Judge Find lay, our candidate for
Senator, and J. J. Hoffman, JE*q., ed
itor of the Somerset Democrat , paid us

"Dot us have peace."
ELOCUTIONA RV ENTERTAIN M EXT.—

ACCIDENTS. —Mrs. Catharine Trick
er, Stonerstown, met with an accident
while going to church on a hand-car,
last Sunday. Her loot was badly hurt,
and the amputation of a toe was found
necessary.
On Monday, while Mr. Miles Putt,
near Sax ton, was mending a sled, it
fell, breaking his arm.
To help the waning and utterly
hopeless cause of Geary, some radicals
are representing that the "Humbug
gedest' f if elected will help build our
railroad. We don't believe a wor dof it.
"Hans" no doubt has made enough
out of legislative "jobs" to build a
small railroad, but he has not enough
enterprise in him to invest a dollar in
that line.
Persons attending Court next week
can have an opportunity of calling at
the Inquirer Ilook Store and examin
ing the following blanks: Blank re
ciepts for the use of Treasurers of
School Districts and justices receipts
for Couuty taxes, executions, war
rents, subpcenas, summonses. All
kinds of blanks for school directors,
judgment notes, deeds, marriage cer
tificates, &c.
SENATORIAL.—The Radical County
Committee met at the Washington
Hotel, on Saturday last, and unani
mously passed a resolution requesting
Aleck Stutzman to withdraw as a can
didate for Senator, anil pledging the
hearty support of Bedford county to
any other radical for that office that
Somerset may name. This irrepressi
ble conflict is hard on Stutzy. Wheth
er he will IK? able to stand the pres
sure, a few days will show. But all
this is "love's labor lost." Hiram
Findlay is the "coming man." He
will just merely "walk over the track."
Rings and radicals must "stand from
under."
We return thanks to those of our
patrons who, during the last few weeks,
had the dates opposite their names on
the yellow slip ojpaper pasted on their
"GAZETTE" changed to J aug. 70,
Ac., by paying the printer his just
dues. There is still a large number of
our subscribers who owe us from 1 aug
Go, J aug GG, 1 augG7, 1 aug GSand oth
er dates, to whom wo would he obli
ged if they would pay us, as we stand
greatly in need of money at this time.
Come, friends, pay over the amount
you owe us so as to enable us to pay
those whom we owe.
HAN, ROAD MEETING.— On Wednes
day evening, Sept. 29, an important
railroad meeting will le held in the
court house. Hon. James Worrall,
a distinguished engineer, and Presi
dent of the South Pennsylvania
Railroad Company will be present to
submit certain propositions to the
people of J ted ford county, for the con
struction of a railroad to this place.
We cannot too strongly urge the at
tendance at said meeting of ail parties
who feel an interest in this matter.
It is not necessary for us to dwell upon
I the importance of early action upon a
! question so vital to the interests of our
! citizens. Every man in this commu
nity knows and feels that we should
: have a railroad to this place. We be
lieve that there is a disposition among
capitalists in other sections of the state
to assist us in developing the resources
of our county, and it only remains for
us to show that we are willing and
ready to help ourselves first. Let the
meeting on the 29th prove that we are
! in earnest, and then the time will soon
1 come when we will cease talking rail
road, hut will have the thing itself
with all its advantages and benefits.
Action js now the word.
The London Telegraph says that if
America recognizes" the independence
of Cuba because she cannot remain in
different to the struggles of a friend I j
people, the world will regard it as a
conspicuous exculpation of England
from responsibility to America in the
matter of the late Southern Confedera
cy.
An Arkansas man asks you to im
bibe by saying, "shoot me in the
neck." If you refuse, he shoots you
through the head.

Messrs I*. H. Drake & Co., proprie
tors of the Plantation Bitters, are said
to be the largest importers of St. Croix
Rum and Calisaya Bark in America.
The Rum imported by this Firm, is
all used in the preparation of their Bit
ters, and is manufactured under the
immediate supervision of one of their
agents, upon leased plantations on the
Island of St. Thomas. Over nine
thousand puncheons, about one mil
lion gallons, is used annually for their
Bitters alone. The Calisaya Bark is
all imported from Brazil, and is also
gathered and selected by the natives,
under the supervision of an agent sent
out for that porpose. The cures pro
duced by these Bitters are wonderful.

The subject of this notice is worthy of more
than a mere passing remark. She was one of
those who are ornaments to their sex and who
are the excellent of the earth. She was on a
visit to her parents where she expected to spend a
few weeks, in the pleasurable engageinont ol the
scenes and the associations of her cbibUiood and
youth. But, (howstrange the ways of Providence.)
whilst on the way, she was pierced by a fatal
arrow of disease, and aftor many weeks of intense
suffering which was borne with an entire resig
nation to the will of God, she was called home to
her Father's house in Heaven, in the 26th year
of her age. She has left her sorrowing husband,
ber interesting infant daughter, her family and a
Urgs circle of friends and relations to mourn
her early departure of this life. She was a sincere
and intelligent Christian In her youth she made
a profession of faith in Christ and united with the
Reformed Church at Bedferd, to which her pa
rents belonged. After her marriage, she with
her husband, united with the Lutheran Church at
Cumberland, where she soon gathered around her
many warm and admiring friends. She always
adorned her profession with her sonsistent walk
and conversation. Though she has now gone, yet
she has left the rocord of a spotless life and the
influence of her many virtues, as a rich legacy, to
comfort and cheer the hearts of those who ujouia
for her.
