Meeting of (he Bedford Bible
Society.
At a meeting of the Society, Sunday evening,
in the Presbyterian church, tbe Rev. Dr. Brown, of
Cannonsburg, opened the proceeding! with a fer
vent and eloquent prayer in behalflhe society,
its interest and the spread of the Gospel generally.
An appropriate hymn being then sung by the
choir, the President of the Society, Rev. John
Lyon, made a statement of affairs ot the associa
tion, which being partly based upon the Treas
urer's report, exhibited a very fair and encourag.
lng record. The people who have met its mana
gers in a liberal spirit can rest assured that their
donations have been applied to good and useful
purposes—"bread cast upon the waters."
The society was then ably and eloquently ad
dressed by Rev. Mr. Kepler, of Bedford, and Rev.
Mr. Torrence, of Philadelphia.
A new and unusual interest appears to bo felt in
this society. Its object is to spread and circulate
the Bible. And it is this only that contracts the
spread and circulation of crime. Its spirit may
quell the fanatics of our land and restore peace.—
No wonder an interest is lelt in the Bible. After a
benediction from Rev. Mr. Phelps, the society
adjourned.
Tbe law ju?tpa.'cd by Congress, giving to the
President power to close certain ports, presents
a new question to European diplomats. This
government does not admit that it bas blocka
ded the ports of tbe south, or that it is now
blockading those ports. It closed tbe ports
in the absence of Congress because tbe laws of
tbe United States could not be executed in tbeui
and Mr. Lincoln to-day takes the ground that,
•without a solitary vessel at Charleston, the
English government would be guilty of a vio
lation of the law of nations if she attempted
to carry on trade with that port. The Secre
tary of the Navy will use all tbe naval forces
t bis command to see that the law of Cocgress
is ibspected but he does not oonsider it block
ading those ports, but an embargo, and the
government will qousider any foreign vessel a
lawful prize at any plaoe, wherever and when
ever found if it has at any time entered one
of our closed ports after doe notice thereof.

NOTICE.
HAVING debts of our own to pay, we respect
fully eall upon all persons knowing themselves
to be in our debt, to pay up—
This notice is not intended for t hose of our
friends who pay us promptly, but especially for a
certain large class, who having purchased our
coeds, never trouble themselves about paying for
the same—
Many of the latter having had the use of our
capital so long, must really imagine they have a
better right to it than ourselves.
To this class we now say, in language which we
hope they will not misunderstand— we want at least
a portion of means in their hands —to meet our own
liabilaties—and if kind invitations to "pay up"
avail not—ws will try a harsher though unpleasant
remedy—and that verv shortly.

ULISSICIL INSTITUTE.
_
THE 3d school year of this Institution will open
on Monday, Sept. 2d, lfil. Miss E. D. Ward
will act as Assistenr in English and as sole in "trac
tor in Latin, French, German, Drawing and Paint
ing. Experience has convinced the Principal, that
there is no thorough and masterly education even
for the mere English scholar without a drill in
outline drawing (to which the first principles of the
Perspective will be added.) How can the Dia
grams of Geography, Natural Philosophy, Botany,
&c., be thrown accurately upon the board, with
out previous training in Outlines i This exercise
is invaluable, too, by impressing upon Ike mind a
habit of precision and of the perception of proportion
in all things■ In the schools of Prussia the child
is drilled in drawing from the moment is can hold
a pen, and Horace Mann says, it is this early drill,
which imparts that skill and accuracy of hand,
which render the penruarship oi the Prussian
i child, a model of legibility and elegance. In order
| to bring this invaluable accomplishment within
; reach of all ; the Principal has resolved to charge
J but sl. instead of 8 or $lO, per quarter, as is
| usual where it is taught as an extra. Every mem.
bcr of the school will be required to pursue the
study from 15 to 20 minutes every day.
Tbe Principal would also desire to form the
whole school, who have studied English Grammar,
into a class in French at $2 per Quarter. But
this study is not made peremptory. It will how
ever affoid a most rare opportunity of pursuing,
under an Instructress who has studied French in
j Paris, and who is otherwise an accomplished scholar,
a branch, whose usual cost is $8 or $lO per quar
ter.
No pupil will be received for less than one school
year. Those who reflect, will doubtless appreciate
tie reasonableness equity of this rule. De
duction will be made only in case of prolonged
sickness, or of similar overruling Providence.—
Until tbe new School Honse is ready for the re
ception of the school, it will convene for a few
I weeks in tbe basement of the Lutheran Church,
I which is central for all.

THE
BUY DISCOVERY WOITIY
OF ANY CONFIDENCE FOR
RESTORING
THE BALI) m CRAY.
Many, since the great discovery of Prof. Wood,
have attempted not only to imitate bis restorative,
but profess to have discovered something that
would produce results identical; but they bare all
come and gore, being carried away by the wonder
ful results of Prof. Wood's preparation, and have
been forced to leave the field to its resistless sway.
Read the following :
Bath, Maine, April 18th, 1859.
PROF. O. J. WOOD & Co. : Gents.: —The letter
I wrote you in 1856 concerning your valuable Hair
Restorative, and which you have published in this
vicinity and elsewhere, has given rise to numerous
enquiries touching the facts in the case. The en
quiries are first, is it a fact of my habitation and
name, as stated in the communication ; second, it
is true of all therein contnHte L? third, does my
hair still continue i > It in gn <1 order and of natural
| color 1 To all 1 can and answer invariably yes.-
My bail is even better thai, in any stage of my life
! for 40 years past, more sui i, thrifty, and 1 tetter
colored ; the same is true ol my whiskers, and tho
only cause why it is net generally true, is that the
substance, is wshetl < ti' ly f" qut-nt ablution of
the face, when if care were used by wiping the face
in close connection with the whiskers, the same
result will follow us the hair. 1 have been in {be
receipt of u great number ol letters from all parts
of New England, asking me it my hair still con
tinues to be good ; us there is so much fraud in the
manufacture and sale of various compound* as
well as this, it his,' no doubt been basely imitated
and been used, not only without any good ' fleet,
but to absolute injury. I have not used any of
your Restorative of any account for some months,
and yet my hair is us good us ever, and hundreds
have examined ji with snrprife, as I am now 61
years old aud not a gr:> iuir in my head or on my
face ; aud to prove m.o fact, 1 send you a lock of
my hair taken off the past week. 1 received your
tavor of two quait bottles last summer, for which
I am very grateful ; I give it to my friends ud
thereby induced them to try it, many were skepti
cal until after trial, and then purchased and u*ed it
with universal success. 1 wi l ask as a favor, that
you send me ati t by which 1 can discover fraud
in the Restorative, sold by many, I fear, without
authority from you. A pure article will insure
success, and I believe w here good effects do not
follow, the failure is caused by the impure article,
which curses the inventor ol the good. 1 deem it
my duty as heretofore, to keep you apprised of the
continued effect on my hair, as I assure a!) who
enquiie of tna of my unshaken opinion of its valu
able results. I remain, dear sir, yours,
A. C. RAYMOND.
Aaioiis, Run Ky , Nov. So, 1358.
I'ROF.O. J. WOOD: Dear Sit :—I would certainly
be doing you a great injustice not to make known
to the world, the won .erlul, as well as the unex
pected lesult 1 have experienced from using ONE
battle ol youi Hair Restorative. After using every
kind of Re.-toraiives ext nt, but with >ut success,
and finding my head neatly destitute of bair, I was
finally induced to try a bottle of your Hair Re
storative. Now, candor and justice compel me to
announce to whoever may read this, that I now
possess a new and beautiful growth of hair, which
I pronounce ricner and handsomer than the origi
nal was. I will therefore tako occasion to recom
mend this invaluable remedy to ALL who may feel
the necessity of it Kaspcctfulli' yours,
REV. S. ALLEN BROCK,
P. S —This testimonial of my approbation lot
your valuable medicine (as you are aware of) is
unsolicited : —but if you think it worthy a place
among the rest, insert if you wish ; if not destroy
ami say nothing. Yours, &c., Rev. S A. B.
The Restorative is put up in bottles of three
sires. viz : large medium, and small, the small
holds i a pint and retails for one dollar per bottle ;
the mediums hold at least twenty per cent more in
proportion than the small, retails for two dollars
per bottle ; the large holds a quart, 40 per cent,
more in proportion and retails tor $3 a bottle. O.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla
A compound remedy, in which vrc have la
bored to produce the most effectual alterative
that can be made. It is a concentrated extract
of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with othcf
substances of still greater alterative power as
to afford an effective antidote for the diseases
Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed
that such a remedy is wanted by those who
suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one
which will accomplish their cure must prove
of immense service to this large clasß of our
afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this
compound will do it has been proven by exper
iment on many of the worst cases to be found
of the following complaints:
SCROVULA AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS,
ERUPTIONS AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCERS,
PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, TUMORS, SALT RHEUM,
SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND SYPHILITIC AF
FECTIONS, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY, NEU
RALGIA OR TIC DOULOUREUX, DEBILITY,"" DYS
PEPSIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE
OR ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from IMPURITY OF
THE BLOOD.
This compound will be found a great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel the foul humors which -fester in the
blood at that season of the year. By the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or aores; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation, of accomplishing these ends. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary rem of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.
