AN APPEAR.— We clip the follow
ing "touching appeal" from an Eng
lish paper, and commend it to our own
subscribers, who are in arrears, for
their consideration :
Withhold not good from them to whom it is
. when it is in the poirer of thine hand to do
"We are greatly in need of money
just now in order to meet our paper
bills and other liabilities, and as tiiere
are thousands of dollars due the
office from subscribers, we would kind
ly, but earnestly, ask all who are in ar
rears to remit immediately , if possible, a
part at least of their indebtedness."
Say not unto thy neighbor, "'ro ami come a
im, and to-morrow ! will giee thee;'' when
on ha.it it by thee.'''
How MUCH OWEST TIIOU?— The
date opposite the name on the paper is
the time to which the subscriber has
paid ; and means that the subscription
year expired with that date (whatever
the date may be), and as our terms are
tiro dollars a year in advance, or with
in six months, and two dollars and fifty
rents if not paid within six months,
each one can thus easily determine the
present condition of his account, with
this office. How much owest thou?"
Woe unto him that uteth her neighbor's srr
ivithont wages, andgivrth hi m not for his
Peaches promise to be plenty in this
county.

If you wish to secure a county seat

We have seen sweet strawberries, but
they were too far off to be properly ap

The crops are in a flourishing condi

The radicals are wasting their sweet

gudgeon bait as that.
Hartley A Metzger are really the
only Agents in Bedford for the sale ef

The roof of the Jackson House,

Strange, sartling stories are told of
some of our young ladies. They have

distant day, is thought quite probable.

The Huntingdon G'tofje says: "the
spirit of enterprise is on the increase

PRIZE FlGHT.— There was a regular
pugilistic demonstration of the "manly
art of self defense," at Bloody Run,
last week. The affair grew out of a
dispute about an old ram. It proved
to be rather a sheepish fight.

Methodist Episcopal Church in this

TAN.— Tan may be removed from
the face by mixing magnesia in soft
water to the consistency of paste,
which should then be spread on the
face and allowed to remain a minute
or two. Then wash off with eastile
soap suds, anil rinse with soft water.

'lhe Radicals have not only learn
ed to "jump Jim Crow," but they have
swallowed a full Hedged "rebel" Crowe,
spit him on radical ground, and
given him a fat office for his subservi
ency. Rather rough for radicals, but
cunning in Crowe.
GONE TO CLEARFIELD.— Quite a
number of persons from this place and
Cumberland Valley started for Clear
field on Monday, as witnesses in the
case of the bank robbers, whose trial
takes place this week. District Attor
ney Kerr, Sheriff Steckman and Depu
ty Huzzard are with the party.
On the 7th inst., a little daughter of
Mr. Robison, of Duncansville, came
to her untimely death from the effects
of poison which had been mixed with
butter and spread on bread for the
purpose of killing rats. Two of the
little girls found the bread and ate it—
one died and the other is lying in a
critical condition.
RADICAL RAFFLE. —The raffle for
radical nominations in Somerset coun
ty came off on last Saturday week, and
resulted as follows:—Senator, Alex.
Stutzrnan; Representative, B. F. Long;
Prothonotary, Dennis Myers; Register,
1). J. Horner; Treasurer, \V. B. Cof
froth; Sheriff, Ex-sheriff Josiah Sha
fer; Commissioner, Jon. Dumbold;
Poor Director, A. Woy; Auditor, H.
Fox.
COMPLIMENT TO CANDIDATES.—
The Indiana Democrat , after saying,
"the democracy of Bedford county
have nominated an excellent ticket,"
pays the following high compliment to
our candidate for Sheriff:
The nomination of that unflinching
Democrat, Win. Keyser, for Sheriff,
pleases us immensely. A better Dem
ocrat and a more honorable man does
not live in that county, and we expect
to hear of his election 'by a handsome
majority. We congratulate Mr. Keyser
on his good fortune, and the party that
they have so worthy a candidate.
SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.— We read of
a painter, who recently got off a good
joke on the inquisitive, by putting a
placard on a building which he was
painting, with the following words:
Answers to all questions. —Building
red. Sashes Blue. Bricks to be pen
ciled-if the money holds out. Only one
coat. Hudson, painter.
As a joke, this is not bad, and some
thing similar might relieve men of all
pursuits from answering many inqui
ries.
MENGEL HOUSE IMPROVEMENT.—
Mr. Isaac Mengel, the enterprising pro
prietor of the "Mengel House," on Ju
liana street, has made vast improve
ments to his well known public bouse.
The outside of the building has receiv
ed a coat of beautiful paint; two elab
orate arched doorways have been put
up, in which are hung lamps that are
ornamental as well as useful. The in
ternal improvements are of a superior
kind. A new dining room has been
fitted up which is a model of taste
and convenience. The bar room has
been remodeled, and the old dining
room converted into a billiard
room, and two excellent tables,
one a carom and the other a four pock
et, have been placed in it. The whole
house has undergone a complete
change, and externally and i nternally
is scarcely recognized as the same old
place. Mr. Mengel deserves the credit
of the community, as well as that of
the traveling public, for the spirit of
enterprise manifested in the improve
ments made. We understand that Mr.
Mengel is about erecting a new billiard
room, as the present place proves too
small for two tables. When the new
building is completed, the bar room
will be put in the present billiard
room and the former will be fitted up
for a gentlemen's reading room. The
Mengel House will then be one of the
best arranged and most comfortable
hotels in the country.
DARING DASH OF DEVILTRY.—Cat
tIe Captured by Cunning Cusses.—The
Thieves Taken in Time.—On last Satur
day evening the boldest piece of pilfer
ing that was ever attempted in this
county, was committed within three
miles of this place. The facts as we
can gather them are about these: on
Friday, officer Defibaugh received a
telegram that two valuable horses had
been stolen in an adjoining county, and
that ho should look out for the thieves.
The next day two suspicious looking
characters were seen loatingubout town,
and Mr. Defibaugh watched their move
ments closely. lie communicated
these facts to Sheriff Steckman, who,
together with Deputy Huzzard, kept
an eye on the maneuvers of the stran-
J©.esi£®n?!Ci 3srsifoya > pa,,
gers. Mr. S. S. Fleegel was employed
by tlie officeis to act as a decoy, and
how well he inauaged his part of the
business, the sequel shows. He got in
with the strangers at once, and drew
from them all their plans. Every
thing being arranged, the two with
Fleegel, started in the direction of the
Springs, a little before sun-down.
When they got near the Arandale
House, one of the strangers went into
a field and caught a horse, but as the
auimal did not appear to suit his taste,
he let him go again. The party halt
ed at the Springs for a short time, and
there Fleegel had the first opportunity
to send wort! to the officers of the in
tentions of the scoundrels. From
thence they proceeded to the farm of
Mr. John Shoemaker, of this place,
and took therefrom thirty head of cat
tle. One of the party espied a horse
in a field close by and he at once cap
tured him, made a hickory bark bridle,
and rode him off. The horse belonged
to Mr. Geo. A. Smith, of the "Grove."
The cattle were then driven, at a brisk
rate, in the direction of Cumberland,
where they were to be sold next day,
by a "pal" who was waiting for his
thieving confederates. Buttheir game
was speedily spoiled. Sheriff Steek
man having received the word sent by
Fleegel, he, with deputy Huzzard, of
ficer Defibaugh, and others, started in
pursuit and overhauled the party at
Mr. Samuel Boor's, about eight miles
from town, where they were luxuria
ting 011 a crock of milk stolen from the
spring house. They were arrested,
brought to town and lodged in jail.
They had a hearing before Justice Nic
odemus, next morning, and were re
manded to prison, where they will in
all probability remain till September
sessions. These audacious adepts—for
such they no doubt are—had various
projects on hand. If they had not suc
ceeded with the cattle, they had made
up their minds to look after the inter
ests of our banks and had a covetous eye
on the County Treasury. Their nefa
rious business has been stopped for a
while, we hope.
And he did many wonderful works,
insomuch that his name was pronoun
ced in many tongues. And there came
unto him, Judith, from the seaport of
New Bedford, who has been sick for
many years: and after some days her
pains were gone. She slept soundly,
and did rejoice in eating her food.
And Asa, from those which are called
Quakers, in the great city of Philadel
phia, wrote an epistle saying: O, Doc
tor! accept thou this money which
is called greenbacks, and hath the pict
ure of Abraham, thy friend, on one
end. For verily I was weak, exhaus
ted and despondent; I ate but little,
and suffered many pains, and thy
PLANTATION BITTERS gave me health,
likened only unto the vigor of youth.
And upon such as are afflicted with
liver complaint, with sour stomach,
with general debility and dyspeptic
pains, in all parts of the land did these
Bitters produce astonishing cures.

A colony of Japanese has purchased
a large tract of land in one of the coun
ties of California, and preparations are
being made for its immediate occupa
tion and cultivation. At the rate at
which the population of the Golden
State has been increasing for a twelve
month past, in consequence of the im
mense influx of Chinese and Japanese,
it bids lair shortly to rival some of the
leading Eastern States in the number
of its people. Whether the Celestials
are the kind of folks wanted by the
Californians, is a matter in regard to
which the public are not yet informed ;
but we presume not.
From Hayes City reports come of In
dian outrages and murder in the vicin
ity of Minneapolis. Captain Weir left
Fort Hayes yesterday with an escort,
taking forty male and female Indian
prisoners to be delivered to their res
pective tribes from Fort Supply, this
course is resorted to for the purpose of
making peace with the tribes on the
war path.
It has been discovered that the grand
fiddle-de-de and rub-a-dub-dub at the
hub of the Universe is gotten up as a
money-making dodge, and not as a
celebration for the restoration of peace
and Union. Of course it will attract
thousands, and the people and business
men of the hub will be benefited in a
great measure, and after the perform
ance is concluded and the big drum
and artillery laid away, the visitors
will return to their homes singing,
"Let us have peace."
The first of the new and improved
greenback paper has been delivered
from the Pennsylvania mills. The pa
per is what is known as the French
silk variety, aud through its fibers run
threads of red and blue colors. The
first issue of the new money will prob
ably be ready on the first of July. All
of the present issues of legal-tenders
and fractional currency notes will be
called in as rapidly as possible.

1861. Shortly after coming west, sickness invaded
the precincts of his quiet home, and after several
years physical sufferings executed its mission
upon a kind husband and father As such his
superior is seldom if ever found No unkind
words escaped his lips, none knew him but to love
him. But he has gone—left a wife and two cbil
dren, father and mother, brothers and sisters, and
a large number of relatives and friends to mourn
his loss.
Truly, many hearts are saddened by this be
reavement- Yet beloved friends your loss is his
gain. While you weep over his tomb he reposes
in tho home of his Savior God and basks in the
raptures of his infinite love Although racked
with the most excruciating physical suffering, yet
his doath-bedwas placid and radiant with triumph
and faith, trusting in childlike confidence in God.
Ho wag followed to the grave by a large eoncourso
of people, relatives and friends. And we laid
hiui in his naryow house in hope of a future life at
the resurrection, and that the trumpet may soon
sound which shall wake the sleeping millions of
God's faithful ones
Sweetly sleep, departed husband,
In the quiet grave go low,
Sweeter fur than this, another
Lite immortal thou shaft know.
Long thy memory wc will cherish
As a saored, holy thing,
Thy last farewell shall not perish,
But will sad remembrance bring.

me, but I flatter myself that it will he only those
from whom I oannot collect present accounts.
All goods wilt be sold at about one-half the
profit now paid by consumers. The people often
oomplain of Bedford prices being higher than else

the reason that good customers have had to pay
