PAY THE PRINTER !
We have just sent a number of bills
to persons indebted to us for job work
and advertising. This kind of work
is always intended to be vault, but we
have waited for months on some of it
and for years on others. IIV taunt have
these bill* paid. Had we no debts of
our own, we might give a hundred
vears' grace to those who owe us. But
we must pay our debts, and, hence, we
are compelled to collect from those
who arc indebted to us. The books of
B. F. Meyers are also unsettled and
must lie closed up. We ar<- driven to
sending hills to all, irrespective of per
sons. and we hope that we will not he
compelled to resort to any thing more
stringent. But we must have our lx>oks
squired up, and a word to the wise is
sufficient. *•

BLACK'S PATENT SLED.— We spoke,
last week, of a - JCHI invented by I). A.T.
Black, Esq., which runs on wheels, or
runners, at the pleasure of the driver,
but did not fully note its advantages
over the ordinary sled. It can be run,
like a wagon, over bridges, bare ground
and streams of water; and Mr. Black's
improvement will prevent pushing the
horses going down steep hills, and slid
ing to one side on icy places, it saves
a great deal of horse labor and prevents
the soles of the sled from wearing out.
The improvement is equally applicable
to sleighs. For further particulars, ad
dress I). A. T. Black, Ray's Hill, Bed
ford co., Pa.
WARNING. —We would again warn
careless people of the danger attending
;t careless handling of Kerosene lamps.
Our exchanges art; filled with accounts
"f accidents from this cause by which
R'nmcu,children and servants lose their
lives. A lamp upset, and the whole
mass of oil instantly ignites, running
over everything, and setting lire to the
elothing of women and children who
may lie near. People cannot be too
careful in handling coal oil. Lamps
Occasionally explode, when the oil is
permitted to burn low, and such acci
dent.- frequently terminate in death.
MARRIAGE AND DEATH.— Why is it
that thi' marriage announcements tire
immediately followed by the obituary
in ..ur papers? Does death fol
low OOCiosdyoa the footstopoof mar
riage'.' I-grief the page that carries
■ " train ot happiness ? Does the tomb
"{'en wide its dark and ponderous jaws
hf-ide the nuptial couch ? 'Tis the
" ,r Hie gleeful songs of light
a 'id merry hearts to-day, to-morrow
A 1 turn to funeral chants, and sorrow
' ' ''"Dentation be beard instead of
-lad. pealing laughter. We read to
day oi our friends' marriage, and wish
joy; to-morrow we set; their
•th- recorded, and say "peace to their
o lir merriest songs art; timed
''in:falls of death, and the "silver
! ml b as fragile as a spider's thread,
"•''l the "golden bowl" is more brittle
tniltl L'hlvs,
S i.mors ACCIDENT.—We regret to
: 'i that James Madura, Esq., mana
■s( r "f Bloomfield Furnace, was thrown
'I his horse, a few days since, and
notisly injured. We have not been
'imtti a- to the particulars of the
accident.
-\>-I>TANT ASSESSORS.—We learn
•""n the Bedford Inquirer that Capt.
" "i I.Helm, ofthisplace, John Shuss,
''f bnake Spring, and John B. Fluke,
"pcwell tp., have been appointed
■ distant Assessors of internal He venue
f °f this County.
DON'T FRIGHTEN YOUR CHILDREN.
, —We know that it is a habit with many
j parents to frighten their children into
J obedience, by threats of imprisonment
j in dark rooms, or by picturing some
j great bugaboo that is ready to carry
them off. Little do those who resort
j to this mode of reasoning (?) with in
nocent little ones, think of the fearful
consequences that may result from such
acts. A few days since a bright little
lad in Kvansville, Indiana, when play
ing on the steps, was threatened to lie
shirt up in a dark room if he did not
go in and stay in the house. The child,
frightened, ran in and fell in parox
ysms on the floor, lie begged hi* mo
ther not to let the man shut him up,
and he would never go on the steps
again. He sickened from this fright
and never recovered. When conscious
he begged bis mother to keep the man
away and he never would go on the
steps again. And when the little fel
low was dying he said, "l'apa, don't
let me die, 1 never will go on the steps
again." We hope this instance may
serve as a warning to parents who read
the GAZETTE, to be careful how they
attempt to frighten their little ones.
SAD ACCIDENT.—We learn from the
McConnellsburg papers, that a melan
choly accident occurred near that place,
a few days ago, which resulted in the
dentil ol Miss Laura Ilassler, daughter
of Maj. John Ilassler, Treasurer of
Franklin county, and the serious inju
ry of Mrs. Baker, who in company with
Miss Ilassler and a young lad were dri
ving in a buggy, from Fort Littleton
to McConnellsburg. On thesummitof
Scrub Ridge, the boy alighted from the
buggy, when the horse became fright
ened and ran away, dashing the vehicle
to pieces against the rocks on the side
of the road, both ladies being violently
thrown upon the ground, Miss Ilassler
receiving injuries which caused her
death a few days afterwards. Mrs. Ba
ker was greatly bruised, but was not
fatally injured.
BUILD HOUSES.—Our town needs
now, more than anything else, an in
crease of dwelling houses for the peo
ple. Many are crowded, two or three
families into a house where there should
be but one, ahd rents are only limited
by the demand of the landlord. We
want small houses that our mechanics
and laborers can purchase, and thus put
their earnings and savings into a per
manent form. If the funds invested in
oil speculations had hden invested in
houses, they could all have been sold
at a handsome profit, and the amount
re-invested in like manner with a sim
ilar result. We call upon our business
men to unite and build houses—for
each to build one, two or three, as they
can spare the means from their busi
ness.
A MERITED COMPLIMENT.— We
were shown, to-day, a magnificent anil
costly regalia, of the Order of Odd-
Fellows, which was, last week, presen
ted by Bedford Lodge No. 202, to Dr.
C. N. Ilickok, the District Deputy
Grand Master of Bedford County. This
is but a Just tribute to the Doctor's
faithful, and long continued efforts in
the cause of Odd-Fellowship. As an
advocate of the peculiar principles of
the society, the Doctor has few equals,
and his numerous public addresses, in
this regard, has given him a widely
extended reputation. We are glad to
record this instance of the appreciation,
bv his brethren of his services.
SWORN IN. —Robert Steckman, Esq.,
the newly elected Sheriff, has been
sworn in and is now engaged in dis
charging the duties of his office. Bob
will make an efficient officer. The re
tiring Sheriff, ('apt. Airistadt, goes out
of office, with the respect of all who had
official transactions with him, and we
can say for him, that he was a thorough
going and trusty officer. Michael
Diehl has been installed as Poor Direc
tor. An honest man is "old Mike,"
and t he public can rest assured that he
will be true to their interests.
COUNTY PAPERS.— Postmasters should
bear in mind, for their advantage as
well as that of the local press, that for
every county paper delivered by them
to subscribers they are entitled to retain
of the post office funds ten and one-half
cents per year. It is for their interest,
as well as for that of the publisher, that
the county papers be preferred, since
there is no troubiem making collections
or keeping accounts thereof, as on pa
pers printed out of the county, the
commission on which will not average
more than from sixtoeight eentsa year.
COMPLETION OF THE SAND PATCH
TUNNEL.— We learn that the Sand
Patch Tunnel, 011 the Pittsburg and
Connellsville Railroad, has at last been
cut through. It is located in Larimer
township, Somerset county. It is 4,-
700 feet in length, is 22 feet wideand 19
feet high. The length of the tunnel on
the Peim'a Central, between Cresson
and Altoona, is 3,70U feet, just 1,000
less than the length of the Sand Patch.
COCNTKRFKIT Coix.—A counterfeit
five cent coin of the new nickle issue,
is in circulation, nn<l is calculated to de
ceive the unwary. The counterfeit is
remarkably good so far as the die is
concerned, but the metal has that grea
sy appearance common to compounds
of pewter and other baser metal ie sub
stances. It is very soft and cuts easily
like cheese. — Buff. Sun.
IMPROVEMENTS.—' The Commission
ers have re-fitted and rc-furnishod the
Court House. It is now one of the most
comfortable, as well as one of the neat
est, Court Houses in the state.
I'KKsKRVrNO Mn.K.-All easy way
of preserving milk or cream sweet for
a long time, or of removing the sour
ness when it has already come on, is to
add to it a small quantity of common
soda, pearl ash or magnesia. So it is
said. __j£
WE call attention to the advertise
ment of C. F. Miller & Co., under head
of "new advertisements.
ALL IN VAIN.—The attempts to
palm off upon the American publie the
bogus parodies on the leading Paris
perfumes, while Phalon's "Night
Blooming Cereus," the finest extract
for the handkerchief ever produced ei
ther here or abroad, is within the reach
of every class. Sold everywhere.
Lx I.MPT.—Dress-makers and millin
ers will be very glad to know hat from
the first day of August, 1866, they are
exempt from all taxation, whatsoever.
Thenew law says: "All articles of dress
made or trimmed by milliners or dress
makers for the wear of women and
children, shall also he exempt."
CONVENTION OF SCHOOL SUPERIN
TENDENTS.—A Convention of County
Superintendents of Common Schools
o! the State, will ce held at Ilarrisburg
on the sth of December next. It will
remain in session three days.
DEER KILLED.— A fine large BUCK
was killed in Jack's corner, a few days
ago, by Richard Sullivan, of Hopewell
township.
PLENTY—WiId Turkies. Quite a
number have been brought to this place
within the last two weeks, by our

ttNOW POWDER. —Patented May
29. 1866. This is an article for washing with
out rubbing, except in very dirty places, which
will require a very slight rub, and unlike other
preparations offered for a like purpose, WILL SOT
ROT the clothes, but will leave them much W HITER
than ordinary methods, without the usual wear
and tear
I: removes grease spots as if by magic, and sof
tens the dirt by soaking, so that rinsing will inor
dinary cases entirely remove it.
This powder is prepared in accordance with
j chemical science, and upon a process peculiar to
i itself, which is secured by Letters Patent. It has
i been in use for more thau a year, and has proved
i itself an universal faturite wherever it has been
used. Among the advantages claimed are the fol
lowing, viz :
It saves all the expense of soap usually used on
cotton nnd linen goods.
It saves most of the labor of rubbing, and wear
and tear.
Also, for cleaning windows it is unsurpassed.—
With one quarter the time and labor usually re
quired it imparts a beautiful gloss and lustre,
much superior to any other mode. No water re
i quired except to moisten the powder
Directions with each package.
And can Ue readily appreciated by a single
trial. The cost of washing for a family of five or
six persons will not exceed THREE CENTS.
The manufacturers of this powder are aware
that many useless compounds have been iutrodu
ced to the public which have rotted the cloth, or
failed in removing the dirt, but knowing the in
trinsic excellence of this article, they confidently
proclaim it as being adapted to meet a demand
which has long existed, and which has heretofore
remained unsupplied.

THE
AMERICAN WATCH.
MADE AT WALTIIAM, MASS.,
IS THE BENT
It is made on the best principle. It is composed
of SOLID PLATES. No jar can inlerfere with the
harmony of its working, and no sudden shock can
damage its machinery. Every piece is made and
finished by machinery, (itself famous for its novelty,
as well as for its effectiveness, and is therefore
properly made. The watch is vkat all mechnnisin
should be—ACCURATE, SIMPLE, STRONG ANN ECO
NOMICAL. Except some high grades, too costly for
general use, foreign watches ate chiefly made by
women and hoys. Such watches are composed of
several hundred pieces, screwd and r.iveted to
gether. and require constant repairs to keep them
in aity kind of order. All pepons who have car
ried ' ancres, •Gepines," and English Patent
Levers." are perfectly well a Wire of the truth of
this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise, more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make a
thoroughly good low-priced watch for the million, 1
to take the place of those foreign impositions, the
refuse ot foreign factories, which were entirely un
saleable at home and perfectly worthless every
where.
How well we have accomplished this may be
understood from the fact 'hat after so many years
of public trial we now make MORE THAN HALF OF
ALL THE WATCHES SOLI) IN THE FNITED STATES,
and that no others have ever given such universal
satisfaction. While this department of ou." busi
ness is continued with increased ffcilities for per- [
feet work, we are at present engaged in the man
ufacture at watches of the very IIGHEST GRADE
KNOWN TO I HHONOMETRY, unequal-d by anything
hitherto made by ourselves, aud unsurpassed by
anything made in the world. Fir this purpose
we have the amplest facilities We have erected 1
an addition to our main building expressly for !
this branch of our business, aud hive filled it with
the best workmen in our service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed, which per
form their work with consummati delicacy aud j
exactness. The choicest and molt approved ma ;
terials only are used, and we challenge comparison ;
between this grade of our work and the finest im- :
ported chronometers. We do not pretend to sell
our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign watches
but we do assert, without fear of contradiction,
that for the SAME MOSEY our product is inoompa
bly superior All our watches, of vbatcvergrade,
are fully warranted, and this warrantee is good
at all times against us or our agents in all parts of ;
the world
CAUTION.—The public are cautioned to buy only '
of respectable dealers. All persons selling coun
terfeits will be prosecuted.

C. CHAUNCEY BURR, EDITOR.
The success of THE OLD GUARD has been as
remarkable as it ought to be gratifying to the
friends of a true American literature. It has stead
ily doubled its circulation each year of its publi
cation, and its publishers have found it necessary
to annually enlarge it, to meet the full expecta
tions of its patrons, as well as to realize their own
ideal of a first-class Family and Literary Maga
zine. imiubluea wnti sound p-utioM
To still farther carry out this design, The Old
Guard for 1867 will be printed on new type, and
enlarged sixteen additional pages, making in all
nearly One Thousand Pages of reading matter
yearly for the low price of three dollars! Arrange
ments have also been made to secure the very best
literary talent of the country. We willcominence
in the January number a thrilling Romance, writ
ten expressly for The Old Guard, entitled,
JOSCELYN; A Tale ol the Revolution ;
By Wm. Gilmore Simins, Esq., of S. C.,
the peer of Cooper and Irving, taking the reader
back to the birth of the American principle of
government, and introducing him to the rebels of
1776. John Esten Cooke. Esq.. of Virginia, auth
or of "Surry of Eagle's Nest," Ac,, Ac., will fur
nish a series of graphic sketches, entitled "The
Battles of Virginia," while our present corps of
contributors, with some new ones, will continue to
furnish articles, making the Magazine second to
■none in point of literary attraction and ability.—
Politically. The Did Guard will stand in the future
as in the past, faithfully guarding the Constitution
as it caine from the hands of Washington, without
acquiescing in any of the subversions, under the
title of "amendments." It will be continued up
on the grand idea that "all is not lost," while vir
tue and intelligence remain with any portion of
the people.
