RESOI TED, That in the opinion of this meeting the
management of the Common Schools of the Borough
of Bedford ought to be changed and a High School
established.
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.
The following is a complete lwt of the drafted
men, dmfted last week at Chaaiberabu.g, for the
various sub-district*, composing this county. Bed
ford Borough having made an effort to raise volun
teers to fill her quota, the time for drafting has been
extended. We hope that a sufficient sum. of money
will be rawed to induce men to volunteer, and thus
save us from a second conscription. We have been
'f&cpieotly asked whether men who pui<j tommuta
tion during 1864 will be exempt. We answer once
for all. they will not.

November, when be loft her, saying that he was
going to Tyrone to ship grain. His wife has not
since seen hint nor heard from bitn. It has been
ascertained that he went to Tyrone, but not to buy
grain. Where he went from there is not known.
It is a clear ease of fraud and desertion. The
deserted wife asks us to give publicty to the facts,
i in hope that the scoundrel yjay be arrested and

i shirts, upon the latter of which, is marked the

five years qM, about five feeteig .t inches in hight

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.
