THE BEDFORD COUNTY POOR
HOUSE.—THE GRAND JURY DECLARE
IT A NUISANCE.—At the late term of
Court, the Grand Jury made their cus
tomary visit to the Poor House, and
after examining that institution, they
reported it to the Court as a public nui
sance. That is, they declared the build
ing in which the paupers are lodged,
to be unfit for the purpose for which it
is used. Of course, the Grand Jury in
tended no reflection upon the manage
ment of the Poor House, for it is ad
mitted by all parties that no complaint
can be justly made in reference to that.
But the building itself is properly char
acterized as a "nuisance." Years ago
we urged the propriety of selling the
present Poor House property and pur
chasing a farm of moderate size, where
upon a new and commodious building
might be erected. We still think that
such a course would be wise. 11 is true
that the construction of a new Poor
House would entail considerable ex
pense upon the county; but we can bet
ter afford to pay a little additional tax,
than to bear the shame of failing to
make proper provision for the shelter
and maintenance of our unfortunate
poor. We estimate that the cost of a
suitable Poor Housebuilding, distribu
ted equally among the taxables of the
county, would be about $3 to each tax
payer. Who would not be willing to
contribute his share of a fund to be de
voted to so humane and praise-worthy
a purpose?
Formerly there were grave doubts as
to whether the County authorities pos
sessed the power to sell the Poor House
property, or to erect a new building.
It seemed beyond dispute that the Poor
Directors possessed no such power.
Hence efforts were made to induce the
Legislature to pass a law conferring
such power upon the Poor Directors.
But for reasons best known to those
who procured thedefeatof those efforts,
no such law was passed. In 1800, how
ever, a general law,* conferring upon
the County Commissioners the power
to buy and sell lands, and erect build
ings, for the use of the Poor, was en
acted. This law is as follows:
SECTION 1. Be it enacted, &c., That
in all eases where a poor house, or
houses, have been, or shall hereafter be
erected, in any county or counties, un
der any law of this Commonwealth,
and the said buildings are found insuf
ficient for the purpose of comfortably
sheltering and maintaining the poor,
sick, or insane, of the proper county, it
shall po lawful for the county commis
sioners to erect new, or additional,
buildings, for such purposes, or for
hospitals, to prevent the spread of infec
tious diseases among those sent to such
institutions: Provided, That before
erecting any such new, or additional,
buildings, theconstruction thereofshall
be recommended by the directors of the
poor, a grand jury, and the court of
quarter sessions of the proper county.
S :UTION2. Where the land connect
ed with any poor house, within the
State, shall be deemed insufficient for
the comfortable and profitable main
tenance and occupation of the poor, or |
where the land connected therewith
shall be found to be useless, unneces
sary, or unprofitable, it shall be lawful, i
in the first-named instance, for the
county commissioners, on the recom
mendation of the directors of the poor, |
a grand jury, and the court of quarter
sessions of the proper county, to pur- i
chase such additional quantity of land, j
not exceeding two hundred acres, and
to take a deed, or deeds therefor, in the
name of the county, as shall be thought
necessary, and in the second-named in
stance, on like recommendation, to sell,
at public sale, after due notice, such
parts of the land held, as shall be
thought unnecessary and unprofitable
to be held, and execute a deed, or deeds,
therefor, to the purchaser.
This is a carefully guarded law, and
in our opinion, in every respect a good
one. Whilst it gives the commission
ers the power to buy and sell Poor
house lands and to construct Poor house
buildings, it permits them to exercise
that power only after the Directors of
the Pcxir, a Grand Jury and the Court
of Quarter Sessions shall have recom
mended them to buy, sell or build.—
This safe-guard is eminently proper.
Now, the Grand Jury have declared
the present Poor House building a
nuisance. We understand the Court
of Quarter Sessions hold the same o
pinion. That the board of Poor Direc
tors will coincide in that view, there
can be no doubt. Hence it is reason
übly certain that a new Poor House
building will beereoted. The question
now arises, shall it be placed upon the
present Poor House lands, or shall those
lands be sold and others purchased up
on which to erect the new building?
For our part, we think it would be of
advantage to the county, as well as to
the poor, if the present Poor House
property be sold and the new building
erected upon a good farm of about one
hundred acres, not too near to, nor too
far from, the county seat. But, what
ever action is to be taken in regard to
this matter, should be taken at once.
Let there be no delay.

DIED.
M ANN—On the 18th inst.. Mrs. Surah, relict of
David Mann, in the 80th year of her age. Mrs
Mann was one of the excel lent of the earth. She
was one of the most humble and confiding Chris
tians. In Bedford, where she lived for many
years, she deservedly enjoyed the highest esteem ;
of a very large circle of acquaintance. In her
death, the Reformed Church, to which she be
longed, has lost an highly esteemed member, and
its pastor, a sincere friend. Her last sickness was 1
protracted and sometimes with tnucb suffering, but
she bore it all with that perfect resignation to the j
will of God which only the true Christian can do.
Tnose who mourn her departure, will find much
comfort in the recollection of hermany virtues and 1
in her meek exerciseof all the Chirstian graces.
She now rests in peace as to her body and in hap
piness as to her soul.

MEDICAL.— DR. A. S. SMITH,
having resumed the Practice of Medicine,
solicit? a generous share of the patronage of the
community Office in his residence, t't St Clairs
ville.
He would call the attention of the public, and to
those more immediately interested to the follow
ing : His health being too delicate to bear much
of the flftigues and exposures consequent on gen
eral practice, he has adopted a speciality in the
profession.
Soon after commencing practice, some twenty
years since, lie was attracted by the almost uni
versality of female complaints, both in the mar
ried and single state. Partly from natural incli
nation, and in order to obtain success in practice,
these complaints were made the subjeet of incess
ant study. These alterations, displacements and
deranged functions of the organs peculiar to the
female, are owing 10 that refined sense of delicacy
on the part of the female, who, ignorant ol the
consequences, prefers to suffer 111 silence rather
than expose her situation. Seldom cured by the
general practitioner, who is prevented by this
delicacy from acquiring by experience that tact
and skill necessary to discriminate the exact
change present, and contents himself with pre
scribing for the deranged functions, or overlooking
the cause, simply for attendant nervous disorders,
founding his prescriptions on a Plethoric Anactnon
ic state of the general system and the result is no
benefit, as the number of the long suffering fe
males bears ample testimony. Believing that be
has. from long and special attention paid to them,
acquired that skill iu discriminating and experi
ence in treating, he solicits the suffering to give
him a call. No charges for consuliatio. or exam
ination. Visits made to all parts of the county.
Applications for medicines can be made in wri

UNI OX PACIFIC RAILROAD,
Running I Vest From Omaha
ACROSS TITi: CONTINENT,
ARE NOW COMPLETED.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company have
built a longer lino of rail run 1 in the last eighteen
months than was ever built by any other compa
ny in the same time, tfnd they will continue the
work with the same energy until it is completed.
The rt estern Division is being pushed rapidiy
eastward from Sacramento by the Central Pacific
Company of California, and it is ex pee tod that
THE ENTIRE GRAND LINE
to the Pacific will bo open for business in li>7o.
Aline than one-third of the work has already been
dour, more than one-third oj the wholelute t now
in r mini use ortlt r. and more laborers are now em
nloi/ed upon it than ever before. More than
FORTY MILLION DOLLARS IN MONEY
have already been expended by the two power
ful companies that have undertaken the enter
piise. and there is no lack of funds for its inns'
vigorous prosecution. Wher. the United St tcs
Government found it necessary to secure tne con
struction of the I nion Pacific Railroad, to develop
and protect its own interests, it gave the Compa
nies authorized to build it such ample aid as
should render its speedy completion beyond a
doubt. The available'means of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, derived from the Government
and its own stockholders, may be briefly summed
up as follow. :
I.—UNITED STATES BONDS
Having thirty years to run and bearing six per
cent, currency interest at the rate of SIO,OOO per
mile fr 517 mples"a the Plains; then at the rate
of SIS 000 per mile for 150 miles through the
Rooky Mountains; thence at the rate of §32,000
per mile for the remaining distance, for which the
United States takes a second lien as security The
interest on these bonds is paid by the United
States government, which also pays the company
one-half the amount of its bills rn money for trans
porting its freight, troops, mails, Ac. The re
maining half of these bills is placed to the com
pany's credit, and forms a sinking fund which
may finally discharge tho whole amount of tins
lien. The claims against the government since
April of thecurrent year amount to tour and one
half times this interest.
2.—FIUST MORTGAGE BONDS.
By its charter the Company is permitted to is
sue its own First. Mortgage Bonds to the same
amount as the bonds is-ued by the government,
and no more, andonli/ as the road progresses . Ttie
Trustees for the h uidnold-rs are the lion. E. D.
Morgan. U. S. Senator from New York, and the
Hon Oakes Ames. Member ot the U. S. House of
Representatives, who are responsible lor the de
livery of these bends to the Company in strict ae
ccrdance with the terms of tho law.
3.—THE LAND GRANT.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company has a
land grantor absolute donation from the govern
ment of 12.800 acres to the mile on the line of the
road, which will not be worth less than SI-OJ per
acre at the lowest valuation.
4.—THE CAPITAL STOCK.
The authorized capital of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company is $100,000,000, ot which over
§.i,000,000.000 have been paid on the work already
done.
THE MEANS SUFFICIENT TO BUILD THE
ROAD
Contracts for the entire work of the building
914 miles of first-class railroad west from Omaha,
con prising much of the most difficult mountain
work, and embracing every expenses except sur
veying, have been made with responsible par
ties (who have already finished over 500 miles),
at the average rate of sixty-eight thousand and
fifty-eight dollars v $88,068) per mile. This price
includes ail neee-sary shops for construction and
repairs of cars, depots, stations and all other in
cidental buildings, and also locomotives, passen
ger. baggage, and freight cars, and other requisite
rolling stock, to an amount tha shall not be less
than 85,000 per mile. Allowing the cost of the
remaiuiug <>uo hundred ~ighry-?ix of the
eleven hundred miles assumed to be built by the
Pacific Company to be $90,000 per mile.
THE TOTAL COST OF ELEVEN HUNDRED
MILES WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:
914 miles, at $83.0 <8 $>2,205,012
188 miles at $90.000 16.740.000
Add discounts on bonds, surveys, Ac... .4.600.000
Amount $-3,415,012
As the U. S. Bonds are equal to money, and the
Company's own First Mortgage Bonds have a
ready market, we have as the
AVAILABLE CASH RESOURCES FOR
BUILDING ELEVEN HUNDRED MILES:
U. S Bonds $29,328,000
First Mortgage Bonds 29,328,000
Capital stock paid in on the work now
done 5,369 750
Land Grant, 14.080,000 acres, at $1.50
per acre 21,120.000
Total $85,145,750
The company have ample facilities for supply
ing any deficiency that may arise in means for
construction. This may be done wholly or in
part bv additional subscriptions to capital stock.
Active inquiry has already been made for a
portion of these lands, and arrangements are now
pmposed to offer a part of them f>r sale. While
their whole v due will not be available for some
years to come, they will remain a very important
source of revenue "to the Company. The lands of
the Illinois Central Railroad Company are sel
ling at from $3 lo SI 2 per acre, and other land
grant companies in the West are receiving equal
prices for similar properties.
FUTURE BUSINESS.
The most skeptical have never expressed a
doubt iliat when the Uuiou Pacific Railroad is
: ished the iuini'-use busines- that must flow over
. . as the only railroad connecting the two grand
Uivisiwns of th North American continent, will
be one ot the wonders of railway transportation ,
and as it will have no coinpc itor it can always
charge renuiuerated rates.
