FEELING GOOD- —Our farmers, who
are just in the midst of harvest. It is
no wonder, for better" crops have not
blessed their visions for years If the
Abolition taxes were not so heavy; if
cuffee was not so costly; if the prospects
of our country were a little brighter;
if we had a metal lie currency in place of
rags, and if they had their sons back
that mongrelism murdered, in its war
to free the niggers, and overthrow the
Republic, wouldn't they beahappy set of
mortals, with their granaries overflow
ing with the piles of wheat, they are
just harvesting, and the prospects of a
splendid corn crop?— Ex.
SCHELLSBU KG CELEBRATION. —T lie
surroundings of Schellsburg are very
beautiful and the country thickly set
tled, and the people residing there are
whole-souled and generous to a fault.
On the 4th of July they had an old
fashioned celebration. Tne town was
crowded with people. The Bedford
Democratic Brass Band was on hand,
and as a mater of course discoursed pa
triotic music. After the meeting was
organized the Declaration of Independ
ence was read by J. 11. Whetstone, Esq.,
and a masterly oration was delivered
by Hon. B. F. MEYERS. A copy of
the address was solicited for publica
tion. Mr. Meyers was followed by M.
A. POINTS, Esq., in a pleasing address.
Under the direction of JOHN S. SCHEI.L,
Esq., and other prominent citizens of
Hchellsburg, the celebration could not
have been anything else than a perfect
success.— Somerset Democrat.
EDS. GAZETTE:—The farmers have
about finished cutting grain, and are
now engaged in hauling it to their
barns. There lias not been, for many
years, such a crop of wheat raised in
Napier township as the present season
has produced. The crop is extra and
has been taken off in good order. That
staunch old Democrat, and good citizen,
Peter Winegardner, has upwards of
eight hundred dozens of prime wheat,
and several other of his neighbor farm
ers have large crops. The oats crop is
good, and the corn has a fine appear
ance. The hay crop will be at least one
third heavier this year than last. Fruit,
of all kinds, will be scarce, there are
but few apples and no peaches, and the
cherry crop was lighter than has been
for many years. Thinking you would
like to know how the crops of grain is
in this part of the country, I concluded
I would drop you a few lines on the
subject. Yours, Ac., NAPIEE.
THE CANADA THISTLE LAW.—Sev
eral of the State Legislatures have late
ly enacted laws against the Canada this
tle, and we trust they all will wherev
er there is the least danger of its making
its appearance.
In our own Legislature, some five
years ago there was a similar law pass
against this, the vilest of all the encum
brances of a farm— mortgages scarcely
excepted. This law provides in effect,
that, "Hereafter any individual or cor
poration allowing the Canada thistle
upon his premises from the lands of a
careless and thriftless neighbor, may,
after five days notice, enter upon any
lands where the weed is found growing,
cut it, and recover full cost for the la
bor and trouble."
WIIY FOLKS READ LOCALS.— An old
"local," who ought to know all about
things pertaining to his department,
says the people read items of local in
terest for reasons as opposite as man
and wife. A, reads about a fight be
cause he was there, and saw it; B, be
cause he wasn't there and didn't; C,
because he had heard about it; I), be
cause he hadn't; while those who had
a hand in it, want to know how much
of truth concerning them the editor has
deemed com patable in its utterance with
a continuation of his own earthly ca
reer. The consciousness, too, that hun
dreds of others are simultaneously pe
rusing the same article, and that it is
therefore a subject of common 'hought
and conversation, doubtless adds to the
zest with which ordinary readers eager
ly devour articles that otherwise would
have but a dull perusal or 110 perusal at
all.
A LIRERAL LAW. —An exchange re
marks: "A majority of the people
seem to be in ignorance of the fact that
a law was passed last winter providing
that every honorably discharged sol
dier who is a resident of Pennsylvania
and who, from wounds contracted
while in the service of his country, is.
unable, on account of disability, to pro
curea livelihood by manual labor, shall
have the right to hawk, peddle and
vend any wares, by procuring license
for that purpose which license shall be
issued to him free of cost. To insure a
soldier the benefit of the act, it is nec
essary that he procure a certificate from
a surgeon of the United States army,
that he is unfit to make a living by
manual labor, and a certificate from a
prothonoiary of any county in the State
that he is the bona fide owner of the
goods he sells. Those of the brave vet
erans who are entitled to the benefit
of the act, should make it their busi
ness to take advantage of the generous
provisions of the bill."
RANCID BUTTER.—WO cut from an
exchange the following recipe: "Ton
pint of water add thirty drops (about
half a v teaspoonful) of liquor of chlo
ride of lime. Wash in this two and a
half pounds of rancid butter. When
every particle of the butter has come
in contact with the water, let it stand
an hour or two; then wash the butter
well again in pure water. The butter
is then left without any odor, and has
the sweetness of fresh butter. These
preparations of lime have nothing in
jurious in them."
The same paper says: "We forth
with obtained some of the most rancid
butter, and it was bad enough for any
stomach that had more sesibility than
a wagon wheel. We doctored it as per
recipe, and when placed on the table
along with new butter, very able judg
es could not distinguish which was new
butter. Here is a fact worth a year's
subscription to a paper."
BLOODY RUN SCHOOL HOUSE.— We
print below the material parts of a com
munication in reply to an article which
appeared in our issue of week before
last, and hope that this will end the
controversy:
BLOODY RUN, July 19th, 1567.
Editors Gazette:— Your paper of the
12th of July, contains an article written
by a self-styled "citizen" of Bloody Run
Borough, uated June the 24th, 1897.
The writer attempts to vindicate the
conduct of the four School Directors
who treated a majority of the tax-pay
ers' petition with di-respect. The Pe
titioners respectfully requested the
School Board to demand rent of Mr. J.
Long, Teacher, for his Select School
for 1867. Two of the Directors treated
the petition with respect, desiring to
receive it as it came from the majority
of citizens. A majority of the Board
rejected the petition. "Citizen" com
pares the intelligence of the Board with
that of "Petitioner." "Petitioner" said
nothing about the intelligence of the
Directors in his article, he simply re
buked them for not receiving the pe
tition. "Citizen" speaks about the per
plexing questions presented to them.
He appears to be very much perplexed
about the petitioners' request, lie cer
tainly must be directly interested in
the perplexity of the Directors. "Citi
zen" further says that nearly all locali
ties contain a class of citizens who are
eternally clamoring about the Schools.
The petitioners were clamoring for rent
for a commodious school house and
every liberal and just-minded man will
acknowledge that justice demanded
rent from Mr. Long. The petitioners
have been taxed enormously to erect
their School edifice. When Mechanics,
Laborers, Doctors Ac., have to pay rent
for their shops and offices, should teach
ers claim exemption? "Citizen" says
that sixty dollars have been paid by the
teacher. This amount was paid for six
months, for 1866, and that was ob
tained by an Exhibition at the close
of the Common School term. Furni
ture being needed for the house, it was
expended to obtain it.. The pupils
merited this furniture for their indus
try in committing and reciting speech
es and dialogues. Thus the pupiis them
selves paid for their furniture, and this
proves that no rent has been paid for
1866. Iu conclusion I would respect
fully recommend to my fellow "Citi
zen," to advocate rent for our School
House, for Select School purposes and
any private purpose. The old proverb
says, "Take care of the cents and the
dollars will take care of themselves."
PETITIONER.

mo THE FRIENDS OF TEM-
X PERANCE IN BEFORD COUNTY .-From
all sections of the State, as well as our common
country, come the manifestations of awakened in
terest among the people in the cause of Temper
ance. and the determination expressed by renewed
labors to lessen the personal degradation poverty,
pauperism and crime produced by intemperance,
and to suppress the traffic in intoxicating liquors,
the prolifiu parents of these evils. The men en
gaged iu the liquor traffic, supported by appetite,
love of gain, and large pecuniary resources, per
ceiving that the success of the Temperance cause
will be the death of their business, have convened,
and will . Tenuously resist the movement. It has,
therefore, become more necessary than ever for the
friends of Temperance to combine for concerted
action" At the Slate Temperance Convention held
at Harrisburg, on the lath of February last, it was
resolved that, WHEREAS, The Temperance work
is now carried on by a variety of organizations and
instrumentalities, acting separately and indepen
dently of each other, but animated by a common
faith and laboring for a common end ; AND WHERE
AS, It is deemed advisable, for the utmost efficien
cy. that a union should be lortned, which, whilst
leaving each organization free to labor in its fa
vorite method, shall t>e the recognized represen
tative of all, and form a common bond and a com
mon channel through which the influence of all
may be Lit in the work of temperance reform.
Therefore, an organization named th e Pennsylva
nia State Temperance Union was by the conven
tion authorized and perfected By means of Tem
perance Unions in each county, it is intended to
carry with increased vigor the principles of Tem
perance to every portion of tbeS ate, and submit
them to the enlightened judgment of the people.
The undersigned, desirous to torm a "Union'' that
shall prove a common centre to promote uni'y of
action among the friends of Temperance in Bed
ford county, do most earnestly invite all the
Churches. Colleges. Seminaries, Academies, lodges
of Good Templars, Sons of Temperance, Temple of
Honor, and all the Temperance organizations who
hold and teach "total abstinence" from the use of
intoxicating drinks as a beverage to be aright
practice, and the prohibition in the traffic in such
drinks to be the right and duty of the State, to
meet by delegates in convention, in the Court
House in Bedford, on the "31st day of July, at 2 o'-
clock, P. M-, for the purpose of forming a Bedford
County Temperance Union, and to consult and de
vise plans for the promo'ion of the cause of Tem
fierance in the said county. The Churches, Col
eges, and Temperance organizations, Ac., above
named are requested to send delegates from each,
not exceeding ten in number, and all friends of
Temperance who may not thus be represented, are
alio eordially invited to be present and participate
in the convention Let all friends of morality and
Temperance take immediate steps on the recep
tion of this invitation, to cause delegations to be
formed, that the convention fcay fitly represent
the cause in the aforesaid county; and "God, even
our God, will bless us."
