TO BUSINESS .MEN. People from every part of the county bay more or less in Bedford, therefore every business man who is wide awake and advertizes liberally wants to reach as many as possible ot the people of the county. The INWIIRKR has the largest circula tion of any paper in the county, and is therefore the best advertising medium in the county. Bus iness me* can note the fact. XotiU Affairs. aPS CO ICE — quite a number of persons are taking advantage of the late cold spell, to fill their ice-houses. THE lot (Mrs. Duffey's) at the Comer Pitt and Thomas streets, was sold at public sale on Friday last to D. W. Crouse, for sBll. WE call the attention of parties wishing to purchase desirable properties, to an advertise ment of a desirable house and lot in Duncans vilie, Blair Co. Pa. and of twenty acres of land near the Chalybeate Spring. THE attention of farmers is called to the advertisement of Johu W. Barndollar, Bloody Run Station. John is a clever fellow, an energetic business man, and possesses supe rior facilities for furnishing the commodities he advertises. OSCE A MONTH is on hand and contains Street Tumblers, Snake eating, Death and the seasons, The impossible woman, A mon ster of the deep, The Prince and the Widow Ac., It is one of the most entertaining, in structive, and readable magazines of the day. Address T. S. Arthur A SOBS. , Philadelphia. ENLARGED —The Tazewell Republican now comes to us greatly enlarged and improved. Its accomplished editor, Hon. W. W. Sellers, formerly of Fulton County, deserves great credit for the ability and energy displayed in the management and improvement of his pa per. Success attend him. THE Holidays are almost upon us: Quite a number of persons in search of fine Christmas presents have called at the INQUIRER Book Store, and found what they wanted. We have still enough to supply the wants as we are constantly receiving goods from the City something new every day. Call before it is too late. THE Good Templar festival at the Court house on Friday evening last was qnite a suc cess. The ladies deserve much credit for the interest they manifested in this cause. The oysters ice-cream, turkey, good hot coffee, Ac were highly appreciated by their patrons. About eighty dollars were realized—"Come again" ROPBERY—A Frenchman, in the employ of J. Budsli, tailor of this borough, on Friday last, decamped from Mrs. Jennie Zimmer man's where he had been boarding, taking with him a watch and some small change belonging to his landlady and some cloth, muslin, A., from the shop wherein be was employed. This Knight of the shears is eaid to be about thirty-eight years of age, of dark complexion, with black goatee and moustaches. He claims to do a little Tentriloquism. His last role here was rather in the way of prestidigi tation.—Blair County Radial. WOLVES ABOPT. —We hear it reported that on Friday last, Geo. Rittenhouse, Absolem Wagner, and others, of Granville township, were hunting deer, in Licking Creek Valley, near the big thicket, a pack of eight or ten wolves gave Mr. Rittenhouse chase. He fired, breaking the leg of the foremost, and fired again breaking its jaw." The rest of the hunters coming up with the dogs, Mr. R. was enabled, after some difficulty, to finally dis patch the ferocious varmant. It is said to have measured six feet from the tip of the tail to the nose, and an examination of its stomach showed that it had been feeding upou deer menu—Le wist own Democrat. CLEAS VP. —Our pavements are in a miser able condition, the ice and snow, have ren dered them almost impassable. Ladies are compelled to stay in doors, or take the pike for it, on account of the negligence of our good people in cleaning their pavements, and men are unable to get along unless fortified with gums. This is all unnecessary and at the least is a very bad sign ot civilization. Juliana street and the north side of Pitt are in a respectable condition but the rest of the side walks with a few exceptions are in a mis erable condition. Every man should clean the snow and ice off his own pavement for his own benefit if his selfishness will not allow him to accommodate the public generally, i here Is a great deal of sickness fevers, cold Ac., arising from damp feet, which might be checked or prevented altogether if our pave ments were kept in a proper condition. A word to the wise ia sufficient. Let us hope for an improvement. j SAI.E or THE LEMNOS k BEDFORD FORGE I PROPERTIES TO THE JOHNSTOWN IROS COMPA KY. —In answer to inquiries concerning this sale we received the following from oar friend Cot. J. F. Lowry. HOPEWELL, Bedford County, \ Pa., Dec. I.sth IS6B / JOHN LCTZ, ESQ. — Dear sir: Your favor of the 12th, iost., at hand and contents noted. In relation to your inquiry in regard to the sale of the "Lemnos k Bedford Forge Properties to the Cambria Iron Company of Johnstown Pa. I would say, that the sale was consnmaled about the first of November last, and the price paid is generally under stood to be $40,000. In regard to your inqui ry as to the probabilities of this company erecting Furnaces for the purpose of smelting their ore in this valley, I cannot say, as I presume there has been no definite action taken by the company in regard to what would be their interest in the premises, and in this particular the contributor to the Moody Run Dress'' has got a head of the Cambria Company themselves, when he says, "The people of Hopewell Township, were rejoiced a short time ago in the prospect of the Johnstown Company commencing large business operations on the old Lemnos property. But those bright anticipations have been sadly blighted by tba intelligence that the purchase of this property was only made tor the purpose of securing the valua ble ore that lies imbeded in it, with the inten tion of shipping it to the Company's works at Johnstown." In forming an opinion as to what the Cambria Company may eventually do, I think the citizens of Bedford county may come to a correct conclusion by the re flection that the extraordinary success :ten4- | ing the Cambria Company, has only been ob ! tained by proper and judicious management, ; and this being true of the past it is but fair to | presume that a like policy will be inaugurated in the development of the property in ques tion. So the answer to your question will be simply found in this, that if we are able to demonstrate to the Cambria Company that it would be to their advantage to manufac ture the raw materia! on ground where there is an abundance of coal, ore and limestone rather than to ship their ore to Johnstown over two railroads then we will have Fur naces erected and that speedily. Feeling confident that the advantages are in our fa vor let the citizens of our county who would be directly interested in the establishment of manufactures among us, awake to theimport ance of holding out every inducement in their power to accomplish so desirable a result, and by adopting this spirit show to th : s com pany, who have got the means and the dispo sition, that we wish them to come and assist us in the development of our county. The new Furnace at Riddlesbtirg has pro gressed rapidly up to the present cold snap, which will retard operations somewhat. This Furnace is being built under the direction of David Worden, Esq., and will be found to be, when completed, one of the most sub stantial structures of the kind in our State. Yours Truly, L. DEMOCRATIC LITERATURE.— It is said that a New Englander is busily engaged selling Democratic works in this county, that the works are thrilling incidents of the N'igger and I Dgin Ac., and that the agent, though an entire stranger in the community is thorough ly posted as to the whereabouts of every dis ciple of the "lost cause" and can readily dis tinguish the object of his search from a rad ical Republioen. No doubt the Democracy of Bedford County greatly feel the need of books, and it would be a favorable change in their line if they would turn their attention that way, but unfortunately the people have been gulled and flooded with such documents, as the above purport to be, that they have become entirely disgusted with them and now since they have realized that those doctrines are false fry the ignominious defeat of their candidates, who upheld and preached them over the country, it is no wonder that a yank should receive the cold shoulder at the hands of what were heretofore zealous con stitutional Democrats. Be sure you are get ting the worth of your money, and bear in mind, that an Eastern gent distributed a few "lockets'' ift this vicinity on a certain occa sion. Later—at latest accounts the "Nigger Su premacy" book man who like a great number of Democrats in conformance with the instruc tions of their legal advisors, was defrauding the Government by doing business without a license, —but the gent was unceremoniously picked up in his swindling arrangements by Revenue officer Helm, who made him come up to the requirements of the law, to the tune of eleven dollars and fifty cents. Equal taxa tion 'ats all. A COWARDLY ASSASSINATION.— On Sunday night last a most villainous, cold-blooded as sassination was perpetrated at I.onacouing, the victim being Mr. Douglas Love, a Scotch man and boss-miner for the Central Coal Company. About 7 o'clock, or a little later, on the evening mentioned, Mr. Love was sitting in bis own bouse, when someone rap ped at the door: a boy attended the call, and found two men there who asked for Mr. Love: the boy invited tbem to walk into the hou3e, but they declined, stating that they were on their way to Frostburg, and wanted to see Mr. Love. On hearing his name mentioned Mr. Love started for the door, and as soon as he came in sight of the men, both of them fired on him simultaneously, one of the balls entering Lis left breast. He immediately turn ed and walked into the next room for his revolver, afterwards walked back to the door, and fell, expiring in a few minutes. The cowardly assassins disappeared so quickly that no clue was obtained as to their identity, but we trust that no effort will be spared to ferret them out. Mr. Love leaves a family, and many very warm friends to mourn his ultimate death. The event created the greatest consternation and sorrow amongst the people of that neigh borhood. — Cumberland Civilian and tele graph. PROGRESS. —CoIumbus sailed to the Ameri can coast in a four bundred ton ship, and first landed upon the island of St. Domingo. Last week a vessel from St. Domingo unload ed in New York over four hundred tons of St. Croix Rum for P. 11. Drake & Co., of that city. This is but a few weeks' supply of this article, which these gentleman use in the manufacture of the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS. We are informed by an exchange that Messrs. DRAKE A Co. have not adver tised a dollar for a year, but that the sales of this article continue at the former enormous figure. In 1864, the receipts of the PLANTA TION BITTERS were equal to those of the New York A New Haven Railroad.

AH persons wishing to complete the work by obtaining the second volume can obtain it or the complete work by leaving their orders at the INQUIRER Book Store. tf THE SSOW—W G have been keeping a look out to see how our neighbors have been fa ting iu the storm. The result of our observa tions thus far has been as follows; -Snotr. On last Friday night snow fell to the depth of about 15 inches. On Saturday our town was full of sleds and sleighs, and the merry jingle of bells greeted us from every side. On Sunday night more snow commenced to fail und continued falling du ring Monday, and we have now about 30 iuches of snow, with high drifts rendering the roads impassable.— Somerset Democrat. Snow. On Friday last snow fell here to the depth of one foot. On the following Monday another foot fell on top this, making two feet of snow. Monday night and all day Tuesday, a terrible storm raged, drifting the snow mountain high, and scaling up all the high ways and byways in the neighborhood. The Ebensburg branch traiu made its last trip Monday evening—it has failed fo get through since. These are some of the pleasures inci dent to living on The Mountain in winter. —Ebensburg Alleghenian. SHOUT. On Friday last this region was visi ted by a heavy snow storm. Snow commenc ed to fall Friday morning, and by midnight the ground was covered to the depth of about nine inches. Saturday and Sunday the weather was quite moderate and the snow melted somewhat, but on Monday morning before daylight about four inches more of snow fell, enveloping houses, trees, and all nature in a cloak of pure white. In the western part of the cour.ty the ground is covered to the depth of two feet, and on the railroads are drifts from six to ten feet in depth. No trains arrived from the Woat in the Rsittimore and Ohio Railroad from Monday night until yesterday afternoon —the drifts near Altamont forming a block ade. r lhe trains on the Cumberland and Pennsylvania ltailioad have been retarded also, aud roads generally iu this county are blocked up. The weather for two days has been freezing cold, with sweeping winds. — Cumberland Civilian and Telegraph. The Weather. Thick and fa -1 come the snows. Already we have had three of them. The first in November, full two feet deep. Two iu December up to this date, respectively six inches aud twenty inches in de; :h. The first was evanescent aud soon disap peared. The second came and the third fol lowed in rapid succession and both rema.n with us still with a fair prospect of an indefi nite sojourn. Siuce the fall of the last snow (on Monday last) the weather has become exceedingly "rigid and frigid,"' to use the term of a 'weather wiser" has been doing bis best to blockade the highways, but notwithstanding, the young folks are trying to make use of the opportunity and the merry jingle of sleigubelis is cotitinully enlivening our streets. But, oh! how cold, aud wood per cord.— Fulton Democrat. Snow. On Friday last, we hid a severe snow-storm, followed by a third on Sunday night. Snow fell to the depth of about 6 in chea. followed by a cold snap. Thus far the season has beeu unusually open, with little or no ice.— Gettysburg Star and Sentinel. IT Truss OCT that it is the publishers of the Galaxy who have secured that greatest of the year's literary prizes—the new serial story, by Charles Reade, for which the popu lar author, it is said, is to receive fifty thous and dollars, from them and from bis English publishers. The new story will be commen ced early in the year. The Galaxy has also purchased the advanced sheets of the new story, by Mrs. Edwards, the author of '•Steven Lawrence, Yeomon," and "Archie Lovell," two of the most successful of recent novels. This attractive serial will be com menced in the January number. With these two authors among its stars, The Galaxy promises to shine brilliantly during the com ing year. Richard Grant White, whose scholarly articles on "Words and their I'ses," have been doing so much for good English, is to contribute to the volume for ISfiD, a series of payers on "Americanisms."

NOW 18 THE TIME TO SECURE A CHEAP NEWSPAPER FOR THE COMING YEAR. The Republicans of Pennsylvania achieved a glorious victory in October and November, by electing their State and National candi dates. notwithstanding the immense frauds committed by our political opponents. It now remains with the people to see that the standard bearers of our glorious party are properly sustained in their efforts to establish confidence in the stability of our institutions, renewed activity in all its branches of indus try, ar.d the restoration of amity aud good fellowship with all the people of our common country. THE GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST. While personally we desire rest from the political turmoil, at least for a while, we can not close our eyes to the fact that'our ever vigilant opponents are already preparing for the Gubernatorial contest next year: ana as we believe that in time of peace we should prepare for war, we would exhort our politic al friends to make preparations for coming contingencies at once, and CIRCULATE THE NEWSPAPERS among your neighbors. If you bare a Re publican paper in your county that is true and reliable to the joarty, it should be preferred .to those printed in other countries. After you have done this, and yon and your friends ! desire a true and reliable Republican journal from abroad, we would recommend to you either the WEEKLY OR DAILY TELEGRAPH. They are published at the seat of our Stato Government, and will contain full reports of the doings of the National and Slate Legisla tures. They will sustain our triumphantly elected leaders in the establishment of ''Peace" all over the land with all the power they can command. TERMS OF THE DAILY: 1 eopy, one year. $6 00 5 copies in one package (per copy,) 5 00 10 copies, one year, in one package (pc club,) 45 00 1 copy, during the Bession of the Legis lature . 1 50 10 copies, daring the session of the Leg islature 10 00 TERMS OF THE WEEKLY: 1 copy, one year $1 50 5 copies, " (per copy) 1 25 10 copies, " " 1 00 Clubs of from 20 to 50 will be furnished at lower rates. These terms will hardly pay for the cost of the white paper on which the Telegraph is printed, and therefore the cash must accom pany the order. Address. GEO. BEEGNER. n0v27:68 Harrisburg Pa.
