INDIGNATION MEETING.— The city
fathers have determined to grade Juli
ana street. To this a number ol citi
zens objected as being a useless expen
diture. In order to bring this opposi
tion to a focus, a meeting of the anti
graders was called at the Court House
on Saturday evening. A number of
speeches were made, pro and con, and
the graders ami the anti-graders took
strong grounds why the ground should,
and why it should not lie removed
from the street aforesaid. The eve
ning was spent, and fair Juliana was
not de-graded, but a committee was
announced to wait on the fathers afore
said, and demand of them, in the name
of the indignant citizens assembled as
aforesaid, why these things are thusly.
Imagine the city fathers exclaiming,
"Can these things be and overcome us
like a summer cloud,
Without our special wonder?"
SALE OF OIL STOCK. —On last Tues
day 26,081 shares of the Stump Islands
Oil Company were sold publicly at the
Court House. They were sold accord
ing to the provisions of the act incor
porating said company, for the former
owner-of tiie stock who had neglected
or refused to pay an assessment of two
c.-nta per share made by the officers of
the company. All the stock, with iwo
exceptions, was bought for the assess
ment. The following were the pur
chases, with the amount of shares each
bought:
Dr. G. W. Anderson, 17,(Nit shares;
O. E. Shannon, 5,562 shars, Simon
Nans, 1500 shares, J. A. Henderson, 8-30
shares, Daniel Border, 400 shares, Lew
is Saupp, 255 shares, S. L. Russell, 250
shares, J. W. Dickerson, 200 shares.
Tin; 6 and 10 cent prints at Oster's
are selling oil' rapidly. They are just
the thing for comforts and cheap dres
ses.
ADMITTED TO THE BAR.—We have
neglected to notice that at our last
c >urt, A. D. Koontz, Esq., was admit
t ■<! to the practice of the law in the
several courts of this county. Mr.
Kooutz read law in the office of 6. 11.
Spang, Esq., and we understand passed
a very creditable examination.
THE NEW CATHOIJC CHURCH.— In-
teres ting details 0/ the Corner 'Stone lay
ing.—The following interesting matter
concerning the layin-v of the corner,
stoneof the new Catholic church, which
took place on the 22d instant, has been
furnished us for our readers:
As many are desirous of knowing
irhat objects were deposited in the cavi
ty of the cornerstone, laid last Thurs
day, with so much solemnity, in the
new Catholic Church now begun in this I
place, the following notice is intended
to satisfy all inquirers.
After the Bishop had addressed the
immense crowd that had assembled to
witness the solemn occasion, he invok
ed a blessing and deposited in the pri- i
inary, or chief angular stone, a zinc |
box, containing
1. The two Catholic organs, or papers, ;
of the Arch diocese and the Pittsburgh
diocese, viz: "The Catholic Mirror,"
and "The Pittsburgh Catholic."
2. The two county papers, ("Gazette"
and "Inquirer.")
6. Exemplars of the currency from a
dollar to a cent, kindly furnished by a
citizen of this place.
4. There was also deposited in the
hollow part of the corner stone a Latin
document, of which the following is a
literal translation:
"On the 22d of October, in the year of
our Lord, 186S, the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Domenec, blessed and laid this corner
stone of St. Thomas' Church in pres
ence of the Presbyters Ileyden, Nolan,
Smith, O'Shea and Byrne, surrounded
by a vast crowd of people. The reign
ing Pope at this time being Pi as the
Ninth.
The Archbishop of the Ecclesiastical
Province heing the illustrious (Martin
| Spalding.
The Bishop of this Diocese of Pitts
burgh, being Michael Domenec, distin
guished for piety and zeal.
Tho Pastor of the Church, the Rev.
Thomas Ileyden.
The President of the United States
being Andrew Johnson.
The Governor of the State of Penn
■ sylvania, John W. Geary.
The Supreme Judge of this Judicial
district being Alexander King.
The Chief Burgess of this town Val
entine Steckinan.
The Architect of this Church being

The above contains an account of all
J the articles deposited in the aforesaid

SAD ACCIDENT.—On last Thursday
as a party of men were threshing with
a machine at the barn of Mr. Jacob
Feightner in Harrison township, some
; of the machinery broke and flew into
the face of Mr. F. cutting his nose in
two, and mangling his lips and chin
in a terrible manner. One of his eyes
; was also injured to such an extent that
it is feared he will lose it. These ac
cidents are becoming rather too fre
quent.
IMPORTANT ADVICE TO VOTERS. —
On the third day of November the vo
ters of Bedford county will be called
upon to discharge a sacred duty they
owe to themselves. There are two par
ties in thecontest, both rallying around
the Flag of their Country. < )ne of these
parties is doomed to defeat, and with
that defeat there will be a great (lepres
-ion of spirits, superinducing a loss of
appetite and an entire derangement of
the digestive organs, or animal func
tions. The unfortunate in the contest,
aforesaid, will find a wholesome pana
cea in Hoofland's German Bitters or
Tonic that will speedily restore the tone
of their stomachs and enable them to
resume business. These preparations
are for sale by Druggists and dealers in
Medicines everywhere.
I F YOU want to buy a dress, a pair of
shoes, gloves, or any thing else, go to
G. R. Gster A- Co. They have beyond
question the largest and cheapest stock
in Bedford.
THE Radical platform says that Re
construct ion is a complete success.
Their papers give the lie to that ex
pression every time they retail any of
the manufactured "Horrors of Itebel
dom." Vide Bedford Inquirer.
ELECT Grant and place tho devilish
fanatics in power, and instead of heal
ing the wounds of the nation, you open
them anew.
J. M. SHOEMAKER has just received
and isopening a splendid stock of goods.
Call and see him, buy the latest novel
ties of the season, and you will go away
delighted.
THE report of the proceedings of the
Bedford County Teachers' Institute
came too late for the outside of this
week's paper. It was impossible to
have it in the inside. We will publish
it next week.
IN the boudoir and the dressing-room
one perfume reigns supreme. PHA
LON'S "FLOR DE MAYO," the new
perfume for the handkerchief, has no
rival in any home where tastpresides.
Sold by all druggists. oct23w2.

PROGRESS.—CoIumbus sailed to the
American coast in a four hundred ton
ship, and first landed upon the island
of St. Domingo. Last week a vessel
from St. Domingo unloaded in New
York over four hundred tons of St.
Croix Rum for P. H. Drake A Co., of
that city. This is but a few weeks' suj -
ply of this article which these gentle
men use in the manufacture of the cel
ebrated Plantation Bitters. We are in
formed by an .exchange that Messrs.
Drake & Co. have not advertised a Hol
lar for a year, but the sales of this article
continue at the former enormous figure.
In 1564, the receipts of the Plantation
Bitters were equal to those of the New
York & New Haven Railroad.
MAGNOLIA WATER. —Superior to the
best imported German Cologne, and
sold at half the price.

Do those who doubt whether it is
wise to place money in a Life Insurance
Company ever consider how wonder
fully economical the investment
is? Take the ordinary life plan of in- j
surance : where the party insured pays
his policy yearly- A man of thirty
may be insured for one thousand dol
lars—at theannual costof sl6,T">, ora lit
tle over four cents a day. In other
words a working man has only to drink j
one glass of beer less every morning to
secure his family from want. A man j
of fifty need only pay $36 65, or about j
ten cents a day, while a man of sixty ]
may be insured for $63 20, or a little
more than seventeen cents a day. No '
man, however limited his circumstan
ces, can refuse to put away such a small
part of his income for the benefit of i
those dear to him, especially when we J
have a company in existence like the
National Life Insurance Company,
whose advertisement we print else
where. This Company has in its man
agement men of national reputation
for honor and sagacity. At its head
we have such men as .Jay Cooke, whose
name alone is an assurance that every
promise made by the Company will be
redeemed.
CLOTHING. —If you want to buy-a
good suit of clothes go to It. W. Berk
stresser A Co's. clothing emporium.—
Also, hats, caps, eassimeres, muslins, j
and gents' furnishing, in great variety.

HT. LOUIS and IRON MOUNTAIN
RAILROAD COMPANY'S Seven per cent,
first Mortgage Bonds. February and August
Coupons. The earnings of the completed road to
Pilot Knob are now more than the interest on the
entire mortgage. The proceeds of these bonds are
adding to the security every day. Over $8,000,-
000 have been spent on the property, and not ov
er $2,000,000 of bonds issued thus far. The con
stantly increasing traffic of carrying ore, with the
prospect of controling all the travel from St Lou

revenue. The Directors own 8-10 of the stock for
investment, and are interested to enrich the prop
erty as well as to economize its expenses.

We, the undersigned, cordially recommend

The Chinese Government having (through the
Hon. Anson Burlingame> conceded to this Com
pany the privilege of connecting the great sea
ports of the Empire by submarine electric tele
graph cable, we propose commencing operations
in China, and laying down a line of nine hundred
miles at once, between the following port s. \■/

Canton 1,000,000
Macoa 00.000
Hong-Kong 2.ML000
Swatow 200.000

Ningpo -400,000
Hang Chean 1.200.000
Shanghai 1.000,000
Total 5 010,000
These ports have a foreign commerce of S9OO,
000,000. and an enormous domestic trade, besides
which we have the immense internal commerce of
the Empire, radiating from the9e points, through
its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means of communication, which'must
command there, as everywhere else, the commu
nications of the Government, of business, and of
social life especially in China. She has no postal
system, and her only means now of commuuicating
information is by couriers on land, and by steam
ers on water
The Western World knows that China is a very
large country, in the main densely peopled ; but
few yet realize that she oontainsmore than a third
of the human race. The latest returns made to
her central authorities for taxing purposes by the
local magistrate make her population Four hun
dred and Fourteen millions, and this is more
likely to be under than over the aotua! aggregate.
Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old,
not only can but do read and write. Her civili
zation is peculiar, but her literature is as exten
sive as that of Eurepe. China is a land of teach
ers and traders; and the latter are exceedingly
quick to avail themselves of every proffered facili
ty for procuring early information. It is observed
in California that the Chinese make great use o!
the telegraph, though it there transmits messages
in English alone. To-day great numbers of fleet
steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and
used by them exclusively for the transmission ot
early intelligence. If the telegraph we propose
connecting all their great seaports, were now iu
existence, it is believed that its business would
pay the cost within the first two years of its suc
cessful operation, and would steadily increase
thereafter
No enterprise commends itself as in a greater
degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our
whole people. It is of vast national importance
commercially, politicallv and evangelically
