SEVERE STORM.— A severe storm of
hail and rain visited a portion of Ful
ton last Monday week. Barns and
trees were blown down, horses killed
windows smashed and the crops, in the
track of the storm, were completely
destroyed.
CHILD LOST.—A daughter of James
Staley, about eight years of age, was
lost in the Mountains near Mercers
burg on the 20th ult. Up to this time
no trace of the lost one has been dis
covered, although the mountains have
been scoured fur miles around by
crowds of people.

DEATH OF THE "OLDEST INHABI
TANT."—Mrs. Mary Amick who diet!
in Monroe township, on Saturday the
29th ult., was no doubt the oldest in
habitant of this county. She was born
in Loudoun county, Virginia, in Oc
tober, A. I). 1762, and would have
been one hundred and seven years old in
October next. Deceased was a mem
:ber of the Lutheran church of which de
nomination she was a regular commu
nicant for a period of eighty five years.
CORUEOION.— An error has appeared
in the Statement of Receipts and Ex
penditures of JBedford borough, which
was made bv the omission of the Audit
ors to give the Treasurer credit for i
tems amounting to $1,228.11. The cor
rected statement was handed to us last
week, but we overlooked it. This
week the account appears as it should
be. Justice to all concerned demands
this explanation, otherwise a reflection
might be made on the Treasurer, Mr,
Rush, than whom no more honest or
correct officer can be found.
FASHIONABT.E WEDDING.— Mr. Es
py L. Anderson, late of Itedford
Springs, and Miss Rebecca Johns of
this city, were married by Rev. Dr.
Coiton, in the P. E. Church, at It o'-
clock. P. M., last Thursday evening.
This marriage excited a good deal of
interest and a large number of persons
attended the church, to witness the cer
emony. There were six gentlemen
and six lady attendants. The bride
was dressed in white silk with illusion
over.— Mountain City Time .l.
A WORD TO THE LADIES.—IN one
of our exchanges we find the following
directions for preserving boquets, in
their original freshness and beauty for
r. long time.
"First sprinkle it lightly With fresh
water. Then put it in a vessel contain
ing soap-suds; this will nutrify the
roots keeping the flowers as bright as
new. Take the boquet out of the suds
every morning, and lay it side-ways
the stalk entering first into the water;
keep it there a minute or two, then
take it out and sprinkle the flowers
lightly by the hand with water. Re
place it in the soap-suds and it will
bloom as fresh as when gathered. The
soap-suds need changing every three
or four days. Ry observing these
rules%trietly, a boquet can be kept
beautiful for at least a month, and
wilJ last longer in a very passable
.state."
BARNES BROCUIIT BACK. —It.
Barnes, a dusky American citizen, late
a it)ember of the House at Allegheny,
has announced hi-s intention to "run
over the track" again. lie thinks the
thieves at Allegheny are fully as re
spectable as the thieves at Hairisburg,
hence he longs for the soup bowls of the
no We instititution beyond the "city of
smoke." Barnes has Deen there and
tasted the sweets of solitary life—that
isolated nook where pugnacious politi
cians enter not and where the "bred
reri"are not tempted by the bewitching
inducements of the fifteenth Amend
ment. lie would rather view theyrafe
nessof the country from another stand
point. To make his election sure.
Barnes proceeds to the Mills and ap
propriates various and sundry articles
to his use, without the consent of the
owners, and contrary to the Acts of As
sembly in such case made and provi led.
Flour he taketh—for the soul and
hotly must be kept together—and the
sacks thereof lie eonverteth into neth
er garments.
To show what a bore he has deter
mined to be to thecommunity, hegob
bieth a two-inch auger.
He saw a saw and the owner saw it
no more till justice dragged it forth.
His appreciation of the "flight of
time" was beautifully illustrated in
that he aud a watch disappeared sud
denly together one morning.
All these things were taken at the
Mills, yet not one mill did he leave to
recompense the owners thereof.
Yet he pretended to act "on the
square," tor that article, too, was found
in his possession.
Barnes lias grievously sinned in the
light of the Freedmen's Bureau. He
is now reflecting on the weakness of
his race, in the county jail.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT PAINT.— In
China when a man is convicted of
stealing they paint his house black.
Is there a similar rule in operation
here, and has Bedford township been
convicted of stealing ? 1 f not, why are
the new School Houses of the town
ship painted black, or what is worse
a mongrel shade between brown and
black ! Did anybody in the world ev
er see a more detestable color than that
which disfigures the tine new School
Iloase near Chenoweth's?" Burns
styled the tooth-ache "the hell of all
diseases." What the tooth-ache is to
ail other diseases, the color of this
school house is to all other colors.
There is a nice new school house out
near Jacob Fetter's, four miles north east
oftown, which had not yet been painted
when I saw it last, a couple of weeks
ago. I hope the Directors, or the eon
tractor, or the painter, or whoever
may have the matter in hand, will see
that this building gets a coat of paint
whose color will not stand as a re
proach upon the taste of the people of
the towship.
As samples of well-selected color i
would refer to the Men gel House
and to Judge Hartley's barn in
Snake Spring township. Can't our
School Directors or the contractors who
build our school houses, display like
good taste with Hartley and Mengel?
Our School Houses should present a
a cheerful and tasteful appearance, and
not (like the one near Chenoweth's)
stand like dirty scabs on tiie beautiful
face of nature. PAINTBRUSH.

EDlTT t its G AZETTE : —Messieurs :
Since it has become the custom of
many writers to ventilate brief "biog
raphies" of "our members of the bar,'
through the columns of one of the "or
gans" of the county, I have ventured
(with trembling) to pen a few brief
sketches of "well-known characters,"
hoping that your readers may feel that
deep interest, in them which we all do
in the subjects of the aforementioned
screeds. My remarks shall not he con
fined to any particular profession, and
my characters will probably be recog
nized by nearly every reader of your
valuable sheet. To begin with, we
will Consider, briefly, the career of
HANS VON SUIIPIUKLEHECK-" Tramp
er,"
who, at the ripe old age of fifty-five,
don't "versteh Inglis,' " but ekes out
a comfortable livelihood by passing
through various parts of the world and
making observations. Hans don't
"trink Berliner 'weiss-bier,"oh, no! but
when the night comes on, seeks out
some deserted tenement, where he
builds his fire and leisurely composes
himself for his "nacht-lage." Morn
ing comes and discovers him accident
ally burned to such an extent that he
is obliged to be the "borough's guest"
for two or three mouths, when he go
eth on his way rejoicing. Mr. Von
S is a promising citizen, and we un
derstand intends seeking the nomina
tion for Protbonotary.
GIUSEPPE BATlllSTA—' "Musician"
is a well-known and admired charac
ter. Being of a very charitable dispo
sition, ids concerts are given "free of
charge but a minute specimen of hu
manity (?) almost invariably accompa
nies him, and succeeds in increasing
his master's store of pennies, by his
winning ways. The admiring crowd
which surrounds him, listen to his "me
lojus stranes" with open mouths and
"auribus erect is." The most singular
thing connected with Mr. B —— ? s
melody, is the fact that it isall contained
in a small cubical box, and requires
but one crank to produce many tunes.
We understand that he carries on a
thriving business, but his stay, in one
locality, is limited according to public
patronage.
S.MUH.Y MUULT RAL — the Pugilist,
is a most eloquent debater, although
his argument is nearly always of tin
"knock-down" order. He is a gradu
ate of the lleenan and Mayers" school,
and although somewhat averse to for
ensic pleadings, is yet a "rehiiner at
the bar," of which he is a liberal pui
rua. We do not know whether Me.
McU—— will ever attain a very high
position in the political world, but
hope that if he ever does "we may
be there to see."
Other Characters will he duly noticed
hereafter, as they rise or fall in public
esteem. Yours with tremor,

A distinguished Methodist Minister
and prominent Temperance Lecturer
once remarked that go where he would,
from one end of the country to theoth
er, he hardly ever failed to find PLAN
TATION BITTTRS, and while he con
demned the practice of using these Bit
ters too freely, he could not conscien
tiously say that he would discard them
from the side-board, for he had him
self experienced beneficial rbsults from
their use, and that, from a long and
close observation, he was convinced
that when used moderately, and as a
medicine exclusively, they were all
that was recommended. At the same
tirno he warned bis hearers not to pull
the cork too often, for they were far too
pleasant a tonic to trifle with.

Bkdford, May 8, 18S9.
I take great pleasure in giving my testimony to
the value of • Middleton s Wonderful Pain Cure."
I have been a martyr to Rheumatism For two
mouths 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 face, could not
comb my own hair, nor feed myself; but after
having the Pain Cure applied once, I found relief
enough to give me 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 comparatively free U3E of my bands, sleep
well and car. attend to business. It has done me
more good than all other medicines I have ever
used put together, and I cheerfully give this cer
tificate of its value.
ELf M. FISHER
BEDFORD, April 14, 1869.
Mr. W. W. Middleton,
This is to certify that I was taken with Rheu
inatisiu, in my right shoulder, on the evening of
the Bth inst., so that I was unable to raise my
hand to my ficc. I got some of your Pain Cure
and applied it twice, and was entirely relieved.
I would recommend to every one who suffers with
Rheumatism to give it a trial and be cured.
Yours Ac., A F.MILLER.
Btn FORD, May 17, 18<V
Mr. Middleton,
DEAH feiß — I have used several bottles of your
medicine in my family, and find it to be all you
claim for it. Yours, truly,
JOHN IIAFER.
BEDFORD, May IS, 1869.
This is to certify that I have used "Middleton's
Pain Cure," for Rheumatism, and was very much
benefited by it. JOHN HARRIS.
BEDFORD, May 13, 1369
This is to certify that I have used Middleton's
Liniment, fur the Rheumatism which I had in my
right shoulder so bad that I could not get my
hand to my head without great pain, and after a
few applications was entirely relieved.
L F. DART.
BEDFORD, May 1, 1869.
Mr Middleton.
Dear Sir : Mrs. Bowser was in much suffering
for some four weeks with Rheumatism, and got
some of your Pain Cure, and the first night I
applied it it eased the pain; and after keeping
on using it for two weeks, she was restored to
health. I feel it to be my duty, as it is a pleasure,
to write this recommendation for the benefit of
others. JACOB BOWSER.
BEDFORD, May 16 1869.
Mr W W Middleton :
sir—l procured a bottle of your Liniment for
Rheumatism, and it gives me great pleasure in
saying that after using it for two days, my rheuma
tism was completely relieved My sister was
suffering, at the same time, with Inflamatory
Rheumatism in her right baud and wrist—after
using it for several days she was relieved. I
consider it the best remedy I ever heard of.
JOHN KEEFE
BEDFORD, May 24, 1869
This is to certify that I have used one bottle of
Middleton's Liniment for Rheumatism, and think
it a good eure, and would recommend it to all per
sons that are afflicted with the above disease

BEDFORD, May 26, 1559.
Mr. Middleton :

ed a permanent cure up to this time. I cannot
hesitate in saying that it is the best remedy I ev
er used. A. B. CAitN.

On and after the first day of Juuc, 1869, I will

from whom I cannot oolleot present accounts.
All goods will be sold at übout 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 ap additional profit on their
own.
