itt order to correct the idea that all the gue rillas and murderers of the South were there because Forrest and Hampton were. Guan trell is dead, we believe, and conspquintly could not be a delegate. If alive be would undoubtedly support Seymour. "FARM TALK." —This is the title of a neat little work in paper cover, just published by Lee A Shepard, Boston.

Any in formation in regard to his whereabouts will be thankfully received by his afflicted moth er, Louisa Badger.— Fulton Uepublican. NOMINATED. —Abram Wilson, ot Somerset ami George McGovern, of Fulton, were Boniinatcd by the Democrats on last Tuesday for the Legisla ture. (.'apt ain T. H. Lyons, of this place had the pleasure of being nicely shelved by the De mocracy. It is no use. Only such soldiers as Blair can get a Democratic nomination. Soldiers who went into the army as Democrats, fought and came out as Democrats need expect nothing from the Democratic patty of to-day. The hon ors are conferred upon such men as Blair, Hamp ton and Forrest- Deny it, who can. At'tJt LANG SYNE. HADE Hampton says the workingmen of the South must vote the Democratic ticket or starve. There's the crack of the old slave drivers' whip for you. Do you hear it, workingmen of the North ? Arise then, in your might, and by your bal lota overthrow this accursed theory of human bondage, this WHITE SLAVERY, and annihilate the men who uphold it. Awake!

NOTICE. —AII the late monthly Magazines for sale at the INQUIRER Book Store. f prrinl rlbtirw. Lassitude. A feeling of lassitude is generally experienced throughout the summer solstice. Weakly con stituted persons or those of sedentary habits in variably complain of this annoyance. The scorch ing heat of mid-summer relaxes the system and reduces the vital eaergies. If the patient is of a nervous temperament this debility unfits hiui for even the ordinary rontine of every day life. When this state of exhaustion comes on HOS TETTEK'B STOMACH BITTERS will prove a sale and never-failing means of strengthening and restoring the physical organization. This bcalth giviug tonic purifies and infuses renewed vitality into the blood, tones the stomach and digestive organs, and acts like a charm on the nervous sys tem. It effectually removes all tendency to lan guor or depression of spirits. To the weaker sex it is invaluable, as it soothes and braces up, while its powerful effects are of the most bencfu eial character. The infirmities of age are allevi ated by its use. It revives the strength, increases the appetite and gives vigor and elasticity to the constitution. When mothers are nursing HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTEKS should especially lie taken in regular doses, as in this country, most always, the nourishment is inadequate to the wants of the child. In such eases this inestimable tonic is wonderfully efficacious. Its strengthening vir tues arc at once apparent. It is free from all properties calculated to impair the system, and its operations are at once mild and soothing. MARRIED. On the 21st ult., in East Providence to., by the Rev. G. C.
