THE BEDFORD GAZETTE.
Bedford, Bee. '2l, 1
G. W. Bowman, Editor and Proprietor-
Bemocratic County leeling!
The Democracy of Bedford County will meet,
in Mass meeting, at the Court House in Bedford
on MONDAY EVENING of the approaching Court
to choose conferees to meet those of Fulton and
Somerset to select a Senatorial delegate to the
next State Convention and to make other ar
rangements for a full and thorough organization
of the Democratic Party of Bedford County.—
It is hoped that every Democrat who can make
it convenient to attend will <1 > so. Several
speeches will be made on the occasion.
JOHN P. HEED,
Chairman County Committee.
CC7* Absence fwm home, lor several days, has pre
vented us from giving any attention to our editorial
columns.
GG?"Congress has not yet organized. The best part
of a month has now been spent by that Know Noth
ing body in trying to elect a Speaker, but without ef
fect! Whilst these beautiful are acting
out this farce, they are reckle>sly squandering about
fifty thousand dollars per day of the People's money,
according to the calculation of an intelligent gentle
man we met in Harrisburg a few days since—lor, by
the failure of the House to organize, the business of
Ihe Senate, together with all the other Departments
of the Government, have been brought to a dead
stand 1 And three are the " Americans" that desire
to rule "America !"
rry We invite attention to ttie advertisement of
Tiros. R. GF.TTVS, Jr., by which it will be seen that
he has fitted op a room in the "Exchange Building,"
and is prepared to take pictures of the finest style.—
Mr. Gettys' pictures ate good and handsome, and are
said to "snatch a grace beyond the reach of art."
i<r*SJT|#oaching; call and have your likeness
taken, and present it to your friend.
Exchange Hotel, liollitlaysbnrg, Pa.
017" Holiidaysburg has long been in want of a good
Hotel, and the "Exchange" can now bp styled such,
without any violation of the truth. It is kept by
J. WINUATK, Esq., and is conducted in a manner
that cannot fail to give entire satisfaction. The table
is as good as any reasonable person could desire—the
servants are attentive—and the beds and chambers
are clean and comfortable. Whilst Mr. WIXOATK
possesses all the qualifications of a good Landlord
within himself, his assistant, WM. F. BAIICOCK, Esq.
i- certainly one of the most accommodating and gen
tiemeoly men we have ever met as the manager of a
Hotel.
The "Exchange" has recently undergone a
thorough repair, being newly papered and painted—
and we take pleasure in recommending it as a Hotel
every way worthy the patronage of the travelling
public.
Another of the clever gentlemen to be found about
the "Exchange" is A. HKAKMITT, Esq., agent for
the Hack running between that place and Bedford,
who does all in his pown to render comfortable those
who travel the road, which, like most of country
roads, is very rough at this season of the year. This,
however, is no fault of the Proprietors of the Line.
Robbery of the Arsenal.
[{./""JAMES A. DRANE, Superintendent of the
State Arsenal at Harrisburg, has been arrested
and is now in the Dauphin County Jail on a
charge of abstracting and fraudulently disposing
of certain arms belonging to the Commonwealth.
A. Cont'dv, a member elect to the Legislature
from Philadelphia, and at present conductor on
the Pennsylvania Rail Road, is also strongly
implicated in this dirty transaction, and has
been bound over to answer at the approaching
Criminal Court in Harrisburg, which takes
place in January, when all the facts connected
with the case will be fully developed. The
arms have been recovered and will be returned
to the Arsenal. An example will be set in this
case, which, we think, will he instrumental in
putting a check to Commonwealth stealing,
which lias been carrietl to an alarming extent
during the past fifteen or twenty years, a fact
generally admitted, whilst the ofleiiders have
escaped punishment. No class of men should
be so severely dealt with as those who violate
the sacred trust reposed in them of administer
ing the aflairs of government, whether in high
V more obscure places.
Gen. f ass autl the Presidency*
We are authorized (says the Washington Union,)
by General CASS to say that in the caucus of demo
cratic senators on Wednesday last he declared that
tie was 110 candidate for the presidency, and that he
was unwilling for his name to be presented as such
at the National Convention. Whilst General Cass
thus positively writhdraws his name from the presi
dential canvass, be has abated none of his zeal in be
half of democratic principles, and none of his patrio
tic devotion to the cause of the constitution and the
Union.
Since writting the above, we received the Peun
sylvanian of yesterday morning, which contains the
subjoined letter:
DETROIT, Nov. 2'i, 15.75.
GENTLEMEN : I have received your letter asking me
if I arn a candidate for the office of President of tlre
t inted States, and expressing the gratification it
would give you to support me lor that high station.
Whiie thanking you lor this manifestation of your
kindness and confidence,of which 1 shall always pre
serve a grateful recollection, I reply that 1 am not a
candidate for the presidency, nor do 1 desire that my
name should be presented iri connection with it to
the consideration of the democratic party of the U
riion.
1 am, gantlenieu, with great regard, truly yours,
LEWIS CASS.

of tlie 17th of November, by an Italian gambler
named Cossa.
Isaac B. Wall, Collector of the Port at Mon
terey, has been murdered near San Luis Chispo,
together with a companion named Thomas
Williamson.
The murder of Gen. Richardson had caused
intense excitement at San Francisco, and stren
uous efforts were being made by certain parties
to get the assassin out of the hands ot the au
thorities for the punpose of lynching him, but
these attempts had been frustrated by the thin
ness of the Sheriff.
Mr. Williamson who was killed in company
with collector Wall, was th" assessor of Monte
rey county. The murderers ol the latter gentle
man were supposed to be a party of Mexicans
and a trader named Corcia. Pursuit was made
by a party of Americans under the Sheriff of the

when a fight ensued, during which two of the
Sheriff's party were killed.

RECEPTION or THE KINO OF SA-KDINIA IN
PARIS. —The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, under date of November 23, writes:
The great event of this day is the arrival of
the King of Sardinia in Paris. From 11 o'clock
this morning* a.considerable portion of the pop
ulation of Paris tiiruriged toward the terminus
of the Lvotis railroad to receive, and welcome
with their acclamations, Victor Emmanuel.—
Though the MonHeur had announced that the
royal COr/ege would pass aiong the quavs and
the Rue de Rivoii, a great many houses on the
Boulevards, the clubs and theatres, were from
an earlv hour decorated with flags, displaying
the nalional colors of France, England, Sardi
nia, and Turkey.
The Cirque An poison, in particular, was re
marked for the elegance of its decorations.—
The Rue de Rivoli, the jtlacz of the Hotel de
Viile, and the quays—in fact, the entire line a
long which the King was to pass—were similar
ly adorned, as also the faqnade of the station and
the large court-yard. On the pi net itself de
tachments of lout chasseurs and of the line kept
tlie ground, and the guards of honor within the
court were selected from the grenadiers and vol
tigeurs of the Imperial Guard. A canopy of
crimson velvet, fringed with gold, hung over
the door of the waiting-room, which had been
transformed into a splendid saloon, hung with
red velvet, fastened up with gold.
Clusters of tiags belonging to the allied na
tions, with the name of V ictor Emmanuel, and
the shields with his roval arms, completed the
ornament. A rich carpet extended from the
doar to the path-way, on which the King was
to step from the carriage, and galleries to the
right and left had been prepared lor those who
were specially invited. A detachment of the
Cent-Gardes and Guides were drawn upon both
sides of the entrance to the waiting-room, and
seven of the imperial carriages awaited his Maj
esty and suite.
At !'2J o'clock Prince Napoleon left the Pa
lais Royal in a stale carriage, preceded by two
outriders wearing the imperial livery. Marshal
Magnan, Col. Fleury, the Prefects of the Seine
and Police, and a great number of public func
tionaries, civil and military, awaited Prince
Napoleon at the railroad station. The members
of the council of administration, the station mas
ters, and all the employes, were drawn up with
in.
.At 1 o'clock, precisely, the arrival of the
royal train was announced, and in five minutes
after the locomotive, decked out with the Sar
dinian colors, stopper! ; the drums beat to arms,
and the full hand of the Guides, who were sta
tioned at the entrance of the reception room,
struck up the .1 lurch o'e Snvtiic.
The King, who wore the uniform of a colonel
of Hussars, descended from the carriage, and
was received first by Prince Napoleon, whose
hand he shook warmly, and replied to the words
of welcome ol tlie Prince.
The loyal cortege entered the waiting room ;
the whole of the persons who filled it rose, and
received his Majesty with acclamations of "Vive
le Roi"Vive It Prince JS'apolron which
were taken up and repeated by the crowd which
thronged the court of the station arid the ap
proaches to it.
The carriages soon drove up in order at the
entrance, and the King and his attendants en
tered them. Prince Napoleon and his Majesty
entered the same carriage, which was preceded
by four outriders wearing the imperial livery,
and the whole of the cortege began to move in
the following order : A squadron ol Guides,
with the hand : three court carriages, preceded
each bv thr-e outriders ; the royal carriage, pie
ceded by outriders, and followed by a squadron
of Cent-Gardes. Colonel Fleury rode at the
right, and Col. New at the left, and a squadron
of the Cuirassiers of the Imperial Guard closed
tlie procession.
Though rain was failling, the crowd was con- ;
siderable along the line through which the King
passed, and received the royal visiter with warm
acclamations. The cortege soon alter entered
the Palace do Carousal by the passage of the
Pavilion de Rohan, and entered the Court of
the Tuilerms by the triumphal arch. The
drums were beating to arms, the troops present
ted arms, and the acclamations became louder
and louder as the King approached the Palace.
The apartments of the Pavilion Marsan ai -0
those occupied bv the King during his stay at
the Toil erics : and the aides-de-camp, orderly
officers, and physicians occupy the next apart
ments.
SMOKING MEAT.
A writer in the Reading Journal on this sub
ject, says :
"Smoking meat is rather ridiculed by some of
our eastern Yankees, but if the thing is well
done, we shall be encouraged, and continue to
do so notwithstanding.
"By some of our farmers it is often conducted
with carelessness, selecting for that purpose a
lot of old, half decayed stumps, wet and worm
eaten in the bargain. The idea of smoking with
wormy wood is not only unpleasant, but un
wholesome, for by the burning of animal sub
stance, empty retimatic oil is eliminated.
"If the srnokt* is made of wet and half rotten
wood, the wood is sour, the smoke bitter, and
mostly steam. I have often heard people ask
why it was that their meat drips so while smo
king. The reason is plain. I'se proper mate
rials (or making the tire, and there will be but
little steam, and consequently little water to
saturate the meat.
"For this purpose select dry materials, and
such as have not vet undergone any fermenta
tion or decomposition, and the smoke thereof
will he flavored after the peculiar woody fibre
burned. Corn cobs produce, accordingto some,
a "sweet smoke," containing little water, nmj
will he found to answer the purpose admirably.
"The method which, upon trial, I found to
answer best, was to engage some sawdust with a
sawyer, of live hickory, and this, before using,
dry in the oven.
"First kindle a fire with corn cobs, (but not so
large as ordinarily) cover with dried sawdust,
and lastly, throw upon this a few branches of
Juniper. This contains an essential volatile oil.
which will be found to mix with the smoke of
the cob and hickory, and imparts a very palata
ble and pleasant aroma to the meat. It beats
gin.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. —As the express
train from Harrisburg to this city upon the
Northern Central Railway was on its down
ward trip on Saturday morning last, it ran over
and caused the instantaneous death of an aged
lady nnn,eu Rebecca Foreman, a resident of this
city. The particulars of this deplorable affair
were detailed to us as follows :—As tire train
was running a short curve in the neighborhood
of Freeland, some thirty-three miles from this
city, the engineer discovered the lady about one
hundred yards ahead, walking on the track,
when lie immediately whistled down the breaks
upon the train and reversed his engine, but all
to no purpose as she was caught up by the cow
catcher and so mangled a* to cause immediate
death. The body was taken in charge by the
officers of the train and conveyed to Parkton
station, to which place C. C. Adreon, Esq., the
superintendent of the road, repaired as soon as
the affair was known here, with a view to hav
ing an inquest field over the remains and taking
charge of the same.— Baltimore Sun. Dec. 10th.
Br. I:A OSTITI S. —Speaking of the prevailing
high prices of breadstuff* and the immense sup
plies lor exportation which the country is capa
ble of affording, (he Buffalo Courier remarks :
There is hardly any limit to our surplus of
wheat and cm n, and if the demand abroad should
carry 100,000,090 bushels, which is almost four
times as much as we have ever expoited in one
year, there would still he an abundant supply for
home consumption. Strange as it may seem,
that with a large surplus on hand, fully equal
to supply the demand from abroad, prices should
rule so higli: it is, nevertheless, in obedience to
a law of trade, which makes a sudden impulse
push the market values beyond a due limit, as
well as to another law of trade which makes a
derangement in the ordinary channels of sup
ply, produce, for a time, all the consequences of
an actual scarcity.
TH AT ELOPEMENT CASE. — We staled on Wed
nesday (savs the Troy Traveller) that a woman
recently arrived at Chirago, from Kansas, with
the dead body of her husband, which she was
taking East lor burial, and that on the route she
fell in with a young man, arid on arriving at
Chicago they went off' together, leaving the
dead body of the husband in the depot. But it
seems that the latter part of the statement was
erroneous, for the woman forwarded the dead
body on,and it arrived in this citv on Saturday,
and she arrived with Iwr new husband on Mon
day, and the funeral of the deceased husband
was held at Waterford on Tuesday last.
