An adjourned court is in session this week. The attendance is slim, and the business seems to be ditto. Assistant Assessors will soon be after calling upon our citizens for incomes and special taxes. Be ye also ready ! On last Saturday the Lutherans of St. Clair,sville took the initiatory steps to build a new brick church the com ing summer. We notice that the subject of supply ing our public schools with libraries, at the expense of our State, is favor ably discussed in many newspapers. ♦ Our Supreme Court lias decided that the seller is bound to make a deed, and as a deed without stamps is worth less, tiie seller is bound to furnish them also. 1 ■■■■■■■ CIGARS AND TOBACCO.— The best place to buy good brands of cigars and tobacco, is at Crouse's. Dan keeps up u reputation for selling none but the best. • Are you insured against loss by fire? If not, take out a policy at once at the Bedford Insurance Agency, Jno. G. Fisher, Agent. None but the best Companies represented. The accommodating Regulator man, No. 2 Anderson's Row, is selling otf his large stock of boots and shoes, jueeusware and glassware, Ac., Ac., at unprecedentedly low prices. Now is your time to buy. INTERESTING DIALOGUE. — Radical No. 1-Which is the organ of the "Republican" party of Bedford county, the Bedford Inquirer or the Bloody Run I'res*i Radical No. 2. Yea! -- ■% On last Saturday a vote was taken on the question of Postmaster for this Borough. A.S. Russell, J.G. Minnich and John Arnold were the candidates. The vote stood as follows: Russell, 170, Arnold 34, Minnich, 11. Russell's majority over both, 125. The Reformed congregation of St. Clairsville have purchased four acres of land, adjoining the okl church, for the purpose of making a cemetery.— Our informant tell us that no iabor or expense will he spared to make the spot beautiful and attractive. EGGS-ITING EGGS-AGGERATION.— It is now proposed to sell eggs by weight, instead of by the dozen. An exchange hopes not. Some eggs are very heavy—when they contain juven ile chickens; and to purchase poultry in that condition, at present prices, is by no means economical. • -■ - VELOCIPEDIANA. —The velocipede mania has fairly taken root in several -of the cities of the country. It is all the talk, and already have schools been opened wherein to learn the knack of propelling and riding the curious but simple vehicle. "Mud, mud, mud," is in everybody's mouth; and we have even seen it all over men's hats during the last week. Never have we beheld our streets in such wretched "stick-in-the mud" con dition. The bottom seems to have dropjKHi out of some of them and gone to China. SAW MILL BURNED.— On last Satur day night the saw mill of John Con rad, Esq., of Union tp., was destroyed by fire. Besides the mill the loss was increased by the destruction of shin gles, seasoued lumber, Ac. A lot of carpenter's tools were damaged. The fire is supposed to have originated from a stove in the mill in which fire had been during the day. YOUNG HORSE THlEF.— Samuel Baily, a boy 15 years of age, 9tole a horse from CharlesStucke.v, with whom he had been working, in Bedford tp., week before last, started otr down the pike, and was overtaken about 3 miles east of Bedford, and tho horse taken back. The boy then went back to Sehellsburg, and on last Wednesday a week, stole a horse from the stable of Charles Colvin, and was pursued and overtaken near Johnstown, and ar rested by Eli Rininger, •brought to this place and lodged in Jail to await his trial. The old hackneyed question, "Who discovered America" has been eclipsed by the following, which has become tiie subject of serious debate in every Radical meeting held in this county: "Which is the organ of the Radical party of Bedford county, tiie Bedford Inquirer or the Bloody Run Press! At last accounts the party was divided on the subject, the renegade Democrats taking sides with the Press and the regular "old lines" with the Inquirer. As soon as this troublesome question is disposed of, the novel one of "Which is the front end of a wind-mill" will be taken up. Elaborate essays have already been prepared by several young Rads on this all absorbing topic. FIRE.— On last Saturday evening, a bout 8 o'clock, the usual quiet of our town was disturbed by the cry of "fire." This was occasioned by the discovery of fire in the splendid hard ware establishment of Messrs. Hartley & Metzger, on the corner of Pitt and Richard streets. A large crowd of peo ple was soon on the spot, tho doors of the store were forced open, when it was found that tiie room was so densely packed with smoke that it was almost impossible to get near the fire, which was raging in the hack part of the building. When the fire was reached, a liberal application of water soon con quered the destructive element. The loss sustained by the parties will reach in the neighborhood of SI,OOO, which is fully covered by insurance. TOLL.. —There are no less than six toll ■ gates between this place and Somerset, going by the Somerset and Bedford Turnpike; that is a gate for every 6J miles. If each gate keeper were made to use a shovel fifteen minutes in every twenty four hours, the road might be made passable. We doubt, however, whether these toll-houses were estab lished for any such purpose. AT any rate the road is now, and has been for several weeks, closed, at several points, by snow-drifts, which a little shoveling might remove. The toll, however, is the same, drifts or no drifts. We say to this company, keep open your road or close your toll houses. —, m AN ELECTION. —The Radicals of this neck ol the woods, held an election on Saturday last, for the purpose of indi cating their choice for Postmoster. — Mr. A. S. Russell received a large ma jority of the votes polled. Democrats are generally well satisfied with the result. Mr. Russell was a soldier who served his country faithfully, is a gen tleman and will make an excellent Postmaster. He has been, during the last four years, clerk for Mr. Dover, the present efficient Postmaster, who, though a Democrat, resigned some time since in favor of Mr. Russell, and secured the appointment of the latter by President Johnson. As the masses of the Radical party hereabouts have confirmed President Johnson's appoint ment, we presume the U. S. Senate will do likewise. "Our member of Congress" elect will scarcely object, although he and his immediate friends forgot to vote on Saturday last.
