RETURNED. —Mr. Jacob Fetterly,
formerly of this place, but for some
years a citizen of Texas, is now on a
visit to his friends in this place. Mr.
Fetterly informs us that when lie left
Texas, a jury in one of the counties of
that State, was composed of eleven ne
groes and one white man !
IMPROVEMENTS. —Who says Bedford
does not improve? Since last year the
"Arandale House" (a fine building)
lias been erected by Messrs. Smiths A
Robartz; the "Chalybeate House," (a
nother commodious structure) by Mr.
Chenoweth; a large and well arranged
boarding-house has been built by Mr.
Cramer; and at present Hon. S. L.
Russell is building a fine addition to
his residence; Dr. Watson lias also ren
ovated his office, and thus the title ol
improvement rolls on. The croakers
mustn't fence us up yet.
Coi*. J. H. FILLER. —We had the
pleasure on Monday last, of shaking
hands with our friend Col. J. H. Filler,
who is now on a visit to his family and
friends in this plaee. Col. Filler was,
last winter, appointed an Examiner in
the Pension Office at Washington,
which position he still holds; and has
also lately been appointed to a Lieuten
ancy in the Regular Army. We con
gratulate the Colonel upon his luck.
•
Parties in quest of a man who had
stolen a horse somewhere in Bedford
county, were at Suinmerhill, this coun
ty, on Saturday evening last, just twen
ty-four hours behind the thief, who
had passed through that village witli
his booty the evening previous. A
person answering the description of the
thief is said to have passed through
this place on Saturday.— Ebensburg
Freeman.
•
THE BANKRUPT LAW.—NOW that
this act is going into operation, it is
best thatovery one interested in Bank
ruptcy should have a good copy of the
law, and we can think of no better way
of obtaining one than by sending 20
CENTS to Frank Moore, Publisher, Bi- j
ble House, New York, for a copy of his
"People's Edition." It is sent FREE by
mail, for that price— 2o CENTS.
THE WHEAT CROP.— The midge or j
flying weevil has made itsappearancein
the late growing wheat in thisneighboi
hood, and from their numbers promise
its total destruction. It is the opinion
of good judges that the early wheat is
already beyond the ravages of this in
sect, and therefore the majority of the
growing crop in this section is safe.—
Carlisle Volunteer.
BEAR AND BRAVE IT.— The "crisis"
is come—so it is said. The "times" are
"dull" is croaked by the "other fel
low." Well, what of it? We must
only take care or some of us will be
"swamped." Let us do the best, just
now, we can. Roll up our sleeves and
assault hard and dull times wherever
and whenever we can. The crops prom
ise abundance, and the fall may bring
better times. Let us hope for the best,
and not sit down moaning by the
wayside. There are plenty of people in
the world much worse off than we are.
•
THE NEWSPAPER. —A child begin
ning to read becomes delighted with
newspapers, because he reads of names
which are very familiar and he will
progress accordingly. A newspaper in
one year is worth a quarter's schooling
to a child, and every father must con
sider that substantial information is
connected with this advancement. The
mother of a family being one of the
heads, and having a more immediate
charge of children, should herself be
instructed. A mind occupied becomes
fortified against the ills of life, and is
braced for any emergency. Children
amused by reading or study are, of
course, considerate, and more easily
governed. How many thoughtless
young men have spent their earnings
in a tavern or grog-shop, who ought to
have been reading? How many parents
who never spent twenty dollars for
books for their families, would gladly
have given thousands to reclaim a son
or daughter who had ignorantly and
thoughtlessly fallen into temptation?
PRICES AND PROSPECTS.— Every
consumer may well rejoice in the grat
ifying fact of falling prices for the neces
s iries of life. In Chicago, corn, that
sold for Sl 10a bushel inthethird week
of May, fell to 00 cents on June sth.
Oats, which sold for IMi cents on May
28th, fell to 60 cents on June sth. Rye,
which was quoted at $1 37 in May, had
fallen to $1 02 in June V heat, which
was $2 85 a bushel in May, sold as low
last week as $l9O. Chicago is the head
quarters of the grain trade of the coun
try. The prospects of abundant crops
have been the cause of this market
decline. The New York Journal of
Commerce estimates the yield of hay
this year at 30,000,000 tons, as compared
with 21,000,000t0ns last year; of corn
at 1,200,000,000 bushels last year, and
other crops in proportion. The effect
of so bountiful a supply should be the
reduction of the prices of the necessaries
of life to a reasonable figure.
HINTS TO TATTLERS.— An old friend
of ours, hands us the following, clip
ped from a late number of the Presbyte
rian : The heights and recesses of
Mount Taurus are said to be much in
fested by eagles, who are never better
pleased than when they can pick the
bones of a crane. Cranes are prone to
cackle and make a noise, (Isa. xxxviii.
14) and particularly so while they are fiy
ing. The sound of their voices arous
es the eagles, who spring at the signal,
and often make the talkative travellers
pay dearly for their imprudent chat
tering. The older and more experien
ced cranes, sensible of their besetting
foible, and the peril to which it exposes
them, take care before venturing on the
wingtoarm themselvseach with a stone
large enough to fill the cavity of their
mouths, and consequently to impose
unavoidable silence on their tongues,
and thus they escape the danger.—
Reader, hast thou an ugly tongue?
Learn a lesson fro n the elder cranes,
and to bridle thy tongue by watchful
ness and prayer, that thou mayest say
with the Psalmist, who had doubtless
witnessed, and perhaps felt, the infirm
ity of which we have been speaking,
"I said, I will take heed to my way,
that I sin not with my tongue."
ORPHANS OF SOLDIERS AND SAIL
ORS.—In our paper of to-day will be
found the announcement of the River
side Institute of Burlington county, N.
J., for Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans.
This liberal and splendid enterprise
commends itself to an intelligent and
humane public. From the Philadel
phia Evening Telegraph we glean the
following facts in relation to the insti
tution. It is founded for the purpose
of gratuitously educating the sons of
deceased Soldiers and Seamen of the
United States, and was incorporated on
the Bth of April last. In order to raise
funds for the maintenance of the Insti
tution, the Washington Library Com
pany, chartered by the State of Penn
sylvania, organized itself and perfect
ted a plan which has received the en
dorsement of the highest legal author
ity of this State and New Jersey.—
Their plan of action is to sell certifi
cates of membership at $1 each. Five
series of fine steel-plate engravings
have been issued, one of which will be
given to every subscriber, in addition
to a present which is also ensured,
(there being no exceptions,) and which
will be awarded on tne 23th day of
September next, at the Academy of
Music or at the Institute. The pre
sents to be awarded consist of Forty
Thousand, Ten Thousand, Five Thous
and, and two of Twenty-Five Hundred
Dollars, all in greenbacks, together
with real estate, horses, pianos, melo
deons, sewing machines, gold watches
camel's hair, lace and Cashmere shawls,
dress patterns, silver ware, and an end
less variety of other goods of great
value. Every purchaser will in addi
tion to the engraving which he receives
also receive some one of the presents an
nounced for distribution. All moneys
received will be at once paid over to
George A. Cooke A Co., bankers, No.
33 South Third street, who have been
induced to act. as receivers, from the
simple fact that it has been fully shown
ts their satisfaction that the whole net
proceeds are to be devoted to the Riv
erside Institute, and the hundreds of
orphans who are now knocking at its
doors for admission, and who are denied
this blessing on account of the want
of funds. This reason has also induced
the Commisioner of Internal Revenue
to exempt the affair from all tax of any
kind whatever. The object is a noble
one, and the present plan was only a
dopted after mature deliberation and
consultation with the highest legal au
thority. In no other way can the Com
pany raise so large a sum as will be re
quired. And when a fair equivalent
for the same is offered, it is hoped that
this Institution will soon be in working
order.
