Going—the Old Year.
Coming--the Holidays.
On hand—a surplus of snow.
Delighted—the children at the near
approach of Christmas.
Scarce— Greenbacks, butter and Ilad
icals who don't want an office.
The late snow storms have stopped
work on the buildings in progress in
this town.
A modern prophet says we are to
have eighteen snows this winter —two
of theut very deep.
Ladies —remember that this is the
last month in Leap Year. Improve the
few moments yet left you.
Finished—the grading of Juliana
street. Some of the pavements are
left in bad condition for the winter.
Gentlemen who dye their hair and
whiskers should not complain of the
ladies who use powder on their faces.
Tit for tat.
Somebody has flattered Boston by
saying it lias tiie prettiest women in
America. That somebody has never
visited Bedford.
A man named Farner stole a horse
anil buggy from a stable in Johns
town, and was arrested in Somerset
c >unty and put in jail.
A little boy in Huntingdon died
from the effects of drinking some lini
ment containing hartzhorn, which his
father hud been using.
An editor in an adjoining county
boasts of the Thanksgiving dinner he
helped to eat. Poor fellow ! No doubt
warm victuals tasted good to him.
Huntingdon is to have a Building
Association, a stove manufacturing
company and a furniture manufactory.
"Ye ancient borough" is looking up.
The "Devil's Brigade" is the name
given to that class of fellows who linger
about the church-doors, staring ladies
out of countenance. Very appropriate.
Plenty—applicants for the post
office. Those seriously inclined that
way had better apply to Nasby at once.
Grant has no policy on the P. M. sub
ject.
What is snow? A sentimental "lo
cal" responds: White feathers falling
from celestial doves; the sky shower
ing white blossoms 011 the grave of the
departed year.
The Teachers' Institute of Hunting
don county meets on the 14th, that of
Somerset 011 the 21st. Our County Su
perintendent, 11. W. Fisher, Esq., is
announced to be present at both.
IF your feet itch and burn, buy a
bottle of Heckerman's liegelon. Sold

ets. A sure cure.
BLOWN DOWN.— During the terri
ble storm of Monday night, the iron
smokestack of the Crystal Mills owned
by the Messrs. 1 lartley was blown down
and completely demolished.
THE VICISSITUDES OF FoßTUNEcan
not destroy mental culture. Education
rises above panics and fluctuations of
trade. Knowledge and refinement are
better than gold. Your daughters can
enjoy superior advantages at the Ilolli
daysburg Seminary.
RUNAWAY. —Last Thursday the ex
cellent span of horses owned by Dan
iel Cessna and driven by him on that
day, became frightened and ran away.
One of them ran against a tree with
such violence that he was instantly
killed.
BEAR CAPTURED.— We learn from
the last Inquirer that .Jacob Hardman,
John Hollar, William Hill, Levi Car
penter and Samuel May, of Harrison
tp., captured a bear on Buffalo moun
tain, near Buffalo Mills. He netted
one hundred and eleven pounds.
IN TOWN. —David Over, Esq., of the
Hollidaysburg Register , was in town
last week, attending Court. David
looks as though editing a bitter Radi
cal sheet in Blair county agrees with
him. He's for Geary for next Gover
nor.
GOOD HUNTING.— The "local" ofthe
Jlarrisburg Patriot brags of a hunter
in that vic'iiity, who has shot six wild
turkeys this season. We can beat this
easily. Mr. Geo. StifHer of this place
has killed eleven, and a party of three
otheis have shot over thirty. Any
thing else in our line, Mr. Local ?
HI DDEN DEATH. —On LAST Tuesday,
W. T. Daugherty, Esq., died very sud
denly at his residence in this borough.
I'p to that day the Judge was enjoy
ing good health, having attended the
court through all its ses-ions last week.
We deeply sympathize with the fami
ly which has thus suddenly been be
reft of its head.
COL. ROBERT FYAX.— 'The many
friends of this gentleman, in this coun
ty, will he gratified to learn that he
has be. n re-elected to the office of Pres
ident Judge of the district in which he
resides, in Missouri. Mr. Fyan is a
Radical of the strictest sect, but his
general popularity may be adjudged
from the fact that in his dirtrict, with
the exception of Grant, he leads the
whole Radical ticket. Col. Fyan is a
son of Robert Fyan, Esq., the oldest
merchant in this place.
CORNED BEEF AND CURED HAM-.
Many persons do not know how to put
up Pork and Beef so that it will keep
good and sweet for a year or more; it
is easily done when you once know
how, and costs but a trifle. Call tit
Heckerman's Drug Store and get some
of the preparation and instructions
how to use it. All who have used this
cure for meat, say it is the best, and
Will use no other.
TITK - CKM CTFCU'Y . -Th ere will Tie "a
Festival ami Grand Concert on Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday eve
nings, between Chritmas and New
Year days, in the Court Ilall of this
place, for the benefit of the Cemetery
Ass'n. These entertainments promise
to be the best of the kind ever gotten
up in Bedford. Let our people respond
in such a manner as will make these
concerts a success, and result profitably
to ilie Cemetery Association.
SNOW. —On last Sunday night and
Monday morning a deeper snow fell
than we have had for years. The
snow of the latter part of last week
was duly taken advantage of by par
ties who delight to he on "runners,"
and even in this first little jaunt of
sledding we coukl record a number of
"spills," "runaways," and other etcet
eras, incident to sleigh-ruling. If the
present weather continues, what a
merry time the jingling hells and the
marriageable belles will have.
TOTIIK GIRLS.— Girls beware of tran
sient young men. Never suffer the ad
dresses of a stranger ; recollect that a
steady farmer boy or a mechanic is
worth all the floating trash in the
world. The allurements of a dandy
Jack, with a gold chain about his neck,
and a walking stick in his paw, some
honest tailor's coat on his hack, and a
brainless skull, can never make up for
the loss of a father's house and a good
mother's counsel, and the society of
brothers and sisters; their affections last,
while thoseof a rich lookingyoungman
are 10-t in the wane of the honeymoon.
'Tis true, girls, be not deceived.
VALUABLE SALE. —We learn from
undoubted authority that the Lemnos
Furnace and lands belonging thereto,
were bought by the celebrated Iron
Company cf Johnstown, —Wood, Mor
rel! & Co. Knowing Something of the
character of this Company, and the as
surance they have given to re-build
the old works we hail their advent in
our neighboring township, as a pledge
that the incalculable treasures of Iron
Ore known to exist in our valleys are
about being developed.— Bedford Co.
Press.
ADJOURNED COURT.- -The causes
tried at the adjourned court, last week,
were few, but each cause occupied a
good deal of time, it being necessary
to hold a number of night sessions.
The following were disposed of:
Solomon Dickon vs. Moses Dickon's
Ex 'or. Feigned Issue. Jury find for
Defendant.
William Rogers vsThe Riddlesburg
Coal & Iron Co. Ejectment. Jury find

$211.18.
David Over vs G. W. Rupp et al.
Summons in Assumpsit. Jury find
for Plaintiff for sl2tJ2.-">2.
JUVENILE PROFANITY.— We know
no vice which needs a more thorough
reformation than the low and vulgar
practice of profane swearing. It seems
that boys labor under the mistaken i
dea that it looks manly—that it adds
to their ephemeral importance, and if
they can place themselves behind a
segar, and blaspheme their maker with
impunity, they are acting like men !
No one who walks the streets of our
town, in the evening, especially, can
fail to see the prevalence of this abom
inable and wicked practice. It appears
to be on the increase. Our schools
for moral or religious instruction seem
to have done little toward the sup
pression of a habit, the great extent of
which argues a laxity of morals which
does no great credit to us as a people.
ADVERTISING APHORISMS.— If you
don't mean to mind your business, it
will not pay to advertise.
Bread is the .-tuff of human life, and
advertising is the staff of life in trade.
Don't attempt to advertise unless
you have a good stock of a meritori
ous article.
Newspaper advertisements are good
of their kind, but they cannot take the
place of circulars and hand-bills.
Hand-bills and circulars are good of
their kind, but they cannot take the
place of newspaper advertisements.
No boll can ring so loudly as a good
advertisement. People will believe
what they see, rather than what they
hear.
Bonner, for several successive years,
invested in advertising al! the profits
of the proceeding year. Now see what
he is!
(Quitting advertising in dull times is
like tearing out a (lam because the wa
ter is low. Either plan will prevent
good times from ever coming.
The wise man of Scripture evident
ly did not refer to advertising when
he said, "Cast thy bread upon the wa
ters and after many days thou shalt
see it again," or he would have added,
"with interest."
If you would add to your business,
put your "ad." into our list.
A FIXED FACT— That Irvine, of
the Regulator, is selling to everybody
from his large stock of superior boots
and shoes, furnishing goods, queens
ware, gla-sware, groceries, &c. If our
readers desire to select their goods
from a large assortment in these va
rious departments, Irvine's is the place
to do it.
ADVICE TO LOVERS.— Never risk a
scolding by neglecting to supply your
betrothed with PHAI.ON'S "FLOR I)E
MAYO," the new perfume for the
baud kerchief. It is a sad thing for an
engaged couple to have a misunder
standing about a (s)cent. Sold by all

JACOB SCHEETZ— Lear Sir: It gives
me pleasure to bear testimony to the
efficacy of "<S 'ehedz'B Celebrated Bitter
Cordial." My daughter, who has been
afflicted for the last two years with In
digestion and Dyspepsia, for which she
had the services of medical skill, and
also tried various remedies without a
vail, was at last induced to try your
"Celebrated Bitter Cordial," and I am
happy to say her health has been en
tirely restored by its use. I would
therefore recommend it to others suf

it to be an invaluable remedy in such
cases.

The excellent American Organ, man

the recitatives in theoratorios, theeffect
of the soft stops and tremolo were very

Many years aco the writer of this no
tice and an invalid physician, while
visiting the Island of St. Croix for
their health, experienced and witness
ed many surprising and beneficial
effects of the Hum there pro luced up
on many of the invalids who were, like
ourselves, seeking health, obtained a
full history of its medical virtues. He
was delighted and surprised, and deter
mined to make it the basis of a Tonic
and Restorative Medicine. The result
of his labors was a glorious success for
hinisel f and suffering humanity. The
celebrated Plantation Hitters was thus
made known to the world. Being an
article of real merit, founded on new
principles, and relying wholly upon the
vegetable kingdom for its medicinal
effects, it worked a rapid revolution in
the treatment of physical debility.

HON. A. K. McCLI RF,, Philadelphia, 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 oable, we propose commencing operations
in China, and laying down a line of nine hundred
miles at once, between the following port •. viz :
Population.
Canton 1,000,000
Macoa 60.000
Hong-Kong 250.000
Swatow 200,000
Amoy 250,000
Foo-C'now 1,250.000
Wan-Cbu 30(1000
Ningpo 400,800
Hang Chean 1,200.000
Shanghai 1.000,000
Total 5 910,000
These ports have n foreign commerce of $900,-
000,000. 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 p>roposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means of communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the column
nieations of the Government, of business, and of
social life especially in China. She has no postal
system, and her only means nowofeommauioating
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 contains more than a third
of the human race. The latest returns made to
her central authorities for taxing purposes by tho
local magistrate make her population Four hun
dred and Fourteen millions, and this is more
likely to be under than over the actual aggregate.
Nearly all of these, who are over ten years otd.
not only can bt do read and write. Her civili
zation is peouliar, but her literature is as exten
sive as that of Eurepe. China is a land of teaeh
ers and traders; and the latter aro 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 by them exclusively for tho transmission of
early intelligence. If the telegraph we propose
connecting all their great seaports, were now in
exister.ee, 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, politically and evangelically.
The stock of this Company has been un
qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and busi
ness men, as a desirable investment by editorial
articles in the New York Herald, Tribune,
World, Times, Post, Express, Independent, and
in the Philadelphia North American, Press,
