TIIE FOURTH ATSCHELLSBUKG.— The
Ninety-First anniversary of the sign
ing of the Declaration of Independence,
was celebrated in appropriate style, at
Schellsburg. A large crowd from the
surrounding country was in attendance.
In the forenoon the Bedford Democrat
ic Brass Band paraded the strets, play
ing patriotic airs. Mr. Burton Edsall,
of the Exchange Hotel, served up a
magnificent entertainment which was
partaken of by upwards of one hundred
guests. The dinner was gotten up under
the superintendence of Mrs. Edsall, as
sisted by Mrs.Snively, late of the "Ex
change," and reflected great credit up
on theculinary education of those ladies.
It was truly one of the best dinners we
ever sat down to. Dinner having been
discussed, the crowd assembled in front
of the "Exchange," a large stand hav
ing been erected there for the accom
modation of of the speakers. After sev
eral beautiful airs by the Band, the
meeting was called to order by the ap
pointment of CHARLES DANNAKKR
ESQ., as President, Emanuel Statler,
Esq., Vice President, Walter Garlinger
ami , Secretaries. On mo
tion of John S. Schell, Esq., the Declara
tion of Independence was then read by
Mr. J. H. Whetstone. After the read
ing of the Declaration was concluded,
B. F. Meyers, Esq., of Bedford, was in
troduced as the orator of the occasion,
and proceeded to deliver a patriotic ad
dress, which was well received by the
audience. On motion it was unani
mously reso'ved that a copy of Mr
Meyers'address be solicited for publi
cation in the county papers, and a com
mittee was appointed for that purpose.
M. A. Points, Esq., was then called
upon, and in some happily expressed
remarks, referred to the appropriate
and pleasing manner in which the cel
ebration had been conducted, after
which the meeting adjourned, all appar
ently satisfied that they had once more
beheld an old fashioned Fourth of Ju
ly. _
PISCATORIAL. —A number of young
"bloods" from this place (including our
junior partner) went on a fishing ex
cursion to the Alleghany mountains,
one day last week. They had great
luck. Two of the party lost themselves
in the woods and were compelled to
camp out. Their food was—not locusts
and wild honey. They are supposed
to have subsisted principally on birch
bark and dried fish-worms. The re
mainder of the party did all the dam
age they could to their clothes and the
pantries of the mountain people. The
whole set returned some days after
ward, considerably the worse for the
wear. If they got any trout, the se
nior saw none of them, and, therefore,
further this deponent saith not.
AGRICULTURAL MEETING.—A meet
ing of the Bedford County Agricultural
Society, was held in the Court House,
on Saturday, June 2!), Hon. S. L. ltus
sell, President, in the chair, and I. F.
Meyers, secretary pro tern. On motion
it was resolved to hold a County Fair
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
the Second, Third and Fourth days of
October, next. After the transaction
of some other business the meeting ad
journed.
TIIE FOURTH AT SAXTON. —There
was a grand and glorious time at Sax
ton on the Fourth. The Odd Fellows
had a large parade, making a beautiful
display, and Dr. C. X. Hickok, of Bed
ford, delivered an eloquent and interest
ing address. We have not been fur
nished the particulars of the proceed
ings.
FOR FRUIT CANS.— Take rosin, eight
ounces; gum shellac, two ounces; bees
wax, one-half ounce, and if you desire
it colored, English vermillion, one and
a half ounces. Melt the rosin, and stir
in the vermillion, if used. Then add
the shellac slowly, and afterwards the
beeswax. This will make quite a
quantity, and needs only to be melted
to be ready for use at any time.
HORSE AGE. —It is said that after a
liorse is nine years old a wrinkle comes
on the eyelid at the upper corner of the
lower lid, and every year thereafter he
has one well-defined wrinkle for each
year over nine. If, for instance, a
horse has three wrinkles, he is twelve;
if four, he is thirteen, <£c.

highly esteemed as an officer.

EDS. GAZETTE.:—UIe of the April
numbers of your paper, contains an ar
ticle in which the writer denounces the
action of the Board of Directors of.
Bloody Run, upon the question of rent
for School House, for private Schools.
The writer's statements are very plausi
ble to all unacquainted with the facts;
but, as we ciaim as much intelligence
for our Board, as can be found among
the petitioner and his friends, we shall
venture a reply.
Your columns were offered us at the
time of the publication of "Petition
er's" article, yet we preferred waiting
for the advertised Report of the Board
for that school year. We believed, then,
that the Board was not disregarding
the interests of the Borough, in order
to favor the teacher, and if those who
were then disposed to censure and
threaten will read the report, they must
conclude that their demands had been
met by the Board, and, that our confi
dence was not misplaced.
It is very uncharitable, to denounce
the action of any one, without positive
assurance that such denunciations are
merited. School Boards have very of
ten the most perplexing questions pre
sented to them, and without an ac
quaintance with all the facts, their de
cisions cannot be fully understood.
But, nearly all localities contain a
class of citizens who are eternally clam
oring about the schools. They claim
to favor public schools, yet are never
pleased with the official conduct of their
Directors, and will charge, accuse and
lampoon, in a most unchristian man
ner, without asking a single question
as to the causes of the action of their
respective Boards.
Directors receive but few thanks for
the performance of their duties, at best;
yet, when citizens are disposed to cir
culate remonstrances in opposition to
their decision, and publish charges in
the county papers that have not a shad
ow of truth in them, how futile seem
the anxieties and labors gratuitously
bestowed by them, for the benefit of the
young, when a few demagogues will
do their utmost to defeat every good
measure. Could those persons be in
duced to exhibit as much interest in the
intellectual welfare of their children,
as they at all times show for their hors
es or poultry, their own and their
children's appearance and enjoyments,
we should have a different state of af
fairs. The comfort of children in the
school rooms, is of no consequence to
them. The encouragement that the
teacher should have to enable him to
discharge his duties so as to benefit all,
is never given by visits to the school,
or by words or looks elsewhere. But
on the slightest intimation of neglect
or mistake on the part of those who do
their utmost for the advancement of
education, no effort seems too great
that will magnify and give publicity,
to that for which generosity should de
mand forbearance. The charge against
the Board of this Borough, was exceed
ingly ungenerous, for they not only
exercised the most scrupulous care of
the property of the public, but did the
best they could for the children of the
dissatisfied.
The rent question is answered in the
Report in a satisfactory manner. We
think it should satisfy the most exact
ing, for it is there shown that they re
ceived an amount not less than $G<) for
the use of the house for G months. Will
"Petitioner" read that report and re
lieve his credulity? We hope he may
be relieved, and hereafter give his in
fluence in favor of every measure that
will tend to advance the interest of our
schools, until they stand first in the
County. CITIZEN.
Bloody Run, June 24, 18G7.
We gather the following particulars ,
from a Philadelphia contemporary in
regard to the liiver-side Institute, the
advertisement of which appears iu our
columns:—
This Institute promises to be one of I
the grandest and noblest institutions of
its kind ever organized. In order that
money may be speedily raised for the
maintenance of the Home, the Wash
ington Library Company has organized
and adopted a plan which will meet
with a hearty approval and earnest sup
port from all. This Company knowing
from the past that to raise funds by ap
peals to the charitable public is Slow
and uncertain work, oftentimes result
ing in total failure, have adopted their
present method for accomplishing this
much-desired result. Their plan is to
issue stock at one dollar per share, each
share of stock entitling the holder there
of to one finely-executed steel plate en
graving, which at retail could not be
purchased for this sum. In addition to
this, presents consisting of several
thousand dollars in greenbacks, real es
tate, horses, jewelry, silver ware, sew
ing machines, pianos, melodeons, and
hundreds of other valuable articles a
mounting in the aggregate to $300,000,
will also be bestowed among the stock
holders. Every stockholder not only
receives his engraving at the time of
purchase, but will also receive a pres
ent at the distribution, there being no
exceptions. The Company are enabled
to act thus liberally from the fact, that
making their purchases of engravings,
and of the presents to be given away,
in such enormously large quantities,
the cost per single article is greatly re
duced to what would be the price were
the purchase of the same made at retail.
Besides this all the presents, such as ri -
al estate, etc,, have been handed over
to the Company by the original owners
at their lowest market value. On this
account are the Company enabled to of
fer such great inducements to those who
would interest themselves and aid in
alleviating the miseries and distress of
the hundreds and thousands of poor
and forsaken orphans who are now daily
seen in the lanes and thoroughfares of
our large cities.

NOTICE TO OWNERS OF PIANOS!—
Whereas, certain unreliable and ui -
principled individuals have been visit
ing my patrons, representing them
selves as partners of mine, or sent by
me to tune pianos, 1 hereby give no
tice that all such are "tinkers" and im
postors. The undersigned will visit
Bedford regularly, in the months of
November, December, and June or Ju
ly of each year, and endeavor to main
tain his reputation in person. Those
who may desire reference as to my ca
pability intuningand repairing pianos

GOOD SENSE AND ONE PRICE, — Good
Judgment in the selection of Farm Mu
ch inert/ and Hardware —one price to all
—and .fair, reasonable Profits, are the
secrets of the success of thefirm of Hart
ley & Metzger. It is astonishing to see
the business done at this store. Great
piles of Reapers, Mowers, Horse Rakes,
Cradles, <Src, melt away, to make room
for long trains of the world renowned
Gum Roller Grain Drills, of which
they expect to sell a mile this season,
and no wonder at this, for they are
certainly the best farm machine ever
invented. Go in time if you want
one.
CURE YOUR CORNS.— An exchange
says: Put the feet for half an hour, two
or three successive nights, in a pretty
strong solution of soda. The alkali dis
solves the indurated cuticle, and the
corns fall out spontaneously, leaving a
small cavity, which soon fills. This re
ceipt is vouched for as a certain reme
dy. Should it prove so it will entitle
the author to the heartfelt thanks of ma
ny a sufferer.

deportment, he adorned the different relations in
life which he sustained. A-a husband and father,
he was kind and loving and indulgent; as neigh

last sickness, though severe and protracted, he
bore with entire resignation to the will of God.
Death, to him, had no sting and the grave will
