ITSie Bedford Gazette. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. THE SABBATH SCHOOLS connected iv'th the Presbyterian and German Reformed Churches of 'his place, had a pic-nic at Bed ford Springs on Tuesday last, (he Presbyterian school under the superintendence of John Mow £sq.. and the German Reformed under that P J John P. Heed, Esq. It was a treat not only L latht , children, but also to the older persons in attendance. A cheering sight, indeed, was it st 0 watch the sportive gambols of merry child |iooCj indulging in the innocent amusements of Ife occasion— t!)e hillside ramble—hide-and- ! OSP pk—and other harmless pastimes in which yogth delights. A sumptuous dinner was serv ed up, and in the afternoon, after every body had enjoyed the affair to his, or her, entire satis, faction, Col. Gossler, the courteous President o! Tl ie Springs Company, furnished for the enter tainment of the crowd, a rich dessert of cak. If an d dainties of every description. In short ev il t , rv body was delighted with the pic-nic and bad food reason for being so, too. ■ HO! FOR THE "FAIR".— Some of thi enterprisng citizens of our town are agitating the subject ol holding a "Fair"during the com in<r month. There is nothing which developer the "lat-nt energies" of a community more thai the cenerous rivalry occasioned by an exhibi tion of their industrial liopbi' S. The peacefu emulation instigated by "Fairs" brings abou one half of the reforms-made in Agriculture Horticulture, dec.,&c. Therefore, we say, let thi matter be encouraged. Let every one who feel favorable to the progressive spirit of our country interest himself in the project and he will bi amply repaid for his (rouble. We are inform edlhetime for holding the Fair, will be-tln "Ist, 223 and 231 days of October next. WE ARE INFORMED that A.J. Hite Esq. fomerlv of Somerset county, is about starting i new Democratic paper in Johnstown, Pa., ti be called the "National Democrat ." Mr. Hit. is one of the best practical printers in Western Pennsylvania and we have r,o doubt that his pa per will be a model of neatness and taste. H is also a writer of force and ability, and we ex pert to see him do much goad with his pen, fb the Democracy of "little Cambiia." A A 'UMBER of typographical errors occur red ioour last issue which we, now, beg leav. to correct. At the head of the first editorial the word " hypocrisy " was misspelled, "hvpoc racy." in the article headed, "Hon. \Vm.

"American Meeting," the words "which wil last" should be supplied before "lo! these man years,'' and the sentence should have read.— It is plainly to fie seen, therefore, that there i a bitter feud between the Abolitionists and Ik "Antrir. inswhich will last, lo! these mar,, years. ihe fact is that in the hurry of goin; to press, last week, (some of our hands being sicl whir.i put us in a "drag |we managed to mak. nearly as many mistakes inotthography as Wil II mot (ii.l in orlhtppy in bis speech on Tuesdai evening of Court week.

Boil ti. e carrots sep arately, and then cut them in small pieces of an inch long, ami a quarter of an inch thick: pare the lemons very thin, boil the peels thoroughly, and cut them like the carrots; then put in the juice of the lemons; boil the syrup over next day until quite thick, and after you have flavor !
