BOWEN ESQ., is a regular ly authorized agent for this paper, and will visit our friends throughout tile county, for the purpose of making col lections and taking subscritions. We hope that his calls will be responded to in the proper spirit. We have some $6,000 on our books, SI,OOO of which we need very badly to pay a diibt we owe in bank. In fact we must collect, afld if mikl measures will not answer our purpose, we will be compelled to resort to harsher ones. There are many per sons who pay promptly. To such, thanks! There are more who do not. To such, duns, and finally writs. We desire to oppress no man. We are wil ling to be liberal to those who are in straitened circumstances. But if me do not heed our request to settle, if they treat our call for payment with con tempt, they have no further claim upon our generosity. We have given away enough in our business to keep a small family five years. If we are to contin ue that sort of work, we want those who can pay to come forward and do it, and those who can't, to step up and settle. Of course, we don't refer to those who do pay. If this be not at tended to soon , we will see whether "some things can't be done as well as others." M. E. CHURCH.— On Sunday last the regular missionary anniversary of theM. E. Church was held in Bedford. The pastor, Rev. A. R. Miller, was as sisted by Rev. W. Downs, of Lewis town, Pa. Mr. Downs preached in the morning and evening, and also lectu red before the Sabbath School. The contributions to the missionary cause were very liberal, amounting to the sum of one hundred and eighty seven dollars. The following persons were made members of the Parent Society: Mrs. Rev. A. R. Miller, Mrs. George Blymyer, Mrs. P. 11. Shires, Miss A. M. Mooreliead, and Mrs. Annie D. Shuck. At the Sunday School meet ing M. A. Points was electeda member of the Parent Society, and M. P. Spi dle, Miss Belle C. Blymyer, Miss Jane Gephart and John R. Jordan Jr., were made members of the Conference Mis sionary Society. THE COLLAPSE OF CRINOLINE.— We have repeatedly announced that a col lapse in crinoline was about to take place. We are now able to state that it has actually taken place. The ladies have reduced their proportions and the amplitude of their skirts. The New York Time#, noticing the change, says: "No one who promenades Broadway now-a-days will doubt that the long fore-told, long-delayed 'collapse of crin oline' has at last come to pass. It is visible to the most careless observer, and has proof in our most fashionable ladies as they 'march along.' The im mense circumference of skirt and sweep of train that came in vogue a dozen years ago, and have been expanding and lengtheningever since until recent ly, are now things of the past. In their stead masculine eyes are now gratified by neat, trim dresses, at once moderate in size, gracefully brief, and pre-eminently piquant." To DEALERS. —A wise enactment was passed by the last Legislature, which may not be generally known. It provides that any person "who shall receive or buy from minors or unknown or irresponsible parties, any scrap,brass, lead or metal, shall be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding five hundred dol lars, and undergo an imprisonment of not more than one year, or both, or either." This makes it criminal to buy or receive from such parties, irrespec tive of whether it was stolen or not, and removes from children the tempta tion to pilfer. FRAUDS. —There is a constant succes sion of reports of frauds and swindles, of every possible description, from all parts of the country. Smuggling; de falcations, revenue frauds, illicit distil lation of spirits, and violations and evasions of the laws in every conceiv able way, are now the burden of most of the news columns of a daily journal. Either we are now in a condition of ex traordinary wickedness, or else the con cealed villanies of a long period have all been suddenly uncovered to the light of day. WEDDINGS. —Our young friends— and old ones too —who areauxiousto learn how many weddings a married couple may lawfully have, will be pleased to know that one year after marriage comes the paper wedding; five years after marriage the wooden wedding; ten years, the tin wedding; twenty-tive years, the silver wedding; fifty years, the golden wedding; and seventy-five years, the diamond wed ding. GOLD tends to lower points in com mercial circles un ier the general im pression that the Ways and Means Cora mittee have decided to reeommend safes by the Treasury. POOR HOUSE APPOINTMENTS. —Sam- uel Defibaugh has been re-appointed Steward of the Poor House, Joseph Wills, Miller, Thos. K. Gettys, Clerk, and E. F. Kerr. Esq., Attorney. Dr. F. C. Reamer has been appointed Sur geon and Wm. Bowles, Treasurer. These are all excellent appointments. 31 r. Defibaugh has made a very care ful and upright steward, and Mr. Wills is popular as Miller. The retiring Treasurer, Mr. Blymyer, gave entire satisfaction during the many years in which he had charge of the funds. In fact, the Poor House,was never better ofjftcered than it has been during the past two years. THE JURY COMMISSIONERS, Messrs. Isaac Kensinger and Wm. Kirk, met on Monday last, to fill the wheel for the ensuing year. They appointed John G. Fisher and M. A. Points, Esqs., their clerks. Under this system jurymen are selected with particular reference to their politics, each com missioner confining himself, in his se lections, almost exclusively to his own party. The Jury Commissioner law was passed under the pretence of keep ing politics out of the jury box. It has had just the opposite effect, for it places upon the jury men who are known to be political partisans. But as long as our "Republican" neighbors in Somerset are willing to stand it, we shall not complain. SENSIBLE.— Horace Greeley gets otf a good thing now and then. In a lec ture recently delivered on "adverti sing," he said : "Some men who know enough to advertise are yet so narrow minded its to confine their own adver ments to journals of their own creed and party. If they do not choose to trade with any hat men of (the faith, this is wise; but if they desire the whole public for customers, it is otherwise. H. &B. T. R.
