Too POOKTO TAKE A NEWSPAPER.
—The poorest man to be met with, es

man who is too poor to take a nevs
pajier. We pity such a man, especial
ly if he is a man of property. Who
ever heard of a man too poor to smoke
or chew tobacco, if addicted to either
habit ? And yet men who spend from
fifteen to twenty-five cents a day for
"the weed" are too poor to take a
newspaper, in the intellectual enjoy
ment of which their families might
participate. Really such men are poor.
They are objects of pity.
ANOTHER LECTURE.— The fourth cf
a series of temperance lectures was de
livered in the court house, on Monday
evening last, by the Rev. R. F. Wilson.
As usual the house was crowded to
overflowing. The lecture was pro
nounced an able effort by all who were
fortunate enough to hear it. Bedford
must have popular lecturers, or the
subject of temperance must be eliciting
more than ordinary interest, for we
never knew a series of public meetings
in this place that drew such houses.
GROUND HOG DAY.— Last Wednes
day the 2nd inst., was "ground hog

saw his shadow, if he emerged from
his hiding place at all. According io
Use Oni notion we are to have cold win
try weather for six weeks from that
time. Since the 2nd the weather has
been as fair as was ever seen in this
latitude in w-inter, but at the present
writing—Tuesday morning—we have
a ihree foot snow, and still falling The
"ground hog sign" will not be a fail
ure, after all, we think.
"Cleansing the Blood," upon which
charlatans have harped so much, is

ther known that some subtle sub-tan
ces de-troy or expel them. These sub
stances have been combined to make

and rankle in the blood to rot out as it
were the machinery of life.—Mercer

"PUFFERS" AT PUBLIC SAI.ES.— In
Chester county. Judge Butler recent
ly gave a decision settling the question
of bidders or "puffers" at public sales.
A suit was brought to recover 11,6450n
a note given as the purchase money of
real estate. A gentleman who had
purchased property at the public sale
anil given his note for the money,
learned afterwards that there were
present at ihe time bidders or "puf
fers," and he refused to take the prop
erty. The Judge decided that if a par
ty procure men to bid up property, and
the person who buys is deceived there
by, he cannot be held to his bid. as it
vitiates the sale and makes it void.
A PARTING WORD.— We have
grown tired of printing duns in this
shaj**. Our friends in arrears are
proof against all suvh rnis>iles. \5 e
have, therefore, concluded to try a dif
ferent plan, of which due notice is
hereby given. We are now sending to
each delinquent subscriler a statement
of his account, with the proposition
that if it be paid by Feb. 19, 1870, a
certain deduction will be made. If not
paid by that time, full rate* will be
charged, payment enforced by lair, and
the paper discontinued in aU east* of
more than one year'* arrearage. Up
wards of ten thousand d'Alars of unpaid
subscriptions and advertising have ac
cumulated oo our books during the
last five years. This is a load we can
not carry any longer. Will our friends
assist u in lightening it, or must we
summon to our ai that vexatious and
detestable instrumentality, The Lau-1
LITERARY.— the following practical
and interesting questions were lately
discussed by "The Independent Deba
ting Society of Buyer's School," in an
adjoining county :
"Resolved: That a cross and cleanly
woman is preferable to a dirty and
good uatured woman."
' Beeotred: That a preacher eats
more chickens than a fox."
Well, that will do. That "debating
society" should be turned into a Soro
sis at once. Fortune telling with "cof
fee grounds" should be practiced.—
Chicken bone breaking, for luck, (
should be ioduiged in. Broomstick
gymnastics, in company with a "dirty !
****• PU
but good natured woman" should be
exercised liberally. Lectures, rt la
Mrs. Caudle, should be delivered by 'a
cross and cleanly' female, with strong
minded proclivities. Anything to keep
up the fun, boys.
COURT BUSINESS. —In examining the
records of the Prothonotary's office, we
find 405 cases on the Continuance Dock
et for February Terui, 1870. This has
kept the new Prothonotary busy at his
post. Bubwhile that officer has been
kept moving, the Sheriff has not been
idle, for we find that 124 executions
have been placed in his hands since he
took eharge of that office. This is the
largest amount u! business done in eith
er office—with a few exceptions as to
the Sheriff—for twenty six years, for
at the August Term, 1843, the Con
tinuance Docket reached 532, while
the number of writs executed by Sher
iff MeVieker was 200. The amount of
business done in the Prothonotary's of
fice is a sure barometor of the financial
atmosphere, and as monetary matters
are exceedingly depressing and with no
fiat lei ing judications of Improvement
for some time to come, we may reason
ably look for more entries on the
Dockets, more executions by the Sher
iff, and more pecuniary distress gener
ally. Surely the present is a sad com
mentary on the "good times" which
were promised to the people on the ad
vent to power of the present radical re
gime. We are afraid t ey w ill fail to
it iu that light.
PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOI S.--Two
deaths,one at Chicago and the oti er in
New York State, have resulted lately
from whippings in school, and suits
have been instituted against teachers
in various pa its of the country for se
verely flogging children under their
charge! It seems that the "spare the
rod and spoil the child" doctrine,
which originated a long time ago, is
still pertinaciously adhered to in this
enlightened age and country, notwith
standing it has been shown that chil
dren in. schools, at least can be more
advantageously managed by means of
other than eorjsoral punishment.—
Whatever argument may be urged in
favor of Solomon's doctrine, it should
be practis-d, if practiced at ali, by the
parents of the offending juvenile.
Few men or women are willing to
have their children beaten by strangers,
however they may delight in beating
them themselves. It might be shown,
we think, that flogging children at ali
has a brutalizing tendency and engen
ders in the youthful heart far more of
evil passion than i expels. It is gen
erally inflicted in anger, or from a re
vengeful feeling, and evil must beget e
vil. There may l>e instances in which
corporal punishment is necessary and
beneficial, but in most cases other pun
ishments might lie substituted with ad
vantage to ail concerned. There can
benoquestion that excessive flogging is
brutal, as well as brutalizing, and
ought not to be tolerated even when
administered by a parent : certainly
not when done by a stranger.
Corporal punishment has long been
entirely banished from the public
schools of Philadelphia which are a
uaong the b*s-t and best governed in the
world, and we see no reason why it
should not be banished from the
schools of all othir cities and school
districts. Human mature is about the
same everywhere, and what answers
so well in Philadelphia would an
swer equally well in other parts of the
world. It Is far better to stimulate
than mortify the proper pride of a
child, and better to win than to alien
ate its affections. If one be found per
fectly incorrigible under proper treat
ment, it is not likely that it could l>e
reformed by means of physical torture.
The best way to di-pose of such chil
dren is to banish them from the
schools.
HYMENEAL.— Our friend 'Jenkins,'
who was there, gives the following
| description of the wedding party
at Bloody Run, last week. Hear him :
"Bloody linn was the scene, last
j evening, of one of the most brilliant
weddings known U) our community.
' The occasion was the marriage of 1). S.
i Elliott, E-q., editor of the 'Bedfurd
■ County Pres-,' to Miss Rebecca Harris,
| daughter of Josiah Harris, B*}., all of
j bloody Run. The parties were mar
| ried at the'Barndoliar' M. E church,
at 7 o'clock, P. M., by Rev. G. W.
Van Fossen, assisted by Rev. Wm. M.
Deatrick. The church was densely
crowded long before the hour fixed for
the ceremony, and at precisely 7 o'-
clock the bride and groom, attended
by Miss Anna Barndoliar, of Wood
bury, bridesmaid, and Dr. F. M. Mas
ters, of Bloody Hun, groomsman, ap
peared before the aitar. We taiuld not
do justice to the elegant appearance of
1 the bridal party at the altar, and as we
! are too much of an old bachelor to veu
j ture into a description of dress, we will
I content ourselves by saying that every
! article of dress was of the most appro
i ved, uo,t!y and elegant style. After
| the ceremony the parly returned to
the residence of the bride's father,
I where they received the eongratula
i tions of some two hundred invited
! guests, and then repaired to the dining
i hall, where a supper, such only as a
| skillful caterer could prepare, was
spread before us. Everything that the
Eastern markets could afford was a
bundantly served, to which uedid am
ple justice. When supper wasdisposed
of, the party returned to the parlors,
and were entertained with vocal and
i instrumental music; quite a number,
however, preferred "tripping the light
fantastic toe" and repaired tathe spa
cious dancing hall, where the Bloody
Run String Band was in attendance
discoursing some of their finest music.
We are informed that our ter}ichore
an friends lingered in the giddy maze
until the 'wee saia' hours' warned
them to desist; for ourselves we cannot
say, as we do uot dance. Refreshments
were serv t(! at 4- o'clock, in the dining
hall, and a more rictiiy t at >'G
it has never been our pleasure to
our eyes upon. W'e had almost forgot
to say that the 'Harris Building' was
brilliantly illuminated during the en
lire evening. Altogether, this was the
most brilliant wedding jarty we have
ever attended or known in our vicini
ty. Mr. and Mrs. Harris spared noth
ing to add to the comfort and enjoy
ment of their guests, and few indeed
know so well how to entertain. Our
genial friend Stewart, who has so
gracefully siided into matrimony, will
be missed from our bachelor list but he
will accept our kindest wishes for his
future happiness. JENKINS."

OIL NEWS— We are indebted toO.
E. Shannon, Esq., for a copy of the
East Brady Independent, from which
we clip the following items which
will interest many of our readers, and
especially those of our citizens who
have invested in the "Stump Islands"
and other oil companies in that sec
tion :
The Parker Oil FMd.—The "Island
King" well commenced pumping 300
barrels saR water about Ist De<vmber.
After bursting several seed bags, a
light one was made finally, and she
Dumped a solid stream of salt water to
for several davs. when the oil began
color the water. As the water dimin
ished the oil increased, hhe is now
pumping bv actual measurement 150
barrels perdav and certainly not more
than one-third water,—so that she is
yielding fully 100 barrels of oil per
day. probably more.
The Engine house of the "Island
Queeri" burned down on Friday last.
The high water having stopped the
pumping, the well flowed through the
casing iu the night, and the throttle
leaking let the oil under the grate
bars and engine floor, when Mr. Dower
undertook to kindie the fire in the
morning after the water had subsided,
the whole thing went up in a flash.—
Fortunately Mr. D. was not injured,
and the loss is small, as Messrs. Galey
and Dower were just about to put up a
new engine above ordinary freshets. —
The Liand Queen is ft 30 barrel well
owned by John Gale.v and P. Dower.
The Island king is owned by Galey
and Hartley.
The Stump Island Oil <o. are pre
paring to sink three wells on the up
per Island, and two on the lower Is
land.
The artlev well, - No - 5. on the
Hartley and Shannon tract, is yield
ing 50 barrels. This well is :he first
below the Einlen. The Miama on the
Hartley tract No. 3is being drilled
through the thiol sand. She was test
ed when drilled only a few feet in the
third sand, but yielding only about 8
barrels, Col. Woodward is now having
her sunk deeper.
No. 1 and No. 4. on Hartley and
Shannon tijict, w ill soon be down, and
No. 2at the mouth of Hartley Run
will soon commence drilling. Also
two wells on Cottage Lot, belonging
to Hartley and Shannon, will soon be
under way. John Lambing le-see.
The Stump Island wells, at the
mouth of the Clarion River, had stop
ped pumping for 24 hours iri conse
quence of the flood, but flowed all the
time. The cribbing on the Island is
progressing and the wells will soon lie
out of reach of high water. The upper
one of these wells is now the "King"
well of the "Landing."
The above was "set up" last week,
but was crowded out. We gather ad
ditional items this week from the
Clarion Democrat , as follows:
The mild weather of the last ten
days, has stimulated developments in
thfsoil Eldorado materially. In fact,
every available piece of ground, large
i enough for theereetion of a derrick, on
the river front, fsom above the fowler
iraei to bear creek, nearly 4 miles,) is
taken up and being operated.
The hill territory is also being rapid
ly developed, and bids fair to out-sirip
the River flats. The developments in
and aisiut Lawrenceburg, shows con
clusively that it isequa! to, if not more
desirable than the River front.
There is a grand rush now for leases
on the tabie lauds of the Robison and
Fox farms. The big well gotten on
the bluff'tTerritory of the Koblson farm,
opposite the mouth of the Clarion, has
caused a big excitement, and conse
quently a great scramble fur leases on
the farms above mentioned, and I have
no doub., but It will prove excellent
territory. The well is said tube pump
ing 75bb!s j>er day.
From Parker up to Foxton then- is a
continual line of derricks—wells produ
cing, and wells going rapidly down.
By spring there will be double the pro
duction there. Viewing Parker from
the East side of the Allegheny, it real
ly looks like business, and may justly
claim to be king of Oildorn, A new
well was struck back of Parker yester
day, {I did not learn the exact locali
ty), and i.* reported at 75 hbls. This
w ill again increase the excitement ou
the hill. Leases are bting taken up.

A YER'S SARSAPARXEEA,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOI>.
The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from is cures. n.any of which are truly
marvellous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous dis
ease, where the system seemed saturated with
corruption, havo beeu purified and cured by it.
Scrofulous affections and disor Jers. which were
aggravated by the scrofulous contamination until
they were painfully afflicting. have been radical
ly cured in such great numbers in almost every
section of the country, that the public scarcely
need to be informed of its virtues or uses
Scrofulous poison is one ol the uiust destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and un
felt tenant of the organism undermiues the con
stitution, and invite* the attack of enfeebling or
fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its
presence Again, it seems to breed infectiox
throughout the body, and then, on some favora
ble occasion, rapidly develops into one or other of
its hideous forms, either on the surface or among
the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be sud
denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tuinora
formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by er
ruptlous on the skin, or foul nloera'uous on some
part ol the body. Hence the occasional use of a
bottle of this Saraaparflla is advisable, even when
no active symptoms of disease appear, persons
afflicted with the following complaints generally
find immediate relief, and. at length, cure, by the
use of mis Sarsaparilla St. Anthony s Fire.Rosa
or Erysipelas, Tetter. Salt Rheum, Scald Head,
Kingworft. Sore Eyes. Sore Ears, and other erup
lions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also
in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Drop
sy, Hear; Disease. Fits. Epilepsy. Neuralgia. and
the vr.rions FlcepS! *hotiou ol the muscular
and utrvoiu systems.
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseasesara
curad by it, though a long time Is required fur
subduing these obstinate maladies by any medi
cine. But long continued use of this medicine
will cur< the omnplaint Leacorrhoea or Waitea.
Uterine Ulcerations and Female Diseases, are
commonly aoon relieved and ultimately cured by
its purifying and invigorating effect. Minute Di
rection# "for each case are found in our Almanac,
supplied gratis. Rheumatism and flout, when
caused by accumulations of extraneous matters In
the blood, yield quickly to as also Liver Com
plaints, Torpidity, Congestion or loflamaattMß of
tne Liver, and jauulioe, when arising, as they of
ten do. from the rankling poisons in the blood.
This SAKSAPARILLA is a greet restorer for the
strength and vigor of the system. Those who are
Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and
troubled with Nervous Apprehensions or Fe.rs,
or any uf the affections symptomatic of WeaVnvss,
will find immediate relief and convincing evi
dence of its restorative power upon triul-
