BEDFORD GAZETTE Bedford ltarcli, 2,1*60. B. F. Meyers, Editor and Proprietor. SPRING ELECTION. The Democratic voters of Bedford township, are requested to meet at the Court House, in Bedlord, on Saturday, the third day of March, next, to nominate a ticket for Township officers, to be supported at tbe coming Spring election. DA MEL FETTER, J. T. GEPHART, J. W.SCOTT, Vigilance Committee. . - 1 Foreshado wings. Recent elections in different parts of this State, have resulted in such overwhelming de feats of the Opposition, that we may safely con clude that a powerful re-action is at present go ing on in favor of the National Democracy. We have already given an account of the re sult in Lancaster, where the Democrats made a nett gain of 519 votes, since last fall, and also of that in Harrisburg, which was carried by the Opposition at the last general election, but which was recently redeemed to the Democra cy, by the handsome majority of 170 votes. We have now the satisfaction of adding Holli daysburg and Altoona, (both of which gave Opposition majorities, last fall) to the list of re generated boroughs. In Hollidaysburg the Democrats made almost a clear sweep, whilst in Altoona they lost but one or two of their nominees. No unusual local excitements iflu enced these elections. They were decided on the fair issue between Democracy and Section alism, between the conservative sentiment of the country and the political incendiarism of the followers ofjJohn Brown and the preachers of his gospel. But these results are merely thefaiat foreshadowings of "coming events," of victories which shall add fresh glory to the Democratic causp, of triumphs infinitely prou der and more brilliant, the election of a Dem ocratic Governor in October next, and the in auguration of a Democratic President on the fourth of March, 1861. Republican State Convention. This incongruous and heterogeneous assem blage met in Harrisburg, on Wednesday of last week, and nominated ANDREW G. CURTIN, of Centre county, as its candidate for Governor. Its sessions were a scene of perpetual storm, faction warring with faction and demagogue with demagogue. The friends of Simon Cam eron, after a hard struggle, succeeded in hav ing a resolution adopted by the Convention, recommending him as its choice for President. During the discussion of this resolution, a per fect thunder-shower of denunciation fell upon poor Simon. At length, however, a compro mise was effected, by which Cameron will get about one-half, or at most, two-thirds of the Pennsylvania delegation to Chicago. The Con . vention was organized by the Cameronians, who, as the most truckling tool they could find, elec ted Francis Jordan, temporary, chairman, the said Francis, we presume, having earned his title to that position by his essays on "Buzzard Feasts" in 1855. Cuitin, the nominee for , Governor, was Pollock's secretary ol state, a regular jing-law man, and can be beaten 20,000 I votes. The Bill for the sale of the poor House- The general provisions of this Bill, as pub lished by us, last week, we conceive to be cor rect and salutary. We would, however, sug gest that the clause permitting the Commission ers to expend S2OOO over and above the sum for which the present Poor House property may sell, in the purchase of another propeity and the erection of buildings upon it, is unnecessa ry, if not ext rat-agent. We think thai, with proper management, the Poor House Mill and Farm can be disposed of for such a sum as will purchase another properly and pay for the buil dings necessarily erected upon it. It is entire ly and utterly wrong to increase the county debt, or to create any cause lor its increase, at least at present. Let us first get rid of the debt that is resting upon us already, and then we may talk of additional expenditures on public improvements. But if the proceeds of the sale of the Poor House AMI and Farm, be made the maximum cost of the property to be purchased and the buildings to be erected, we shall wish the Bill and all who support it, a hearty God speed. THE SPRING ELECTIONS. Too little importance is generally attached to the Spring elections. It is as necessary to have competent township and borough officers, as it is to have county and state offices filled with good men. True, the duties of the former are not so arduous, important and difficult as those pertaining to the latter, but still an igno rant, selfish, negligent, or dissipated borough, or township official, may be the cause of much trouble and injury to the community in which he holds office. We think it, therefore, our duty to call upon our friends to turn out to the spring elections and see that the right kind of men are elected to oflicp. As Democrats, we should feel it our bounden duty to go to the e lections—to ail elections, whether great, or small, important, or unimportant—and see that tbe right is sustained. Let us, therefore, enjoin upon you, friends, not to forget the third Friday of March, for on that day you can, it you will, do an important service to yourselves, your par ty and your country. [EP*'TLe Curtin lias risen," said an enthusi astc Black Republican, when he heard of the nomination made by his party for Governor "yes" replied a wag standing by, "but it will Jull in October."- Good licks ! Local and Miscellaneous. —BURGLARY. A BOLD ACT.— On Friday, night last, the fancy store of MRS. S. E. POTT 3, of this place, was burglariously entered and some twenty six dollars, in old Spanish quarters and twelve-and-a-half cent pieces taken there from. The effected at the front door, the modus operandi of the thief consisting in the boring of holes, with a large auger, in that part of the door at which the lock, or bolt, was fastened, the holes being so bored as to form an aperture large enough to admit a aian's hand. Two holes were also bored some dis tance above the lock. The inmates of the house were wakened from sleep, by the opera tions of the thief, and, we believe, discovered the gentleman in the act of emptying the money-drawer. The alarm was given, but before the neighbors could be roused, the bitd had down. As yet there is no clue to the perpetrator of this daring robbery. —Pursuant to previous notice, a large num ber of the good people of Bedford assembled in the Hall of the Union School House, on Friday evening last, for the purpose of l'slening to an address on Educational matters, by Hon. H. C. Hickok, State Supeiintendent of Common | Schools. Mr. Hickok's discourse was well I received, as it deserved to be, for it was really I a splendid effort. As loDg as we have a man | like Henry C. Hickok at the head of the com | mon Schools of our State, we need not fear for I the cause of popular education. Energetic, | practical, eloquent and effective in the advcoa- Icy of nis favorite system, he is admirably fitted for the position he occupies. The meeting very properly passed a vote of thanks to the speaker, for bis interesting and instinctive ad dresc. Prof. Dickerson, the able Principal of the Union School, preceded Mr. Hickok, in a speech replete with logic, facts and sound com mon sense. We were well pleased with his remarks, ns were all whom we heard ex press themselves on the subject. Francis Jordan telegraphs that there was much "discussion" in the late "Republican" Convention, but that all ended harmoniously. A part of the discussion to which Francis refers, relates to his right to take the chair, when a mid "confusion he stepped upon the platform to assume it. During this discussion a delegate very impertinently told Mr. Jordan that his taking the Chair was a "dirty usurpation." As to all ending harmo niously, see our Harrisburg letter in an anoth er column. —The editor having gone to the State Con vention, all peculiarities of stylp, orthography, "making up," etc., etc., must be attributed to his deputy, a young gentleman veiy frequent ly, though unjustly, denominated "tbedevil." j —ln our account of the case of Samuel Barn- j hart vs. The President and managers of the Chambersburg and Bedford Turnpike Road j Company, given in our last, we omitted to state that the original verdict of the Jury was' $871.00 which under direction of the Court! was charged to $799.00, which was abated by by the Conn io $730.00, the suin for which judgement was entered. LETTER FROM HARRISBURG. Mr. Editor: The "Republican" Convention has been the stormiest that I havo ever seen. After a bard fight, Jordan was elected Temperary Chair man. Gov. Pollock was afterwards made Per- i manent Chairman. The leading actors in the Convention, were old Democrats, such as Judge Frailey, Purviar.ce, Morrow B. Lowty,&c., &c. I never heard ano public man so bitterly de nounced as was Cameron bv Marshall of Alle gheny. Curtin was nominated on the second ballot—having 67 votes out of 133. The Resolution instructing for Cameron was carried after a hard fight, by a two third vote. The resolution that delegates from the several Congressional districts name the delegates to the Chicago Convention, was amended as follows viz : "■Provided, That this resolution shall not prevent the delegates from the several congress ional districts, who have been already electeu, from tak ; ng their seats in the Chicago Conven tion : and provided further, that in such con gressional districts in which the delegates may decline making the selection of delegates to the Chicago Convention, the question shall be re ferred back to the people. Although the resolution instructing for Cam eron passed, an amendment was insetted which declares substantially that the instructions should apply only to the delegates elected by the Convention—thus leaving one third, ana perhaps one half, of the delegation to Chicago in the hands of the enemies of Cameron * * The feeling here is very bitter, and I may safely say that one third of the whole crowd art dissatisfied and talk of open rebellion. Yours, HARRISBURC Feb. 23d. * FOR THE GAZETTE. BROAD TOP COAL TRADE. Shipmments of coal over the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad for the week endinc Feb. 22d, 1860. Week—Tons.

Mr. Powel is the Napoleon of the Broad Top coal operators. A line of telegraph will be completed- this week from Huntingdon to SaxtoD, and will probably be extended to Hopewell. BROAD TOTTER. The Opposition Convention. The Opposition State Convention terminated its labors by designating Simon Cameron as the choice of the People's party of Pennsylvania tor President of the United States, and by nominating Andrew G. Curtin as its candidate for Governor. The Convention was charac terized by great disorder throughout, and at times presented more the appearance of a mass meeting or a mob than a grave and dignified representative body. This arose, in a great measure, from the incongruous nature of the material [collected together. {Every shade, stripe and hue of Opposition to the Democratic party were met together, with no other bond of sympathy than a common hatred of the principles of the great national party, and a common desire for the spoils of victory. There were mpn who had been Whigs, men who had been Know-Nothings, men who had voted for Fillmore, men who voted tor Fremont, and men who had been Democrats. There were also men who had in turn espoused atid aban doned nearly every party, and were first Whigs or Democrats, then Know-Nothings, then Re publicans, then Opposition, and finally People's party. There were men who have abused Cameron without stint and lauded him without reason—men who in 1855 signed the celebra ted "Buzzards' Feast" protest, denouncing him as the worst and most corrupt of mortals, un fitted for the United States Senate, met in 3860 to present him with acclamations a3 the most worthy statesman, qualified to adorn the Presidencj'. ft was, in truth, an assemblage of men who had, in the course ot a few years, affirmed and denied almost every political principle—a thing of shreds and patches—an incongruous jumble of political inconsistencies. This was the character of the Convention which met in this place in the pretended name ot the people, to designate candidates for Presi dent and Governor and to purify the politics of the State. Ex-Gov. Pollock was very happily selected to provide over this assemblage, he being the living representative of the dangerous and ephemeral nature of what the Opposition dig nify with the name of principle. Once elec ted Governor by an overwhelming majority of the people misled by momentary excitement, his administration proved a signal failure, and he retired from office marked with popular disapproval, after the most unsuccessful and odious administration which the State ever witnessed. On the present occesion he appear ed again on the surface to inaugurate another movement more disgraceful and dangerous than the one with which his name is unhappily associated. The person designated as (he choice of this Convention lor President was assailed on the floor of the Convention with the utmost power of intense hatred. If half that was said against him by party friends is true, then his party i enemies have but to repeat their statements to show that the Convention presented, as its candidate, one who ought not to be President of the Unite States. This war upon the candi date of the majority was so fierce and determin ed, that they were compelled to abandon the original programme ot selecting "all the dele gates to Chicago, and to accede to demands which must result in a divided delegation.— The result will be to admit some of Gen. i Cameron's most decided enemies from this State into the Chicago Convention, and thus far to damage his prospects. The plan of a united delegation was not full carried. Andrew G. Curtin, the candidate for Gover nor, was Secretary of State under the Pollock administration. VY'e have ample time to ex amine his claims hereafter. At prpseQ wf can oly say thai if the charges brought against him by members of his own party, of acts performed while in connection with that ad ministration, can be substantiated, he is destin ed to suffer a defat more overwhelming than that once administered by the people to his grandfather, Andrew Gregg. From Pike's Peak. NEW DISCOVERIES. LEAVENWORTH, K. T., Feb. 25.—The Pike's Peak express arrived this morning, with §2,500 in gold and the mails. The news is meagre. Good "prospects had been obtained in the mountains, between Denver City and Gregory's mines. Two cords ot quartz, mingl-d with py rate ot iron, had yielded, after crushing, $1,700 in gold. A train of breaJstuffs and produce had arri ved from New Mexico. A new and extremely rich gulch had been discovered ten miles from Gregory's old dig gings. Sews from New Mexico. INDEPENDENCE, MO., Feb. 25.—The Santa Fe mail dates to the 23d and 29th ult., arrived here to-day. This mail was accompanied by an escort of troops from Fort Union. No In dians wew seen on the route. The snow wis very deep from Fort Union to Rabbit Ear, and thence on the roads were verv muddy. The traders on the Plains, for want of trade with the Indians, were killing large numbers of wolves and buffaloes. LOSS OF A WESTERN STEAMER. CINCINNATI, Feb. 2+.— The steamer E. A. Ogden wassu.ik in the Missouri river, abo'e Jefferson City, on Wednesday. She is a total loss, and the cargo, which was very valuable, is considerably damaged. The boat was valued at $16,000, and insured in Pittsburg offices for SIO,OOO. METHODISTS. —The minutesofthe Mothodists which are annually reported with great prec sion, show that all the divisions of that church in America have 11,45S traveling preachers and 1,880,169 communicants; ia Europe, 3,235 traveling preachers aud 772,622 communicants in all 14,933 traveling preachers and 2,548, 190 lay members. Its missionary organizations include over 3,000 laborers ; its educational in stitutions comprise 138 colleges and academies it has 36,000 local preachers, making with its itinerants, a ministerial force of nearly 50,000 men. A Spanish bam American citizen has been claimed by the Spanish authorities at Cuba, for military services, and required to furnish a sib stitute or nay one thousand dollars for his *e lease. His release was demanded by the Uni ted States, but refused, and the Consul paid one thousand dollars for the release, under pro test. DEATH of A CENTENNARIAN.—Mr. Thonas Wilmarth, aged 102 years, died *at his farn at Lockland station, near Cincinnati, on theJ2d inst. Mr. Wilmarth emigrated to Cincineti, in the year 1805 Irom the District of Colunpia. I GOLD MINE IN BUCKS COUNTY, PA. —The Doylestown (Pa) Demoaiat, ol the 21st inst., publishes a letter from Wm. E Dubois, assistant Assayer at the Philadelphia Mint, which states that gold is contained in a lead ore or galena, from New Britain township, along the North Branch creek, within three miles of Doylestown This ore, according to the assay, would produce not quite ten cents worth to the ton. Hardly enough to create much of a rush to the "dig gins," we think. COMMON SCHOOLS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. —The number of school districts is 2,392, whole num ber of scholars 86,708, average atteudance 55,- 606, number of male teachers last year 1,404 number of (emale teacheis last year 3,184, total cost for past year $282,841, average pay of males with board $25 30, average pay of fe males with board sl4 15, average cost for each scholar, $2 89. ACCIDENT. —At Pittsburg, on the 22d inst., a piece of ordnance of the Duquesne Greys pre maturely exploded, during the celebration, shat tering the hand and and arm of Mr. H. Bonne fon, ana splitting open the head of J. H. Stew art, members of the company. Another mem ber was slightly vvovnded. THE War Department has advices Irotn L'tah reporting great destruction of stock by the cold weather. Capt. Hooper, the Mormon Delegate to Congress, lost upwards of 1000 head.

' a pensive sadnesss steals o'er the spirit when | we behold the garland of friendship blasted by I the untimely approach of death, as in his iron grasp, he severes the tender links and bears a way its loveliest blossom. The subject of this notice was a lovely, ami able and intelligent child. Being blest "with a pious example and instruction, we need not wonder that she early learned to look upon the pomp and vanietiesol the world as unworthy of her attention. Though autraundcl bv Ihe temp tation and allurements of the world, she heeded them not, preferring that pleasure and happi ness that proceeds from a performance of duty ! towards God. j It was with agonized hearts that her parents traced the rapil progress ot disease in their i dolized child ; she was to them as the light of their eyes. Her presence brought sunshine to their sauls, and they looked forward to many happy years in her society. But God has wil led otherwise, and though their hearts are bow ed and oppressed with grief, yet should they re member " Whom the Lord loveth he ctiasten eth." To her death had no terrors, and though the grave was dark and gloomy, yet ail beyond was bright and joyous. She is gone, yet in imagination we see that fair unsullied cheek, arid the clear and dream ing eye whose brightness and winning glances spoke of a soul of love and beamy. She is laid to rest in the freshness of early feeling, while her young heart throbbed with brightest hopes. She is gone like a morning cloud and the early dew. Her bosom is cold which once with love was warm. She has pas sed away while her thoughts were as pure as the upper sky, and as sweet as an opening blos som. She is laid to rest in the voiceless tomb, and the cold damp dew of the grave is glisten ing on her youthful brow. The clod of the valley has thrown back its last harsh echo as it fell upon the lid of her [cell. She is in deep dreamless sleep. Her spirit too pure and love ly for earth now with folded pinions is salely lodged in the palace ot angels and God, "And a new harp is strung, and a new song is given To the breezes that float o'er the garden of Heaven," On Monday the 21 tl; ult., Hester A lice Stiver, daughter of Samuel and Leah Stiver, of Bedford aged 5 years, 9 months, and 19 days.

He was first attacked while quite young. He would have one or two spasms at one attack at first ; but as he grew older, they seemed to increase likewise. Up to the time he commenced taking your Pills, he had them very often and quite severe prostrating him body and mind. His mind had suf fered seriously ; but now, lam happy to say, he is cured of those fits. He has enjoyed fine health for the last five months past. His mind has also re turned to its original sprightliness. All this I take a great pleasure in communicating, as it may be the means of directing others to the remedy that will cure them. Yours respectfully, j-c., W. P. LIGON. No person who is suffering trom Fits, or Spasms, should neglect sending to Dr. Hance, after this, for a supply of his inestimable medicine.
