THE POOR HOUSE QUESTION.— At
the Jam term of court a petition from a
number of citizens was presented, ask
ing the court to issue a preliminary in
junction to restrain the County Com
missioners from incurring any further
expense in the erection of the proposed
new Alms House. This the court re
fused to do because complainants had
not filed the necessary bond of $lO,OOO
to indemnify the contractor, &c. Bills
in Equity were duly filed, and upon
these the court—Judge Rowe on the
bench—ordered the injunction to issue.
This, of course, stops all elforts to erect
a new alms house. The case may be
Liken to the Supreme Court, and if the
opinion of the court below be reversed,
the work will go on, otherwise not.

CARRIER'S ADDRESS to the patrons
of the BEDFORD GAZETTE, January 1,
JSCS):
Dear friends, you'll not expect me,
In my very juvenile verse,
Much of the past year's doings
At this time to rehearse.
For to your doors I've weekly
Brought all the current news,
And if you didn't read it
'Twas that you didn't choose.
You certainly do remember
Events within a year
That did befall the tenants
Of this sublunar sphere.
I'll only jog your memory
Concerning a very few ;
'Tis well to think on the Old Year
As we begin the New.
I've read in Peter Parley,
Of many cruel wars,
Of fire and blood and carnage
That mark'd the world with scars.
These things in times barbaric
The human race befel,
Turning God's beautiful foot-stool
Into a raging hell.
Since then the christian era,
lias dawn'd the storm to still,
With Peace the ruling principle,
And toward men Good Will.
Now, look you through the year that's
gone,
And tell me, does the age
Fulfil the Christian doctrine,
Or repeat old Parley's page?
From where the bright LaPlata
His silver billows rolls,
To where the waning Crescent
Gleams o'er the Cretan knolls ;
From Erin's emerald headlands,
To faction-rent Japan ;
How much of man's humanity
Is there toward his fellow man ?
Alas! the same old story
Of battle, spoil and rage,
Of Lust and Fraud and Tyranny,
Mar the historic page.
In the Old World king-craft struggles
To hold its blood stain'd thrones,
The Eastern gales are laden
With the suffering people's groans.
The bayonet props the power
Of monarchies effete
And the people toil and perish
To support the bayonet.
But Spain has burst the shackles
That bound her far too long,
And the Castilian valleys
Now ring with freedom's song.
Old Ireland, too, is giving
Her enemies hot work,
And Crete is springing from the wave
To free her from the Turk.
Anil in this Great Republic,
This proud land of the free,
The vampire Reconstruction
Kills the bird of Liberty.
Beneath the once broad segis
Of the fundamental law,
Whereat the nations wondered
As its perfectness they sew,
Millions of people languish,
In civil slav'ry bound ;
So that their shameful bondage
May to party ends redound.
Five hundred thousand whito men,
American citizens born,
Of every right they hold most dear
By usurpation shorn!
Five hundred thousand white men,
Americans as we,
Denied the right of the ballot,
'Neath the banner of the free!
Whilst in the halls where Pinckney
And Jefferson gave laws,
And Washington and Henry
Upheld a righteous cause,
Half-barbarous negroes sit and rule
The now degraded state,
Whilst Federal bayonets execute
The Radical's vengeful hate.
Oh ! shame, where is the face of brass
That wears no mantling blush?
Oh ! Justice, where the coward heart
That does not burn to crush
The infamous cabal that sways
So hold the tyrant's rod ?
Look down upon a people's wrongs,
O just and righteous God !
Now, let the New Y'ear bring us,
A new and bright regime ;
An era that shall grandly
Tiie gloomy Past redeem.
Now, let our strifes be buried,
Our prejudices cease,
Our bick'rings and heart-burnings
Give place to perfect peace.
Let Winter's falchion icy
Smite cold the heart of Hate ;
And from this blessed morning,
Let Love's dominion date.
Then may ye answer truly,
Amen ! as ye shall hear
The pleasant, hearty greeting
Of a happy, glad New Year.
THE CARRIER.
NEW LAMP TOP. —lrvine, the en
terprising man of the Regulator estab
lishment, has just received a large sup
ply of beautiful coal oil lamps with
new and improved tops and chimneys,
which far surpass anything we have
ever seen in the lamp line, together
with a new style of lamp shades. Ev
erybody should have one. Call and
see them. Tops and shades to fit all
sizes of kerosene lamps.
CORN CAPTURED.— Corn theives ap
pear to be operating successfully in the
upper end of the county. A number
of farmers about Schellsburg report
heavy losses lately, as high as twenty
and thirty bushels having been taken
in a single night. Farmers, secure
your grain, as there is a prospect of a
long winter ahead.
From the army hospital; the bloody
battle-field, the mansion of the rich and
humble abode of the poor—from the of
fice and the sacred desk ; from the
mountain-top, distant valley and far
off islands of the ocean—from every
nook and corner of the civilized
world, is pouring in the evidence of
the astonishing effects of Drake s Plan
tation Bitters. Thousands upon thou
sands of letters like the following may
be seen at our ofiice :
* * * * i have been in the Army
Hospital for fourteen months, speech
less and nearly dead. At Alton, ill.,
they gave me a bottle of Plantation
Bitters. Three bottles have made me
a well man. C. H. FLAVTE.
MAGNOLIA WATER.— Superior to the
best imported German Cologne, and
sold at half the price.

HUNTINGDON, Dec. 30, 1868.
EDITORS GAZETTE:— We notice in
the Inquirer , some lying remarks made
by its editor in reference to one of our
agents who is now canvassing your
county, not in the interest of the Dem
ocratic Party, but of humanity. He
says first this agent is a New England
er, which would benocrime, (although
it is not true) except that he was a
member of the Radical Party. V e
are astonished at the impudence of
this editor to cast reflections upon a
section of country from which emanate
all the ideas of Radicalism and from
which he and all such silly mongrel
editors receive their political instruc
tions.
He says further that "the agent,
though an entire stranger in the com
munity, is thoroughly posted as to the
whereabouts of every disciple of the
lost cause" and can readily distinguish
the object of his search from a Radi
cal Republican, and this editor seems
astonished at this fact. We would
just say here that we would not em
ploy a man to work for us, who we j
thought could not readily distinguish j
an honest man and Democrat from the
editor of the mongrel sheet of Bed
ford. This dirty mongrel, w hose patri
otism was first strong enough to give
liiiu rheumatism of the hip joint, which
prevented his shouldering a musket
and marching to the front, as he no
doubt was anxious to do, seems to be
greatly disturbed for fear too many of
the honest people of Bedford, who are
anxious to read truth, may patronize
our agent, and, therefore, sounds the
alarm, by calling their attention to the
conduct of an eastern gent, who some
time since, it is represented, swindled
the good people of yourcounty,and who
(as we are informed on good author
ity) was a full blooded Black Republi
can, and, therefore, had just honor
enough to take advantage of the people.
He further calls our agent "the Negro
Supremacy book man," forgetting the
fact that Radicals like himself alone
I advocate the supremacy of the
Black Race, whilst Democrats believe
] in the superiority of the Caucasian over
I all other races and especially over the
Negro Race; and for this reason, ad
vocatejust what our hook advocates,
white supremacy and Negro subordi
nation. Of course, we do not contend
j that some niggers are not just as intel
ligent, and many of them more hon
orable, than this Radical editor.
He says further that our agent was
defrauding the government by "doing
business without license." Our agent
supposed that he was not liable to take
out license, and telegraphed us on this
point. We are quite sure lie is honest,
even if lie does not fully understand
all the requirements of the Abolition
revenue swindle. We presume that
the §lO.OO paid by our man, goes to
wards paying off the §2,21)0,000 given
to our Radical Representatives in con
gress for tiieir votes and influence in
making the Alaska appropriation, and
toward hundreds of other items, equal
ly villainous, perpetrated by our Rad
ical congress and which have swelled
the debt to its enormous size.
But even if our agent did try to
swindle the government, he did no
more than this same Radical editor,
who cheated the government out of his
loyal services, which were needed in
the front, during the war, by limping
| along the streets of Bedford, making
i the citizens believe that he was afflic
ted with Chronic Rheumatism, and he
did no more than Radical Bondholders,
who coined all their money out of the
blood and sufferings of the people, and
by their fraud and villainy helped
heap up this enormous debt, and now
have the brazen impudence to exact
an exorbitant interest on their bonds,
while they sit carelessly looking on,
| and not paying one cent toward light
j ening the burden of an oppressed peo-
I I>le-
This editor further states that the
Democrats of Bedford county have re
alized that their doctrines are false, by
the ignominious defeat of their candi
dates; he means, of course, because the
Radical Party polled a few more votes,
through fraud, than the Democratic
Party polled. This same argument, if
argument it is, proves that the teach
ings of the Bible are false, because the
great majority of the people, including
this Radical editor and our Radical
congress serve the Devil instead of
worshiping God.
We wish further to inform this
small editor (for such we have always
considered him to be) that the people
of Bedford county don't seem at all
likely to take his advice, as our agent's
reports show, either because they don't
read his paper,or if they do because they
can have no confidence in anyad vice giv
en by a Radical Republican, who will
shirk duty by feigning Rheumatism,
knowing full well that men who have
done so much to overthrow the consti
i tution of their country, and to destroy
and trample on the rights and liberties
of the people, are not safe advisors un
der any circumstances.
Please, Mr. Radical Editor, give us
another p iff in your able paper; some
of your friends are already patronizing
our agent, and many more will seek
"Democratic Literature" in less than
twelve months.
