The holidays to many dull and dreary, appear to have lost none of their importance with A. B. and lady for with Christinas morning the preparation for the entertainment of ail their friends and acquaintances were complete. At almost every hour parties could be seen wen ding their way toward the brick mansion. Early in the evening the Republican Silver Band joined the throng and enlivened the occasion with some new music. AYER'S AMERICAN ALMANAC, for IB6'J, has been received by B. F. Harry, agent, fur de livery gratis, to all who call for it. This number contains proofs to show that some of the stars have existed for sixty millions ot years. We had not supposed such proof pos sible, but the Doctor gives it in a shape which seems indisputable. His witticisms have long made his book acceptable; his medical advice makes it indispensable to families, and now he adds the most startling problems of abstract science to its attractions.

DEAR SIR:—It is with much pleasure that 1 say to you that I consider the PLANTATION BITTERS of untold value. In the fall of 1867 I was taken with Chills and Fever, with the most severe pains in tny chest and head. It was with great difficulty that 1 could breathe. My lungs were greatly distressed, and there was severe pain in my right side, by spells. I could hardly get up from iny bed. I called a Poctor, who attended me all winter without the least benefit. About the first of August I commenced using your PLANTATION BITTERS a wine glass full three limes a day—and ban; used it most of the time since, and I am fow well and stroug, able to do all my own work aud the care ola large family. Yours, &c., SUSAN WILSON. AXK GKISHIXG.—The Allotoui Tribune rays: The demand upon publisher! for gratuitous advertising, or "puffing," as it is called, has became so exorbitant, of late, that the fra ternity feel like shutting off. The large class of perßons who regard a newspaper office as a huge grindstone, upon which they may Freely sharpen chipped axes, are offered some good counsel by a cotemporary, which we cannot retrain from copying:— "A correspondent who sent us some days ago a communication of nine foolscap pages advocating the claim of a certain candidate for office, rakes exception to our notice that all such ciimmuni'a!ior.s will be inserted at advertising rates. lie asks, rather indig nantly, il public spirit does not prompt us to publish such matter without charges? Well not much. If printers, paper makers and iuk makers, will agree to lake their pay in the article of public spirit, we'll thiuk about it." 1 here is food for reflection in these few sentences. Not a day but tbe printer is ask ed to give labor, paper, ink and wear and tear of materials, all of which cost money, and not a little of it either, to some, organization or object for nothing. Pursuits asking for these gratuities from printers, would be ashamed to ask a store keeper 1o throw in a dress pattern, on account of their having purchased a couple pounds of sugar. We can assure our Altoona friend that Bedford is no exception to the general rule. A merchant asks you to advertise bis wares at half price and then growls if you do not agree to send him your paper and puff' him every week gratis. If you go to that same man to buy he is sure to charge you the highest price, be cause as he says he has to lake his pay in trade, while it you were, in imitation of him, to ak him to throw in a pair of bocts or a but he would think you an idiot and very properly 100, for he who would think of ask ing such a man to do a liberal deed can be but little better thau an idiot. Tbe heat thing printers can do is to let such men grind their own axes. A PROSPEROUS SABBATH SCHOOL. —The Lutheran Sunday School of this place held its regular anniversary on the evening of Christ mas day. After singing and prayer a neat and appropriate address was delivered hy J. M. Reynolds, principal of the Union School. After the address, the report of the school for the past year was read by 11. Nieo denius E-q, from which it appears that there were in attendance during the year SOOscho! ars and 23 teachers. The average attendance of scholars was 100 and the lowest on any one sabbath was 70. Thirty seven thousand five hundred and sixty one verses were com mitted. The highest number committed was 13,426 by Henry Ltpple. The school is fur nished with a choice library of 400 volumes, carefully selected and a large portion of tbero new. The Sabbath school is not only the nursery of the church hut is ot itself one of the most efficient instrumentalities for storing the minds of the Joflng with the great truths of the bible, which later iu life preserve many from moral shipwreck, la this respect the work of committing various portions of the bible to memory is too much overlooked. The truths thus implanted iu the youthful mind go with tbetn through life and are often the =""* "f their conversion. Let pareDts, teachers and all connected with the work of instructing the young in the church remem ber this and do all in their power to help and encourage the work of the Sabbath school. EXEMPTION OF MORTGAGES FROM TAXATION. i be law passed by our Stale Legislature at the last session, and approved April 4th 1863, exempting certain obligations contracted in the purchaseor improvement of real estate, went into praeticle operation on the Ist of December. Its provisions will enable bnr rowers of money upon real estate •- more readily and upon fwt terms than would otherwise have beer, ihecase.

MEETING.—The meeting heretofore announced by us, held at Orbisonia. Huntingdon County, ou Tuesday, was an eminent success. A much larger number of people attended it than had even been anticipated, whilst tbe interest it devel oped in favor of the great through connection of the Chesapeake A Lake Erie Railroad, was both general and earnest. Mess. Pott, Miles and Nelson of this place, besides rep resentatives from Ayr township. Fort Little ton and Burnt Cabius attended, whilst Hun tingdon county was represented very numer ously. Mr. Alexander, President of tbe Mid die Creek R R Company, at present con structing a road from Lewistown on the Penna. Central up to Northumberland form ing a in ire direct connection with New York, was present and directed the attention of the meeting to the vast importance of completing tbe connection by the projected C. & L. E. road. Mr. Pott, of this place, John Dough erty Esq., of Mt. Union, and other leading citizens of Huntingdon County, addressed the meeting, in encouragement of the enter prise. Practical steps were taken toward raising the funds to secure the survey. Tbtreis not a particle of doubt, that Huntingdou County will do her full share !as the other interested localities have done} to thut end. The proceedings will be published in our next issue.— Fulton Democrat. MAKE YOUR HOMES PLEASANT.—Many of our citizens are about to build bouses the coming season for private residences. Let every one who builds a boms for himself ard Limiiy remember that nothing will assist more in making his home look pleasant and inviting than a grass plot in front. Be sure to leave room between your house and the street for the grass plot however small, let it be large enough, if you can. to contain flow erg and shrubbery, but if this cannot bs, be sure to reserve a tew teet for a plain grass plot. It will add more to the attractiveness of your home than any outward ornamenting of the building. They commit a grevions error, who build their dwelling houses close upon the street, and spoil the beauty of our town by giving osriothing but the monotonous hot red brick crowding close upon the paremeuts. Let us have a lew green spots, for ornament, for comfort and for our own enjoyment. Many of the new towns of the country get their reputation for beauty almost entirely trom tbe rustic appearance obtained by building back from the streets and or namenting their grounds with flowers and shrubbery and surrounding the whole with a tasteful fence. Let our citizens try the effect of such a system oi ornamentation. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE for December unite*. with other voiced of the seat-on in re minding us that time is pas-iug away.

DEDlCATlON. —Alluquippa Lodge Mo. 547, 1. 0. O. F. of Hopewell dedicated their new hall ou Mew Year's day, Dr. C. N Elickok D. D. G. M. officiating. Although the weather was very disagreeable the crowd of people was creditably large; nearly all the lodges of the order in Bedford and the adjacent counties were well repre sented. Owing to the detention of trains caused by a landslide two tniles south "f Hopewell, the ceremonies which were to have come off during the forenoon wete postponed till the afternoon to give the Lodges from Bedford and Bloody Bun an opportunity to participate in the exercises. About 3 o'clock the procession was formed in front of the Odd Fellow's building and headed by the Silver Cornet Bind 6ro Bedford •■arched to the M. L.

The procession then march ed back to the hall where the dedicatory ceremonies were performed. SAVE YOUR MONEY—Quick—There is a good deal of alarm felt on account of the probability that ibe Supreme court will pro nounce the Legal Tender Act unconstitutional. The result of this it is supposed will be to make gold the standard of value in the pay ment of ail debts, in which case it is supposed that green backs will be subject to a heavy di count. I nder these ciicutnstances it be comes tne interest of every man to pay off all the debts he can at once with the greenbacks before they depreciate. We are ready to re ceivn greenbacks on all accounts due ns, if they come in right speedily so that we can pay off our own debts with them. But ifguld is made the standard and greenbacks decline, all who have failed to pay before that time will have to pay in the money that jingles. Couie along with y our greenbacks quickly. HEARTH AND HOME is the title of a new paper, of which the initial number is on our table. It is edited by Donald O. Mitchell and Harriet Beecher Stowe; judging from its ap pearance and contents and the high character and ability of its editors we predict lor it a wide popularity and generous support. We seldom commend new publications until they have shown themselves worthy of Commenda tion but "Hearth and Home" in its first number gives abundant promise of being all iu title suggests and we have uo hesitation in recommending it to all who are in want ol pleasant instructive and entertaining fireside reading, whether in town or country, Pub lished by Peftengill, Bates A Co 47 Park Kqw New lork.

It is not known how the fl e originated though it is thought by some persons, that it was caus ed by wood, which had been left on the stove in the evening to dry for next moruiug's fire, becoming ignited and as the pieces burned dropping on the flo&r. Others say' it caught from the stove pipe. About a hundred dol lars had been spent on the building last fall, iu the way of repair, and this is a sad mishap for onr Cove friends for as they know how to ap preciate good school-houses, they will deeply feel the loss at this time.

Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universally adopted into use, in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedy than any other. Those who have used it, know that it cured them: those who have not, know that it cures their and friends, and all know that what it does once it dues al ways—that it never fails through any fault or Leglect of its composition. Wc have thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures arc known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish them Adapted io all ages and con ditions in ail climate?; containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, they muy be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves | thein ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, \ while being purely vegetable no barm can arise i from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the | internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action —remove the obstructions \ of the stomach, bowels, liver, and" other organs of 1 the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangements as aro the first origin of dis ease. Minute directions arc given in the wrapper oa the box, for the following complaints, which these Pills rapi-lly cure: For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Restlessness, Dun~ juur and Loss of Appetite, they should betaken moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liver Complaint and its various symptoms, BiTsw Headache, Eicl- Headache, Jaundice or 'trr-n Sicbuees, llilious Colic and Biliout F evert, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remuvethe obstruc tions which cause it FuV Dysentery or Diarrhae, but one mild dose is generally required. For Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Palpitation of 'he Heart, Pain in the Side, Back aud Loins , they should be continuously takeu, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change these oe'taneß in targe' iha ireqifent Hoses 'Vu prbaufid the ofi'e .t of a drastic purge. For Suppressions a large dose should betaken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach aud boweis into heaitby action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. ITence it is often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dote of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. * Dn. J. C. AVER.
