ADVERTISE. —Greely says the man
who pays more for shop rent than for
advertising don't know his business.
PI M. ALSIP, Esq. of Bedford, bagged
360 trout the other day. So says the
Inquirer. Bagging trout must be rare
sport, indeed.— Hoi. Standard.
A PORTION of metal composing the
bell of the new Lutheran church at
Johnstown, is said to have been taken
from the famous rebel ram "Merri
mac."
PISCATORIAL.— Our young friend
Lewis Saupp is a very successful fisher
man. A few days ago he captured a
large lot of eels and "fall fish," a nice
string of which was presented to ye ed
itor. Vive le Lewis!
QUITE REFRESHING, these hot sum
mer days, to be clothed in a linen suit,
with a covering of a No. 1 straw hat,
all from the fashiouable store of Berk
stresser & Co., Julianna street. They
keep the best hats and clothing in town.
A COLD WET SUMMER. —French sci
entific men predict the summer of 1867
will be cold and wet like that of last
year. They base the prediction on the
fact that immense masses of ice have bro
ken, or are about to break away from the
extreme North, producing cold vapor.
The weather of the past few days would
notseem to indicatea verification of this
singular prediction.
J. L. LEWIS, who has been absent
from town for several days, has re
turned and opened at his Drug and Sta
tionery store, a pure stock of drugs and
chemicals; a fine assortment of perfum
ery, toilet and fancy articles, fine sta
tionery, Whitman'ssuperbconfections,
Ac. He has also the finest lamp chim
neys we have ever seen. Call and ex
amine.
AGRICULTURAL.— The Executive
Committee of the Bedford County Ag
ricultural Society, met at the Court
House, on Tuesday last, and organized
by the appointment of Hon. O. W.
Gump as President pro tern., and I. D.
Earnest as Secretary pro tern. After
considerable discussion of various sub
jects, Hon. S. L. Russell elected
permanent President and J. W. Dick
erson, Esq., Secretary. The Committee
then adjourned to meet at of the
President of the Society.
The Democratic District Attorney of
Bedford county has absconded, taking
with him a large sum of money belong
ing to soldiers' widows and others. —
Johnstoirn Tribune.
Rev. Sereno Howe, pastor of a church
of the Radical dispensation, and a
prominent Radical member of the Mas
sachusetts Legislature, has absconded,
taking with him a large sum of virtue
and reputation of the female members
ol his flock, including the little girls,
daughters of soldiers' widows and oth
ers. Now who's ahead, the Democrat
ic District Attorney or the Reverend
Radical Legislator?— Johnstown Demo
crat.
HYDROPHOBIA.— Now that the "heat
ed term" is near at hand, and an occas
ional mad dog may be expected, the
following cure for hydrophobia will be
apropos. A gentleman furnishes it to
the RaJinnal R*tel/i/jencer, and vouches
for its efficacy: "Spirits of hartshorn
is a certain remedy for the bite of a
mad dog. The wound should be bath
ed constantly with it, and three or four
doses, diluted, taken inwardly during
the day. The hartshorn decomposes
chemically the virus insinuated iuto
the wound, and immediately alters and
destroys its deleteriousness."
HOME PAPERS. —Recollect if a home
weekly paper is to be supported, home
influence must do it. Every dollar
sent to an eastern paper is at the ex
pense of the local journal. A county
acquires prominence through its papers
more than in any other way, and to ev
ery one who has an interest in his
county at heart, his home paper is a
necessity. Never will such a man take
a paper from home until he is able to
take a secoud paper. His first paper
will be his home sheet and he will so
identify his own interest with that of
his county paper, as to consider his sub
scription as much a matter of yearly
duty as payment of his taxes.
MORE ABOUT GOLD.— There seems
to be a considerable excitement mani
fested in this neighborhood, in conse
quence of gold having been discovered
in the Blue Hills, situated in the lower
end of Germany Valley. The indica
tions were first observed by Mr. C. V.
Trew some time ago, on the property
of Mr. Boody. Since then the same
quartz has been discovered elsewhere in
the neighborhood. The ores have been
analyzed by three assayants in New
York, and each reports it to contain
gold to the value of from thirteen to
sixteen dollars a ton. We understand
that parties arc about leasin# the lands
on which the discoveries have been
made, and intend shortly to commence
operations.— Mt. Union Times.
DISGUSTING. —Our neighbors across
the corner "break in upon" the corner
loafers in the following startling para
graph :
"We this week publish, in another
column, under the head of "How a
Loafer was Rebuked," a few pregnant
lines. There is another class of "plat
ter-brains" who are equally culpable.
We mean that class who stand on the
street corners and in the office-doors
and observe every lady passer by. The
moment they see a lady enter a place of
business they post off at once, and break
in upon her, when, in all probability,
she desires to transact business of a na
ture that she does not wish all the
world to know, and especially the un
gentlemanly intruder who thus breaks
in upon her. We have seen so much
of this that we are disgusted with it."
The subscribers to the Inquirer should
keep close watch upon the paper con
taining those "pregnant lines." When
the period of gestation terminates, they
may have a house full of lines. If there
be any "platter-brains" in their fami
lies they will not want the "lines," or
anything else "equally culpable." We
agree with the Inquirer that it is enough
to disgust any one to see the "platter
brainses" "break in upon" a lady,
"when, in all probability, she desires
to transact business of a nature that she
does not wish all the world to know,"
&c.
THE GOLD AND SILVER EXCITE
MENT. —We have received a specimen
of the gold ore discovered in the lower
end of the county, which has been cre
ating such a sensation. It is now on
exhibition at this office, where it ean
be seen by the curious or the interest
ed. We are informal on what seems
to be good authority that the ore (same
as that in our possession) has been test
ed by scientific men of Philadelphia
and has been pronounced by them to
contain gold beyond doubt, and in good
paying quantities. We have sent spec
imensof the ore to various places(New
York among the rest) in order that it
may be subjected to the closest exami
nation and feel assured that ere long we
will be able to remove all doubt about
the genuinenessofourpreeious mineral
discoveries. —The geological complex
ion of Fulton county bears a striking
similarity to that of all the gold-and
silver-beariug regions we have ever
read descriptions of.
We clip the above from the Fulton
Democrat, of last week. Little Fulton
is certainly progressive. In the first
place she has handsomely increased
her Democratic majority, secondly, gold
and silver are being discovered within
her borders; and lastly, a movement is
in progress to construct a railroad for
the shipment of the precious metals to
Philadelphia for coinage. "To all of
which we say, bully for Fulton!

1 M ULAIW. -'FLIL
burg Classis of the German Reformed
Cliurch, convened at Pattonsville, Bed
ford Co. Pa., on the eveningof the 17th
inst. The opening sermon was preach
ed by Rev. H. Heckerman of Bedford.
Rev. Walter E. Krebs of Waynesboro,
was elected President.—Saturday was
taken up chiefly by the reading of pa
rochial reports. From these it was
manifest that the ministers within the
bounds of this Classis are active in their
work, and that their congregations,
generally, are in a good condition.
During the past year several new charg
es were formed, and at the present
meeting, permission was granted for
the organization of three new congre
gations.
Three students, who had just gradu
ated at the Theological Seminary at
Mereersburg, were examined and li
censed, and two of them were ordained
to the holy ministry and appointed to
Missionary flelds in lowa.—Several
young men about commencing their
studies for the ministry were taken un
der the care of Classis. The Classis
would cheerfully assist in supporting
still more, as there is a great want of
ministers throughout the Church.
Large fields are being divided, new
congregations are organized, but many
of them are vacant and are anxiously
waiting for someone to come and preach
the Gospel and break unto them the
bread of life.
The pastoral relationship existing be
tween Rev. D. W. Gerhard and the
McConnellsburg charge was dissolved
and Mr. Gerhard was dismissed to the
Lancaster Classis in whose bounds he
expects to labor. A committee, con
sisting of Rev. I. G. Brown, Prof. E. E.
Higbeeand Rev. J. B. Kershner, was
appointed to supply the McConnells
burg charge and assist the members in
securing another pastor. The com
mittee expect to have services in the
church in McConnellsburg, in two weeks
from next Sunday, the 16th of June, at
10 A. M.
The above is furnished by a writer
in the last week's Fulton Republican.
Whenever we want any local news we
are compelled to go away from home
to obtain it. Our people don't appear
to be troubled, to any alarming extent,
with the caeoethes scribenili.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.—' The
seventh annual Sunday School Conven

on Wednesday morning, afternoon and
evening; closing its meeting at about
10 o'clock, P. M.
The attendance at the meeting was
good, and interesting and profitable to
all present, and considered in many
respects the best and most religious
Convention as yet held in the District.
All earnest workers in the Sunday
-chool cause, were invited to take part
in the discussions and exercises of the
Convention.
Quite an interesting discussion arose
in regard to policy and benefit of hold
ing at some future time in this District,
a Sunday School Institute. The mat
ter was finally disposed of by placing
the matter in the hands of Bro. Barn
hart, who was directed by Convention,
to make all needful arrangements if ser
vices of Rev. J. H. Vincent could be
obtained.
The Children's meeting, on Wednes
day morning, was very interesting.
Addresses were made by Rev. D. S.
Monroe, Rev. W. Gvvynn, Rev. R. E.
Wilson, and Rev. J. P. Moore, accom
panied with singing by school: "Where
doyoujourney my brother," "The Shi
ning Way," "Climbing up Zion's Hill,"
"Beautiful River," and "Nearer my
Home."
The annual Sermon before the Con
vention, was preached on Tuesday eve
ning, by Rev. George Warren, of Birm
ingham Circuit. The sermon was able,
forcible, practical and beneficial to all.
A number of topics were brought by
the committee, before the Convention,
and created quite an interesting debate
and discussion.
Quite a number of interesting remarks
were made on the Temperancequestion.
The following resolution was offered
and passed:
Resolved , That it is the duty of S. S.
Officers and Teachers, to impress the
principles of Temperance upon the

discussed : "Sunday School Normal
Schools," "Duty of preachers to Sunday
Schools," "How to open and close Sun
day Schools," "Adult Bible Classes,"
"< )n the management of Infant classes,"
"How to secure attention, theatfections,
and conversion of Sunday School schol
ars."
The following resolutions on the a
bove,and other topics, were offered and
passed:

missionary money, is the plan set forth
in the Discipline, by organizing our
schools into Missionary Societies.
ltesolced, That there should be, (as
far as practicable,) a Normal class in
connection with each of our schools,
and all S. S. Superintendents and
Teachers should be members of the
same.
Resolved, That we hold our next Sun
day School Convention in Huntingdon,
on the last Tuesday in May, 1868 at 1
o'clock, P. M., and close on Wednesday
night.
Resolved, That the thanks of this con
vention are due, and are hereby tender

generous and unsurpassed hospitality
to delegates and visiiors. Also to P. C.
R. & Huntingdon & Broad Top R. R.

Resolved, That the first Sabbath of Au
gust, 1867, besetapart in allourChurch
es, as a special day of thankigiving and

A vote of thanks was returned to
Bros. Furguson and Masters and the
good Sisters for kind attentions. A
vote of thanks was tendered to the
President and Secretaries for their
fathful services. J. D. S.
rt ft* stated that Bifttistone Ttrown
low is projecting a navy—in the shape
of two old iron plates—for service on
the Cumberland river, and thus co-op
erate with his land forces in keeping
"rebels" from the polls. Bottled Butler
would be a suitable beast to command

"Woodberry, May 7th, 1867 Sir: I
want you to quit talking about me and
coming up here to run opposition a
gainst me, and all this kind of thing,
or I will put the law in force on you."
The above epistle came to hand, in
the vicinity of Woodberry, from the
hand of something in the shape of a
man, who professes to be a singing mas
ter, and who says, he can read music
as well as anybody else. Just think!
Men who don't understand simple mel
ody pretend to instruct in vocal music,
talk Thorough Bass on the street corn
ers, and get some innocent little boy,
to ask a few simple questions. For
my part, I think this is sufficient to
make the brains of an honest Musician
reel, or compel a tadpole to climb a
five barred rail fence to get out of their
way. Oye jealous hearted improperly
so-called professors, why not face the
Music yourselves?
