RESOLVED. That we are opposed to the present plan of measuring wood brought to the Borough for sale, as it has operated injuriously to our citizens and does no good to any one except the seller and the wood measurer. RESOLVED, That the condition of our water works is disgraceful, and we trust that the people will elect Burgesses and Couneilmen who will give them the attention their importance demands. RESOLVED, That we pledge our united support to the election of the ticket presented by this meeting upon the basis of the above resolutions, and further that these proceedings be published in the Bedford Inquirer. On motion, Adjourned. Soldier's Orphans. A number of Soldiers' Orphans of this county have been accepted by the Superintendant of Sol dier's Orphans ot Pennsylvania and assigned to fhool at McAliistcrville, Juniata county, I'a. — There are still a large number that might and ought •> be provided for in this manner. Quite a misap prehension exists in some parts of the county in regard to the disposition the State will make of these pupils on their arrival at the age of fifteen.— For the purpose of quieting any fears that may be enteral ned by nervous mothers in relation to this matter we quote from the School Journal, for Jan., 1865, the following reply of Mr. Burrowes, the State Superintendant, to a question as to whether the children on their arrival at the age of fifteen years would be bound out, provided the parents or guar dians desired otherwise. Mr. Burrowes says: 'They will noL Only such will be bound out as desire it in writing, on or before arrival at the age of fifteen ; and this desire must then also be assented to by the- mother or nearest relative. And in case of such request and assent, the binding out will on ly be to such employment, and to such a master as Ihe orphan and the mother shall select, with the consent of the Superintendent. If this request be not made, the orphan, at fifteenl will be restored to the Mother. The committee, John W. Lingenfelter, Esq., Chairman, J. R. Durborrow, Mrs. Anna Shuck. Mrs. Adam Carn, ami Miss Emma Barclay are ready to furnish and to assist any person or persons who desire to avail themselves of the pro visions made by the state. The Hancock Veteran Army Corps. V\ e call the especial attention of our veterans to the advertisement of the above Corps in our coluins of this morning. We have every faith in the man agement of the recruiting, as well as in the able and tried officer whose natne it bears. Mr. Franklin, the gentleman who conducts the recruiting depart ment in this State is said to be an energetic man, one who stands deservedly high in the estimation of the National Government. His official position has enabled him to obtain full knowledge of the bo gus substitute, bounty-jnmping business, loafers and swindlers generally, and he is therefore competent and anxious to protect the veteran.', against all sharpers. The bounties offered are certainly on the most magnificent scale yet offered to the pub lic. Head the advertisement and then call for a cir cular at this office. DR. E. B. FOOTE, 1180 Broadway, New York, — read his notice in another column of this paper. THE DRAFT.

SHOEMAKER. " U G. W. RUPP, " The property of this company is all owned in fee sim ple and is all paid for, and consists of the following tracts: Ist. That valuable island, known a the "Lower Stump Creek Island," containing 2 acres and 93 perches, situated in the Allegheny river, at the mouth of toe Clarion river. On this island a derrick was erected in the spring of 1881. and an engine placed on the grounds, but the war break ing out, the parties sold off and enlisted. 2d. The "Upper Stump Creek Island," situated but a few rods above the lower island, containing 4 acres and 20 perches, 4 acres of which are uwned by this company, on which lire erected a house, stable, Ac. Neither of these islands is liable to overflow, and both are well protected by stone anil trees againct washing. By reference to the map of Pennsylvania, it will be observed that the Clarion riv er empties into the Allegheny at a point due south from Oil Creek, and as oil is found at Freeport, on this line further south, we have every reason to believe that these islands are in the very centre of the great oil belt of Penn ♦rlvania. Besides all this, they He far below the coal measures. The company also owns 1 acre and 61 perches of land about oi miles above the upper island, at the month of Ritehey Run, near the town of Kmlenton, \enango Co., Pa., upon which is the celebrated Fox and W idel well, with new engine, derrick, building, Ac., Ac., and well bor ed to the depth of 420 feet. This well was tubed at 850 feet, end in a few hours pumping yielded about one bar rel of oil, bat the proprietors determined to sink it deep -1 er, and the company will, as soon as possible, sink this well if necessary to the depth of 1600 feet or more. The "Stmnp Islands Company" ownes the whole interest in well, fixtures and laud, and "Development Fund" will be amply sufficient to complete this well and sink others in The, Islands. There is besides, room enough on the Ritehey Run tract for several more wells. The property owned by this company is all practical boring territory, and persons acquainted with the lauds along the Allegheny and other oil streams, will bear tes timony that we have more practical boring surface face than many of the 360 acre tracts contain In addition to this, one basis will compare favorably, with the large majority of Companies, whose Capital stock is five times as great. The services of n efficient Superintendent have been obtained, and the Directors are determined to prosecute operations vigorously. Persons desirous of securing a portion of the 21,660 shares of stock, must apply soon, to Hon. 8. L. Russell, Bedford Penn'a.; at whose office subscriptior. books have been opened for the sale of Stocks, at $1.60 per share. Feb. 10, 1809.
