WATER-UAUI..— On List Thursday,
a stranger boasted on our streets that
he had found one thousand and forty
dollars in Cumberland Valley tp.. sup
posed to have been thrown away by
the Clearfield bank robbers. He was
arrested and searched, and on his per
son was found the above sum, all but

day, as a number of persons were enga

in Bedford township, the walls fell in,

Zimmers. Tomlinson had three ribs
broken and received Severe inter

and hand horribly tnashed and Phillip?
was stunned and bruised considerably.
The injured parties are all doing well,
the ouiy wonder is that any of the par
ties escaped instant death.

ami expects to be in the county in a

take pleasure in showing his samples,
•and be pleased to take their orders. To
those of our merchants who have tried
the house, we need say nothing, but
would advise those who have not, to
give the young man their orders and
try his goods. Look out for him.
DECORATION' DAY. —On last Sunday
afternoon the surviving soldiers of the
late war decorated the graves of their
fallen comrades, who lie in the several
burial places about Bedford. Fair
hands had gathered beautiful flowers
the day before, and at the appoint
ed hour the living soldiers met at the
court house, formed into line, and,
preceded by a band of martial music,
marched to the silent cities where lie
the honored dead. The ceremony of
decorating the graves of the fallen' he
roes was then gone through with. The
turn-out was a large one, many friends
of those for whom this day had l>een
set apart swelled the procession and
embraced this opportunity to go
where
••Affliction's hand may strew her dowy flowers,
Whoso fragrant incense from the gravo shall rise."
GREENBACKS GOBBLED.— Clearfield
County Currency Captured. —We have
often heard of mountains of iron and
hills of gold, but Bedford county has
the honor of having a valley of green
backs, and Uuinberlaud Valley is the
spot where the stamps can be picked
up. Ever since the Clearfield bank
robbers took the deposits out of
said bank, and, after being captured,
deposited them along the road, money
has become plenty in Cumberland Val
ley and almost every day we learn of
its being picked up. No doubt some
has been found by travelers along the
road which will never be accounted for,
but up to this time $2,852:20 has been
brought to town and placed iu the
hands of Justice Lingenfelter for iden
tification. It was found by difiV rent
parties, as follows: George Censure,
$2,000; Annie Arnold, $220; Mrs. Dick
en, $l2O. On last Sunday, Sheriff
Steckman and John Defibaugh found
$12.20 in new ten cent postal currency.
If the robbers had been searched im
mediately after their capture, at Ceu
treviHe, no doubt every cent of their
ill-gotten gains would have been cap
tured. But they were determined
that.no traces of the robbery should be
found on their persons, and they man
aged to throw away all the mon
ey along the road. It is remarkable
that so much has been picked up, con
sidering that the first was found al
most a week after the capture.

Deatrick is the Stated Clerk. The
geographical territory of this Classis in
j eludes Frauklin, Fulton, Bedford,

ties. it has 29 ministers, and 6,H86
; church members. In addition to its
| ministers, each pastoral charge is rep

j The business usual to such meetings
was transacted. The i>aroehial reports
indicate a large and healthy increase
of the church. The contributions dur
| ing the past year for strictly benevo
lent purposes, amounted to $3, 558. —
This Classis has eleven young men un
der its care, and designs to give them
a full education for the gospel rniuis
i try.
Among other things, "Mercersburg
College,'' received a large share of at
tention. Thischurch school is now fill
ed with young men who are pursuing
their studies with great advantages,
and the expenses are so small, as to
place a college education within the
reach of almost every <>ne. The Board
of Regents, elected by the Classis, lias
been instructed to go on with the full
college course, according to the provis
ions of the charter, and nearly enough
means have already been supplied to
sustain the institution for five years,
during which time it is hoped that
much can be done in the way of per
manent endowment. An additional
force of Professors and Teachers will
be secured without delay.
Oh Monday evening the Classis ad

Whereat it had pleased our Heavenly

liexo/rcd, that we deeply feel the
visitation of the Divine hand, which

brightest minds and the church a
member whose past lifb had marked
out for him a high position in her
ranks.
Rtmovled, that we thank Almighty

God for the great mercy which ena
bled liiin to fail asleep in Jesus.
Resolved, that we sincerely sympa
thize with the relatives who have
placed in the grave, in the hlootn of
life, one so accomplished, gentle, and
dearly Ijeloved by all.
Rexnlred, that as an expression of
our high regard for hi in, we send a

7b the Kdilors of the Valley Spirit
being an
entire stranger hitherto to yourself
judge of my utter surprise on seeing
my name so frequently in thecolumn
of the last issue of your paper Ir.ass
much as you have chosen to speak
plainly of me you cannot know and to
severely criticise a production which
i had hasteiy prepared not with a view
topublieation which recently appeared
in the Fulton republican i deem it but
fair play that i may be heard in de
fence, believing therefore that you as
an independent journellist will not de
ny one who for four years defended
the Hag of his country an opportunity
to reffute what ibe lieve to be an un
just imputation upon myself and tore
pell an undeserved calluniny from otf
our distinguished representative Hon
orable John Cessna I take the liberty
to make a brief personnel explanation,
for remember inr editor that fair play
is a jewel I and that whilst the multi
tude may for the time be attraetedby
your attempts at wit yet in the lan
guage of the poet
'"Truth crushed to earth will rise a
gain" and J can say with another So
crates is my friend Plato is my friend
but truth is much more my friend and
whilst it makes very little difference to
me how my name may be pronounced
or spelled yet 1 am not altogether in
sensible to praise or disblaime. you
state that mr. Cessna, through his law
student, has replied to the Fulton re
publican—now sir what ever credit
may rightly belong to that article i
claim it all for myself not one idea
therein contained was ever dictated to
me by any living mortal-no not even
by mr. Cessna himself. However I
might state in as much as 1 have no
desire to conceal the truth after the ar
ticle in its printad state was brought
to the notice of mr. Cessna by myself
he cordially indorsed the statement of
facts made by me and if you will par
don my saying it spoke approvingly
of the general character of the article.
What I tharein stated I then knew to
be true and Istill know it. I said then
and i now repeat it that this whole af
fair has been instigated by theeneuiies
of mr. Cessna encouraged by the weak
need republicans and treacherously
connived at by the parsimonious edi
tor of the Bedford Inquirer for which
statement iam now asl then was en
tirely responsible
I am sirs very respectfully

I take great pleasure in giving my testimony to
the value of "Middleton's Wonderful Pain Cure. "
1 have been a martyr to Rheumatism For two
months previous to Feb. 25th, last, I was suffering
intensely with pain so severe, that during all that
time I had not one night of comfortable sleep. I
could not put my hands to my faoo, could not
comb my own hair, nor feed myself; but after
having the Pain Cure applied once, I found relief
enough to give mo comfortable sleep, and with its
steady use, I continued to get better, and now at
| the end of ten weeks from its first application, I
| have comparativaly free use of my hands, sleep
well and can attend to businoss. It has done me
, more good than all other medicines I have ever
! used pit together, and I cheerfully give this cer
tificate of its yalue

The undersigned having leased the Large New
Woolen Factory, at Waterside, for a number of
years, respectfully inform the old customers of the
Factory and the public generally, that they will
need at least the above amount of wool. They
have on band a large lot of Cloths, Cassimeres,
Tweeds, Satinetts, Jeans, Blankets, Coverlets,
Flannel, Ac , which they will exchange for wool,
as has been the custom heretofore. Carpets will
be made to order, at all times. Stocking yarn of
all kinds always on hand. Our peddler. Thomas
Border, will call on all the old customors, and the
public generally, in duo time, for the purpose of
exchanging goods for wool. The highest market
price will be paid I'or wool in cash.

T ET EVERY MAN, WOMAN

READ TIIIS!
Their ov. n interests are at stake in
this matter. Everybody has suffered so muoh
from the accursed CREDIT' SYSTEM, if system
it can be called, that I intend to offer to every
body a panacea for the evil in the future.
On and after the first day of June, 1869, I will
sell goods EXCLUSIVELY FOR CASH OR PRO
DUCE. No doubt some customer# may be lost to
me, but I flatter myself that it will be only those
from whom I cannot collect present accounts.
All goods will be sold at about one-half the
profit now paid by consumers. The people often
complain of Bedford prices being higher than else
where, and It is doubtless true, to some extent, for
the reason that good customers have had to pay
for others' goods with an additional profit on their
own.
Let an intelligent Oominanlty sustain tue in this
enterprise and they WILL BAVE FROM TEN
TO FIFTEEN PER CENT. ON EVERYTHING
THEY CONSUME.
