fH President at Hafer's lelei—On Sat
..jiy last, at 11 o'clock, A. M., Mr. Buchanan
TIME into town & stopped at the BEDFORD ilo
-. kept by John Hafer, Esq. Here a
ruber of his personal and political friends eall
i unon hm and tendered their congratulations,.
, tie. A first-rate dinner was served up to
... company present to which all did ample I
: rice. What a striking contrast would be j
preseoted, were this simple Republican meal
ruerreotyped aad placed side bv side with a
• ictureof the exclusive banquets of European
royalty!
In the afternoon the President received the)
~,0(1 wishes of the ladies of Bedford at the resi- j
■ nee of GenM. Bowman. .If hie visit to our
t .wa gave Mr. Buchanan as much pleasure as it i
:j ur citizens, we do not hesitate to say that he
enjoyed it.
Tilt. BKiiASAVS DEPARTURE.—The
p.vsident, left here for Washington, on Tues- j
dav morning last. His health was much ;ir- ;
; ved during his stay at The Springs, his old
favorite summer retreat. May he live, often to
iaro to our delightful spa and to take by the
jural bis numerous friends in Bedford county. !
who are always glad to meet him and who test- .
bv their votes last (all, that the acts ol his!
life meet their hearty approval. He was escor
ted to Cumberland by GEN. BOWMAN, G. (1
SPANG, Esq., and JUT HE DACGHERTY.
fr*The number of visitors at The Spring* is
, '
declining. VVe are informed that there are -till ;
some two hundred (which is not a small num.
bet) present. Bedford Springs have been ex
tensively patronized this season and deservedly,
too. I
Bedford Classical School and Female
Seminary.—We direct the attention of our
readers to the prospectus of this Institution,;
published this week in our advertising columns.
We have no hesitancy in recommending it t >
those desirous of obtaining a thorough classical j
education, and to parents we would especially
mention it, as an excellent school for children.
We bespeak for it an extensive patronage.
On an Tour.—
We announced last week that General W. H.
Kooatz, of Somerset, was in town. We learn
that the General in company with Hon. J. R.
lldie, has gone to Huntingdon, arid that his
jvpose is to a!lay the troubled waters in that
county, which threaten to strand the little j
barque lie has launched on the ocean of poli
tics, and in which he intends to reach the havi-n
o: the Senator-ship. Which side of his "polit
ical rr.an*' he will show in Huntingdon, we
know not. We would advise him to wear a
vest, or coat of changeable silk, as a sort of in- :
bex to his political notions.
