CARRIER'S GREETING to the patrons
of the BEDFORD GAZETTE, January 1,
1808:
Farewell, Old Year!
Thy race is run ;
We'll shed no tear
Upon thy bier,
But look with cheer
To that New Year
Whose days are just begun.
Farewell, Old Year !
Farewell, the things
Brought forth within
This twelve-month time ;
Farewell, the din,
The strife and sin,
The wrong and crime,
Dropp'd from the wings
Of the dragon dread,
That on the breast
Of the giant Past,
Now lies dead.
Farewell, the deeds
That stain with shame,
Sad Hist'ry's page!
The true heart bleeds
To blot their blame
From title-deeds
To Christian fame,
Of this dark Age!
Farewell, the wrong
That makes the weak
Slaves to the strong;
That seeks to wreak
Vengeance and woe
On a fall'n foe:
Whether beyond
Atlantic's wave,
In Porte Sublime,
It shames the time
With Cretan slave,
Or Albion blonde
Stains with the blood
Of the brotherhood
That, brave and good,
Would Ireland save;
Or, whether here,
In this dear land,
Whose polity,
Democracy,
Stands strong and clear,
The workmanship
Of God's own hand ;
Whose glorious fame,
With hallow'd flame,
Inspires the lip
Of those who speak
In Freedom's name;
Ay, whether here
The victor North
Stamps his red foot
His pow'r to put
In vengeance forth ;
Still, even here,
Farewell, the Wrong
That makes the weak
Slaves to the strong.
Welcome, New Year!
Time's latest born!
Hail, thou bright morn,
Thou child of Hope!
Thou that must cope
With Error Cyclopean,
With Falsehood Briarean,
If thou wouldst clear
The stalls Augean.
All hail,
Thou child of Hope!
Thou wilt not fail!
Welcome, New Year!
Welcome, the things
That make for peace,
For brotherhood
And ev'ry good
That virtue brings.
Welcome, the Truth,
Welcome, the Right!
Oh! Year, make tight,
In thy strong youth,
For Right and Truth.
Sweep from thy path
The legions of Error,
As the Cyclone's wrath
Whelms the isle,
And strike with terror,
The sons of Guile.
Welcome, Oh! Land,
ltedeem'd, restor'd!
Welcome, the Laws
That shall give pause
To rule of sword.
Too long the brand
Of civil slaves,
Has been impress'd
Upon the breast
Of Freedom's sons,
By fools and knaves.
'Welcome, the Cause
That blood-shed shuns,
And without guns,
Or swords, or staves,
The country saves.
Welcome, the time
When bells shall chime,
And trumpets sound,
In tones of glee,
The jubilee
That ushers in
The Nation free
From Tyranny ;
When that sleuth-hound,
Taxation, dies
Amid the din
Of joyful cries
That shall uprise
From those who bled
At his deep wound ;
When, stark and dead,
The monster lies
Who'd make our land
A Paradise
Of Fraud and Knavery,
Black freedom and
White slavery.
Welcome, New Year!
And mayst thou bring
No single thing
To cause a tear
To those who sing,
With me, thy birth ;
But may thy praise
In anthems ring
O'er all the earth.
THE CARRIER.
MORE FAT HOGS.— Mr. J. J. Shoe
maker of the Bedford Hotel, recently
slaughtered Ave little pigs, aged fifteen
months and six days, which weighed
2,093 pounds, clean meat. The heavi
est one weighed 484 pounds. These are
the largest hogs of the same size and
the heaviest hogs of the same weight
and at the same time the youngest hogs
of the same age, that we have heard of
for some time. Here is food for speck -
ulation ! Somerset Democrat , take no
tice !
CHRISTMAS.— The anniversary of the
birth of the blessed Saviour, was duly
and properly observed in our ancient
borough. Business was entirely sus
pended. Service was held in a num
ber of the Churches. The German Re
formed Church was beautifully decora
ted ; a Christmas tr*e for the delectation
of the children of the Sabbath School,
ornamented the Church; and hand
some presents were given to the Sab
bath School. The Episcopal Sabbath
School had a celebration which did
great credit to the children and to the
superintendent. The Court Room (the
temporary place of worship of the E
piscopal Church) was festooned with
evergreens and very prettily decorated.
A very handsome Christmas tree, glit
tering with gifts for the children, was
a notable feature. Rev. Mr. Hill de
livered an interesting address to the
children.—Santa Claus had evidently
been about, during the previous night,
for the street was tilled with joyous
youngsters, flourishing sticks of candy
in one hand and a tin trumpet, or a toy
horse, in the other. Traces of Pelsnick
el, too, were discoverable, pieces of a
torn mask lying here and there, and,
now and then, a lazy boy, with the
lamp-black of the night before not all
washed out of his eyebrows, making
his appearance. And thus passed
Christmas ; may it have been a merry
one to all our readers, and may they
live to see many happy returns of the
same blessed anniversary.
ST. JOHN'S DAY.—MASONIC SUPPER
AT THE BEDFORD HOTEL. —St. John's
night, 27th inst., was made the occasion
of an elegant entertainment, given by
the members of Lodge No. 320. A. Y.
VI., at the Bedford Hotel. Mine host
Shoemaker, and his excellent lady, had
prepared a table which literally groan
ed under the weight of "good things."
At nine o'clock, P. M., the table was
suriounded by the assembled guests,
B. F. Meyers, acting W. M., presiding.
The blessing of God was invoked by
Rev. A. V. C. Schenck, after which
was sung the beautiful hymn, begin
ning, "Come, Brothers." The guests
then turned their attention to the dis
cussion of the inviting dishes before
them, to which they did ample justice.
After the cloth was cleared away, toasts
were gi% r en and responded to as fol
lows :
"Ancient Freemasonry." Respond
ed to by Rev. A. V. C. Schenck.
"The Grand Lodgeof Pennsylvania."
In silence and standing.
"Our Worshipful Master." Respon
ded to by I)r. C. N. Hickok.
"Our Senior Warden." Responded
to by R. W. Berkstresser.
"Our Junior Warden." Responded
to by T. R. Gettys.
"Our Treasurer." Responded to by
Mr. J. C. Long.
"Our Secretary." Responded to by
Mr. Jacob Reed.
"Our Tyler." Responded to by Mr.
J. E. Black.
"Our Host and Hostess." Respond
ed to by Mr. Isaac Mengel.
The closing hymn, "Auld Lang
Syne," was then sung by the entire as
sembly, after which the guests disper
sed, delighted with the evening's en
tertainment.
DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED DI
VINE.—REV. H. HARBAUGH, D. D.,
well known in religious and literary
circles, died at his home in Mercers
burg, on Saturday last, 28th ult. Dr.
Harbaugh was the author of numerous
religious works, and for years the edi
tor of "The Guardian," a literary-reli
gious magazine of much merit, in
which he gave the Pennsylvania Dutch
dialect a place in American Literature.
" 'S Alt Schul-haus an der Krick," and
other poems of a similar character,
will live as long as the patois of Berks
and Lancaster, lingers upon the tongues
of Pennsylvanians. At the time of his
death, Dr. Harbaugh was a professor
in the Reformed Theological Seminary
at Mercersburg. His untimely death
will be greatly regretted.
WEEK OF PRAYER.— The "Week
of Prayer" will be observed in this
place, as follows: To commence on
Monday evening, Jan. 6th, in the Court
House; Tuesday evening following
in the German Reformed Church;
Wednesday evening in the Presbyterian
Church; Thursday evening in the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and Fri
day evening in the Lutheran Chuch.
The public is earnestly invited to at
tend these services.
OBITUARY NOTICES.— We desire to
call the attention of clergymen, and
others to our terms for the publica
tion of lengthy obituary notices. The
mere announcement of deaths, inclu
ding age, and place and time of demise,
we publish gratis. But when verses of
poetry, or a disquisition on the virtues
of the deceased, are added, we charge
ten cents a line.

FACTS.
That we have unequalled facilities for conduct
ing business to the advantage both of ourselves
and patrons, we submit the following TRUTHS—
weII known as such to the entire business commu
nity.
Ist. We have abundant cask capital, therefore —
2d. We are enabled to Buy fur Cash exclusive
ly, consequently at the lowest possible prices,
with the markets of the entire world to select
from.
3d. In this partieular WE HAVE ADVANTAGES
shared by no other house in our business.
4th. We sell for cash exclusively—therefore at
the lowest possible prices—having no losses
incurred by selling on credit, to provide for.
sth. We have a business experience of a quarter
of a century, having been longer established
than any house in our trade in Philadelphia.
6th. Our business is thoroughly systematized, the
result of long experience, which has taught
us what the wants of the public aro, and how
best to meet them.
7th. We employ the best talent in all departments,
our garments are therefore unsurpassed in
style, fit and workmanship.
Bth. Our business is large and constantly, increas
ing, enabling us to keep at all times the lar
gest, best assorted, and most complete stock
of MEN'S, YOUTHS', and BOYS' CLOTH
ING in Philadelphia, to which large daily
additions are made of fresh goods, replacing
those sold.
9th. For reasons already enumerated wo can, and
do sell clothing in every respect superior—
surpassed by none, equulled by few—at pri
ces guaranteed in all cases lower than the
the lowest elsewhere, or the sale cancelled and
money refunded.
10th. If buyers should for any cause become dissat
isfied after a purchase is made, if reported
within a reasonable time,we pledge ourselves,
by exchange, refunding of money, or other
wise, to give full satisfaction in every case,
and request that all such may be reported to us
for adjustment.
CARD. —Our stock of Fall and Winter Clothing
is full and complete, and selling rapidly, but is as
rapidly replenished each day with fresh and desi
rable styles of new goods, purchased recently, for
cash, at great sacrifices, enabling us to sell at pri
ces lower than have been known for years. Con
gratulating our patrons upon the decline of prices,
which enables us to offer superior garments at such
low rates , we request the favor of a call.

"y 9~y MILES OF THE
UNIONT PAnrprr; RAILROAD
RUNNING WEST FROk &MAHA
ACROSS THE CONTINENT,
ARE NOW COMPLETED.
This brings the line to the eastern base of the
Rocky Mountains, and it is expected that the track
will be laid thirty miles further, to Evans' Pass,
the highest point on the road, by January. The
maximum grade from the foot of the mountains to
the summit is but eighty feet to the mile, while
that of many eastern roads is over one hundied.
"Work in the rock-cuttings on the western slope
will continue through the winter, and th ere is now
110 reason to doubt that the entire grand line to
the Pacific will be open for business in 1870.
The means provided for the construction of this
Great National Work are ample. The United
States grants its Six Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of
from $16,000 to $48,000 per mile, for which it takes
a second lien as security, and receives payment to
a large if not to the full extent of itsclaim in serv
ices. These Bonds are issued as each twenty
mile section is finished, and after it has been ex
amined by United States Commissioners and pro
nounced to be in all respects a first-class road,
thoroughly supplied with depots, repair-shops,
stations, and all necessary rolling stock and other
equipments.
The United States also makes a donation of 12,-
800 acres of laud to the mile, which will be a
source of large revenue to the Company Much
of this land in the Platte Valley is among the most
fertile in the world, and other large portions are
covered with heavy pine forests and abouna in
coal of the best quality.
The Company is also authorized to issue its own
First Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the
issue of the Government and no more. Hon. E.
D. Morgan and Hon. Oakes Ames are Trustees for
the Bondholders, and deliver the Bonds to the
Company only as the work progresses, so tbat
they always represent an actual and productive
value.
The authorized capital of the Company is One
Hundred Million Dollars, of which over five mil
lions have been paid in upon the work already
dune.
EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY.
At present, the profits of the Company are de
rived only from its local traffic, but this is already
much more than sufficient to pay the interest on
all the Bonds the Company can issue, if not an
other mile were built. It is not doubted that
when the road is completed the through traffic of
the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
States will be large beyond precedent, and, as
there will be no competition, it can always be done
at profitable rates.
It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Rail
road is, in fact, a Government Work, built under
the supervision of Government officers, and to a
large extent with Government money, and that its
bonds are issued under Government direction. It
is believed that no similar security is so carefully
guarded, and certainly no other is based upon a
larger or more valuable property. As the Compa
ny's
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
are offered for the present at 90 CENTS ON THE
DOLLAR, they are the cheapest security in the
market, being more than 15 per cent, lower than
U. S. Stocks. They pay
SIX PER CENT. IN GOLD,
or over NINE FER CENT, upon tho investment.
Subscriptions will be received in Bedford by
