BEDFORD. PI.. FRIDAY. FEB. 17. 1885. ■ ■ ■■ ■ . ... SUV' OL II TURMS, as we have published eonspicu- j oiisiy foi more than six Months, are §2,00 strictly in advance. $2,25, if three months or more in ureas, §•2,50 after the close of the year. No considerate man who wishes our and his paper to prosper, will j ask it for less. It co3ts us more than three times as much to print it now. than it cost our predecessor three years ego. Paper, the chief item of expense, cost him 325.00 a year. It is now costing us for paper, at the rate of $1313.76 a year! Our other expenses are happily not increased in this propor tion, but they are more than double what they were, at the time we speak of. These facts may be taken as an URGENT request for every subscriber to pay up his arreas, and if convenient make an advance payment. We need money! VYE ARE VERY MUCH IN NEED OF MONEY ! ! WE MUST HAVE MONEY!!! To OVB DISTANT SUBSCRIBERS.—OAR subscribers out of the County and State are requested to remit the amount of their subscriptions, $2.25. if more than three months in arrears. As APPRENTICE to learn the art of Printing, will be received in this office. Application should be made immediately. The Democrats in Council. The remnant of the forlorn Democracy held a meeting in the Court House, on Monday evening. The constant process of purging the party of "rene gades"' is becoming perceptible in the thinned ranks of the unterrified. The Court House on this occa sion was but moderately filled with a melancholy and sorrowing audience. O. PI. Shannon, Esq., was the first speaker. His remarks were based upon Greenbacks, Negro Suf frage, and Gen. Coffroth's vote on the amendment to the Constitution. He said the greenback system was dangerous to the laboring community, as so many men turned their attention to speculation. The country was flooded with paper currency, and everybody was turning speculator, and consequent ly the farming interest suffered. He could not see how the farmers would get their grain harvested, owing to the scarcity of hands; that the scarcity of laborers could not be attributed to the number of men in the army, but owing to the speculation that absorbed the attention of so many ; and the cause of all this speculation was attributable to the Green back currency. He next turned his attention to Negro Suffrage. The admission of a colored attor ney to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States, a few days since, gave him great fears thai the day was not far distant when the negro would step up to the polls and vote with the white men with whom he was talking, which he was not ready for, and hoped the Democracy would yet get into power to prevent such an outrage upon intelligent people. He was particularly severe upon Gen. Coffroth f<sr his late vote in favor of the amendment* 10 the Constitution abolishing slavery. He could not tell why this vote was given, as he was elected on the principle of the Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was. May be money bad something to j Jo with it.vznd may be he (Gen. Coffroth) expected I by giving this vote that he might be assisted in his I contest with Gen. Koontz. He told the Democracy I that they must be more careful in the future in the selection of candidates, and nominate none but the simon-pure men who would not betray them in the hour of ueed. Again, he would prefer Gen. Koontz to Coffroth at this time, and one would suppose from his remarks in relatiou to this particular case, that he regretted that he ever gave his vote to the j recreant member of Congress from Somerset. He I (Shannon) declared that he was neither Pro-Slavery or Antr-Slavery, and did not care three continent- I als which way it was settled ; but he did not believe I we had the authority or power to amend the Consti- I tution. He gave several illustrations to show that he was right, which illustrations his hearers could not appreciate. Mr. Meyers, of the Gazette, was the next speaker. He commenced by saying that there was no issue before the Democracy at this particular time. He appeared before them for the purpose of placing himself right before the people on the proposed amendment to the Constitution. It had been re marked by some of bis good friends (who lately left the Democratic party) that he fMeyers) favored the vote of Gen. Coffroth. He declared once for all that he did not favor the course of Mr. Coffroth, and. further, that he believed the proposed amend ment to be Unconstitutional. He wished the De mocracy purified; and men who refused to subscribe to the tried principles of Democracy thrown over board. He finally concluded that the Democracy had a great work before them. The question of negro suffrage was now, or soon would be, upon them, and then it was necessary to have a perfect organization of their party, in order to defeat fanat icism. If Gov. Curtin bears of the proceedings of this meeting, and the speech of Mr. Meyers, he will cer tainly conclude that his friends are to be found in the Democratic party of Bedford. Mr. Meyers ap plauded him for his manliness in showing the ad ministration its faults and rascality, in the number of men it required of Pennsylvania to fill our defi ciency on former drafts. He was scarcely applauded during his remarks, and one would suppose, from his manuer of speaking, that he still fears that the simon-pure Democracy of this county refuse to en dorse his savings, owing to his former political opinions. Ot'H Q cor A. —Present appearances indicate that the Borough s quota (20) will not be filled by volun teer enlistments, for the reason that the bounties are not forthcoming by subscription. The amount ne cessary to be raised is $9,000; which if equally dis tributed among those liable to draft in the borough, would be each there being ninety-two on the list. Thirty-five hundred dollars was subscribed a few days ago, and the matter came to a stand. It seems to us that if a concerted effort be made, the bounties can still be raised, provided that each con tributes his quota of funds. ADMITTED. —Jona. B. Cessna, of Bedford borough, J. T. Keagv, and E. F. Kerr, were admitted to the practice of law in the several Courts in Bedford county, on motion of S. L. Russell, Esq., on Wed nesday the 15th inst. Their examination was pri vate, so that the public will never know the extent of their preliminary qualifications. No doubt, how ever, they will soon attain to a high reputation as ! able and successful practitioners at the bar. 1 HE WEATHER for a week past lias been stormy ! and cold. Monday morniug, at day break, the ! mercury was thirteen degrees below zero, and on i Tuesday morning eleven degrees below. Accord- ' ihg to all accounts this is the severest winter expe- | rieuced in these parts for a nufflher of years. j School Exhibition RLFWTEL Rioody HUH, on Will tie iiela i" 8: PfHHtfc,- .

We have no doubt Mr. H. will be liberally sustained, as a store of the kind he has opened is Hry much needed in this place. See his advtertiseraent in an other column. THE DRAFT. —Up to the time we go to press, (Thursday afternoon,) we have no definite informa tion in regard to the draft; but we suppose it has been deferred a few days, in order to make correc tions in the enrollment lists, Ac. We understand the names of persons drafted will not be published before the official notification is served upon them. THE Exchange Hotel in Hollidaysburg was burn ed to the ground early on Thursday morning, the 9th inst., with most of its contents. Several board ers narrowly escaped with their lives. The loss of Mr. Aultz, the landlord, is about ten thousand dol lars. No insurance.

BROWN'S BRONCHIAL TROCHES are widely known as an established remedy for Coughs, Colds, Bron chitis, Hoarseness, and other troubles of the Throat and Lungs.

By reference to the map oftFeanfylViuiitfc it will be observed that the Clarion riv er empties into the Allegheny at a point due south from W!

The c,.iAp.'i,y also owns 1 acre and 61 perches of land about 5} miles above the upper island, at the mouth of Ritehey Ren. near the town ot Emlenton, Venango Co., Pa., upon which is the celebrated Fox and Wide! well, with engine, derrick, building, Ac., Ac., and well bor ed to the 4Npih of <2O feet.

The VStiyup islands Company" ownes the I thole interest in well, fixtures and laml and "Development Fund" will be amply stofeStat to eotupletejlbU well and sink others in the Islands.

FLORENCE. Washington, January 1,1864. Gentlemen. —Having stated it verbally to you, I have no hesitation, in writing the fact, that I experienced mark ed benefit from your Hooftand's German Bitters. During along and tedious session of Congress, pressing andoner ous duties, nearly prostrated me. A kind friend suggest ed the nsepf the preparation I have named. I took his advice, and the result was improvement of health, renew ed energy, and that particular relief I so much needed and obtained. Others may be similarly advantaged if they desire to be. Truly your friend, Thomas B. Floresce. From John B. Wiekersham, Esq., firm of Wiekersham A Hutchison, the celebrated Manufacturers of Fancy- Iron Works, 259 Canal St. lam the recipient from you of one of the greatest fa vors thai, can he conferred upon man, viz: that cf health. For many years have I suffered from one of the most an noying and debilitating complaints that the human fami ly can be afflicted with, Chronic Diarrhea. During the long time I was suffering from this disease, I was attended by regular physicians, giving me but tem porary relief. The cause seemed to remain until I was induced to try Hoofland's German Bitters. After the use of a few bottles of that valuable medicine, the complaint appeared to be completely eradicated. I often inwardly thank you for such a valuable specific and, whenever I have an opportunity, cheerfully recom mend it, with full confidence in its reliability. Truly yours, JoHX B. WICKERSHAM. New York, Feb. 2, 1864. From Julius Lee, Esq., firm of Lee A Walker, the most extensive Music Publishers in the United States, No. 722 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. February Stb, 1864. Messrs. Jones <t Evans—Gentleman: — My mother-in. law has been so greatly benefitted by your Hoofland's Ger man Bitters that I concluded to try it myself. I find it to be an invaluable tonic, and unhesitatingly recommend it to all who are suffering from dyspepsia. I have had that disease in its most obstinate form—flatulence—for many years, and your Bitters has given me ease when every thing else had failed. Yours truly, Julidr Lee. From the Hon. JACOB BROOM, Philadelphia, Oct. 7th, 1863. Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to tho effec produced by the use of Hoofland's German Bitters, in mv family, I have no hesitatien in saying that it has been highly beneficial. In one instance, a case of dyspepsia of thirteen years' standing, and which had become very dis tressing, the use of one bottle gave decided relief, the sec ond affecting a cure, and the third, it seems, has confirmed the cure, for there has been no symptoms of its return for the last six years. In my individual use of it 1 find it o be an unequalled tonic, and sincerely recommend its use to the sufferers. Truly yours, JACOB BROOM, 1707 Spruce St. Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of 12th Baptist Church, Philadelphia, December 26tb, 1863. Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentlemen: | I have recently b en laboring under the distressing effects of indigestion, accom panied by a prostration of tha nervns system, numerous remedies were recon mended by riends, and some of them tested, but without relief. Your Hoofland's German Bitters were recommended by persons who had tried them, and whose favorable mention of the Bitters induced me also to try 'hem. I must confess that I had an aversion to Patent Medicines, from the "thousand and one" quack "Bitters" whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and drugged liquor upon the community, in a sly way; and the tendency of which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that yours was really a medicine preparation, I took it with happy effect. Its actio* was not upon only the stomach, but upon the nervous system, was prompt and gratifying. I feel that I have derived great and permanent benefit from the use of a few bottles. Very respectfully j?', W. D. SEIGFRIED, No. 254 Shackamaxon St. From the Rev. Thos. Winter, D.
