The iron manufacturers to wlioin these specimens have been sub- 1 nutted pronounce them hematite and ! pipe ore of the best quality, which they ' say, will "melt like butter in a fur- j naee." Bedford county teems with untold ! mineral wealth, and all that is needed, is n little enterprise to develop the ! same. vV hen once we have a railroad I . through our county, furnaces and red ling mills will spring up like magic, | and the inexhaustible beds pf ore that f are found in every direction will be i converted into the best ofJqrou. But | so long as we are without' the facility of conveying these ores-^-either in their raw or in their manufactured state— into market, they wfii be of no earth ly netoent toany6ne. What we want and We must have, is a railroad. ] CUMBERLAND VALLEY IN 18<)S. — Our mercantile friend, D. R.

DIG SPEECH BY BIG-HAM! Granny Govode, at the instance of Gory Geary, had issued his "supple mentary" to the Radicals of Bedford county to assemble in mighty "Mass Meeting;" courriyrs had hastened on swift steeds to the hamlets of the faith ful ; flaming placards had been scatter ed to the four winds of heaven, invi ting the people to come to this place and hearken to the champions of the "humbugged est." Tuesday evening came, and with it the most miserable failure of a "mass meeting" ever seen in Bedford. The "big injun" of the evening was a paid slanderer of Asa Packer, surnamed Big-ham—Durham —or "any other man," who boasted that he was a rel ative of John A. Bingham of Ohio. (We pity the Ohio fellow.) Our spe cial reporter took down bis speech on the spot, and we give it below for the benefit of those who had not the pleas ure of hearing it: " Mr. President—fellow citizens of Bedford co.—l'm no stranger to you— though we have never seen each other before- my name is Big-ham—in the first place—Asa Packer—Registry law —Revenue tax—copperhead—silver- plate—door k nob —$8.95 —dem —dem— copperhead—fraud—tax—copperhead —Grant— copperhead—rebel —Geary— Kansas —Mexico —ditch—Jonn Cessna —Patriot— Schuylkill county- Gazette —J oh n Cessna—rebel —Bigham —cop perhead-—Asa Packer—sB.95 —2 gold watches—ah—ah —I almost forgot 15th amendment—(Here the speaker in a very boisterous and blasphemous man ner shouted, "By God, 1 would rather vote with a black man than with a cop perhead." The speaker then took his seat in a "lather of sweat," and his hearers has tily adjourned in disgust. "Our mem ber" who had been sketching the out lines of a brilliant harangue on the crown of his shining beaver, was left "alone in his glory," and the other speakers will be obliged to reserve what they had intended to say on this "big occasion" for some other day. We would advise our radical friends when next they import a speaker, to secure the services of one who uses de cent language and knows how to ad dress a Bedford county audience. Let Big-ham do it "more so." He can't swallow more than one "copperhead" at a gulp. IN A BAD CONDITION,— The Lu theran and Reformed grave-yard which has been used for many years by the Reformed and Lutheran con gregations of this place and the sur rounding country, is at present in a disgraceful condition, and should re ceive immediate attention from those who have friends or relatives buried there. The fences are bokeu down, and by night and by day, this hallow ed spot is a rendevous for all the cat tle and hogs that are runningat large. If this matter is not speedily attended to, there will be nothing left to mark the resting place of those who are sleeping silently in the "city of the dead." If those interested would con tribute a small amount, eitherin mon ey or lumber, the place would soon a gain look as itshould. Respect for the memory of the "departed ones" should prompt immediate action. Persons wishing to contribute to this laudable object, can do so by calling on Rev. F. Benedict. I A WORD FOR LOCAL NEWSPAPERS.— : We clip the following from the New | York Tribune. It is true, and we com | mead it to every one who has an inter j est in where he resides : Nothing is more common than to \ hear people talk of what they pay newspapers for advertising, Ac., as so much given in charity. Newspapers, by enhancing the value of property in their neighborhood, and giving the localities in which they are published a reputation abroad, benefit all such, particularly if they are merchants or real estate owners, thrice the amount yearly of the meager sum they pay for their support. Besides every pub lic spirited citizen has a laudable pride in having a paper of which he is not ashamed, even though he should pick it up in New York or Washington. A good-looking, thriving sheet, helps property, gives character to lo cality, and in many respects, is a desi rable public convenience. If from any cause the matter in the local or edito rial column should not be to your stand ard, do not cast it aside and pronounce it good for nothing, until satisfied that there has been no more labor bestow ed upon it than is paid for. If you want a good readable sheet it must be supported. And it must not bo sup ported in a spirit of charity either, but because you feel a necessity to support it. The local press is the power that moves the people. The Orthodox Quakers of this country number 54,000. They have 755 churches that furnish sitting for | 259,000 persons. Isaac Fowler, the defaulting New York postmaster, has arrived at San Francisco. He has been an exile from his country nearly twelve years.
