The impression seems generally to
prevail that we will have plenty of
fruit this year, as the buds have not
iieen materially injured.
Artists who do landscaping in white
wash, and execute geometrical figures
with soap and brushes, are extremely

The weather just now is extremely

her abode with us.
CESSNA'S LAST TRIUMPH.— "Our"
Congressman Is a giant when it comes
to lifting postmasters. He has recent
ly hoisted one at Scalp Level.
Family bibles, miscellaneous books,
school books, wall paper, inks and sta
tionery are sold at the Inquirer Book
Store for less money than any whereelse.
SUICIDE.—A man by the name of
Kmriek, residing in Allegheny tp.,
Somerset co., hung himself the other
day.
For Sale—a limited number of post
offices. The voice of the |>eople not
heeded in this case. First-class wire
pullers only permitted to bid. Apply
to "our" member at once.
Quite a number of beautiful shade
trees are being planted in different
parts of the town. That is right.—
Keep the ball rolling.
Bedford county is infested with
horse thieves.— Hotlidaysburg Register.
That is certainly an item of news to
our people.
Caterpillars have already made their
appearance and will soon commence
their ravages on the fruit trees. Now
is the time to destroy these pests.
There are still a number of cross-road
post offices in this county to In? sup
plied with officers. Cannot "our"
member "peddle" them out ? Let him
try his hand at once.
EDITORIAL VISITOR.— We had the
pleasure, on Monday last, of a call from
our friend, D. K. Wagner, Esq., of the
Shippensburg News. David looks well,
considering that he edits a radical pa
per and has just committed Itco-iride.
_
Cain Norris, the Freedinau's Bureau
pet, was convicted at Chambersburg,
last week, and sentenced to thirty Ave
years in the eastern penitentiary.—
Article XV loses an enthusiastic sup
porter.
DIVIDE ET IMPEBA.— This must be
the motto of Congressman Dad. He
divides his favors. The Bedford post
office is to pay annually to another par
ty besides the postmaster, the sum of
jfciiMi. Such is the bargain.
WE are idebted to Senator Wallace
for a copy of his speech on the extrav
ganee in expenditures of the Radical
administration of State affairs. It is
an able argument against radical rule
and should be read by everybody.
J ANUS.— "Our" Congressman looks
one way and rows another. He sug
gested that the "Republicans" of this
neighborhood hold an election for post
master, but acted contrary to the de
cision of the people at that election.
DROWNED.— Mrs. Mowry, an aged
lady residing in Juniata township,
was found dead in the Raystown
branch of the Juniata, on last Friday
morning. She left the house.thenight
before, without the knowledge of its
inmates, and it is supposed threw her
sMf into the water and was drowned.

SEVERELY INJURED.— "We are pain
ed to learn that on last Saturday, our
friend Jacob M. Burnett, of Coaldale,
was so seriously Injured, in the Wigton
mines, by rock and coal fulling on him,
that his life is despaired of. His breast
was almost completely crushed in.
AN EFFICIENT AGENT wanted for
Bedford County, by one of the latest
and best Life Insurance Companies in
the Country. Address, DANIEL
S HELLEY fc SON, General Agents
Manhattan Life Insurance Co., Harrls
burg, Pa. _
Now that the scribblers for the In
purer are safely ensconced behind the
strong walls of the GAZETTE BUILDING
they amuse themselves by throwing
paper balls with a recklessness that is
truly astonishing. But the walls in
the GAZETTE BUILDING arc thick, and
paper halls cannot penetrate them, So,
go a head with your fun, hoys. Nobo
dy shall hurt you.
A man who has just subscribed for a
Cambria county paper acknowledged
to the editor it lie had been a regular
subscriber to his paper lie would have
been saved two hundred dollars. So it
is. There are items and advertise
ments published in the county papers
which if heeded would prove the turn
ing point in many a man's career, and
h*ud him on to fume aud fortune.—
And yet this advice is only worth $2 a
year or four cents a week.
H. F. IRVINE has every variety of
boots and shoes, queens ware, glass
ware, groceries, notions, dr., usually
kept f>y a first-class store, as is the
"Regulator" establishment. Besides
this, he sells at remark ably low prices,
and none but the very beat of goods.
FATAL ACCIDENT.— On last Friday,
as Michael Warmouth was erecting a
shed for a brick yard, in Napier town
ship, a heavy pole which he was about
putting up, slipped and struck him ou
the head, inflicting such severe in
juries that he lived but a short time.
His remains passed through this place
on Sunday, on their way to Markles
burg, Huntingdon county, where his
family reside.
ANOTHER SHINGLE. —The Bedford
Gazette swings from the Sout hern end
of the Inquirer Building. They
took that end from principle. The
"Inquirer " of course stays North. — In
quirer.
Those fellows of the Inquirer are a
stupid, selfish set. They pretend to
admire our beautiful "shingle," but
as their vision does not penetrate farth
er than to the end of their nasal organs,
they cannot see that our sign swings
from the GAZETTE BUILDING. AS
to thelnquirer "staying North," that is
quite characteristic of that journal, for
its editors took precious good care to
"stay North" during the war. Swear
the next witness.

ERRATA . —"Linden," our Philadel
phia correspondent, sends a postscript
to this week's letter, in which he pitch
es into us thusly:—
Mr. Devil, you played havoc with
my last batch of paper squibs. You
destroyed my sense, you spelled words
wrong.
Mr. Proof Reader, did you lose your
specs, when you liad that flitting?
Did you get knocked into pi ? Well,
as a moving is equivalent to one third
of a tire, we will kindly subside, know
iug your readers can easily make the
corrections. L.
We most humbly beg Linden's par
don for making him say so many awk
ward things. Creating order out of
the chaos and confusion incident to the
removal of a printing office, and a rush
of job work, precluded us from giving
the paper the attention it should have
had. Besides we-were planting little
onions and computing the interest on
our Seven Thirties—we mean those we
expect to get, some day. Rest assured,
that Linden's sheets of ink-stained
snow, shall not again be marred by
the rude hand of a printer's "devil," or
his ideas knocked into "pi" by a
"speckless" proof-reader. Not if the
court knows itself.
ARRESTED. —On Friday last we were
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Huzzard, on
a "writ of inquisition" and conveyed
to the county jail. Like a good
citizen, willing to serve our coun
try in any capacity, wo inarched
thither without a murmur. But imag
ine our surprise when we reached
that place, that instead of facing iron
bars and heavy manacles to secure our
presence in durance vile, we beheld an
array of ingenious attorneys, bland
ly smiling clerks, gentlemen of
leisure, and others who had been call
ed together to discuss the qualities of a
dinner prepared by the good lady of
the house. And such a feast! To use
a hackneyed phrase, "the tables liter
ally groaned" with good things there
on, which were prepared in a manner
to tickle the palate of the most fastid
ious fellow. Being modest, we looked
on, and can verify that all did jus
tice! o the cause before them, especially
the lawyers who always liketo be well
fe(e)d. In conclusion—as the speech
makers have it—permit us to say that
Mrs. Steekman knows how to get up a
dinner and the Sheriff and his deputy
know how to entice men to go to jail.
Arrest us again !
THE MYSTERIOUS EGGS.—A laugha
ble scene occurred in front of the Court
House, on Monday afternoon last.
Jerome Blitz, the great wizard, who
can practice his wonderful feats in pub
lic as well as private, stopped at one of
the huckster stands, and inquired the
price of hard boiled eggs. "Two for
five cents," was the answer. "Dirt
cheap," says the little Magician, com
mencing to break one. By the time he
had the shell broken, out pops a ten
dollar greenback, which made the hon
est old huckster open his eyes as big as
a saucer. "That's very strange," says
he. So Jerome took up another egg
and out pop two five dollar green
hacks. "There," says the Wizard,
"this is certainly luck- guess 1 will
take them all." "No, you don't,"
says the huckster. "I don't sell any
more of thein. I might as well have
the money as you." Our old friend
commenced breaking open the re
mainder of tiie eggs, hut found no
greenbacks. Such laughing and jump
ing was never before seen around the
Court House.— Repository.

A CARD.— Since I became a candi
date for the nomination for Sheriff,
some evil disposed persons have circu
lated a report that I supported John
Cessna, for Congress, last fall, and that
he had secured me the appointment to
a lucrative office as a reward lor such
support. With those who know me,
no denial is necessary, and those unac
quainted with me, could easily sat
isfy themselves of the falseness
of the charge by referring to the
vote of our own township, where Mr.
Cessna did, not get a single. Democratic
vote ! The charge is false and utterly
without foundation. The appointment
referred to was that of surveyor of dis
tilleries, the emoluments of which a
mounted to about forty or fifty dollars,
and was made by William MeSherry,
Esq., Democratic Assessor of Internal
Revenue, for this district, without the
knowledge or assistance of Mr. Cessna,
or any one else, without any solicita
tion from me or my friends, and really
against my wishes, as Mr. Hughes and
other distillers, who urged me to ac
cept, can testify. The annexed state
ment of Mr. MeSherry himself proves
the truth of what I have here said.
WILLIAM KEYBER.
LITTLESTOWN, March 18th, 1869.
I do hereby certify that on the 22nd
of January A. IX 1869, I recommended
Win. Iveyser, Esq., of Buena Vista,
Bedford co., Penn'a, to Ihe Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue as Survey
er of Distilleries for Bedford and Som
erset counties, and that on the 29th of
said month, he was appointed as such
without the influence of anv other per
son whatever. WM. M< SHERRY.
In publishing the above card we do
not wish to be understood as favoring
the cause of Mr. Keyser, or any other
candidate, for any office. As we have
said heretofore, our desire is that each
candidate shall have a fair and unpreju
diced chance for nomination. Let the
electioneering he done, as true Demo
crats, desiring the good of the party
and the overthrow of Radicalism,
would do it. We would just add that
we know Mr. MeSherry personally, and
that he is a gentleman of honor, a
Democrat of the straitest sect, and he
held the office of Assessor of Internal
Revenue as a Democrat and resigned
it as soon as Grant was inaugurated.
