11 uso RY. —One of the nasty "organs"
of radicalism, ofthiscounty, talks of de
feating the excellent ticket nominated
by the Democrats. Bah! "Polly wants
a cracker!"
The editor of the Fulton Democrat
lost his umbrella. Served him right.
What business has an editor to "sport"
so great a luxury as a "gingham um
brella."
DIED OF DYPTJIERIA.— Mr. Enoch
Hixon, near Emmaville, Fulton coun
ty, lost four children in four weeks, by
dyptheria. Mrs. Hixon narrowly es
caped death from the same disease.
ERRATUM.— In the County Sujierin

the phrase, "the less inexperienced"
should read "the leas experienced."
FESTIVAL.—A festival under the
auspices of the Schellsburg Lodge, No,

All are invited to attend.
■ •
Bedford has long since needed a first
class cigar and tobacco store. This want
has been fuiiy supplied by D. W.
Grouse, for at his Resort will be found
such a variety as was never beheld be
fore.
According to a law passed by the last
Legislature, all sewing machines be
longing to seamstresses are exempt

distress for rent.
Christian Albright, an old and re
spected citizen, aged about 72 years,

Monday last, the 11th inst.
BITTEN BY A COPPERHEAD.—A son
of Mr. Kanavels, about four years old,
was bitten on Saturday last, by one of
those venomous reptiles, but under the
efficient treatment of Dr. Trout, of this
place, bids fair to recover.— Fulton Re
publican.
SOME SNAKES.— The Mountain City
Tin,' Cumberland, says that a party
of workmen employed in barking trees
in that county near Gilpintown, have
killed the extraordinary number of
st rerifg-two rattlesnakes this spring.
There must be a good crop of snakes o
ver there, this year.
- -
DASTARDLY OUTRAGE. —We learn
lliat on last Sabbath some scaly scoun
drel-broke into the Bald Hill church, in
Snake Spring township and took vari
ous articles therefrom. The perpetra
tor- of this act of vandalism should be
ferreted out and punished to the full
extent of the law. This is the second or
third time that this church has been
robbed.
A RAN DALE HOUSE.— This pleasant
house has l>een greatly improved, in
;<)<• and out, since last season. The
proprietor, Mr. Joseph Alsip. has left
nothing undone that could add to the
comfort and convenience of his guests.
Visitors will find the Arandale a very
pleasant place to spend the summer
months.
FATAL ACCIDENT IN COLERAIN.—
< m last Thursday, at si barn raising, in
Colerain township, while the rafters
were being put up, one of them slipped
and struck Mr. Jonathan Diehl, knock
ing him to the ground and killing him
almost instantly. The day before a
I'. Kngland met with sin accident, at
'hi - uiie building, by which one of his
ankles was dislocated.
Am. is VANITY.— No doubt many
"four readers have often seen the time
when they could fully agree with Hans
Iheituian in saying:
"Oh, vol ish ail (lis earthly pliss ?
Oh, vot ish man's sooeksess '
Oh, rot ish various kinds of ding?
t'nd vot isb hahbines? '
Ve find a pank note in de shtreedt,
Next dings der pank ish preak ;
Ve foils, und knocks our outsides in,
VtjU ve a ten sbtrike make
"REGULATOR." —It is truly astonish
ing to see the rush to the "Regulator"
>inre the arrival of new goods at that
i'Suce. Irvine has succeeded in mak
ing the cash system, under which he
doing business, a perfect success.—
Be is selling the finest and cheapest
gmeerics to be had in Bedford. All
ho goods he sells cheap and fast.—
1 re is still room for more customers
and all are invited to call and see his
unrivalled stock of goods. "
SEVERELY INJURED.— We are sorry
to learn that on last Friday, Hugh
Moore, Esq., our candidate for county
Treasurer, was seriously injured, in the
following manner : he was leading a
horse to water when the animal reared
and struck hiin with such force as
to crush him to the ground. Mr.
Moore had his left shoulder knocked
out of place and sustained severe injur
ies in the back. Under the skillful
treatment of Dr. Reamer, we learn that
the injured man is improving.
NOTICE.— AII persons who have
found money supposed to have been
disposed of by the burglars of the hank
at Clearfield, either at the place of their
arrest or on their way from Centreville
to Bedford, who have not al-ready done
so, are requested to report the same to
Sheriff Steekman, or District Attor
ney E. F. Kerr, n or before Saturday
next, with proper affidavits to the fact
as the trial of defendants is expected to
take place, at Clearfield, next week.
D. W. MOORE,
Cash. o. Nat. Bank, Clearfield.
TOUCHINGLY TRUE. —The Mobile
Advertiser and Register says: "We do
not remember to have read a poein
more sweetly sympathetic and more
touchingly true, than the following.
It is brief, but its brevity detracts
nothing from its beauty. Let every
man who has a heart in his bosom,
every gentle matron who would have
a peaceful home, and every single man
who would "go and do likewise," see
what is
OWED TO PRINTERS.
When luckless printers stoop to credit,
And fiod too late that men won't pay —
What charms can soothe the scribes who edit ?
What art can wash the doubt away '
The only art their case can better,
To wring the money when 'tis due,
To give repentance to the debtor,
And wring his pockets—is to sue.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT. —We regret to
announce that our friend, Capt T. H.
Lyons, met with a very severe accident,
in Londonderry township, on Friday
last, and narrowly escaped with his life
The horse he was riding became un
manageable and ran away with him,
unhorsing the Captian and throwing
him with great violence against a tree.
His injuries are of a serious character,
and it will be some time before he will
be in a condition to he removed to his
home.

FOURTH OF JULY.— WiII Bedford
celebrate the 4th of July? That is a
question we hear asked frequently, but
no one seems to know enough about
it to give an affirmative answer. Ev
erywhere arrangements are being made
for the "glorious Fourth," while not a
word is said in favor of doing the same
here. Shall we have a good old fash
ioned time on "the day we celebrate,"
on not? That's the question. Let some
one move in this matter. We notice
that at most places, Saturday has been
fixed upon for the celebration, as the
4th comes on Sunday.
Tiie OTHER BURGLAR CAPTURED.
—We learn by the Clearfield Republi
can that the third member of the band
of bold burglars who robbed the Clear
field County National Bank, was ar
rested, last week, and lodged in the
Clearfield jail. He was secured in Sf.
Louis, by D, W. Moore, Esq., cashier
of the bank, and Mr. James Tracy, a
detective of that city. No money was
found on his person. He was arrest
ed at his house. His wife, who until
recently did not know, what kind of
business her husband was prosecuting,
is said to be an excellent woman and a
niece of Ex-Senator Henderson, of Mis
souri.
Cresson and Bedford Springs will be
opened for guests on the 15th Inst.
Hollidaysburg, a healthier, and pleas
anter, place than either, is open all the
time.—Hollidaysbu rg Sta nda rd.
That is the toughest piece of blowing
we have encountered for many a day,
Bro. Traugh. '"Hollidaysburga health
ier and pleasanter place than Bedford !"
Pshaw! You are only joking. The
keenest optics in the world could not
discover even the outlines of that point.
That Hollidaysburg is "open all the
time," there can be no doubt. So long
as health and pleasure seeking folks
have a place like Bedford to come to,
with her enchanting scenery, purest of
air and health-giving water*, Holli
daysburg, no doubt, will remain
"open" for all time to come.
CHURCH CONSECRATION IN FRIENDS
COVE.— Trinity Reformed Church of
Friends Cove, this county, was forma*
ly dedicated to the worship of the
Triune God, on Sunday, June 6th,
1869. The day wa charming and the
house was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity, and many were unable to ob
tain admittance. The services were
conducted according to the beautiful
Order of Worship of the Reformed
Church. The church edifice is certain
ly one of the finest and most handsome
in Bedford county. It is pleasantly
located on an elevation in what is termed
the lower end of Friends Cove, about
five miles south-east from Bedford, on
ground donated for the purpose by Mr.
Isaac Diehl. The building is' fifty-six
feet in length and thirty-five in
breadth. The audience chamber is
twenty feet in the clear, that is, from
floor to ceiling, and furnished with a
choir gallery. A sweet-toned 3leneoly
bell, weighing upwards of four hun
dred pounds, occupies a place in the
handsome cupola. The architects,
Messrs John Shafer, David Dibert and
Abraham Barnhart, as well as the pas
tor and membership of the congrega
tion, have cause for congratulation in
their success. The whole expense of
building and furnishing this truly
beautiful church, we learn, was less
than forty-five hundred dollars. On
the morning of consecration a debt of
nineteen hundred dollars was still res
ting upon it. This was fully provided
for, the offerings of the people amount?
ing to almost two thousand dollars.
The church was thus given to Vcn\,free
of debt, as should always be the case.
The pastor, the Rev. Wm. M. Deat
rick, was assisted in these solemn and
interesting services by the Rev. Dr.
Gerhart, Rev. H. Heckerman, Rev.
N. H. Sfcyles, and liev. C. U. lleil
man.

EDITORIAL JOY.— The editor of the
Clarion Democrat added eight paying
subscribers to his list and took in over
two hundred dollars worth of filthy lu
cre, in one week!
That was a printers' "take" not to
be sneezed at.
Whereupon the editor aforesaid be
cometh so elated that he imagines
himself immensely rich, and talks of
getting a power press and enlarging
his paper!
Talks about the "Clarion Notes" —
thereby meaning his greenbacks—and
becomes elevated to such a high key
generally, as to indite two lines of po
etry—regular square-toed, unmistaka
ble poetry of "dollars and dimes."
Just see what effect a little mon
ey has upon poor editors!
They cannot stand the pressure of a
sudden greenback inflation.
They are not equal to the emergen
cy, and when it coineth they are over
whelmed, muchly.
We were overcome, the other day,
at the sight of a few stamps which a
friend had borrowed to make his "ends
meet."
But the stamps did not come over to
us, and the sequel was sadness.
We once heard of a man who was so
deeply affected by suddenly becoming
possessed of a large sum of money that
he drew himself away from it by means
of a cord !
The "cords of money" were too ma
ny for him and a constitutional weak
ness made him Hop.
We have no instance to record of an
editor being similarly affected.
Such glorious sigh's are hidden from
their eyes.
Perhaps it is well that this is thusly,
for an editor is human and "a man for
a' that."
But to think ! An editor getting
through the third sand rock with the
pick of patient perseverance and stri
king—two hundred dollars!
Verily, there is joy in the sanctum
when dunned delinquents rally to the
rescue of the poorly paid printer!
How the heart of the printer leapetli
with joy at the sight of a farthing that
is honestly due him !
All printers are proverbially honest.
Early "impressions" have made them
so.
It a "rule" with them that is never
broken, neither is the type thereof ever
knocked into "pi."
To ouit DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS.
—Weask our subscribers, everywhere,
to oblige us by the prompt payment of
their accounts. Our business is all
cash, and that, in almost every in
stance, in advance. Will not those
wlto havo taken the paper from Aug.
1865, 1866, 1867 and IS6S, see the im
portance of paying for it, as we have
earned our money, and not only need
it, but must have it. By referring to
our terms on the first page of tfie GA
ZETTE and the yellow slip of paper
pasted on their paper every week with
their name and date, (which gives the
month and year their paper is paid to),
shows at once how much is due us,
which amount they should at once
pay into the office, or remit us by
mail, without delay. Every man who
takes our paper and has not paid,
knows that he justly owes for it, and
should not .subject the proprietors to
the trouble and expense of sending,
writing or dunning him, but should
and would if he were morally honest,
take pleasure in doing as ho would
others should do unto him.
Friends, we appeal to your sense of
honor, on the principle, that the inbor
er is worthy of his hire.
DOUBLY-DYED DEMONS. —Through
the aid of 11. E. Thayer, Supt. Dink
erton's National Detective Agency,
Phila., the city authorities of Altoona
have ferreted out the existence of a
secret oath-bound organization in that
city, composed of rude ruffians and
burly blackguards joined together for
the purpose of destroying property.
The Vindicator says, "developements
of the most astounding character have
been made, and yet more startling are
expected." A number of arrests have
been made and parties, in default of
heavy bail, have been lodged In jail,
Members of one of the fire companies
are implicated. This disclosure ac
counts for the many fires that have
occurred in that city of late. We have
always thought iho destructive con
flagrations in that place were to bp
attributed to causes other than those
of mere accident. We hope thescoun
drels will meet with proper punish
ment.
44 Where is DrakeS. T. 1860 X?"
We have heard this question asked
many times, and for all we knew for a
year past he might be dead. Recent
ly, in New York, we called at his Lab
oratory in Liberty St., and there found
this gentleman barricaded behind a
tremendous pile of boxes distributing
funds to a Sunday School Committee.
Our business was to secure an adver
tisement. He said: "3ly dear sir,
what is the use of advertising the
plantation Bitters? They sell better
now than when I advertised at such
enormous expense, and now I have not
made a contract for a year. I have all
this amount to give to the poor. To sat
isfy the Press, however, who have al
ways been my friends, I think I wid
give you a little something to doagain,
for I have improved the Bitters great
ly, and it may be well to have you let
the people know it." And so lie ran
on in a happy, cordial, appreciative
manner, showing us the wonders of his
place and the cords of certificates.
Everything is on a magnificent scale,
and is done witli neatness and prompt
ness. While there we saw at least for
ty orders come in for these celebrated
Bitlers. Cases were being shipped to
the,four corners of tiie world. Drake
js not dead, nor his Bitters either. — Fr

MIDDLETON'S
W O N D E R FV L P A I N CURE*
A sure remedy for Rheumatism, Neuralgia. Lum

This wonderful remedy is composed entirely of
vegetable ingredients. There are no injurious
substances used in its manufacture.
For assurance of its excellent properties, road
the following certificates
BEDFORD, May 8, 18S9.
I take great pleasure in giving tny testimony to
the vHltte of "Midiileton's Wonderful Pain Cure.''
I have been a martyr to Rheumatism For two
months previous to Feb. 2ith, last, 1 was suffering
intensely with pain so severe, tbat 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 alter
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 use of my hands, sleep
well and can 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.
EW M. EIsHER.
BEDFORD, April 14, 1869.
Mr. W W. Middleton,
This is to certify that I was taken with Rheu
matism, in my right shoulder, on the evening of
the Bth inst., so that I was unable to raise my
hand to my f ice. I got some of your Pain Cure
and applied it twice, and was entirely relieved.
I would recommend to every one who suffers with
Kheumatism to give it a trial and be cured.
Yours Ac., A F.MILLER.

DKAH SIR —I fiase used several bottles of your

This is to certify that I have used ''Middleton's
Pain Cure," tor Rheumatism, and was very much
benefited by it JOHN HARRIS.
BEDFORD, May 18, 1869
This is to certify that I have used Middleton's
Liniment, for 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 Rhoumatisin, and got
some of your Pain Cure, and the first night I
applied it it eased the pain, and alter 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 :
Bir—l procured a bottle of your Liniuicnt 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 tho same time, with Inflamatory
Rheumatism in her right hand and wrist—after
using it for several days she was relieved. I
consider it the best remedy I ever heard of.
JOHN KEEPS
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 cure, and would recommend it to all per
sons that are afflicted with the above disease.
AUGUSTUS CARVER.
BEDFORD, May 26, 1869.
Mr. Middleton :
Sir —I procured one bottle of your medicine and
used one-half of it for Rheumatism, which effect
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. CARS,
This excellent PAIN CURE is prepared only by
