MEETING OF COUNTY AUDITORS.
—On Monday last, the County Audit
ors met for the purpose of auditing and
settling the accounts of the County
Treasurer and Treasurer of the Poor
House, for the fiscal year which luts
just closed. We hope that a full and
complete statement of tiie receipts, and
expenditures, properly itemized, will
he furnished for publication. This,
we are glad to say, lias generally been
done with respect to the accounts of the
County Treasurer, but has not a/wags
been done with respect to the affairs of
the Poor House. Sometimes the Audit
ors, or Directors, have been seized with
a sudden spasm of "retrenchment,"
and in order to save a few dollars'
worth of advertising, have so curtailed
their report that but little satisfaction
could be gleaned from it. Wo say, don't
be so much afraid of printers'ink!—
Make your report full and thorough,
and if any thing has gone wrong, the
twenty-five hundred readers of the
county papers will, in all probability,
detect it, and then it can be righted in
time, instead of resting uncorrected for
years and years. The niggardly spirit
that stops to count the expense of pub
lishing a full report, whilst it "saves
at the spigot, is sure to spill at the
bung."
SLIPPERY. —Don't be alarmed, you
nice fellows that cheat the printer ; you
are "slippery," but we have no refer
ence to you. We mean the sidewalks,
streets, door-steps and terra firma gen
ally. Such sliding of the sled-owning
boys, such coasting of the fun-lov
ing girls, such twisting, stamping,
pirouetting, upsetting, down-falling,
shin-scraping, head-breaking, of the
stiff-jointed elderly ones, we don't recol
lect having seen for some time. We
look out of our window and—don't en
joy it quite as much as we used to"some
twenty years ago." Still, fun is fun
ny, and so we laugh with the youngs
ters in their joyous sport and forget the
faithful old pine board that used to car
ry us down the grand old hill near the
school-house in which we tasted the
Pierian spring and birch-bark. Boys
and girls appear to be fond of that branch
of astronomy, in which they arc brought
to a vivid perception of the Aurora Bor
ealis, interspersed with about a million
of stars, through the operation of bring
ing their head in sudden contact with
the earth. If in the pursuit of their
studies in school, they were compelled
to take such lessons, the former would
go into rebellion and the latter
into hysterics Such is the porver.se
ness of human nature, even from the
cradle to the grave. But, we re
peat, fun is funny, and study is any
thing else. So, have your sport, chil
dren, and after play, go to school and
work with greater zest, on account of
your pleasant recreation.
LUTHERAN SABBATH SCHOOL. —We
should have been happy to have no
ticed the celebration of the anniversary
of the Lutheran Sabbath School, of
this place, held on the evening of Sun
day, 22d ult., had some one connected
with the school supplied us with par
ticulars. No report, however, was
made to us, by any one, and we, there
fore, did not know that any thing of
the sort had transpired. We are in
debted to the Inquirer for the follow
ing account:
TIIE Anniversary of the Lutheran
Sunday School, which was held on the
evening of Sunday, 22d ult., exhibited
some gratifying'features. The exer
cises consisted of appropriate addresses
by Messrs. 11. W. Fisher, W.C. Sehaef
fcrandJ. M. Reynolds, the reading
of the report for the year and the distri
bution of rewards to the scholars. The
lirst and best of these was given to
Henry Lippel, who had committed,
during the year, the extraordinary,
number of eleven thousand four hun
dred and seventy-one scripture verses,
and the next to William Arnold, who
had committed nine thousand two
hundred and twenty-six. There were
in all thirty seven prizes given, to as
maiiy deserving scholars. In all 45,144
verses were committed by the school.
The Secretary's report exhibited a
high degree of prosperity in the school
The money raised during the year, by
the school, amounted to $519,37. The
whole number of scholars in attendance
was about 190 and the average 100. A
fine Teacher's Library was purchased
during the past year, and the libraries
of the school combined now number
nearly seven hundred volumes. The
prosperity of the school is doubtless
due in great part to the efficiency of
its officers and teachers who deserve
great credit for the faithfulness and
regularity of their attendance. The
Secretary, 11. Nicoderaus, Esq., has
been connected with the school for fif
teen years, during which time lie has
rarely been absent from its sessions.
+
PATHETIC.— We heard a half-bare
footed urchin, who wears out a pair of
shoes per week, singing the following
pathetic ditty, the other day :
Oh. father, dear father, do please hurry home,
My confidence no more nbuse.
You've promised again and again when you came,
You would bring me a new pair of shoes,
My big toe sticks out like the head of a clam
And you of neglect doth accuse,
Because you have failed to do as you said,
And bring home my new pair of shoes.
It is not very oft that a favor I ask,
And this you cannot refuse,
For you know that it costs but a very small sum.
To purehase a new pair of shoes,
Then hurry, dear father, do, pray, hurry home,
No more of your precious time lose,
Oh, think of the cold, of your child and his toes,
And, pray, hurry home with the snoes.
Now, if that delinquent "parient"
wants to shut down on that song and
shut up on the toes of his pleading
child, let hiin call at Irvine andStat
ler's and get him a pair of those ever
lasting shoes which they sell so low
for cash, or produce.
A GALA DAY IN BLOODY RUN.—
New Year's Day, 1868, must long re
main a bright page in the history of
Bloody Run. Our people from child
to grand-ma, at an early hour, were re
galed in holiday attire (save your
humble Servant;) and every tiling
seemed in perfect readiness for the
grand ovation to our worthy fellow
citizens, the Odd Fellows. By their
untiring efforts they had furnished
themselves with a very commodious
and most beautiful Wall, and now,
were in wating to have it dedicated,
and receive the merited encomiums of
their neighboring brethren. Landlords
wore the most inviting looks, and
seemed to be mentally speculating over
the probable contents of their bill, to
be received, of course, only for the
turkey and chickens that might have
been seen about the premises a day
previous. Indeed all were in the best
possible humor, and anticipated en
joyment filled not a few with ecstatic
delight.
The unexpected sound of a trumpet,
above the fearful din of innumerable
bells, for a moment arrested the tide of
exquisite enjoyment, and announced
the advent of the first delegation of the
Brotherhood. Mounted, and in mar
tial array, they paraded the streets, un
til Young America assaulted them with
snow balls. The Bedford delegation,
with colors flying and brass band, cre
ated quite a sensation, and at once be
came the center of attraction at the
Grove Hotel. Representatives along
the B. T. R. R. formed in procession
at the depot, and marched to the soul
stirring music of the Huntingdon Cor
net Band. We may mistake the name
of their organization, but we shall nev
er mistake their music, or their fine ap
pearance, and we give the sentiment of
the people when we say they shall al
ways have a hearty welcome with us.
The procession then moved and pro
ceeded to the M. E. Church, where Dr.
C. N. Hiekok, of Bedford, entertained
the densely crowded audience for an
hour. At seven p. in. the dedicatory
services, which beautifully represented
the principles of the order, were com
menced, I). 1). G. M. lliekok and other
representatives of the Grand Lodge offi
ciating. The Hall was then given in
charge of Noble Grand Win. Masters.
To conclude, all were elated and joy
ful and no wonder, for we can now boast
of the finest hall in the county. J. C.
[ We are sorry that we were compelled
to abridge our friend .J. C'.'s communica
tion, as it came to hand just as we were
ready to go to press].— ED.
INTERNAL REVENUE DECISIONS.—
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has rendered the following decisions :
A mortgage securing $lOO or less is
not subject to stamp duty ; but the lia
bility of the bond or note, which is ev
idence of the amount secured, is the
same as though there were no mort
gage. The necessary stamp may, how
ever, be affixed either to the bond or
the mortgage. Section 160.
Internal Revenue taxes do not be
come a lien on the real estate of the
tax-payer until they are due, and when
they do become a lien, such lien does
not take priority of pre-existing liens.
Attaching personal property, owned
by a person who owes an Internal
Revenue tax, does not affect the lien of
the Government for the tax, if the
same was due when the attachment
was served.
Orn FRIEND, J. Harry Hutton, says
that lie still retains his old base of oper
ations at 221 Market street, Philadel
phia. The firm is now A. A. Shum
way & co., where he can still be found
ready to serve his friends with desira
ble Hoots and Shoes and will be glad
to have his old friends and a great
many new ones call for their spring
goods. We have the pleasure of know
ing little Asa Shumway and can
recommend him as a capital little fel
low who knows how to beep a Shoe
Store, and would advise those of our
friends who have not been in to give
the place a call—22l Market street.
NEW STOCK OF BOOKS.—A large as
sortment of standard books, has just
been received by our friend, Lieut.
Keeffe, at his store on Julianna St.
Among them we notice Froissarfs
Chronicle#, Crabbers Synonyms, Cole
ridge's Works, Ranim's Works, <£•., all
handsomely printed and bound. These
books were bought, at auction, and will
be sold lower than they can be bought at
retail in Philadelphia. Call and examine
them.
POWERS OP COURTS.— By the act of
assembly of March 26, 1867, the courts
of common pleas have power to incor
porate companies for insuring live
stock from loss by death or being sto
len, and also to grant charters to water
and hook and ladder companies, build
ing associations, teacher's institutes,
hotel companies, skating park associa
tions, clubs for the advancement of ath
letic sports, and fire insurance compan
ies.
SKATERS are, by a recent Yankee in
vention, to he made comfortable. A
"warm skate" has been invented. In a
slot in the skate-stock is inserted a
square bit of soapstone, made red-hot
in the fire. It retains warmth for
some hours, and keeps the skater's
foot in a comfortable condition —a sort
of portable stove, which is handy and
effective.
CONCERNING how long Christmas
greens should be allowed to remain
up, we quote the following from among
a lot ofancient superstitions: "If every
remnant of Christmas decoration is not
cleared out of church before Candle
mas day, (the purification, February
2d,) there will be death that year in
the family occupying the pew where a
leaf or berry is left." The above, we
believe, applies also to private houses.

V)% MILES OF THE
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD
UYRUIINU WEST FHOM OMAHA
ACROSS THE CONTINENT,
ARE NOW COMPLETED.
This brings the line to the eastern base of the
Kooky 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 hundred.
Work in the rock-cuttings on the western slope
will continue through the winter, and there is now
no 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 $43,000 per mile, for which it takes
a second lien as security, and receives payment to
a large if not to the full extent of its claim in serv
ices. These Bonds arc issued as each twenty
mile section is finished, and after it has been ex
amined by United Statc3 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 largo revenue to the Company Much
of this land in the Platte Valley is among the most
fertile in the world, and other large portions arc
covered with heavy pine forests and abound 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 that
they always represent an actual and productive
value.
The authorized capital of the Company is One
Hundred Million Dollars, of which over five inil
liorfs have been paid in upon the work already
done.
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 SINE PER CENT, upon the investment.
Subscriptions will be received in Bedford by
RUPP A SHANNON, and in New York at the
Company's Office, No. 20 Nassau street, and by
CONTINENTAL NATIONAL BANK, No. 7 Nas
sau St., CLARK, DODGE A CO., Bankers, No. 51,

ces should be made in drafts or other funds par in

charge by return express. Parties subscribing
through local agents, will look to them tor their
safe delivery.
