SEYMOUR AND BLAIR!
Grand Ratification Meeting!
BEDFORD COUNTY AHOISED!
I'libwuiitlecl KilltuiHiitMMi!
Last Thursday the nomination for
President and Vice President of the
United States was made in New York.
The spontaneous endorsement, by the
people, of the platform and nominees,
is truly wonderful. From Maine
to California theshout of the multitude
renttheair. Bedford,true to her in
stincts of Democracy, resolved at once
to give her emphatic approval of the
work done in the nominating conven
tion. A ratification meeting was call
ed for Saturday evening last, in front of
the Bedford Hotel. Owing to the lim
ited notice given, hut few were expec
ted from the country around; yet when
evening came quite a number were pre
sent to assist in the good work. When
the Band struck up there was a general
rush to Pitt street where the meeting
was held. On motion of J. G. Fisher,
the meeting was organized by the elec
tion of the following officers: President,
Hon. G.W.GUMP; V. Prest's, John
Mowry, James Corboy, Sr., Jacob Fet
ter, Joseph Souser, J. T. Gephart, Ja
cob Sender, George Blymyer and An
drew Mortimore; Secretaries, J. Hen
ry Hutton, Adam F. Miller and R. W.
Berkstresser.
Three cheers were then given for Sey
mour and Blair. O. PI. Shannon, Esq.,
opened with a short speech of great
force, after which he introduced Sam
uel H. Reynolds, Esq., of Lancaster,
Pa., who made one of the most elo
quent and patriotic speeches that we
have ever listened to. He gave a
scathing exposition of the fraud, cor
ruption and inhumanity that actuates
the dominant party, but told the peo
ple to be of good cheer, for with proper
effort on theif part, Radicalism will
soon lie wiped from the face of the
earth. He was frequently interrupted
with rounds of applause. He was fol
lowed by J. W. Collier and Julius Aro
nia, Esqs., of Louisiana, who depicted
the sad condition of the South, since
the mongrels have labored so assiduous
ly to degrade the white man, and re
tain power through the bayonet and
the negro. The meeting adjourned
with three rousing cheers for Seymour,
the next President.
On behalf of the Democracy, we re
turn thanks to the many ladies who
graced the meeting with their pres
ence. The Democracy are also under
many obligations to the Democratic
Band for the music they favored the
meeting with.
MEETING OF TILE GKANT AND COL
FAX FACTION. —According t previous
announcement the Grant ami Colfax
club was to ineet in the court house,
on Saturday evening last. The hell
rung to call the faithful together. The
President met; immediately after
which tin? President adjourned him
self to the corner of Pitt and Juliana
Streets. Presto, change 7 and the "club"
turned up in front of the Washington.
The usual crew across the corner, and
the storebox loungers below, formed a
nucleus around which the impeachers
gathered. The crowd was slim; a
large portion of it having been attract
ed thither by the hideous yells, under
the impression that several dog lights
were in progress. Altogether it was a
wonderful gathering. Cessna bellowed
till he got so hoarse that troches had to
be brought into • requisition ; while
Moses Aminadab, ever ready to imi
tate his master, so far excelled him, as
to get an octave higher. It was a mat
ter of question,whom they were addres
sing ; their own thin ranks, or the large
crowd of Democrats a square off. Hall,
too, not to be behind, retailed his usual
slang, of which even his own party is
getting tired. We were informed that
lie had with him that veritable book,
carried on former occasions, to prove
the divinity of slavery, but a reliable
informant tells us that he is willing to
take an iron-clad oath that the rumor
is false.
Occasionally a squib was fired off, or
a rocket sent up to keep the boys in
proper spirit, but of no avail, for the
meeting went up like a rocket and
came down like a stick. Sic transit
gloria mundi; which being liberally
translated means, "My glorious old
aunt's been sick since Monday. And
she'll get sicker . Selah !
THE "GLORIOUS FOURTH."— The
4th passed off quietly in our town. No
public demonstration of any sort took
place. About the "break of day" a
few patriotic young men burnt a lot of
powder, in the Square, the noise of
which greatly disturbed that portion
of the community who never realize
that glorious sight called sun-rise. In
the afternoon the Lutheran S. School
had a pic-nic in Defibaugh's woods,
where the children were treated to
choice music, beautifully "ground
out," and other "refreshments." In
town, that lime honored practice, the
reading of the Declaration of Indepen
dence, was dispensed with. We have
heard of several persons who read the
Freedmen's Bureau Bill, instead.

A NEW platform adopted—in the
Square, on the night of the 3d.

CONNELLSVII.LE RAILROAD.— Mr.
C. P. Manning, Esq., Assistant Engi
neer ef the Connellsville Railroad, has
opened an office in Cumberland for the
transaction of business connected with
the road. Work on th*e road was com
menced last week, and will be prosecu
ted with vigor. The people of Cum
berland confidently expect to be in di
rect communication by rail, with Pitts
burg, in about fifteen months, as the
heaviest part of tlie work is done, so
that the side cutting and leveling up
will not be very heavy work. This is
a road much needed, and we hope too
see the company put it through on
the double quick.
INJURED. —On last Tuesday week,
David Weaverling, fell down a shaft in
one of L. T. Watson's ore mines, near
Bloody Run, a distance of forty-five
feet. The shaft being narrow he re
tained the position he had when he
started, and landed on his heels. He
received severe, but it is thought, not
fatal injuries.
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.— There will be
Service at the Court House during the
Summer at 4 o'clock in the afternoon
instead of evening, in addition to the
usual morning Service.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—We are j
pained to learu that on last Wednes
day, the Bth inst., in the town of Wood
bury, Miss Maggie aged 21
years, an exemplary and highly es
teemed young lady, committed suicide
by hanging. Our space will not per
mit the publication of the whole of our
correspondent's version of this sad af
fair, which he says he has been reques
ted to write us, to prevent erroneous
reports. He says:
"On the morning in question,, she
arose early, prepared the breakfast for
lier brother, did up the morning work
neatly, as usual, and immediately af
terward, went to the stable and com
mitted the deed. She had been suffer
ing from an indisposition for some
time and was much depressed in spirit.
None stood higher in society, or was
mft-e beloved than Maggie. She had
no faults, was kind to all, and obedi
ent to her parents. Her disposition
was such as to make her a favorite*
with all with whom she came in con
tact. She left the following letter,
which I give you verbatim :
WOODBURY, July 9, 1868.
DEAR MOTHER: I cause you trouble
this morning, but I have come to the
conclusion not to trouble you any
more.
Dear Mother, pardon me for what I
have done.
Dear Mother, do as you wish with
my clothes, for I will not need them
anymore.
Father, don't take it hard for I am
in a deep study. Brother Christ, hope
God may be with you now ami forever.
People are getting down on me. May
God ever he with you all now and for
ever-more.
May God be with the unknown friend.
No more, but remain your true friend,
MAGGIE, TO HER MOTHER.
My love to Jennie N., Mary and
Clara Lee. Good bye, mother, don't
forget MAGGIE.
The sentences are very much dis
jointed, and show great suffering of
mind. Her remains were attended to
the grave by a large concourse of our
citizens, all eager to do homage to all
that remained of poor Maggie. Her
untimely death has cast a deep gloom
upon our entire community. The be
reaved friends have the sympathy of
all. May God bless and comfort them
in their deep affliction!" F.
WHAT WILL YOU HAVE TO DRINK.
—Different people, in different places
have different ways of expressing the
same thing. For example, in Montana,
when a man asks you to drink, lie
says: "Let's try some of the molten
lead and brimstone." In Idaho,
"Let's have a little extract Kansas."
In Arizona, "Let's take a scalp." At
Sacramento, "Let's reduce the flood."
About the Mud Volcanoes on the
Humboldt it's "Suppose we blaze?"
At Fort Chuchill they say, "Let's in
oculate with the measles," and every
body is inoculated there. In Berlin,
Somerset county, "Will you have the
Manuel?" At Chicago, "Nominate
your poison," and they pour it down
and are poisoned. And in Bedford,
thusly, "Let's mix," and verily they
mixeth and get "mixed."
STORM.—On last Tuesday week,
Bedford was visited by the most severe
storm of rain and hail that we have ev
er seen. It raged with unabated fury
for about two hours. Shade trees
were torn up by the roots, and along
the Juniata large sycamores were
tvvis'ed off like saplings. Bedford
street looked navigable, and at one
time the low parts of town were threat
ened with more irrigation than is
thought necessary to assist growing
vegetation.
IN TOWN.— CoI. J. H. Filler is in
town 011 a short visit to his friends.—
IT is needless to say that the Colonel
heartily endorses the New York nom
inees, and has no doubt of their trium
phant election. During his stay he
will address the Democracy, notice
whereof will be given. May his shad
ow ne'er grow less!
REMEMIIER, that at the Regulator's,
No. 2, Anderson's Ilow, (IT. F. Irvine,
proprietor,) you can get the best makes
of boots, shoes, gaiters, balmorals, slip
pers, Ac., for ladies and gentlemen,
misses and children.
THY IT. —If our nominees for coun
ty offices are "wooden men" the Rads
are not able to raise power enough to
knock them off their "pins." Try it
on !
THE Rads say that Grant will be c
lected beyond a doubt. We won't take
that for Granted, but they'll Seymour
about it after a while.
FINE SEGARS. —Where can I get a
good segarat a moderate price, is a
question often asked. We would say
to all at G. 11. Oster's new store. They
have the best assortment of segars and
chewing tobaccos in town.
FOR SALE—A four-octave MELODE

Tho advantages claimed for this pump over all
other patent pumps are as follows, viz : The valves,
instead of being gum, as is the case in most pumps,
are composed entirely of cast iron, rendering it
the mast durable of any pump yet patented.
There is no packing about it, consequently it can
not get out of order. This pump is so constructed
that it never freezes, the water dropping, the mo
ment you stop pumping, back to tho level with
the water in the well. It is simply constructed,
durable and cheap. It will force water any dis
tance. It is easily worked, and can be used, by
attaching hose, in washing wagons, horses, wat
ering gardens, and in case of fire is of valuable
service, as water may be thrown to the distance
of from sixty to seventy feet in the air from it by
the use of a small section of hose

"Star" Cotton Gins and Condensers; Circular
Cro3S-cut Sawmills; Vegetable Cutters; Ilorse

Shelters ; Dog Powers, Ac., Ac.
We wish to call the particular attention of
Farmers to our celebrated "STAR" THRESHER
AND CLEANER, which, as lately improved, we
claim it far superior to any other machine now in
market. It is compact and easily portable, sim
ple in its construction, and therefore easy to op
erate by the most inexperienced, and will do its
work with marvellous rapidity and perfection,
and with comparatively the least demand upon
the strength of the animals driving it.
We have made recent improvements in this ma
chine by which we are enabled to thoroughly
clean the grain under almost any combination of
difficulties, and we are now using an entirely new
and effective device for relieving the feeder of
dust, thus making the operation of threshing as
comfortable and safe as with the ordinary ma
chines it is annoying and frequently destructive
of health.
These Machines are made of suitable sizes for
our "Star" Railway 2 Horse Power and for our
"Star" Lever Powers for 4 and 6 horses.
For sale by our agents and dealers generally.
