Local and Personal.
JOHN W. BOWEN Esq., is a regular
ly authorized agent for this paper, and
will visit our friends throughout the
county, for the purpose of making col
lections and taking subsections. We
hope that his calls will be responded
to in the proper spirit. We have some
st>,ooo on our books, SI,OOO of which we
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 j
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. \\ e have given away
enough in our business to keep a small
family five yerfrs. 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 upland
settle. Of course, we don't refer to
those who do pay. If this be not at
tended to .wow, we will see whether
"some things can't be done as well as
others." •

A BEDFORD COUNTY AFFAIR OF i
THE HEART. —We find the following '
in the Pittsburg Pout, of a iate date, and 1
will add that we have heard nothing of
this occurrence, in this neighborhood,
though the statement may be correct:
On Saturday last there arrived in this :
city, from theeouniy of Bedford, a man !
named Nicholas Jones, in company
with another man's wife. The wo- j
man's name is Catharine Weaver, wife
of James Weaver, of the above named |
county. The pair found lodgings some- !
where in the city, and were living j
quietly and happily together, when j
yesterday their quiet was broken in
upon by the arrival of the husband, who
proceeded to tlie ollice of Alderman
Morrow, and made an information a- j
gainst Jones lbr adultery, alleging that;
he had a wife of his own, whom he had I
deserted. He also stated thai Mrs. W.
had left not on'v a broken-hearted bus-;
band but two helpless little children.
A warrant was issued, and Jones was
found working on the Pennsylvania j
Railroad, a short distance beyond the
depot. He was committed to jail for
a hearing. No search was made for
Mrs. Weaver, and of course she did not
, put in an appearance,at which the hus- 1
band seemed greatly disappointed, as j
he says his object in visiting the city
% was not to punish Jones, but to reclaim
his faithless wife.
INSURANCE. —We are requested to •
announce that Maj. J. F. Frueauff, of
Holidaysburg, Blair county, is Gener
al Agent for the State of Pennsylvania •

RANCH COMIANY OF N. V., to whom ;

formation anfl to obtain Local

ter due notice and proof of death. Thir
ty days' grace allowed in the payment

SPECIAL COURT.-— Judge Taylor, of
Huntingdon, is at present holding a j
special court in this place. The Judge j
gives very good satisfaction to our bar. j
TEMPERANCE LECTURE.— We had
not intended to make any notice what
ever of the performances of a man by
the name of Uniac, in the Court House,
on Saturday night last and in the M.
E. Church, on the following Sabbath
evening. But a member of the order
of Good Templars, one of the best cit
izens of our town, has handed us the
following and we have concluded to
publish it. We desire it to be distinct
ly understood that we are just as anx
ious as any man can be to see drunk
ards reclaimed and intemperance check
ed. but harangues like those ol Mr.
Uniac are calculated rather to retard
than advance the good work. \\ e ad
mit that Uniac is a good declaitner and
quotes Byron oxceWentiy, but his mat
ter is the merest jum le of crudities
possible to be uttered. The article by
our Good Templar friend isu> follows: —
If the Good Templars have no other
than a Boston clown to uphold their
cause, it would l>e much better to have
him go around with a menagerie or
circus in the summer, and remain at
home during winter to practice tumb
ling and rope-dancing. And if pul
pits cannot afford any better preachers,
it would he well enough for some rough
carpenters to erect stages inside ol the
churches so that we might have some
of Paul l>e Kock's moral scenes dram
atized and acted. It is much to be re
gretted that the cause of temperance
should be damaged by such lecturers as
Mr. Uniac. 1 advise those whose taste
selects men of this kind as the champi
ons of temperance, to mix the perform
ance, next time, with a little common
sense, and ask them in the name of ev
erything not hypocritical, to keep all
such monkeys otit of the pulpit.
A GOOD TEMPLAR.
LOCALIZING.— AImost everybody has
an idea of his own how a local newspa
per should be conducted, but however
much they differ on other items, they
almost invariably coincide in the one
opinion that a newspaper should be
mostly made up of local items. They
do not seem to think that a local editor
is not omnipresent; nor that the pro
prietor cannot afford to keep a "local"
on every street corner; nor that either
of them cannot he poking his nose in
to other people's business all the time;
a-king questions for which he feels he
should be rebuked. To effect the grand
result desired by everybody in a local
paper, each member of the communi
ty should be under obligation to con
tribute his mite of news, with the un
derstanding that every other member
do the same. Thus an editor would be
merely a scribe and the printer the
multiplier of the records made.
LECTURE BY REV. S. KEPLER.— The
lecture on "The Power and Grandeur
of Moral Principle as exemplified in the
Statesmanship of Moses," delivered by
Rev. S. Kepler, in the Court House, on
Tuesday night last, was enjoyed by a
large and appreciative audience. Rev.
Kepler is one of the soundest thinkers
of the age and never fails to impress
his hearers with the beauty of his dic
tion as well as the forcibleness of hfs
argument.
DROWNED.— We are pained to learn
that Harry Tipper, of Hopewell, was
drowned on Monday last. Tipper and
same others were engaged in erecting
a rope ferry across the Juniata at Hope
well, when the unfortunateyoung man
fell out of the boat in which he was at
work. He leaves a wife and one child
to lament his loss.
WE have much pleasure in recom
mending the Catalogue of Newspapers
and Periodicals issued by the firm of
Blackwell & Co., of 82 Cedar St., New
York. It will be found a most useful
publication and we advise our readers
to write to them for a copy which may
be obtained gratis.
BRIDGE SWEPT AWAY.— The bridge
at Hopewell, was swept away almost
entirely by the breaking up of the ice
in the Juniata, on Friday last. The
loss to the county will be at least $2,-
500.
NEW GROCERIES.— Irvine and Stat
ler have just received, at the Regula
tor, a large lot of groceries, embracing
the finest Sugars, Coffees, Teas, Syrups,
Ac., which they will sell very low.
Coffee at 811 cents per pound.
Nfew Pner MASTER..— -it, A. Hun
ter, Esq., has been appointed Post
Maater, at Riddlesburg, this county.

PUBLIC SALE OF VALUABLE
REAL ESTATE —By virtue of an order of
the Orphans' Court of Bedford county, the under
signed. administrators of the estate of Martin
Hoover, late of Liberty township, dee'd, will offer
at public sale, upon the premises, on FRIDAY, the
22J day of MARCH, 1867, the following de
scribed real estate, viz :
No. 1. A messuage, being the mansion houss and
trRCt ofland situate iu the township of Liberty, in
the county of Bedford, containing one hundred and
eighty-two acres, more or less, well improved and
well watered, adjoining lands of Surnuel Harvey,
Geo F. Steel ana others, and having thereon erec
ted a SAW MILL with CHOPPING MILL at
tached, the saw-mill containing circular, lath
and upright saws, and eituateupon a good stream
of water; there are also a turning-lathe and cider
mill attached to the saw-mill. There area tenant
house, dry house and other outbuildings upon the
premises. 150 acres are cleared and under fence,
part of the farm being limestone soil. There are
also a carpenter shop, blacksmith shop and a mill
lor grinding clay upon it.
No. 2. One tract of wood land situated in said
township, containing six hundred acres, more or
less, adjoining lands of decedent and others.
No. 3. One tract of land situated in said town
ship, containing six hundred and thirty-two acres
and thirty perches, more or less, 20 acres oleared,
and having thereon a small orchard, adj lining
lands of James Patton and others. Upon these two
last tracts there is an almost unlimited quantity of
excellent timber. The whole is well water jd.
The above described real estate is pleasantly sit
uated in a fine agricultural district, at the very
head of railroad market, where all produce raised
can bo sold at the highest prices; and as the saw
mill is one of the finest in the county, and there is
a large quantity of valuable yellow pine and oak
on the same, and the transportation to railroad is
quite convenient, it is considered a valuable
poiut for the manufacturing of lumber; besides
there is an immense quantity of rock oak bark on
the premises. It is believed that the lumber and
bark capacity of the premises, alone, is worth all
the money the property will sell for. The partic
ular atteution of tanners and lumbermen is invi
ted ; as the water-power is of great strength,
the mill site is very valuable, and quite a profi
table chopping business can now be done in addi
tion to the manufacturing of lumber. The prop
erty is likely to sell at a very moderate price.
TERMS One half cash at the confirmation of
the sale and the remainder in one year from that
time.
Sale to commence at 10 o'clock, A. M., of
said day. GEORGE HOUYER.
