TRY AGAIN. —The Inquire/', of the
fth inst., endeavored to slur the gal
lant Democratic soldier, Gen Hancock,
by referring to him as having taken a
conspicuous part in the court martial
that tried and condemned Mrs. Surratt.
Now, the editors of that delectable
sheet either knew that they were pub
lishing deliberate falsehoods, which
they could easily palm off on their
readers as truth, or their knowledge of
recent events is sadly deficient. We
are charitable enough to suppose that
the former is the case. Gen. Hunter, a
Radical of the deepest, darkest hue,
and not Gen. Hancock, was President
of the court martial. The latter was
not even a member of the court, but at
the time of the trial was in command
of the troops in the Middle Military
Division," which comprised the Dis
trict of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware,
Pennsylvania, W. Virginia, and part
of old Virginia—head-quarters at
Washington, and had to obey such
military orders as the President saw
proper to make in the case.
THE modesty of the "fighting" edi
tor of this paper, were lie at home,
would prevent the following flattering
notice, from the Bedford county Press,
from being copied into this paper, but,
regardless of consequences, "ye local"
takes the responsibility of doing so.
PROMOTED. —B. F. Meyers, Esq., for
twelve years past editor of the Bedford
Gazette* lias purchased a controlling in
terest in the Patriot <0 Union, a daily
Democratic journal published at ilar
risburg. The Patriot <ۥ Union is a
journal of considerable pretensions and
influence, and being published at the
capitol of the State is regarded as the
central organ of the Democratic party
in Pennsylvania.
Mr. Meyers is a political writer of no
ordinary calibre, and the GAZETTE hav
ing greatly improved under his control,
we know the Patriot and Union will be
considerably invigorated by this addi
tion to its editorial corps, lie will
still retain his interest in the GAZETTE,
and .after the close of the twelfth vol
ume, (August) under his supervision,
it will be enlarged to an eight column
paper, making it among the largest
weeklies published in the State. P.
, All right, brother P., except that you
forget that Morning Patriot is the name
of the enlarged and improved paper in
which Mr. M. has a "controlling inter
est."
A GOOD STOPPING PLACE.— By ref
erence to our advertising columns, it
will he seen that J. Morrison, Esq.,
formerly of the Morrison House, has
taken charge of the Exchange Hotel,
Huntingdon, Pa., and has thorough
ly renovated, refurnished and suppli
ed it with all the modern conveniences
and improvements. The dining-room
has been removed to the first tioor and
is large and airy. His table groans
with the "good tilings" of the season,
and they are dished up in a manner
that cannot fail to please everybody.—
Mr. Morrison is a prince of landlords
and has the rare gift of making every
one at home in his house. Give him
a trial.
THE WHEAT CROP of Bedford coun
ty, from present appearances, will be
very heavy. Since the introduction of
grain drills, the crop has increased in
proportion to the number of drills used.
We are informed that the fields seeded
by the Willoughby Gum Roller Drills
are more evenly covered and will
yield more grain to the acre than those
put out by any other process. Every
farmer should own a Gum Roller
Grain Drill.
THE POTATO BUG.—AS the period
for this troublesome insect to begin its
devastations is near at hand, we call
attention of farmers to the following
remedies, which have been tried and
pronounced highly successful :
Ist. Take half a bushel of saw dust
and a pint of coal oil; mix well, and
sow broad-cast over the potato hills.
Repeat the dose if the bugs make their
appearance at any subsequent period.
2d. Make a weak brine of common
salt and water ; sprinkle the brine on
the vines after sunset; but take care
not to put on too much, or the tops
will wilt.
Either of the above remedies will
drive otf the potato bugdering the en
tire season.
IRVINE, (the Regulator), says he has
boots and shoes, queensware, glassware,
notions, <fcc., &c., for everybody. Go
and see.
HYDROPHOBIA.—We see by our ex
changes that numerous mad dogs have
already been killed; and in some places
a systematic onslaught has been made
upon the whole canincspecics,by theci
vil authorities. The Philadelphia
Evening Slur says the best application
for the bite of a dog is spirits of harts
horn, and this should be applied wheth
er the animal appears rabid or not.— j
Medical observation shows that about
one person in twenty, bitten by mad
dogs become hydrophobic. As the
hydrophobia season is now at hand,
the public should be reminded that a
dog ought not to be immediately kill
ed if he has bitten a person, although
he may appear to be mad, because such
animals, when allowed to become quiet
and composed, have often returned to a
perfectly quiet and natural condition,
and thus the mind of the person bitten
has been saved from most terrible fore
bodings.
DESTROYED BY FIRE.—We were sor
ry to learn of the destruction by fire, 011
Wednesday last, the house of Mr. Abra
ham Shaffer, of West Providence town
ship, with all its contents except a bu
reau and a few other articles that are
of little value. The family were all ab
sent at the time, except a servant girl
of about twelve years of age, that was
left churning. Shortly after the depar
ture of the family, the servant girl vis
ited a near neighbor, and when arri
ving there, she looked back up
on the house she had just left and be
heid it in flames.
Mr. Shaffer is a young man, of indus
trious habits and most that he had ac
cumulated was the result of hard la
bor, which makes the loss severely felt
by him. This is the third house de
stroyed by fire in that neighborhood,
within quitea reeent period,whid 1 gi ves
room to suspicion an incendiary has
been at work there.
Loss about $600.00. No insurance.—
Bedford County Press.
MASONIC DK M< >NST RATION . —The
laying of the corner stone of the .Ma
sonic Temple on Broad street, in the
city of Philadelphia, on the 24th of
June, will be the grandest Masonic
ovation on record. Eight thousand
Masons will be in rank, all appearing
in full Masonic dress. The procession
will form on Broad street at eight o'-
clock, countermarching almost the eh
tire length of that magnificent street.
Some twelve of the best bands have
been engaged for the oceasoin. At
high meridian the corner stone will be
laid by Richard Yaux, Esq., and an
address delivered by Judge Jones, of
Reading, the President Judge, at pres
ent, of that Judicial District. The
masonic odes will be rendered 011 the
occasion by two hundred of the best
choristers. A grand banquet will be
given at the Academy of Music in the
evening, where the ceremonies will be
continued, table lodge opened, and
where speech, song and sentiment will
make the occasion 011 c long to he re
membered by the craft.
IMPORTANT TO FISHERS. —An old
fisherman states that if a man wants
to catch fish whenever he visits the
river, let him not pick the full moon
days to do it in. He gives a philoso
phical reason for the advice—whether
sound or not we cannot decide, lie
says, when the moon is full, the nights
being bright, enables the fish to do all
their foraging in the iright time. Of
course, having their wants supplied,
they lie up all day, and consequently
their is a scarcity of "bites." Under
a new-moon season, the fish have to
sleep at night, and work by day; and
that makes the length in the fisher
man's string.
DANGEROUS COUNTERFEITS.—Coun
terfeit SIOO National bank notes are in
circulation. They are exceedingly well
executed, and will deceive the majori
ty of persons in whose hands they fall.
The engraving is very fine, and the
printing as perfect as it could bo done.
These notes are on the Central Nation
al Bank of New York, and on the
Ohio National Bank of Cincinnati.
Twenty-dollar bills altered from fives
on the First National Bank of Boston
are also in circulation.
GONE UP. —Since the failure of im
peachment, followed by the disastrous
defeat of the Radicals in Oregon, the
visages of the impeachers have become
so elongated, that the price of a shave
his advanced fifty per cent. The
Democrats will give them such a clean
shave in November, that no expense
need be incurred on that account for
the next four years. Selah !
FINISHED. —Jacob Bowser has just
finished his large store room at the
corner of Pitt and Richard streets. —
With part of the building raised, and
a new coat of paint, the old "Colon
nade" looks rejuvinated. Miller and
Bowser have now one of the finest
store rooms in the country, with an
immense stock of goods at prices to
suit the times.
R. W. BERKSTRESSER & Co., have
just received a large and splendid as
sortment of goods, which they are now
opening. They make a specialty of
ready-made clothing, hats and gents'
furnishing goods, and we would advise
everybody to go and examine their
stock, as we feel sure you will be suited
from top to foot, in the best style, and
at moderate prices.
THE Poor Directors will meet here
after on the first Wednesday of each
month instead of the first Tuesday
as heretofore. Those having busi
ness totranact will please to take notice.
WARM WEATUER has again come

SPECIAL NOTICES.
REASONS WHY.
We are enabled to offer superior inducements to
purchasers of clothing, to which your attention
is respectfully invited.
We have a business experience of more than 25
years, have been longer established than any
house in our trade in Philadelphia.
We employ sufficient capital to make ALL, PUR
CHASES FOR CASH, which, together with the
fact that our large business enables us to buy in
large amounts in first hands, thereby saving all
profits of jobbers and middlemen, give us ad
vantages in purchasing at the lowest rates,
SHAKED BV NO HOUSE IN OUR TRADE.
We sell only for cash and having no losses from bad
debts to provide for, the paying customer is not
TAXED TO KELP PAY TOE DEBT OP ANOTHER WHO
does not pay, as is inevitably the case in a busi
ness where credit is given.
We employ the best talent in all departments,
which, with long experience, enable us to man
ufacture garments SCPERIOR IN EVERY RES
PECT — equalled by Jew—surpassed by none.
We have the largest establishment for the manu
facture ftnd sale of clothing in Philadelphia,
extending through from 518 Market street to
511 Minor street, occupied exclusively by our
selves. also a branch store at 600 Broadway,
New York, and keep at all times of
MEN'S, YOUTH'S and BOYS' ItEADY-MADE
CLOTHING-, the largest stock and best assort
ment in the city, from which any person can be
accurately fitted at once, as well, orbetter, than
by garments made to order, our large stock
comprising every size of all styles of goods.
We have recently added to our previous stock a
full assortment of
CHILDREN'S GARIBALDI AND OTHER
SUITS, equal to any in the city in style, trim
ming, and make ; which are sold at lower pri
ces than have hitherto been known in Phila
delphia. They, with all our Boys' and Youth's
goods, are kept on the first floor, nearest the
front, convenient for ladies. We have also re
cently opened on our SECOND FLOOR A
CUSTOM DEPARTMENT for the display of a
choice selection of Foreign and Domestic Fa
brics in the piece, which will be MADE UP TO OR
DER. in the best style, by competent and skill
ful cutters and workmen. The advantage of
dealing with a CASH HOUSE will be especially
apparent in this department, upon a compari
son of prices.
We guarantee our prices lower than the lowest
elsewhere and also guarantee full satisfaction to
every purchaser, and request, that should any
cause of dissatisfaction exist with a purchase
made, it may be reported to-us, pledging our
selves, by exchange, refunding of money, or oth
erwise, to give full satisfaction in every case.
(,Samples and prices sent by mail when desired.)
An examination of our stock respectfully re
quested and your patronage, if the above state
ment of facts be satisfactorily demonstrated.

A NEW REMEDY IN CONSUMPTION.—
A Physician who had Consumption for several
years, with frequent bleedings of the lungs, cured
himself with a medicine unknown to the profes
sion, when his case appeared hopeless. He is the
only physician who has used it in his own person,
or who has any knowledge of its virtues ; and he
can ascribe the degree of health he now enjoys to
nothing but the use of his medicine ; and nothing
but utter despair and entire extinction of all hope
of recovery, together with a want of confidence in
all others induced him to hazard th# experiment

will eradicate the disease. Medicine sent by ex

THE MORNING PATRIOT.
The office of the late Patriot aurl Union having
passed into the hands of the undersigned, they
propose to supply a vacuum that has long existed
in the newspaper press of interior Pennsylvania.
From some cause or.other the reading masses of
the Democratic party of the great interior coun
ties of the State, have been compelled, either to
do without the latest news, or patronize journals
whose political sentiments were distasteful* to
them
The MORNING PATRIOT is intended to supply
this want.
Its proprietors are determined that no efforts
shall be spared, on their part, to make it FCI.LV
KQUAL. as a newspaper, to any of its competitors
Whatever the eleotrio wires are able to communi
cate, up to the hour of going to press, will bo fur
nished in its columns every morning; and its
large size will enable it to give quite as much
reading matter as any of its contemporaries. •
As an advocate of sound political sentiments,
favoring no faction, clique or section, but devoting
its entire energies to the good of the whole par
ty ; as a vehicle of the latest news, and a chroni
cler of passing events, we are determined that it
shall not be excelled " and we confidently appeal
to a discriminating public for that appreciation
and encouragement which are indispensable to
success.

TIIE WEEKLY PATRIOT.
It is the determination of the proprietors of the
PATRIOT to make their weekly journal fully equal
to what the "Patriot and Union'' was in its palmi
est days. It will be one of the largest weekly pa
pers in the State, and special pains will be taken
to fill its columns with such reading matter as
will be alike interesting and useful to the Farmer,
the Mechanic and the Man of Business, and to
make it nn agreeable and welcome visitor to ev
ery family.
Every person should subscribe to the paper
printed in his own county, and we do not mean to
enter into competition with the local papers of the
State. But, many people take their home paper
and a city paper in addition. To such we send
greeting.
