BEDFORD BY GAS-LIGHT.—THE PRESS-GANG ON YE ANCIENT LOCALI TY.—Now, by the beard of Mahomet, here is a pretty state of affairs! It nev er rains but it pours, and one newspaper correspondent never writes about Bed ford, but a dozen follow his example. Just now Bedford is seen, through the medium of newspaper gas-light, by "the whole world and the rest of man kind." It is now as much a matter of course to find "Our Bedford Letter," in the leading dailies and hebdomadals, as i t once was to see "Correspondence from the Seat of War." This is the case, from the Somerset Democrat down to the X. Y. Herald. Now, we would like to publish all that the papers say of our place, but we "haven't the stowage room." So we must do the best we t-an, and give our readers a taste of the different things said about us by differ ent persons. We begin, then, with jolly Jack Hiestand, of the Lancaster Examiner , who thus discourseth in his paper of July 24th: A delightful ride of twelve hours brought me to this famous watering place among the mountains of Pi nnsyl vania. The valley of the Juniata which has been so often described and sketched by the summer tourist, was yielding to the hand of the reaper the richest harvest that has ever been gathered. The ride over the stilts and trestles of the Broad Top, if notso pleas ant as that in the comfortable cars of the Pennsylvania Central, is at least exciting enough for any person of weak nerves, constantly reminding him of life insurance policies and all that. When on the bridge at Saxton, gazing down from a height of one hundred feet into the waters of the Juniata, if he is ofaliterary turn, he may call to mind Shakspeare's description of a dizzy ele vation in Lear. But that it may quiet the nerves of any timorous old lady or gentleman, it may be necessary to re mind them that no accident has yet oc curred on this road, and that it is by reason of the carefulness of its manage ment, one of the safest roads in the country. There is al ready quite a large company gathered here, and it is daily increas ing. ******* These Springs have always been a favorite resort of two distinguished ; men of Lancaster, who, if agreeing in nothing else in their lives, havealways united in their praises of the healthful waters, pure air and delightful scenery of these mountains Hither have they come year after year, to recuperate their energies after the hard labors of public life, and to forget, if they could, for a little while, the fierce personal and po litical controversies in which they had been engaged. Tiiere is not an urchin in this neighborhood who does not know Stevens and Buchanan. * * Unwonted dullness reigns at ancient 'Crockford's." No busy fingers are drawing the cards from the cold silver box. The counters, red and white, are piled up in even and innocent rows.— The "tiger," with out-stretched paw, yawns lazily upon his carpet of green. The 'pharo' man sits pensively and shuffles the cards mechanically, like Napoleon at Longwood playing "Solitaire ." Little do the unsuspec ting loiterers on the lawn dream that a beast is uozing so near, that at a touch from its keeper will grapple its victim with deadlier hug than that of any tiger in the deepest jungle of Bengal. But Crockford's had a little fillip of ex citement a few days ago. A stranger arrived from the city of R , in New York. He was a fine-looking, accomp lished fellow. He played a brilliant game of billiards, frequently running a hundred points with perfect ease, and making those wonderful caroms that have made Berger, Kavanagh and Nelms so famous. A capital shot, he brought down with his Manton double barrel more than his share of woodcock on the wing, and hooked more trout than the keenest disciple of Old Isaak in the neighbor ho >d. Then, too, he had an amiable way of making presents of the spoils of field and brook. Hence it is easy to guess that he soon beciune a favorite among the promiscuous irjfcl • titude who assemble at the Springs.— The other evening he received a friend ly invitation to join in a little game of "draw," at Crockford's, "only for a musement, you know." He left the next morning, the gossips say, with two thousand in cash. And Madame Rumor further hath it that the gay "gamboliers" who congregate in the classic precincts of old Crockford's, were not alone in their grief over thesudden and unexpected departure of the strang er. He danced with the grace of the admirable Crichton, and while in the mazes of the German, he whispered in the ear something which, together with his dancing and good looks, won the heart of one of the fairest of our dam sels ; and she sadly sits now beneath the lindens on the lawn, awaiting the return of him who has gone to some other fashionable resort, and joined other souls who "won't go home till morning." * * * The hotel is very well conducted this year. The mutton and spring chick ens never were better, and if these do not satisfy you, you can have woodcock for breakfast; and these are good, as I know from daily experience. By the way I am informed by a friend who occasionally indulges In a "nip" that the whisky sold here is of a most excellent quality—equal to genu ine J. B. I mention this fact for the in formation of any who may wish to visit the Springs, so that they need not en cumber themselves with that kind of baggage. It is as foolish to do so as "carrying coal to New Castle." Now we pick up that ably conducted newspaper, the Somerset Democrat , and we eliminate therefrom the following description of a trip made to Bedford, by a correspondent of that paper, who subscribes himself "Traveler:" "From Roxbury I commenced ascend ing the Allegheny Mountains, and toil ed on until I reached the "White Horse." Here I was refreshed with a drink of pure Mountain water, cold as it comes Irom the bowels of the earth. The."White Horse" was once a cele brated stand. I remember well the days when it was kept by Mr. Jordan, when it was the summer resort of many persons, and my mind now reverts to the delicious strawberries and rich cream we used to get. Mr. Jordan is now mouldering with his mother earth.—l descended the mountain from ; this place to3lr. Jacob Hillegas' (the old Keelfe property.) Here too, was once a favorite resort for the young and merry, and many times I whirled in the excitement of the giddy dance. At this place, onward I proceeded past Peter Hillegas', (the Palmer property) George G. Walker's (the Sprout prop erty) and reached that old veteran dem ocrat, John Corly, for dinner. This place is called West End, and is in Bed ford county. Ad. Geller keeps a hotel, and George Gardill has a store. Mr. Gardill is a Justice of the Peace and be longs to the gallant Democracy of Ju niata township. After I reached the top of the Ridge, I looked upon the most beautiful sight ever beheld by mortal vision. Here is a valley walled all around with moun tains, with their magnificent gorges.— On the west, extending north, are the monster Alleghanies with their sum mit piercing the clouds; on tne South is the not less towering Savage, extend ing East, until it reaches the "Kinton Knob." Far off'in the northeast can be seen the town of Schellsburg, and in the North, the beautiful little village of Buena Vista, with its white houses shining like diamonds in a cluster of emeralds.—Here it is that William Kcyser, a noble, generous and hospita ble man and an energetic Democrat, re sides. In the West is seen the valley around New Baltimore. This is a stir ring village in Somerset county. Its citizens are industrious and intelligent, and they are nearly all Democrats. When they go to the elections, _ Alle gheny township always rolls up"a tre mendous majority. A little further down in this valley, can be seen the elegant home of L. N. Fyan, Esq., the very type of a man and Democrat. He is now on a visit to his friends in. "old Ireland." This whole valley is dotted with splendid residences and well cul tivated farms. Running through it are the crystal waters of the Juniata. God doubtless could make a prettier valley than this, but doubtless God never did. When we look upon this valley we are led to exclaim, "the people who live here are highly favored"—and knowing the people, we exclaim, "they deserve all they have." This valley gives a large Democratic majority. To Juni ata, Napier, Schellsburg and St. Clair, we bid an affectionate adieu by request ing them to continue in the good work. For more than ten miles this valley is seen ; we lose view of it for a few moments yvhen we come down the hill to the beautiful farm formerly owned by John Metzgar, but now by a Mr. Ling, from Shade township. From Metzgar's along the road are seen good houses and generally well cultivated farms. I arrived next at the hotel kept by Joseph Cessna, Esq., seven miles on this side of Bedford. Mr. Cess na keeps a splendid house, and is a number one Democrat; his apostate brother, little John Cessna, could not lead him astray. Long live Joe Cessna, says your correspondent. I pass on to the forks of the Stoys town and Bedford road. Here, Hon. George W. Gump, one of the Demo ; cratic Associate Judges for Bedford, lives, and has his "shuck" shops and his molasses manufactory. He makes a great deal of sorghum molasses and finds its manufacture profitable. Here may be seen a hand-board painted by Judge Black when he was a boy. Near here is thecomfortable residence of that prince of Democrats, John Sill, Esq. I pass through several small places and finally find myself at Bedford, and will for a while bid you adieu." Next we clip from the Indiana Demo* crat , edited by Col. J. B. Sansom, one of the ablest editors and cleverest gentle men in the State. Sansom has been a round this way lately and gives his readers the following spicy account of what he saw in this region : "We shall not attempt a description of Bedford. The town has very pleas ing associations connected with youth ful days, and if we depicted it in glow ing colors our description might possi bly be thought an exaggeration. Suffice it to say that it is one of the handsom est, cleanest, healthy towns in the State, and the "gayest of the gay." The peo ple have of "late years made great im provements in their private residences, and to those blessed with plenty of this world's goods it is all that can be desired as a place of residence. The town is just ly celebrated for its handsome women, and the women for their extravagance in dress and gaiety. The city ladies who go to Bedford to "stun" and take down the natives, generally find them selves mistaken after a brief stay, and are thrown quite in the shade by the superior style displayed by the rosy cheeked fair of the paragon town of Ju niata. Whethe.r the business of the "lords of creation" justifies this extrav agance in dress deponent sayeth not. During the spring season the people of the town seem to enjoy a perpetual holiday, the business men not caring "whether school keeps or not," so that they are not distanced in dress and gaiety by their neighbors. Except to those interested directly or indirectly in catering to the wants and wishes of the visitors, business appears to be dull, but yet there are handsome stores, shops, several good hotels, comfortable churches, enterprising mechanics and every evidence of thrift. The Springs, situate about 1} miles south of the town in a beautiful valley, hemmed in by gigantic hills, is a very wholesome looking place, and although not kept in the style anticipated by some, the improvements keep pace with the patronage bestowed upon them.— Some improvements are doubtless nec essary, but we thought that the fault finders had exaggerated their grievan ces. The place is clean and neat ly kept u >, the roads and walks in good condi tion, the Hotel accommodations exten sive and of a superior style, the bath houses comfortable and inviting, and every convenience necessary for thepro per enjoyment of the visitors. The Springs are managed during the present season by Col. Allen, and several effi cient assistants, and we hear no com plaints among the visitors. The table is all that can be desired, the rooms well furnished and comfortable, and the Superintendentand hisassistants, doev ery thing in their power to gratify the tastes and desires of the guests. Those who are in search of health and enjoy ment certainly can find no more interes ting spot in the United States to spend the summer months, and did our store of.greenbacks justify it we certainly would be there, instead of writingedit orial for acotintry newspaper this warm weather. After a stay of several days at Bed ford and vicinity, (not at the Springs,) we returned without incident or acci dent worth mentioning to our duties here. Among the gentlemen whom we were pleased to meet at th. Springs were our friend Col. Jno. H. Filler, who has re ceived and accepted an appointment in the U. S. army, Lieut. John Keelfe, of California, on a visit to his friends, Hon. Harrison P. Laird, and Dr. John Morrison of Greensburg, Walter Barrett Esq., of Clearfield, Mr. Spangler of York, and others. Among the towns people we were pleased to meet B. F. Meyers, Esq. .the talented editor of the Gazette, < 01. Tate, Capt. Jacob Reed John P. Reed, Esq., Isaac Mengel, the gentlemanly proprietor of the "Mengel House," one of the best kept hotels in the State, and the Democratic candidate for County Treasurer, E. F. Kerr, Esq., the District Attorney of Bedford coun ty and a candidate on the Democrat ic ticket this fall for the same position; J. W. Dickerson, Esq., Capt. Tom Ly ons and a host of others. We will add that visitors to the Springs who wish to economize in their expenses, can get excellent board at the hotels in the town at a moderate price, or at the " Arrandale House," a hand some new hotel just finished on the road to the Springs, or at the "Chalybeate House" abont one mile north-east of Bedford. The latter house is situate at the "Chalybeate Spring," and is a very handsome hotel, admirably kept by Win. Chenoweth. G aA X DMorii K R GRUM nL E .—J/ESSRS. Editors: —"lt takes all kinds of people to make up the world." This remark was made by some eminent philoso pher, but whether it was Plato, or Con fucius, or Des Cartes, or Jean Paul, or somebody else, lam unable to say. Of this, however, I am sure, that if it did not "take all kinds of people to make up the world," there would be no room on thisniundane'sphere for the Grand mother Grumble who writes the "lo cals" for the Bedford Inquirer. Did you ever see such a snappish*, snarling, sniveling, snuffling apolqgy for a man as the fellow (excuse the masculine gender, for Grumble, though a grand mother, is said to beof that persuasion) who gets up those things ? lie reminds one of a teething baby, squalling, squealing, spewing on this person and befouling that, and if he were not a grandmother in pantaloons, people might easily take him to be a cross brat in the pangs of dentition. Now he pitches into the Bedford Springs and muddies with his foulness, the healing waters of our delightful Spa. Private property has no sanctity in his eyes and he threatens to smash things to smith ereens, if people don't regulate their own estates to suit his peculiar notions. The proprietors of the Springs must do as this grandmother Grumble dictates, or the squalls will be intolerable. The water-tax is taken off", and lo! the strut and swagger and pulfed-up air of this self-conceited scribbler. Ilis whole mien (and mean enough he is, to be sure) has written over it, I did it! Now, his great goggle-eyes, those owl optics that can't bear day-light, get a little dirt in them from a passing "hack," and off he darts to indite a "lo cal" about the dust created and high prices charged by the hack-men. Grandmother Grumble is perpetually growling about the hack-men. They refuse to haul Grandmother's carcass to and from the Springs, free of charge; that's what's the matter. The hack men can't do it. They can't afford to make every few fence corners along the road a station, either for the benefit of Grandmother or any other man. So grumble away, Granny, and wail and whine and whimper about "the dust" (but come down with it if you want to ride) and moan and mumble and mutter about their high priced (25 cents a passenger) just as much as you please. The hack-men will be even with you some day, though you may get some boot. Waiting till Grandmother grum bles again, I remain Yours Serenely, QUI? LARGE SALE OF TOWN LOTS.—On Tuesday last, S. L. Russell, Esq., Ad ministrator,.with the Will annexed, of the estate of Eliza Watson, deceased, exposed at public sale a portion of the old Watson farm adjoining the bor ough of Bedford on the South. The land was sold in the shape of tpwn lots, which caused quite a rush of bidders. The lots were, nearly all, sold to per sons who intend building upon them, and who have heretofore occupied, and now reside in, tenant houses in this place. The sales amounted, we are told, to $34,000. We are glad to note these signs of a new growth for our town, and doubt not that in a year from this time, John street will cease to be the Southern boundary of Bedford at the East, as it has already ceased to be at the West, end of town. So mote it be. A SEASONABLE RECIPE. —As the blackberry season is at hand, we give place to the following from the Ger mantown Telegraph for the information of our readers: There is no wine equal to the black berry when properly made, either in flavor or for medicinal purposes, and all persons who can conveniently do so, should manufacture enough for their own use every year, as it is invaluable in sickness a3 a tonic, and nothing is a better remedy for bowel diseases. We, therefore, give the receipt for making it, and having tried it ourselves, we speak advisedly on the subject: "Meas ure your berries and bruise them ; to every gal lou adding one quart of boil ing water. Let the mixtures stand twenty-four hours, stirring occasional ly ; then strain off the liquor into a cask, to every gallon adding two pounds of sugar; cork tight, and let it stand till the following October, and you will have wine ready for use, without furth er straining or boiling. This makes a most excelleut and palatable wine." NOTICE. —I take this method of in forming my friends and customers, that I have this day sold to Rev. 11. Heckerman & Son my Drugstore. All those indebted to me will please settle immediately, as I design leaving Bed ford in a few weeks. Recommending my successors to all my patrons and customers, and returning thanks for the patrouage extended to me, lam respectfully, J. L. LEWIS. Bedford, Pa., July 18 1867.—w2. CEMETERY LOTS.—The Directors of the Bedford Cemetery Association will offer for sale, a large number of Lots, at the Cemetery, on Friday, the second day of August. All lots not sold at that time will be advanced twenty-five per cent in price. THE NURSERY, for August, has been received, and is a gem for the little ones, and they are so glad to receive it. The present number is full of enter taining and interesting, matter for young children. The pictures cannot fail to interest them. Every head of a family should see that this excellent little monthly should get into the home of children. Subscription price only $1.50 a year in advance. Address John L. Shorey, 13 Washington street, Bos ton, Mass. SUMMER FASHIONS. —We notice that the latest style of street dresses is made soas to only just clear the ground. We learn, with pleasure, that ladies' bonnets are to be worn much larger. For sum mer, they will be trimmed with long wreaths of flowers, which fall on either side, and are tied with narrow ribbon, having a loose ribbon, of black or white lace over them. Parasols are trimmed with feather trimming of all colors pretty, but very frail. ACCIDENT.— On Tuesday last, as Mr. William McMullen, of this place, was engaged in cleaning a gun in his store, the piece, (which was supposed by Mr. McMullen to be without a load,) was accidently discharged, and the contents lodged in the ankle of C. McD. Bowen, who was entering the store at the time. It is thought that Mr. Bowen is not seriously injured. CURE FOR FELONS.—Within the past week, we have met with several friends who are tormented with those troublesome things, known as felons. The following recipe, is said to be a sure cure: "As soon as the parts begin to swell, get the tincture of lobelia and wrap the part atfected with a cloth sat urated thorougly with the tincture, and the felon is dead." An old physician says he has known it to be tried in a score of cases, and it never fails if ap plied in season. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. —Col. John H. Filler, who was recently appointed to a Lieutenancy in the regular army, has been given leave of absence until Dec. 1, 1867, by order of Gen. Grant. Col. Filler's appointment has been confirm ed by the Senate. We congratualate the Colonel on the length of his fur lough. Lucky fellow. BLAIII COUNTY.— We had the pleas ure of a call, a few days ago, from our friend Col. J. C. Everhart, of Martins burg, Blair county.
