A GLORIOUS UCSIIH! The election in this place, on Friday la-d, resulted in the overwhelming suc cess of the Democratic ticket. For this auspicious result, we are indebted to the faithfulness of the borough Democ racy, and to the praiseworthy conduct of a considerable number of conserva tive and sensible Republicans, who find it necessary, in selfdefenee, to vote with the Democrats. Over such we do not triumph, for they helped us to gain the victory. The vote was as follows: Judge of Election. N. J. Lyons, D., 117. A. J. Middleton, R., 82. Inspector. Jonathan Brightbill.

THE VICTORY IN* NAPIER.—The Democrats of Napier tp., achieved a glorious triumph at the election on Friday last. The majority for Judge of Election, was 09, a gain of 21 over iS bars wood's maj. Our young friend, James Sill, was elected School Direc tor, by 82 majority over G. Hull. NAPIER TP., March 21, 18G8. EDITOR GAZETTE:—As the election for township officers came off yesterday, 1 have thought you would be anxious to know the result in this township, and 1 concluded 1 would give you a few items for your satisfaction. In the first place eacli party bad a ticket com posed of good men, and it was tiiought, under the existing circumstances • of the township, that it would make a close run, but the old Democracy became aroused, and, after they heard of the expression of your town's "(/as bay" leetle Johnny Cessna, that "in Napier the Democracy had become so rotten that he would defy them to elect a Democratic School Director," they pitched in with heart and soul in the good work and elected their whole ticket, with the exception of one super visor, giving the largest majority that has been given in the township for several years. Our School Direclois, that young and faithful Democrat, Jamas A. Sill, and that old veteran war-horse, Win. Rock, sen., being elec ted by large majorities, Sill having tiie same as the Judge. Rock being a "no bounty" man was cut some. There was not a lull vote polled, hut if there had been, our majority would have been increased instead of diminished. I consider that John Cessna is doing much more good now for the cause of Democracy than he ever did when he belonged to the party, for whenever he attempts to pile up a Republican ma jority he is certain to pull il doun.— We will have an election hoard, next fall, that will do honor to the township, three against two, and the "Republi can" Inspector, (that standing candi date for Sheriff,) A. B. DennLon, may make use of ail the gas lie contains and it will have no effect upon the other officers of the board, John A Burns, as Judge, and William Crisman as Inspector.

WHY AND HOW IT SHOULD BE BUILT.—'The following ar ticle is from the pen of a gentleman fully conversant with the busine-s of constructing railroads, and we give place to it with pleasure, as we will to any article upon this subject: MESSRS. EDITORS:—The value, if not the necessity, of railroads to a com munity, is so generally conceded that it is useless to advocate them, hut there are some truths in regard to them that are not generally realized. The first is that the owners of real estate in the vicinity of the road, and not the shareholders in the compa ny, as such, are most benefitted hv the construction of the road, and to such an extent is this the case, that while the shares in many roads haveproved worth less, we do not know a railroad whose completion has not been attended by a rise in the value of real estate along and near the line of the road, more than sufficient of itself to pay the cost of building the road. Secondly, each community will hence forth he compelled to build its own roads, excepting in the case of a few important trunk lines, whose construc tion is necessary for the prosperity of the cities connected by them, and such connecting roads as railway companies are compelled to build in order to pre venf the diversion of their trade. The dream that the people of Pennsylvania have indulged, ever since the commu tation of the tonnage tax, that the Penna. 11. It. Co. would build all the roads they wanted, has at last been dispelled, it is hoped, forever, and those who desire railroads must ob tain them as they obtained their prop erty, by investing their means in them. Thirdly, the interests of a commun ity are best served by the ownership of the railroads residing in the commun ity itself. Admitting the foregoing premises, and that Bedford County has not such railroad accommodations as are essen tial to its prosperity, thequestion arises: In what railway enterprise shouid the people of this county invest their means ? In answer, the following reasons for preferring the proposed road from the town of Bedford to Bridgeport, 011 the route of the Pittsburg and Connolls ville Railroad, are submitted : As to distance, supposing the distance from Bedford to Bridgeport to be 22 miles, then the distance to Baltimore by that route will be 214 miles against 235 by the way of Huntingdon, and to Pittsburg 158 against 203 via Hunting don, while to Washington, via the branch now being constructed from Point of Rocks, the saving will be much greater, and these markets both for buying and selling are as good as the more distant ones of Philadelphia and N. York. By this route another coalfield will be opened to Bedford, furnishing bet ter coal than the Broad Top coal, and the more scarce and expensive article of lumber will be obtained more easily and conveniently. The cost per mile of the proposed route is much less than from Bedford to Mt. Dallas, making it a more profi table investment; for 011 the supposi tion that there would be the same a mount of traffic on either line, and that the line to Bridgeport will cost one third more than the other, theearnings of the former would be three time* as great, making the proportion of earn i lgs to the capital invested 21 times as great. This project is not antagonistic to the extension of the H. & B. T. It. It. to Bedford, but will render that exten sion certain ; first, By endangering the prosperity of that road in its present condition so that the completion of the road to Bedford will be necessary to prevent the loss of a large portion of its most profitable business, and, sec ondly, by creating a considerable addi tion to the business, it would have, if completed alone to Bedford, and the prospect of this large increase would enable that company to obtain the nec essary means. If these reasons are sufficient for pre ferring the line to Bridgeport before others, the ail important question re mains, How can the means be obtained to build it, if no help can be obtained from abroad ? There are, we think, twenty men, at least, in the town of Bedford, who are abundantly able to invest SIOOO each in the stock of the company. As many more can contribute SSOO each, and an equal number $250 each, on the aver age, making a total of $35,000, and tltf* townships through which the proposed route lies can, without difficulty, con tribute the following amounts: Bedford Township, $30,000 Napier " $20,000 Harrison " SB,OOO Londonderry " $13,000 Making, with the town of Bedford, the sum of SIOO,OOO, and other townships might i>e relied upon to contribute e nough to cover any excess in the fore going estimate. The second resort, which should be only auxiliary to private subscription, is a county subscription to the capital stock of the company, upon the follow ing plan, which we think the only proper one. Ist. No bonds to be issued, but the subscription to be paid in such a num ber of instalments as will prevent the tax for the purpose from being oppres sive. 2d. .Separate receipts to be given for the railway tax, these receipts to be transferable as any other personal property, and convertible into private stock whenever presented to the secre tary of the company, in amounts equal to one or more shares of the capital stock. 3d. The county to be represented in the meetings of the shareholders by a proxy who shall vote on the amount of county subscription paid up and not converted into private stock. 4th. The assessed value of taxable property in Bedford county, is about 3} millions of dollars. A tax of five nulls per dollar on this amount for six years, added to a private subscription of the amount indicated above, would place the finances of the company on such a footing that its bonds for the amount required to finish and equip the road could bet isposed of without difficulty at high rates, and not only the completion ot the road hut its suc cess as a dividend paying investment ensured.. GROWING OLD.—How stealthy the years creep upon us, one by one, until some day we are startled to find our selves grown old! It is curious to see what different estimates people put on old age at different periods ol their lives. To the youth in his teens the man of middle age appears quite antiquated, hut when he himself ar rives at forty years he can scarce be lieve he is no longer young, and is as tonished to see so many who were hut infants the other day, now jostling him as full grown men in the race of life. taid one gentleman to another in our hearing : "What has become of all the old men ? When you and I were boys there were many old men about, hut they seem to be all gone." "Ah," said his friend, with a smile, "ask these youngsters where the did men are. They'll tell you—and you will find yourself among them !" WHOLESALE HAT AND CAP STORE. —We call the attention of our mercan tile friends to the card of Mr Max.

They have found their way into every city, town and village in our own land and in all parts ot Europe, where they arc rapidly superseding all other scales, but as they are the most durable and perfectly finish ed scale extant, we do not wonder at the demand for them.

We have been compelled to resort to this course in or der to obtain a settlement of our ac counts. We have too much to do to attend to making out bills, and we are tired of dunning. M >ney we must have, as we have many debts to pay, and we desire to act honestly with our creditors. Therefore, we ask all to pay Mr. Reed, who can, and those who cannot, we ask to call and settle. If there is any thing in their accounts by which they consider themselves ag grieved, let them call on us, and we will make all right that is not right.
