UV have just sent a number of bills
;t rsons indebted to us for job work
i advertising. This kind of work
ways intended to be cash, but we
i Vl . waited for months on some of it
:or years on others. tl'f must hare
biffs pa id. Had we no debts of
r own, we might give U hundred
-v' grace to those who owe us. But
must pay our debts, and, hence, we
. compelled to collect from those
are indebted to us. The hooks of
F. Meyers are also unsettled and
be closed up. We are driven to

ipellet! to resort to any thing more

,i,rd up. and a word to the wise is

the appearance of the tileteoric

that we could see the meteors; for j

• 1 a schoolmaster, waiting and

ern termination of the Borough line
was stationed a certain mustached
"typo", waiting patiently for the "fall,"
and, no doubt, picturing in his mind
the glowing description he would give
in a "local"—lights rm/ dim. At the
other extremity of the same square,a
"benzine" man with a young mus
tache was posted. The old and well
established refreshment saloon of B. &
MeM., was the general resort for those
who had no particular posts, a com
fortable fire, large stock of oysters and
general accommodations. From this
"posish" one could command a fine
view of Pitt St. entire. At 3 o'clock
all was quiet along the line, nothing to
mar the general calm, save an occa
sional, "Have they fell yet?" or. "I
wish they would soon begin," or "I'm
so s-l-e-e-p-v!" &e., coming from the
now dozing star-gazers—but, hark !
that e/ortrj proclaims "They Fall!"
"They Fall!" A general break Is
made by the vigilant watchers through
out the town, being aware that the sig
nal given was that of the force appoint
ed by the Burgess and Council, and
which consisted of severial lawyers,
(one of whom bad the gong in charge),
a proprietor of a Hotel, a dentist and
others. They took up their lino of
march on Julianna St., proceeding
down Pitt, mnkinga general survey of
the town, sounding the gong and ring
ing the bells. Great was the disap
pointment at the above falscalarm, for,
he it known, thestrtrs didn't fall. But
the re were others than those who were
watching, who were disappointed.—
For instance, a young lawyer, boarding
at the "Washington House," left his
couch very hurriedly, appearing on the
balcony, minus his accoutrements , and
upon realizing t!i of net, made his exit
with, "Hum, sold!—wonder where
eonsuble is?—somebody ought go for
'im !" Four o'clock found ail quiet,
the man of the gong beneath a nine
gallon hat, guarding a butcher shop on
Pitt St., and thus ended the falling of
the meteors in Bedford, in 18(36.
"BUB."
THE BROAD TOP HAIL ROAD.—The
Bedford Inquirer, of last week, makes
a rather ugly attack upon the manage
ment of the Broad Top Railroad. We
don't pretend to say that that road is
what it ought to he, but we do think
that there is neither sense, nor use, in
the sort of complaint made by the In
quirer. The "trestles" (which are the
only parts of the road of which the lu
quirer complains; have all been renew
ed within the last two years. True,
the old bent* of trestlir.g are left stand
ing, the new ones being placed in be
tween them, so that these bridges are
really just as much stronger than they
were originally, as the strength of the
old bents amounts to. The heaviest
coal trains pass over this road without
any injury to the "trestles," and cer
tainly passenger trains can be in no
danger of breaking through a bridge
that sustains the weight of the former.
The fact is, that there is a continual re
newing of going on, the de
cayed timbers being replaced by sound
ones, as soon discovered. Nobody
likes the looks of bridges such as these.
Nobody fancies short curves, especially
when cattfe are on the track. But, the
history of the Broad Top road shows
that fewer accidents, have occurred up
on it than upon almost any other road
in the State, within the same length of
time. The truth is, that careless run-
ning has more to do with railroad acci
dents than trestles or curves. If the
Inquirer will change its base and attack
from a different stand-point, perhaps
there would be a little more truthful
ness in its facts, as well as fairness in
its argument.
—#
PRESRYTERIAX CHURCH.—As an
nounced last week, Revs. Mitchell,
West and Fitzgerald, preached in the :
Presbyterian Church during the latter
part of the week, and on Sunday morn
ing installed the Rev. A. V. V. Schenek
as Pastor. On Sunday afternoon, a
Communion Service was held and an
appropriate sermon was preached in the
evening. The whole series of services j
was one of unusual interest, and the
sermons were powerful and instructive
exhibitions of truth. They will be
long remembered by those who had the!
pleasure of hearing them. The Sabbath
services were attended by large audi
ences, and the church has marked it as
"a good day." As the result of the i
pastoral relations now established a fu
ture of unusual prosperity and useful
ness is anticipated by the church.
STEAM MILL. —The Messrs. Hartley,
as our readers are aware, have erected i
a very large steam flouring mill in this
place. It is complete in all its parts,
and shows more progress in our ancient ,
borough than any enterprise coramenc-,
ed here for some time. The sound of
the steam whistle reminds one so much
of the noise of a railroad locomotive, j
that we almost fancy we hear tne rat
tle and thunder of the train speeding'
its wav toward Bedford. The Mill Is
now in operation and is a grand success. 1
NEW COUNTERFEIT.—A new and
dangerous counterfeit of the lilty dol
lar legal tender notes, has appeared. It !
may be detected by the vignette of
General Hamilton, which, on inspec
tion, was found to have been split from
a two dollar Treasury note and neatly
pasted on the counterfeit fifty. The j
engraving of the other portions of the j
note is cleverly imitated, and can only
be distinguished from the genuine by j
the closest inspection.
THANKSGIVING.— In accordance with i
the proclamation of the Presidentof the j
United States, Union Services will be i
held in tlje Presbyterian Church, on the ,
20th inst., at II o'clock, A. M. Sermon ,
by Rev. !L Heckerman. Subject:— j
The Christian's Duty in Civil or Na-i
tional Life.
THANKSGIVING proclamations are
now irreverently, but more euphon
iously, designated as "turkey talk."
I.iME.—We notice as an item of lo
cal interest, that some of our neighbors
are beginning to turn their attention to
this great fertiliser. Farms will wear
out. The little manure made in the
barn-yards will not supply what the
cultivation of fields will exhaust. The
land must get thin, and farming, as a
consequence, will not pay. The far
mers of Lancaster, Franklin and other
counties, where iime can be had, un
derstand this, and it is no uncommon
thing for them to haul lime a distance
of ill teen nines and pay a good price
for it at the kiln.' It pays at the end
of seven years better than at tirst. As
a matter of dollars and cents, besides
the satisfaction of reaping when you
sow, we would urge every farmer on
lime-stone, slate or gravel land—even
on the sides of the sandy mountains,
to lime his land. Apropos of this, we
understand that our townsman, (). E.
Shannon, has a regular draw-kiln now
in operation, and that the demand for
lime is on the increase.
REDUCTION IX PRlCES.—During the
past week the price of flour has fallen
about $1 o( per barrel, and other pro
visions will probably fall in proportion.
Unless something unusual should oc
cur, there will most likely be a sti'l fur
ther decline in the price of flour and
grain. The provision speculators in
our large cities appear to have slightly
overreached themselves. Large car
goes of wheat, bacon, flour, &c., which
had been sent to Europe, are reported
to have been sent back to this country
for a better market, and the specula
tors, who had hoarded up a large stock
in the hope of making fortunes this
winter, suddenly found the market o
verstoeked.
LONG EVEN I XGS. —Let every onedur
ing the long evenings of winter, labor
to improve himself; and parents should
not neglect their children. One of the
best things a parent can put into the
hands of a child that can read, is a good
newspaper. There are hundreds of
Democrats yet in this county who do
not take a home paper. They always
regret our defeats at the elections, but
are slow to contribute in the right di
rection for the promotion of Democracy.
There is not a democratic family in the
county but which ought to take a home
paper. Its influence may not at once
be seen, but it will sooner or later be
felt. Will our democratic friends prop
erly look at this matter? It is by the
slow process of gradual education that
permanent public opinion is formed.
PROPER VEX riLATiox. —The perni
cious practice of retiring to bed in
chambers containing stoves, with the
windows closed tightly, and all other
channels of ventilation shut up, should
be discarded at once. If the door of a
bedchamber is not provided with a
transom, the upper sash of the window
should in all cases be lowered several
inches, in order to admit a proper quan
tity of pure breathing air. Deaths are
very frequently caused by improper
ventilation. We read, no longer ago
than yesterday, of the death of a young
lady, caused by breathing the poisonous
gases from a coal oil lamp, which she
allowed to remain burning in her room
over night.
A USEFUL IXVENTION.—Our ingen
ious friend, D. A. T. Black, Esq., has
invented, and obtained a patent for,
an im pro veil sled, which is provided
with wheels on the inside of the "run
ners," which are let down, the sled be
ing at the same time elevated, by ma
chinery managed by the driver. These
wheels are intended to run the the sled
over the bare ground, and we think
will answer the purpose admirably.
The whole arrangement is very simple
and easily worked. A good thing can
be made out ofthepurchaseof rights.
VISITORS. —Among the distinguish
ed strangers present at our late session
of Court, we noticed Hon. F. M. Kiai
med and Hon. J. McDowell Sharpe,
of Chainbcrsburg,Geo. A. Smith, Esq.,
of McConnellsburg, and C0!..1. I>. Bod
ily, of Somerset, all in good health,
and capital Democrats in the bargain.
MIST RKDKKM. —A misapprehension
has been entertained by some of the na
tional banks that they are not obliged
to redeem mutilated notes except at
discount. Holders of such notes should
in no ease allow this discount. The
lisinks are bound to redeem the notes at
par, both at their own counters and at
their redeemingagencies.
THURSDAY, the 20th inst., is the day
set apart by the President for Thanks
giving and Prayer. The turkey tribe
are in high state of consternation in
consequence, and threaten to take part
with the Radicals in impeaching the
President unless he withdraws bis of
fensive Proclamation.

Religiols.—Rerv. A. li. Miller will
deliver, in the M. E. Church, in this
place, on next Sabbath, at 101 o'clock,

Rise and Progress of Methodism in
America.
Renov ation ofthe Court I locs e.
—The Commissioners have refitted and
repainted the Court House, and it is
now both comely and comfortable. The
Commissioners deserve the thanks of
the public for their attention to the
comfort of those attending Court.
Sworn In.—David Howsare, Esq.,
has been sworn in as Commissioner,
He will make an efficient officer. Geo.

the board. Good luck attend him.

THE newspapers in various parts of

so that no one need hesitate to buy a watch now
front the expectation that it will be cheaper at some
future time. The test of ten years, and the manu
facture and sale of
MORE THAN 200,000 WATCHES,
have given our productions the very highest rank
among tint keepers Commencing with the deter
mination to make only thoroughly excellent watch
es, our business has steadily increased as the pub
lic became acquainted with their value, until for
months together, we have been unable to supply
the demand. We have repeatedly enlarged our
factory buildings until they now cover over three
acres of ground, and give accommodation to more
than eight hundred workmen. We arc fully jus
tified in saving that we now make more than
ONE-HALF OF ALL THE M ATCHES
sold in tbe United States. The different grades
are distinguished by the following trade-ii.arkson

Factory are Fl LLY W AKRANTED to be the best
time-keepers of their class ever made in this or any
other country. Buyers should remember that un
like the guarantee of a foreign maker who can
never be reached, this guarantee is good at all
times against the Company or their agents, and
that if after the most thorough trial, any watch
should prove defective in any particular, it may
be always exchanged for another. As the Ameri
can Watches made at M'altham, are for sale by
dealers generally throughout the country, we do
not solicit orders fur singlo Watches.
CAPTION.—The public are cautioned to buy only
of respectable dealers. All persons scliiug'coun
terfeits will be prosecuted.
