Such is the proposition in substance. If accepted by the B. &O. and P. A C. companies, Bedford county will have a railroad connecting eastward, westward and southward. To FARMERS AND OTHERS.— As the time is at hand for public sales, it would be well for persons wishing to dispose of any of their property, to bear in mind that we are prepared to print all kinds of bills at the shortest notice, and :as low as any other office in the coun try. Persons at a distance wishing bills printed and not desirous of coming to town, can have their wants attended to as promptly as if they were here, mere ly enumerating the articles they wish to dispose of, the day of sale, terms, Ac., and we will send them their bills nice ly printed by mail, enclosing our bill. Not one person out of ten ever reads a miserable written advertisement; while everybody will pause and read a printed one. This should be borne in mind. Horse bills printed at the lowest rates. We have every variety of the latest new job and fancy types, and are prepared to print posters, circulars, cards and to .do every variety of job printing at the lowest cash rates. SPRING WHEAT FROM RUSSIA FOP. DISTRIBUTION.— The Commissioner of Agriculture is in receipt of a large quan tity oftheeelebrated Amantaka (spring) whoat from Odessa, Russia, imported by the department for distribution fi mang the agriculturists of such sections ■of the country as successfully cultivate aspring wheat. The weight of this grain is about sixty-five pounds, and its su-{ periority, it is stated, has been tested j during the past season on Hie ex peri-' mental farm of the department. It j will lie distributed with the assurance that its general introduction will prove of great benefit to the wheat growing interests of the United States. FIVK CENT COINS.— The Secretary of the Treasury hasdirected aslightchange to be made in the reverse die of the nickel and copper five cent coin author ized by act of May 16, 1866. The thir teen stars in circular form upon the re verse of this coin are now set in cays, ftlie rays are engraved so bunglingly t they look more like bars than rays. These rays between the thirteen stars are hereafter to be omitted, rendering the execution of the coin less difficult.

We hope that his calls will be responded to in the proper spirit. We havesome 16.000 011 our books, SI,OOO of which we i need very badly to pay a debt we owe in bank. In fact we must collect, and if mild 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 I desire to oppress no maji. We arc wil j ling to be liberal to those who are in straitened circumstances. But if me do not heed our request to settle, ifthey treat our cail 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 i family five years. 1f we are to contin ue that <-ort of work, we want those who can pay to come forward and do it, and those who can't, to step up and settle. <>f course, we don't refer to those who do pay. If this be not at tended to soon, we will set; whether "some things can't tie done as well as others." DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN:— Mr. William Stahl died at his residence, in this place, on the 28th ult., in the 7Dth year of his age. The following notice of this venerable citizen was written by the pastor of the church to which he belonged: "The deceased was one of the oldest citizens of Bedford, hav ing resided here for nearly IS years. He was horn in Germany, on the banks of the Rhine, and came to this coun try at the age of about 30 years. He was extensively known in this county and universally bore an irreproachable character as to honesty and integrity. He was also a consistent and unassu ming Christian—a member of the Ger man Reformed Church from the 14th year of his age, and a ruling Elder for many years, in the congregation to which he belonged. His venerable ap-1 pearuncc and his noble, Christian char acter, will not soon be forgotten by the citizens of Bedford. In his decease the church has lost one of her most worthy members, the pastor one of his warm est friends and the community one of its best citizens."

They (the parents) have been offered $3,000 for them, but have refused to take it, as they intend to take them out for a show in the spring. The mother was a violent Abolitionist and called every body that didn't agree with her in politics, "Copperhead," "Snake," Ac., and to this is attributed this strange phenomenon.
