Democrat the following ar ticle on the fashions, it will prove in teresting to our lady readers: The greatest and most singular revo lution to be chronicled in the hill fash ions is the down fall of crinoline. — I[ une months since and are rapidly being a bandoned by New York fashionables. Fifth avenue knows them no longer forever, and Broadway each day sees le-s of them. The ladies have howev er substituted a gorefl under-skirt, made of hair cloth, or the old-fashion ed eorded muslin, so much in vogue some years since. The skirts of long dresses have alter ed hut little since last sea-on. They are still worn gored very much in front and upon the sides, hut are made very full in the back, and the train is of more moderate dimensions. All long dresses are made with a pannier, which is a necessary adjunct to every toilet, the pannier puff'being the favoritestvle for long dresses. There have been many new materi als imported for suits, the most expen sive being figured velvet —an elegant fabric, not unlike gentlemen's vesting*. Beautiful shades of claret, mulberry, brown, and garnet cloths havealso been imported. Among the latest novelties is an overdrew- of black gross grain silk, with a velvet petticoat striped with black and gold, or black and crimson, though til's material can be obtained in all shades. Fluid suits seem to be gain ing in favor, being made always of the blue and green tartan. They ate espe cially appropriate for very young In dus, and are made and trimmed in va rious ways. As toilets are always made in suits, there is but little to be said about cloaks. \el vet will, as al ways, bold its place as the favorite arid most elegant mantle; Plush jackets are still worn and can lie obtained in love ly -hades of blue, garnet and French gray. They are short and jaunty. When made with pointed hoods and trimmed with with tassels they are particularly pretty. Cloth cloaks are cut as pelisses, or as basques with capes or hood. In black they are especially convenient, as they can be worn with a skirt of any color. Circulars made of bright-colored plaids have been exceed ingly popular during the tall, and are so universally admired that they will doubtless continue to be used as neg lige wrap- during the winter. Si noon DIRECTORS' DUTIES.—' The last number of the Pennsylvania School Journal, has the following sen sible article on the importance of school directors visiting schools: "Theduty of visiting the schools is considered one of the most impor tant duties that directors have to dis charge in the administration ofthesys tem. The law makes the duty impera tive,and noper-cn should accept the of tieeofschoo! director unless lie is willing to .perform it. When well done, its ef fect is always to make the schools more efficient. It stimulates pupils in their studies. It enables directors to ascer tain the exact condition of the schools, school-houses and school-grounds, tin the whole, so high a value does the Department set upon the local -nper vision of the schools that it always ex pects to find the school of districts which are regularly and sy-temati cally visited by Boards of Directors ac cording to the provisions ot law, other things equal, fifty per cent, better than thc-e of districts in which the schools are entirely neglected in this respect and this estimate is made from perso nal observation in hundreds of dis tricts." _ BUSINESS. —Bright, clear, and beau tiful weather—just bracing enough to make a man feel good, and in the hu mor for pushing business. The best way to get the purchasing portion of the community in the humor for buy ing is to advertise, and one of the best mediums for advertising is the BED FORD GAZETTE, which goes every where and is read bv everybody. Send in your advertisements, business men, if you would prosper. Keep your selves before the public, as the poli ticians do. Let everybody know who you are, where you are, and what you are doing. Attention to these matters rarely fails to achieve fortune. THANKSGIVING DAY.- -Governor Geary has designated next Thursday, the *Asth of November, to be observed by the people of Pennsylvania as a day of thanksgiving and praise to Al mighty God in acknowledgement of the many blessings vouchsafed during the past year. The same day has been appointed for the- same purpose by most of the Governors of the other States. The President of the United States, it will he remembered, issued his proclamation some weeks ago, re commending the 2<>th instant as a day of thanksgiving and praise throughout the country, and as the Governors of the several States are designating the sunc day, it will be a national holi day. CEMETERY. —On Tuesday evening next, Nov. 21, there will l>e a meeting of the friends of the Cemetery Associa tion, at the Court House, at 7 o'clock. The ladies of the town are especially in vited to attend. The object is to make preparatory arrangements to the hold ing of a festival. A. KING, Pres. H. N ICOD EM us, Sec'y. PASSED THROUGH.—A large lot of tools, carts, pick- and other imple ments used to prepare the way for the iron horse whose -brill neigh will be fore many days be heard in the south western portion of our county, passed through town the other day, for the line of the Pittsburg A Connellsville Bail Road. We understand that a large force of laborers will be put on the road at once and the work pushed to com pletion at the earliest possible day. THOSE wishing to buy real estate, should attend the sale, in St. Clair tp., on Saturday, December 12,18fi8, adver tised by J. \V. Dickerson, Esq., in this issue. This property is one of the most desirable and valuable in that part of 1 the county. The water right extend ing clear across the farm to the Al- ■ stadt line, cannot be excelled and is daily becoming more valuable. The farm needs only to he well tilled to be come one of the most productive in the county. SUDDEN DEATH.—On the 20th of Oc tober last, Mr. Henry Cable, of Shade township, Somerset county, rode to Shanksville, a distance of ten miles, to procure some medicine for heart di sease, (to which he was subject,) and immediately after mounting hi- horse to return home, he began to sink for ward, fell from hi> horse and expired in five minutes. He was in the I-t year of his age. WINTER SEASON. —The Winter Sea son is now approaching, when warm rooms, warm beds and warm clothing will be called for. Cold noses, fingers and toe will soon become quite a com mon complaint, and means must be sought to guard against such incon venience. Comforters, gloves, fur.- and other contrivances will be brought into requisition, while the hands of j many a stout fellow will find comforta ble quarters in his breeches pockets. Meanwhile it is to be greatly feared that colds, catarrhs and numberless ills will be induced by neglecting to have the fall properly cared for. Stout boots and shoes, gum and other over shoes, cork soles and other inventions for keeping the feet warm and dry, are offered for sale at various places. TRANSPLANTING TREES. —This is the best season of the year for trans planting fruit or shade trees of all kinds. Any time in the Fall before the ground freezes deeply will do. Per sons having unoccupied land, yards, lanes, Ae., should plant them with tries. The result will amply pay the cost of labor, and yield a thousand per cent, in satisfaction, comfort and lieau ty. Our fanners' fields are too bare of fruit trees. There should be sufficient to furnish cattle with a shade during the heat of the day under a summer sun. There is land enough that might he well occupied for this purpose. THE POOR. —As cold weather sets in there will lie more or less distress all around ns, and it would be well to begin in time to do something in the way of providing for those who are compelled to suffer want. ''He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord," was the text of Lorenzo Dow, and the applica tion of the sermon was—"if you like the security, down with the stampm." Philadelphia, March 10 th, ISGB. JAI OB SCTIEETZ, Esq.—J/Y Dear Sir: Some eight months ago, when suffer ing from great nervous prostration, the result of exposure and overtasked en ergies, I was Induced by you (an old friend) to takeasa tonic your celebra ted Bitter Cordial; and so agreeably surprising have been its beneficial ef fects, that I cannot refrain from thus bearing testimony in its favor. As a beverage, it is as pleasant and delight ful as a glass of rich dark brown sher ry; as an appetizer before meals, per fectly magical; and as a digester <>f food, the most potent compound 1 ev er knew. Altogether, I consider it one of the happiest combinations of medi cinal herbs ever offered to the public as a curative, i most cheerfully and confidently recommend it to every suf ferer from Debility, Dyspepsia and Rheumatism. As a substitute for the villainous alehoholic anil vinous con coctions imbibed at too many of the public bars of the present day, it must also prove a blessin '. Very truly yours, Alex. W. Blackburn, Fire Marshall. fcrA'Kead Scheetz's standing adver tisement in another column. + BORDER DAMAGES.—FranI lin coun ty has put in 1,504 claims, Fulton 127, Perry 5, Bedford 17, and Cumberland 122.—Adams will probably have 1,000, and York several hundred. The claims in the aggregate will reach from sl,- Z 00,000 to $2,000,000.

CULTURE makes the difference be tween the gentleman and the boor, the lady and her drudge. A pupil in the Hollidaysburg Seminary has a pleasant home and excellent instruc tion. WARM AND DRY FEET.—There is nothing more conducive to health than to keep tlie feet warm and dry. There is no better way to do that than to buy your boots and shoes, over-shoes, stockings, Ac., &c., from 11. F. Irvine. SUENTEDSIKIWERS.—When drops of PHALON'S "FLOR DE MAYO," the new Perfume, fall in aromatic show ers on thousands of handkerchiefs eve ry day, who can deny that it is the reiyniny perfume?

Solicitor 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 | iD China, and laying down a line of nine hundred miles at once, between the following port i. s ■/ Population. i Canton 1,000,000 ; Mttcoa 60,000 f Hong-Kong 250,000 t Swatow 200.000 Amoy 250.000 , Foo-Chow 1,250.000 i Wan-Chu 300.000 Ningpo 400.006 ■ HangChean 1,200.000 Shanghai 1,000.006 Total 5 910,000 These ports have a foreign commerce of $900,- 900,000. and an enormous domestic trade, besides which we have the immense internal commerce of : the Empire, radiating from these 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 i command there, as everywhere else, the commu nications of the Guvernmont, of business, and of social life especially in China, She has no postal system, and her only means now of eommuuica'iDg information is by couriers on land, aud by steam ers on water, The Western YVorld knows that China is a very large country, in the main densely peopled; but few yet realize that she contains more than a third of the human race The latest returns made to her central authorities fo: taxing purposes by the local magistrate make her population Four hun - dred and Fourteen millions, and this is more likeiy to be under than over the actual 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 of the telegraph, though it there transmits messages in English alone. To-day great numbers of fleet, steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and used hy them exclusively for the transmission of early intelligence. If the telegraph we propose connecting all their great seaports, were now m 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 I thereafter No enterprise commends itself as in a greater degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our whole people It is of vast national importance i Commercially, politically and evangelically. IjgfThc stock of this Company has been un qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and b-i --ness men. as a desirable investment by editorial j articles in the New York lleruld, 'Tribune, ' World, Times, Post, Express, Independent. and in the Philadelphia North American, I'I?. j Ledger, Im/uirer, Age, Bulletin and Telegraph.
